For a lot of students at Brandeis University, college is the first time they leave their homes and the friends they grew up with, and move into a brand new environment. They try out different classes and clubs and participate in all kinds of activities. To showcase the lives of the Brandeis students, the 2019 Family Weekend Variety Show hosted 13 student groups to perform for the community and visiting parents. A combination of improv, music, a cappella, dance and more were showcased last Saturday night, at the event hosted by Dean of Students Jamele Adams, Maryam Chishti ’20 and Arial Nieberding ’20. The Justice had the chance to talk to Rebecca Goldfarb ’21, the student coordinator of the event, about the process of putting on such a massive show and what she learned from being an organizer.

Of all the works by Gordon Matta-Clark that are displayed in the Rose Art Museum, one of the pieces that stood out the most to me was a documentary film about FOOD, a restaurant located in SoHo, New York between 1971 and 1974. While it does not involve deconstructing architecture or creating graffiti on the Berlin Wall, it may very well be one of the finest representations of the values that Matta-Clark believed in.
