1. In this emotional painting, Kahlo depicts herself in Henry Ford Hospital lying on bed naked in blood, with blood vessels, organs, and a fetus extending from her body. This is a reflection of how Kahlo felt when she had a miscarriage. The pain and hopelessness are juxtaposed with the remote cityscape of Detroit, where she and her husband, artist Diego Rivera, have spent time.

An animation with pixelated effect that requires 3D viewing, a slideshow of female scientists throughout history, archival pigment prints made from a file produced with EASEL software—if for a second you're wondering whether you are in an art gallery or a science museum, then bingo, you got the gist of the exhibition Making/Breaking the Binary: Women, Art & Technology (1968-1985).

How would the Benjamin Franklin parkway celebrate its 100th birthday, you ask? Well, Jay-Z just performed at the annual Made In America Festival, but the Association of Public Art (aPA) and the Fung Collaboratives had another plan—commissioning a site-specific public art piece titled Fireflies on the occasion of the parkway’s centennial. The artist, Cai Guo-Qiang, is internationally acclaimed for his provocative and spectacular use of gunpowder and fireworks. Although these materials weren't used in Fireflies, the artist still hopes to spark the fireworks in the viewer's heart. Running till October 8, Thursdays through Sundays from 6 to 10 p.m., Fireflies will light up the grand boulevard with over 900 illuminated lanterns in various colors and shapes, held aloft by 27 customized, moving pedicabs.

In this series, we have discussed art galleries, auction houses and art fairs—and it seems that the art world is all about money. While this is certainly true in some sense, there is still space for the nonprofits. You might have wondered how emerging artists actually work as artists or where they would showcase their works if they are not represented by a commercial gallery. Don't worry; we've got you covered.

So far in this series you’ve learned about galleries and auction houses. But that doesn’t complete the whole picture of the commercial art world yet. Art fairs are another big part of the industry. You might have heard of the endless parties happening on Miami Beach every December, but you’re not sure who organizes them, who goes there, or what they're for. Don't worry, we've got you covered.

Your ultimate go–to ice cream on a diet, Halo Top produces low–calorie, low–sugar and high–protein ice cream—with all–natural ingredients. Inside one pint of the Lemon Cake flavor, there are only 240 calories, 6g fat and 16g sugar, all of which are about a fourth of the amount in Ben & Jerry’s. However, the lack of sugar does not correspond to a lack in taste. Halo Top uses organic stevia as a sugar replacement and an all–natural sweetener called Erythritol. The ice cream maintains its creaminess but is a bit lighter than your typical pint. The 17 flavors range from traditional choices like strawberry and mint chip, to more unique options like pistachio and black cherry. They don't disappoint, but can have a slight chalky texture if consumed straight from the freezer. Street advises that you let it sit out for a few minutes before diving into in this guilt–free treat.

It's the fourth time that you hear yourself saying you want to "escape from the Penn bubble" and "explore the city," but then you get back to work or job search. From now till May 22, a new exhibition at The Barnes Foundation titled Person of the Crowd: The Contemporary Art of Flânerie might inspire you to follow through. The exhibit will lead you to appreciate the magic of wandering, take a fresh perspective at the urban landscape and find a critical, even poetic, approach to daily routines.

You see them at networking receptions, devising drink orders from customers' shouts like an improv actor taking cues from an audience. You see them at celebration events, jamming with party–goers like a DJ dancing to his rhythms. You see them at gallery openings, mixing layered shots like an artist blending paint on a palette. They are the bartenders from Penn Student Agencies (PSA), and they know that a "Cranberry Vodka" is really called a "Cape Codder."
