无标题文档Intensely physical and mentally challenging, the works of Robert Ebendorf defy categorization and put the status quo repeatedly to the test. Studying his traveling 40-year retrospective, "The Jewelry of Robert Ebendorf," one marvels howthis self-proclaimed "dumpsterdiver" can pull off a necklace featuring a jawbone studded with pearls or a chair made with a Stanley power-lock ruler. The answer comes slowly yet assuredly. By giving the same attention to refuse as he does to cheap pendants materials, Ebendorf succeeds in coaxing bits of consumer items into works of fantastic artistry with the magnetism and skill of a snake charmer. As Ebendorf explains, "I'd rather have someone say, 'This is ugly,' in assessing a piece than quickly pass it by with an 'It's nice' acknowledgement."Organized by the Gallery of Art & Design at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, where it opened in January 2003, the exhibition includes 95 examples of jewelry, sculpture, drawings, sketches, photographs, working cheap rings and even a re-creation of Ebendorf's desk and work area.* The rich variety brings the artist and his protean career to life and underscores the cross-fertilization of cheap tiffany fueling his imagination and artistic expression. From the traditional metal-smithing of his silver tea infusers, to the Portable Soul series, the Colored Smoke Machine brooches, the ColorCore objects, the Cross Reference necklaces and the recent jewelry using coins and animal parts, the comprehensive exhibition and companion catalog trace his development with lucid silver bracelets and endearing warmth.To make sense of Ebendorf s evolution, co-curators Ruth T. Summers and Bruce W. Pepich created four chronological sections. This helps to contextualize his experiments within the international history of post-World War II jewelry and allows several key themes and characteristics to emerge: a restless curiosity, an exploration of nontraditional materials, a playful irreverence, a sense of movement, a flair for spectacle, an interest in religion and a fondness for collaborating.

无标题文档Fab Labs aren't without their challenges. For starters, they require experts of some sort to help out, and in many communities such experts simply aren't available. At Vigyan Ashram, for example, work on the milk sensors and diesel-engine timers ground to a halt after the supervising engineer left during the restructuring of another MIT program in India. For these reasons, the cheap pendants successful projects may be those that don't require complex computer-design work. Size is another problem. Currently, the tools in the Fab Labs can't make anything larger than themselves--more than a square meter or so. Gershenfeld is trying to develop robotic laser cutters that could drive themselves over large surfaces, creating things like big solar panels. Even if Fab Labs cheap rings likely to have the range of mainstream manufacturers, however, they may give some poor communities a way to start businesses and raise living standards.Gershenfeld and his MIT colleagues kitted out the Ashram with a 3- D milling ma--chine, an industrial tool for making machine parts and a cheap tiffany hooked up to a PC. Local engineering students then helped them design circuit boards to be used in groundwater-locating machines, made on-site. The products not only helped the farmers, but have led to a new business. "We've sold more than 60 of silver bracelets machines, and we're fully booked to carry out groundwater tests in the area for the next six months," says Yogesh Gulkarni, executive director of Vigyan Ashram. In Ghana, students designed a machine to pound cassava and plantain into fufu, a local dish.The big question now is who will fund the growth. So far, Gershenfeld has been paying for Fab Lab deployment with his NSF grant.

无标题文档For those who have always endorsed the (consoling) maxim that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Elizabeth Hurley's fans might like a word. The British bombshell is not just a pretty face-she's a very pretty face. In the 2001 BBC miniseries tiffanys Human Face, Hurley is exalted as the ultimate picture of anatomical perfection (when mapped on a grid, her features are nearly identical to the public's perceived ideal of beauty). Her striking physique has, indeed, proved to be a lucrative asset: she's been the spokeswoman for tiffany bangles Lauder for more than a decade and has also been very active in the company's humanitarian initiatives as an advocate for breast-cancer research. In fact, here and on our cover this issue, she is sporting Holt Renfrew Private Brand's pink cashmere sweater, $98, an item with all of its proceeds going to breast-cancer research.Of Hurley's journey leading the campaign, she remarks: "I've been raising funds and awareness for breast cancer for the past 11 years-ever since tiffany rings Estée Lauder and becoming involved with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. I love the idea of raising funds in a fun and glamorous way, so selling this tiffany bracelets pink cashmere sweater for the cause is perfect." Her opinion of people in the public eye helping the world at large coincides with her own devotion to change: "Celebrities can make a real difference when they work for charity, and I feel very strongly about helping as much as I can.Seamlessly integrating the lighting also posed a challenge. The jewelry cases are illuminated by nearly 200 running feet of fiber optics from two alternating sources. One metal halide source "casts a brilliance on the gems to give them depth." Arnell says, while a yellower source brings out "more of the sparkle."
