Kiszla vs. Gabriel: Has Deion Sanders stolen the Rocky Mountain thunder from the Broncos?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:11:02 GMT

Kiz: Denver is still a Broncos town. But it’s Deion Sanders’ world now. And Broncos coach Sean Payton is just living in it. From the moment he set foot in Colorado, Coach Prime made everything the Buffs do buzz-worthy in the football universe. And that was before CU upset Texas Christian in the biggest victory for the program since Bill McCartney won a national championship. As Sanders likes to say: We comin’. Should the Broncos be checking for Ralphie in their rearview mirror?Gabriel: If the Labor Day water cooler talk in the Broncos’ media workroom is any indication, the Buffs are the biggest thing going. All Neon Deion, very little NFL Week 1 in the air. I still think if the Broncos get off to a good start or a bad start, the buzz will get loud in a hurry. But if they’re mediocre and boring offensively – can terrific defense still sell in football? – well, the Buffs won’t be that at least. A brusque, game-week Payton on Monday said he didn’t see any college football t...

Meet Interdisciplinary Archivist Jenny Yurshanksy

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:11:02 GMT

For interdisciplinary artist Jenny Yurshanksy, home has never really been a place—at least not in the strict geographical sense. She was born during her parents’ immigration, in the middle of a fraught journey between continents, and that foundational statelessness has informed her sense of self and relationship to the world ever since. In her research-infused art practice, she deftly unravels personal, geopolitical, and often botanical histories—finding ready metaphors in nature for the malleable structure of societies and of families, and undeniable power in direct engagement and individual storytelling. Based in true stories and science-minded inquiry, given form through meaningful objects from embroidered textiles to large-scale sculptural installations, oral and photographic archives, books and texts, photographs, and a variety of further materials as best suited to the matters under examination. Her current project, Rinsing the Bones, invites audience participation in creating...
