Magic Eye: Nothing's wrong with nepotism

There is something devoid of journalistic integrity about tootin one's own horns. Still, if one acknowledges the fact that the horns they toot are in fact their own, then, the case must, on some occasions, be considered under a different light. And, just because Terrell Quimby came alive in the pages of Street for like two years does not mean you should take our word for his coolness. Seriously, don't. You don't even have to trust his creator, Nathan Schreiber, College '03, who also thinks the exhibit is kind of rockin', probably. Trust the College Media Advisers, who named T.Q. the best college comic of 2001. Nathan Schreiber wants you to come to the closing. "There's gonna be popcorn and kool-aid," he says. "A lot of my friends will come down, and it will be really great." Perhaps coolest of all, or almost coolest (because nothing is kooler than kool-aid) is the station at which you will be able to make paper sailboat hats, which you can proceed to wear throughout the show. That's wearable art for you. And, for those of you who have trouble not parting with your money (yes, children who frequent Smith Brothers, we mean you) Schreiber is planning on selling bound copies of his comic for less than twenty dollars. Killer. If you become addicted to seeing the progeny of Penn's art at the Fox, than don't worry, there's more. Jacques-Jean Tiziou, College '02 figured out how to live the good, artistic life: get the University of Pennsylvania to pay for you to go to the most absolutely remote place in the world, move into a yurt, stuff yourself with yak butter, spend the summer taking photographs of people who really live in yurts, and of yaks. Then return to Philadelphia and let that aforementioned University put said photographs on display in their very own art display space. It's just one way to live the good life, but it's a pretty good way. And the cool thing about Mongolia is it is really different, unlike Italy, which is only sort of different, and is full of American study abroad kids anyway. In Mongolia your friends give you goats for going away presents, not tomato sauce or kiwis. So go to this exhibit and see what a real foreign country is like, cause we're not in Florence anymore, Dorothy. And best of all, Tiziou was photo-editor of the 116th board of the Daily Pennsylvanian, so if you want to accuse us of incest, well, go on. Be our guest.
