...Hough? Why now? The world, after all, is full of keyboard athletes, though few can match this one when it comes to the flair and sheer finger power on display in his latest album, a head-spinningly fizzy two-CD set of the ever-so-French music of Camille Saint-Saens, composer of Carnival of the Animals (Hyperion). But Stephen Hough is not your ordinary piano man. Uninterested in going the safe star-soloist route, he revels in playing the music he loves best in smaller cities and with regional orchestras. Yes, that includes Saint-Saens, Rachmaninoff...
...here) priced at $30 for 30 min. of talk time. To keep costs down, the device (about the size of a deck of cards) contains only a quarter of the components found in a typical cell phone. It doesn't take incoming calls, and there's no keypad or display. Instead, users plug in an earpiece (included) and speak the number aloud; voice-recognition technology converts the sounds into digits and places the call. To activate the phone, users simply push the green call button. Color-coded lights indicate when the 30 min. of prepaid talk time is running...

The asymmetrical geometric arrangement of the bags and objects lends a peculiar charm to the display, and the sparseness of the room brings out with astonishing vividness the hues and shapes of the objects?...

Apparently STASH originated from general “frustration with the inability to gather high-quality student art from a wide range of artists and display it well.” The difficulty of putting together a student show is undoubtedly what triggers the consensus from numerous STASH participants that visual arts are generally underrepresented on campus, whether this is because the performing arts are simply more dominant, or whether this is due to the nature...
...negative foundations of STASH eventually prove themselves wrong, for the exhibit demonstrates marvelously the many multi-faceted possibilities of student-organized art. Student work at Harvard is a goldmine with ores of untapped talents and unfulfilled potential; with more publicity, more participation, more prominent places to display, it should take on a much larger role on campus. If STASH is any indication, art is not just for the elite or the “artsy”; rather, it is accessible to everyone who has the vaguest desire either to experience it as a viewer or as a contributor...
