Make it real Make it el Greco At the Metropolitan Museum of Art: "El Greco "October 7, 2003–January 11, 2004 "Special Exhibition Galleries, 2nd floor "This major retrospective exhibition will consist of approximately 70 works by the great 16th-century painter Domenikos Theotokopoulos, known to posterity as El Greco. The works span the whole of his career, from his origins as a painter of icons in his native Crete to his work in Venice and Rome and his definitive move to Toledo, Spain. There will be sections devoted to his depiction of saints, a selection of his large-scale altarpieces, a representation of his work as a sculptor, his rare excursions into mythological themes, and an extraordinary selection of his psychologically intense portraits, so greatly admired by Velázquez. Accompanied by a catalogue. "The exhibition is funded by the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation in celebration of its 25th Anniversary. The exhibition has been organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the National Gallery, London. An indemnity has been granted by the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities."

Make your own world better Make your own theories How many of your poems start to resemble your friends' poems? Have you found a descriptive way to discuss your poems that begins to get at what's different about your poetry? Do you have a structured way of talking about your friends' poems? Have you figured out a way to talk about your friends' poetry without using perjoratives? Do your friends say that your criticism deals in historical terms or is so specific to certain schemas that it's no help to them at all? Do friends describe your poems as "workshop poems" or "swingset poems"? Is your narrative confined to the landscape of domestic poetry? Is the persona in your work like the swain of the rustic poem who is set against the reader's urbanity? Do your poems reach toward the symbolism of the backyard and speak to greater desires on the part of the protagonist? Does your persona avoid mentioning its own desires and expect the poem to manifest them, instead? Can you love the "thing" without desiring it? Do your poems put out?

Michael Fey, of Duisburg, built a computer interface into the machine to let it run an automatic brewing program." Make Your Own (part 2) "Here's a challenge for you: Using only what you can find lying around your house, put together an experiment to test a question in science that's never been answered. That's essentially the challenge faced by some scientists who want their research done onboard the International Space Station (ISS). With the shuttle fleet grounded and space limited on Russian rockets, it's not easy to send their equipment to orbit. What can they do? Improvise. Astronauts onboard the station are adaptable, natural experimenters, and they don't always need fancy equipment to do science. So researchers have dreamed up some clever ways to use what's already on hand aboard the station: maintenance tools, food supplies, hygiene items, cameras ... and, of course, weightlessness." Make Your Own How many times have you been to the High or the Hirschorn or the Whitney and thought, "I could do that?" Well, you can! Just reserve a wall of your home for your own creation then raid your kids' art supplies and get to work! It's not as weird as you think! Most of the art you find at flea markets was made by gentlepeople with no ambitions toward high art but plenty of ambition for ornamentation! All it takes is a love of color! Or a love of texture! Look at Cornell's boxes or Salle's collages! Granted, you won't put Jenny out of business, but you will at least learn a bit by mounting and framing your own works! It's the American Way! Invite your neighbors over to paint your garage door! Wine and cheese then paint your ceiling! Maybe that's what Goya (or someone) did with those grotty frescoes! Try for a state grant! Hang with the pros when they chalk up a sidewalk and ask for pointers! Pester the folks at the mall or at booths on the boardwalk!
