When visitors enter the Portland Museum of Art for the next two and a half months, the first image that will greet them is "Transom," an installation piece by Bowdoin professor Mark Wethli. This is part of the 2003 Portland Museum of Art Biennial, an exhibition that showcases the work of Maine's best emerging and established contemporary artists. [read the article]

Angry guys get funny
MONICA GUZMAN, COLUMNIST
There's something about Jack Nicholson's face that makes one think of all that is psychotic and strange. From films such as The Shining and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next to As Good As It Gets, the man is known for playing guys with serious mental issues. And he's damn good at it too.

Drugs, date rape, and some great acting
MACAELA FLANAGAN, STAFF WRITER
Lights up. Enter Vince: dancing and singing to Steve Miller Band's "Swingtown," chugging beer (literally), and hanging around a Motel 6 room in his underwear. I thought I was in store for a comedy. Instead, Tape proves to be a dark journey down memory lane for three former high school friends. [read the article]

In the heart of Wish Theater
HANNAH DEAN, STAFF WRITER
Place: a motel room, a military camp in Saudi Arabia, another room, the Iraqi desert. Time: Future, past, and, most importantly, present. In the Heart of America, by Naomi Wallace, is a play that may be set in certain times and at certain places, but its messages and themes stretch across the barriers of both.

KERRY ELSON, COLUMNIST
Just imagine what would happen if Aunt Voula, that lamb-loving Grecian of the solemn, Oscar-worthy indie hit, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, were to enter Little Lad's Bakery and Café, the Maine chain's latest offspring on Mill Street. [read the article]

Can we define "Indie Rock?"
SEAN TURLEY, COLUMNIST
So, I spent part of break with my former radio co-host DJ punkster Sarah Moran '03 in New York. After a couple days, when the novelty of a visitor started to fade, she invited her Brearly friends over for some chitchat. Needless to say, I was absolutely enthralled by the situation and started up a little conversation with her leather clad friend, Lucy. [read the article]

From top to bottom: a group of students/models took their poses on the catwalk Saturday night. Crowds cheered as their strutted their stuff in this season's hottest clothing. From South Asian garments to Korean traditional dress, the fashion show embraced international styles as well as modern haute couture (top). Costumes made out of beer boxes were applauded by Sustainable Bowdoin for a creative way to reuse cardboard (middle). The crows was also entertained by various feats of strength, some involving the lifting of models by other, stronger models (bottom). (Hans Law, Bowdoin Orient)
