...rejected a painting, you are so much closer to knowing what he was going after,” she says. “If nothing else, the collection confirms the materials and tools of the artist,” Mancusi-Ungaro says, citing a debate over whether Newman used spray atomizers. An atomizer was among Newman’s tools, still covered in splashes of the same blue as one of his paintings. “Scholars and conservators in the future should know that they can come to Harvard to study Barnett Newman’s materials...
...Chinese characters across most of the side of City Hall. They read "Save Queen's Pier" (an ironic appeal on behalf of a now demolished landmark), and the reason he can write them with impunity is because they are drawn using a laser pointer in high-intensity light - not spray paint. By standing on the roof of a parking lot across the street, he also avoids any danger of trespassing. When he's done, Yan erases the words by clicking a button on the laser pointer, connected to a laptop and projector at his feet. He then moves...

It worked, but to catch on with subsistence farmers, Osborn had to find a cheaper solution. Hence his invention of the chili fence - a rope hung with rags smeared in engine grease mixed with crushed chilies. And chili smoke, generated by burning animal...
...someone to clap as we go by is not fewer heroes but more parades. This is why, on any given weekend, Harvard students receive invitations to three “Parties for Microfinance,” one intimate violin concert, and two innovative re-imaginings of Greek tragedy featuring spray-paint and live garden spiders. Also, the Pan-Australian Dance Collective wants us to come to their Jamboree vs. Malaria. Harvard boasts nearly 400 organizations—somewhat above the Ivy League average: Yale has 249; Princeton “more than 200.” And all of these...
