...where is my house?" The question doesn't need to be answered; the worker is one of Fellini's eccentrics, tolerated in a good-natured way but not respected. Aurelio's wife locks him inside the house on the day II Duce comes to speak so he can't walk about in his "socialist necktie." The fascists shoot the record player he's planted in the bell-tower and march off to the bars congratulating themselves on their bravery...

Traditionally, exhibits hang for the first week of February--a pretty hectic juncture--or during May and June, when students sit in front of exams while alumnae walk the galleries. Professors assemble these shows from pieces assigned in classes, which explains both the scheduling and the monotonous bent to their subject matter. Once in a while, you stumble on collections by seniors, but these usually feature a single artist, for lack of space. Gathering the work of several...
