What’s more important, looks or personality? Three women and three men got to know each other—in the dark—at the first presentation of “Notre Dating in the Dark” by the Gender Relations Center (GRC) at Legends earlier this semester. The program, a takeoff on ABC’s reality show “Dating in the Dark,” was intended to spark conversations about c ashore m att whether love is truly blind and to bring clarity about what students look for in friendships and dating. It’s all part of the GRC’s mission to encourage and facilitate dialogue among students about issues related to gender. The GRC engages students as FIRE Starters (Finding Identity, Relationships and Equality) to educate their peers on campus. Sophomore FIRE Starter Kelsie Kiley said, “We’re putting on this project to show students at Notre Dame if love is truly blind and if personality is the focal point of attraction or if it is based on physical appearance.” In “Notre Dating in the Dark,” the six blindfolded volunteers started with introductions. The women were given the opportunity to search through the men’s book bags, and the men rummaged through the women’s purses. During a brief intermission the audience witnessed a round of speed dating, with the contestants still bindfolded. At the end, participants chose the person they thought they’d be most compatible with. Since they were “in the dark,” looks were not factored into the decision. Then the couples met on stage and removed their blindfolds for the first time. Afterward, both participants and audience members had the opportunity for discussion. Sophomore contestant Janine Joly said, “It was weird. I’m not going to lie. It was the stages of a relationship in a confused order.” Another contestant, senior Chris Tulisiak, said, “I thought it was a struggle not being able to see the person when I was talking to them.” clothesline project Sophomore Manali Patel, an audience member, said, “While it was a bit awkward to watch at times, it did make Gender Relations Center awareness initiatives included a display of me wonder what I would be doing or saying if I was up there blindfolded.

Celebrating the freedom to read Chris Clark’s Second Life avatar, Hezekiah Dench, standing near the entrance to the Hesburgh Libraries’ maze, can walk, fly or teleport to a BY CAROL C. BRADLEY, NDWORKS virtual Stinson-Remick Hall.

Librarians J. Douglas Archer and J. Parker Ladwig will debate the freedom to read from the perspective of liberty vs. license as part of a Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture conference, “The Summons of Freedom: Virtue, Sacrifice, and the Common Good,” Nov. 12 to 14. Archer, whose work against censorship has included chair- ing the Intellectual Freedom Committee of the American Library Association, has created a display in the east end of Archer and Ladwig the Hesburgh Library concourse celebrating the freedom to read, in support of the American Library Association’s an- nual “Banned Books Week.” The display will be on view through mid-November. At the entrance to the periodicals room, associate librarian Collette Mak has created a display of books—including familiar works such as “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” “The Three Musketeers” and “The Satanic Verses”—that at one time were banned by religious or political authorities. Mak looks forward to being an active partner with the Notre Dame community in creating ongoing learning op- portunities utilizing library resources. Previous displays included books on eating disorders, geared toward the recent Snite Museum exhibition “Thin.” After displays on eating disorders and banned books, the next display will be more fun, she adds—books on Christmas. 6 | NDWorks | November 5, 2009

Sculptural Vessels Snite Museum of Art The work of Bill Mestrovic Gallery Nov. 1 to Dec. 20 C AROL C. BRADLEY KREMERBY CAROL C. BRADLEY PH otos by ERI C NISLY

His ceramic sculptures are dynamic and gestural, and reference the human form in both shape and scale. Recent work of 36-year art, art history, and design faculty member Bill Kremer will be on exhibit in the Snite Museum of Art’s Mestrovic Studio Gallery through Dec. 20. The sculptures—which are mold-cast, then altered and painted with brushstrokes of slip—are fired to 2,500 degrees in a 30-foot-long anagama (single chamber) wood-fired kiln on Kremer’s two-acre prop- erty in rural Cassopolis, Mich. The glaze is created by wood ash that covers the pieces in the process of firing. The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalog on Kremer’s work and working methods, written and photographed by Eric Nisly.
