Because Chuck Dillon’s art student pictures totally scream “Berkeley!” to us. Maybe it’s just that liberal, let-it-all-hang-out, admit-the-geeks attitude.
We find the following students most Berkeleyesque:
- Stressed Student
- Student 1.0
- Environmental Hippy Student
- Average/Good Student
Though we’re sure you could make an argument for the entire collection, considering that we do have an art practice major. Also the sheer fact that we have, oh, 30,000+ students.

If you’ve never experienced the joy of a Taschen book, now Pegasus Books is giving you the chance. The bookstore will continue its 50-75 percent off Taschen sale until May 5.
The “luscious” Taschen books make for great coffee table decor, though that doesn’t mean that they’re not informative (they are! and pretty!). They tend to cover topics like art, film, architecture, history, film, photography, pop culture and fashion–just to name a few.
Here’s hoping that the store has “The Big Penis Book” in stock!
Where: Pegasus Books at Shattuck and Durant avenues
When: until May 5
Cost: cheaper than normal

While the economy goes all to hell one multinational Wall Street banking Goliath at a time, libraries are still lending things out for free. The Graphic Arts Loan Collection that the Clog reported about earlier this summer is now up and running at ye old Morrison Library, making Berkeley one of the few brave universities across the nation — alongside MIT and Oberlin — that’s made the decision to condemn works of fine art to potential vandalization by lending pieces out to its general student populace. Except not, because Berkeley students are fine, upstanding citizens! Also each piece is valued at 600 dollars or less. Yes, even the brand names.
If free framed art sounds cool enough to lure you and your trendily destitute ways away from the ultra popular Rasterbator, you can peruse the selection of over 700 prints at your leisure here. A sampling of the more interesting ones under the jump: read more »
Well, not really. So the Contra Costa Times reports that Morrison library will revive the Graphic Arts Loan Collection circulation program for the fall semester, a classy name for a collection that will let students check out signed copies of original works of art for all the glory of being used as dorm posters.
Sounds crazy, huh? Crazy awesome, maybe. Forget that life-sized poster of Samuel L. Jackson you see every time you wake up–now you can say good morning to the impossibilities of Escher, or the landscapes of Rembrandt or the … doodles of Miro. read more »
After discovering the latest omen of the world’s coming demise, the Clog encourages Berkeley students to put down their books and enjoy their short-lived time on earth.
You know your art project succeeds when your school’s paper picks up the story, then Drudge Report features it and now a school across the country takes notice.
The Paper Trail reports that Yale art major Aliza Shvarts decided to artificially inseminate herself multiple times while inducing miscarriages throughout a nine-month period. Yes, you read that correctly. But that’s not the end of the story.
No, she didn’t get the semen from the football team. No, she’s not collecting her … uhh … media in Tupperware. The twist? It’s performance art fiddling with public reaction. We don’t think it ever happened, save for the thought coming from Shvarts’ brain and the words from her mouth.
