The Leonard Pearlstein Gallery presents:Open To Interpretation John Langdon and Eric Zillmer: The Art and Science of the Inkblot
The Leonard Pearlstein Gallery in the Westphal College is proud to announce the upcoming January exhibit, Open To Interpretation, John Langdon and Eric Zillmer: The Art and Science of the Inkblot. An opening reception will be held on Wednesday, January 16, 5:00-7:00 PM in the Lobby of Nesbitt Hall (3125 Market St.). The gallery is open Monday-Friday 11 AM- 5PM, through February 8th.
Original inkblots by artist and designer John Langdon elevate the perceived simplicity of the inkblot from basic monoprint to complex ambigrams. Known for his research in ambigrams, Langdon applies his expertise to create word plays developed using the inkblot technique. Eric Zillmer’s research into the science of inkblot analysis presents the audience with a rare opportunity to see a complete set of clinical Inkblots prints in conjunction with a collection of clinical responses
The Opening Reception on January 16 is Free and Open to public as are all visits to the gallery during open hours. For more information please email: gallery@drexel.edu.

The Real Cost of Fast Fashion
That shirt was a steal at $5.99, but what are its environmental costs? How are the raw materials processed and what environmental damage did that create? Where was it made and were workers exploited? How did it get to the store and how much carbon was emitted in transporting? What will you do when you tire of your latest fashion buy and no longer want it?
Some retailers and manufacturers are actively pursuing corporate social responsibility while others do not. Some consumers care about the environmental impact of their purchase, but others do not. Where doyou stand?
