A roundup of ideas and projects from around the Institute

  • Professor of Writing Christian Hawkey interviewed Fady Joudah for BOMB magazine about his new book of poems, essays, and photographs of Gaza, Exhibit G. Exhibit G is a finalist for the 2026 National Book Award in Poetry.

  • Nate Bozeman, ceramics technician for fine arts, weighed in on the implications of a specialty sculpting plaster being discontinued for The New York Times. “Artists and smaller studios depend on materials that are also used by much larger industries, so changes in supply can have a significant impact,” he said. “Finding an alternative isn’t always straightforward, as different plasters behave differently and need to be tested.”

  • Visiting Associate Professor of Fine Arts Alex Strada was interviewed for WNYC’s All Of It with Alison Stewart about her project Public Address and her artist residency with the NYC Department of Homeless Services and the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs. “Thank you to Alison and her team for giving time and space to discuss Public Address and the profound housing inequities in our city, and to highlight the many, many people who have shaped the project—above all, the residents and frontline staff in @nycdhs shelters,” wrote Strada on Instagram. 

  • Visiting Assistant Professor in the School of Information Michael Opper attended the 16th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Applied Linguistics and Professional Practice (ALAPP) on September 27, where he presented his work titled “Evaluating consumer finance chatbot response design through the cooperation principle.” This work is part of his ongoing research project that adapts elements of discourse analysis to rate responses to be used in conversation design. Students Anisha Vonna, MSIXD ’27, and Kshitija Tammireddi, MSIXD ’27, joined this project earlier this summer and have regularly contributed judgments, redefined guidelines, and recalibrated scoring metrics.

  • Alumnus Salman Toor, MFA Fine Arts ’09, and honorary degree recipients Sarah Lewis and Jenny Holzer were named among the “100 most influential people shaping the future of art” by Time magazine. “They come from all kinds of backgrounds; they are painters, photographers, sculptors, and other artists; they are curators, lawyers, philanthropists, museum leaders, and others who bring this work to the world. These innovators are charting new paths and offering new ways of seeing.”
