Toilet 'art' causes neighborhood conflict

By Alyson Brodsy and Pat Milton · Monday, Aug. 29,2005 12:55 a.m.

CENTRE ISLAND, N. Y. - It started with two neighbors talking trash, and spread from there into "Bogey" Seaman's front yard. White toilet seats hang from trees, amid a porcelain garden of junked commodes, urinals and sinks. Nearby sits a discarded refrigerator, tastelessly decorated with a clown's head, totally incongruous in this extraordinarily affluent village.

Buskirk-Chumley shows Ryder films

By Jordan Majewski · Monday, Aug. 29,2005 12:52 a.m.

For those who've grown tired of the usual summer film fare of Hollywood blockbusters that often place special effects over a quality plot, the Buskirk-Chumley Theater is featuring a summer movie series that might be of interest. In conjunction with the Ryder Films, the Buskirk-Chumley Theater is screening critically-acclaimed films that didn't make the standard run at Kerasotes-owned theaters. Buskirk-Chumley Director Danielle McClelland said she believes the series plays an important role in expanding the cinematic palate of Bloomington moviegoers.

Barenboim and Beethoven, not bombs

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Aug. 25,2005 12:57 a.m.

RAMALLAH, West Bank -- Conductor Daniel Barenboim brought together Israeli and Arab musicians for a concert that was as much about communication as it was about Beethoven and Mozart. Though Barenboim has often appeared in Ramallah, Sunday was the first time that his orchestra, whose 100 musicians come from Israel, Palestinian territories, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan, has performed here.

Break out and stop the show

By Patrice Worthy · Thursday, Aug. 25,2005 12:56 a.m.

Ah yes, another semester is about to begin, and IU has so much to brag about. Not only did we receive the title of "Hottest Big State School" by Newsweek, but we also received the No. 4 most fashionable school in the Women's Wear Daily Big Ten ranking. This is quite an accomplishment considering the first time IU was featured in the magazine, we received honorable mention. Making the top five sounds good to me, especially when you consider what we were up against.

New Iraqi version of 'Cops' comes to Kirkuk television

By Alyson Brodsy and Tini Tran · Wednesday, Aug. 24,2005 1:05 a.m.

KIRKUK, Iraq -- Shattered glass, body parts, a blood-splattered blue sedan: the grainy video pans over the scene as Iraqi officers comb the site of a drive-by assassination. It's "Cops" Iraqi-style, minus the "Bad Boys" soundtrack but otherwise roughly modeled after the American TV show.

By Josh Kastrinsky · Wednesday, Aug. 24,2005 1:03 a.m.

The 2005-2006 IU Auditorium season will feature comedy for the college crowd, steamy musicals for adults, and family-oriented shows for the kids. Big bands and one-man shows highlight the eclectic upcoming season, which will run from September to April. "You can tell that students are back in town," IU Auditorium Director Doug Booher said. "It's not just the cars on the street; ticket sales are reflecting that (too)."

Chicago hosts variety of free festivals

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Aug. 8,2005 4:01 a.m.

CHICAGO -- In this city known for its buildings, locals know the best place to be in the summer is outside. From an air and water show expected to draw 2 million people to Lake Michigan's shores later this month to music festivals and movies in a downtown park, dozens of free outdoor events are Chicagoans' reward after months of being cooped up.

Video games attract composers

By Ryan Pearson · Monday, Aug. 8,2005 4 a.m.

LOS ANGELES -- Violinists playing sweetly beneath her, the video game heroine Lara Croft has two guns blazing and the full attention of 10,000 people at the Hollywood Bowl. The animated star of "Tomb Raider" games, which have collectively sold more than 30 million copies, unflinchingly braves explosions on a giant TV screen that hangs, incongruously, above the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra.

Artwork formed by geology, human hands displayed

By Adam Sedia · Wednesday, Aug. 3,2005 9:19 p.m.

The word "artwork" normally does not conjure up images of rocks and fossils, but one of Bloomington's galleries does exactly that: it transforms rocks, crystals and fossils into marketable works of art.
