Do not adjust your computer screen Two museum visitors stand in front of an intentionally out of focus Uta Barth image currently on display at the Henry Art Gallery. The exhibit, “Uta Barth: In Between Places,” surveys the artist’s photographic works, which explore the intrigue of incidental objects and everyday surroundings. Exhibit curator Sheryl Conkelton says Barth’s work is “about not paying attention, about letting small events capture your attention.” The exhibit will be on display until Jan.21.

Fall is in the Air Leaves scatter on the bricks below a tree near Allen Library recently. Cooler temperatures in Seattle have caused many of the trees on campus to lose their leaves during the past several weeks. Photo by Mary Levin PHOTO: ML20000885_10 |

Campus haunts
One of my favorite places on campus is down at the water’s edge near the Montlake bridge. I discovered this area when I was training for a Mt. Rainier summit attempt a couple of years ago (we got turned back by high winds at 10,000 ft). I would climb up and down the 89 stairs next to the bridge a dozen times on the way to or from work. Now, though I am no longer in training, I generally do 2 “laps” on the stairs on my way to work. But sometimes I stop and sit on a bench (my favorite is on the south side of the cut next to the bridge) and drink in the atmosphere - it’s tranquil and has a very nice view to the east; sometimes a crew shell glides by. After a few moments I’m more ready to start my day. Dan Tomandl

This poster designed by graduate student Boaz Ashkenazy features the downtown sculpture Hammering Man, by Jonathan Borofsky, an example of the kind of art the new program will prepare students for. |
These images show how treatment can reduce plaque buildup in a narrowed artery. The top image shows a narrowed artery before treatment. The bottom image shows the same area two and a half years after treatment began. Depletion of the cholesterol deposit has shrunk the plaque and thus reduced the amount of narrowing.
