Friday, September 28, 2007

Alumnus Doug Levinson’s 75/25: Three Quarters of an MBA, One Quarter of the Grief! grew out of “Business For Lawyers, an original course he developed from the ground up, and now teaches at the UC Berkeley and USC Law Schools. It contains 13 short, stand-alone, information-packed chapters that parallel the basic curriculum of premier MBA programs.

Visual Arts Teacher Cheri Gaulke's Work Included in Evidence of Movement Exhibit at Getty
Monday, September 24, 2007

"There has been a recent interest in work from the 1970s, a decade in which I came of age as an artist," says Visual Arts Teacher Cheri Gaulke. "I have work from this era in an exhibition called Evidence of Movement, currently at the Getty Research Institute through Oct. 7."

The Getty website provides an explanation of this exhibit.

"My work is included in Close Radio, which was a weekly series of experimental radio broadcasts on Los Angeles station KPFK from 1976 to 1979," Gaulke continues. "I was living in Old Town Pasadena at the time when the area was occupied by artists and winos (that was before the term homeless even existed). It was long before The Gap and Tiffany's moved into the area. We had tons of beautiful sky-lit studio space and paid pennies for it (my rent was $35)."
