Robert Irwin, internationally
famous environmental and in

door Sculpture show the fol
lowing day where approxi
mately 60* students and art
lovers toured the recent, yet
temporary, additions to the
campus landscape.
Students and community
had a chance to catch the
view of many artworks by
24 artists, including CCC
faculty Rick True, Dave
Anderson
and
Nora
Brodnicki.
The outdoor show features
large sculptures in a variety
of mediums set up on the
CCC campus. The show
started April 7 and will run
until June 7.
Irwin has exhibited widely
in galleries and museums in
North America and abroad.
In 1993 the Museum of Con
temporary Art in Los Ange
les initiated a major retro
spective of his work, which
then traveled to Paris,
Madrid
and
Cologne.
Among his many projects,
the most recent is the monu
mental garden he designed
for the Getty Center in Los An
geles, which opened in 1997.
Irwin currently works in San
Diego.
The underlying theme of the
walkabout was that all art is
open to interpretation of the
viewer, and that the artists
themselves cannot tell you
what to think.
Clackamas’ own Andersen,
the artist responsible for the
tombstones at the ends of the
concrete paths strewn about
the
campus.
A
piece
entitled,“The End of the
Trails,” took to the spring
weather along with the other
artists in order to give the
public a better understanding
of his art's meaning.
“It (The End of the Trails)
is a tribute to the trail itself.
Not necessarily to the wagon
ruts made by the white set
tlers, but to the buffalo sol
diers and event the Native
Americans who walked it long
before it had a name,” said
Andersen.

his household, will give a lecture
and perform on his hybrid musi

have received much critical ac

’Jason’ survives; over and over again
ISAIAH CREEL
Staff writer
Due to hit theaters on Fri
day, April 26 (26 divided by
2 equals 13, or Friday the
13th) Jason X, 10, or what
ever, is the latest installment
in the “Friday the 13,h”
legacy. I had the extreme
honor of participating in ah
advanced screening of the
film, and my brain cell count
will never be the same.
Scope of the Screen
The year is 2010 A.D.
Infamous super-killer/ zom
bie-fiend Jason Voorhees has
finally been captured (killing
him being entirely out of the
question) and is being “de
tained” in Crystal Lake Re
search Facility.
Eventually, they throw him
in the deep freeze, with some
•scientist chick, and Jason is
forgotten...
That is until the year 2455
A.D., when a field trip to
Earth I (yea there are two
earths—since we screwed this
one over, they had to invent
an Earth II to keep all the
drones alive and happy) un
covers the popsicled rem
nants of both Jason and sci
ence chick.
Brings monster-pop on ship.
Thaw out woman.
(insert horny space teenagers
here)
(insert extremely cheesy
death sequences here)
And in the end...
Well, let’s just say that Ja
son is not only alive, but he
has new chrome plating, and
is thriving on Earth II, with
all new victims.
Whoop-de-frickin-doo!
Vibes
Sweet Lord in Heaven.
There were far too many bad
things to say about this film.
Acting: horrible
Special Effects: horrible
Attempted Plot: horrible
Slasher Violence: sub-par at
best (although I had a good
chuckle in the (“screwing”
scene...tee hee!)

were ridiculous. The heroines
name was Rowan, with support
ing cast including Kinsa,
Waylander and Dr. Wimmer.
The most horrible part
about the whole film wasn’t
the acting, or even the
cheesy one liners, but the
wardrobes. Holy crap, they
were ridiculous! Random
fragments of sweaters
strewn together in an at
tempt at what can only be de
scribed as a “new look.” Not
futuristic, just new.
Main Complaints
First, this was clearly a rip-off
of “Alien.” The spaceship was
full of Marines, who were killed
off like lemmings, while the sci
entists held out to the very
end. Not to mention the “si
lent” killer lurking in the shad
less girl in a sleeping bag against
a tree, but it was a hologram per
son! A hologram! Plus, EVERY
ONE on the ship was the horny
couple!
My third complaint is really
more of an observation.
Throughout the film, people
wanted to keep Jason alive for
either research (e.g. “Aliens”) or
money. Now New Line Cinema
is trying to keep Jason alive for
money... eerie.

Second, this didn’t even ad
here to the long tradition of
“Friday the 13th” excellence.

I give “Jason X” a 10 out of
10 on the blatant-rip-off-of-a-
classic-horror-film-o-meter.
