Through the exploration of kinetic systems and phenomena, Andy Fallat’s work focuses on the condensation of a narrative into an three dimensional object. Building machines and sculptures that are slightly above human scale, he calls attention to our place within a system. Fallat creates creatures and interactive situations with industrial and classically sculptural processes that question our relationships to them and each other.
The work presented in this exhibit is a series of sculptures and low reliefs. They are machines that imitate life. The hope, fear, and complexity that Fallat finds on walks around his neighborhood. It is a shrub as potent as its cousin the mighty spruce. They are lines that become form and patterns that mute shape. It is what happens when two things point to the same mark.

Job Seekers’ Roundtable: The emails of Raqhav Haran, Author of “Land the Perfect Job”
This Friday’s Roundtable: The Emails of Raghav Haran
I don’t remember how it happened, but I ended up on an email list by career coach and “Land the Perfect Job” author, Raghav Haran.
Sure, he has something to sell – you know, the DVDs and all – but he’s been very approachable and helpful, returning my emails with suggestions and advice.
Interestingly, he never pressures me to buy his program. A very insightful guy with a deeper sense of what this career / job seeking thing is all about.
I sense that he’s a business guy who genuinely enjoys helping people become more secure about job hunting and interviewing.
I have kept most of the emails from Raghav and have asked him if he would not mind that I share a few of them as talking points for Roundtable – his response was very enthusiastically positive. How cool it would be to actually have him in person for a Roundtable!
But maybe this is second best to hosting Raghav in person: What I plan to do this Friday is hopefully get about 10 of you to Roundtable, and hand out different copies of his messages. Emails with titles such as: “Stop Settling on the Big Things in Life,” “What Separates the Top Performers From Everyone Else,” and “Why Won’t Anyone Be Honest With You?” And one of my favorites: “I Dyed My Hair Green and Orange in 4th Grade.” We’ll read the messages and go around about points made, have a few laughs, get some new insights in the process – all this of course with the best coffee in Shoreline, compliments of Central Market.
So see you this Friday – and as always, Good Luck Out There!
When:
Friday, February 5
1:00-2:30pm
Where:
Room 5116, Building 5000 (ground floor)

The Global Affairs Center Presents: Political and Economic Changes in Myanmar (Burma)
Wed., Feb. 3 from 7-8:30 in the PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208).
Myanmar (Burma) is undergoing significant political and economic reforms. On November 8, 2015, The National League for Democracy, led by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi (who was under house arrest from 1989 to 2010), won a stunning nationwide election, defeating a military establishment that has ruled Myanmar since 1962. The country’s election commission announced that the party had won 348 seats, enough for a majority in Parliament, and well more than the 40 won by the ruling (military) party. Yet the military will continue to hold many levers of power, suggesting that a complex dance between entrenched interests and the will of the people is the new reality.
The Republic of the Union of Myanmar, formerly known as Burma (until 1989), is the second largest country in Southeast Asia and boasts a population of more than 50 million. Myanmar emerged from British colonial rule in 1948, and has remained under military control since General Ne Win overthrew the civilian government in a 1962 coup. The country’s modern history has been marred by persistent human rights violations, ethnic strife, cronyism and failed state-run economic management that has resulted in widespread poverty.
Join our discussion about Myanmar’s political and economic changes, together with Larry Dohrs, Chairman, U.S. Campaign for Burma.
For more information about Larry Dohrs, visit our biographies page.
Let’s Talk About it! Understanding Depression Workshop
Join our interactive workshop on depression Wed., Feb. 3 from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the PUB room 9102.

Workshop is open to all and no RSVP needed.

Don’t know what Community Read is? Read on:
Each year a new book is selected for our Community Book Read. Together we share our impressions and ideas. Weekly analyses of the text are led by a variety of college volunteers, bringing with them their unique backgrounds, expertise and perspectives. This keeps the discussion fresh, lively and relevant.
This year’s book is Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements. Octavia’s Brood is a collection of social justice-themed science fiction stories that feature things like time travel, shape shifting, dystopian worlds, re-imaginings of “model minorities” and the possibilities of using visionary fiction to develop new ideas of future worlds. The works are inspired by the writings of Octavia Butler, an award-winning science fiction writer (Kindred, Parable of the Sower, and Lilith’s Brood) who lived in Lake Forest Park before her death in 2006.
The entire campus community is invited to read and discuss the stories inside Octavia’s Brood during winter quarter. Students will be able to receive a FREE copy of the book after signing up!
You can explore the book, its message and its authors at the library’s learning guide here.
