  • The Lightning Field Walter De Maria Catron County, NM, USA
    The Lightning Field Walter De Maria Catron County, NM, USA On a high desert plain in western New Mexico, Walter De Maria (b.1935) had 400 stainless-steel poles installed as lightning rods. Each of the polished metal poles is spaced about 67 m (220 ft) apart, and together the 16 rows of 25 poles form a grid measuring 1.6 × 1 km (1 × 0.62 miles). The poles are all 5 cm (2 in ) in diameter but they vary in height from 4.5 to 7.9 m (14.8 to 25.9 ft) and are installed into the earth at varying depths so that their tips form a level plane regardless of the fluctuations in height of the uneven desert ground below. However, the art of this work is not to be found in the form of the grid, but in its interaction with the forces of nature. The Dia Art Foundation, who originally commissioned the work, continues to maintain the site and provide transport and overnight accommodation for visitors with advance reservations. During the visiting season, which runs from May until the end of October, up to six people at a time can stay for one night in a wooden cabin at the site. One can never predict when lightning will strike, but when a storm does occur it is an awesome phenomenon to behold. Striking the terrain not far from the viewers’ cabin, the lightning bolts provide a sublime, fearsome and breathtaking experience. When a lightning storm is not raging, the site still provides visitors with a beautiful and contemplative experience.

  • Gane La Guerra Antes De Que Empiece Por Qué Colombia Debe Integrar Su Poder Aéreo En La Fuerza Aérea De Colombia
    AIR & SPACE POWER JOURNAL en Español -3er Trimestre 2018 Gane la guerra antes de que empiece Por qué Colombia debe integrar su poder aéreo en la fuerza Aérea de Colombia PEDRO ARNULFO SÁNCHEZ SUÁREZ, CORONEL DE LA FUERZA AÉREA DE COLOMBIA ómo debe organizar Colombia su poder aéreo? ¿Con el poderío aéreo distribuido en diferentes servicios (modelo de servicio múltiple) o poderío aéreo asignado solamente a la Fuerza Aérea (modelo de servicio individual)? En este artículo se ¿ responde a la pregunta analizando los atributos de efectividad militar. Este análi- sis usaC las teorías de efectividad militar, estructura de mando, y doctrina conjunta y aérea, para comparar y hacer contraste de la integración, capacidad de reacción y destreza de combate de esos mo- delos en la lucha. La Guerra del Golfo y la Guerra de los Seis Días se usan como base de este análisis. La primera es representativa del modelo de servicio múltiple (EE.UU.), y la segunda es característica del modelo de servicio individual (Israel). Por supuesto, hay grandes diferencias entre estos países, pero este estudio se ocupa solamente sobre qué modelo mostraría mejor los atributos de la efectividad militar en combate. Este análisis concluye y recomienda que Colombia debe organizar su poderío aéreo aplicando el modelo de un servicio individual porque este mo- delo produce más potencia de combate en el campo de batalla y se adapta mejor a la Estrategia de Defensa y Seguridad de Colombia. Introducción A veces, la lucha empieza antes de que se inicie la guerra. En este caso, el terreno no es ni la jungla ni el desierto de Colombia; es la burocracia política del Ministerio de Defensa de Colom- bia (COLMINDEF).

Box 1135 Marfa, Texas 79843 www.chinati.org a look at john chamberlain’s lacquer paintings Adrian Kohn color and lacquer The lush yet matter-of-fact colors of junkyard sheet metal intrigued several of the first art critics to write about John Cham- berlain’s sculptures.1 Donald Judd, for one, coined the odd adverb “Rooseveltianly” in characterizing how Chamberlain juxtaposed the hues of automobile scrap in works such as Essex of 1960 (see fig. 1, p.212) and Huzzy of 1961 (fig. 1). Chamberlain’s palette, he remarked, “involves the hard, sweet, pastel enamels, frequently roses and ceruleans, of Detroit’s imitation elegance for the poor — coupled, Rooseveltianly, with reds and blues.”2 Some asso- ciations of Chamberlain’s colors emerge in this sentence.

  • Dan Flavin Was Born in 1933 in New York City, Where He Later Studied Art History at the New School for Social Research and Columbia University
    DAN FLAVIN Dan Flavin was born in 1933 in New York City, where he later studied art history at the New School for Social Research and Columbia University. His first solo show was at the Judson Gallery, New York, in 1961. Flavin made his first work with electric light that same year, and he began using commercial fluorescent tubes in 1963. Fluorescent light was commercially available and its defined systems of standard sized tubes and colors defied the very tenets of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, from which the artist sought to break free. In opposition to the gestural and hand-crafted, these impersonal prefabricated industrial objects offered, what Donald Judd described as “…a means new to art.”1 Seizing the anonymity of the fluorescent tube, Flavin employed it as a simple and direct means to implement a whole new artistic language of his own. He worked within this self-imposed reductivist framework for the rest of his career, endlessly experimenting with serial and systematic compositions to wed formal relationships of luminous light, color, and sculptural space. Vito Schnabel Gallery presented Dan Flavin, to Lucie Rie and Hans Coper, master potters in St. Moritz from December 19, 2017 — February 4, 2018. The exhibition featured nine light pieces from the series dedicated to Rie, nine works from his series dedicated to Coper, and a selection of ceramics by Rie and Coper from Flavin’s personal collection. Major solo exhibitions of Flavin’s work have been presented at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; Staatliche Kunsthalle, Baden- Baden; St. Louis Art Museum, Missouri; Morgan Library and Museum, New York; and Dan Flavin: A Retrospective, an international touring exhibition that included the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Hayward Gallery, London; the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich.

  • Size, Scale and the Imaginary in the Work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim
    Larger than life: size, scale and the imaginary in the work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim © Michael Albert Hedger A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Art History and Art Education UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES | Art & Design August 2014 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hedger First name: Michael Other name/s: Albert Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: Ph.D. School: Art History and Education Faculty: Art & Design Title: Larger than life: size, scale and the imaginary in the work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Conventionally understood to be gigantic interventions in remote sites such as the deserts of Utah and Nevada, and packed with characteristics of "romance", "adventure" and "masculinity", Land Art (as this thesis shows) is a far more nuanced phenomenon. Through an examination of the work of three seminal artists: Michael Heizer (b. 1944), Dennis Oppenheim (1938-2011) and Walter De Maria (1935-2013), the thesis argues for an expanded reading of Land Art; one that recognizes the significance of size and scale but which takes a new view of these essential elements. This is achieved first by the introduction of the "imaginary" into the discourse on Land Art through two major literary texts, Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726) and Shelley's sonnet Ozymandias (1818)- works that, in addition to size and scale, negotiate presence and absence, the whimsical and fantastic, longevity and death, in ways that strongly resonate with Heizer, De Maria and especially Oppenheim.

  • Lucha Libre Mexicana. Máscaras a Través Del Tiempo
    LUCHA LIBRE MEXICANA mascaras a traves del tiempo Por Julio Crespo Retoque fotografico Del hijo del Santo en uno de sus viajes a Japon, con el traje de batalla de los guerreros samurais. LUCHA LIBRE MEXICANA. MASCARAS A TRAVES DEL TIEMPO Por Julio Crespo La principal seña de identidad de la lucha libre en México es la máscara. Estos diseños que portan los luchadores son parte esencial en la creación de sus personajes, les confieren un sentido único, una intencionalidad, rodeando al luchador de un halo de misterio. Las máscaras son el bien más preciado que puede tener un luchador, y no hay mayor deshonra que perderla en una lucha de apuestas. LA HERENCIA DE LA MASCARA Con el paso de los años, las generaciones luchísticas mexicanas están defendiendo sus máscaras e incluso heredándolas, pasando éstas de padres a hijos (conocidas son las dinastías de los Villanos, los hermanos Dinamita, Santo el Enmascarado de Plata, Blue Demon, Tinieblas, Dos Caras). Las máscaras representan a un personaje y son defendidas por las nuevas generaciones incluso cuando los originales perdieron su incógnita, sus hijos o herederos retoman el personaje de nuevo enmascarado (como en los casos de Rey Misterio JR, Fishman JR, Dr Wagner JR, Rayo de Jalisco JR). También hay personajes que mantuvieron la incógnita durante toda su carrera y que sus juniors han perdido la máscara en lucha de apuestas, el ejemplo más reciente y más popular es Lizmark JR, quien perdió la máscara heredada de su padre en la función del 74º Aniversario de la lucha en México, organiza por el CMLL en 2007.

  • Celebrating the 10Th Anniversary of 516 ARTS OCT 2016 – JAN 2017
    Celebrating the 10th anniversary of 516 ARTS OCT 2016 – JAN 2017 TOM JOYCE New Mexico Penumbra XXVI 2016 charred drawing on wood fiber Detail Installation view TOM JOYCE New Mexico Penumbra XXVI 2016 charred drawing on wood fiber Created specifically for DECADE, this Penumbra is the largest of an ongoing series of process driven transfer drawings made by pressing glowing hot, raw forged, machine parts onto recycled wood-fiber boards. The seared shadows in these 30 panels record industrially produced forms made in one of the largest forging facilities in the U.S. where Joyce generates his worK several times a year. These impressions offer a rare glimpse of an astonishing array of technologically diverse parts literally “hot off the press” in the factory. Respectful of a confidentiality agreement he signed 11 years ago when initiating an agreement to gain access to the plant to begin forging sculptures there in 2005, Joyce has chosen to represent graphic abstractions of these projects branded upon the drawing boards, leaving their marK just before being set in a cooling pit to anneal. All of the components, many strategically classified in nature, are now deployed in the world performing an indispensable tasK in space, on land and in the sea. Tom Joyce’s worK was presented by 516 ARTS in our inaugural exhibition GREEN (2006).
