udith Brown's living room looks like a museum. It serves as a gallery for her sculpture; the steel objects mounted on pedestals are illuminated by the track-lighting in her West Village loft. The room is serene. It is spacious and modern, Jyet the black grand piano in the corner contributes a touch of the traditional. Brown is a delicate woman with intense eyes and uni- quely large hands. The work of those hands is now being exhibited on the Robert Moses Plaza at CLC. Born in New York on December 17, 1931, she attended Sarah Lawrence College from 1952-4. Here she began sculpting, study- ing under the late Theodore Roszak. It was during this time she realized that metal was her medium. "I find it sympathetic to my nature," says Brown, "and I have become quite skillful with it. With steel you can take away or add. The act of assembling is very pleasurable for me." A common question asked is why scrap metal? "My materials, crumpled steel automobile remnants, have an energy and power of their own," she explains. "In them I see a myriad of possibilities, The life of the artist is not one of inspired ease. releasing figures and flowing forms." Many of these scraps are stored in her studio, which is adjacent to the gallery, where much of her work is executed. During the winter, Brown resides in N.Y., but each summer she retreats to Reading, Vermont, where she has vacationed for the past 30 years. In 1966 she moved there and built a studio, but four years ago she decided to move back to N.Y. "Being a New Yorker is like Judith Brown and her "Pharoah" Photo By Hope Manzi having a wonderful disease," Brown observes. "If you're a native New Yorker, you can never get it out of your system." She likes the "edge" N.Y. gives because it keeps her active in her art. She feels it is important for an artist to keep in touch with what is going on in all of the arts, because learning encourages growth.

According to Artist-in-Residence and Chairper- son for Exhibits and Acquisitions, Dr. Vivienne Thaul Wechter, the sculptures are made of "con- temporary materials: steel that is found in remains of cars, junk steel sheets which she hammers, rivets, works, and twists into beautiful, sensuous forms."

TAKE A DAY OFF FROM SMOKING 'Das Boot Admission Free NOVEMBER 17,1983 jte Time: 12,2,4,6,8:45 pm November 16, 19831 The Observer/page 15 Vietnam Through A Journalist's Eve By Donica O'BradovicO'Bradovich *~^ %J Boat People, Ann Hui's film about survival in Da Nang, Vietnam in 1978 three years after the war has ended, is absolutely harrowing. Hui thrusts the viewer into the harshness and doesn't allow us to take our eyes away from the violence and action. When the film was shown this past September at the New York Film Festival, the audience was moved and repulsed by the film. The audience also found out that the film was shot in China with the full cooperation of the Chinese government. Now the film has been selected as the Hong Kong entry for the Best Foreign Film Academy Award. 'Controversial' has been the best work to describe the film because it has generated much due to its political and graphic nature. But Boat People has an interesting construction in that the action is seen through the eyes of a Japanese photo- journalist Akutagawa (Lam) who has come to report on the progress of the government's efforts to reconstruct the country. The photographer is very carefully scrutinized by the authorities and he is shown only what they want him to see, such as a group of happy school children who sing about their love for their country and he is amazed that hey are so well-adjusted. Akutagawa is, at first, simply an objective jour- nalist out to do a job as we see in the film's open- ing sequence. This opening is a bit misleading because it resembles a documentary as we see him Tantically taking pictures of soldiers roaming hrough the streets. Hui's camera technique is also very shaky, like in a documentary, and we almost feel that a nar- rator's voice is going to begin. But the rest of the film does not contain this technique and so we wonder perhpas the reason for this type of open- ing because it is a fictional narrative. Akutagawa does his job the way a journalist should, objectively, such as when he takes pictures of two men falling from a burning building. This little girl is more important than holding his night. does not fa2e him", but the authorities tell him not scenes rather than with the acting, which works, camera.

The Nets finished an impressive third place with a 49-33 record. However, their hot season was overshadowed by the playoff loss to the Knicks. The key for the Knicks will be their defense. Spearheaded by coach Hubie Brown's pressing defense, the Knicks were first in team defense last year yielding only 97.5 points per game. With most of last seasons regulars coming back and with new additions like speedy Darrell Walker and Rudy Macklin, their defense will only be strengthened. Their big question marks are Bill Cartwright and the power forward position. Can Cartwright cope with the physical punishment dealth out by the top centers in the league? Can Len "Truck" Robinson pull down enough rebounds? These two men must have productive years for the Knicks since their backups, Marvin Webster and Len Elmore, are lacking in the talent department. The strong spots on the team are at small for- ward, guard and coach. Bernard King is one the best small forwards in the league. Averaging 21.9 ppg last year, King proved he can carry this team by himself. His reserve, Louis Orr, is very effec- tive when given the opportunity and fits into Hubie's system perfectly. Guards Rory Sparrow and Ray Williams are the type of players Brown has always longed for. It is no coincidence that after the Knicks obtained Spar- row, they started winning. Williams is an excellent shooting guard and an underrated defensive player. In Hubie's trapping defense, he and Sparrow should excel. At reserve guard, Ernie Grunfeld and Trent Tucker will see many minutes and contribute greatly to the team. Coach Hubie Brown has turned this team around in just one year. Along with Dave DeBusschere, he has traded for players who fit into his system. Brown, the league's premiere coach, has given the Garden fans something to cheer about. The Knicks should finish in third place and win a round or two in the playoffs, but if Truck and Mr. Bill can not handle the 76'ers, and if the Knicks do with not trade for some bulk upfront, they will be play- ing golf by May. The Nets have a good club, but they must ad- mneefever sttrs just to coach Stan Albcck's new fast-breaksysteem . In this system, the pivotal positions are center and guard, the two spots at which the Nets are suspect. Center Darryl Dawkins must have a good year for the Nets to win. He has the problems of poor Seven&Seven shot selection and fouling out (23 out of 81 last season.) In addition, he pulled down only 420 re- bounds; which, for a man his size, is pitiful. Reserve Mike Gminski is effective but for only short periods of time. <• • • With Buck Williams, second in rebounding last year, and Albert King, who grabbed more re- bounds than Dawkins, the Nets are very strong at the forward position.
