    ISSN: 2471-6839 Notes from New York: Names, Networks, and Connectors in Art History Susan Greenberg Fisher Chaim Gross Foundation The Renee and Chaim Gross Foundation, located in Greenwich Village, is the historic home and studio of American sculptor Chaim Gross (1904–1991) (fig. 1). The foundation is housed in a four story townhouse, with the artist's dramatic sculpture studio on the ground floor (fig. 2). Gross built the studio in 1963 when he purchased the building. It was his final workspace after a long history of studios he had in the Village beginning in the 1930s.1 He and his wife Renee rented the second floor, and in the third floor living space, Gross installed a portion of what had grown to Fig. 1.

    Texts of Old Blog Posts

    !1 of !77 Ruined Books Blog A Book of Bibliolages—initial post, Feb. 27, 2013 A Book of Bibliolage makes a good place to begin this blog. The website goes back a few weeks now. The practice of bibliolaging goes back seven to ten years, depending on your definition. The word bibliolage goes back about three years, my invention, I think. And the blog starts now. A bibliolage is always an “altered book”—that’s the family—but, strange child in the corner, it abides by its own rules, sucks its very own thumb. (When I came up with the motto “Puerility Taken to a Whole New Level!” it made me smile, but it’s not terribly self-respectful.) A bibliolage is also always a collage, but it so severely does not hang on a wall, I had to build a website to hang it anywhere. A bibliolage sits on a shelf, here a creaky one, because the art takes a heavy book and makes it heavier. It takes a page and squares it, so the binding typically bulges. A library shelf keeps books aloft, vertical, slim, and Ssshhh-ed! My shelves sag, and the engorged volumes seem angry with being books. They protest at gravity, clamoring mirth. They revel in ruin and rue preservation. They do not resign to a system, least of all Dewey decimal. They do not speak for authority but squeal for special attention from the court. On the site you can find a list of titles, some eighty-six in the columns as of now, but the ranks are uneven, as some have struck off in wayward directions, but so far no new tendency has turned me from the !2 of !77 extraillustrative ‘lage.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE • TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 * UXl -L1VUVU1U'^x M * ",l" " MUSEUM OF MODERN ART OPENS EXHIBITION OF GALDER MOBILES, STABILES, CONSTELLATIONS AND JEWELRY An American sculptor, peculiarly the product of his age and country, will be presented in a full-length retrospective exhibition Wednesday, September 29, when nearly one hundred sculptures, con­ structions, drawings, and pieces of Jewelry by Alexander Calder go on view at the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street. The exhibi­ tion, directed by James Johnson Sweeney assisted by Margaret Miller of the Museum staff, will be shown in the first floor galleries and sculpture garden of the Museum and will remain on view through Sunday, November 28. The installation has been designed by Herbert Matter, who has also takren many of the photographs for the catalog. Mr. Sweeney has written the text for the sixty-eight-page catalog illustrated with fifty-eight halftones, which the Museum is publishing in conjunction with the exhibition. €n his introduction Mr. Sweeney writes in part as follows: "Exuberance, buoyancy, vigor are characteristics of a young art. Humor, when it is a vitalizing force not a surface distraction, adds a dimension to dignity. Dignity is the product of an artists whole-hearted abandon to his work. All these are features of Alexander Calder1s work,together with a sensibility to materials that induces new forms and an insatiable interest in fresh patterns of order. "On the side of tradition, two generations of sculptors—father and grandfather—gave him an intimate familiarity with the grammar and conventions of art.

    LINES from the League The Magazine of the Art Students League of New York Spring 2017 Message from President Ellen Taylor Dear League Community, Welcome to our Spring 2017 issue of Lines from the League. I’m happy and proud to share with you the art, news, listings, and insights in this issue. My fellow Board members and I have been meeting with instructors and many members, students, and staff. You are reaching out to us and we are listening. You’ve got some great ideas. Let’s keep that up! Timothy J. Clark, our Interim Executive Director, has been graciously helping the League through this transition period. He’s been working with the staff and the Board to secure the schedule for both the summer and fall sessions. You will see some exciting new classes and workshops. I encourage you to branch out and sample some of them. Take advantage of what the League has to offer. The diversity of instruction the League provides is unparalleled. We are truly a “one-of- a-kind” place. This issue of Lines features stories about all the things that make the League so fantastic: a discussion of teaching with Costa Vavagiakis, news of the success of our members, suggestions of what exhibitions to see around town this spring and summer, programming updates, news of our supporters, and of course art! In addition, an interview I did with Stephanie Cassidy and Jeanne Lunin is on page 8. It gives some insight into my personal history and relationship with the League. I hope it’s an interesting read.

    MARY HEEBNER & simplemente maria press fine art books 1995-2018 mary heebner cassandra a poem by stephen kessler mmxix Cassandra is a major work, one that unites a complex understanding of the way perspective and diverse materials fracture time and space, while the hand and memory of the artist unite them. Heebner’s visual dialogue with Kessler’s poem powerfully brings to life the legendary voice of Cassandra. To paraphrase the poet, a lovely myth rises in art to beggar disbelief.

  • 2018-2020 Impact Report

    2018-2020 Impact Report

    IMPACT REPORT I Message from the University Librarian Since we celebrated the 75th anniversary of UC Santa Barbara last year I have been reflecting on how the UCSB Library has always been a community hub, supporting our faculty and students to be successful in everything they do and engaging the Santa Barbara community in the intellectual and cultural life of UC Santa Barbara. The last few decades have shown how the internet and the web have transformed libraries. Having been a librarian throughout this transition, I can assure you that libraries are—and I believe will remain—adaptive and durable institutions in the digital age. Libraries have embraced new technologies, leveraging them to make many of our unique collections available to the world and to bring the world of scholarship to the desktops of our researchers and students. But the digital library revolution is also complex and brings with it unintended consequences. Since journals began to move online in the 1990s, scholarly journal publishing has grown to become a $10 billion industry, largely funded by research Kristin Antelman libraries, and one in which most content sits behind increasingly expensive paywalls. Over the last year, the University of California has found itself on the world stage showing unprecedented leadership in standing up to publishing giant, Elsevier, by terminating our contract with them until we can negotiate both a more sustainable price and open access publishing for all UC-authored articles. As a public institution whose research is funded largely by public money, it is core to the UC mission to make that research openly available to be used by the residents of California, and beyond.
