Kathe Widen at Will Laughlin's Collected Fictions.

Will's been curating for the Coffeehouse Gallery and doing an amazing job. His Collected Fictions was an intriguing look at what some of CIA's younger artists are doing.

Students with Toby Devan Lewis and Julie Langsam following their Report from New Orleans.

Ms. Langsam's painting students did a great job relating their experiences from the Prospect 1 Biennial. Tales such as meeting Mel Chin and seeing first hand the devastation of the 9th Ward, as well as their reflections on the works they saw made for one of the seasons most interesting talks. Thanks to Julie for setting this up. It was great!

Report from New Orleans: the Prospect 1 Biennial

Aitken Auditorium - Gund (*NOTE - Location Change)

Students sponsored by money from the Motto Chair Award (given to painting head Julie Langsam) visited the historic Biennial and give their report. There should be lots of images and lots of witty banter to go along with the presentation. If you weren't able to actually go to New Orleans in November, or if you just want a refresher, this is definitely the talk for you.

Stiles was born in 1978 in Boston, MA and adopted the computer as his primary compositional/performance instrument at the age of 12. By the age of 17 Stiles had begun doing computer-based performances before large crowds as well as televised audiences and national conferences. Stiles received a B.A.from Vassar College in Cognitive Science, writing his thesis on Music Perception. Upon graduating from Vassar in 2000, Stiles was awarded a Fellowship from the Thomas J.
