  • Placing Vilhjalmur Stefansson This Article First Appeared in the Winter 2013 Issue by Mike Jacobs of North Dakota Horizons Magazine
    100 years after the beginning of his historic Canadian Arctic Expedition Placing Vilhjalmur Stefansson This article first appeared in the Winter 2013 issue By Mike Jacobs of North Dakota Horizons magazine. It is reprinted with permission. www.ndhorizons.com. ilhjalmur Stefansson is a hard man to place. V He was born in Canada to immigrant Icelanders. The year was 1879. Stefansson came to the United States as an infant in arms. He was raised in an Icelandic community, Mountain, North Dakota. He attended the University of North Dakota, first as a preparatory student and then as an enrolled freshman. His hijinks remain legendary on campus. He didn’t graduate. Instead, Stefansson enrolled at the University of Iowa, then at Harvard. Stefansson gained great fame as an explorer of the Canadian Arctic. He was the last person to find new land on Planet Earth. This was Meighan Island at the far north edge of the Arctic Archipelago. In all, Stefansson made three trips to the Arctic, spend- ing a total of about 10 years. Perhaps for a change of climate, he undertook a survey of Central Australia, one of the hottest and driest places on Earth. When he gave up exploration, he settled in New York’s Greenwich Village, where he was a habitué of Romany Marie’s, a famous meeting place for the city’s Bohemian population and Stefansson in a center of intellectual ferment, much of it involving leftist politics. He also owned a country his Arctic parka in this undated place in Vermont. He prepared a manual on living and working in the Arctic for the U.S.

  • Brancusi and Gurdjieff
    Brancusi and Gurdjieff Basarab Nicolescu and Paul Beekman Taylor In his remarkable study ‘Brancusi et l’idée de sculpture’, Pontus Hulten wrote: “… it is notable that he met and spoke with men like Georges Ivanovich Gurdjieff,”1 but Hulten offers no source for the fact. Other Brancusi scholars repeat the assertion, also without referring to a source. It seems evident to us that the source for this assertion must be Peter Neagoe’s roman à clef about Brancusi’s life.2 Peter (Petru) Neagoe (1881–1960),3 an American writer of Romanian origin, was a close friend of Brancusi. In 1900 they were colleagues at the National School of Fine Arts in Bucharest. In 1903 Neagoe immigrated to the United States and took up residence in New York City where he married Anna Frankel, of Lithuanian origin, who died in 1985 at the age of 101. Neagoe became an American citizen in 1913, and returned to Paris in 1926 where he was acquainted with James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein and Peggy Guggenheim, and where he rejoined his friend Brancusi. It was through Neagoe that Brancusi met Peggy Guggenheim. Neagoe left Paris in 1939, but returned after the war in 1946 and 1949. In 1957, the Neagoes, who had acquired a studio in the Villa Seurat, were at the bedside of the dying Brancusi. It is evident that Neagoe had Basarab Nicolescu is honorary theoretical physicist at CNRS (University Paris 6), Professor at the University Babes-Bolyai, Cluj -Napoca (Romania) and Honorary Member of the Romanian Academy.

  • Oral History Interview with Isamu Noguchi, 1973 Nov. 7-Dec. 26
    Oral history interview with Isamu Noguchi, 1973 Nov. 7-Dec. 26 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Isamu Noguchi on November 7, December 10, 18 and 26, 1973. The interview was conducted at Isamu Noguchi's studio in Long Island City, New York by Paul Cummings for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview [SIDE 1] PAUL CUMMINGS: November 7, 1973- Paul Cummings talking to Isamu Noguchi in his studio in Long Island City, New York. To kind of start at the beginning, you were born in Los Angeles but really grew up in Japan and started your traveling very young and kept at it. I’m curious about what that was like on a kind of day-to-day basis, what you did as a child in Japan. You lived in two kinds of worlds. At least that’s the observation from reading your autobiography and the catalogues and things. You grew up with – what? Japanese or English? ISAMU NOGUCHI: First of all, my mother was American. And going to Japan with an American mother and being half-Japanese puts on in a very anomalous position. On the one hand, she is of Japan, she wanted to be in Japan. But the fact of the matter is that the Japanese do not accept foreigners as another person equal to themselves because Japanese are Japanese and everybody else is foreign, you understand.

  • PRESS RELEASE Josiah Mcelheny for IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    PRESS RELEASE Josiah McElheny FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “Modernity 1929-1965” May 6-June 3, 2006 We are proud to present Josiah McElheny’s first solo exhibition at Andrea Rosen Gallery, and to welcome an artist with such an established reputation and record of prestigious museum shows to the gallery. For this exhibition, Modernity 1929–1965, McElheny presents three interrelated projects about the history of twentieth-century modernism. The title references the period of high modernism but also, more specifically, the dates of two historical anecdotes that serve as conceptual touchstones for his current sculptures. These works embody visions of modernity—the endless everywhere of Isamu Noguchi and Buckminster Fuller's utopian concepts; the insularity of repeated form suggested by mechanized production—and are culminations of McElheny's longstanding investigation of the modernist imagination. This inquiry takes an extraordinary turn in his newest work, an explosive hybrid of science and design and the exhibition's centerpiece. An End to Modernity, McElheny's largest and most ambitious sculpture, finds its origins in a meeting in New York in1965—the year the Big Bang Theory was first introduced—when the architect for the Metropolitan Opera commissioned a Viennese design firm to create a chandelier with a "galactic appearance." With a spectacular use of chrome and glass, McElheny has reimagined this emblem of twentieth-century design as a sculpture depicting modernism's explosive demise. Commissioned by the Wexner Center for the Arts, McElheny collaborated with Ohio State University Cosmology professor David Weinberg to render a sculpture that, while appearing to be a 1960s manufactured object is also a scientifically accurate representation of the birth and history of the universe.

  • Buckminster Fuller
    Buckminster Fuller Richard Buckminster Fuller (/ˈfʊlər/; July 12, 1895 – July 1, 1983)[1] was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor, and futurist. He Buckminster Fuller styled his name as R. Buckminster Fuller in his writings, publishing more than 30 books and coining or popularizing such terms as "Spaceship Earth", "Dymaxion" (e.g., Dymaxion house, Dymaxion car, Dymaxion map), "ephemeralization", "synergetics", and "tensegrity". Fuller developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome; carbon molecules known as fullerenes were later named by scientists for their structural and mathematical resemblance to geodesic spheres. He also served as the second World President of Mensa International from 1974 to 1983.[2][3] Contents Life and work Education Fuller in 1972 Wartime experience Depression and epiphany Born Richard Buckminster Recovery Fuller Geodesic domes July 12, 1895 Dymaxion Chronofile World stage Milton, Massachusetts, Honors U.S. Last filmed appearance Died July 1, 1983 (aged 87) Death Los Angeles, Philosophy and worldview Major design projects California, U.S. The geodesic dome Occupation Designer · author · Transportation Housing inventor Dymaxion map and World Game Spouse(s) Anne Hewlett (m. 1917) Appearance and style Children Allegra Fuller Snyder Quirks Language and neologisms Buildings Geodesic dome Concepts and buildings (1940s) Influence and legacy Projects Dymaxion house Patents (1928) Bibliography See also Philosophy career References Further reading Education Harvard University External links (expelled) Influenced Life and work Constance Abernathy Ruth Asawa Fuller was born on July 12, 1895, in Milton, Massachusetts, the son of Richard J.
