Aside from your classic college dorm string of Christmas lights hanging from the ceiling, the […]

Remember like, a month ago when art ran amok? Well its reign of terror continues, this time in the Piano Lounge, where last week’s wall against prejudice has taken up temporary residence. It’s worth a walk-around, and the fact that the piece dominates the once-roomy lounge is probably symbolic, or something–Bwog finds it a bit […]

Too busy to make it to the Met? Butler displays are a poor substitute, but will do for a few minutes’ distraction. Bwog rookie Rob Stenson critiques the latest.  It’s exhibition installation season at Columbia, with first year MFAs in Schermerhorn (from high-art pornography to cable TV), and a senior thesis show in Dodge (exhibition […]

 More stuff you shouldn’t have saved on a public computer.   However, only the artists know the intentions that lie behind these choices. Since they are dead, we will never know but can guess.   These artists seem almost the equivalent of psychologists in that rather than telling us what is important, they depict it […]
