'DON'T ASK WHAT IT MEANS OR WHAT IT REFERS TO. DON'T ASK WHAT THE WORK IS. RATHER, SEE WHAT THE WORK DOES” Eva Hesse

Process art Term applied to art in which the process of its making is not hidden but remains a prominent aspect of the completed work so that a part or even the whole of its subject is the making of the work. Process became a widespread preoccupation of artists in the late 1960s and the 1970s, but like so much else can be tracked back to the Abstract Expressionist paintings of Jackson Pollock ....

It has roots in the drip paintings of Jackson Pollock , and in its employment of serendipity has a marked correspondence with Dada . Change and transience are marked themes in the process art movement. The Guggenheim Museum states that Robert Morris in 1968 had a groundbreaking exhibition and essay defining the movement and the Museum Website states: Process artists were involved in issues attendant t...

“The Anantara Experience” is a luxurious immersion in a place of rich cultural traditions and natural beauty. Guests are also invited to discover their own inner beauty, through the Resident Artist Program. Starting on January 15, 2011, the Resident Artist at The Anantara Resort in Phuket, Thailand, will be Ann Ladd Ferencz. For 2 weeks she not only will paint her own interpretations of Thailand but also will teach her “Art of Life” class to resort guests. Ann Ladd Ferencz New York artist Ann Ladd Ferencz believes that while fine artworks are best seen in galleries and museums, art is to be found everywhere in life. So, for example, she teaches a “Junk Art” class in which her students learn to look for and see beauty and significance even in castaway objects like worn-out tires. This in fact is the ancient Buddhist concept of tathagatagarbha (taught-ha-gata-garb-ha), referring to the natural beauty that is hidden within all life. The essential corollary of that concept of art being eve...

THE GUY WITH THE NOSE RING ON THE FACADE OF THE N-YHS The New-York Historical Society's 100-year-old landmark building has been covered with a giant portrait of Ki-On-Twog-Ky, commonly known as Cornplanter, one of the most important Seneca Indian leaders. The portrait was painted by Frederick Bartoli in 1796 to commemorate Cornplanter's meeting with the U.S. Congress ten years before and his role as mediator between native and non-native cultures. Cornplanter's name references the importance of corn and planting techniques to Senecan tribes and, eventually, to the survival of early European settlers. To Cornplanter and other Senecas, the idea of being a planter represented a desire for peace and community-building, rather than warfare. Cornplanter spent much of his life mediating between Iroquois tribes and various European and American powers. He was born some time in the early 1750s into the Gyantwachia tribe. His mother was a Seneca Indian and his father a Dutch America...

THIRTEEN’s Paris: The Luminous Years Giveaway Paris: The Luminous Years (airs 12/14 at 9pm on THIRTEEN) tells the story of the City of Light from an unprecedented point of view, not as the familiar, glamorous backdrop for the revolutions that exploded there, but as active protagonist, catalyst and midwife to modernity. The film spotlights now-famous key figures in the art world’s first international avant-garde, including Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Igor Stravinsky, Ernest Hemingway, Serge Diaghilev, Jean Cocteau, Gertrude Stein, Aaron Copland, Josephine Baker, Marcel Duchamp, Langston Hughes and many more.

TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE FASNY COMMUNITY Dear Parents, Colleagues, Students, Alumni, Parents and Grandparents of Alumni, Former Trustees, and Friends: We are thrilled and proud to announce that the 30-year old dream of giving our beloved School its own home has just taken a quantum leap toward reality. On December 7, 2010, FASNY signed a contract to purchase the Ridgeway Country Club in White Plains. This property contains 128 acres, ample space to house all four of our divisions and our administration, with plenty of room for playgrounds, fields, other athletic facilities, and considerable open space. It also holds a clubhouse, which can be retrofitted to house at least one division as well as most of our administrative offices. Everyone involved in this process shares the view that this is by far the best real estate opportunity the School has seen or is likely to see. The accepted purchase price is $8.5 million, with a bonus of $2.5 million to be paid to RCC if FASNY obtains the neces...

On view through January 10, 2011 FRANX XAVER MESSERSCHMIDT 1736-1783 FROM NEOCLASSICISM TO EXPRESSIONISM On view through January 10, 2011 The Neue Galerie, in partnership with the Louvre, presents the first solo show of works by the extraordinary eighteenth-century sculptor Franz Xaver Messerschmidt ever held in the United States. Messerschmidt broke with the prevailing Baroque style to produce "character heads"—grimacing, gaping, furiously emoting works of sculpture. Regarded by his contemporaries as mentally deranged, Messerschmidt devoted much of his later life to the creation of these pieces. MORE INFOS http://www.neuegalerie.org/exhibitions/messerschmidt

Irvin Morazan Coyote Procession 2011 Friday, January 7, 6pm Coyote Procession: Friday, January 7, 6pm Irvin Morazan, accompanied by a Mexican Norteño band (subway Mariachis), will lead a celebratory procession from the old DCKT Contemporary location (195 Bowery) to the new DCKT Contemporary location (237 Eldridge Street). Morazan will be wearing a headdress featuring a neon coyote, an animal that was used as a spiritual vehicle to transport the soul during ceremonies and rituals in Pre-Columbian times. Playing with the contemporary reference of El Coyote as a person paid to smuggle illegal immigrants, the procession highlights and celebrates the complications of passage and rebirth. An absurd ritual through space and time, the commemorative performance is an enactment of mobility, flux and continuity.

http://mariashell.com/about.htm Artist's Statement and Biography In the fall of 2000, I took my first quilt class at the Calico Whale my local quilt shop. During the stitching of that quilt, I became someone else. I had been a sewer since I was four years old. I had a hand-made Barbie clothing business at the age of ten, and I worked in the costume shop in college. But I never saw my love of sewing as being artful. To think I could use my technical skills to create powerful visual objects was a fierce realization. At first, I resisted this transformation. I had spent years earning an MFA with the hopes of being a writer not a quilter. But writing felt like such a chore, and quilting felt like such a joy, I did what we all hope to do: I followed my bliss. For the next six years, I immersed myself in the world of art quilting as best I could from the remote Alaskan town of Valdez. I studied and I stitched alone. I love piecing and manipulating fabric to create optical illusions. The ...
