Abstract: Painter, sculptor, printmaker, environmental artist and filmmaker Red Grooms came to Harvard for a one-day visit and gave a slide-lecture for 275 people in the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts large lecture hall. His visit, which was co-sponsored by the Carpenter Center for the visual Arts, opened up an exhibition of Grooms' New Prints at the Carpenter Center which ran through January 9. His slide-lecture covered the very beginning of his career, through projects he is currently working on. "Ruckus Manhattan", "The Discount Store", and "Philadelphia Cornucopia" are among the 'sculptopictoramas' he showed slides of and talked about the process of creating. He talked about the playful humor, the history and the techniques he uses in all of these works.
