Artwork by imaging and digital arts student, Jason Hughes, was recently selected for display in the exhibition Washington Color Abstraction, curated by Donald Kuspit. The exhibition, sponsored by the Gabarron Foundation, “unites the original artists of the Washington Color School with contemporary artists practicing in DC today. Both inspired by an environment of bold color and pattern and influenced by the color field teachers of the 1960’s, the artists in this exhibition exemplify identities that are deeply intelligent, original, and rooted in the history of their environment. Their community reflects a deep history, rich with constant dialogue and new ideas.” Learn more about the exhibition and selected artists at the Gabarron Foundation website.

Washington Color Abstraction is open now through Friday, April 25. An opening reception will be held at the Carriage House Center for the Arts, this Friday March 7, from 6 to 8 p.m. The Carriage House is located at 149 East 38th Street, New York City, 10016.

Help us find fascinating people.

One of the most popular features we produce at MIT Technology Review depends on extensive input from the public. It’s our annual report on 35 important innovators under the age of 35. Anyone can nominate a candidate. In fact, that’s where some of our best suggestions originate. So please nominate anyone who is doing original and inspiring work in energy, computing and the Web, communications, materials, or biomedicine. (Feel free to nominate yourself.) We’re seeking a diverse group, and not only in terms of gender and geography: we like to highlight academic researchers and people in big companies, startups, VC firms, nonprofits, any kind of organization at all.

                                  Informational Interviews

Are you in the process of choosing an academic major, making career choices, changing careers, or beginning a job hunt? Informational interviews may help you explore your options.

Informational interviewing provides the opportunity to gain current information from professionals in the field.  Informational interviews help you gain valuable information for job hunting and career planning, learn about a particular organization, and network and establish contacts.

How are informational interviews different from other types of interviews? Informational interviews are meant to help you obtain information, not ask for a position.

To prepare for an informational interview: know your own skills, interests, values, and how they relate to the career field represented by the person you will be interviewing. Read about the career area and the organization. Know exactly what kind of information you want by having a list of questions in mind (http://careers.umbc.edu/skills/network/infoint_questions.pdf)
