Spotlight on the Rose 10-29-2019

(10/29/19 10:00am)

   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.

Yayoi and her dream land

(10/29/19 10:00am)

You’ve seen the photos on Instagram: selfies framed by a bastion of mirrored globes, oblong balloons alight with polka dots, maybe a giant pumpkin whose bulging folds are a garish yellow — Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Rooms have become ubiquitous across the art and social media worlds. In its most recent iteration, “Yayoi Kusama: LOVE IS CALLING” (open through Feb. 7, by advance ticket only), sits in one of the main galleries at the waterfront space of the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, accompanied by another show, “Beyond Infinity” (also open through February).

BLSO panels discuss rights of undocumented immigrants and latinx identity

(10/22/19 10:00am)

Brandeis Latinx Student Organization celebrated the end of Latinx Heritage Month last Saturday with “FuturX”: a three-event showcase of Latinx identity. “FuturX” culminated in “Incendio: Golden Touch” — BLSO’s fourth annual culture show according to the Facebook event description. The first two events were smaller, focusing on two important issues that the Latinx community faces: the legal status of undocumented immigrants and the controversy over the term Latinidad due to its narrow interpretation of Latinx identity.

Try your luck and win some boba at VSA’s ‘Caesars Palace’

(10/22/19 10:00am)

On Oct. 16, the Vietnamese Student Association hosted “Caesars Palace,” an event based on traditional casino games popular in Vietnam. The idea behind the event was inspired by its Vietnamese cultural roots.  First, VSA presented a slideshow which explained the history behind gambling in Vietnam: playing board and card games helps to strengthen bonds between family and friends and is also believed to bring good luck. Although gambling is technically illegal in Vietnam, people still enjoy playing games and placing bets on events within the country and on a global scale. Because of this, casino businesses are a new development in Vietnam to celebrate this social activity which brings people together.
