Rethinking Tattoos

By Michelle Manchir · Wednesday, Jan. 17,2007 11 p.m.

I'd never given body art much thought. It seemed like a dangerous, rigid culture, in which I -- a Catholic-schooled, perpetually optimistic small-town girl -- had no place. As a little girl, when media formed my opinions on essentially everything, I took in the large, inked convicts I saw on "Cops" with wonder and fear. Later, with years of life experience and a media-literate mind, I viewed the "tatted" as interesting, artsy folk with whom I had little in common.

About face

By Rachel Skybetter · Monday, Jan. 15,2007 9:36 p.m.

Linda Pisano has powdered the nose of Satan himself. In 2005, Pisano, head of costume and design of IU's Department of Theatre and Drama, designed the costumes for a production of Christopher Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus." She transformed the already 6-foot-4 actor playing the devil into a 7-foot-tall bruised corpse with bat-like wings that spanned 12 feet.

The IU Contemporary Dance Program hosted "Grow/Move/Change," its fall concert, last Thursday and Friday. As promised, it showed the audience an eclectic evening of dance.

The art of genitalia: How gender makes you an artist

By Ryan Brown · Monday, Jan. 15,2007 9:28 p.m.

In her article "Unfathomable, repellent, delightful" in The Guardian, Iwona Blazwick argues that despite controversy, awards in the arts should be divided into categories distinctly for men and women. She argues that despite its potential sexist and segregating aftereffect, it is necessary in arts competition to divide men and women due to extreme differences in style and the impact feminist art has had on the art world.

By Chelsea J. Carter · Thursday, Jan. 11,2007 12:50 a.m.

BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- Lori Richardson perused the book shelves, picking up one book for consideration and then another. At first glance, there was little that appeared to tie the widely varying authors and genres together. But a closer inspection revealed shelf tags and signs promoting local book club selections.
