Form Over Football
By Eric Barton
Usually on nights of the big game, your TV choices consist of repeats and the over-shown — how many times can you really sing along to The Sound of Music? So if you're not into KU football — the school plays tonight in some big game in Miami, by the way — check out the work of two Kansas artists, Michael Almond and Lori Wright, at the Irene B. French Community Center (5701 Merriam Drive in Merriam, 913-322-5550). While your KU-alum friends are cheering for injured Hokies, you can peruse the foreboding work of Almond, whose deep drawings take their inspiration from his mother's unsuccessful battle with cancer. Then check out Wright's mixed-media works, which she describes on her Web site as having been inspired by "stereotypes, chores and body image." By the way, Wright went to K-State, and Almond is a Kansas City Art Institute grad, so you may escape the night without one reference to a first down.
