PennDesign Students and the Face of Gaming in Philadelphia

That's the bad news.
The silver lining -- other than the promised wage tax cuts parlor profits will yield -- is that Penn Design students are getting involved in finding a slot solution for the city.

Contemporary Art and the Art of Curating, An Interactive Experience
The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), in conjunction with the History of Art and Cinema Studies departments at the University of Pennsylvania, is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition curated by students enrolled in a year-long undergraduate seminar: "Contemporary Art and the Art of Curating." The class focuses on curatorial studies in contemporary art. Throughout the year, ten selected students from art related majors visit various museums, galleries, private collections, and artist's studios around the country. Drawing on these experiences, the students are curating a show in ICA's project space and ramp. Entitled "Framing Exposure: Process and Politics," this exhibition questions the nature of how the term exposure is understood today.
