The following text isfor question number 1.
Jan Dibbets may someday have his work revered as much as his Dutch predecessors: Vermeer, Van Gogh, and
Rembrandt. Ata time when the trends in art are toward abstraction and minimalism, Dibbets’ work integrates these two
disparate trends into one remarkable whole. _In one series of composite works, he arranged sections of architectural
photographs into rounded patterns. Then, with pen and ink and watercolors, he connected the segments together
into 360-degree circular forms blending the abstract with the real and the imagined. The imaginary images resemble
the views of ceilings in gothic, baroque, and neo-classical bulldings as they might be seen from the ground floor.

‘The following textis for question number 2.
Forget lions, tigers, and bears. When it comes to the
art of war, army ants are among the most frightening
creatures on earth. With powerful mouth parts, these
fighters can skillfully cut creatures much larger than’
themselves into pieces. Acting together in great numbers,
army ant colonies succeed at making tens of thousands
of such kills each day. Their capabilities do have limits,
though. Contrary to popular belief, they almost never
take down large animals of people.
One of the best places to observe army ants is Barro
Colorado, an island in a lake created by Panama Canal
‘The island is home to as many as 50 colonies of Eciton
burchelli, the most studied army ant in the word. tts
‘one of 150 types of army antsin the New World; more 170
‘other types live in Asia, Africa, and Australia
The colonies of this army ant are huge, ranging from
300.000 to 700.000 ants. They never stay in one place
long, moving from nest site to nest site. Linking legs
together, they use their own bodies to form enormous
nests called bivouacs, which they hang beneath a fallen
tree. There they stay for about 20 days as the queen lays |
‘as many as 300,000 eggs.
When the ants go hunting as many as 200.000 of them
leave the nest in a group that broadens into a fan as wide
as 14 meters, This swarm raid takes a slightly different
course each day, allowing the hunter to cover fresh
‘ground each time.
Protecting the ants wherever they go are soldiers,
recognizable by their oversized jaws. If thelr frightening
looks do not scare enemies away, soldiers also have a
powerful bite and the attack is often suicidal. Because
their jaws are shaped like fishhooks, the soldiers cannot
pull them out again. Amazonian tribes have used soldier
ants to close wounds, breaking the bodies and leaving
the head in place.
Eciton burchellii are blind and cannot see what a
head of them is, but they move together in such great
‘numbers that they can easily kill the non army ants,
insect and other small creatures that constitute their prey.
\When the groups happen upon a break in the path, ants
immediately link legs together and form living bridges so
that the groups can move forwards without any delay
In Japanese the word ant is written by linking two
characters: one meaning “Insect the other meaning
‘loyalty’, Indeed, individual ants are completely loyal to
their fellow ants. They display many examples of selfless
cooperation that, while certainly extreme, cannot fail to
win human admiration,

company and making personal connections within the
different departments that will handle their recordings.
