WELLESLEY COLLEGE

thursday, jan 27-feb 21.

Trigger and Reconfigure. 4:45pm. Jewett Art Gallery.

A work of art begins with an encounter between an object or image and the

artist. The found form, not necessarily interesting or beautiful to others, is so

compelling to the artist that it must be engaged with, seized. Intuitively the

artist understands the possibilities this form offers for reinvention. The making

of art is a dialogue-grappling, coaxing, and nudging of form until a new light or

life emerges. For more information at the arts at Wellesley College, visit

http://issuu.com/wellesley/docs/artscalendarsp11. On display from 1/22-

2/21.

OFF CAMPUS

Babson Global Film Series: Our Daily Bread. 7pm. Carling-Sorenson Theater Dir. Nikolaus Geyrhalter (2006) Dispensing entirely with explanatory commentary or 'talking-head' interviews, OUR DAILY BREAD unfolds on the screen like a disturbing dream: an endlessly fascinating flow of images, an insistent gaze, accompanied only by the persistent industrial soundtrack—whirring, clattering, booming, slurping—of the ingenious marvels of mechanization employed by agri-business. While this remarkable documentary will likely engender fascination, awe and even shock amongst viewers, OUR DAILY BREAD simply aims to show the industrial production of food as a reflection of our society's values: plenty of everything, made as quickly and as efficiently as modern technology permits.
