German photographer to give lecture in Hokin Auditorium
The Photography department of Columbia invites
you to attend its first “Lecture in Photography” presentation
of the fall 2001 semester.
The lecture will be presented on Thursday, Oct.
11 at 6:30 p.m. by photographer Vera Lutter in the Hokin Auditorium located
at 623 S. Wabash Ave.
Lutter was born in Germany and currently living
in New York. During the semester she will be an artist-in residence at
the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia. Admission is free.
Movie screening to be shown to Columbia
students
“A
Sign from Heaven,” a movie written and directed by Israeli artist
Ariela Azoulay, will be shown in Columbia’s Ferguson Theater, located
in Columbia’s main building on the first floor, on Monday, Oct. 1.
The movie examines three Israeli episodes of
violence: the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, Carmella Buhbut’s murder
of her abusive husband, and the killing of Palestinian weapons specialist
Yehiya Ayash, and how these situations were positioned by the media.
The movie explores how photography, language
and evidence used in the media can serve to justify, condemn, erase and
memorialize violent events.
The screening begins at 6 p.m. and admission
to the event is free.
Azoulay has written and directed another film,
called “The Angel of History.” She is also the author of “Death’s
Showcase,” “How Does it Look to You?” and “Training
for Art: Critic of Museal Economy.”
Azoulay has also been the curator and director
of the Museum of Israeli Art, Ramat Gan and Bograshov Alternative Space,
Tel-Aviv.
Campus safety and security
For the commencement of the new academic year the Department of Campus
Safety and Security has released a list of safety and security tips.
—Within campus facilities:
Never leave your belongings unattended.
Never leave an office or residential door unlocked,
even for a few minutes.
Be aware of the location of the emergency call
boxes, phones and exits on each floor throughout the campus buildings.
Study in open areas around people.
—While on the street:
Choose a well-lit path, free of construction and
debris as your rout to your destination.
Stay alert. Walk with confidence and purpose.
Travel with a friend to your destination, whenever
possible.
Have your keys or transportation money readily
available to avoid searching in your wallet or purse in public view.
Avoid wearing flashy jewelry or headphones.
Secure your wallet in a front pocket or your attire,
or hold your purse tightly against your body.
—At all times:
Minimize the amount of belongings you are carrying.
Avoid individuals exhibiting suspicious behavior
and report their activities to the lobby security officer or the police
department.
Always trust in your instincts.
