Appreciating Music: Melody Thoughts on evaluation One of the organizing factors in all of music is the melody. If music is sound organized in time (or rather the taking of dominion over sound and time), then melody is one way to help interpret or understand a piece of music. In her book The Anatomy of Melody: Exploring the Single Line of Song, Alice Parker states an apology for melody in her forward: We are living in a culture that doesn’t value melody, one that seems to have lost touch with this primal means of expression. We are surrounded by sounds so insistent, so varied in intent and clangor, that we’ve forgotten how to listen to a single line. In fact, we don’t really listen to each other speak anymore because there are too many distractions luring us away from the unadorned human voice. We’ve lost the basic, easy connection between speech and song that makes speech musical and song communicative. We’re perilously close to losing silence: in the electronic world, silence means disconnection. She also argues for participating in music no matter at what skill level. From experience, there is a palpable difference between listening to a piece, studying a piece, and actually performing it. In his book What to Listen For in Music, American composer Aaron Copland suggests what constitutes a good melody: A beautiful melody, like a piece of music in its entirety, should be of satisfying proportions. It must give us a sense of completion and of inevitability. To do that, the melodic line will generally be long and flowing, with low and high points of interest and a climatic moment usually near the end. While one can argue with the necessity of the length and flow of a melody, the concepts of completion and inevitability are consistent with the ideas of sound organized in time. In an essay for the book Teaching Beauty: A Vision for Music & Art in Christian Education, I wrote about the idea of “objective appropriateness”: Because of the strong connection between the objective appropriateness of balance, order, unity and proportion inherent in God’s creation, a good melody should naturally resonate with careful listeners despite their lack of formal training. Music appreciation has the dual role of guiding students in the ability to sense the “rightness” of the object as well as developing the taste of the listener and exposing them to those things that are inherently beautiful, good, and true. Because of the order of the cosmos, balance and order resonate in the human spirit more clearly than does chaos. For instance, a perfectly drawn circle has a beauty and unity that is lacking if the line gets squiggly or flattens the arc. This is also why listeners are not drawn towards atonal or chance (aleatoric) music—there is no sense of order, development or completion. Conversely, despite the beauty of the cosmos, the Fall affects the desire to seek out those things that are true, lovely and of good report. Consequently, it is easier to listen to music that requires no thought, that provokes immediate emotional reactions, and makes no disciplined demands. This is why we must continually listen to objectively good examples—whether that means music, literature, geometric proofs —and provide the means to comprehend truth and beauty in the framework of a Christian worldview. So how should we evaluate melody based on its appropriateness or its fulfillment of “balance, order, unity, and proportion”? Here are some sample guidelines: • What is the shape of the melody? • When and where does it rise and fall? • If you were to draw the contours of the melodic line, what would it look like? • Is there a sense of completion and how is that accomplished—repetition, variation, or inevitability? • Is there a sense of proportion and balance? Is it too long or too short? • Does it develop the inherent potential of the musical ideas? • Is it major, minor, modal, or other? • If there are lyrics, does the music reflect the words and their natural rhythm? Do the lyrics match the music in tone and melodic arc? Starting with melody provides a key to unlock the rest of a musical work whether it be counterpoint, harmony, formal structure, or large scale works. If it is a work of counterpoint, the melody serves as a dialogue between multiple voices. With regards to harmony, the melody serves to either create resultant harmony between horizontal lines or as the primary voice that is supported by chords. With formal structure, the melody provides the roadmap to the repetitions, variations, and development that form the concerto, rondo, symphony, suite, sonata-allegro, etc. For example, thinking through the first four notes of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony provides the melodic motif that spins out the following four movements and the next 40 minutes of music. When it comes to plainsong chant, attending to the rise and fall of the melody as well as the melismatic passages (multiple notes to a single syllable) emphasizes the meaning and theological content of the text. Irish tunes often repeat the final note as a form of completeness. Tchaikovsky’s melody are beautiful but sometimes seem to lack focus or a conclusion. All of these examples are ways in which melody helps to structure our understanding and evaluation of a piece. Start with the melody of a piece. Learn it well. Analyze it, sing or play it, and let it guide you to a greater understanding and appreciation of music. Leave a Comment Your email address will not be published.

A piece involving three canvases that together are close to four metres wide. This week finally saw the installation of the work in their new home, the Max Planck Institute for Psycholingistics in Nijmegen. You never quite know how artworks are going to look in a new location so it is always just a bit of an edgy moment when you pull them out of the packaging and lean them up against the wall and step back to look. On this occasion the result has proved to be undoubtedly a move in the positive direction. The work itself of course hasn’t changed, but the location it has received is on a beautifully spacious white wall that is positively flooded with light. I could have asked for little more, the three panels do look, even if I say so myself, beautiful. The paintings were given an official presentation moment on Wednesday afternoon, along with the also recently purchased work by Alex Dima. It was a chance to thank those involved, but also a moment to say something about the ideas and intentions behind the paintings. I am always a bit wary to say too much in such circumstances, I don’t want to give the idea that there is just one route to go. However I am also keen, if I can, to offer the viewer a way into interpreting the work. On this occasion I chose for a short poem, it touches on a number of ideas and reference points that have been important whilst creating the work, but does so in a way that hopefully opens doors to interpretation rather than closing them. I do not pretend to be a writer or a poet, but I have to admit to being quite satisfied with the resulting three verses, it was certainly well received at the opening! Flight and escape, contemporary themes Uncertain destinations, safety behind barriers I look to the landscape The backdrop of our lives A rush of wings Movement passing A narrow aperture opening Reduced geometric architecture Refined beauty in our man made line Engaging the serene beauty beyond Crisp, hard edges marking space Illusions in the décor Nature meets the line Clear blue sky and searing heat A solitary cloud drifts A rush of wings move the air Lost in the colour Swift movement passing by 3 panels commission completed…. Since early May this year I have been working on a large scale artwork for a research institute in the Dutch town of Nijmegen. I have never had the chance to work on such a large scale piece of work knowing that the location for it has already been decided. The finished work is close to four metres in width (over twelve feet if you prefer!). The three panels are based directly on earlier completed paintings although the new versions gave the opportunity to refinement and further development in some areas. Most of my paintings are essentially quite small. So the chance to work on such an expansive scale has been technically interesting although more so in the area of actually seeing how ideas that worked well on a more intimate scale would scale up. The the paintings show a stretch of bleak landscape that reaches across the panels in combination with bending geometry of the coloured walls. The graphic sharpness of the geometry has been increased from the smaller versions, heightening the tension of the edges of the walls where they meet the sky and where the birds appear to disappear ‘behind the sky. The ‘ordering’ in the landscape isn’t quite what it would’at first seem. Is it actually a landscape that we are looking at? Or is it a sort of ‘décor’, scenery or film set? Is this the tranquil scene that it at first might appear to be? Where are the birds flying too? I’ve been documenting the process of development over the last months in a series of photographs. I’ve been doing this mostly for myself, but the short film does give an interesting insight into how these paintings come together in a series of steps. So what was it a again that cultural life gives us? On my way backwards and forwards to my work I pass through the Dutch town of Nijmegen. On this journey I don’t normally see much of the town, it is simply the place where I normally change trains, each time having just five to ten minutes to make my way from one platform to the other. A couple of weeks ago a piano was positioned in an open space on one of the platforms where there is a high roof above. An invitation was placed next to the piano inviting anyone who wants to, to take a seat and play for the passers-by. It is an approach to public performance that I have seen elsewhere, but here in Nijmegen it has certainly been an instant hit. Even when I pass through the station at 6.50am there is almost always someone playing, and in the afternoon it is often a lot more than just the piano, just now it was piano, double bass, guitar and accordion all playing together. And it was also plenty more just passer-by that they were entertaining, they had a whole audience. What is it that culture gives us is a question I often enough have to field from pupils at school. A quick look across the platform in Nijmegen certainly gives one answer, joy, pleasure and a tangible lift in emotion, that is certainly what I experience as I move by. There’s not even an open guitar case on the floor for loose change to be thrown into, this is about sharing and coming together, be that the players themselves or the ever changing audience. Others have certainly also been noticing the performances in Nijmegen as this film shows:

BQF have an extensive track record of helping organisations learn from best practice, improve their performance and achieve sustainable excellence. They specialise in the use of business improvement approaches and tools such as the EFQM Excellence Model and Lean Six Sigma. The main work was done to their two conference rooms, we applied semi-transparent frosted vinyl film across the glass panels. We also placed the BQF company logo within the frosted vinyl in a darker shade so the logo can be easily seen. We also designed the other side of the conference room to have the company emblem as part of the privacy vinyl. This give the office more personality and more pleasing to the eye compared to normal generic strip of frosted vinyl. Frosted glass gives meeting rooms that extra privacy and reduces distractions from the office environment. Remember not all offices have to have the standard single colour privacy stripe throughout you glass panels. We can design a custom look with your company logo even with semi-transparent full colour vinyl. Enjoyed this article? Share on social!

Some of the most visible traces of this spread are found along the famous silk road that ran from the Roman & Islamic empires of West Asia all the way to China, with important side branches descending to North India. The icons shown here were created primarily in cave monasteries that sprang up & flourished at important points along Chinas portion of the silk road, from the 5th century CE onward. Although such sculptural styles clearly originated in Northern India, they had evolved there only a few centuries earlier in the 2nd century CE when Roman artisans were hired to work for North Indian patrons. Once settled in China, Buddhist institutions developed primarily during the period of North/South division from the 3rd-6th centuries CE, and then consolidated their power during the subsequent unification brought about in the 7th century by the Tang dynasty. • Buddha seatedon a lotus (5th CE,Wei Dynasty) • sitting Buddha w/flaming halo (5th-6th CE, Dunhuang Caves) • cave monastery at Longmen (5th-7th CE) • seated Buddhawith halo (5th CE, Longmen) • standing Buddha & bodhisattvas (6th-7th CE, Longmen Caves) • 2. Painting & Sculpture in theSung & Yuan Dynasties After a brief period of disunity following the fall of the Tang in 906 CE, the Sung dynasty restored order to the Chinese empire in 960 CE. Over the next few centuries, Neo-Confucians increasingly criticized the emperors of this dynasty for their policy of appeasing potential northern invaders rather than confronting them with military force. Yet there can be no doubt that Song sponsorship of the arts led to a period of brilliant intellectual & artistic activity, with talented painters and craftspeople (many of whom developed a keen interest in realism during this period) being richly rewarded by the imperial court, and art academies ranking artists according to their achievements. With the gradual weakening of this dynasty in the 13th century, however, Mongolian invaders under Kubla Khan easily invaded and took over the centers of power, installing themselves as the new Yuan dynasty after reportedly killing half of the population in their merciless raids. Surviving artists, who tended to resent the military weakness of the Song emperors for which the Chinese had suffered to intensely, developed new and distinct styles to distinguish themselves from their Song predecessors. Kublai Khans court, for its part, continued to sponsor the arts, inviting new painters from South China who likewise initiated new trends. The sculptures and paintings of this section illustrate the ongoing evolution of styles during both periods, and also reflect the dominance of Pure Land & Chan Buddhist movements. • temple in mountain landscape (12th CE, Song Dynasty) • bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (12th CE, Sung Dynasty) • bodhisattva Guan Yin, standing & seated(12th-13th CE, Sung Dynasty) (14th CE, Yuan Dynasty) • western paradise of Amitabha (14th CE,Yuan Dynasty) • eastern pure land of the Medicine Buddha (1319 CE) • (Side View) • (Close Up) • Bodhidharma, patriarch of Chan tradition (14th CE) • 3. Icons & Images inNeo-Confucian Tradition Developments in Buddhist art & architecture were preceded, for almost a thousand years, by important developments in Confucian tradition, which beginning in the 2nd century BCE became the official ideology of the Chinese empire, a position which it retained until the early 20th CE. As in considering the impact of Islamic art on Indian culture previously dominated by Buddhist & Hindu influences, it is important to look at a few examples of the way Confucian art (and especially the neo-Confucian forms that became increasingly influential in the 11th & 12th centuries CE) differed from Buddhist art. Like Muslims, Confucians almost without exception avoided iconic depictions, though for slightly different reasons: Confucians regarded popular iconic representations of divine powers as distractions, which kept people from seeking the cultivation of jen (human-heartedness) within themselves. This section presents a few striking examples of Neo-Confucian art & architecture, which reflect the central place of written classics and honoring human ancestors in Confucian tradition. • stone carving of a Confucian classic (8th CE) • Confucian temple (15th-16th CE, Ming Dynasty) • vase with pomegranate(symbol of fertility & longevity) (late 17th CE) • painting of Confucius (1743,Qing Dynasty) View more >

On day six of the tour, we left the cranes and moved on to photograph the Whooper Swans at Lake Kussharo in Hokkaido, the northern-most island of Japan. After stopping for a somewhat touristy visit to Lake Mashuu, we first spent an hour at a small corner of the Kussharo Lake called Kotan. Not long after we arrived, a fight broke out between two swans that had just flown into a part of the lake that doesn’t freeze totally because of the geothermal hot water that flows into it there. I don’t like to sensationalize fights between animals, but there can sometimes be something quite beautiful as swans in a flurry cause the water of the environment to take to the air, as we can see in this first image for today (below). Swan Fight These fights can be quite brutal, sometimes drawing blood, and it often makes me wonder what one swan might not like about the other, but they are common and sometimes unrelenting. A part of nature I guess. I had set my camera to ISO 320 for a 1/1000 of a second exposure, so the airborne water droplets were pretty much suspended in place, and the flailing wings of the birds frozen in time. My aperture was set to f/11 and my focal length was 312 mm with my 100-400mm lens. After lunch a little further down the road beside the lake, we photographed the swans again for a while and were lucky enough to get some daytime fly-ins, which we don’t see that often. Here we see two pairs of swans flying with the mountains on the other side of the lake as a backdrop. It was around 2:30 pm when I shot this, but already the afternoon light is starting to warm up as the sun nears the horizon. Two Pairs of Whooper Swans My settings for this shot were ISO 400 for a 1/1000 of a second at f/11, and a focal length of 110 mm. After this, we went to check in to our hotel early, as it’s close by, and then came back to the same location to photograph the Whooper Swans as the sun dropped behind the mountains with a slow shutter speed, panning with them to capture the movement of their wings, as you can see in the next image (below). Streaks and Blur We didn’t get many chances on this first day, so this is probably my best shot, but I do like the warm color over the mostly frozen lake behind the swan, and the “X” shape made by the swan’s wings and their reflection. As I mentioned last week, I generally like to do large bird panning shots with a shutter speed of between 1/25 and a 1/50 of a second. This was a 1/40 of a second, and that generally gives you a better chance of getting the head sharp. While in the Kushiro area for the first two days in Hokkaido, there had been no falling snow, and the ground where we’d been photographing the Red-Crowned Cranes was very heavily textured from the cranes walking on it, and from the contrast added by the bright sunlight. So, when the weather forecast indicated that it may well be snowing on our fourth day in Hokkaido, because we were still close enough to go back to the crane’s, I decided to do just that. Swans are beautiful birds, but when there is a chance of photographing crane’s in the snow, in my opinion, that’s always going to be the better option. To hopefully illustrate my point, here is one of my first photos after we arrived at the Akan Crane Center on our bonus visit (below). These four cranes flew in and landed in a clear, which was a stroke of luck in itself, but the falling snow in this scene and the clean, fresh snow on the ground gives this image a much better look than the images I shared in last week’s travelogue from a few days earlier. Four on the Floor I recall myself and the participants all being very excited as we captured these images. There is an electric excitement when standing in front of a field of birds as beautiful as this in what is probably one of their most majestic conditions. My settings for this were ISO 3200 with 1/800 of a second shutter speed, so you can probably appreciate how little light there was. My aperture was f/10 and my focal length was 442 mm with my 200-400mm lens with the built-in 1.4X Extender engaged. Just a few minutes later there was another group of five cranes that flew in, as we can see in this next image (below). There were no birds with bands on their legs in both this group and the previous group, which is another stroke of luck. Quite often the crane’s in the best shots have bands on their legs, and that kind of spoils the image. Occasionally I’ll clone them out, but that’s generally more work than I like to do to an image. Not from an ethical perspective, I just don’t like spending any more time on post processing than necessary. Five in the Sky As you can see, even without the snow on the ground included in the shot, the snow in the air still transforms the background to a beautiful painterly backdrop. My settings for this shot were the same as the previous image, but I’d disengaged the internal Extender and was shooting at 400mm, the full extent without the Extender. After this, the snow got a little finer and the wind got up more, and many of the cranes just seemed to hunker down and start to simply bear the weather. This presents its own photographic opportunities, as you can see in this next image (below) although I was hoping for a little more action. Hunkered Down Still, I like this kind of shot too. There’s a kind of austere beauty to it that really appeals to me. I guess it’s the wildlife version of some of the minimalist landscape work that I love to do so much. My settings for this were ISO 2000 for a 1/800 of a second at f/10, and a focal length of 480 mm. I could, of course, have slowed my shutter speed down some, with the birds being so still, but I do like how the small flakes of snow are totally frozen in time, so that’s not something that I’m going to be too concerned about. We also of course never know when the cranes are going to burst into action and start dancing around, as one did in this next image (below) so I generally like to just leave my camera settings to be ready for action while with the cranes. I love the painterly feel to this image as well. There was a very beautiful quality to the light for most of this day in the heavy snow. This is another reason why I love photographing anything in the snow. Odd One Out I’ve heard this accredited to the legendary Jay Maisel, although I can’t find proof of that online, but I love to quote the saying “Never trust air you can’t see.” In New York, that might have a different meaning, but to me, I love it when there is something in the air to make it visible, be it snow, rain, mist, fog or steam. It seems that my favorite images have something in the air to stop it being totally transparent, and that’s a quality that I really value when I’m making photographs. My settings for this image were ISO 1600, so we can tell that the light was increasing gradually, and my shutter speed was 1/800 at f/10, with a focal length of 560 mm. At this point, I’m still trying to whittle down the images that I’ll talk about in this travelogue series, and I’m looking at another nine photographs from my picks from the cranes. We’ll continue on with three more images, and then try to move back to the swans and sea eagles for the final episode next week. I couldn’t resist leaving this next image in the set, partly because I like the texture and detail in the black feathers along the back of the wings on this pair of cranes as they sing together, and partly because this photo reminds me of the difficulty that we often have in getting a clean shot of the crane’s when they dance or sing. Crane’s Song In reality, for this shot, I have cloned out a swan sitting on the ground just behind the two cranes, two more cranes that were strutting along to the right of the swan, and a third crane standing in the space to the left of these cranes. Years ago I wouldn’t have done that, but as the cranes thankfully grow in numbers, it’s become more and more difficult to capture them in the clear and I figure because this is art, not photojournalism, I can do whatever I like. Of course, it still feels great to nail a shot without having to do that, and most of my work is almost straight out of the camera, but I’m not too concerned these days about removing something when necessary. I was at ISO 1250 for a 1/800 of a second shutter speed with an aperture of f/11 and focal length of 560 mm for this shot. Talking about detail, that’s also why I like this next image too (below). This is a crane coming in to land, relatively close to us, as I shot this at 400mm and it’s uncropped. I really like the ruffled feathers on the back of this crane’s wings, as the wind that he disturbs as he lands catches up with him. I also like how he has the ice on his legs, probably from sleeping in the river where they roost, that we also looked at last week. Ruffled Feathers It’s nice too that I was able to capture this while the crane was still over the dark trees in the background. When I first started traveling to this crane center in the winter some 15 years ago, the entire back of the field had dark trees along it like that, but they cut most of them down due to disease, many years ago now, so all we have are these last few trees on the right. They still make a great backdrop when the stars align though. My settings for this photograph were ISO 1600 for 1/800 of a second at f/11. Every so often the cranes come quite close to the front of the enclosure and they started to do that in the afternoon shortly before we had to leave to return to the area that we were supposed to be photographing the Whooper Swans in. Here (below) we see a single crane almost posing for the camera, with ruffled wing feathers and a lovely neck and head position. Posing Crane I also love the foot as the crane lifts its right leg, again, almost looking like it’s posing for me. This was shot at 350 mm, so relatively close, and my ISO was set to 1250 for 1/800 of a second shutter speed at f/11. We’ll wrap up this episode with that, and as I release this, I’ll actually be back with the Sea Eagles in Rausu on my final Japan winter tour for this season. I still feel incredibly fortunate to be able to make a living partly from running these tours, and I get an untold amount of pleasure out of the enjoyment that I see on the faces of my tour participants as we photograph these elegant and majestic subjects, especially when my decisions as we travel enable us to do more than would be possible if my group was traveling with a company that does not maintain the flexibility that I do in my tours.

The project is focused on low cost and rapidly-built structures that are modular, ecological, and energy efficient. At the heart of OBI is a library of building modules, including walls, windows, doors, roof, utility and functional modules and more that can be combined to create a variety of structures, including studios, homes, multi-family houses, greenhouses, barns, workshops, schools, and offices. I spoke with founding partner Marcin Jakubowski about the importance of open source design to address pressing global issues, why modular building is an exciting alternative to traditional building methods, and how an empowered community of people that draw from, and contribute to, the library can help provide low-cost housing solutions anywhere. Cat Johnson: How did the Open Building Institute (OBI) come about? What need does it fill that is not available elsewhere? Marcin Jakubowski: Catarina Mota and I got married in 2013 and she moved from Brooklyn, New York to the middle of nowhere, Missouri. She realized that the house we had was simply too small. We called some contractors, but found out that what we wanted didn’t exist yet. Catarina needed a comfortable house that didn’t cost a million dollars, that could be built quickly from local materials, and that could be expanded as we grow. There was only one option: we had to build it ourselves. So we did just that. We examined the best practices then took our open source high power brick press and, through much trial and error, developed a formula for rapid builds. With rapid builds, a big group of people builds a large number of modules in parallel and then assembles them rapidly into a building. We realized that, using these techniques, we could build an 800 square foot structure from scratch in just five days. So we decided to take it to the next level. For a few years now we’ve been developing an open source toolkit that can make building a house easier, faster, and cheaper. We started a library of modules that can be put together like building blocks. We’re developing instructionals, including software and many other tools to enable anyone to design and build using this open source system. Moreover, we’re creating a training program for our system so, if you want, you can hire an OBI builder anywhere in the world. We have decided to build a solar-powered, replicable Materials Production Facility so you can use local materials wherever you are. Focusing on integrated, regenerative design, we are pursuing Living Building Challenge certification, which is the highest standard for regenerative construction. We are also developing a social model of production, where apprentices-in-training build the houses during immersion training workshops. Our combination of rapid build time, low cost, regenerative features, user-generated design, and feasibility of both social production or commercial build models are not found in any other house offering. Our value proposition revolves around democratizing construction. The Institute offers a library of building modules, including walls, windows, doors, roof, and utilities, that can be combined to create homes, barns, greenhouses, studios and more. Why does open, low-cost, modular building make sense? Modular, open source housing makes sense because you can design and modify it yourself for your specific needs—or you can use existing designs. Open design means that you have full access to use, distribute, modify, or sell the product, free of charge. Low cost makes sense for access, such as when modular housing can be built in an incremental fashion. Our standard model costs under $25k for materials for a 700 square foot, expandable Starter Home. But you can build a structure of any size, larger or smaller. Rather than getting in debt with the average $360,000 dollar new house, you can start with a smaller home for 1/10 of the cost and then expand it as needed. You have the ability to choose standard or innovative features, as your budget allows. Because we are developing design guides and we provide the module libraries, you can become your own house designer. The point of modular design is that you have access to design assets that have already been worked out or engineered in detail by others so you are able to create house designs that are not only fanciful, but also buildable in real life. If you contribute your designs or improvements back to the common pool under a share-alike license, which is a requirement of using the OBI library, then access to quality designs increases with time. The whole ecosystem grows in value and service to humanity. Designs and build instructions are contributed by designers around the world. What type of designs are found in the library and why is the collaborative and distributed approach important? We have seeded a library, which has sufficient modules to design a house. But our scope of usage in many contexts and locations is so broad that only a collaborative and distributed approach can achieve it. Many designers, many perspective and experiences are needed to pull it off. This could not be done with a centralized approach. The library, at this point, contains around 20 structure and utility modules that we have built and tested over the last three years. The scope of the library includes materials, build processes, structural and utility modules, and entire house designs. June 14 marks the official launch of OBI, when we start accepting contributions to the library from the general public. As people contribute and the library grows the more valuable the system becomes. The modules and procedures are open source—forever and with no exceptions, so that everyone is free to use, modify and redistribute them. How do you see the open source movement intersecting with the affordable, ecological housing movement? Open source also means that you can learn more about building and get actively involved, as opposed to leaving it to others and accepting their choices without fully understanding them. This is important, since involved, knowledgeable, proactive citizens are the only thing that can change the world. Open source means that the competitive waste is zero and innovation is unleashed. We are pursuing the extreme limit of both ecology and cost, as exemplified in our goal of attaining Living Building Challenge compliance while remaining affordable. We believe that only if the design is open source can it become affordable as otherwise you are paying for expensive expertise. There’s a focus on empowering non-professional builders with modules that can be easily and quickly built. Why is this important? Who do you see utilizing the library and Institute? Empowering non-professionals to build increases access to housing significantly as more people will have the ability to build and to do so at lower cost. In the global context, this is especially relevant with the tide of urbanization. According to world-renowned architect Alejandro Aravena, “by 2030, out of the five billion people that will be living in cities, two billion are going to be under the line of poverty. That means that we will have to build a one million-person city per week with 10,000 dollars per family during the next 15 years.” Arevena believes that this equation can be solved by incremental housing…only if we “channel people’s own building capacity.” We envision that DIY builders and startup entrepreneurs will be our early adopters and we believe that some of our designs will be adopted by mainstream builders once the open source cost-to-performance advantage becomes clear. Who contributed designs and are the designs tested or approved? The current designs have been produced by Catarina Mota, project founder, and our product launch marks the opening of public contributions. Our goal is to have both the modules, materials, and house designs fully certified, with calculations and engineering approval as needed. We will provide test data for building materials that we release from third party testing labs. We will provide support in navigating building codes, and we will crowdsource location-based information on standards and requirements for locations around the world. We will encourage voluntary contributions of not only on module designs, but also on materials testing, product certification, code compliance, and engineering calculations. We will document testing protocols, and use open source design/calculation software throughout, so that our products have an extra layer of transparency. The mission for the Open Building Institute is to make affordable, ecological housing accessible to everyone. What is the big picture vision for it? If everything goes really well, what would you most like to see? The average American pays $1.2M over their lifetime just to secure their home. And 1.6 billion people on earth live without adequate housing. Housing is not a privilege, it’s a basic need. We envision a world where everyone has access to housing—and without getting into debt. We envision a future where regenerative housing helps to heal the environment by providing surplus food, energy, and fuel to its its inhabitants. We envision a world where housing contributes to, rather than detracts from, the natural ecology of a place. Leave a Reply Your email address will not be published. Required fields are marked *

So Karla Leopold, an art therapist from California, was intrigued when she noticed that for many of the young victims of Hurricane Katrina, the house had morphed into a triangle. “At first we thought it was a fluke, but we saw it repeatedly in children of all ages,” said Ms. Leopold, who with a team of therapists has made nine visits to Renaissance Village here, the largest trailer park for Katrina evacuees, to work with children. “Then we realized the internal schema of these children had changed. They weren’t drawing the house as a place of safety, they were drawing the roof.” Countless articles and at least five major studies have focused on the lasting trauma experienced by Hurricane Katrina survivors, warning of anxiety, difficulty in school, even suicidal impulses. But few things illustrate the impact as effectively as the art that has come out of sessions under the large white tent that is the only community gathering spot at Renaissance Village, a gravel-covered former cow pasture with high truancy rates and little to occupy youngsters who do not know when, or if, they will return home. Even now the children’s drawings are populated by alligators, dead birds, helicopters and rescue boats. At a session in May one 8-year-old, Brittney Barbarin, drew a swimming pool full of squiggly black lines. Asked who was in the pool, she replied, “Snakes.” The drawings, photographs and sculptures, about 50 of which went on display Sunday at the New Orleans Museum of Art, are a good indicator of how children are coping, said Dr. Irwin Redlener, the co-founder of the Children’s Health Fund, which has provided mobile mental health clinics to some families along the Gulf Coast. The art also shows that the trauma did not end with the hurricane. “The real prescription for these families is to get them back into a normal community,” Dr. Redlener said. “We’re treading water doing these things, when I’d like to take my prescription pad and write, ‘Home.’ ” On Saturday a wild commotion greeted the arrival of the art therapists, who were handing out T-shirts and registering families for a bus trip to the museum the next day for the exhibition, “Katrina Through the Eyes of Children,” which runs through Oct. 7. The therapists asked the children to draw two pictures each, and then kept an eye out for indicators of deep disturbance, like a picture by Trinity Williams, 7, that showed a figure swimming with a shark. Turbulent blue lines covered the entire paper. Trinity is an energetic child who likes to sing and dance, and play tricks like pulling her name tag off and plastering it across her mouth. Ms. Leopold coaxed her to sit at a picnic table and add things to the drawing that could help the swimmer: a pool float, an adult in a boat, a yellow sun. Trinity has been in treatment for hyperactivity since the storm, said Donna Azeez, who is rearing Trinity. When the art therapists visit, Ms. Azeez said, Trinity will be “a lot calmer, she’ll be smiling.” Even the adults participate, drawing churches, front porches, trees and, in one session, a picture of the trailer park with one palatial house and swimming pool in its midst. Many, both adults and children, draw at a level that is years below what is expected at their age, partly as a result of traumatic regression. Credit...From Katrina through the Eyes of Children On Saturday, Lashawn Wells, 13, presented a drawing of three stick figures in a scribble of gray water: his mother, sister and brother, their arms up in the air. “Where are you?” Ms. Leopold asked. “I don’t want to be in the picture,” Lashawn muttered. Ultimately, Lashawn added himself, a life jacket, a road for running away, and a bridge. Ms. Leopold handed him a blank sheet of paper and asked what safe place was waiting for him on the other side of the bridge. “The Superdome?” Lashawn asked tentatively. “Reliant Center?” Eventually he changed his mind, deciding to draw a house, adding doors, windows, a dresser, and, with Ms. Leopold’s gentle urging, other things he wanted to feel safe, including a cellphone and a gun. The house was shaped like a triangle. Ms. Leopold said the triangle houses were not drawn solely by children who were rescued from rooftops. “This is the collective unconscious,” she said. Unlike many who have tried to help Katrina evacuees, the art therapists have returned again and again, earning the trust of a community of about 400 families that feels isolated and forgotten. They have taught the children to knit, furnished them with journals and digital cameras, even taken a lucky few to the Idyllwild Arts Summer Program in California. They have devoted considerable time to letting the children construct and decorate houses and cities, to literally rebuild. One elaborate three-dimensional version of New Orleans, a community effort built of cardboard boxes that included streets, a church and even a graveyard, was reduced to a soggy mess by a rainstorm. The next day the children began to rebuild. Rosie O’Donnell’s For All Kids Foundation financed the first year of the therapy program; a recent $1 million grant from the country music stars Faith Hill and Tim McGraw will help it continue. Art has piled up in a storage unit in nearby Baton Rouge, La., and in the garage of Leo Bonamy, a project volunteer. Ms. Leopold said that there are signs of recovery in the children’s drawings, but not many. When the American Art Therapy Association held its annual convention in New Orleans last year, she said the organizers asked for examples that were colorful and hopeful. “We didn’t have any,” she said. But there are subtle indications: In 2005 Cheryl Porter, 17, drew the car in which she and her family escaped. In Saturday’s picture the car was safe in a garage. “If I don’t draw, I get in trouble,” Cheryl said. On Sunday three buses filled with families from Renaissance Village headed for the museum, where they would be met in the large, columned lobby with lemonade, cookies and a jazz piano player. As the bus neared the museum, 7-year-old Corielle Mutin spotted Bayou St. John, where two kayakers paddled in the afternoon sun. “I’m scared,” she said, “of the water.”

Instead of utilizing traditional medium Faur turns to a material from our childhood: the crayon. He uses individually hand cast wax crayons to explore the complexity of the pixel in digital photography. Using each crayon like a pixel, he arranges thousands upon thousands of colorful handmade crayons into beautiful and elaborate works of art that allude to aspects of Pointillism and digital photography. As our digital photographic and display technologies continue to advance, the pixel will eventually become so small that it will evade our awareness of its existence entirely. Faur’s work celebrates this moment of transition by deliberately raising these elemental points to our consciousness and allowing us one more good look at these colorful “rods and cones” before they disappear right in front of our eyes.

Over the past few years I’ve release a number of projects that represents different stages in my life reflecting on what I’ve experienced and ICON is no different… What is a Icon? a painting of Jesus Christ or another holy figure, typically in a traditional style on wood, venerated and used as an aid to devotion in the Byzantine and other Eastern Churches. synonyms: image, idol, portrait, picture, representation, likeness, symbol, sign;More a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol of something. “this iron-jawed icon of American manhood” synonyms: idol, paragon, hero, heroine; More I felt that this word is an extension of me. I believe that I am a symbol of the misunderstood generation. The have-not’s who fight for what they believe in even if it’s not popular opinion.

The premiere took place on 28 September 2015. In my discussion, I will focus on the process of transcultural adaptation of Ibsen’s text through negotiation with colonially mediated modernity, which represents the juncture of tradition and modernity of contemporary India. The present situation in India can be understood as a part of a wider notion of colonialist interpellation, which remains implanted within the postcolonial structure. This topographical condition of ‘India’s World’ is interpreted as internal colonialism. As Partha Chatterjee argued in his book The Nation and Its Fragments: The postcolonial state in India has after all only expanded and not transformed the basic institutional arrangements of colonial law and administration, of the courts, the bureaucracy, the police, the army, and the various technical services of government. Before entering into the production process, I started thinking about how Ibsen’s Peer Gyntcould be staged in a meaningful way in India. Clearly, it had to be a transcultural adaptation rather than merely a literary translation. The play-production had to come into grips with their contemporary sociocultural and political situation. In my attempt to create a new artistic expression, it was essential to negotiate with the interlocking of socio-linguistic plurality, ethnicity-based cultural diversity, growth of strong Hindu nationalism, religious hegemony despite the declared secularism of the Indian state, the swift growth of a capitalistic and market-based economy, migration, power politics, cast and class inequalities, lack of women empowerment as well as the sexuality and body politics characterizing the Indian social fabric. Moreover, on the basis of my own observation and work experiences in various states of India, I had a clear impression that true local cultures did not exist anymore. Life patterns had changed due to aggressive real-estate enterprises, land disputes and displacement, introduction of new technology, industrialization, global media, migration and urbanization, all based on the backdrop of colonially mediated Indian modernity. Metaphorically, it is reflected in the poem “Nargol,” by Gieve Patel: Walking to sea I carry A village, a city, the country For the moment On my back I kept all these aspects in my mind when entering into the adaptation of Peer Gynt. My understanding is that Ibsen’s text is far from a “satire on Norwegian egotism, narrowness, and self-sufficiency” as claimed by Ibsen’s contemporary, the Norwegian writer and social reformer Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. An interesting feature of the play is that throughout his journey Peer Gynt crosses borders and encounters other cultures. This makes a point of departure for re-examining the text within the frame of the sociocultural-political climate of present-day India. Furthermore, Ibsen’s text is complex, cryptic, ambiguous, and amorphous and therefore well suited to connect to the diversity of the present Indian reality. In the process of recreating Ibsen’s text, the crucial task was to demythologize and demystify Peer Gynt through the process of transculturation. The challenge was to create a balanced relationship between Ibsen’s text and major characteristics of the Indian socio-political and cultural context. Through this process, it was critical to maintaining the essence of Ibsen’s play, implying that major relationships between Ibsen’s characters remained but that the modes of these relationships were adjusted to the Indian context in general, not specifically to any of the states. This kind of transcultural adaptation requires a huge amount of negotiation and replacement. Images, symbols, and metaphors had to be replaced by Indian ones that express similar but not exactly the same meanings as in Ibsen’s text. The aim was to create a third – or liminal – space, which is “in between”. This is not only an aesthetic process but also a political process within the imaginative geography of Ibsen’s Peer Gynt. The notion of my process was thus connected to different temporality and materiality within the socio-cultural-political context of contemporary India. I tried to explore how this notion could benefit from Erika Fischer-Lichte’s concept of “interweaving”. The end result of this process is what she calls “transformative aesthetics”, which she regards as a new theatre aesthetic process. Central to my purpose was her claim that “a new theatre aesthetic through processes of interweaving performance cultures must be regarded as a political development”. To me, the concept of “interweaving” is a metaphor pointing to a continuous motion of inwards, outwards, inwards. Its fluid and dynamic character give space for collaborative and mutual exchange. This is because the characteristics of such operations can be synchronized to occur as in the correct sequence of threads without interfering or disturbing one another. It is like ‘The Weaving Cycle’. Such an encountering process is all about transportation, displacement, and replacement. It is a socio-political-cultural negotiation process. It is a game between co-existence of elements and materials, lots of elements and materials as well as inclusion of new elements and materials. The sensible selection and distribution of elements and materials along with their reasoning is what I would term ‘politics in aesthetics’. It is my reading as well as experience as a theatre director that the notion of “interweaving” is a useful theoretical roadmap for exploring cases where a text from one culture and time period is used in other settings. To me, the core of this notion is ‘cultural translation’ or ‘transculturation’. It is a matter of making a text meaningful to other audiences. The notion is to create an open space for disputable debates on human existence within a specific setting and sometimes within a global-political world. It involves merging and converging of socio-cultural materials through a political process. As Diana Taylor argues: Transculturation affects the entire culture; it involves the shifting of socio-political, not just aesthetic, borders; it modifies collective and individual identity; it changes discourse, both verbal and symbolic. The approach is based on assumptions about the relevance and potential impact of the performance itself. The concept of “interweaving performance cultures” thus implies examination from two perspectives. In Fisher Lichte’s words; “…both from the perspective of the artistic process that allows for their emergence in performance as well as from that of their ethical, social, and political implication in and beyond performance”. When I used the concept of interweaving cultures to demythologize and demystify Ibsen’s text and further to create the new performance text NativePeer, I entered into a process with two steps. The first step was the decontextualizing process, which implies displacement of time and space, including body and mind, from Ibsen’s textual corpus. The next step was the re-contextualizing process whereby a new corpus was created through negotiation and replacement within the context of the contemporary Indian modernization process. In order to create such a space, I decided to shift from Ibsen’s dramatic structure to the traditional South Asian dramatic structure, which is episodic. Particular features of the dramatic structure of Peer Gynt from the basis for such a shift. The typical dramatic structure of a modern western classical play is a linear process without any fragmentation. The dramatic structure of Peer Gynt, on the contrary, more closely resembles a frame narrative structure, implying that the structure is fragmented and that there are stories within the story and even stories about the story. In totality, it is for me a broken mirror image. I would suggest that the direction of Ibsen’s text moves from consistent(corresponding to acts I to III), to inconsistent(act IV), and further to hyper-inconsistent(act V). In my adaptation NativePeer, episode I is called “Folk Peer” and is based on Ibsen’s acts I to III. In this episode, Peer is placed in the countryside. The focus is on Peer’s fantasy and the transformation between dream and reality as well as on his self-centeredness and wildness. The direction of this episode is an increasing isolation from the local community. The essence of the storyline is thus the same as in Ibsen’s text but it is decontextualized into a postcolonial Indian rural setting with the notion of freedom. Episode II is a different story and deals with “Global Peer.” It is based on act IV of Ibsen’s play. This part required maximum negotiation in order to adjust with the contemporary Indian situation within the global world. “Global Peer” takes place in Mumbai due to its highly cosmopolitan characteristics, its status as the financial capital of India and its localization by the Arabian Sea. The character Global Peer is a capitalist with a strong wish to become a superstar in the Bollywood movies. Being a superstar in Bollywood is an entry ticket to political and economic power structures in contemporary India. Episode III, based on Ibsen’s act V, brings us back to the village. It is a double-faceted construction metaphorically linked to “Naked Peer,” that is, a man without a core identity, as well as to a body-soil association through Solveig, that deals with the purification of inner self and removes all the veils between divine and man. The concept of such “higher-self” or “pure self” was therefore transformed into the Sufi thought “Nafs” (self or ego), which applies Oneness through the metaphor of mirror. The transcultural adaptation of plays and the transfer of theoretical approaches and concepts to theatre practice is always a highly experimental endeavor. The core of the aesthetic of my production was communication with the audience with the help of Fischer-Lichte’s lens: “Theatre is to be regarded not only as an aesthetic, artistic space but also as a social, indeed political, one”.

We live side by side. We call them pests, vermins, #mprracoon, pets, … As a common human behaviour, we exterminate the ones we afraid of, and do everything to keep the ones we like around. The only thing we cannot do is to accept them as city-dwellers, just like us humans. We are probably too late to acknowledge that we are just another species dwelling here on this planet.

DSC_0127-ed DSC_0029-ed DSC_0087-ed DSC_0065-ed-1 DSC_0085-ed-1 UrbanitAs: Urban Animals as Other City-dwellers, Sweden Edition UrbanitAnimals. We live side by side. We call them pests, vermins, #mprracoon, pets, … As a common human behaviour, we exterminate the ones we afraid of, and do everything for keeping the ones we like around. The only thing we cannot do is to accept them as city-dwellers, just like us humans. Here I present you UrbanitAs: The Other City Dwellers aka Urban Animals. This is a photo series formed by the photos I took at different times and in several cities. I believe we are too late to acknowledge that we are just another species dwelling here on this planet. But, perhaps looking around while strolling on the streets and realising that we are already living with a bunch of others side by side even in the most human-made environment (aka cities) may change our perspective. I was in Sweden for a conference and visited Uppsala and Stockholm. This edition is dedicated to UrbanitAs living in (and mostly flying over ) these two cities of the North. BEAUTÉ BRUT: Preston Bus Station Completed in 1969 by Keith Ingham and Charles Wilson, a pair of architects working for British firm Building Design Partnership (now known as BDP), the 170-metre-long structure became the largest bus station in Europe and a poster child for the Brutalist style. The colossal scale of the structure – it boasts 40 gates for double-decker buses on both its east and west sides – is seen as both the building’s greatest feature and, by some, its failing. It faced demolition in 2013, following reports that a much-needed renovation could cost as much as £23 million due to the size of the project. But its popularity amongst both local residents and architects led to a heritage listing that blocked any future redevelopment of the site. (Dezeen) Now, as its renovation is completed, it’s plain that the bus station deserves to stand alongside the other robust civic masonry that Preston, like many industrial cities, boasts: the neo-Greek Harris Museum and Art Gallery; the Edwardian baroque Sessions House.

The centre is well served by the nearby Russell Square underground station. (academyofurbanism) Brunswick Centre The Brunswick Centre ile ilgili gÃ¶rsel sonucu The site was originally occupied by Georgian townhouses on the estate of the Foundling Hospital. During the mid 1950s this was bought by a private developer whose plan from the outset was to clear the site to make way for two 25-storey tower blocks containing luxury flats and retail. These proposals were resisted by the borough of Camden and the developer was recommended to the consult the renowned post-war architect Leslie Martin. He championed low rise development and maintained that an equal density of development could be achieved on the site with two parallel blocks. At this stage he handed the project to Patrick Hodgkinson to take forward. (academyofurbanism) Development commenced in 1967 and was finally completed in 1972. However, the original developer went bankrupt during construction and the project was sold to Sir Robert McAlpine construction. The housing element was bound into contractual obligations and completed as per the original design. After the 1964 general election, furnished tenants were given security of tenure, and Camden Council agreed to rehouse in social housing all existing tenants. (academyofurbanism) Brunswick Centre File:Inside the residential area of the estate.jpg The compound appeared in various popular media pieces such as in the movie The Passenger (1975) as Jack Nicholson visiting the centre and even the Finnish group Lodgers wrote a song for the Brunswick Centre.

Some statues mark their presence with a twist, and this is one of them: the statue of Duke of Wellington in Glasgow. The statue is a part of the cityscape and famous with its cone on top of it. The statue was erected in 1844. So, the story goes back some time. Not a definite one. It is not certain when the cone was first placed. But, one day, people of Glasgow woke up with a scene that an equestrian statue of a mighty Duke appeared to have a traffic cone on its head. The statue was listed one of the top ten most bizarre monuments on Earth by Lonely Planet (inews). The statue is loved by the public and the tourists that it has many appearances such as the one below: a replica of the statue erected in the opening ceremony of Glasgow’s 2014 Commonwealth Games. Lovely, isn’t it? Despite the statue’s popularity, the cone was removed and put back several times. The council even enacted some plans to end this tradition of putting the cone back. The plans were backfired, for obvious reasons. Who does not like a Duke with a cone? Why would it be another boring man with a horse? The council had said that raising the height would end a practice which projected a “depressing image” of Glasgow and would save the £10,000 cost of removing the cone 100 times a year. The scheme would have seen a new granite-clad concrete base of 86cm (34in) added to the memorial to raise its overall height. However, the council has reconsidered its decision after an online petition called “Save Wellington’s Cone”, which gathered thousands of signatories in just a few hours, and a Facebook campaign which had planned a rally in support of the cone. A council spokesman said: “The wording of the report was appalling and the leader of the council (Gordon Matheson) has instructed officers to withdraw the planning application.” (BBC) Also, as the campaigners state “The cone on Wellington’s head is an iconic part of Glasgow’s heritage, and means far more to the people of Glasgow and to visitors than Wellington himself ever has.” (BBC). Also, in the campaign, there are a couple of good points which may affect the council’s decision such as “does anyone really think that a raised plinth will deter drunk Glaswegians?”. Well, I agree with that! There is one point we are not quite sure: What would Duke Wellington think about this? Luckily we have historians! According to inews, Dudley-Edwards argues that “Wellington himself would have been amused by the practice and embodied the ‘keep it coney’ ethos” as “He liked to keep it real”. At the end of the day, the duke with a cone is a Rabelaisian act against mightiness of equestrian figures. While equestrian figures are usually associated with power and glorification of a person, the cone turns the statue into a human being again. It leaves you with a smile (and with a selfie apparently if you are visiting the city). Even better, the statue is located right in front of the Gallery of Modern Art as the second twist in this story. Yes, that is right. There is a classical equestrian statue right in front of a modern art gallery and it has a cone on the top of its head! Bonus: A rare shot of the statue without a cone, but with a seagull! img3-e1569586789770.jpg (Image Credit: inews / eveningtimes.co.uk) Cross Disciplinary Review of Placemaking Literature This literature mapping focuses on place-making literature and presents a cross-disciplinary cut of current literature. As part of the mapping process, ‘literature mapping’ is developed as a methodology to produce a broad literature mapping in a limited timeframe. This working paper presents the research methodology by discussing its development processes (comparing and contrasting available academic indexes, their limitations and strengths, and recommendations on their future use). The mapping reviews the aspects of place-making literature through related concepts, emerging trends, sub-fields and emerging research interests from various disciplines. The results show an extensive interest in various disciplines in place-making as a concept and in its various aspects, as well as demonstrating the increasing interest in urban design literature in social and perceptual aspects of design.

It’s more important than ever to understand how we live, work, and travel in our cities. Imagine you could know the most popular cycling route to work, the quality of air on your journey, or how pedestrians respond to weather. Through Glasgow in Motion, you can view and interact with data through time, to better understand movement and other factors that affect Glasgow residents every day. It is a great project which returns the collected data to the use of citizens after anonymizing it. The interactive map shows busy and popular routes for walking, running and cycling. The range of data presented goes back to 2013 and the mst recent data is from 2016. Check here for the details and exploring the interative maps. Measuring Magic: It is All About Love Dear! As folks of great Earth, Wind and Fire told us, it is All About Love, and Fred Kent of the Projects for Public Spaces cannot agree more! Places exude a kind of magnetism, a draw that brings people closer together—lovers and strangers, alike. Whether sharing a kiss, or simply sharing a bench, there are endless examples of closeness and affection all brought about by great public spaces. This affection isn’t just icing on the cake; it’s a basic human need. “It’s a big idea, affection,” observes PPS founder Fred Kent, “because it’s everywhere. Every community, every culture, every human being has a need for affection, for engaging with people, for connecting with people.” As our recent Healthy Places report reveals, social support and interaction provides important benefits to mental wellbeing and feelings of safety. Meanwhile, social isolation contributes to depression, stress, and can also undermine a community’s resilience in the face of disaster. But affection relies on a deep sense of comfort. People must feel physically and mentally at ease before they open up to show signs of love and friendship.

The trees and the birds And if there ain’t no beauty You gotta make some beauty Have mercy Listen to me, y’all Housing Placemaking: What is the value of design? We have started a new project on the value of urban design. See below a brief definition of the project published on CaCHE blog. The impact of housing and neighbourhood design quality on wellbeing is achieving increasing recognition (Klienert and Horton, 2016), but there is little evidence to back up these claims in a format that is useful to decision makers (Samuel et al., 2014). The UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE) is seeking to change this with a new strand of research on understanding and evidencing design value. The need for standardised design guidance and consistent design control across local authorities has been recognised, for example, with a recent consultation document on ‘planning for the right homes in the right places’ (UK Gov, 2017) and, more broadly, in the academic literature on design governance and placemaking (e.g. Carmona 2016; 2017; White 2015). Currently, decision makers suffer from an absence of coherent evidence to enable built environment professionals in the public and the private sector to make decisions about new housing and neighbourhoods… View original post 326 more words How Utopia Became a Real Estate Leaflet? When it comes to gated communities, recurrences of similar everyday life images and spatial representations in mass media form a discourse of the future everyday life. It depicts an ideal living environment that aligns neoliberalization with an idealization of private urban services, commodified forms of housing production, enclave living and exclusiveness, as well as the glorification of consumerism. This aligns with neoliberalism’s “pervasive effects on ways of thought to the point where it has become incorporated into the common-sense way many of us interpret, live in, and understand the world” since the 1970s (Harvey, 2007, p. 3). Understanding the role of this discourse in the imagining and producing of future everyday life in cities is critical for the production of urban space in the future and for the role of utopian thinking. In this respect, a critical investigation of the representation of future everyday life in housing developments would provide some insight on these issues. This particular case study focuses on mass media representations of the branded housing projects developed in Istanbul, which provide some clues.

The Swiss design duo won the 2001 Pritzker Prize, making them the architectural equivalent of Nobel laureates. American Pritzker winners include Frank Gehry, whose signature buildings twist and shout, and I.M. Pei, famous for the boldly angular East Wing of the National Gallery in Washington. Herzog & de Meuron are a more refined and subtle pleasure. Two of their most celebrated projects -- the Eberswalde Technical School Library (1999) in Germany and the Dominus winery building (1998) in California's Napa Valley -- are as rectangular as a K-Mart. Discovering why these buildings are, nevertheless, occasions for architectural celebration is just one good reason to visit the Herzog & de Meuron exhibition currently at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal. Another reason is the nature of the exhibition itself. If this had been a typical museum show about a famous architectural firm, it would have included lots of models and photographs showing how the Eberswalde building is enlivened by a concrete-and-glass faCade consisting entirely of oddly juxtaposed photos from old newspapers -- e.g., a boy looking with wonder at a toy train, and East Germans, in the early days of the Berlin Wall, trying to escape to the west. But curator Philip Ursprung has opted out of the standard show-and-tell. Yes, there's a model of the Dominus winery project -- albeit consigned to a corner of the exhibition -- where one can plainly see how the building has replaced conventional outside walls with loose stones held in place by chicken wire. But this model is here simply because it happened to be among the items Ursprung discovered when he scoured the firm's headquarters for objects that might relate to what Herzog & de Meuron think and do. Hence the exhibition's subtitle -- "Archaeology of the Mind" -- and hence the show's unapologetic challenge to visitors accustomed to spoon-fed insights about art and culture. Ursprung's purpose was to "act as if we were archaeologists from the future who have uncovered the architects' studio." "Our models and experiments with materials are not works of art but rather a kind of accumulated waste," explains a written statement attributed to Herzog & de Meuron themselves. "We have opened our archives like a chamber of wonders and transferred them to the museum. Since architecture itself cannot be exhibited, we are compelled to find such substitutes for it." Much of what is displayed can best be described as experiments -- a particular material, way of working with a material, or building shape assembled for testing and study, juxtaposed against various images and objects that inspired and informed the designers. The exhibit includes copper sheets with holes punched in them, a self-portrait of Andy Warhol, pieces of glass embedded in concrete. There's a house built of railroad ties and paper cutouts that resemble Japanese lanterns, but in fact relate to the architects' design for an addition to the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Archaeology in the studios of lesser architects would not prove as interesting. But Herzog & de Meuron have placed themselves at the junction of art, science, culture and commercialism. Sample panels illustrate the experimental process -- similar to the method for silk-screening T-shirts -- by which they superimposed photographs onto concrete at the Eberswalde library. Nearby, the viewer learns that the intriguing photographs reproduced in this manner were selected by artist Thomas Ruff, a frequent collaborator. The Warhol image testifies to an earlier use of photography in architecture: mug shots of "most-wanted" fugitives that Warhol initially placed on the outside of a pavilion at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. (They were quickly painted over to avoid lawsuits.) The commercialism evident here is central, if not crucial; many architects of this stature unabashedly refuse to do commercial projects. Some of Herzog & de Meuron's most pleasing projects, by contrast, are in the industrial and retail sectors. One example is Herzog & de Meuron's Prada store now under construction in Tokyo. Prada's top-of-the-line brand identity is somewhat bound up with Pritzker-level architecture. Its New York store, designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, features undulating floors. Herzog & de Meuron's Tokyo version is all diamonds -- on the surface, in the shape of the structural elements, and in the geometry of the building itself. At the Montreal show, a plethora of models in various materials reveals how the architects played with this idea through dozens of iterations. Even more compelling is the exhibition's video evidence of what Herzog & de Meuron have done at the Auf dem Wolf railyard in their home city of Basel. Architects love to talk about site-specific design, but that usually means creating a building in resonance with a woodland, seashore or grand city boulevard. Video screens at the CCA reveal an equally satisfying, and more difficultly wrought, kind of resonance: Locomotives pound their way into and out of the tough-looking barn the architects built for them; workers tightly wind a copper strip around the signal tower, designed to evoke the bulky metal signaling devices used before everything went digital. Some skepticism about the Herzog & de Meuron show is probably justified, given the state of the profession at the world-class level. Many celebrity architects, such as Koolhaas, the American Peter Eisenman and Germany's Daniel Libeskind -- one of two finalists for the World Trade Center rebuilding -- have achieved fame and fortune not by winning actual commissions, but by exhibiting their ideas in museums and classrooms. These are usually at an Ivy League school with a graduate architecture program. Wealthy institutional clients then come calling, and the resulting buildings are only sometimes great. Herzog & de Meuron are not playing this game, however, even if they seem to be using a museum show to advance lofty notions about art and culture. The world will soon forget all the blob-like Gehry models displayed last year at the Guggen-heim in New York. Now in serious financial trouble itself, that museum recently cancelled plans to build just such a blob-like annex on the East River. Far more likely to endure is the compelling image of the Dominus winery, on display at the CCA, that photographer Jeff Wall captured for the museum. Wall, incidentally, is an artist, not a commercial photographer. He only agreed to visit the Napa Valley if the CCA would pay him and risk his returning with nothing he was willing to show. The gamble paid off: Wall's huge photo shows the low, dark building as a distant element in a landscape of hills and trees. In the foreground is the vineyard itself, dormant, with the individual vines resembling a grid of crucifixes. Like any such geometrical arrangement, this stark checkerboard of bare flora creates diagonal pathways, one of which leads to a rectangular entrance that slashes all the way through the winery building. Perfectly communicated in Wall's photo is the manner in which the stone-covered structure bridges the spiritual gap between the natural setting of the winery and the extensive human intervention required to turn grapes into wine. It takes some work on the part of the viewer to receive and process this communication, as well as the others Ursprung intended in this exhibition. Making that sort of demand on visitors seems to be part of the CCA's overall curatorial philosophy. There are reasons this institution calls itself a "centre" rather than a museum. Accordingly, in lieu of the usual gift shop with flashy merchandise, the CCA has a serious bookshop. You might call the institution -- and its current exhibition -- a triumph of substance over marketing. m The Canadian Centre for Architecture is at 1920 rue Baile, Montreal.

Are you fascinated by the structure and intricacies of high-rise buildings with a zeal for creating something different? Well, if you’re looking to leave your mark in modern society, then you might be better off becoming an architect. Like most professions, architecture requires passion, and with society changing at a rapid pace, it’s necessary to make buildings that meet modern standards. We’re not only referring to the layout, but the times demand that you’ve to prove yourself at various steps along the ladder to qualify as an architect. It’s an intricate profession that needs several qualifications, but there’s no reason to be overwhelmed. To help you, we’ve narrowed down all the steps that one must follow to make it as an architect. Along with enthusiasm, you need to know everything you’re expected to do, academically and experience-wise, allowing you to plan accordingly. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the world of building plans and blueprints. Basics Of Architecture Why marketers in architecture fail and how to fix that 3 What Does Architecture Entail? As an architect, you’ll be involved in making numerous structures from hospitals to government buildings and, of course, civilian households. Designing a building consists of a series of detailed steps, and you’ve to consider numerous factors like safety, legal concerns, and the practicality of construction at any particular spot. Furthermore, you’ve to be involved in every step and act as the connecting link from the time the plan is conceived until it’s brought to fruition. No surprises then, that you should be ready to burn the midnight oil because meeting deadlines along with the quality of work is essential to uphold your reputation as an architect. For people to trust you, you can’t afford to be complacent. But that’s true of any profession, so there’s no need to be worried. There are, however, specific skills that one needs to cement their place in the world of architecture. Firstly, you must have strong communication skills, backed up by a penchant for critical thinking. It’s essential to mention that you need to be organized to handle all the steps effectively. Moreover, it’s vital to be visually aware of replicating the blueprint in actuality. To do that, you’ve to have a working knowledge of the latest technology being used and the tools for your purpose. It’s best to be well prepared rather than expect others to teach you how to operate modern machinery. How Much Do Architects Earn? We’re sure one of the first questions that comes to mind is related to the pay architects receive. On average, you may get close to $89,560, but the figure is likely to vary because it’s determined based on people who regularly handle projects. When you start, you’ll have to work for long hours without any substantial pay and, therefore, you need to be prepared to grind it out. Like most jobs, no one’s going to pay you the big bucks right at the outset. You’ll have to work your way through several lesser paid projects before landing the first big paycheck. How to make money as an architect 1 Academic Qualifications Required Now, coming to the academic requirements, you’ll have to get a bachelor’s degree in architecture from any institute accredited to the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). The course lasts for five years, at the end of which you’ll earn a degree termed as Bachelor of Architecture. Moreover, more than 100 colleges offer the course, so you don’t need to worry. As part of the program, you’ll learn about producing systems and technology, managing projects, planning for the environment, and supervising the various structural elements. Meanwhile, you can also enroll in various competitions that are specifically targeted towards students in architecture. One of these competitions is hosted by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, which presents a good platform for kick-starting your career. Most of these competitions have a theme and require participants to think out of the box. It promotes innovative thinking and offers an insight into what you can expect in the field. Besides, you get to meet top professionals who know what it takes to succeed, and they offer the necessary inputs to help you improve. And at the end of the competition, you can add experience to your resume and showcase your work during interviews. Another factor to keep in mind is that the bachelor’s degree requires a candidate to have at least 150 credit hours in professional and elective studies. Similarly, if you choose to pursue a Master’s degree in the field, then the credit hours increase to 168, out of which 30 must be at the graduate level. For further studies, you can opt for a doctorate or Doctor of Architecture, which requires 120 credit hours at the undergraduate level and 90 hours at the graduate level. But there’s no need to feel burdened as the course at various universities will ensure you meet all the requirements. How can architects be better marketers today 5 How To Gather Experience? Before you can become a licensed architect, it’s necessary to gather the relevant experience, which is made possible by the Intern Development Program (IDP). It’s catered to help amateur architects acquire the required work experience by involving them in multiple projects. It aims to promote learning and development, but the program is also mandatory to become a professional architect. Most states require you to complete the IDP program before receiving your license to work in that respective state. Moreover, what’s crucial is that in keeping with contemporary times, the IDP program isn’t one-dimensional but requires you to develop your skill in various aspects. It helps one to become an independent architect by imbibing the requisite knowledge and expertise. In that regard, professionals’ advice comes in handy with every student being supervised by a senior architect. In some cases, you may also be guided by an expert from another field. Meanwhile, as you start working with architectural firms, you learn how to turn your education into practical knowledge. You get the first-hand experience of what it’s like to work in the industry, and interns usually deal with designing, preparing documents, or researching building codes, among other things. In case you’re wondering about the duration, let us tell you the internship is complete only after 5600 working hours in the field over 17 different categories. It may sound like a lot, but it speaks about the all-encompassing nature of the course. You’ll be required to document your work timings, which will be evaluated by the supervisor and finally requires his signature to be passed off. Likewise, the National Board evaluates the performance regularly, so you’ll have to deliver consistently. There are two ways in which you can report your experience – either on an hourly basis or through the Architectural Experience Program (AXP) Portfolio. The hourly basis requires candidates to file their assessment, based on the different areas, within the stipulated time. On the other hand, the AXP Portfolio is for designers who have already gathered at least five years’ worth of experience. Within the portfolio, one is required to submit documents, images, or even PDFs that highlight your completion of the tasks listed in the AXP. Tips to promote architectural design businesses 2 What’s The Architecture Registration Exam? The Architecture Registration Exam has been broken down into seven different segments and is compulsory for you to become licensed. The various parts involve seven formats, and you also get multiple graphs and choices as part of the curriculum. We loved the structure because it allows you to take the exam at your own suitable time. After your preparation is complete, you get to decide when you want to clear the papers rather than having to follow a strict schedule. It usually takes a person close to 2-1/2 years to complete the process, but some candidates are confident enough to complete it within a year. Furthermore, it evaluates various aspects of your learning, and throughout the seven papers, you get tested extensively. It’s essential to keep your cool and have the relevant information in mind, thereby making the jump from architectural schools quite massive. Consequently, be ready to put in the long hours because handling all the different aspects is challenging for most candidates. If you need more help, you can try reading the book – How To Pass The Architecture Registration Exam. It provides a comprehensive idea of what you’re up against and helps students plan accordingly to take the necessary steps towards success. Receiving And Maintaining Certification After you complete the exam, you’ve to submit the requisite documents. It should have details regarding the number of working hours along with the clearance of the ARE. After that, it’s over to the states, in which case the procedure varies from one place to another. You’ll need to call up your registration board to learn about the process, but one thing’s certain: you may need to sit for more exams and interviews. However, receiving the certification is one thing; the next question is, how do you maintain it? The only way you can renew your license is by continuing to earn credits via education. Depending on the state, you’ll have to dedicate a certain number of hours that show your ongoing education, which is required to be presented at an interval of one or two years. The reason it’s important is it helps you stay updated with the latest trends. It is pivotal to keep track of what’s going on, and knowledge about modern technologies ensures the profession doesn’t stagnate. Moreover, you get incredible variety in your choices with the National board allowing you to learn about fire safety, architectural acoustics, and energy-conscious architecture. A 2 What’s The Latest In Architecture? As the world expands, so does the need to stay relevant, and architecture is no different. You get to choose from several areas to study for your architecture degrees, and one of the hottest trends right now is green technology. With the world moving towards efficient energy sources of production, architecture has developed something called sustainable design. It ensures that buildings meet modern standards and permit healthy living that will benefit the environment in the long run. As a result, anyone who knows green design will have a distinct advantage over others in the field. It’s a promising area to work in, and most architectural firms that accept you as a partner will more often than not look for qualities that make you stand out. The firm will improve if you specialize in the latest trends while, in return, it’ll provide the much-needed fillip to your career. Final Words We’ve reached the end of our guide, and hopefully, you’ve got a better idea about becoming an architect. It involves several steps, so we suggest you take your time and go through all of them to make an informed decision. It’s also essential to have a clear idea of the field you want to study in and then gather information about the state’s policy. It may appear cumbersome, but we assure you it’s not that difficult. So, all the best and take care. Bye! Related Articles Is Being An Architect Worth It?

Breathtaking and colorful, the performances were greeted with standing ovations, clapping and cheer. “Beautiful,” “Gorgeous,” “Wonderful,” “Phenomenal,” were some words that escaped Jan Pardonnet after the performance. She attended Shen Yun on the opening night with her husband. “It was not what I thought it was going to be. In a very good way I was surprised. [Shen Yun] told stories and I didn’t expect that,” she said. “I loved it! I loved it very much.” New York-based Shen Yun is an independent, non-profit performing arts company. Through the universal language of dance and music, Shen Yun brings stories and legends to life, celebrating the riches of Chinese culture with millions around the world. ‘The China that I always thought of since I was a kid’ Retired aerospace business manager Don Gerner felt Shen Yun “shows the China that I always thought of since I was a kid, not the China that you see in the news today.” His wife, Irene Gerner, concurs. “The China that we used to read when we were children. The stories of the warriors and the conquering of the different things. The tribulations and trials they had to go through, and how the people ended up winning.” According to Shen Yun’s program book, “Shen Yun’s production draws its inspiration from China’s 5,000 years of civilization. Values such as compassion and loyalty, kindness and bravery lie at the heart of traditional Chinese culture. We believe this heritage is a precious gift worth keeping, and worth sharing with all of you.” The couple said they would absolutely recommend other people to come see Shen Yun. “A must see. You have to come see it to understand it and to see the beauty and hear the stories. I think each one takes something different from it,” said Mrs. Gerner. ‘That spiritual touch’ Robin Repp is a photographer and art teacher. With more than 35 years of exploring various photography methods, her current works employ digital infrared photography to document landscapes, exploring themes of anticipation, and the unknown. She was most impressed with the interactivity of Shen Yun’s digital animated backdrops. “You really get sucked into the visual part of it,” she said. Shen Yun’s digital animated backdrops are remarkably intricate and true-to-life, allowing the audience to suspend reality to journey to another place and time. The stage and backdrop become one, and characters are free to move about wherever they please. “I didn’t realize [they] would have that fun animation in the background. I felt the movement. I was following the little character going off into the landscape or coming back in and you really feel it, that was one of the best parts, I think. That was a surprise,” she added. Ms. Repp says the visual aspects were one thing, but there was so much more to it. “It’s a wonderful combination of music and dance and fantasy and animation and art and the stories and the spiritual part, it’s such a combination,” she said. “I thought it was just going to be a visual experience, and it was just that little bit of magical underpinning sort of touching you on another level that you weren’t expecting. I think there is a spiritual undertone, a little moral in the story, a little fable—that spiritual touch,” she added. ‘Beauty and awe’ Her daughter, Brooke Barnes, a model and actress, described an overall feeling of “beauty and awe” and was moved to tears by what she saw. “It was amazing, visually stimulating for sure. Definitely very different from anything that I’ve seen. I enjoyed it,” she said. She was touched by how Shen Yun portrayed Chinese culture. “I think it’s beautiful the way that they portrayed it. Definitely touching, it made me cry at one point, it was so beautiful,” she said. Ms. Barnes was particularly touched by the dance Sleeves of Grace, which featured gentle maidens gliding on a lotus pond, creating ethereal patterns in the air with their silken sleeves. “That one was beautiful, that was beautiful. It was visually just the most beautiful thing I think. I don’t know why it made me cry. It was just beautiful,” she said. This reflects a style of classical Chinese dance widely known as a “water sleeves dance,” because the sleeves flow around the dancers like water. It has a history longer than that of Western ballet. The Shen Yun website explains: “Intrinsic to classical Chinese dance are the concepts of bearing and form—the beautiful dance movements bring out an inner meaning. For Shen Yun dancers, inner beauty and grace are cultivated along with the outer qualities.” Formed in 2006, Shen Yun has grown rapidly to four companies, each featuring some 100 performers. As a part of its 2015 world tour, the four companies will visit more than 100 cities in five continents. Reporting by NTD Television and Mimi Nguyen Ly New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has four touring companies that perform around the world. For more information, visit ShenYunPerformingArts.org. Epoch Times considers Shen Yun Performing Arts the significant cultural event of our time. We have proudly covered audience reaction since Shen Yun’s inception in 2006.

Spokesman Gary Willis said: “This year, we extended our annual October festival into September to take part in Coastal Currents and coincide with the Turner Prize at Towner in Eastbourne. “With the generous support of St Andrews Mews, Hastings, we are showing individuals and groups throughout September and October, a great opportunity to promote contemporary photography. A full diary means a fortnightly cycle of exhibitions, titled Mews 1 to Mews 4. Hide Ad Hide Ad “We also stepped into new territory by presenting a morning of film shorts at The Electric Palace, organised by Jude Montague and Matt Armstrong, earlier in September. “Now in October we will also be showing for four weeks at Electro Studios Project Space and Hastings Arts Forum, as well as presenting five wonderful Photology talks at The Pig with Alexander Brattell. As ever more events slot in as the festival develops, check out www.phothastings.org “Of particular interest is the collective group show Here, not there in Mews 3 week, October 5-8 and October 12-15, 11am to 5pm.” It offers showcase of varied approaches, from observations, travel documentary, to contemporary discourse and installations with works by Dan Percy, Imogen Bloor, Neale Willis, Derek Cottrell and Gary Willis. Hide Ad Hide Ad “Using the theme of Here, not there, we have all come up with different, interesting interpretations while using the unique flow of the St Andrews Mews gallery space of seven interconnected rooms. “First up, in room 1, we have Imogen Bloor. Using the room’s decay and antique fireplace to full effect, it showcases photographs of loss, here, not there; details of her mother-in-law’s house, taken after she died in 2008. Imogen recalls she was complicated and memorable.” “We then follow some quiet music into room 2 where Derek Cottrell and Gary Willis have combined atmospheric, abstract and non-narrative photography to their love of jazz, specifically ECM Records.” Through a sari covered door Gary Willis visually assaults the senses with Indian Walks and other stories: “Photographs and photo sequences are packed in. If you’ve ever smelt the aromas or been deafened by the noise, perhaps these snaps will evoke some memories or transport you there if you’ve never been. Everywhere magic at every turn. And now it’s here, not there. Hide Ad Hide Ad “Rooms 4 and 5 brings us back home to modern life with Neale Willis reflecting on the conflict of expectations between what enters the machine and what leaves it. Neale’s work crosses a variety of mediums from sound and sculpture to image and video often bringing a twist to the mechanical or mundane. Heading back, through rooms 6 and 7, we discover Dan Percy’s collection of new work created especially for this show and indeed the rooms. Taken while renovating an empty house, his photographs of wall sockets and old landline telephone handsets are set eerily in these empty, undecorated rooms.

They met by candlelight, because Black’s electricity had been cut off, and sat on fruit boxes stolen from Covent Garden market. The gathering was inspired by a chance encounter on the boat back from the USSR between Clifford Rowe, a painter struggling to reconcile his socialist convictions with his artistic practice, and Pearl Binder, the artist daughter of Russian-Jewish immigrants. Binder had been in Moscow to show her images of London working-class life at the Museum for Modern Western Art – an honour for a woman – while Rowe had gone to see something of the place American Communist friends had told him about. On the last day of his intended week-long visit he saw his own posters for the Communist book shop in London on display in the Foreign Workers’ Publishing House. They gave him a job and he stayed for 18 months. Rowe had gone looking for something – and he believed he had found it; not only a political system but a model of future practice for artists. He left only because ‘they did not really need me. The class struggle was really going on back in England.’ He envisioned a unified organisation of artists in London, like New York’s John Reed Club, which would work to counter the despondency that had set in after the 1931 election, not least among artists themselves. The national government was pursuing extreme economic policies: deflation and unpopular cuts to unemployment pay. Factories stood empty. Oswald Mosley’s party had just announced themselves as the British Union of Fascists. Anxiety over the seemingly entwined plights of society and art was expressed in the pages of magazines like The Listener, where Kenneth Clark and Herbert Read argued over the merits of Cubism, Superrealism (Surrealism), and academy painting, but for younger artists and art students the concerns were personal and pressing: a sense of responsibility to each other, and to the working class, a desire to create art that could speak to the common life of men and women, and the difficulty of surviving given those conditions. Black wrote later of ‘the feeling that the political situation was becoming intolerable’. Hitler was ascending, the depression ‘hung over us all’. Britain’s manufacturing production had never recovered its 1913 levels, while the numbers of unemployed – millions of people – stayed above 10 per cent even through the 1920s. Hunger marches took place in London in 1922, 1929, 1930, and the biggest of them all in 1932. Hunger marchers in Hyde Park Hunger marchers in Hyde Park (1939), James Boswell. © Estate of James Boswell Young artists, who hoped for patronage and influence, found themselves on the wrong side of their times, the glamour of their profession fading in the face of economic decline. Their experience – and few of the AIA artists were from well-off families – was of deprivation; like Orwell they could say ‘economically I belong to the working class’. Those who made any money made it from their commercial work – designs for posters and book jackets. It was very far from the days when professional standing meant a reliable income, when the Victorian painter Augustus Egg, on hearing he had been made a Royal Academician, leapt into a cab shouting, ‘My fortune’s made! My fortune’s made!’ James Boswell (1906–71), a native of New Zealand who had come to London to study at the RCA, recalled the happy contrast of the Second World War when it came bringing commissions and a social forum for art, compared with the ‘less prosperous days; remembering the difficulty of making ends meet between the wars […] remembering the long trudge from studio to agency to get the job that was going to pay the rent’. William Townsend, who became the Euston Road School’s landscape painter, despaired of making rounds of galleries and art editors, seeking commissions and ending up ‘in the ranks of the unemployed’. Yet the AIA weren’t explicitly concerned with promoting fine arts. In their manifesto, published in 1934, they described their ambition to counter ‘imperialist war on the Soviet Union, and Fascism and colonial oppression’ by providing graphic materials: posters, illustrations, cartoons, book jackets, and so on. Their intentions, initially, were purely propagandic. James Holland, a founding member, thought the ‘only realistic course’ was to ‘discredit a system that makes art and culture dependent on the caprices of the money markets’, preferable to ‘continuing to paint until overtaken by starvation’ or giving up altogether. Although many members sensed that the broken dialogue between artists and the public would see a turn to realism, painting was not prioritised over other forms – photography, drawing, printmaking – nor the canvas and gallery over the banner, pamphlet or magazine. The notion of ‘fine arts’, indeed of ‘artist’, was troublesome. Even among those who would shortly after find their way back to painting, there was a lack of confidence. William Coldstream wrote that the slump ‘caused an immense change in our general outlook […] I became convinced that art ought to be directed to a wider public; whereas all ideas which I had learned to regard as artistically revolutionary ran in the opposite direction.’ Many were running as far as they could from the conventions and theories of the previous generations. James Boswell left the RCA twice during his studies in the late 1920s, the second time for good. ‘You can have no idea how provincial and awful London was,’ he later wrote. ‘Painting was dreary, academic and rubbishy.’ The writer Montagu Slater remembered meeting him in 1929, walking through Regent’s Park, wearing a shepherd’s scarf and carrying a large rocking chair. Slater found him an intriguing and contradictory figure: an art student who was also proudly colonial; a lover of romantic folk tunes and dirty music-hall songs given to desperate prophecies about world crisis and the fall of the Roman Empire; a man who would abandon painting for his political convictions, yet work for Shell (where he was the star of their publicity department in the late 1930s) in order to support his family. Hatton Garden luncheon Hatton Garden luncheon, for ‘Left Review’ (November 1934), James Boswell After his second departure from art school, Boswell studied under Freddie Porter for some time but in 1932 he stopped painting altogether, deciding to focus on the graphic arts. With two other Jameses – James Fitton and James Holland – they formed the graphic core of the AIA, whose membership had swelled from a nascent 32 to almost 1,000 by 1936, though most of those exhibited with the AIA out of political feeling – Laura Knight, Henry Moore – without making the struggle their primary subject. The AIA expanded as the political moment grew more pressing (the Spanish Civil War galvanised many artists around the association), though those near the centre would still draw the distinction between ‘free artists’ and those like them who were ‘engaged’ or ‘in the struggle’. The AIA’s first exhibition, ‘The Social Scene’, was held in a Charlotte Street showroom in 1934, and included paintings, photographs, and satirical cartoons. Boswell exhibited his picture of hunger marchers protesting against the Means Test in Hyde Park. He’d attended the demonstration two years previously, but in what would become his trademark style, the event is seen obliquely: in the foreground a man examines his shoe. Herbert Read was scathing about the quality of the work, but offered to give them a lecture on abstract art (the AIA was used to condescension, and he wasn’t entirely wrong about the standard of painting). Politically, the artists were attacked from both sides. Left Review accused them of showing more feeling for the political movement than for the working class itself; the Catholic Herald denounced the show as nothing more than propaganda, to which Eric Gill responded by calling for recognition of all art as propaganda: ‘Art which is not propaganda is simply aesthetics, and is consequently entirely the affair of cultured connoisseurs. It is a studio affair, nothing to do with the common life of men and women.’ The three Jameses turned to satire and illustration as democratic means of representing and critiquing politics and everyday realities. Mass media, which for them meant magazines, allowed their work to be widely and cheaply disseminated at little cost to the public, and the documentary spirit of the times offered a new conception of a socially useful form of art. If the artist needed to efface himself, he could be closer to the camera or the film reel; if all art was propaganda he could make himself the instrument of good. The AIA members confidently chose radical politics rather than radical aesthetics; their slogan at one point ran ‘Conservative in art and radical in politics’. Conservative in art didn’t mean entirely conservative in subject matter – depicting art’s usual subjects unflatteringly and its less usual thoughtfully was still subversive – but they were suspicious of European avant-gardes, preferring the social realism that was taking hold in America, or the German Neue Sachlichkeit of Otto Dix and George Grosz. Boswell, along with other AIA artists, attended James Fitton’s lithography class at the Central School of Art. The group met three times a week to learn the craft but also to talk politics. The two aspects met happily: lithography meant Daumier, for a start, a representative of social reportage as great art, of shabbiness made aesthetically interesting, as well as an atmospheric medium for representing a grimy city, overcast with smoke and fog. Theirs was not the city of Feliks Topolski’s London Spectacle (1935) with its ironic illustration of lofty ladies and gentlemen, but the London of Patrick Hamilton’s 1941 novel Hangover Square, where train stations smell of apples and magazines and on the street the steady evening rain promises dissolution between the passionless faces and the passage of buses. In 1933 Boswell printed a series of eight lithographs. The Fall of London shows a desolate city, where small ineffectual figures struggle through squalor, darkness and anarchy, the urban landscape forbidding and distorted. Originally intended as illustrations for a book imagining a fascist invasion, Boswell’s images are more ambiguous and unsettling even than that. They point to fracture within as well as threat from beyond. By drawing on the lithography stone in thick crayon, Boswell used the process to get a dense sticky texture, and rich depths of black. The prints are half in shadow, and the shafts of light are no less disturbing, suggesting flashlights around corners, fire or electric catastrophe; illuminating the splayed bodies of the dead while blinding the living. A decade before the Blitz, Boswell conjured a fearful image of the city half-destroyed and panic-stricken. It’s almost unrecognisable, and – unusually for Boswell – there are no individuals among the mass and mobs, no clear distinction between countryman and enemy. As in his later images of the war itself, he disdains sentiment. The Surrealist Exhibition The Surrealist Exhibition, for ‘Left Review’ (July 1936), James Boswell In 1935 Left Review ran his caricature of three of His Majesty’s Servants – government agents rendered as the shadiest of criminals – against Edith Tudor-Hart’s photograph Sedition? of a plain-clothes policeman openly recording a political meeting. Both directly attacked the 1934 Sedition Bill, which limited many aspects of public expression; Boswell’s image responds to the photograph, which infuriates the viewer, with a satire that derides its subject. In 1936 Left Review published 50,000 copies of ‘It’s Up to Us’, a pamphlet for peace designed by Fitton, Boswell, and Holland and inspired by Heartfield and Kurt Tucholksy’s 1929 Deutschland, Deutschland über alles project – uniting photomontage, quotations, and statistics to protest against government blindness to dangers at home and abroad. Left Review survived for only a few years – from 1934 to 1938. During that time it was remarkable for allowing its cartoonists a full 16 pages of the magazine to pillory the establishment and promote their causes. Boswell’s subject was always the class enemy. To the first edition he contributed a scene of grim-faced businessmen stuffing their faces in Hatton Garden. It’s clearly indebted to Grosz, whose work was exhibited at the Mayor Gallery under the title ‘Social Satires’ that year: the disproportionate heads, areas of sudden dark shading, and use of feathery scratch and dot. But Boswell’s images are never quite as ferocious as Grosz’s; his indignation tempered by a greater sympathy for humanity, which renders it pitiful, rather than Grosz’s tendency to project self-loathing and complicity. In 1936 Boswell scorned the opening of the Surrealist Exhibition by mocking both its detractors and supporters. His drawing shows a crowd entering the exhibition, dressed up for the occasion and frozen in complete befuddlement. Over the image he pasted Herbert Read’s warning commendation: ‘Do not judge this movement kindly. It is not just another amusing stunt. It is defiant – the desperate act of men too profoundly convinced of the rottenness of our civilization to want to save a shed of its respectability.’ It’s a neat juxtaposition – the helpless silly crowd, the sententious critic – both a case of the emperor’s new clothes, according to Boswell. Of the three Jameses, Boswell showed the greatest tendency to Rowlandsonian scabrousness in his drawings, and all had a taste for the absurd, which occasionally veered towards whimsy: their 1936 calendar declared them ‘A Triple Alliance against the Absurdities and Hypocrisies of the Existing Scheme of Things whose Shameless Intention is to Pillory and never to Please’. J. Parr Stores J. Parr Stores (1937), James Boswell. © Estate of James Boswell Their attempt to reanimate the dwindling British tradition of social satire led to their association with the hugely popular magazine Lilliput, Graham Greene’s short-lived Our Time and the quarterly story magazine Seven, as well as the Daily Worker and the Daily Mirror. Good taste, they declared, was the enemy, for having ‘reduced English cartooning to emasculated illustration and religious hysteria’, yet formally all three remained closer to classic cartooning and caricature, albeit with expressionist flourishes, than the extreme vaudeville of Americans like Mabel Dwight and Carl Hoeckner, or the near Cubism of Boris Gorelick’s Sweat Shop (1938). Yet perhaps because of this their characters remained much more individual, more animated by their private concerns rather than simply types, even if their part in the drama requires a stock figure. Boswell excelled in his animation of bowler-hatted middle managers, empire builders with slicked-back hair and the cosmeticised wives of bankers. Sometimes the ridiculous and the razor-sharp were allied to great effect. Beneath a 1935 article in Left Review on the press and mass hysteria, Boswell depicted an army major with a smoking machine gun for a face, next to a megaphone-headed press lord blasting out his diatribe, and a prim bishop topped by cross and skull. Despite a general incomprehension when confronted with the politics of surrealism, the humour of its literalisms and the possibility for visual storytelling and punning appealed to the British sensibility – it can be seen in Humphrey Jennings’ painting of a Swiss roll floating eerily over the alps, or Lilliput’s wonderful photographic juxtapositions: a picture of a lonely penguin opposite one of Lord Hankey, Minister without Portfolio, or a ripe pear opposite a jolly publican. It’s easy to see this popular appeal in Boswell’s spotty youths, pub bores and street scenes, just as one sees it in Edward Ardizzone’s darts players and soapbox pontificators. But drawings like Ardizzone’s are much cosier than Boswell’s scenes, which even in his book illustrations retain their pointed social observation: greedy eyes, shiftiness, flirtation, how a boy watches a dog who watches something we can’t discern, while something else altogether is going on. His families are just as likely to be tired, drinking, existing on the backs of train lines or selling their clothes from a wooden fence, as happily converging in undifferentiated decency. Much that Boswell and the AIA had feared for Europe came to pass and by the late 1930s, everyone was satirising fascism. But though the cause became common, the old hierarchies remained. The Everyman Print scheme launched by the AIA in January 1940 to provide affordable artwork to the masses (they were sold in shops not galleries) was commended by Kenneth Clark, but with a bite. The scheme, he said, also ‘enabled artists to become a little less high hat in their choice of subjects’. Perhaps he wasn’t entirely wrong to sneer – images of oppressed workers weren’t necessarily what workers wanted on their walls – but he was also commenting on the artists’s tendency to take their subjects from everyday life. Boswell’s Gitte Bisness, a market scene that became an Everyman Print, is full of his human touches: a tired woman sitting on a crate, a haggling pair having a stand off, a shady character in the background, two women on their way somewhere looking smart. His influential Hunger Marchers image became one too. Lorry in the Desert no.2, Iraq Lorry in the Desert no.2, Iraq (1943), James Boswell. © Estate of James Boswell Boswell and other core AIA artists didn’t make Clark’s War Artist cut, though in the end this worked in Boswell’s favour: as well as his editorial and artistic steermanship of the Army Bureau of Current Affairs pamphlets, he produced some of the most stark, violent, and irreverent images of conflict, savaging British officers in particular. His paintings and sketches of Iraq, where he was sent as a radiographer, some of which are collected in William Feaver’s book James Boswell: Unofficial War Artist, show bull-headed generals, ennui, the eeriness of the desert, and the mind-numbing, dehumanising constraint of it all. After the war much was achieved – the popular movement had paved the way for widespread endorsement of the ideals of the new Labour government – but it also preserved much that didn’t change: there was no revolution, no great social shift. The potential of the pre-war moment seemed to be lost. In 1947 Boswell wrote The Artist’s Dilemma, a short book which deplored the impossibility of making a living from painting and the necessity of commercial work that sapped the artist’s creativity. He resigned from Shell the same year and became art editor at Lilliput, where he gathered and nurtured such gently satirical talents as Paul Hogarth, Arthur Horner, Ronald Searle, and Gerald Hoffnung – and later had free rein at Sainsbury’s inhouse magazine. In 1964 he created the posters and propaganda for the Labour Party’s successful general election campaign, but otherwise moved further away from politics. He took up painting again.

Deeply human emotions such as love, jealousy, betrayal and arbitrariness are at the center of the action, making the opera a perennial favorite of opera literature. Puccini's intention with his "Tosca" was not to stir the audience, but to shake it up. "The mood of Tosca is not romantic and lyrical, but passionate, agonizing and gloomy. (...) Until now we were gentle, now we want to be cruel," he outlined in a letter to his librettist. At the Theater an der Wien, Burgtheater director Martin Kušej is now staging this "thriller of violence and great emotion" in a way that, he says, "has never been seen before." He is interested in concentrating on what Puccini has already laid out: "My goal is to transform Puccini's radical approaches into the 21st century. (...) Puccini's opera combines grandiose music with a brutal story in an incredibly direct way, which is what makes it so exciting. I don't think that has to be a contradiction, and that's what I want to tell. In addition, I have an interest in this singular work of the classical repertoire also because I think certain border crossings in the reception of opera are indispensable. We need to get right to the music, to the texts and to the settings." The Latvian soprano Kristīne Opolais, who also repeatedly crosses borders with her playing and with whom Martin Kušej has already successfully collaborated in Rusalka, is in his production as Floria Tosca in the crosshairs of politics and art, love and desire. Chilean tenor Jonathan Tetelman embodies the politically liberal-minded painter Mario Cavaradossi. Ingo Metzmacher is at the podium of the ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna. • Production Year: • Age rating: • Audio Language: • Subtitle Language:

Solipsism is the idea that we can only know for sure that our own minds exist and we can question anything that seems to exist outside of our minds, perhaps dismiss it as optical illusion. This performance piece analyzes the deep connections organisms have to each other, separating a bit but melding together in the end to create an endless cycle of creation and existence. The amount of mind-melting detail, costumes, precise performances and a few visual effects keeps the viewer guessing in anticipation. Intoxicating visuals and earthy sounds and tunes make the Solipsist film a soothing, yet slightly disturbing, ritualistic video that should not be missed.

Tanuki have been a part of Japanese folklore since ancient times and are one of the animal species that have traditionally been thought to have the power of shapeshifting (the others include foxes, badgers, wolves, spiders, some kinds of cats and dogs, and certain snakes). The most common form that the tanuki takes these days is the form of the famous shigaraki-yaki ceramic tanuki that comes standard with enormous eyes, huge testicles, a straw hat, and a sake flask. These ceramic tanuki can be found at the doorways of households, as in the shot above, but they are most commonly found outside of restaurants where they are used to advertise — with all their totemic rotundity — good food and lots of drink. The ceramic tanuki will often have the Japanese number eight (八) drawn on its sake flask, a number that putatively refers to the eight lucky virtues that the tanuki is said to represent. Wikipedia summarizes the eight virtues as follows: The eight traits are (1) a bamboo hat that protects against trouble, (2) big eyes to perceive the environment and help make good decisions, (3) a sake bottle that represents virtue, (4) a big tail that provides steadiness and strength until success is achieved, (5) over-sized testicles that symbolize financial luck, (6) a promissory note that represents trust, (7) a big belly that symbolizes bold decisiveness, and (8) a friendly smile. The tanuki are said to be mischievous creatures, perhaps a bit like the trickster-god Coyote, and I think there might be a bit of trickery at work with the description of the eight virtues given here; almost none of my Japanese friends views the tanuki in the way that has been presented above, a state of affairs that can easily be understood by thinking about the distinction between symbol and allegory. Traditionally, allegories have used images to represent a second level of meaning, though there’s not necessarily a direct relationship between the image itself and what it represents. A good example of this would be the sake bottle that the tanuki carries. There seems to be no obvious and immediate connection between sake and virtue (actually, quite the opposite would seem to be true), and in fact the only way we can know that the tanuki’s sake bottle represents virtue is by learning this information. Allegory is a system of meaning that is always culturally enforced at some level. A symbol, on the other hand, is thought to contain an organic connection between the idea that is represented and the image that represents it. A good example of this would be the image of broken chains that is commonly used to represent freedom. Since a person who is bound in chains literally becomes free when they break their chains and escape, there is an obvious and uncomplicated connection between the symbol itself and the second level of meaning it carries within it. Despite all of the allegorical claims to virtue, what the tanuki represents to most people on the symbolic level is mischief, boozing, gluttony, and perhaps a bit of licentiousness as well. Rather than representing virtue and courage, the sake bottle and the bulging stomach more immediately have come to stand in for the pleasures of eating and drinking. The promissory note that the tanuki carries may allegorically represent trust, but I think that most people will actually associate the note with all of the famous stories of tanuki paying for their feasts with money that later, mysteriously, turns out only to have been leaves painted with 円 signs. But the testicles, of course, are probably the most symbolically charged of the tanuki’s body parts. In the allegorical reading the testicles symbolize “financial luck,” but what I hear over and over again is that what the testicles represent is a warning to not be stingy with your money. In other words, when you go out eating and drinking you should lay out for your friends who have less, and you certainly shouldn’t refrain from ordering that one last glass of tasty 純米大吟醸日本酒 (high-grade sake) just because you want to save a little cash. The reason that the testicles are associated with money rests on a pun; in Japanese the testicles are euphemistically referred to as 金玉 (kin-tama), or “golden balls” — a bit like the English-language “family jewels” — and the tanuki’s sack gets the extra-special designation of 金袋 (kin-bukuro), or “money bags.” While the tanuki’s testicles may be symbolically related to luck and money, one of the most interesting aspects of this particular body part is the uses it’s put to in shapeshifting. Here’s a description — from the very excellent Obakemono Project site — of a few of the various forms that the kin-bukuro has taken: Of course the most infamous aspect of the tanuki‘s shapeshifting involves its testicles. By blowing air and pulling, the male raccoon dog can stretch his scrotum into a vast sheet exceeding eight tatami mats in size. Sometimes only exceptionally clever tanuki called mamedanuki are said to be able to do this. The tanuki in comic art is portrayed employing his expanded testicles in numerous ways – he may use them as a raincoat or a blanket, a boat or a blunt weapon, he may disguise them as another yōkai such as a rokuro-kubi or a tengu in order to frighten his fellow raccoon dogs, or he may even traipse through a landscape made up entirely of hairy, wrinkled scrotal skin. The mame-danuki in particular is said to transform its testicular expanse into rooms and invite humans in to do business, but often a lit cigarette dropped on the “floor” will break the illusion and send the revealed animal fleeing and yelping in pain. The tanuki is also said to be fond of coming out at dusk and drumming on its plump belly and distended kin-tama (“golden balls”), filling the night air with the deep hollow sound of pon-poko-pon. It’s often pointed out that the tanuki’s testicles are not an overt representation of sexual license, and I think this is probably mostly true. However, it’s not hard to see the interconnections between the concepts of transformation and transference, and a more accurate way to think about the relationship between lust and the tanuki’s kin-tama might be to imagine the erotic charge inherent in such a sexually overt image as transferred into, with a bit of dissipation, the structures of feeling surrounding luck and money. Not much of a stretch, once you consider the English-language expressions “get lucky” and “money shot.” Desire, of course, is famous for both its mobility — its ability to be transferred from one object to another — and for its ability to transform any potentially innocent object into an object of erotic investment. Keeping this in mind, this series of woodblock prints depicting the infinite uses to which the tanuki’s testicles may be put takes on an especially interesting register. As far as real tanuki go, I’ve had several personal encounters since I’ve lived in Japan, probably because I live close to the mountains where there’s still enough habitat for tanuki communities to survive. Here’s a list of my various encounters: 1) Twice, both times during the day, I’ve run into a mangy tanuki missing large patches of hair trotting on the path that leads to the campus where I teach. The tanuki seemed to have plenty of energy, but it was a really sad-looking creature. I wonder whether the mange was naturally occurring, or if it was an effect of the tanuki’s close contact with urbanization. 2) Teaching class one day I saw through the window a baby tanuki happily hopping along while a large crow happily hopped along behind it. The tanuki was too large to be threatened by the crow and too small to be a threat to the crow. It seemed like they were having fun together. 3) In Kanazawa, coming back to the minshuku at night, my companion and I spotted a tanuki nosing around the restaurants and stores that were located in the area. When the tanuki saw us it took one quick glance and then continued on with its business, completely bored by our presence. 4) Coming home one night from an extended bout of eating and drinking with friends, perhaps a bit in the tanuki zone myself, I saw an enormously fat tanuki come trundling down a set of stairs, quickly away on its mysterious tanuki business. 12 Responses to “the tanuki zone” 1. You mean these animals actually exist??? Wow, and here I thought they were just some crazy invention of the Japanese – my only experience with them was the Tanuki suit you could get in Super Mario Bros. 3 on the original Nintendo… • 2 Trane DeVore You can be forgiven for thinking they were some kind of mythical fantasy creature, given how little the ceramic tanukis look like the actual animal itself. If you saw a real tanuki and didn’t know what it was you might not make a connection in your mind to those ceramic tanukis at all! I didn’t know about the Mario Bros. tanuki suit, but now I’m thinking — shouldn’t I have one of those in real life? I can imagine the stir it would generate, being worn around the city at night. 2. 3 Erik T I always thought that they were feet. See you on the east coast. • 4 Trane DeVore Actually, I didn’t realize they were giant testicles either — for about my first six months — until a friend pointed it out to me. They’re so huge that they become weirdly invisible because they’re beyond the boundaries of what we think of as standard representations of ‘big balls.’ Plus they’re just sitting out there in public for everyone to look at. A bit like the purloined letter, I suppose. And I do hope to make a visit to the east coast one of these days! I’m here in Japan until 2011, but after my return I’m thinking of taking a trip to the eastern seaboard since it’s an area that I feel I’ve massively neglected over the last decade or so. 3. Nice keep up the good work. where can we subscribe to the site’s newletter? • 6 Trane DeVore There’s no “newsletter” for this site, but I do add a couple of posts a week. You can subscribe to the blog via RSS, or whatever service you use to keep track of the other websites you subscribe to. 4. 7 heather One of Tom Robbin’s recent books was about a tanuki named Tanuki. “Villa Incognito” It is absolutely hilarious and full of mischief like all his books are. I did not imagine Tanuki looking like those tanuki sculptures though. very cute! Why does Japan create so many bizarre cute looking things? • 8 Trane DeVore I had no idea that Tom Robbins had a book with a tanuki in it. I’ll have to check it out! 5. 9 heather Ah, yes the sculptures are a mythical depiction of the tanuki. Your photography is amazing btw. I am trying to decide if I should get a bessa t even though it is a bit old and has the viewfinder issue, so I have been looking at the bessa t flickr page alot lately. I have a chance to get an olive bessa t body. • 10 Trane DeVore The Bessa-T is a really fun camera to use, though it does take a bit of time to compose a shot until you get used to moving between the diopter and the viewfinder. The bodies are really cheap these days, however, so I think it’s not a bad idea to pick one up. And those olive bodies are the coolest. I hope you enjoy your Bessa! 6. 11 Judy Nice article. Can I just point out that the tanuki doesn’t actually hold a sake bottle. It holds a tokkuri, into which sake would be decanted for drinking, and tokkuri reminds us of toku (virtue). • 12 Trane DeVore Thanks for that bit of clarification — I would never have thought of the connection between toku (徳) and tokkuri　(徳利), but now that you point it out it seems obvious. Without knowing the pun I didn’t see any reason to use the more technical ‘tokkuri’ rather than ‘sake flask’ or ‘sake bottle,’ but if I were to rewrite the piece I’d definitely change it. ありがとうございます！　勉強になりました!

Ambient Music Artist Creates Calming Minimalism New Phasing Moments Album Cover WITH TITLES.jpg After having the fantastic art exhibition “Phasing Moments”, a collection of 9 connected works by brothers Troy and Chris Ramos, and after releasing the video works online for free, now Troy Ramos has released his sound works from this show, available for purchase on Bandcamp: Phasing Moments “A lot of people came to the exhibit and also watched the videos on my Vimeo page, and I can’t thank them enough for their support,” said Troy Ramos. “Now I want to give everyone a chance to have the sound works. It’s honestly so inexpensive when you factor in how much work went into them, basically the equivalent of the cost of a latte. Only, by supporting my work, you’re contributing to the artistic economy and a stronger artistic culture by supporting an artist.” These sound works are interestingly part of a collaboration, too. All 9 art works from this exhibition, 3 paintings, 3 videos and 3 sound art works, were created in the spirit of the works created before them. Using video, sound and painting, the artists took an idea, started with one medium and then passed this idea back and forth, using the previous works as a starting point to create a new work. This process was then repeated every time, with each work of art being connected to all of the previous works in some way. “Everything in this world emanates from something that already exists. Art is no different.”, says Troy Ramos. “We simply wanted to create a collection of artworks that were more strongly connected to each other, rather than with some outside force.” However, Ramos adds: “You can still listen to these works and enjoy the sound works on their own. It was a show featuring 9 works, all of which are connected to each other, of course. But each work still has its own identity. It’s almost like a harmony of 9 works, all connected in some ways, yes, but they are still independent of each other enough to be considered their own work.“ On this album, you’ll hear the three sound works composed for this event. By listening to all three works, you’ll have experienced a third of the works from entire exhibition. ”These sound works were mostly created in Detroit. What effect this city is having on my work, if any.. it’s hard to say. But you’ll quickly get a sense of my style of minimalism when you first hear the sound works,” said Ramos. “I don’t even know if the right word is minimalism. I don’t necessarily like that word. It’s appropriate to use, of course. But essentially, these works have the exact number of sounds they needed. Nothing more. Whatever you want to call that, that’s what it is.” ”You’ll also get a really good idea of how big these sonic landscapes are. They’re huge! And they’re slowly filled with all these pointillist dots of sounds which, together, form these larger sonic sculptures.” This album is available here on Bandcamp: Phasing Moments

Just go to my Facebook page and click "Like." Vonn Sumner: Somewhere Else There is a silence about the works of painter Vonn Sumner. His canvases ask his viewers a question that takes a moment to consider: do you want to laugh, or cry, or both? 2013-05-14-15.Defense_2013_oilonpanel_18x18inches001.jpg Vonn Sumner, "Defense," 2013, oil on panel, 18 x 18 inches Vonn's upcoming show "Somewhere Else" features a suite of paintings that form a kind of personal Commedia dell'Arte, whose main actor has a tragic, muted air. Sumner is wise enough to know how to engage you in his theater and also smart enough to stand back and let you react on your own terms. The paintings are generous, funny and just a bit opaque. Sumner, whose father Richard ran a Palo Alto frame store and gallery grew up looking at art and thinking it over very carefully. Echoes of Bay Area painting, flavors gleaned from Morandi, Guston and Magritte and a hint of Buster Keaton come together in his recent works through the filter of a sly, discerning intelligence. John Seed Interviews Vonn Sumner 2013-05-16-VonnSumner_2012_EricMinhSwenson.jpg Vonn Sumner -- Photo: Eric Minh Swenson Vonn, you grew up in the Bay Area and got your MA at UC Davis. How have the traditions of Bay Area painting stayed alive in your work? In many ways: There was a David Park show at the Palo Alto Cultural Center when I was in high school that was a life changing event. I went to see it every weekend, it had a physical effect on me. Also, those painters had a love of art history, of the traditions of painting, but also could not ignore the new artistic developments and anxieties of their time. With the 'Bay Area Figurative' painters especially, there was a desire to bring the processes and premises of non-objective painting together with the timeless project of representing the human form. That same question is something I try to grapple with every day in my own way. Your images often manage to mix humor and commentary. Is it important for you to have both of these elements in everything you do? Well, they need each other, don't they? Lisa Simpson needs Homer; Chuck D needs Flavor Flav; Karl Marx needs Groucho. Social commentary alone can become didactic, orthodox, simplistic and boring. Pure silliness and absurdity can become nihilistic and trivial. I am for the complexity and contradictions that come when both of those elements are simultaneous--I think that is more honest, more fully human, and therefore more subversive. 2013-05-14-4.Reliquary_2012_oiloncanvas_60x48inches001.jpg Vonn Sumner, "Reliquary," 2012, oil on canvas, 60 x 48 inches Your painting "Reliquary" includes a shrouded figure decorated with roses. What are some of the ideas behind that image? For me, the decisions in making a painting are largely intuitive. There is no literal idea or narrative I am trying to execute or illustrate. I can say generally that I work with materials and imagery that feel "right," and that I work toward an image that resonates with me at the time. I'm also interested in breathing new life into old conventions, like portraiture. With "Reliquary" in particular, it felt both ridiculous/absurd and also somehow melancholic or mournful. 2013-05-15-10.NeoByzantine_2013_oiloncanvas_20x18inches001.jpg Vonn Sumner, "Neo-Byzantine," 2013, oil on canvas, 20 x 18 inches Many of your recent works appear to be self-portraits: are they? I actually don't think of them as self-portraits, even though I am often using my own body/face as the figure. Instead, I think of them as just "heads" or "figures" in a generic sense. An analogy might be that a filmmaker can write a script and then act in a particular part because he knows what he wants for the role more than the role is autobiographical or about "self." Also, since I am often putting the figures in a state of potential humiliation, I think on some level I feel more comfortable doing that to myself than to other people. Since we don't -- as far as I know -- choose our bodies when we are born, I think of it almost as a kind of "readymade" or a given; like Jasper Johns using the stencil letters and numbers you get from a hardware store, a kind of neutral decision in some way. Bruce Nauman's work was influential in this regard, as was Joseph Beuys, though he was more overtly "autobiographical"-- if perhaps fictional. I do take photos, but don't stay too faithful to them and throw them out as soon as possible so as to let memory and invention take over and just be present to the painting. Can you tell me the names of artists who have influenced you? What have you borrowed from them? That is a dangerous question, I could talk all day... First, I will say that I give myself permission to steal from anyone and anything. My job is to make it my own. But some of the main influences: Philip Guston, Balthus, Giacometti, de Chirico, Morandi, Goya, Piero, Giotto, and the Italian "Primitives" - especially the Siennese like Sassetta, Duccio, etc. Among current painters, I like Peter Doig as well as the 'New Leipzig School' painters from Germany, I feel a certain kindred spirit with some of them. But I also love abstract painters like Sean Scully, Terry Winters, Brice Marden, Nozkowsky. I loved Amy Silman's last show in New York, I think she has found an exciting way to address the question of how to combine abstract painting and figuration. I have to add that many of my main influences are from cartoonists and filmmakers. People like Daniel Clowes and Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, R. Crumb. The Marvel comics of the 80s had a profound effect on me growing up. At Davis, my teacher/ mentor Wayne Thiebaud introduced me to George Herriman's "Krazy Kat." And Wayne made it clear that he took that very seriously: that cartoonists and "commercial artists" like that were not to be condescended to but to be seen as artistic equals. That had a huge impact on me and validated how much comic books and even children's book illustrations had influenced my wanting to draw in the first place. Some of the earliest and most impactful pictures that anyone sees are the drawings and paintings in children's books. Similarly, I think Alfred Hitchcock and the old Film Noir movies are probably a major influence on my work, as is Buster Keaton. I worship Buster Keaton. 2013-05-14-16.Action_2013_oilonpanel_18x17inches_web001.jpg Vonn Sumner, "Action," 2013, oil on panel, 18 x 17 inches You have explained that your work "attempts to reconcile the exterior objective world with my subjective experience of it." Can you expand on that? It's hard to talk about. I remember since childhood being struck by the distance between what was going on in the "objective" /observable world and what I was feeling and experiencing in my "subjective" inner world. I think that is one of the main reasons that artists make art: to bridge that gap and communicate, to bring what is inside and show it to the outside, to make the invisible visible. And this is not only an intellectual or an emotional thing; this is also about the physical experience of being in a body. Painting is uniquely equipped for addressing the body, for projecting the physical experience of the painter and producing an empathy in the body of the viewer. 2013-05-15-7.Parlance_2013_oilonpanel_24x20inches001.jpg Vonn Sumner, "Parlance," 2013, oil on panel, 24 x 20 inches What direction do you expect your work to take in the future? Of course, I don't know, and the not-knowing is part of the point. In general, though, I hope to grow and push my work into a place that I can't yet envision. More specifically, one thing I can say is that I have always really been interested in the territory where painting and drawing overlap and the boundaries between the two disciplines are blurred. That is part of my interest in Giacometti, and I think late Guston addresses that. Picasso's black and white paintings deal with that directly. And I am increasingly interested in the ink painting traditions of China and Japan. The directness and simplicity of that painting is amazing. So there is something there that I have yet to fully explore and I hope to find a way to invent my own version of that painted-drawing or drawn-painting thing. That is very exciting territory to me. Vonn Sumner - Somewhere Else Merry Karnowsky Gallery 170 S. La Brea Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90036 Exhibition Dates: May 18 - June 15, 2013 Opening Reception: Saturday, May 18 from 8 to 11pm Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 12 - 6pm Odd Nerdrum's Paris Open House Brandon Kralik, an American born painter who lives and works in Sweden, recently attended the Paris open house of his former teacher, Odd Nerdrum. Over 100 of Nerdrum's paintings were on view, and a special concert was performed, but the painter himself was absent. I am appointing Brandon "guest blogger" so that you can read his report about the event, and also view a video and slideshow. - John Seed 2013-05-09-Kralik.JPG L to R: Painters Brandon Kralik and Nanne Nyander with composer Martin Romberg On an otherwise sunny day, a dark thundercloud passed over the sprawling gardens of the Nerdrum's home in Maisons-Laffitte. "Nature providing a little drama for Odd," commented the artist's son Bork Spildo Nerdrum as the rain passed and an international group of collectors, painters and admirers ga thered from around the world to see this most special exhibition of paintings.They crowded the huge rooms to see over 100 works by this most interesting, and arguably the best, of all figurative painters and to hear the special concert arranged by the composer Martin Romberg as wine and hors d'oeurves were served. Romberg composed a piece to accompany Nerdrum's latest masterpiece, "To the Lighthouse" and the composer stood by as pianist Michael Cheung performed it in front of the painting. Cellist Marcus Eriksen and violist Sarah Niblack joined Cheung for live performances of Sibelius and Arvo Pärt compositions as well. The entire event was presented in grand style at Nerdrum's private residence and studio outside Paris which was opened to the public on April 19, 2013 for just three days. A miracle of rare device! The event was arranged by the Nerdrum Museum, Galleri Pan of Oslo and Galerie L'Oeil du Prince of Paris, and was opened by Gerald Bliem of Galleri Pan who spoke of the challenges that Odd Nerdrum has faced during the past decade with regards to his cruel treatment from the Norwegian tax authorities. The Norwegian Supreme Court recently overturned a 2 year 10 month prison sentence and now the painter awaits a new trial which will present new evidence in the case. Nerdrum's new book, "Crime and Refuge," depicts these challenges by presenting a collection of Nerdrum's paintings with its focus on the theme of the refugee. Nerdrum's son, Bork, presented the book which was released for the first time at the opening. The forwards to the book are written by Norwegian author Nabintu Herland, who was on hand for the opening and Gregory David Roberts, acclaimed author of Shantaram and although he could not attend the opening, his wife, Princess Françoise Sturdza of Switzerland were among several hundred people in attendance. To see Nerdrum's work in person is important if one is to understand how large his contribution is, both literally and figuratively. Every room in the house was full of paintings by this man who has chronicled his life and the full range of human experience as no other painter has. From the soft, gentle paintings of children in their mothers arms, of families and groups of individuals bathing and lounging in the sunset by the waterside, to the despair, the alienation, and backstabbing that seems to inevitably accompany human beings as we fumble for grace during our dance to the grave. The huge stone staircase leading up to the second floor of the exhibition was lined with paintings of mistreated animals which, alongside haunting images like Dustlickers and Five Singing Women gave the viewer a distinct impression that Nerdrum knows exactly what he is doing. He is no mad artist. In the Cognac room there were many books by Nerdrum containing not only paintings but also volumes of essays, prose and plays. In this one room, the smallest of all the rooms, were dozens of small portraits of former students who have come from all over the world to learn from him and Nerdrum has given freely to those who have wandered his way. An iMac on the table played the films that he has conceived and which have been made by his sons, Øde and Bork. Although the other rooms were spacious with inlaid wood floors, chandeliers and vaulted ceilings, the paintings were so large that there was room for only one per wall in most cases. The life size figures floating midway on transparent lakes, suspended in space or singing by caves, measureless to man, allows one to forget that these are paintings at all and transports the viewer into the full emotion of the song, into the longing for the dawn. For me that is an important aspect of Nerdrum's work, to forget that it is a painting, to be absorbed by ancestral voices, and in doing so, to catch a fleeting glimpse of what was there, who we were before the turmoil, when there was just eternal emptiness. Peace. The fact that hundreds of people traveled to enjoy this experience with me reminds me that I am not alone. Throughout the house were easels and palettes and evidence that he had been there, although Nerdrum himself was customarily not present. In his studio, with the huge fireplace the guests found themselves in the company of five over-sized paintings on easels, the figures communicating through gestures, through paint. Beyond the brushes soaking in oil, the 200 ml tubes of paint with indentations from large hands, lids missing and piles of discarded paint scrapings, stood a skeleton wearing Nerdrum's clothing. In his timelessness, he takes us beyond his own death, in this life, by giving us an exhibition of paintings that all who made the effort to attend can be eternally grateful for. -Brandon Kralik The hallway leading to Nerdrum's studio -- Photo: Brandon Kralik Composer Martin Romberg, Pianist Michael Cheung, Cellist Marcus Eriksen -- Photo: Delphine Margau Nanne Nyander and Brandon Kralik with Odd Nerdrum's "Five Singing Women" -- Photo: Gro Raugland Nanne Nyander descends the staircase with Nerdrum's "Tortured Animal" series on view -- Photo: Brandon Kralik The painter's studio and palette -- Photo: Brandon Kralik Painter David Della Venezzia and Galleri Pan owner Gerald Bliem with Nerdrum's "To the Lighthouse" -- Photo: Brandon Kralik Odd Nerdrum's Paris home and studio -- Photo: Øde Spildo Nerdrum Nerdrum's Studio -- Photo: Nixon St. Hilaire Violist Sarah Niblack, pianist Michael Cheung -- Photo: Delphine Margau

Each of Dan Lane’s sculptures is the result of months of meticulous searching and collecting found materials. Most begin with a central figure which inspires him, and he will then spend countless hours building a mechanical world around in. He is inspired by the sculptures found in churches and cathedrals around the world, in particular the presence and mood of the over-the-top Baroque styling of the Italian sculptor and architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

At first the two subjects may seem strangely random. What would they have in common other than the general fact that both are art/artists? There is a new book out on the subject of Norman Rockwell...specifically, his use of meticulously posed and copied photographs to create his work. Looking through the sample pages from the book made me remember how enchanted I was by Norman Rockwell's art as a young woman. The narration of his work, and the way it always seemed like a captured moment, slightly exaggerated for dramatic license. Sounding familiar yet? Although the Pre-Raphaelites often focused on medieval subject matter, and Rockwell's art focused on the every day moments in family life, both of them often had, as a main purpose, the goal of embodying an emotion. And both Rockwell and the Pre-Raphaelites would focus on every little detail of the image to make sure it had some bearing on this purpose. Both Rockwell and the Pre-Raphaelites have been subjects of a struggle in the art world to determine if their art is truly "fine art," and both for similar reasons. Art critics sometimes dismiss Rockwell as being too narrative...too illustrative. The Pre-Raphaelites were so adamant about realistic details in their art, they would purchase costumes and accessories, and spend long hours outdoors trying to capture scenery. By the time Rockwell came on the scene, photography had advanced enough that his meticulous posing of his models could be done all at one sitting, with a resulting photograph forming the starting point of his artwork. But even in the early days of photography, Rossetti was having Jane Morris sit for him outside in his garden, to take photographs for future reference. Critics sometimes complain that the art of the Pre-Raphaelites, and also Rockwell's art, are not only too illustrative, but too precisely photographic. After all, why not just take a photograph for the same result? It only takes a few glances back and forth from Rockwell's reference photos to his finished art to see what makes his art special. It's remarkable...often times, the figures are rendered in the art precisely as they are in the photographs, down to the last wrinkle of the shirt. And yet under his expert hand, the photographs are transformed into an inescapeable composition with a definite mood. By imperceptibly lowering a girl's chin a few inches, and having the waiter lean in a few inches closer, the entire composition is perfected. In the same way, although the Pre-Raphaelites painted stunningly realistic images, I suspect that if we were able to find photographs of their models posing for the works, we would find subtle ways in which they changed the composition, the angle of a hand, the tilt of a chin, that improve upon the original pose ten-thousandfold. Norman Rockwell was born during the end of the 1800s, during a time when Pre-Raphaelite art was still alive (though on its last legs). As he grew up, he saw the emergence of more and more stylistic and abstract forms of art, but his work was relentlessly realistic, emotional, and heartfelt. In his own way, like that of the Pre-Raphaelites in the previous century, he rebelled against the work that other artists were doing, and paved his own way towards his own artistic goals. In an essay written for an exhibition at the Nassau County Museum of Art, Charles A. Riley II, PhD wrote "Rockwell was not a static historicist. He offered visual ballads to the present as he saw and heard it. ... Rockwell's plangent tone...delivers its emotional punch straight to the heart even in an age as cynical as ours. Nostalgia is nothing new in art history. The Victorians excelled at similar evocative realism, and there is more than a passing resemblance between some of the Pre-Raphaelites and Rockwell's narratives, especially the more ambitious paintings. ... It is important to acknowledge, however, that the nostalgia bathing the Rockwell scenes may well be a golden light we cast ourselves -- in his times these were mirror images of the present." This is an important reminder also for many of the contemporary works of the Pre-Raphaelite that we now look at with romantic notions. So...the Pre-Raphaelites and Norman Rockwell both used photographic precision to create extremely detailed works of art that were narrative, romantic, emotive, and often sentimental. Artworks like The Awakening Conscience and The Problem We All Live With both dealt with current world issues of their era in an emotional way, but without directly being crude or blunt. And both Rockwell's art and that of the Pre-Raphaeltes now, because of their sentimentality, are often framed on walls and admired as just "pretty art" or "sweet art" when really, they have far, far more to tell us. 1 comment: alme said... Hello Grace!Thank you very much for your comments!I´m really glad you love my artworks and think that I retain the feel of the Pre-Raphaelite style!!!! Of course, you can share the link of my Pre-Raphaelite Tribute!On the contrary, I would be very delighted to appear on your blog. By the way, here is a link to a larger image of my "Destiny" (http://www.almeriane.es/PRFDestino.htm ):) Thank you kindly again!

The hospital main building is composed in two separate parts; the tecnolgical platform area and the in-patient room block. This main block contains a three floor platform area, and seven floors built above ground level, five of which are used to accommodate hospitalized patients. The platform area consists of a reinforced concrete construction; the single “residential` block construction on top is a mix of steel and concrete. The platform area performs the hospital’s key functions, housing the technological areas (basement), operating theatres and diagnosis and treatment areas (ground floor) and visitor’s area (first floor). The area used as patient rooms occupies six floors, starting with the technological structure, and is chiefly used for wards accommodating patients receiving routine treatment. The characteristic feature linking these two parts is a large sail-shaped glass structure the same height as the building, which stretches along the length of the building and which covers a spacious, bright entrance hall linked to all the hospital’s facilities and contact areas. Hospital facilities include five separate, independent buildings: the Hospital; Car Parks; Administrative-Store and System Control Units; Morgue and eye Bank; and Conference Center. The project team adopted design solutions that demonstrate its ability to bring together the architectural, technological, structural and environmental aspects in a single project. These solutions include the extensive glass surface running along the whole length of the frontage, that links the technical services block of the hospital, covered with greenery, with the in-patient areas, to improve environmental comfort and filter out the noise of the nearby railway line; and then the terraces on the south-west face, with the overhanging floors to create shadows and reduce the effect of strong sunlight; and lastly the small lakes in the park, which, apart from characterising the park itself, constitute a water reservoir in case of fire and are able to regulate water levels. THE TECHNOLOGICAL BLOCK The basement of the technological block contains the technical services areas and the areas for staff changing rooms. Diagnostics and treatment services are on the ground floor, while the first floor contains the reception areas for visitors. A part of the enormous planned volume is completely hidden; the block is completely covered with greenery so that it acts as a new foundation level for the in-patient building situated on all the other floors. This block is oriented with its lengthwise axis running in a south-west/north-easterly direction and is characterised by the gradual offsetting by 2.50 m of one floor against another in a south-easterly direction. This makes it possible to create terraces on the north-east face, thus increasing the quality of the individual in-patient rooms and, on the south-west face, noticeably decreasing the effect of direct sunlight by using the shadow created by the overhanging floors. THE ENTRANCE HALL The New Mestre Hospital is an organic structure comprising a glass-faced in-patient block that emerges from a much more extensive services and outpatient block, which is covered with greenery. In this way, when visitors enter they are plunged into the terrain, to emerge inside a large, entrance hall covered by an oblique glass façade and enhanced by a winter garden. The upper linear building is built in steps so that the rooms, on one side, look onto the hall/glasshouse and, on the other, form a downward slope of green terraces. This re-interpretation of the classic base-vertical block dichotomy contains a whole series of cues that have been explored and codified over the years as Studio Altieri has matured its experience in hospital design. First and foremost is the simultaneous presence of natural elements that cover the architecture and the vegetation it contains. The landscape above and inside creates an entry sequence so that there is an initial penetration into the terrain (the real landscape) followed by an emergence into a hall/glasshouse that serves as access to the floors above (the recreated landscape). The services block is never isolated, but forms a camouflaged extension of the surrounding land; its elevated nature and “artificial` vegetation are accentuated by the presence of the landscape inside the hall/glasshouse, introducing the design concept of “landscape multiplication`. THE WARDS The five floors for in-patients are characterised by large ceiling-to-floor windows, the width of which is determined by the pattern of the structural half-modules. These openings are fundamental components of the project and identify a new way of designing the patient’s room, with increasing emphasis on greater “humanisation` of the hospital. The project for the patient’s room leaves a fundamental mark on the patient’s stay in the treatment structure. The large openings help to maintain a link with the outside world, with changing light and natural colours, so that the patient feels less part of an often mysterious and alienating machine. DIRECT SUNLIGHT STUDY The glass façades enclosing the north and south sides of the building can be classified essentially into two main types of structural glass façades: a so-called “active` type, with excellent heat-sound performance, suitable for ensuring comfort on the wards, in the care and treatment structures and in the doctors’ offices; and a different “passive` type, suitable for use in areas where people stop for short spaces of time or in transit areas, such as halls, lifts and sitting areas. The so-called “active` façade is achieved through the combination of a high-performance glass façade package with integration of the technical system component via climate control air intake and exchange, in order to prevent the formation of stationary air that would gradually overheat and transmit heat by convection to the interior spaces.

Her work has been shown extensively throughout the U.S and in Italy, Germany, Hungary, Poland, The Netherlands and Korea, She is on the faculty of the University of Michigan, School of Art & Design, Ann Arbor and the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. She also is serving on the Board of Directors of Michigan Interfaith Partners of the Michigan Round Table for Diversity and Inclusion, an organization whose purpose is to bring leaders of many faith communities together in actively promoting peace, respect and mutual understanding. She is a Trustee of Japhet School, a national award winning school focusing on character development and strong academics As a member of the Board of Directors of Interfaith Partners of the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion, in 2008 she organized and co-curated a museum exhibition, Reflections of the Spirit. The exhibition included works by artists of diverse ethnicities, nationalities, religions, racial backgrounds and traditions. As a result many hundreds of faith leaders, students, artists and members of various community organizations came together to hear the artists speak about their work from their own spiritual perspectives and to see the visual interpretations. She has now been asked to organize another multi cultural, multi faith activity focusing on forgiveness. In describing her paintings she states,” While the visual content refers to and suggests forms of nature, they are not meant to be representational. Working in studios in the mountains of Mexico, the flat farm fields of the Saginaw Valley and urban Detroit neighborhoods of crack, concrete and decay, I have expressed in my paintings a melding of internal and external environments and atmospheres. My intention is always to communicate an affirmation of life and hope even in the midst of what often appeared to be the opposite. Most recently I have focused on sacred grottos, caves and stalactites to express a private place for contemplation and a sense of solitude deep within what has been formed by nature over long periods of time. In a catalogue essay for her recent exhibition at the Marshall Fredericks Museum, Susan Bandes, director of the Eli Broad Museum wrote: “One is reminded of Mark Rothko’s chapel at the De Menil collection in Houston, a room of quiet, large abstract canvases whose cumulative effect is an enveloping atmosphere for meditation. There, the room is hushed and the glow of light emanating from the paintings that surround the viewer, becomes expansive. So, too, with Thayer’s paintings. Her grottoes are neither narrative nor site specific. Rather they are the total opposite: boundless, open-ended, and uncharted in their suggestion of physical phenomena. The discovery of the richness of their space is a subjective experience. Her intention is to create an opportunity for the viewer to listen to his or her own thoughts. They are also about spirituality without being literal or referencing humans. Texture, edges and titles are significant. Tactility in her paint harks back to her work in other mediums; clay in graduate school at Michigan State University, and paper making that occupied her for over twenty years. The smaller grotto drawings are on tar paper. Several contain small bits of her handmade paper recycled from another project. She describes herself as a messy painter but it’s a carefully controlled technical exploration and thorough immersion in and mastery of the mediums she uses. As she points out, edges not just the centers of the paintings, are visually important. Colors reveal themselves at the lower edges of several of the paintings and thick ribbons of paint curl around the edges of others. Titles -- “Silent Grotto” and “Stalactite,”-- are clues to understanding the origins. There are echoes of J.M.W. Turner whose 19th century churning seas of color were some of the earliest painted abstractions but always based in nature. Barnett Newman’s writings and his appreciation of non-objective painting also informs Thayer’s sensibilities. This user account status is Approved

In 2012, Ingrid Lorentzen took over as the ballet director at the Opera in Oslo. For many years she was a principal dancer in the company, and from the 2013—2014 season she is also in charge of the repertoire. “The 59 dancers of the National Ballet maintain a formidable level. In my first season I want to show them at their best, with works by contemporary master choreographers, such as Jiří Kylián, and up-and-coming stars such as Liam Scarlett, in addition to staging the immortal classics,” says Lorentzen, who has also added house choreographers Jo Strømgren and Alan Lucien Øyen. The programme features nine first performances, four of them full-length performances. Five new ballet pieces bear the signature of Norway’s foremost choreographers. The opening performance, In the World of Fokine, consists of five first performances. Liam Scarlett has created a completely new Firebird with costumes by Jon Bausor, while house choreographer Alan Lucien Øyen has created a new Petrushka with scenography by Åsmund Færavaag. This is innovation in the Ballet Russes tradition – all of it put to Stravinsky’s great immortal music. Three shorter works by choreographers Ina Christel Johannessen, Daniel Proietto and Ingun Bjørnsgaard end the evening. Yolanda Correa, Aarne Kristian Ruutu, Daniel Proietto, Gakuro Matsui, Osiel Gouneo and Camilla Spidsøe have leading roles in this Main Stage production which opens on Saturday 28 September and runs until 18 October as part of this year’s CODA Oslo International Dance Festival. On 17 October, in Orpheus and Eurydice, The Norwegian National Ballet will join forces with their co-tenant The Norwegian National Opera. Ballet director Ingrid Lorentzen and opera director Per Boye Hansen started in their positions at the same time, and together they are considering new ways for the companies to develop, with Gluck’s opera as the first project. This is house choreographer Jo Strømgren’s debut as an operatic director, and with him he has 18 dancers, three opera soloists and the full Opera Chorus. 14 November brings us to an Evening with the Masters of Baroque, where the masters of choreography George Balanchine, William Forsythe and Jiří Kylián will meet the masters of Baroque in Concerto barocco, Steptext and Wings of Wax, for the first time with a live baroque orchestra in the pit; moreover, Liam Scarlett is creating a new work. Before the performance, the audience will have the opportunity to enjoy a new video conceptual dance work in the foyer of the opera house. Alveberg on Dreamt Ocean, a journey through the Norwegian choreographer Kjersti Alveberg’s fabulous career, premiers on 22 March. The Swedish choreographer Alexander Ekman fills the Main Stage with water for his version of A Swan Lake with its first performance on 26 April. Based on the original Swan Lake, which was a fiasco when it was performed for the first time at the Bolshoi theatre in 1877, Ekman fantasizes freely on its creation; with the full National Ballet in costumes by Danish top designer Henrik Vibskov, the full orchestra and new music by Mikael Karlsson. It is only a short step from this to the Petipa/Ivanov version of Swan Lake, which the National Ballet has staged in its new house to rave receptions. We will also see again John Cranko’s immortal Onegin, the Christmas stand-by The Nutcracker and the successful interaction between classic dance and hip hop in Kingwings vs. The Norwegian National Ballet. The two house choreographers of the National Ballet will also show their own productions during the season: As a comment on Orpheus and Eurydice on the Main Stage, Alan Lucien Øyen’s drama Coelacanth, will be shown on Scene 3 in October. This had its first performance in Bergen. The Jo Strømgren Kompani will perform Czterdziesci, The Painter and The Kitchen on the same stage. Please see www.operaen.no for our full season programme.

The room itself is guarded by a green door with faux wood grain finish and in the window hangs a whimsically fitting hand-drawn sign proclaiming “Quadrangle.” Screen Shot 2016-04-22 at 1.02.34 AM.png A part of the Quadrangle staff Inside I found Nicole Kuhn, halfway through an Iggy’s chicken wrap sitting on a large green couch, and watching “Friends.” The couch was one of five or six pieces of furniture tastefully crammed into the room, giving it a confined homeliness not found in many club rooms. The walls were adorned with photos and art pieces from previous magazines, and past editions lined a low shelf, sixty-four years of tradition neatly arranged in two rows. I settled down into a chair opposite Nicole, allowed her to finish her fries, and started up my recorder. We began: NR: I’m here live with Nicole Kuhn… NR: So, sitting down with Nicole, how’re you doing? NK: I’m nervous. NR: You’re nervous, that’s okay. NK: That’s off the record… Everything is off the record unless I say. NR: So we’re here today to talk about Quadrangle. We have the unveiling coming up—‘tis the season, one could say. So, what is Quadrangle? NK: Quadrangle is Canisius’ literary and arts magazine. We’re in our 64th year, which I think is pretty rad. We publish student and faculty works of poetry, prose, short fiction, short non-fiction, playwriting, photography, painting, drawing, sculpting—pretty much any literary or visual arts piece that you want to send to us, we want to take a look at, and possibly publish in our magazine. NR: Great. Okay, so we have this unveiling coming up for the magazine. When is the unveiling? What can we expect from the event? What can we expect from the magazine this year? NK: So, the unveiling is Tuesday, April 26, at 6:00pm in Grupp Fireside Lounge. We can expect… You can expect… I already know what to expect, so… (laughter) It’s gonna be a great event. Obviously the magazine will be there for the first time. You know, it’s the first place to see this year’s edition. And then, we’re gonna feature all the visual pieces of the magazine, they’ll be printed out and around the room for people to look at before they sit down, then the formal program will start at six o’clock and we will give an introductory note about the magazine and how it came to be, this year specifically. We’ll talk about the staff, and then we’ll talk about the work, and what’s in there. It’s a pretty diverse collection this year. People will give readings, if they did an arts piece they’ll talk about their inspiration and why they chose to take their photograph or craft their piece. And then after that we’ll announce the new editor, or editors-in-chief. And then we’ll all hang out and look at the magazine, which was printed on FSC-certified paper, meaning all the materials come from eco-friendly sources, and then we’ll eat cake. The cake’s gonna be great! It’s a full sheet cake this year, which we didn’t do last year and we ran out. So, we’re on the ball with cake this year. NR: Okay, so we’ve got cake, we’ve got arts, we’ve got speakers, we’ve got fun. Is this open for everyone? NK: Yup. Free, open to the public, bring your friends, bring your family, bring your dog—no, don’t bring your dog. (laughter) NR: And the magazine itself will be presented there. How much can you talk about that? I know it’s pretty secret… NK: Sure, I mean it’s definitely under wraps to a certain extent—that is the point of an unveiling, to unveil, one might say. But we’ve thought again about texture and shape this year, as far as the physical holding of the book in your hands goes. NR: Can you speak to that? Can you reveal..? NK: I can’t give away too much. I will say…It’s never been done before. NR: Okay! NK: That’s all. NR: You heard it here first! (laughter) So you’ve got this great event, and you’ve got this great piece. Why is it important for the arts to have a strong presence here at Canisius College? NK: I think it’s important that the arts have a strong presence everywhere, first of all. But I think featuring arts here means that we’re featuring what it means for people on this campus to be human, and what it means to understand more about the human experience, which is what art does for us and what art gives us. And so, by putting this magazine out there and by taking these works that people have written or have captured with a camera or with a pencil or with a pen or whatever and publishing them, we’re giving them a space in time and physical existence, which is important. That’s saying that this work deserves to be here and what these artists have grappled with in their pieces deserves to have a place to be recognized, and that says to the people whose works are being featured that what they think about the world, and what they think about themselves, and what they think about how they interact with other people, is important. I think that’s the goal with art, right? To interact, and to think about community, and to think about how we’re all connected. Not to get too cliché, but I mean, it’s true. (A lull in the conversation as NR reads his notes.) NR: Okay, obviously this is a process; this doesn’t happen overnight. Can you speak to that from the earliest days of this edition’s inception, to the unveiling. What’s gone into it, what’ve you done? What have various members done? How does this all come about? NK: The planning and the process begins the day after the unveiling. So, the day after our unveiling this year, Deanna, the secretary of the English department, will schedule the date for next year’s unveiling. And from there she’ll be in contact with the next editor-in-chief, and that person or those people will start planning what they want the magazine to look like and what goals they want to accomplish with the magazine in terms of theme, or presence on campus, and those things. So I thought all summer about what we might want this year’s book to look like, what kind of inspirations we would pull on from other literary magazines, thinking about what other college campuses do, and what other independent, more nationally renowned magazines do, which is all cool to look at. NR: So this is all part of a larger literary tradition and community? NK: Oh yeah. And Quadrangle is kinda lucky because we are backed by the school, so as long as our Undergraduate Student Association has money, we’ll have money. So we don’t have to stress about the possibility of not having the income to produce a magazine, which is a real stressor for a lot of other independent magazines. We don’t have that, which means we are afforded the ability to do something different, and to maybe take some kind of risk every year. You know, do something grabbing or different. NR: You’re able to make it the best it can be every year? NK: Right, yeah, because we have the means to do that. And from there it’s all about finding designers, and coordinating with the staff to make it all come together. NR: Okay, so that leads into the next question. Who’s involved? How do you get involved? Where can we start? NK: Anyone can be involved, honestly. It depends on what kind of capacity you are committed to being involved. My policy this year was that anyone can be on staff. And then from there we work on what experience you have with literary or artistic pieces in terms of workshopping, deciding what pieces are at the level they need to be at in order to be published. But certainly everyone is welcome to be a part of the greater experience. You know, we always get a great designer, or in this case we have two great designers from the DMA department, and Professor Ben Dunkle helps us out a lot with that. So this year we have Jon Fitzsimmons, and Rachel Peck who are two seniors from the DMA department. Then we have a great staff, which includes people you might know, like Darby Ratliff, and Elizabeth Sawka, and Kate Light. Those are some of the more well-known people, and then we have people who you may not know, like Keera MacDonald, Natalie Medina, and Jack Cryan. So it’s a good mix of people, from all places. NR: So you don’t have to be an English majoring student to be involved? NK: No. Definitely not. It helps. I will say that, because we’re a little more familiar with workshopping and similar processes. But that doesn’t mean that no one else has those experiences, and you’re certainly welcome to learn about those things too. NR: Okay, so it’s not only a magazine, but also a chance for the individual staff members to grow and maybe learn something new. NK: Definitely, yes. NR: Why should someone submit, or be a part of this magazine? NK: I think it’s a chance to be part of something much bigger than yourself, and it’s a chance to show and to feature not only your own work, but also to have your work appear alongside other people’s work. Everything’s chosen so carefully, even the order of the pieces and the design. It’s all chosen so carefully. It’s all put in there to tell such a specific story, both individually and as a whole. I think to be part of that is such an opportunity, you know, to be a part of a bigger story. NR: So you’ve told me personally about this—that you saw Quadrangle from afar, so to speak, before coming to Canisius. NK: (laughing) Yes. NR: Can you talk about why you joined Quadrangle? What are some of your favorite moments? Some memories from your involvement? NK: Sure, so I’m from Syracuse, New York. I’d never heard about Canisius before I got something in the mail. So I found out about Canisius and I looked into the Creative Writing department, because I knew that’s what I wanted to study, and I came across something instantly about Quadrangle. I had never even heard of literary magazines before, I didn’t even know what they were. So, to suddenly see that we publish our own, that we do it all ourselves, completely student run, we do it all here, every year there’s a new one that comes out…I first saw it in its 61st year – like, 61 years! – of students putting out a book. A real book. That was pretty crazy to me. So the more I learned about Quadrangle, and the more I learned about the department, I decided I had to come to Canisius. I had to be involved with Quadrangle. I hoped someday to be editor-in-chief, which is pretty cool cause now I’m giving this interview. (laughter) NR: And you’ve been on staff your entire career? NK: I wasn’t my freshman year, just ‘cause, you know I had to work on getting acclimated to college life. But when I was a sophomore, I was like, ‘Listen, I need to do this thing.’ So I got in touch with Dr. Cochrane, and he set me up with the editors-in-chief that year who were great. It was Sam Cochrane, and Victoria Niedzielski. They were awesome, and they just welcomed me with super open arms. This leads to one of my favorite memories, which is: the first Quadrangle meeting I ever went to, which was with Sam and Victoria and the people they had already asked to be on staff, and it was under a tree! (laughter) Our first meeting was under a tree in the quad, and it was great! And I just knew at that point that these are the people I want to be around. This is the kind of community that I want to be involved in all the time. And I was, and I got to do that. So that was really cool. NR: So you were welcomed into this tradition. And what are some of your hopes carrying forth this tradition? You know, for upcoming years, but specifically in your year as editor-in-chief. What are some of your dreams, your expectations—what’s good? NK: I think my hope for Quadrangle, just generally speaking, would be for people to realize how awesome it is to be a part of something like this. Because you get such a specific, wonderful feeling when you see all the work that you put in turn into a physical representation. We put in so much time, and so much effort and we make so many careful considerations around people’s passions, and then all of a sudden at the end, there’s a real, actual book, to look at and to show people. To see it manifested in that way is a feeling that’s hard to describe, that’s for sure. It’s just great and it’s surreal, for sure. I want other people to have that feeling. I want people to say, ‘I did this. And it includes all these people. And we all worked hard to be a part of it. We all understand what an honor and what a privilege it is to be included in this. And here we all are, in this little space together forever.’ You know? And I think that’s really important and really cool. Because this is history. Like I said, this is the sixty-fourth year! There are sixty-four editions; there were sixty-four groups of people, sixty-four other staffs that have gone through this process, sixty-four editors-in-chief – and that’s awesome! To be a part of that, and to know that we get to keep doing that, and that other people get to also enter into this community and share such meaningful parts of themselves—I think that’s really cool. NR: And each of those previous editions can be found in the library? NK: At least some, on the bottom floor. They’re in the literary magazine section in that first nook to the left of the stairs, or earlier ones are in the archives. NR: So you’ll be part of this piece of Canisius literary history forever? NK: Yeah, for real. It’s great. NR: One last time, we’ll come back to it, when is the unveiling? Where is it? NK: It is Tuesday, April 26th in the Grupp Fireside Lounge at 6:00pm. Maybe I’ll even light the fireplace. NR: There will be cake. NK: There will be cake. A full sheet cake. NR: A full sheet cake! Chocolate or vanilla? NK: Uhhh, it’s like white cake with strawberries. “Strawberry Dream,” I think it’s called. NR: The best kind. NK: It’s gonna be great. And buttercream frosting. Who doesn’t like buttercream frosting? NR: Cake. Readings. Fun times. Community. It’s gonna be awesome. Be there. NK: Definitely be there. NR: Thank you, Nicole.

Rumanian painter. Băncilă represents the democratic tendency in Rumanian art of the first third of the 20th century. He studied in Iaşi at the School of Fine Arts (1887-93), and in Munich at the Academy of Art (1894-98) and with A. Ažbè. His paintings on the theme of the peasant uprising of 1907 are imbued with passionate social protest. Băncilă painted character studies (for example, The Old Tailor, 1908, and The Worker, 1911, both in the Art Museum of the Rumanian Socialist Republic, Bucharest). Băncilă’s keen social sense was muted in his later works. Coman, A. Octăv Băncilă. Bucharest, 1954. References in periodicals archive ? On a cultural level the graphics and paintings of artists like Octav Bancila (1872-1944), Iosif Iser (1881-1958), Stefan Luchian (1868-1916) and Aurel Jiquidi (1896-19621 catch the poverty and anger of the peasants and cruelty of the battles.

Steel was a stand by material for a long time in the architectural framework, but when it is recognized for its natural beauty and structural integrity, the result can be inspiring. Master architects such as Zaha Hadid, Frank O Gehry, and Moshe Safdie have challenged the idea of using only steel to construct a skeleton of the building and created innovative and surprising fluid structures. Many modern architects are experimenting with the aesthetic of steel from rust texture to polishing for a high shine finish. Basically here, the buildings are made up of Steel frameworks which support all the loads where columns, beams and girders are made up of steel sections. They are flexible, which makes them very good at resisting dynamic (changing) forces such as wind or earthquake forces. Generally Steel Structures are Used Because of the Following Characteristics: • High strength and stiffness per weight • Long Spans (i.e. large column free area span) • More accurate detailing • Non-shrinking and non-creeping at ambient temperature • Ease of fabrication and mass production including production and hence better quality control • Substantial elimination of delays due to weather • No formwork needed • Termite and rot proof • Uniform quality • Economy in transportation and handling Advantages of Using Steel in Building Structures: 01. Adaptability: Steel can be adjusted and changed according to the designer’s requirements. The frame which is made from the steel can be repositioned. For example; wall frames made from the steel can be altered easily to widen space and create a new interior layout of building. At the same time, it helps to extend the lifespan of the structure. 02. Beauty: It gives a freedom to explore ideas to create stylish shapes and textures of the building. It offers a stylish way to create large, column free interiors, that give the building a sense of openness. 03. Cost- Effective: It is light weight when compared with timber and RCC and also easier to transport, reduces fuel cost and accelerates project schedules. Also, it is energy efficient and can be recycled, and create minimum raw material waste. 04. Ductility: It can be rolled, cut and turned into a variety of sizes and shapes without changing the composition or physical property through steel. 05. Durability: It with stands extreme forces and weather conditions such as strong wind, earthquakes, and heavy snow. They are not affected by bugs, termites, fungi, etc. They are more fire- resistant as compared with wooden frames. Using steel in residential, commercial or industrial structures is definitely a worth investment. Steel Constructions are Mostly Used in Followings Type of Buildings: 01. High Rise Buildings: High rise buildings chiefly because of its strength, light weight, and speed of construction. 02. Industrial Buildings: Industrial buildings because of its ability to create large span (i.e. column free spans) spaces at low cost. 03. Residential Buildings: Residential buildings where a technique called light gauge steel construction is used which is very similar to wooden framed structures. 04. Temporary Structures: Temporary Structures as these are quick to set up and remove. Also Read: Classification of Loads on Structure What do You Mean by FSI in Construction of Building?

Partnering together as part of the hospital's amazing re-development appeal, Disney has helped to raise £10 million to provide a new cafeteria, restaurant and interactive Disney-themed relaxation area for patients and their families, housed in the newly opened Morgan Stanley Clinical Building. The design and interior fit-out of both the main cafeteria and adjoining play area is inspired by the magical world of Disney, featuring a striking illuminated ceiling in a series of coloured bands. Also bringing a sprinkle of fairy dust to the new area's interior design is a sparkling seamless terrazzo floor finish from Flowcrete UK. Incorporating a blend of recycled glass and mirror glass aggregates within a coloured epoxy resin material, Flowcrete's Mondéco terrazzo provides clients with a floor that shimmers underfoot. Throughout the cafeteria and adjoining play area, Mondéco has been installed in contrasting monochrome shades in an eye-catching curved pattern. Mondéco is extremely hardwearing and can withstand high volumes of foot traffic as well as providing excellent impact, scratch and slip-resistance. Its seamless profile makes it an ideal choice for environments where hygiene is a critical issue. Eliminating the grouted joints that come with tiled finishes, Mondéco terrazzo can be easily cleaned, without fear of dirt, dust and bacteria gathering in cracks and crevices. The terrazzo material serves as a perfect backdrop for the futuristic interior of the Lagoon cafeteria and Disney-themed play area.

Opened in September 2020, this space follows in the footsteps of the first satellite campus, Off Campus San Siro, launched in 2019. It is a place for teachers, researchers and students to carry out research and educational activities as well as joint design projects and field work. Davide Fassi, Associate Professor in the Department of Design at Milan’s Polytechnic University, and the Polimi DESIS Lab research group into social innovation that he coordinates, work on local district projects in the Viale Monza space. The Off Campus workshops are local initiatives that work actively with and for the community. How did the idea of creating actual offshoots within the city arise? The project comes under the umbrella of Polisocial, the Milan Polytechnic University social responsibility programme, set up over 10 years ago now. The idea was to set up a range of educational and research activities around the area, linked to the university’s field-based design, architecture and engineering activities. The concept was for widespread spaces, satellite campuses around the same size as offices or shops, that could give continuity to local activities while also being part of a system, operating (almost) 365 days a year in a portion of the city. I’m not sure I’d describe it as a trend, but this sort of initiative, setting up spaces outside university campuses is also being seen internationally, it’s not as developed but there are some interesting cases. For example? There’s the urban architecture world, with universities such as Harvard and Yale setting up actual open-air workshops where people are involved in producing fresh food. There are virtuous examples in China too, where the Tongji University in Shanghai has “adopted” the district in which the design school is located, setting up spaces for planning with local people. On one hand, it’s a bid to raise awareness of certain issues, linked for instance to social sustainability, equity, resource distribution and the fight against poverty and, on the other, designers attempt to dispel their “superstar” image in favour of being seen as activators of good practices, process facilitators, while conserving their fundamental design role. What do people who live in the city think of Off Campus? We’ve built up relationships through a series of initiatives over time: in NoLo, we started working with the incredibly active local social street (the Nolo Social District) in 2015/16. Over the last 5 years, we’ve managed to forge a connection, because when you embark on a shared planning project, empathy with the area is fundamental. After years and dozens and dozens of interviews and co-planning sessions, our launch didn’t come as such a surprise. Plus, the fact that we brought Radio NoLo with us and created a communal space with them has helped us become known around the area. Not everybody knows us but we’ve been well-received. An example of the actors involved with NoLo? Our early activities were connected with the media coverage of the area as a creative place and the home of hipsters. We involved local artists in a bid to work together on exhibitions of their work in unconventional art display places and this helped us get to know the creative sector and a range of commercial actors, and to understand that the coverage actually had far deeper roots that went way beyond this most recent phenomenon. Also, given the proactivity of the people involved, we carried on with the project and initiated a collaboration with the NoLo Social District. This meant that we had a huge range of people we could work with together on issues relating to food, to the rehabilitation of public spaces and finally the Market, where we are today. First San Siro, then NoLo and Corvetto next. Three areas that are the protagonists of change, from the new stadium to the 2026 Olympic Village. Where does the Off Campus intervention stand with regard to these new urban developments? It’s a complex subject that raises some considerations. We think of cities as living organisms, nowhere can stay the same for ever, and that wouldn’t even be desirable. Just as society continues to evolve and we can’t just keep people corralled in the places they go to and keep them static. From this point of view, therefore, one of our missions is to understand and help the ongoing processes with the competences the Polytechnic has to offer, and to see which actors there’s margin for dialogue with, even with political actions. We also have to take on board the fact that there are some aspects that go above and beyond any choices. For example, after some intensive work we progressed some initiatives for transforming public spaces, also known as tactical urbanism, which some have seen as gentrification. There are projects that improve the fruition of certain places. It doesn’t mean “making places for the wealthy” but improving the quality of everyday life for everyone, without necessarily creating divides. These “bottom up” processes do have to be matched by “top down” actions, geared to creating the conditions for guaranteeing access to housing, to homes, to the basic needs of a wide range of people. Milan and the 15-minute city. What does the future hold for the Off Campuses? Like all systems, this too has development limits, I find the idea of having 88 Off Campuses for the 88 districts into which the city is divided unthinkable. The idea is to set them up where there’s a need, planning opportunities and a proactive community. Proximity cities work like this: trying to subdivide a very large area such as the Municipality of Milan, into components that are autonomous as regards certain types of services, while remaining part of a system that benefits what is going on inside it. I hope and imagine that there’s a desire to introduce these workshops in many other districts, we don’t need them everywhere, just where there’s a need and a desire to pull together. Still on the subject of the future, how will relations between the university and Milan’s institutions evolve? What could be improved? There are already good relations and good practices among the various institutional bodies involved with design. The Milan Polytechnicwith all the design system, School, Design Department and Poli.Design have a series of collaborations with ADI and the other design schools in Milan, with the council, with the Salone del Mobile and with other culture-producing places such as Base and Mare Culturale Urbano. We can do even more and Milan is a system that works. The real challenge lies in bringing design, meaning not just design but also the art of design and process, into places where these practices are still lacking. Small, remote places, distanced from creativity. That’s where the real challenges lie, there’s so here much already. What Milan and these relationships need to do is to address what’s happening outside. Cover Off Campus Nolo, photo courtesy Politecnico di Milano Back to Top

Crewe Updated on: With Christmas just around the corner and the year drawing to a close, the team at Syrp wanted to release their last tutorial of the year: how to shoot astro panoramas. They announced the multi-row panorama feature a few months ago, and even though they feature Syrp products as part of the video, this guide is a lot more than that: from location scouting, setup and paying special attention to editing your images. This last section will be really helpful for photographers that want to make those panoramic images really come to life. Personally, having very little experience with Nightscape/Astrophotography, this video actually helped me quite a bit and got me excited to head out to do some shooting this holiday season! After launching their latest app feature multi-row panoramas, they discovered another way to capture the grandeur of the night sky, and this is where Charles Brooks and the video below comes in. Charles runs Opus Expeditions in New Zealand, taking adventurous photographers to the most breathtaking locations around the country. He has mastered the art of astro and in this video Charles walks you through the process of taking amazing astro panoramas. Anyone can take a good photo of the stars, but not everyone can get that mind-blowing effect that you’re about to learn. This is a very in-depth tutorial that goes from the gear he uses and location-scouting right through to post-production, and as such, we recommend you set aside 30 minutes and get ready to learn! We’ve got the highlights written out below if you don’t have time right now, so be sure to bookmark this link regardless. Find the Perfect Location As 83% of the world population lives under light-polluted skies, it can be really hard to escape these bright areas, as traces of light can persist for miles. Luckily in New Zealand this is a bit easier. There are natural nightscapes and dark sky sanctuaries all over the country, allowing us to indulge ourselves in some of the darkest places in the planet. Charles uses a website called Dark Site Finder to find the perfect spot for this shoot and Photopills to find exactly where the Milky Way is going to be at during this time of the year, thanks to their Planner and 2D Milky Way modes. The best season is different for the Southern and Northern Hemisphere. Composition is very important when choosing the right location, as the Milky Way should be perfectly situated on top of other elements that will also be in the frame to create an interesting effect. The Ideal Setup Capturing panoramas doesn’t require much gear other than a very sturdy tripod. In the video above, Charles uses the Genie Mini II Pan Tilt kit to automate the process and setup. This can also be done manually, but the post-production process might be a bit harder and there’s always the risk of missing a few frames. On this shoot, he uses an S PRO 50mm f/1.4 Lens on a Panasonic Lumix S1 and a Manfrotto 055 tripod. Traditionally, astrophotography required specialized, fast and _very_ wide lenses. When shooting Astro panoramas, you can replicate the same effect and quality using a standard lens, making this beautiful photo technique more accessible to the masses. Capturing The Stars When shooting the Milky Way, it is very important to move quickly to each frame as the stars are constantly moving. In the video guide, Charles explains the difference between the different panorama options and his ideal camera settings. He also explains how to ideally set up the Genie Mini II Pan Tilt kit to capture multi-row panoramas with ease and shares some secrets that will be really helpful later on during post-production. Post-Processing Your Images The rest of the video covers in detail the full process of post-production, so you can follow it step by step when editing panoramas in the future. Charles uses only three pieces of software: Adobe Lightroom to clean up the individual images, PTGui to stitch them together and Photoshop for the final touches. This process is as exciting as the actual shoot and its when your panoramic image really comes to life. Doing it right will make a big difference in the final result. Watch until the end to see Charles’ fully processed panorama ready to be shared with the world. About Charles Brooks Charles Brooks is an exceptional photographic talent. Since the beginning of his career, he specialized in portrait photography and landscapes. His stills of classical musicians are used continuously by the most important theatres and opera houses worldwide. On the other hand, his low-light photos of southern Chile, glowworms in New Zealand, and the night sky, all make the front pages of major social networks. After spending several years living in Chile and having a successful career all over South America, he is back in his home country, New Zealand, where he runs unique photography masterclasses and workshops with this company Opus Expeditions. These are some other impressive multi-row panoramas that Charles captured as part of this project: *Images and video shared with permission

This announcement represents a continuation of past projects, by rewarding the first buyers of the watches and collectors of the first NFTs through an exclusive approach. The thirteen unique NFTs are inspired by Japanese video games & TV from the 1970s as well as the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Black, the first collaboration between the Swiss watchmaker and Takashi Murakami launched in January 2021. These NFTs are linked to a limited edition of 13 new and unique Classic Fusion watches that will be at Watches & Wonders 2023 in Geneva. Twelve of these watches will be available for purchase exclusively online on hublot.com, which can only be accessed by owners of at least one of the 324NFTsissuedinApril2022aspartofthethirdcollaborationbetweenHublotandTakashiMurakami. These 324 NFTs were originally offered to owners of one of the two Hublot x Takashi Murakami watch models (Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami All Black & Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Sapphire Rainbow), before they were allowed to be exchanged on the decentralized NFT trading platform, OpenSea. The period between the announcement of the project in New York in February 2023 and the start of sales in early April 2023 in Geneva will allow any collector interested in one of the new watches to collect one of the NFTs available on OpenSea. Each buyer lucky enough to purchase one of the 12 new unique watches will receive a corresponding exclusive NFT. Hublot and Takashi Murakami take the watch as a work of art to a new level, by bridging the art of fine watchmaking with digital art. The 13th watch of the collection, unveiled in New York, is the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Black Ceramic Rainbow and it is also the masterpiece. Taking inspiration from the two previously launched pieces, this watch reinterprets the iconic emblem of Takashi Murakami: the smiling flower. Here, the 12 petals of the flower form a perfect gradient of rubies, sapphires, amethysts, tsavorites and topaz. Thanks to an ingenious ball-bearing system developed by Hublot’s engineers, the petals create a dizzying spectacle of colour as they spin on an axis with each movement. The kinetic effect of the petals creates a striking effect against the 45mm black ceramic case. The center of the smiling flower is placed on top of the sapphire glass to create a three-dimensional effect. The twelve other references, which will be available for purchase by holders of the NFTs on the dedicated ecommerce platform, recall the master flower and represent one of the petals. Twelve references for twelve hours on the dial, and twelve NFTs. The heart of the watch beats with the manufacture Unico calibre set in the emblematic Classic Fusion design, a unique movement that offers a 72-hour power reserve. As the third watch collaboration between Hublot and the Japanese artist, this launch is proof of the incredible collectability of this partnership. As the second step, collectors will then have a period of one year during which they will have the opportunity to trade the twelve NFTs on the OpenSea platform. In April 2024, at the end of this period, only the collector who has managed to collect all 12 of the new unique NFTs will be eligible to purchase the thirteenth and most sought-after watch: the Classic Fusion Takashi Murakami Black Ceramic Rainbow. In the event that no single person has managed to gather all twelve NFTs, the watch will be auctioned by Hublot to raise funds for charity. Previous Next Back to news

(Update: An 11th body was found later on the same day this news package was posted) The news package opens with a medium shot of a crowd of Palestinians holding a dead body above their heads, accompanied with natpop of the angry voices of those in the crowd. The AJE reporter, Jacky Rowland, then starts with a voiceover to explain the situation and draw in the audience: “Four little children who should be playing together are instead wrapped in shrouds.” The audience is immediately drawn in because they have questions and they want answers. Who are these children? Why are they wrapped in shrouds? What happened? It is important to note that her tone is somber throughout the whole piece, which was necessary to match the nature of the story. Rowland then begins to answer these questions while switching to wider shots of crowds carrying more dead bodies. After saying that a 10-member family was killed, she immediately shows the effect this has had on the Palestinian community by showing some tighter shots of grieving Palestinians. Next, she provides some sequence shots of the rescue team struggling to save the family. She opens with an establishing shot of the rescue team around the destroyed house of the deceased family. The shot is creatively framed through a broken glass window. The remaining shards of glass in the window (at the top of the shot) are visible and the audience can also see a person’s hand (at the bottom right of the shot) resting on the edge of the window, which allows the audience to see the scene from the perspective of this person. This shot is also helpful because it allows the audience to see that the Israeli missile blew out a neighboring house’s window, which shows the extent of the damage. The shot also matches the audio very well: “Israel bombed the al-Dallu family on Sunday; reinforced concrete were shattered like glass.” There is then a switch from wide to a series of medium shots to focus closer on a member of the rescue team in an orange jacket, working with others to save the family. A particularly effective shot was one from below, which followed an action taken by the rescue team start. The camera followed a person hand over a body to the next person, and basically just followed where the body was being taken. Next, Rowland uses a cutaway shot to redirect the audience’s attention to the family’s neighbor, Hala Al Ashi, who walks up to the shattered window discussed prior. This gives the audience explanation as to who the hand belonged to. We then get a direct quote from Al Ashi accompanied by a shot of Al Ashi, which follows the rule of thirds. She is looking slightly to the left so she is placed slightly to the right of the shot, giving her some extra space at the left to show that her eyes are looking in that direction. She ends the quote by saying, “We will not forget this image.” Immediately after she says this, we get a cutaway shot of a man kneeling over a dead little boy before he buries him. This is accompanied by a voiceover from Rowland, acknowledging that it is not common for an adult to bury a child, but right now, it is the reality for these people burying the child. The shot switches from medium to tight, focusing on the child’s face and then moving to the grief-struck face of the man burying him. We then get some medium shots of others present at the burial, and finally a shot of them placing the boy in his grave, bringing the story to its conclusion. Rowland then does a closing stand-up to summarize and end the story. It also qualifies as a scene-setting stand-up because she is there at the graveyard, which allows the audience to see that she was really there and makes the story seem more reliable. She then provides a cutaway shot to bulldozers removing the wreckage from the family’s house. This could also be seen as an information stand-up because she discusses how Israel targeted this house because it was said that a Hamas member was staying at the house, but there is no video to match this, so she just uses cutaway shots of other Palestinian civilians, reporting lastly that Palestinians think it was a massacre and not a mistake. Finally, she ends with a standard sign off stating her name, news organization and her location.

This public artwork will be on temporary exhibit in Kennelly Park before being relocated to its permanent location along the historic Erie Canal. This artwork will be the first installation, of several planned, for the Fairport Public Art Trail. The Artist was selected by a jury through an open call for art. The selected artist, Juan Carlos Caballero-Perez, is a Rochester metal artist and educator who works as a professor at Rochester Institute of Technology. Carlos earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts from Rochester Institute of Technology’s School for American Crafts and has several public installations throughout Rochester. His proposed sculpture, “Connection” is a stainless steel sculpture intended to reflect the rich history of Fairport and the Erie Canal. The Fairport Perinton Merchants Association is the funding partner for this project. The FPMA’s mission is to stimulate members’ businesses within the village of Fairport and town of Perinton. They provide a forum to exchange ideas to enhance the promotion of Fairport and Perinton businesses. The FPMA contributes to community pride through sponsorship of organized events and activities. One of those activities, the Duck Race, held at Canal Days raises funds to support public art. With these funds, the FPMA and the Fairport Public Arts Committee commissioned the artwork, which will be installed at the end of May, and unveiled at Fairport Canal Days.

In recognition of the performers who have helped make Athens a destination city for musicians and music fans alike, the Athens Music Walk of Fame will now occupy a two-square-block area downtown, and the first set of plaques were installed Wednesday. The inaugural class of honorees includes The B-52’s, Danger Mouse (Brian Joseph Burton), Drive-By Truckers, the Elephant 6 Recording Company, Hall Johnson, Neal Pattman, Pylon, R.E.M., Vic Chesnutt, and Widespread Panic. The inclusion of Johnson (1888-1970), a composer and arranger of African-American spirituals, is a reflection of how far back the rich musical heritage of Athens extends. "We’ve got so much talent in Athens," said Vanessa Briscoe Hay of Pylon. "I don’t know how they narrowed down this first list, but I’m very proud to have been chosen. Pylon isn’t a band that won statues or got invited to award ceremonies. I’m beyond flattered. It’s pretty overwhelming, really." "I’m really thrilled that R.E.M. is (among the honorees)," said lead vocalist Michael Stipe. "The creativity here allowed me to become the best version of myself that I could become, and allowed me the space to grow within that. I owe a great deal of (who I am) to Athens, Georgia." "I almost teared up when I heard about (being inducted)," said Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers. "When I moved to Athens in 1994, I didn’t know a soul. I didn’t have a band. I didn’t have anything. I feel like my life really began a week after my 30th birthday when I moved to Athens." Funded by the Athens Cultural Affairs Commission (ACAC) and supported by community partnerships, including the Athens Downtown Development Authority and the Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services Arts Division, the Walk of Fame is an ongoing project that will see more artists inducted each year. "All of these artists will be celebrated here on West Washington Street, Lumpkin Street and on West Clayton Street," Mayor Kelly Girtz said. "The plaque for Pylon makes me think of all the elements of our lives that have been enriched by these artists and their work, stimulated our minds, touched our souls and made our rear ends move." All 10 of the bronze plaques, designed by Athens-based graphic artist Allen Sutton, are planned to be installed in the sidewalk by the Athens-Clarke County Transportation and Public Works Department’s Streets and Drainage Division by early September. "The Athens Music Walk of Fame will enhance the visual and experiential appeal of downtown Athens," said ACAC Chair Andrew Salinas, "helping to foster community pride and a better awareness of our shared musical and cultural legacy for both locals and visitors." frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen>

Our philosophy is the platform of New Urbanism, a movement promoting mixed-use, traditional neighborhood planning over the segregated-use suburban sprawl seen worldwide. Co-founders of the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU), DPZ’s principals have been longtime advocates of urban growth through compact, pedestrian-oriented, transit-friendly communities that continue to shape policy and have recently influenced new sustainability codes. Our Method DPZ works under many arrangements, tailoring the process for each project. From conventional multi-step engagements, to pure research addressing contemporary problems, to the charrette, we seek informed efficiency and integrity of result. The charrette is a dynamic and stimulating process of design. A week-long work session assembles key decision-makers in an iterative design cycle of proposals, feedback and revisions, organizing a complex project quickly. Rapid prototyping ensures informed choices and saves months of sequential coordination. In a private setting or with a public audience, the charrette ensures a comprehensive approach and builds support for the vision. DPZ assists project implementation through approvals, and in many cases, marketing, first-phase detailing, and construction. For new community plans, a Town Architect is often identified to guide subsequent phases of construction. The term ‘charrette’ is derived from the French word ‘little cart’, referring to the 19th century École de Beaux Arts method of transporting students’ drawings while last-minute finishing touches were being applied. Our History DPZ was founded in 1980 by Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk as an architectural practice. Identifying the deficiencies of the suburban context for their early buildings led to a rediscovery of neighborhood structure and influenced the design of Seaside, acclaimed for its traditional town plan, streetscapes and buildings. Recognizing the need for an alternative to suburban zoning, the firm proposed a re-integration of urban components with the Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) in 1990. The TND became a model regulation for compact mixed-use neighborhood design, informing hundreds of municipal ordinances throughout the country. With several new communities well underway, Duany and Plater-Zyberk joined contemporaries to found the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) in 1993. CNU’s charter, annual meetings and numerous policy initiatives, are guiding an international movement of sustainable urban growth and community design. The firm’s subsequent initiatives have generated documents that reflect DPZ’s commitment to ‘open source’ – the Lexicon, SmartCode, Transect, Lean Urbanism, Sprawl Repair, Light Imprint, among them. Today the firm counts over 300 projects built, ranging from individual buildings and small urban infill projects to new communities, regional plans and zoning codes. Over 150 alumni of the firm continue to impact the built environment advancing lessons learned at DPZ. Our Partners Diverse in background, DPZ’s leaders enable the firm’s global reach. The partners are thought leaders, certified professionals, experienced designers, skilled facilitators for the public process, educators, seasoned speakers, and disarmingly charming. Andrés Duany Founding Partner Andrés Duany, architect, urban designer, planner and author, has dedicated over three decades to pioneering a vision for sustainable urban development and its implementation. He has influenced planners and designers worldwide, redirected government policies in the U.S. and abroad, and produced plans for hundreds of new and renewed communities of enduring value. Duany’s leadership can be credited with the plan and code for Seaside, the first new traditional community; the Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) zoning ordinance; the development of the SmartCode, a form-based zoning code, adopted by numerous municipalities seeking to encourage compact, mixed-use, walkable communities; the definition of the rural to urban Transect and Agrarian Urbanism; as well as inventive affordable housing designs, including Carpet Cottages and Cabanons. Duany is the author of many essays and articles, and co-author of several books, including Suburban Nation: the Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream.

For each app in the collection, Apple has created a free set of lesson plans tailored towards real-world learning with that app. In our case, their multimedia iBook “Art Authority Lesson Ideas” provides specialized plans for ages 5-12, 12-14 and 14-18. And the lessons are not just about art. Art Authority is used as the jumping off point for lessons about Literacy, Social Studies, and History too. The plans include both app-based and real-world activities, such as museum visits, poem writing, and drawing. One activity is specifically based on Picasso’s The Old Guitarist, and another is about the impact of the Byzantine Empire. Objectives, overviews and even rubrics are provided for each activity, along with the activity details. Apple feels that the benefits of the plans include: • Enriching the classroom with works of world-famous artists • Enabling comparison of works within the app, and to real life • Engaging students and building anticipation by exploring artists before visiting real art museums • Inspiring work in other subjects. This is not the first time that Apple has featured our app in a high visibility education event. It was also called out by Phil Schiller as one of seven “amazing” iPad educational apps in a Special Educational Event at the Guggenheim Museum, and has been featured in a number of Apple’s Back to School programs. We love it that Apple loves our app. As Apple continues changing the world in incredibly meaningful ways, it’s nice to know that we’re helping out too. Year 5 of the Art Authority Summer Intern Program kicked off earlier this week. For the first time, orientation was held through a couple of multi-person Google Hangouts. Over a dozen interns participated, with the sessions led by Art Authority’s intern manager Celia. Art Authority’s president, Alan, also dropped in. We expect close to 20 interns by the time they all get started. The kickoff was very successful. Interns could see each other and Art Authority staff, as they shared a bit about themselves, learned details of what they would be doing over the summer, and asked questions. Google Hangout was particularly appropriate, not just because it enhances the way interns can learn and interact, but also because it serves as a great example of one of the main goals of the program: helping modern-day art majors become familiar with Internet-based tools that will be essential to many of their jobs in “the real world.” The Art Authority Summer Intern Program is in fact structured around this goal of getting ready for the current-day Internet-enhanced real world. Interns work from their dorm rooms, home offices, or other location of choice, with the principal requirement being a good Internet connection. They use, and thus become intimately familiar with important Internet tools like Google drive, Google docs, and Skype as key parts of their day-to-day activities. Not to mention using and becoming familiar with apps in general and our industry-leading Art Authority app line in particular. And they learn how to structure and allocate their time in a “non-traditional” office environment. Of course being art majors, we also want them to learn about art, while helping to enhance our art apps at the same time. This year the Intern Program is focusing on less well-known, but still significant, western artists, none of whom are currently in the Art Authority collection. Using mainly Internet-based information sources, each intern will be become familiar with a different set of these artists, and help us in adding a number of works by each artist to the app. In the process, we hope they will gain invaluable insights into the artists involved, but more importantly into the Internet-era processes that go into creating a leading-edge modern-day art resource like Art Authority. Stay tuned for more about the program throughout the summer.

In 2004 Dougherty was commissioned to create the sapling installation Haywire, a massive birdhouse of sorts which captivated over two million visitors of all ages until its natural breakdown in 2011. Using sapling branches as his medium, he strives to gently create spaces that seem to have spontaneously formed rather than appearing to have been fashioned or manipulated by human hands. Dougherty fosters a reconnection with the natural world by inviting us to experience our thoughts and feelings within a woven world of branches. The community is invited to enjoy the grand opening of the installation, Friday, January 27, from 2:00pm-4:00pm.

The project was the initiative of documentary filmmaker Kevin O’Hanlon who collaborated with Haitian born artist Richard Laurent and a team of volunteers at the orphanage.  The children painted what they wanted to occur in their lives – a home for their family, trees, clothes to wear, a car to drive to town in. We exhibited their paintings at our gallery, Rogue Space \| Chelsea, New York and rebuilt their school with the proceeds. Now Franca Arts and Fashion Charity and TMS Group have brought the children’s art into the fashion world by creating a line of the finest cashmere scarves featuring the children’s images which will be launched this holiday season. With their sale we will create a sustainable community with trade schools, health facilities and and agriculture so the children will step into the world they envisioned and expressed in those first images. 100% of the proceeds go to the children. We hope you will support the project and help us make the dreams the children poured into their paintings become reality.

This Will Help You Decide! interior-design-welcome-packet.png Your interior design welcome packet is the same thing as you welcoming someone into your home. You wouldn't open your door and let them roam freely in your house. They would invariably go around opening up doors and drawers looking for clues of what they should be doing. They would constantly yell out your name asking questions all the time making you rue the day you opened your business. Instead, if you greeted them, thanked them and let them know what is in store (which for them could be scary as shit!) you're setting this project up for success. And usually a lot fewer headaches from your clients. Interior Design Welcome Packet: Get the VIP details you need to do your job You need to have your clients go through and fill out your interior design questionnaire unless you're a psychic designer and already know all the answers. Imagine designing an entire room for your client only to find out that they hate, hate, hate the color gray. You waste time and money and now have to go back and redo the entire project. Have them fill out your very detailed interior design questionnaire. If you have a Wordpress website you could purchase a plug-in like Gravity Forms (affiliate link). Or if you have a Squarespace website, that functionality is already built in. That's why I created the course on creating your website with Squarespace and show you how to create your questionnaire. You'll also want to see what pictures they are drawn to for the type of project you're working with them on. Have them create a board on Pinterest and let them pin like a fiend. Then you'll go back in there and find the common thread. You'll also get a great idea of what shade of a color they are really looking for when they tell you "something tealy blue with a hint of eggplant". Interior Design Welcome Packet: Get their measurements If you're doing local design and are going to head on over to their place you may already have their crucial measurements. If not, you're going to want to have your client schedule a time with you so you can do this. You can use an app like Acuity to help you do this. If you're doing virtual design work, you're going to have to show them how they can measure their space correctly for you. You'll need to provide them with an example drawing of what you will be expecting from them and sample elevations to show them how to measure windows, doorways, etc. Interior Design Welcome Packet: What the next steps are Whatever your process entails, outlining the entire process inside your interior design welcome packet in an easy to follow step-by-step way will help your clients feel at ease. Tell them what they need to do next. And also tell them what you're going to do next. Clients do not want to be left in the dark. They crave the security they get by knowing exactly what the next steps are. You can start by letting them know that as soon as they get all of their work done, you will get started. That you will send them an update by a certain date. That if they have any questions to contact you (via your preferred method of communication). Last, when they can expect to see the first round of work from you, what it will include and how they will see it. Interior Design Welcome Packet Save You TIME Time is money and that's why creating a process for your projects is so important. Beyond getting all of the important deets on the front end to make this project a success, you should also have: • Create pre-written email templates to make your life easier and your process the same for every client. Save yourself time and create your interior design welcome packet email to send to each and every client. • Create a project folder for each client, then create separate folders inside for their information, their before pics, their measurements, your working files, and the completed project. • Create a "How To Measure & Photograph Your Space" guide for virtual clients. Show them how to send you the measurements you really need. Reinventing the wheel at every step is costing you money, time and sanity. The majority of your projects should run the same way and you need a signature design process to call your very own. It's going to allow you to get faster with your work (and more profitable) and your clients will be so happy they know what is happening every step of the way. If you would like me to save you a shit ton of time, you can get an Interior Design Welcome Packet of your very own, done-for-you that you can change up to fit your business and send out to your adoring clients. It's inside the Interior Design Business Toolbox. Wanna a free checklist of all the steps to grow your design empire online, the easy peasy way?

Yet nothing is more exciting, from the perspective of the living-room cinematheque (a.k.a. the future of cinephilia) than the recent boom in experimental DVDs. Sure, they suffer on the small screen—and Flaubert is better in the original French, but that doesn't prevent translations of Sentimental Education from blowing minds. The latest blast from the avant-garde cannon, The Films of Kenneth Anger: Volume One, arrives this week on DVD in a terrific package from Fantoma. Proto-pop genius, gay maverick, hardcore occultist, master of montage, and, through his pioneering use of unauthorized pop songs and intensity of vision, one of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th century, Kenneth Anger is a cornerstone of the American avant-garde and a gift that keeps on giving. This long-overdue DVD crests a wave of fresh critical interest: 2004 saw the publication of an invaluable scholarly monograph on his life and works by Alice L. Hutchison, and 2006 offered a screening of Anger's latest short, Mouse Heaven (2002), in the Whitney Biennial. Scrupulously restored and transferred in high definition, the DVD is a dream come true for newbies, devotees, students, scholars, artists, stoners, black magicians, fetishists, and Martin Scorsese. "Like many people, I was astonished when I saw Kenneth Anger's Scorpio Rising for the first time," Scorsese writes in his introduction to the accompanying booklet. "Every cut, every camera movement, every color, and every texture seemed, somehow, inevitable, in the same way that images of the Virgin in Renaissance painting seem inevitable—in other words, pre-existing but dormant, and brought back to life through some kind of evocation." "Some kind of evocation": in its vague way, an exact definition of Anger's enchanting oeuvre. It's easy enough to place Fireworks (1947), radical as it was for the time; here is cinema's most exquisite fantasy of gay gang rape by hot teenage sailors. On the spare yet fascinating commentary track, Anger claims his inspiration was the Los Angeles Zoot Suit riots, but the influence of Cocteau is far more evident on the film's brazenly oneiric and onanistic pulse of images. Indeed, on discovering Fireworks at the Festival du Film Maudit, the legendary poet awarded it a prize, encouraging Anger to spend the next decade in France. Rabbit's Moon (1950), a lunar pantomime rife with autobiographical implications, derives from this period, as does Anger's involvement with the Cinmathque Franaise. At the invitation of Henri Langlois, Anger set to work editing the recently discovered original reels of Eisenstein's Que Viva Mexico! This deep immersion in the theories and practice of montage would have a direct impact on Anger's future work, starting with the astonishing Eaux d'Artifice (1953). Shot in the famous water gardens of the Villa d'Este at Tivoli, a marvel of 16th-century engineering and baroque imagination, Eaux d'Artifice deploys two ingenious formal strategies. Circus midget Carmilla Salvatorelli was flamboyantly costumed and sent wandering the gardens, her four-foot frame the only reference point of scale, resulting in a splendidly subtle warping of perspective. The film was shot on black-and-white film through a red filter, then printed with a blue one, lending the image a ghostly luminescence. Part trance film, part landscape study, part rapturous abstraction, Eaux d'Artifice floats along on sensuous dissolves and builds to one of the most visionary (and moist) climaxes in the Anger oeuvre. Some kind of evocation indeed: it is, somehow, his sexiest film. Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954) has the coolest title of any Anger film and many fans, though I've always found it a tad tedious. An orgiastic fantasia of mythic personages, crazy costumes, pancake makeup, hallucinatory superimposition, and lysergic colors, Pleasure Dome posits a model of pagan cine-ritual that would reach fuller expression in later works. For all his emphasis on magic, myth, symbol, and rite, Anger is as material a filmmaker as Brakhage. Puce Moment (1949) opens with a voluptuous shuffle of evening gowns in close-up, a rainbow shimmy of silk, chiffon, sequins, and beads. Emerging from the dazzle is Yvonne Marquis, styled like a Warholian Elizabeth Taylor, who proceeds to dress, primp, and prepare for the day, finally exiting her Hollywood Hills abode leading a pack of wolfhounds on a leash. A fragment of an abandoned feature about Hollywood women of the 1920s, Puce Moment crystallizes Anger's feverish obsession with the dream factory and his genius for wresting masterpieces from aborted projects.

Motion graphics designers or motion designers for short, are in general talented and creative artists who create illustrations and artwork for animation that would be used in commercials, film, movie trailers, TV, web platforms, cartoons, games, etc. They may also be individuals specialised only in animation and visual effects and may collaborate with other artists within a team, along with an art and creative director if they work for a large agency. Motion design engages people through animated simulations and improves cognition, while adding an element of entertainment into visuals. Motion design videos may also be used with infographics based animated videos representing data in an engaging way to make statistic data projection easier to comprehend by way of animated graphs.

Save Event: Lone Pine Club by Hayley Lock I've seen this People who have saved this event: Work exploring the relationship between conscious and unconscious production inspired by Austin Osman Spare. Lone Pine Club presents work that explores the marginal areas between conscious and unconscious activity. The research that Hayley Lock has undertaken has focused around Austin Osman Spare, an artist who worked across a number of areas and touched on many subjects including the occult, surrealism, automatic drawing and spiritualism. Spare has been posthumously connected to a number of groups, ideas and ideals, in an attempt to understand his approach and focus, leading to a number of myths surrounding him. It is clear that he trod his own path, exploring a variety of interests and amalgamating a number of different sources to develop his own philosophy, the Zos-Kia Cultus, which was a hybrid of magic and religion. The exhibition takes its title from the children’s books and subsequent real life club for readers from the 50's by Malcolm Saville that is referenced in Phil Baker's book Austin Osman Spare, The Life and Legend of London's Lost Artist. The phrase 'and we had adventures in our heads' connects the books with the mythologies that surround Spare. Hayley has been adopting a similar approach to Spare in terms of assimilating ideas from a range of sources to inspire the production of work that suggests a common philosophy and belief, resulting in an over-arching ethos that is intangible, indefinable and indistinct. By producing works with common connections, whether symbolic, graphic or of material, themes are inferred for the viewer to adopt or reject as they see fit. The exhibition inhabits three rooms, each having a particular thematic approach. One room presents a short looped film that has been inspired by Spare’s use of the ‘death posture’. This is a physical position that is adopted in order to connect mind and body to enable a deep imprinting of specific goals. Taking ideas from meditation, asanas (yogic poses) and psychological imprinting, Spare developed his own approach and technique. The film consists of a montage of diverse but connected found images that have been combined to suggest a loose narrative, but one that is intangible and unclear – with a meaning that will always be slightly out of reach. A female character features who is representative of Spare’s female spirit guide, a persona Hayley has adopted for the production of the work. The soundtrack and the film have an element of vibration that is integral to their function and also connects to Spare’s work. Have you been to this event? What do you think?

This iteration was designed by Massimo Vignelli and has been the core of the company’s image dating all the way back to 1968! To get a little historical perspective, DesignBoom posted a great logo evolution timeline, shown below. Here you can see the natural progression from a more ornate style to the simplified, streamlined logo that we know today. image source: DesignBoom I’ve actually always liked the ’68 American Airlines logo. It’s simple, attractive, features the three core colors that scream America (really the white is only implied here), and has a unique, stylish eagle to top it all off. It doesn’t get any more American! It’s such a solid logo that I’m not sure a complete redesign was entirely necessary, but they stuck by their brand much longer than most companies so I’ll forgive their desire to scrap it all and start over. The New American Airlines Logo For 2013, American Airlines looked to FutureBrand for a complete redesign of their corporate identity. Here’s the logo that they came up with: Before we start arguing over whether or not this new design ruins the integrity of the brand, let’s judge it as a standalone piece. For starters, the shape (which they’re calling “the flight symbol”) highly suggests the tail of an airplane, which is perfect for an airline. They don’t take the metaphor too far, but it’s blatant enough that few will think of anything else when they see the shape. Interestingly enough, American Airlines never even mentions this resemblance in all of their discussions of the new logo. Instead, they bring up three other factors about the shape: the eagle, the star and the “A”. Obviously, the new logo is an abstraction of an eagle in flight, which I think is extremely well done. It’s subtle and sleek. If you’re comfortable in analyzing negative space, the uppercase “A” is a nice little surprise once you get your brain to see it. The star is the trickiest of all. The way I see it, the eagle’s head doubles as the rightmost point of the star. Next up, the colors. Thankfully, we’re still showing off that American pride with red, white and blue. All three of these colors have a gradient applied now though, an interesting choice given that current trends are leaning towards flat. The gradients are well done though, they look sleek and attractive as opposed to cheap and trendy. I think they’ll hold up decently over time. It’s also interesting to note that a fourth color was introduced here as well: the letters take on a different shade of blue not seen in the 1968 logo. It’s a little closer to the color we saw in the 1945 version of the logo. I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about the new typeface, but no one actually states what it is that FutureBrand is using. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that it’s some variation of Frutiger (feel free to correct me if you know better). The letter shapes here seem right in line with the new logo. The boldness seems somewhere in between Roman and Bold. As you can see, the “c” and the “e” aren’t quite right, but it’s the closest typeface that I could find. Personally, I think the type choice is just fine. I’m not particularly excited about it but I’m also not one of these designers who screams for blood as soon as someone decides to not go with Helvetica. Chill out folks, Helvetica is awesome, but it’s also so ubiquitous that there’s absolutely nothing unique about it from a branding perspective. Along with the new logo comes a new design for the graphics on the side of the plane, which are referred to as the “livery”. Where the older planes simply had the logo on the tail, the new design features an abstraction of the American flag. Many are complaining that it’s not a straight up American flag, but I like this unique spin on the idea and I think it makes the concept more “own-able”. Did They Ruin Their Brand? There’s a lot of debate surrounding whether or not this is a successful rebrand. Keep in mind that I write a lot of these rebrand reviews and I’m a pretty fierce critic. I trashed the new Arby’s logo and hated the Florida Marlins refresh. I’ve also chimed and voiced my hatred of a few almost disasters like Gap and Tropicana. That being said, I like what FutureBrand has done here. Again, I’m not fully convinced that a new logo was even required, but given the request, I think they’ve done a great job. Obviously, hardcore fans of Massimo Vignelli are adamantly opposed to this viewpoint and absolutely hate the new brand. In fact, Vignelli himself openly disdains it. Personally though, I think a lot of this defense of Vignelli’s design is unwarranted. Let’s put it into perspective by examining the logo that he really created: Yep, that’s it. Vignelli actually refused to put in any kind of eagle. All the guy did was type out two iterations of the Helvetica uppercase “A”, make one red and one blue, and call it a day. You can use words like “brilliantly simple” and “genius”, but you know dang well that you’ve cried foul at the million other brands who have tried this recently. Granted, Vignelli did it before it was cool, but I’m still not going to bow to the genius of anyone who types out two letters in a font that he didn’t design and call it a logo. The eagle is a huge part of what made the ’68 logo work and Vignelli didn’t want it there to begin with. Ultimately, I think the new logo and livery boldly and proudly communicate the concepts of American pride and freedom wrapped into a shape that instantly makes you think about an airplane. For that, I say “job well done.” What Do You Think? As I mentioned above, this redesign is pretty controversial so I’d love to hear your thoughts about it. Do you love it or hate it? Why? What are your thoughts on how it stacks up to Vignelli’s version?

An interesting blog post from Owen Shifflett a month ago fueled a great debate. Chase Jarvis agreed. David duChemin defended inspiration. My thoughts on this coming right up, but first: Things That Fuel My Creativity Lately On the road totally immersed in photography, Mother Nature (well, and the internet) is the primary fuel. But for the past few months in Copenhagen my noteworthy fuel is: Friends. Friends from abroad visiting. Friends who are filmmakers. Twitter friends like C. Blog friends. Creating my new website and blog with WideRange galleries. Developing and creating all my new images. Guillaume Nery. New travel plans. Mark. Christian. Chase Jarvis. Vimeo. Learning to cut videos. Feedback on my blog posts like this one. David duChemin. Craft & Vision. Neil deGrasse Tyson. Focus For Humanity. VII’s work for MSF Starve for Attention. Reading. Writers. Music. I’m sure I’m forgetting some. Finally, days of feeling blue, down and restless are actually great creative and productive fuel cells as then I really need outlets. Creative Engine Runs on Rocket Fuel Is there a point coming up in our near future you ask? Yes! As Mythbusters have proved, free energy is fiction. My creativity needs fuel. I agree with Dave duChemin that imitation, not inspiration, kills creativity. My creative engine must be fueled by a mixture of two things: My own energy and external inputs to ignite the energy! The external inputs do not inspire me to imitate, they inspire me to create. To get out there in the world again and create, pick up the camera, fire up the spaceship. It is extremely important for me every day to fuel my creative engine. I’ll be the first to advocate that vision is the utmost important thing and the one thing you must keep in mind when you start your creative process. But you have to get to the starting point first and call me lazy, I need the inputs for fuel. If not, I end up running on empty, drifting without a purpose in all and no directions simultaneously. Children in Laos. (c) Flemming Bo Jensen Through the inputs I have fueled and found a great new project and purpose. I wish to try working as a photographer on humanitarian projects for NGOs. I am applying for the NGO Assignment Fellowship grant at Focus For Humanity. I probably won’t win having no previous experience in this field, but must shoot for the stars. I am also looking into very interesting volunteer opportunities at Photophilantropy.org. Like I said, no inputs and my engine sputters, need constant fuel for my engine so in summary: Inspiration does not kill creativity. Inspiration fuels and ignites creativity. 16 thoughts on “Inspiration Fueling Creativity This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed. 1. Cf 11 years ago I agree totally flemming 2. André Joaniss 11 years ago Yep, thumbs up from me, need that inspiration to get going. 1. Flemming Bo Jensen 11 years ago Thanks André. I suppose some people can create with no external fuel so to speak but still, every piece of art made must be inspired by something. 3. Tim Wootton 11 years ago Great post Flemming, thought provoking indeed! The websites you mentioned are quite interesting, go for it! 4. Zane Paxton 11 years ago I suppose if you pressed me into a corner demanding an answer, I'd say that inspiration is irrelevant. The Zen master might say that there is only doing and not doing, which does not include inspiration at all. For me there is a creative process. As an architect, I routinely distill chaos into order and there are processes for that that can be described and talked about. If I had to wait for inspiration to arrive, I wouldn't get anything done and would spin in circles. I did that a fair amount od spinning in circles when I first started architecture school. But… I do my very best artistic photographic work when my mind is completely blank and my sense of self has disappeared from my awareness. When my mind is cluttered with emotions and anxieties, then possibilies shrink to a pin-point. If I can get to "nothing", then powerful possibilities expand dramatically. So when I get to "nothing", then I get back "pure possibility" when the places reveal their secrets to the receptive (listening) mind that is not trying to impose anying on it. The lesson is perhaps being in a mind-frame to be able to see those quiet whispers of a place's secrets. Inspiration in the sense of being inspired by other artists or artwork has disappeared too in that mind set. But, paradoxially perhaps, the place when it finally reveals some of it's secrets is the inspiration to get to that state of mind. ;~] Hope that makes sense. 1. Flemming Bo Jensen 11 years ago Yodaisms, do or donut, big fan of that myself 🙂 Thanks for your input Zane, always great. I see what you mean about architecture and the processes. Some writer also once said "I can only write when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes every morning at 9am". Your take on artistic photography makes perfect sense to me, I feel the same. When I am actually at location and shooting I try to only focus on what I see, feel and hear, I do not have a tonnes of images flicking through my mind for inspiration to what I will shoot. I will only shoot exactly what I see and what triggers my eye. But to get to that point, I need some inputs that are then stored in my subconscience, they provide fuel. 1. Zane Paxton 11 years ago Further breakdown of my idealized process. 1. Get to "Nothing" so that I can really see what is going on, what is unique, the essenses, threads of continuity, etc. I then go though an inquiry process for a while, asking the simple but hard to answer questions. If I don't get those right, my success rate drops dramatically. This requires some left & right brain participation and integration. 2. Then we start to conceptualize what can be captured and then expressed. A goal of sorts and we start to visualize what the finished image will look like. Make some mental notes onthe quality of light, colors, color balance, what the mind's eye version is (never mere documentation). 3. We develop an expressive strategy to apply to the act of capture. That strategy continues back at the computer to refine the expression even further to relize the original vision/goals. 4. Analyze and evaluate if I achieved what I intended to so that I can learn as fast as possible. Part of that is the viewer's feedback. 1. Flemming Bo Jensen 11 years ago Love the breakdown of your process Zane, thanks. For me it is quite intuitive. I have described it as having a radar in my brain where I scan the scene and I wait for the radar to go off when there is something I can make visual sense of, something that triggers my radar. One thing I really enjoy is having closed the creative gap. I am now much closer to having the skills to create the image that I have in my head. 5. Zane Paxton 11 years ago Hi Flemming, I totally get the radar scanning part. But when it goes off,there still needs to be an analysis and evaluation to see if it is really the most powerful aspect or not. For instance, when faced with a great reflection, what is more important, the reflection or the "real" scene? Reflections are much more rare, so that has more expressive power so it should usually be emphasized over the "real" objects. What is unique about lighthouses? It's the light! When? At night in a storm! Then that inquiry and "inventory of what is unique, special, essenses, etc." gets tested and sorted out into the best expressive strategies. The challenge is in that we see in the right side of the brain that has no language; that goes a long way to explain why photography is so damned intuitive and hard to talk about. Language is in the left side. It's a development process much like learning to read to start to employ the left side as a powerful tool to test, evaluate and sort out what the right side sees. Most resist this process as intrusive, because it's work to develop that skill, but how can we really set up a process where we can learn and grow as artists as fast as possible? It's excruciatingly difficult to improve anything unless we have a way to start to have a language to describe it and to measure it. Trail and error is a long, slow and perilous path that can be quite frustrating. The upshot is that we really need to be able to talk about the process and what works and what doesn't down to useful and basic terms. Then its like the Japanese master who has honed and tested the skills to an unbelievable level, the process then completely disappears and becomes transparent and there is only the vision again. That is what mastery looks like. 6. True North Mark 11 years ago Great words there Bomontaruny! I feel honoured that i was listed in the list of those who inspire you dude…thanks for that! Not long now mate! 1. Flemming Bo Jensen 11 years ago Thank you Markie and no worries, your energy and go get 'em spirit is very inspiring. See ya on the boat soon 🙂 7. Charlene 11 years ago Jeebus Flemming, did I just get a mention up there with Christian, Mark and Chase Jarvis?! falls over I would purport that what inspires you, inspires you. Plain and simple. I think the reason people in the developed world are so fatigued from the influx of inspired-imitations, is that we all get to see them now. Previously, an aspiring artist's tentative prods into learning technique by imitation would have been restricted to them and their closest friends/family/mentors. We ALL get to see it these days because it's all online. But that's how we learn. From others. Most creative endeavours are inspired one way or the other, by something that's already there. It's how we learn. No seasoned pro got to where they were going without research and practice at the very least, before internalising the processes and techniques enough to produce something that has their own stamp on it. So in summary: I agree with you 😀 And a virtual apology if I'm repeating someone else's words 😉 1. Charlene 11 years ago Oh and Guillaume Nery, I meant to say in the first line. Guillaume! 2. Flemming Bo Jensen 11 years ago Yes. You did just get a mention C, you read it right ! 🙂 Good comment, a friend of mine said something similar today how at some point you get so good your own vision and ideas take over completely but to get there you need heroes and inspiration.

Yes, a real one. It works and everything. Actually, it’s one of the later models of typewriters–electric. (but not the kind with the screen where you could type like four lines of text before it actually went to the paper) Sometimes I have to use it and recently I have really enjoyed it. I have become familiar with the sound of the keyboard on my computer and even more familiar with the sound of my laptop at home. And then, I turn on the typewriter, slip in a piece of paper, and I’m…writing. The click of the keys, the need for correction tape, watching all the mistakes I make when I type pile up…it’s almost magical! I don’t know what it is about the keys, the sound, the DING at the end of a line. More thought goes in to what I type there. I’m slower and more deliberate, because making a mistake takes so much longer to correct. In fact, I’m not even sure we have the means to correct any mistakes made on that machine here. At least, none that I have come across during the great office move. Because it is harder, you have to take your time and really enjoy the moment. And even though the things I use it for (making offering envelopes, labels, the random form) are not that exciting, I get excited to use it. I LIKE IT, OKAY! 🙂 I am a dork, and I am okay with that. If the typewriter in the corner of my office can inspire me, then so be it. I am inspired.

Over the course of May and mid-June, the complete set of murals will be unveiled, culminating before the WorldPride 2019 \| Stonewall 50 season commences and remaining intact throughout the duration of the month’s celebration. Arlo is working with NYC Pride and LISA Project NYC to curate the amazing collection of murals. Both local and international artists were selected to create the murals within the five boroughs of New York. The first mural was done at A.R.T. NoMad, Arlo NoMad’s rooftop bar that debuted on May 1. The design was done by Wilfredo “Bio” Feliciano, a New York local. Bio started his artistic career in the early eighties at the height of the New York City subway graffiti movement, and thirty years later is considered to be one of the top letter masters throughout the movement worldwide. Join us for a rooftop cocktail and epic, first-row views of his newest masterpiece at A.R.T. NoMad. Arlo’s second mural is in the Courtyard of Arlo SoHo, and was designed by artist Indie184, another native New Yorker. Determined to express herself to the world through art, she quit business college to teach herself how to sew, paint and produce graphic design. Influenced by abstract expressionism and pop art, her paintings are raptures of color and textures fused with her original graffiti and street art, imagery, and designs juxtaposed with personal messages. Grab a morning mocha or happy hour cocktail in our Courtyard, and admire Indie184’s latest work. The full list of mural locations will be available for viewing at www.worldpridemuralproject.org. WorldPride 2019 \| Stonewall 50 will be comprised of more than 25 different events for LGBTQIA+ and allied people during the full month of June, 2019. Throughout the course of the celebration, all WorldPride events will ladder up to the foundational theme, “Millions of Moments of Pride.” Join New York City, and the world, this June as we honor the past, celebrate our differences and march together for our future.

September 2015 08:30 "I wear a stetson now. Stetsons are cool." I can no longer look at those cowboy silhouettes and not see the Doctor standing there. Gallifreyan Peacock by Meredith 11. May 2015 07:06 The loops and circles of Gallifreyan text reminded me of peacock feathers. Clara: But how is it doing that? How is that possible? It’s an oil painting. In 3D. The Doctor: Time Lord art. Bigger on the inside. A slice of real time… frozen. Cyberman Zen by Meredith 7. March 2015 18:01 The original painting was a stack of stones in a zen garden-like setting. Had to use the worst small brush in the world. I'm bringing my own brushes from now on. “You will be assimilated.” The Pandorica Opens – Cybermen The Snowmen by Meredith 12. December 2014 20:57 Latest painting. Not bad given how dark the room was. I had to fix the birds a bit at home because the lighting was so poor that I felt like I was painting in the dark. They are still crappy little birds, but whateva', overall the painting did what I wanted it to do. At first glance it is a rather sweet winter scene with birds and snow. That is, until you notice the sinister smiles of the snowmen. “Maybe it’s snow that fell before. Maybe it’s snow that remembers how to make snowmen.” – The Doctor Don’t Blink by Meredith 24. September 2014 21:52 The original painting had a wolf howling at the moon. The modification of a Weeping Angel was obvious. “Fascinating race, the Weeping Angels. The only psychopaths in the universe to kill you nicely. No mess, no fuss, they just zap you into the past and let you live to death. The rest of your life used up and blown away in the blink of an eye. You die in the past, and in the present they consume the energy of all the days you might have had, all your stolen moments. They're creatures of the abstract. They live off potential energy.” – The Doctor Time Lord Still Life by Meredith 27. August 2014 20:50 While at the event I was asked "What is that?" I replied, "A sonic screwdriver." "A what?" "A sonic screwdriver. It's from Dr. Who." "Yes. Doctor Who." True story. by Meredith 14. August 2014 19:46 I went to a painting event again last night. Added my own spin to the painting but had to finish up some things at home because they didn't have small brushes. Can you find the Dr Who reference? Adding dots and patterns was my attempt at playing around with a style of folk art I had seen Put a Tardis On It by Meredith 26. March 2014 18:42 It's bigger inside the painting. Went to one of those hosted painting events where they supply paint, canvas and instructions. It was seriously fun to kick back and follow along! The event was hosted at a restaurant/bar so we were able to get drinks and snacks while we painted. Good times. “In the Vortex that lies beyond time and space tumbled a police box that was not a police box.” ― Doctor Who About Meredith Cook Welcome to my repository of creative expression. I'm not a happy camper unless I am making something and over the years I have dabbled in quite a few different kinds of art projects. Some projects come from taking art classes, others are completely hobby driven, and projects like home decor come from a need to customize an item and make it better or unique. The overall theme behind what I do is to learn how to manipulate objects and practice what I know about visual aesthetic and good design. Oh yeah, and to have fun.

Taking photos with your digital camera can prove to be very enjoyable. Some will carry their camera with them wherever they go so they do not miss taking that special photo while others do it as a part time or weekend job to supplement their income. Whatever your reason may be for getting into digital photography, there are some things you need to keep in mind when taking your pictures. Before anything else, you must realize that you are the director and you will absolutely determine how a picture will turn out. Do not be shy in taking photos of people or climbing a little hill to get that perfect shot of the ocean beyond the trees. Let your creativity shine forth, and you will learn to appreciate your photos even more. Taking pictures with a preconceived notification of how pictures are provided to be taken is the wrong approach to take. With that in mind, though, there are some things that you do need to be aware of so your pictures will turn out right in the first place. One thing that some beginner photographers have trouble with is working with the flash on the camera. The flash can be your best friend or your worst enemy. You need to learn how your camera uses the flash with each setting or scene mode that it has. The camera will use the flash differently when the scene mode is set at a nighttime setting as opposed to its automatic setting. Use natural lighting whenever possible, but make sure that the sun is lighting the object or person you want to take a picture of the proper way. Taking the picture with the sun directly behind or in front of your subject will cause your photo to become either underexposed or overexposed. When taking pictures at night, do not get too close to your subject unless you want it to turn out very, very bright. Practice makes perfect, and one way to get that practice is to take many photos of the same object but at different angles, distances, and with or without the flash. If you want, you can keep notes of what the lighting conditions are, whether you use the flash or not, the camera scene mode you used, if any, and your distance from the object. That should give you a better understanding of what you should expect you to encounter a picture-taking moment with the same conditions in the future. Keep in mind also that you will need to devote some time to get better at your photographic skills. With time, you will develop a sense for taking a picture and having it come out the way that you want it to. Source by Aydan Corkern

About Pi Photography and Fine Art and Award Winning Landscape and Nature Photographer Melissa Fague Our Fine Art Philosophy on Nature and Landscape Photography “Art, and creativity in people’s consciousness is all things to all people and a profound reflection of man’s relationship with life. Art is a unique expression of the mind or innermost soul and feelings through demonstrating a particular matter or thing in its most profound meaning. It may portray beauty or aesthetic form of its nature. That reaches out into the hearts of others, from the wonders of dreams and aspiring illusions and never ending world of fantasy. It may be from its simplest to the most passionate expression of beauty or anything to do with various creations exploring a world from its most profound sense. It is the essence of the mind and soul by nature that was formed by expression. It may also be dramatically delivered as a form of communicating from oneself to connect into this world of reality with its undying purposes and reasons. In any such, art is like a world of magic flair with a deeper uninhibited touch of versatility in its meaning and design. Art is the icing of the cake so to speak when it comes to decorating; it finishes off any room, no matter if it’s in your home, office or dorm spaces. Art is also a great gift for moms or dads or even housewarming to holiday gifts; it will brighten the day for any recipient.” Nature and landscape photography communicates with a person’s soul and it helps us connect with the world around us. Both landscape and nature photographs can reflect an impressive array of memories and emotions, happiness and sorrows, love and hate, truth and fables. But is can also teach people and inspire greatness within us. However, art and photography does so much more; it’s a creative experience which explores the mysterious, the sublime, the unexpected, the often obscure and otherworldly, bringing fleeting moments of profound meaning into frozen moments of time; a moment that would otherwise have been invisible to us. Featured artist is national and international award winning nature and landscape photographer Melissa Fague. We are opening our doors to other artists in 2018. If you would like to submit work for consideration, please contact us via email. About Melissa Photo of landscape and nature photographer Melissa FagueMelissa Fague has always had an appreciation and passion for visual arts or visual storytelling but her career in photographic art did not start until 2009. In 2009 Melissa was involved in a traumatic car accident and endured multiple spinal surgeries; she was laid up of almost 19 months. During that time Melissa chose to learn as much as she could about photography through the Internet and through the Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online division. As Melissa healed and her strength grew, so did the passion and the curiosity for the art of photography. Even though most photographers have a specific style, Melissa finds something interesting and compelling about each field of photography and continuously explores them all. However, Melissa’s love for the outdoors always takes her back to the calming aspects of nature and landscape photography. In 2011, Melissa established PI Photography and Fine Art and in October of 2013 Melissa received her degree in Digital Photography for the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. With visual storytelling, Melissa discovered that there is huge potential to express a more creative and personal vision on (to some individuals) ordinary subjects that are normally passed by without a second thought. Focusing her attention on Delaware allows Melissa to discover not only beautiful landscapes that Delaware offers but the chance to invoke mood and character of the region she lives in. Seeking to capture the beauty, or convey the emotional qualities of a place or moment in nature, her images have elicited responses ranging from evocative, to spiritual and breathtaking. Melissa became a national and international award winning landscape photographer in 2014 and to date, has had over 3 dozen published nature and landscape photos in various media outlets. We invite you to visit our galleries, enjoy the exploration of finding the extraordinary in the ordinary and if you would like to read more about her journey please visit her blog...she is always willing to share her experiences with you.

Melissa's Artist Statement Nine almost ten years ago I never would have thought that I would be a professional nature and landscape photographer trying to inspire people through imagery and art. I had always loved the art of photography and admired the artistry of capturing mood, the story, and the sheer beauty the world has to offer but I never invested in myself or the art the way I do today. I can remember leafing through National Geographic’s' magazines and admiring the stunning photographs of the different cultures, landscapes and other natural elements of this world at a very young age. Honestly, for the longest time I thought the admiration was because of the photographer’s ability to travel to distant lands not for the quality of the photograph or the skills it took to create it…I was wrong. During most of my life I had a “Point and Shoot” camera that was always on auto and really only used for the usual family BBQs or events; I never explored it or the art of photography. Everyone always told me that my photos were good but I just thanked them and went on with life. It wasn’t until I got severely hurt in a car accident that I started exploring photography as a hobby. When the car accident happened late in 2009, I was laid up with little feeling and mobility for 19 months. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a busy body that never stops, so being confined for so long made me feel like I was trapped. Photography was one subject that I was able to read about that kept my mind focused on something other than the pain that I was enduring. So I invested in a better camera with interchangeable lenses, the Nikon D60…suddenly my world changed. I instantly fell in love with the camera and the results but what I really loved was the calming peace I felt when I was able to get out shooting. That same sense of peace occurred when I performed edits and whenever I viewed the images. In a way, photography was a form of positive healing for me. What I’ve learned over the years is that photography is so much more than a click of a shutter and a resulting picture. Photography is about the study of light, the study of angles, a story, an emotion, a reflection of someone personality, the ability to capture those moments for eternity and the study of an environment. In my opinion, photography is the story of the world that continuously moving and interacting around us. As I grew stronger as a photographer, I noticed that I see the world in a completely different manner than I once did. I see the tenderness of a mother's love as she gently pushes the hair out of her child’s face. I see the years of hardship in the winkles and dirt on the faces of the homeless. I see the heartbreak of the soldiers as they depart from their families, while they try to remain brave and courageous. I see the symmetry of a butterflies wings, the consistency of the hair that covers an animal’s body and I see all of the small natural details that form the vast landscapes of our world. All of these beautiful details that are encompassed in a person, a being, an area or someone’s story are key to making photography meaningful, artful and inspiring. Personally, I have always been a nature lover and I spend a lot of time out hiking, camping and exploring the wilderness along the east coast any chance I get. Having this level of comfort in nature and a passion for photography makes the field of nature and landscape photography perfect for me. Every cycle or season, every change in the weather possesses a new challenge for me to find and exhibit the beauty of those changes. While most people pack up their belongings if rain comes during an outing, I will unpack rain gear and I keep exploring the elements; there are countless nights that I have come home soaked from rain or chilled to the core from the temperature dropping….but I loved every minute of it. My goal as a professional landscape and nature photographer is to create art out of the natural world that surrounds us and exhibit the fine details of the objects that are normally overlooked in the daily grind. My hope is, when my photographs are viewed that the viewer not only sees the elements but feel and connects with the elements of the image; my hope is the viewer with have a sense of joy or peace. Nothing pleases me more than to know that my vision, my growth, and my work was inspiring or moving to someone else. My name is Melissa Fague and I am a photographic artist, I strive to inspire people through the art of nature by finding the extraordinary in the ordinary!

All my work is glass enamel on a copper base. I buy the copper shapes and then build up and fire the multiple layers of enamel that decorate them. There is always a layer of enamel on the reverse. This balances the tension to which the decorated surface may be subjected as layers are added to it. It also means that generally there is bare copper copper only on the edges of the shape or where it has been scraped away allow me to solder a brooch bar.

Because the black coat is laid over a base of clear enamel built up on the copper in some lights the copper may be seen, golden brown, through the black. The dish is 82mm in diameter, 8mm deep. The reverse is counter enamelled in blue-black. Delivery is by Royal Mail, first class, signed for. The range of patterns achievable by drawing into the molten glass is a constant fascination to me.

My charming new puppy Rufus is probably part of the problem (he is very demanding) but I’ve also been busy processing no less than 72 animal sculptures from my animal sculpture workshops. Having recently returned from my Borneo Art Safari, I had eleven workshop animal sculptures made by the workshop participants to fire and finish. I also had to finish the wild dog pup sculpture I had started during my workshop demonstration. This sculpture was auctioned along with a Bornean horned frog sculpture I had brought with me from the UK, which between them raised £1,700 for orang-utan conservation. workshop animal sculpturesMy workshop participants chose a wide range of subjects to sculpt, selecting either animals they had seen during their visit, such as a Komodo dragon and binturong, or creatures they had seen on previous wildlife trips. We used local clay for the workshop, which took a bit of getting used to but, thanks to the 100% humidity, at least we didn’t have to contend with the usual problem of the clay drying out. Once home, I checked over all the workshop animal sculptures, making sure they were safe and sound following their flight, before firing them to a high temperature to bring out the lovely terracotta colour of the Bornean clay. workshop animal sculpturesI then had to process another batch of sculptures were from my twins’ village school. Every year I visit the school and treat them to an animal sculpture workshop. I generally like to link the workshop with whatever topic they are studying. This year we made a Californian seal colony to support the youngest class’s sea life project. The middle classes were studying mini beasts, so I decided to make dragonflies with them. They used various found objects to create patterns on the bodies and wings of their dragonflies. After the firing I mounted each one on a stick so it can be displayed in a plant pot at home. The oldest children were studying endangered species, so we decided to model a group of pandas. I encouraged the students to think about the story behind their sculptures and how the animal is feeling, as this always makes for more interesting and engaging work. workshop animal sculpturesAll the animal sculptures are now safely packed ready for despatch and the children’s workshop animal sculptures will be home in time for the summer break. I should probably get on with some of my own work now! If you are inspired by what you see here, you can always book yourself a place on one of my animal sculpture workshops.

With vivid hues and battered sculptural surfaces, Betbeze’s works are layered and visceral. She describes the experience of making as well as viewing as “when seeing becomes breathing, stroking, tasting, and sound–often simultaneously.” By exploring the dichotomies of abjection/ beauty, abandonment/care, and destruction/creation, each painting gives the viewer a sense that these peculiar objects were found in their decayed but colorful state rather than made, allowing them to fluctuate anachronistically between the historical and the contemporary. Anna Betbeze: Dark Sun, which was organized by the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art and the Jarvis and Constance Doctorow Family Foundation, also includes a new series of smallerscale works on paper that continues the artist’s investigation of the inherent qualities found in her materials. In this case, Betbeze explores the paper’s rate of absorption through her use of saturated pigments, staining, and layered media. The relationship between the works on paper and the rugs is made apparent not only in her use of vibrant colors and textured surfaces but also in the areas where the white of the walls and the white of the paper peek through from behind the areas of color, creating a visual resting point for the viewer. Like the recent eclipse where the moon negated the sun, providing a moment of darkness and reflection on our relationship to light, Betbeze’s paintings are born from a similar negation. Using destruction as a force for creation, what remains are works that can be sensed as well as seen. Anna Betbeze was born in Mobile, Alabama, grew up in Columbus, Georgia, and received a B.F.A. from the University of Georgia and an M.F.A. from Yale University.

Twentynine Palms is on the northern border of Joshua Tree National Park. Not far from this residence, a trail leads up into the mountains of the Park to the 49 Palms Oasis, complete with palm trees, running water, birds, insects, and other wildlife. For centuries, this oasis has been an important important source of water for the various Native American tribes that have inhabited this area. In the mural there is a hole broken into the wall of the residence, and through that opening we see the 49 Palms Oasis in the mountains of Joshua Tree National Park. On the right, a young Native American woman with a basket on her head is inviting us to come visit and partake of the oasis. Outside the hole in the wall, on the left in the mural, a young Native American girl is leaning against a piece of rubble from the broken wall while contemplating the scene Click on an image to see full page 49 Palms Oasis Mural 9 x 25 ft., acrylic on plaster January, 2021 Twentynine Palms, CA

Don't miss any news anymore. We will inform you automatically about all news and trends regarding Creativeworld by newsletter. All press releases Sustainable, nostalgic, fun-loving - Creativeworld defines the trends for 2024 5 Sep 2023 As a trend platform, Creativeworld is the first port of call and guide for the hobby, craft and artists' supplies sector. On behalf of Messe Frankfurt, the trend bureau bora.herke.palmisano researches worldwide trends and techniques, materials, shapes and colours that will inspire the international creative community in the coming season. Organised in the three theme worlds Calm Essentials, Vintage Vibes and Funny Styles, the Creativeworld Trend Show from 27 to 30 January 2024 will give manufacturers and the trade live, on-the-spot orientation about what is to come. Calm Essentials focuses on what is elemental. "Less is more" is the credo. In limitation lie undreamt-of creative possibilities. Now more than ever, the quality of materials is gaining in importance: materials are recognized as precious - in the creative process they are valued accordingly. In the coming season, the choice falls on fine materials such as merino wool, cashmere and mohair: knitted fabrics feel even more valuable and are enriched by a sensual element. The natural and genuine is in the foreground, for example in the mixture of light and dark clay for puristically beautiful ceramic works. Restrained colours from off-white, ecru and grey tones to black go well with this. Strong ochre and a charming, delicate red set warm accents. Simple sketches or structures become reduced motifs. Graphic embroidery, quilted lines and checks or accentuated edges add sophisticated colour accents and stylishly enhance textiles. In this way, cushions or linen blouses are processed by hand and given a personal touch. Minimalist is also the jewellery design with rod beads: simple techniques are used to create effective results such as simple filigree rings. Drawings with coloured pencil, chalk and fineliner enhance the appearance of greeting cards. Carved linoleum or eraser stamps can be used not only for single motifs but also for two-dimensional patterns, as the print templates can be shifted against each other or superimposed. Sculptural forms made of plaster, clay or concrete conquer the third dimension. Here it is possible to experiment wonderfully with complementary materials of their own sensual quality: Paper cast in plaster appears transparent and creates subtle effects - simple and surprising. Vintage Vibes celebrate the charm of what has gone before: Nostalgic items are experiencing a revival. Heirlooms and flea market finds are artfully transformed into new favourite pieces. Old things are looked at anew with an unbiased eye; in the creative process, old things are appropriated anew: Textile designs, ceramics or papers are charmingly altered, painted and embroidered or simply serve as templates. Old buttons become unconventional stamps for sealing wax; floral motifs give even the plainest second-hand objects a nostalgic and sensitive feel. Everything is enchanted by imaginative, creative techniques. Thus, self-designed print motifs are reminiscent of the typical hatchings of old copper engravings; elegant flower silhouettes are transferred with a brush onto delicately striped bed linen; decorative stitches transform coloured cardboard into poetic paper flowers - the coming season sees in bloom a new passion for things with vintage appeal. Fine, old tablecloths become fashionable accessories like a fabric handbag; collectible cups and sugar bowls are transformed into original candlesticks - each piece unique. More than ever, social trends are reflected in the creative process: in fashion, feminine details such as jewellery show up across gender lines. Brooches, self-threaded pearl necklaces or embroidery details can be found on masculine shirts; a blouse with a large bow can be put together from two typical men's shirts, commenting with a wink on the fluid boundaries between the sexes. Hurray for humour and hilarity! Funny styles draw their inspiration from this. Strong, contrasting designs look cheerful, lively and full of energy. With dynamism and a twinkle in the eye, this style mixes different materials, contrasting colours and bold motifs in the coming season. Spontaneous, intuitive patterns and energetic neon tones take centre stage. For example, a crocheted mobile phone case with a carrying chain made of strikingly colourful beads becomes a fashionable exclamation mark. Colourful accessories and decorative elements can be made from paracord, such as elaborate Japanese knots for good luck. Together with the striking gift box, they become a colourful team that gives joy. Graffiti effects, cartoon prints and the characteristic black outline of comics are strong design elements. Well-known comic motifs and funny animal figures such as the duck and Lucky Cat serve as stylised embroidery, knitting and painting patterns; pictograms and pixels, symbols of reduced aesthetics, become motifs and design elements in their own right. The Lego© letter-print technique follows precisely these aesthetics. Funny styles are lively, playful and humorous. They are created by a look that retains a childlike quality: Why shouldn't a pair of socks have two unequal sides? Even when modelling, the surfaces are allowed to be uneven: perfection is no longer a standard here: It is the imperfection from which craftsmanship now derives its charm. The trend scouts: bora.herke.palmisano With personal passion, the trend bureau bora.herke.palmisano analyses international trends in fashion and art, interior and lifestyle for Messe Frankfurt. From their design perspective, Claudia Herke, Cem Bora and Annetta Palmisano explore which techniques, materials, shapes and colours lend themselves to the trade. Their industry experience is the basis for ensuring that the forecasts for the new season reliably reflect current consumer wishes and market developments. Last but not least, they also try out all the materials and new craft ideas themselves. So, they can convincingly present their experiences and the creative results at the special presentation and in their lectures.

Added value. Refurbishment of an appartment in the Ertle building, Oradea Refurbishing a dwelling is a sort of a constant architects’ job: most times, this is how you start your career but, and this is also valid for very famous architects, these interior design projects continue to show up long after your starting years.

The Hidden Church of Amsterdam Reporter: Ștefan Ghenciulescu Photo: Arjan Bronkhorst, Fred Erns, Ștefan Ghenciulescu, Georgiana Ghenciulescu The title above is not a journalistic metaphor, but is in fact the name of Amsterdam’s oldest museum (after the Rijksmuseum), established in the 19th century in a very special 17th-century house: the home of a rich bourgeois in Amsterdam’s golden age, which has a church as its culminating and hidden point. This is not a domestic chapel, but a public church, complete with an altar, pulpit, organ, upstairs gallery, vaults, statues, benches and seating for about 150 people, and so on: a unique example of a public space and sacred place, knowingly integrated into a civil dwelling. The long House of Crucea Project, photo: Mircea Vasvari Text: Cosmin O. Gălățianu My colleague, Vasvari I met Mircea Vasvari ten years ago, as we were both getting ready for admission to the university. I was coming, as many others were, as provincials (some absurdly coming from hundreds of km away), every Saturday and Sunday, to Bucharest, and we were attending five hours of drawing and descriptive geometry URANUS NOW. Exhibition, Digital Archive, and Public Space Installations Project initiators: Zeppelin, Ideilagram December 22, 1989 marked not only the fall of the Ceaușescu regime, but also the end of the megalomaniac communist project to demolish and then rebuild Romanian cities. Thirty years on, the collective memory of these destructions is fading away, while the aggression against the cities continues, even in an opposite paradigm – that of ultraliberal development.

Medical Clinic in Cluj The small yet functionally complicated building, uses all possible means to ensure a small scale and a dignified look, fit for the sensible historic areas where it lies. At the same time, the project literally digs up one of the city’s old water courses and generates a small space open to the public. Modul Cărturești. A cultural site between two courtyards and a portico Modul Cărturești is a new bookstore and, in the future, also an important exhibition space in downtown Bucharest, on Academiei Street, accessible from the portico of the “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism. The library does not simply take up a space, but also transforms it, being a first step towards reconstructing and, in fact, carrying on its original public and transparent character.

Yay! This time around we have Jennifer Peters, a student in the MFA program with a lot to say and share! Meet Jennifer! Name: Jennifer Peters Class of 2017 Major: MFA Visual Arts I am majoring in Art because… it combines some of my favorite things: an intense research-driven interest in the psychology and philosophy behind art and aesthetics, a passion for knowledge, and the ambition to creation something that is not only interesting, but thought-provoking. Honestly, it is the most logical path for me to take as I would literally be in an existential crisis if I did not ART. The kinds of things that inspire me are the playful interaction of light and shadow on a right breezy day; a soulful song with a kickin’ bass line; a deep, brilliantly colored sky with a really enjoyed learning about various theories regarding aesthetics and the philosophy of beauty, in combination with possible social implications a work of art may be alluding to, and of course learning about the art itself. On the other hand, I was very lucky to get into the last semester offered through MU, a program at Peters Valley Craft School. That was by far the most my skills were stretched and tested in a short amount of time, perfect for a student like me who likes to take full advantage of any summer classes or programs. Hopefully the partnership with them will be reinstated in the near future. Wink wink, nudge nudge. When I’m not in class I…work at an engineering firm. Currently I handle sensitive documents but a couple years ago I helped to design a local town’s welcoming area, complete with huge sign and a fancy clock. I also run a small pottery business called Under the Eaves Studio, named after one of my favorite Henri Matisse paintings. Mainly I do commissioned work, really enjoying the challenge, and will attempt to make anything from figurative or abstract sculptures to the ever-popular butt-mugs and stoneware dish sets. I also make holiday knick-knacks like pumpkins and snowmen to sell at local festivals. When I’m not playing with mud inside, I’ve usually got my hands in it outside. I have a pretty extensive herb garden, everything from cool mountain mint to the showy passion fruit vine, that I harvest and make tinctures, salves and teas from. Nature provides for what ails ya, and it’s really just the bee’s knees. The coolest thing I’ve done so far was… this is a hard question. Like, what is “cool”? Let’s see, I’ve traveled to several different states, my favorite so far has been Alaska. I’ve traveled to Europe and South America. In Guatemala I helped build a school with a modernized water system. I mostly just drilled holes in pvc and nailed things together but that trip is definitely one of my fondest memories: I met some incredible people, was eternally humbled by the poverty I saw there and yet was simultaneously lifted up by the joy I felt and the beauty in that misty, mysterious landscape. It was the first time I ever saw a spider the size of a baseball… that spider is now dead. RIP Kevin. It was the first time I ever had to shovel a bus out of a mudslide, the first time I haggled because that is the custom and the first time I was convinced that saints really do exist. The woman who is in charge of the mission program, MiRefugio, practically glows with lovely silver light. On a much more personal level, I managed to get myself clean from a fairly substantial, life-ruining addiction to heroin. Ten years sober, so that’s pretty damn cool. The journey back from that particular hell was not only tremendously terrifying, but also brutally enlightening. I have visited Mont Saint-Michel at sunset; successfully poured molten bronze into a tiny little mold; read a 600 page book in 24 hours; flown in a small four-seater plane, piloted by my dad; had the privilege of folding the flag at the American Cemetery in Normandy; and once completely trapped my hands with an automatic trunk lid, without breaking any fingers. So you see, it really depends on what your definition of cool is. When I graduate I plan to…stare into the eternal abyss. After that brief moment, I will continue to develop my portfolio, one that displays my strengths and interests, in order to apply for jobs. I graduate in just a few months so I’ve already started putting out some feelers to a couple different companies and universities, keeping my options open and looking for quality employment, anything from product/toy design to museum and faculty positions. I truly enjoy learning and setting a challenge for myself, therefore, over the next several years I will also be working towards a PhD, with emphasis on philosophy and design, particularly that of man-made sacred objects & architecture that mimics nature. I’d recommend the Art program at Marywood because… the facilities are pretty bomb. Did you know we have a forge? And Tim Clauss? He is like a walking encyclopedia of how to make stuff, literally anything. So good. Who is your favorite artist, and why do they inspire you? I have a couple different art heroes. This concept relatively new to me, brought to my attention the first semester I had at MU, with Professor Bob Griffith. He asked me who my art hero was and I had literally never thought about it before. Like, duh! So now I have two main people that I really dig: Andy Goldsworthy and Chiharu Shiota. Goldsworthy is an environmentalist sculptor who makes site-specific sculptures and land art situated in natural and urban settings. The way he uses the palette of available material to make the earth vibrant with color and movement is wicked cool. Shiota does these massive installations that are collections of objects, a network of thread, yarn and possessions. Her work brings to light the concept of memories and the expression of human activity. I also get inspired by the massive steel forms of Richard Serra, the technical and delicate beauty of Hara Kiyoshi’s pottery and the impressive shape-work of Beate Kuhn. I think it’s best to get inspiration and information from many different sources, this way you are well-equipped to make a true decision, whether in art or in life. Here is some of Jennifer’s awesome art! Thanks for sharing your art and the inner workings of your mind with us!

Lye has interested me for a while. I discovered him the first time in the eighties when MTV screened his experimental films between music videos (yes, they still showed music videos back then). I then rediscovered Lye through his kinetic sculptures a few years back when I was doing research on motion. I became particular fond of Lye´s “figures of motion”, he described his raw material as not being film or steel, but motion. HKS, which has never presented the work of a non-living artist before, was eager to do an exhibition on Lye, based on my enthusiasm for his work. We ended up showing six of his films in the gallery, presented one at a time on three screens of different size, thus forcing the audience to move around and relate to his work at different scale. In this way the presentation of his films became a choreography of the movement between the screens. It was great to see his films in high quality digital copies which really brought forward the textures from the paint strokes and scratches in the original film. Presenting Lye´s films by showing restored digital files projected by video-projectors onto custom-built screens obviously influences how the films are perceived (Maybe not even Lye has ever seen them in such a good quality). We were intent on focusing on the relation between colour,texture, movement, rhythm, sound and scale instead of making a historical pristine presentation. The films we showed in the exhibition were A Colour Box (1935), Trade Tattoo (1937), Swinging the Lambeth Walk (1939), Rhythm (1957), Free Radicals (1958, re-edited 1979) and Particles in Space (1957, finished in 1979). We also had several side programs during the exhibition period, including the lecture The Musicality of Modernism by Per Kvist, a screening of the documentary A flip and two twisters, as well as a live evening, Len Live, where we invited three sound artists, Lasse Marhaug, Maia Urstad and Espen Sommer Eide, to create three different soundtracks to Lye´s film Tusalava (1929). For those interested in checking out Lye´s films in a quality better than the pixelated youtube copies circulating I would recommend the DVD release. As part of the preparation for the exhibition we got the chance to go twice to the IKON gallery in Birmingham which had a Len Lye retrospective from november 2010 to february 2011. This gave me the rare opportunity to see some of Lye´s kinetic sculptures, which I made a small documentation from. Get every new post delivered to your Inbox. Join 140 other followers

At first glance, it isn’t a building that our untrained eyes would be likely to associate directly with Antoní Gaudí. Its medley of towers, arched windows, and fanciful shutters immediate transport us to distant, exotic places. The forms of which Casa Vicens is composed are very different from those we are accustomed to seeing in other buildings designed by Gaudí. Casa Vicens is considered to be example of what is referred to among the various stages of Antoní Gaudí’s architectural career as his orientalist period (1883-1888). While a student at the Escola Provincial d’Arquitectura de Barcelona, Gaudí had the opportunity to view and study prints, photographs, and treatises on ornamentation, the architectural language of buildings and other structures in Egypt, Morocco, and India, and the Islamic architecture of the Iberian Peninsula—particularly the exemplars found in Cordoba, Granada, and Seville. The roof lanterns, skylights, and minarets, as well as the profusion of ceramic and ornamental features typical of the architecture of these foreign countries, formed part of the architectural vocabulary Gaudí absorbed during his studies. The School of Architecture’s collection of photographs by Jean Laurent, which Gaudí had access to and according to his notebook studied in detail, attest to his familiarity with these sources of knowledge. If we compare one of Jean Laurent’s archive images to aspects of Casa Vicens, such as the facade, we can quickly detect the influence of oriental architecture, above all in the towers and turrets situated on the various corners of the roof. Gaudí drew inspiration from exotic schools of architecture in order to create an environment that would whisk his client Manel Vicens i Montaner off to a distant world that offered an atmosphere completely distinct from that of late nineteenth-century Barcelona. Although the oriental influence is the most evident in Casa Vicens, we can not forget the classical influence that we find in the floor of different rooms of the Casa Vicens, with a Roman-style mosaic flooring of opus tessellatum (Greek and Roman composition made by incrusting tesserae, small pieces of stone or ceramic) that Gaudí used again in later works.

George Rodriguez addresses sensitive sociopolitical issues through his highly ornamented figurative ceramic sculptures with a tongue in cheek ease that is evident in the sense of warmth his works convey. Themes of culture and identity recur throughout his sculpture, celebrating the unique attributes of diverse cultures as well as the similarities that unite us all. Rodriguez’s ceramic sculptures eloquently communicate the emotions they embody, figures spanning a wide range of forms and personalities. Aspects of certain forms echo elements of African, Italian, and South American ceramic traditions, yet the resulting pieces are dynamically modern.

Without variations in brightness (tonality) a black-and-white image would be nothing more than a solid gray rectangle. But the same concept applies to color images as well. Without luminosity you wouldn’t be able to see the folds in a piece of fabric or the shape of a mountain. There would be no way to distinguish the light and dark areas of the same color. Luminosity, more so than color, is the key to defining shapes and showing detail in an image, b&w or color. I’ve been on a three-year quest to understand how best to manage luminosity, particularly in Photoshop. My goal in Part 1 of this article is to explain what I’ve learned along the way towards my current luminosity workflow. Yes, I could simply jump to my current techniques, which I will instead cover in Part 2, but I think the evolution and order of presentation is important to developing a clear understanding of how the more advanced techniques work and how and when they should be used. Sorry to be such a tease, but I think you’ll thank me in the end. I’ve pulled together these tools and techniques for managing and improving luminosity from a variety of sources. Almost none of them are of my own invention, and even those I thought were so clever turned out to be invented by someone else long before. Although I’ve included a few examples and even some step-by-step moves, rather than describe every tool and technique in detail, I’ve opted wherever possible to link to a webpage or video that explains the technique better than I can do within the scope of this article. Note: This article is based on my presentation to the Marin Photo Club’s Advanced Photoshop SIG in March 2013. Special thanks to Scott Loftesness for discovering and researching many of the techniques and resources described here and for providing feedback at various stages. The Big Picture: Where Does Luminosity Adjustment Fit in the Workflow? After correcting camera/lens issues (chromatic aberration, distortion, white balance) and recovering highlights and shadows in Adobe Camera RAW (ACR), Lightroom, etc., the next step is to work on an image’s luminosity. This is true regardless of whether it’s a color or monochrome image. In other words, luminosity adjustment comes right after initial RAW processing of an image either in Lightroom or ACR. Hierarchy. Instead of grouping techniques according to the problems they solve (e.g., putting all the highlight-recovery techniques together), I’ve organized them according to the complexity of the concepts that underlie the techniques. The sequence is also more-or-less the order in which I learned the techniques as I’ve delved deeper and deeper into Photoshop and learned from the gurus of luminosity. Below is an outline of those increasingly sophisticated concepts. These are not steps in a workflow. They’re just categories of different ways to understand and solve the same problems of adjusting the luminosity of an image. Over time, as your Photoshop skills improve and you learn more about these techniques, you’ll find you’re drawn to using those in the categories farther down the list. Starting with the most basic, here are the techniques for dealing with image luminosity: • Global Adjustments. Alter the entire image using direct image adjustment or adjustment layer (e.g., Brightness/Contrast, Curves) • Local Adjustments. Use an adjustment brush (e.g., the Dodge and Burn tools) or a similar tool to affect only part of the image. • Global Adjustments with Masks. Use a global adjustment to alter the entire image, but control which portions are affected using a layer mask. The mask might be: • a manually created selection (affects specific areas) • a channel used as a mask (affects areas according to color and luminosity) • a luminosity mask (affects areas according to luminosity regardless of color) • Luminosity Replacement. Generate a new luminosity (layer or channel) using techniques such as: • use one channel (e.g., red, green or blue) to redefine the luminosity of all colors; • use one or more channels to redefine the luminosity of the image, selecting the areas, ranges or luminosity values affected using masks; or • creating a separate monochrome version of the image and using that to redefine the luminosity of the color image. • Luminosity Painting. Use any of the above techniques to create an enhanced luminosity layer, but apply that layer by brushing with an active selection (based on yet another channel/mask) to control where the effect is applied. I’ll explain luminosity masks and luminosity painting in Part 2 of this article. Seeing the Luminosity. To view the luminosity of an image — we’ll assume for the rest of this discussion that we’re working with a color image — here are three techniques: • Desaturate the image. Image->Adjustment->Desaturate (⌘-shift-U on Mac). • In the Channels palette, look at each of the RGB channels separately (⌘-3,4,5 on Mac). • To see all ten usable channels (RGB, CMYK, Lab) get the Channels Power Tool (€20, highly recommended). The CPT plugin also simplifies applying channels to layers and masks, which we’ll use in later techniques. The images below illustrate the before/after effect of the Desaturate command. Notice how similar the previously blue and yellow areas appear because they have very similar luminosity values. Also note that the number “1” on the hull is nearly invisible because it has almost the same luminosity value as the area immediately around it. The four images below illustrate the contents of the individual color channels. Note, for example, how much difference there is between the blue and yellow areas in the B channel. Yellow is the complement of blue and hence appears very dark in the B channel. Also note how the number “1” on the boat’s hull appears much more clearly in the R channel than in the other color channels or the full RGB image. We’ll look at ways to use the R channel to enhance that detail in the color/RGB image later in this article. (Mark Lindsay’s Channeling Channels is a good introduction to the concepts of channels.) Global Luminosity Adjustment Tools. Photoshop includes a number of tools in the Image->Adjustments menu for making adjustments to luminosity of the entire image. You may have thought they were too simplistic to bother with, but you should become familiar with each of them. There are many situations in which they’re more valuable than you might expect, particularly when manipulating masks. The same or similar tools are also available as Adjustment Layers, which is the preferred way to use them in most cases since Adjustment Layers are non-destructive. I generally only se the menu-based adjustments to increase the contrast of a layer mask — something I can easily restore if I’m not happy with the results. • Brightness/Contrast • Shadows/Highlights • Threshold (sometimes useful in mask manipulation) Below is a before/after example of a global luminosity adjustment (a Levels adjustment in this case). Local Luminosity Adjustment Tools (Dodge & Burn). Dodging and burning are techniques every photographer should learn. As opposed to global changes in contrast and exposure, these local adjustments are where you really learn to producer richer images with more depth and detail. They’re also the basis for the most advanced technique we’ll cover in Part 2, luminosity painting. There are a variety of ways to selectively dodge (lighten) and burn (darken) specific areas of an image. The simplest are the Dodge and Burn tools that have been a part of Photoshop for many years. The Dodge and Burn tools are destructive, so before using them make a copy of the layer you want to adjust. The only way to reliably reverse the effect of these tools in their normal use mode is to use the Undo command. An advantage of these tools, however, is that you can elect to alter only the highlights, midtones or shadows of an image using a pull-down in the tool’s property area. For example, if you dodge an area of high contrast that has both light and dark areas, the light areas will be lightened while the dark areas will be far less affected. Hence the contrast will be increased. As we look at increasingly more powerful techniques, we’ll see better and better ways of dodging and burning your images. Consider Working in Lab Color Mode. When working in the RGB colorspace, particularly when making substantial adjustments, increasing contrast using the above tools has the unwanted side effect of also increasing color saturation. There are two solutions to this problem. The first (and my preference) is to use these tools in Lab color mode in which you can adjust the L channel (Luminance) independent of the a & b (color) channels. Rather than convert your entire image to Lab (and possibly mess up some of the adjustments you’ve already made), use Image->Duplicate… and select Duplicate Merged Layers Only. Then convert the copy to Lab mode (Image->Mode), make your adjustments, merge the layers, and finally copy the Lab image onto the RGB version. The Lab image will appear as a new layer, which you can then temper with the Opacity adjustment. Sidebar: Copying Images as Layers. A few students have told me they didn’t know how to copy one image onto another as a new layer. I couldn’t locate a short video on this topic, so here are the steps in longhand. • To start, your images must be exactly the same size (in pixels). • Enable the Move tool (keyboard shortcut: v). • Hold down the shift key, which tells Photoshop you want the source image to be aligned with the target image. • If you’re in tab-view mode, drag the source image to the destination image’s tab, but don’t release either the mouse button or the shift key. Wait for a moment for the destination image to appear, then continue dragging into the destination image itself. Release the mouse button and the shift key. • If you’re in a tiled-view mode, drag and drop the source image to the destination image, then release the shift key. For example, the left image below is the original. The center and right images show the results of Levels adjustments of gamma=0.35. The center one was done in RGB mode and illustrates the increased saturation. The right image was done in Lab mode and demonstrates that only the contrast has changed. The Lab color mode is an extraordinarily powerful tool but beyond the scope of this discussion on luminosity. For more information on using Lab color, start with my post on Lab Color and My Workflow du Jour. Get to Know Blend Modes and Blend-If. From here on, you should be comfortable with both blend modes and the blend-if options in Photoshop’s Layer Style dialog box. I’ve previously written an article on Blend Modes in Photoshop that should get you started. Dodging and Burning with Blend Modes. Once you understand blend modes there are better ways to do almost anything when it comes to luminosity in Photoshop. Blend modes give us two better ways to do dodging and burning. The first variation is to make your adjustments on a new layer in Overlay (strong) or Soft Light (weaker) blend mode filled with 50% gray. The advantage is that you can undo your dodging and burning either by using the Eraser tool or by painting with a 50% gray brush. The disadvantage is that you’ll no longer have the option of selectively altering the highlights, midtones or shadows. The second technique is to paint with a black or white brush on a 50% gray layer set to Overlay or Soft Light blend mode. This has the same strengths and weaknesses as using the Dodge and Burn tools. I recommend two videos on this technique, both of which will also lead you to a slew of other great videos: Aaron Nace’s Dodge & Burn, and Sean Bagshow’s Dodge & Burn. If you’re new to or uncertain about blend modes, these videos will help. Highlight/Shadow Recovery (Blend Modes). Another simple technique using blend modes is to enhance the brightest and darkest areas of your image. You can’t truly recover blown-out highlights (or plugged-up shadows) with Photoshop, but you can to some extent darken (lighten) and increase the contrast in those areas to show more detail. (If your original image is in RAW format, you can recover at least some of the highlight and shadow information, but you need to do that in your RAW processing software — Lightroom, ACR, etc. — before bringing your image into Photoshop.) To darken highlights, duplicate the background layer, then change the blend mode of the top layer to Multiply. This will darken everything, so go into Layer Styles and use the This Layer blend-if sliders (aggressively!) to restrict the darkening to only the highlight areas. To lighten the shadows, do the same as above, but use Screen mode instead of Multiply and use blend-if to keep the effect out of midtones and highlights. The four images below illustrate how these techniques can be used separately and together. Masks and Selections. The above examples of highlight and shadow recovery were created using only blend modes and the blend-if feature. But to combine the recovered images into the final “Both” version I had to use a layer mask filled with a gradient. That’s because I couldn’t create a smooth transition of the midtones in the image (the background mountains and some of the red soil in the foreground) using blend-if. You’ll frequently find that using continuous-tone masks such as gradients and masks created from the color channels (e.g., the red, green and blue channels) are very helpful in isolating the effect of your adjustments to specific areas or tones within an image. We’ll see much more about this in Part 2. Because so much detail is contained in the luminosity of an image, you’ll likely find the traditional means of creating a selection or mask (e.g., the lasso tools, the quick selection tool and the magic wand) are far less helpful than you might expect. These tools create all-or-nothing rather than continuous-tone selections, and even if you try to adjust or soften their edges (e.g., using Refine Edge), you often don’t get what you want. In Part 2 we’ll explore many opportunities to use color channels as masks. Not only are channels continuous-tone, they’re also self-feathering, guaranteeing smooth transitions between selected and non-selected portions of your image. Furthermore, hard-edge selections create masks that contain no detail except at their edges, whereas masks made from channels retain all the detail from that channel. Get to Know Channels and Apply Image. The techniques described in the remainder of this article require that you copy images or channels to layers or masks. There are a number of keyboard shortcuts, but they’re hard to remember and not very flexible. The fundamental tool for copying images or channels to other places is the Image->Apply Image… dialog box. I suggest you read Harold Davis’ Using Image Apply Image on photo.net. Don’t be scared off by the length of the article. Alternatively you can search the Internet for Photoshop Apply Image Video to find many video tutorials on the topic. Luminosity Enhancement Using Channels. The objective of luminosity enhancement is to bring out detail in desired areas of an image. Bringing out detail generally means increasing contrast within those areas, for it’s contrast that allows us to see detail. Unless an image is strictly black-and-white, there is always more contrast in one of the color channels (R, G or B) than in the image overall. The most basic of the luminosity enhancements techniques is to replace the overall luminosity of the image with the luminosity of the color channel that has the most desirable contrast and therefore detail (using the Image->Apply Image… dialog as shown above). The following channel-replacement technique is recommended by many of my personal Photoshop gurus: Mark Lindsay, Lee Varis and Dan Margulis. A good way to learn more is to start with Lee Varis’ free 10-Channel Workflow videos (Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4). Part 2 deals specifically with the steps to perform this enhancement: • Open the Channels palette and select the best channel. That’s best in terms of contrast in the area you want to enhance. If you have the previously mentioned CPT plug-in, you can use it to generate a preview of not just the RGB channels, but also the CMYK and Lab channels. • Add a new empty layer and change its blend mode to Luminosity. • Use Image->Apply Image… (or the CPT plug-in) to load the new layer with the selected color channel. • For even more detail, use a Curves or Brightness/Contrast adjustment to increase the contrast in the desired area. • Optionally, if you want to restrict the enhancement by color and/or luminosity, use the blend-if sliders in the new layer’s Layer Styles dialog box. • As a last resort, if you want to restrict the enhancement to a specific area, you can generate a layer mask. Using the bend-if method is preferred because it can be feathered, whereas creating a mask using selections often causes undesirable hard edges. • Note that if you’re working in the Lab colorspace, you can simply replace the L (luminance) channel rather than generate a separate layer in Luminosity mode. The before/after images below illustrate the effect of using the red channel as the source for the luminosity layer in Lab color mode. Note that the “1” on the hull is much more clearly defined. The blend-if sliders were used to reduce the contrast increase in the blues, and this could be carried further using more of the techniques described in Lee Varis’ videos. Doug’s Luminosity Shortcut. Although I cut my luminosity teeth on the channel-replacement techniques recommended by Varis, Lindsay, Margulis and others, I’ve pretty much switched to a simpler, quicker and in some ways more-powerful technique. I arrived at this technique by asking myself, “If the best luminosity for a color image is a good black-and-white image, why not just use the best tool for making b&w images?” My personal favorite b&w tool is Nik’s Silver Efex Pro 2, and I’ve described the method of using that plugin for managing the luminosity of color images in Silver Efex Pro for Color Images. Luminosity Masks and Painting. It was less than four months ago that I published Lab Color and My Workflow du Jour, an article whose title suggests that I’m quite frequently changing how I process images. While I’m still using some of the du Jour techniques and the Silver Efex Pro shortcut as appropriate, I now find I’m more often using another workflow based on luminosity masks. I find them to be extremely powerful, and once mastered, there quite easy to use. To Be Continued. In Part 2 of this article I’ll explain the next level of luminosity adjustment techniques: luminosity masks and luminosity-mask painting, both of which I first learned from Tony Kuyper. If you can’t wait, see Tony’s articles on Luminosity Masks and Luminosity Painting.

In 1986 via an international competition Esther Shalev-Gerz and Jochen Gerz’s proposal was selected. Installed in a busy public square the monument is a 12 metre-high column with a perimeter of 1 metre square and clad in lead. Residents were invited with a text, translated in seven languages, to ratify a public statement about fascism by engraving their names with the metal pencil provided directly onto the surface of the monument. “We invite the citizens of Harburg, and visitors to the town, to add their names here to ours. In doing so we commit ourselves to remain vigilant. As more and more names cover this 12 metre-high lead column, it will gradually be lowered into the ground. One day it will have disappeared completely and the site of the Harburg monument against fascism will be empty. In the long run, it is only we ourselves who can stand up against injustice. » By engraving, gouging and hammering signed messages, opinions and commentaries, members of the public engaged with the dynamic of the project. When one accessible part was covered with inscriptions, it was immediately sunk into the ground. After seven years of progressive descents, all that remains visible are the top of the monument now level with the ground and the text pane. via: https://www.shalev-gerz.net/ Mnemonic Studio Follow us ︎

The southern Pearl River Delta boomtown, perched on the border with Hong Kong and known for its manufacturing and design industry, is a relative newcomer to art, with only a handful of commercial galleries running alongside several museums and a renowned architecture and urbanism biennale. “There is a huge up-and-coming collector base in Shenzhen,” says the fair’s cofounder, Kylie Ying. “We knew it was going to be a fair catering towards the Shenzhen locals rather than an international or nationwide fair. But still the number of people buying is amazing. Many have never bought any art before. It reminded of us the first edition of 021,” Ying says, referring to the Shanghai fair she established in 2013 with Bao Yifeng and David Chau. The trio also founded Beijing’s JingArt in 2018. Ying says sales were best at the extremes of the price range: “On one hand, works are anywhere from RMB5,000 to RMB500,000 sold really well, [while] on the other, some works that are over RMB5m exchanged hands.” However, the area “between half a million to RMB5m, the core of a mature art market, is something we want to see Shenzhen develop into.” Shenzhen, Ying says, “is the future for sure! It’s definitely less mature then Shanghai and Beijing, but it might be the biggest [market] one day.” Vigy Jin, a director of Shanghai’s MadeIn Gallery, says: “Shenzhen collectors and the public proved enthusiastic, polite, curious, interactive and inquiring. This time, we met many local collectors in Shenzhen as well as familiar faces, and also established contacts with Shenzhen institutions and galleries. Shenzhen’s art market is full of potential, and growing fast; its collectors are very accepting of new ideas and visions.” The 40 participating institutions and galleries, selling contemporary and Modern art as well as collectable design, drew heavily from the organisers’ home base of Shanghai, also including Don Gallery, Antenna Space and ShanghArt. Overseas participants were limited to those with spaces in mainland China, such as Lisson and Almine Rech, and those with representatives based here like Tina Keng and Whitestone. An overlap with China’s week-long National Day holiday facilitated attendance by established collectors from Shanghai as well. Still, Ying says, Shenzhen’s local artists, such as Zhou Li, Xue Feng and Liang Quan, “sold really well: We got tremendous support from the local art scene.” Liang Quan was shown at the fair by one of the few Shenzhen dealers exhibiting, Mangrove Gallery, which reports selling most of the offered work. “Shenzhen is a city of immigrants, so we view the concept of local or outside galleries as relative. But we are glad that DnA Shenzhen can bring their accumulated experience to Shenzhen at this time to make such a professional fair, which has never been done before,” says Deng Binbin, who founded Mangrove in 2020. “Shenzhen is an imaginative and growing art market, but it needs more patience and foundational cultivation, including the habit of buying artwork.” Many participating art galleries embraced the design crossover by featuring collectible furniture in their booths, and design galleries in the fair included Shanghai’s Objective Gallery, a co-organiser of Design Miami/Podium x Shanghai, a new fair for collectible design debuting from 4 to 14 November. Tyra Wang, the PR director for both Objective and the upcoming fair, says DnA Shenzhen was “beyond our expectations” with about RMB1m in sales, about half from old clients. Wang finds Shenzhen audiences more “open-minded and curious about art and design” than most cities, which drives the city’s potential—alongside its “hot real estate industry.” And the consumer power of its residents “is also relatively strong, so the overall market is active and vigorous,” Wang adds. https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2021/10/06/inaugural-shenzhen-dna-design-and-art-fair-gets-off-to-strong-start-thanks-to-keen-local-collector-base

Since the 80ies, Wittwulf Y Malik is fascinated by nature sound, earlier than the mainstream he discovered the beauty of the whales' songs. He demonstrated the narrow relationship between Nature Sounds and New Music in his exhibition "Bilder, Notationen und Neue Musik" in Hamburg: the pictures present the metamorphosis from photo to sound to the partitura.

I was considering quitting. I had begun drawing seriously in 2020 at the start of the pandemic. Before that, my art primarily consisted of Zentangles and tutorials to learn more advanced techniques with digital watercolor. I didn’t think of myself as an artist. I could push out the word illustrator but didn’t think I qualified as an artist even though my {#NOWORDS} line of greeting cards was doing well. I wanted to try my hand at art licensing but was completely stuck. Google had failed me, and I was ready to throw in the towel. It was August 2022. I was on a business trip to San Diego, where I was staying in an amazing Airbnb in Little Italy with a view of the water. I sat on the balcony, watching the sunrise over the harbor. I sipped my latte, enjoying the deep-roasted espresso with oat milk, and journaled, as I was wont to do every morning. I wrote, “I’m not sure this is for me after all. Maybe I should just let it go.” I closed my journal, picked up my phone, and scrolled through Instagram. An ad for the Artist’s Side Hustle caught my eye. My pulse picked up the same way it did the first time I saw my husband, and I knew this was something big. I clicked Learn More. A week later, I had a structure for growing my business in the margins since I was still employed full-time and enrolled in Leverage Your Art. What The Class Does Well The content The best thing about Leverage is how comprehensive it is. Some women collect shoes. I collect classes (and shoes, but that’s another story). I have taken MANY classes, but this was the first time I honestly felt like I was getting my money’s worth. Leverage is not cheap. My husband and I decided it was a worthy investment and tapped our savings account. Yeah, at $1,997, it’s savings-account-type money. But it is truly worth every single penny. Stacie Bloomfield teaches LYA and has a thriving, seven-figure business called Gingiber. The course is broken out into logical modules such as: 1. Your Style, Your Story 2. Building your Brand 3. 5 Ways to Share Your Work 4. Licensing Foundations & Workflows 5. Leverage Your Art on Products 6. Leverage Your Art with Multiple Revenue Streams When I took the class, there were downloadable workbooks and resources for every module. Stacie still offers digital resources but now offers a physical workbook and goodie box for the first 350 students who sign up for the course. Course content is dripped out and includes self-paced videos, recorded expert interviews, workbooks, industry resource lists, design briefs/assignments, templates, live calls with Stacie and her team, and a licensing rate calculator. More importantly, Stacie is wonderfully transparent and thorough. I remember thinking, “Finally! This is exactly what I needed!” Payment Plans As I said above, Leverage is not cheap. However, Stacie offers a payment plan if the full tuition is not feasible upfront. I opted to pay in full and then finance back into my savings account. Not everyone can do that, so the payment plan comes in handy. Non-Creative Experts Leverage brings in IP Lawyers and agents and provides a plethora of information on the business side of the house. I learned about the Profit First method, which I immediately implemented in my business finances. I also began registering my copyrights with the Library of Congress and could navigate every step of that process easily because of the module Stacie devoted to it in Leverage. Catch Up Weeks Stacie paces the course so that two (maybe three) weeks of the eight-week course are implementation weeks. No new content is released, and you have time to catch up on all the assignments and design work released so far. Expectation Setting Stacie makes it clear that students should expect to spend months implementing everything they are learning and not think eight weeks is all they need. Two years later, I’m still going back into the workbooks and modules and implementing all the things I’ve learned. Where the Class Falters Fabric Focused There was a heavy emphasis on the fabric industry, which was not on my radar at all when I took the class. I had a hard time staying engaged during those lessons, but I had committed to keeping pace with the course. So, those modules felt out of sync for me. That said, we teach what we know, and that is where Stacie does a lot of her licensing, so she’s teaching what she knows and doing it well. It’s just something to know going in. Study Buddies I signed up for the extra study buddies track. I wanted an accountability group. I knew the class would be overwhelming. My group was lovely, and we still meet once a month, but the guidance from Team Leverage was minimal. I was the assigned leader and did my best, but it felt like we never achieved any natural synergy while the class was going on. Team Leverage has updated how they run Study Buddies since I took it, so I’m hopeful new enrollees will have a better experience. Drip Pacing I understand why teachers do this. I like to get everything all at once. My free time ebbs and flows. I would have liked the option of keeping going in the weeks when I had more time so that in the weeks when I had less, I could keep pace and not rely so heavily on the catch-up weeks. If they gave you the option to choose whether you wanted drip pacing or all at once, that would be phenomenal. Verdict: Sign Up Today Overall, Leverage Your Art is the best of the breed. It’s comprehensive and full of information and resources to change your career. Since I took the class, I have: • Overhauled my brand and website • Created 20+ collections • Organized my work into a portfolio and created sell-sheets • Pitched my work to companies • Licensed twenty illustrations • Began teaching seamless pattern creation at a local art studio • Taught two workshops on using the creative arts for healing • Have spoken at multiple events about using the creative arts to heal trauma • Launched a monthly newsletter about course design optimization. I cannot recommend Leverage highly enough. Everything on that list is a direct result of taking Leverage Your Art. Get on the waiting list or sign up today.

Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong place for this post. I'm designing an art book for a client that is linked to an exhibition that centres around themes of change and resistance to polar norms and categorisations. One of the ways I'm looking to bring this concept into the typgraphy is through the use of variable fonts. I've used scripts in InDesign to vary the weight axes of a couple variabe fonts through the book but one of the group of people commissioning me is dyslexic and finds the variation from light to bold very difficult to read. I've experimented with varying the width but I find wide fonts aren't particularly suitable for body copy and quickly look ugly and distracting. So, this brings me to investigating fonts which have variable axes beyond weight and width. I found Varianz, which I love and fits perfectly with the resistance to categorisation concept as its axes change it from sans serif to serif, but unfortunately the group just doesn't like it. I'm still fighting Varianz's corner and asking them to put concept above personal preference, but I'm also going to look for other fonts that have interesting axes that aren't weight and width. I've scoured Nick Sherman's amazing www.v-fonts.com and there are some great options there, but all I've found apart from Varianz are out of budget. I should add that the client is a not-for-profit gallery/charity and their budget, once print costs are paid for, is very modest so this will come out of my fee, so I'd ideally like to keep it to less than £100. Does anyone know of something that might fit the bill? Are there any other resources that I should know about? • For playground sites, see also https://axis-praxis.org and https://play.typedetail.com/ To see more axes besides weight and width, I would suggest especially Amstelvar and Decovar as typefaces with many axes, Decovar having many unusual ones. Both open source. • Check out Recursive by Arrow Type • Thanks Thomas. Avenir Next could be a good shout, shame it doesn't seem to available via github any more though. Amstelvar seems alittle rough around the edges for body copy to my eye. I found Literata on the Typetogether site and that could work as it has the optical size axes which could be quite a subtle effect to play with. • Alex Visi said: Check out Recursive by Arrow Type Thanks Alex, I think this one is a probably not a great font for extended reading as body copy. It's a really interesting concept though, I can see me using it elsewhere • Nick Shinn Posts: 2,015 edited November 2020 The intent seems to be to politicize form, by means of suggesting that the spectrum of possibilities along a variable design axis corresponds to the spectrum of human cultural identities such as gender, favouring the non-binary. This conceptual design would be explained in a rationale to the client, or in a colophon, I would imagine, because it would not be apparent to the reader otherwise. I’m not sure how it could be implemented in body text, which is inherently binary in nature (majuscule and minuscule). You could throw in frequent small caps and italics, in the manner of the 18th century, but that’s awkward and still not much of a spectrum. Or switch typefaces frequently, 1960s style. Another alternative to norms would be pseudo-randomization (not-repetition of adjacent glyphs), in which each character may be represented by a variety of glyphs. There are a few fonts that do that. Those I’ve produced (e.g. Neology) usually have only two glyphs for each character (because that’s all you really need for the non-repetitive effect). I have done a type with four alternates, Duffy Script, but it’s not exactly what you’d call a text font. I’m surprised nobody has published a pseudo-random old style text font, mimicking the vagaries of letterpress. I employed another non-conformist approach in Oneleigh and Fontesque, in which the usual strictures of a serifed type (standardized x-height and stem width, cut-and-paste serifs, etc.) are avoided, for a wonky effect in which each character is markedly individual, and even added pseudo-random alternates in some of the Fontesque styles. With this diversity of glyph shape in mind, I would say that for body text, old style faces such as Bembo and (Monotype) Garamond are the most humanist of all. So in one respect, the old designs are the most socially progressive, not reductive modernism! • Amstelvar seems a little rough around the edges Are you using Amstelvar Roman (2020) or Amstelvar Alpha (2017)? You can easily tell them apart as the newer design has a ball terminal on the 'a' Sign In or Register to comment.

These gifts are always a printed matter in which the printed medium has been challenged. For the 2010 Christmas gift Och Studio produced a 50x70cm 3D poster. The subject is a still life made of paper snowflakes. The installation was photographed in stereo and was color separated to work with classic red-green glasses. The poster was printed with two christmassy Pantone colors and distributed as a kit with 3D glasses. The project was a limited edition of 100 copies.

But now an Italian historian claims to have discovered the identity of the woman in Leonardo da Vinci's 500-year-old painting. Prof Giuseppe Pallanti says she was Lisa Gherardini, who was born in Florence in 1479 and married merchant Francesco del Giocondo, a client of Da Vinci's father. Prof Pallanti uses a series of documents to back up his claim. They include a will drawn up before Del Giocondo's death and addressed to his wife, Lisa. The theory, first touted by 16th century writer Giorgio Vasari, is set out in the book Mona Lisa, Real Woman.
