...Benders. "PERVERTED! SOULLESS! A LOVE AFFAIR DESTROYED BY AN EXPERIMENT SO TERRIFYING IT DEFIES HUMANITY!" Sound bloody awful? It is. And that's a shame, because it needn't have been. The plot of this British thriller has a built-in beaut of a scientific gimmick: a visual recapitulation of some eerie experiments in "sensory deprivation" conducted recently in Britain and the U.S. Object of the experiments: to find out what happens to people who for long periods forgo the use of their senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, weight and direction...
...Henry cannot smother all, not a capable Glendower (Nick Delbanco) or a roaring mad Scots fighter (Robert Rose as Douglas), and absolutely not the visual effect of a production staged with a Prussian precision of technical detail. Indeed, the only serious technical flaw is in the trying matter of accents in an American production: the lead characters ought to agree on a degree of approximation to the Queen's English and on a pronunciation of Bolingbroke. Otherwise, the Loeb has poured its professional competence freely: there is much swordplay, adequately trained; Donald Soule's stolid set suits the play superbly...
...concerned with the elusive borderline between reality and art, that moment of ambiguity when an object could be either or both. The flag posed a problem: "You don't see it because you are busy knowing it is a flag." The problem was to turn it into "a visual situation only. How could it be altered so that it could become a painting?" Sometimes, Johns painted the flag in its normal colors, and the flag became flag first and then painting. Sometimes he made it all grey or all white, and made the painting appear first. He was also...
Words like "stark" and "raw" have been used both to praise and to criticize Le Corbusier's buildings. However, little has been said about one of the most primitive features of the new Visual Arts Center; the tall colored panels between the windows can be opened to provide a degree of natural ventilation in the upper four floors. This innovation would not have surprised the Indian who left a smoke hole in the top of his tepee and generous gaps around the bottom, but subsequent American architecture has largely overcome natural ventilation...
Since this series of offenses seemed destined to continue, news that Le Corbusier had planned natural ventilation for the Carpenter Visual Arts Center was a welcome surprise. The air regulation system of the completed structure, however, is a disappointment. Only in air movement does the new building improve upon other contemporary architecture at Harvard. Noise is comparable to some of the worst cases in the University. Large, rumbling banks of furnaces and fans actually form parts of the walls in two class areas; air whistles out at such speed that some floor vents have been lifted from their fittings...
