Portland
Museum welcomes Bowdoin artists
MATT LAJOIE, STAFF WRITER
When visitors enter the Portland Museum of Art for the
next two and a half months, the first image that will greet them is "Transom,"
an installation piece by Bowdoin professor Mark Wethli. This is part of
the 2003 Portland Museum of Art Biennial, an exhibition that showcases
the work of Maine's best emerging and established contemporary artists.

Angry guys get funny
MONICA GUZMAN, COLUMNIST
There's something about Jack Nicholson's face that makes
one think of all that is psychotic and strange. From films such as The
Shining and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next to As Good As It Gets, the
man is known for playing guys with serious mental issues. And he's damn
good at it too. [read the article]
Drugs, date rape, and some great acting
MACAELA FLANAGAN, STAFF WRITER
Lights up. Enter Vince: dancing and singing to Steve Miller
Band's "Swingtown," chugging beer (literally), and hanging around
a Motel 6 room in his underwear. I thought I was in store for a comedy.
Instead, Tape proves to be a dark journey down memory lane for three former
high school friends. [read the article]
In
the heart of Wish Theater
HANNAH DEAN, STAFF WRITER
Place: a motel room, a military camp in Saudi Arabia, another
room, the Iraqi desert. Time: Future, past, and, most importantly, present.
In the Heart of America, by Naomi Wallace, is a play that may be set in

across the barriers of both. Wallace's explorations of violence, the nature
of man, and the definition of love all reach a worldly level that undercuts
historical or descriptive constraints. [read

Eating
treats without the meat
KERRY ELSON, COLUMNIST
Just imagine what would happen if Aunt Voula, that lamb-loving
Grecian of the solemn, Oscar-worthy indie hit, My Big Fat Greek Wedding,
were to enter Little Lad's Bakery and Café, the Maine chain's latest
offspring on Mill Street. [read the article]
Can we define "Indie Rock?"
SEAN TURLEY, COLUMNIST
So, I spent part of break with my former radio co-host
DJ punkster Sarah Moran '03 in New York. After a couple days, when the
novelty of a visitor started to fade, she invited her Brearly friends
over for some chitchat. Needless to say, I was absolutely enthralled by
the situation and started up a little conversation with her leather clad
friend, Lucy. [read the article]

| From top to bottom: a group of students/models took their poses on the catwalk Saturday night. Crowds cheered as their strutted their stuff in this season's hottest clothing. From South Asian garments to Korean traditional dress, the fashion show embraced international styles as well as modern haute couture (top). Costumes made out of beer boxes were applauded by Sustainable Bowdoin for a creative way to reuse cardboard (middle). The crows was also entertained by various feats of strength, some involving the lifting of models by other, stronger models (bottom). (Hans Law, Bowdoin Orient) |
