 samplesize / curatorial-House Hold: Dean Baldwin & James Prior   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
When Dean Baldwin obsessively photographs the same situations in his recent body of work loosely titled Things From the Fridge (2003), his work comments on the paradoxical nature of the routine in both its ability to mark emptiness and provide comfort.
Their uniform presentation and ingredients, never deviating from more than a few grams that fall within set standard deviations, are metaphors for rituals in life in general: the consumption of these products is done routinely and unthinkingly, just as the rituals depicted here are unreflexively performed, filling temporal, physical and emotional voids.
Dean Baldwin, on the other hand, uses the banal and familiar to suggest a lone masculine space.

 Actor John Vernon, 72; 'Animal House' Dean (washingtonpost.com)
As Dean Vernon Wormer in "Animal House," John Vernon was challenged to respond to the ad-libbing of younger cast members.
Vernon's pitch-perfect performance in "Animal House" led to a second career as a comic straight man. He reprised Wormer for the short-lived ABC television spinoff "Delta House" (1979) and appeared in several spoofs.
He was born Adolphus Raymondus Vernon Agopsowicz on Feb. 24, 1932, in Zehner, Canada, which he called a "one-grain-elevator town in Saskatchewan." While attending a Jesuit high school, he was chosen to read part of a Charles Dickens novel and so impressed his teacher that he was asked to become part of the theater group.

John Vernon, a Canadian-born character actor who frequently played villains in films and on television and may be best known as the sinister Dean Wormer in the comedy classic "Animal House," has died.
Vernon did his best to expel the Delta House Fraternity -- the beer-swilling, toga-partying gang of college misfits personified by the uncouth and unkempt John Belushi as "Bluto" Blutarsky.
He became interested in acting in high school and studied at the Banff School of Fine Arts in Canada and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

 "Animal House" Dean Dead - Feb 04, 2005 - E! Online News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Feb 4, 2005, 3:05 PM PT John Vernon, who earned a measure of cinematic immortality dressing down Delta House as Dean Wormer in 1978's National Lampoon's Animal House, died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles of complications from heart surgery.
Perhaps the highlight of Dean Wormer's job in the film is to inform the toga-favoring Deltas, led by Bluto (John Belushi) and Otter (Tim Matheson), that they have been expelled from college after violating their "double-secret probation."
Director John Landis encouraged the younger members of the cast of Animal House to ad-lib in scenes, but gave Vernon no warning, as he wanted an unrehearsed reaction to the antics thought up by Belushi and the gang--for example, when Bluto shoves pencils up his nose as he's being lectured by Wormer.

Howard Dean, Chairman of the Democrat National Committee, in a speech to Democrat supporters said, “I would make the argument that America is safer when Democrats are in the White House, than when Republicans are in the White House.”
Dean has said Republicans never made an honest living in their lives and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay ought to go back to Houston where he can serve his jail sentence.
Asked about Dean’s remark about Republicans and honest living, GOP chairman Ken Mehlman told NBC’s “Meet the Press”: “I’m not sure the best way to win support in the red states is to insult the folks who live there.

 The Monger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Former Vice President Al Gore will endorse Democratic presidential contender Howard Dean on Tuesday, political sources said, handing Dean a crucial political prize and solidifying his position at the front of the 2004 pack.
Gore, who won the popular vote in 2000 but lost the White House to President Bush after a bitter 36-day recount battle in Florida, will appear with the former Vermont governor at a morning event in Harlem in New York City, the sources said.
The endorsement from Gore, who considered and rejected another White House run nearly a year ago, gives the insurgent Dean the backing of one of the party's most senior establishment figures and greater credibility in the face of charges that he is a product of the left-wing fringe.
