The Samuel Silipo Lecture Series at Wesleyan welcomes performance artist/ conceptualist/sculptor
Dennis Oppenheim on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. in the
CFA Cinema. Oppenheim, whose career spans 4 decades, has become
one of the leading figures in "public art", with large-scale works that fuse sculpture and architecture. In the late 1960s, many of his works used his body as the subject (see "Reading Position for Second Degree Burn", 1970, above) or larger installations that utilized wheat fields and snowy tracts of land. Later installations saw the artist working with puppets, building large "outdoor"sculptures, and more. Oppenheim will talk about how his work has developed and how his focus gas changed over the course of his career. The talk is free and open to the public. For more information, call 685-3355. To learn more about Oppenheim, take the time to wander through his website at
www.dennis-oppenheim.com.

Fat Tuesday", will be celebrated in Middletown at
