After Jarman succumbed to AIDS in 1994, she mourned not only the his passing but his elliptical, confrontational style. "That kind of art is dead," she said. "What you can do now is subvert with art that disguises itself as commerce." That may sound like an admission of defeat...
...shock for the Crimson’s first varsity eights when each boat missed its respective Grand Final at Easterns and had to settle for wrapping up their days in the petite final.This season, the Harvard crews reclaimed their places among the EARC’s best yesterday at Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass., winning their first heats by decisive margins to advance to the Grand Finals.“Last year was a disappointing season for the whole team,” lightweight captain Jeff Overington said. “This year was a complete 180-degree turnaround...
