2nd Annual Alumni Outing at the Ballpark
We had a great time at the baseball game on Friday, June 17, with a number of Oberlin Alumni, Friends and Family joining us. The Indians won against Pittsburgh with an exciting double-play at the end. The fireworks after the game were spectacular (and yes, I heard more than a few Obies singing along to the 80s music!).
Already looking forward to next year - hope you can join us!

Oberlin Faculty featured at MoCA Cleveland
A new exhibit at MoCA Cleveland has just opened, entitled Delicious Fields : Ohio Photographers at Work, and features work by Pipo Nguyen-Duy, Professor of Studio Art, Photography at Oberlin College. Professor Nguyen-Duy's biography is here. The exhibition runs through August 21, 2011.
From MoCA Cleveland's website, "Rolling farmlands, looming factories, majestic matter-of-factness - these descriptions apply to Ohio as a cultural and geographic site distinct from other regions of the United States. But what can that mean for photographers working in our midst? "Delicious Fields" derives from "Champs Delicieux," a portfolio of photograms created by Man Ray and published by Tristan Tzara in Paris in 1922. As an avant-garde publication heralding the beginning of photographic surrealism in Paris, the images in Champs Delicieux represented revolution in their own time and are reprised in experimental contemporary photography. Man Ray's images, created by placing everyday objects onto a sheet of photographic paper exposed to light, offered a scrambling of reality. Just so, the nine Ohio photographers exhibited here overlay personal narrative on the Ohio landscape, or conversely, subject this and other topography to overt manipulation and examination. What results is a selection of photographic work imbued with the spirit of the enigmatic, as descended from its French forbearers."
More details on the exhibition can be found here.
