  • Consideration of Proposed Donation of Art RE
    REPORT TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL NO: 08-333 Council Meeting: November 18, 2008 SUBJECT: Consideration of Proposed Donation of Art REPORT IN BRIEF The City of Sunnyvale has been offered a donation of art created by artist Flo Oy Wong. Ms. Wong is a resident of Sunnyvale who has been creating her art in her studio at the Raynor Activity Center since 1992. Staff recommends that Council approve acceptance of the proposed donation of artwork from Ms. Flo Oy Wong and direct staff to install the art within the Sunnyvale Senior Center. In accordance with Council Policy 6.4.2 – Art Loans and Gifts, the donation of the art has been considered by the Arts Commission and is being forwarded to the City Council to determine whether the artwork will be accepted by the City for inclusion in the City’s Permanent Art Collection. (Refer to Attachment A: Council Policy 6.4.2.) The Arts Commission reviewed this report on October 29, 2008, and recommended that Council approve acceptance of the proposed donation of artwork from Ms. Flo Oy Wong and direct staff to install the art within the Sunnyvale Senior Center. BACKGROUND City Council adopted a policy on Art Loans and Gifts in December 1988. The policy states that it is the City’s intention to develop a collection of art that is of the highest quality; that will encompass a broad-range of artistic styles and media; that will improve the quality of life in the community; and that it will be a source of pride to residents.

    Hou Beiren at 100 百岁北人百岁北人 Contents Director’s Preface 5 Celebrating Hou Beiren at 100 7 Mark Dean Johnson My One Hundred Years: An Artistic Journey 13 Hou Beiren Plates 19 Biography 86 3 Director’s Preface Two years ago, at the opening of Sublimity: Recent Works by Hou Beiren, I proposed a toast to Master Hou: “… it was not in the plan prior to this moment, but I hope to present another exhibition of your works two years from now to celebrate your 100th birthday.” Master Hou was a little surprised by my proposal but replied affirmatively right at the moment. Thus we are having this current exhibition – Hou Beiren at 100. In the long course of human history, 100 years is just a blink of the eye. Yet when it comes to a man, 100 years is certainly a magnificent journey, especially considering the vast era of tremendous socio-political changes in modern China that Hou’s life and times encompass. Growing up as a village boy in a small county of Northern China, Hou had lived in China, Japan, and Hong Kong before relocating to the US sixty years ago. Witnessing the ups and downs, whether first-hand in China, or as a sojourner overseas, Hou never gave up his passion for painting. In fact, through painting he had been searching for his “dream”, “ideal” and “soul”, as he wrote in his statement. The mountains and valleys, rivers and creeks, trees and flowers, clouds and mists, waterfalls and rains, are all his heartfelt expressions in the means of ink and colors, and the yearning for a homeland in his dream.

Available at: http://commons.emich.edu/ac/vol5/iss1/2 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Department of History and Philosophy at DigitalCommons@EMU. It has been accepted for inclusion in Acta Cogitata: An Undergraduate Journal in Philosophy by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@EMU. For more information, please contact [email protected]. On the Liberation of All Women: Socialist Feminism and Materialist Ecofeminism Gina Gaebl, St. Mary’s College of Maryland Abstract Feminists of the Western world claim to be striving for the liberation of all women, yet face a number of challenges in the pursuit of truly acting upon this objective. One of these challenges is the way in which western structures, such as capitalism, thrive off of the exploitation of women in developing countries. Other related challenges include the unintentional belittling of the cultures and feminist movements of developing countries through cultural imperialism and culture-blaming. In this paper, I argue that the only version of feminism that truly works for the liberation of all women is socialist feminism. Furthermore, this must be a version of socialist feminism that allows for feminists to approach the dismantling of capitalism in whatever way is most feasible and effective for them to do as such.
