    Five Sculptors Peter Agostini Christopher Cairns Bruce Gagnier Jonathan Silver George Spaventa March 31 - April 30, 2006 Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery Haverford College wishes to acknowledge the loan of sculpture from the following individuals: Diane Agostini Richard Bechtel Mark and Johanna Chehi Jock Ireland Stanley Kunitz Lindsey Lawrence Deborah Masters Paul Resika Harriett Vicente Anita Shapolsky Gallery Elizabeth Harris Gallery The Jonathan and Barbara Silver Foundation Lori Bookstein Fine Arts This show has been organized by Alexis, Christopher, and Nicholas Cairns with assistance by Vita Litvak and Rebecca Strattan. Photo Credits: Christopher Cairns - 8, 9, 12, 16, 20; Chris Carone - 10, 13; Vita Litvak - 2, 4, 5, 6, 14, 17, 18, 21 Five Sculptors: One Aesthetic The five sculptors whose works are presented in this exhibition, Peter Agostini (1913-1993), George Spaventa (1918-1978), Jonathan Silver (1937-1992), Bruce Gagnier (b. 1941), and Christopher Cairns (b.1942) all lived and worked in New York City during a seminal period in each artist’s development. Their intersecting circumstances and interconnected experiences created a culture of creative energy, collaboration, and competition. The five formed a guild of sorts, based on a shared aesthetic of working from the figure, informing and influencing one another’s work while forging individual creative paths and lines of inquiry. They are not “figurative” artists in the current parlance, but artists whose subject is the figure. Their shared aesthetic is an extension of late 19th century and early modern European art as represented by Cezanne, Picasso, Braque, Giacometti, and deKooning. The works in this show – whose influences range from dreams to Abstract Expressionism to the Medici Chapel, from African masks to Leonardo’s horses – reveal the artists’ dedication to their subject.

  • 44 Records of the Index of American Design
    Finding Aid for the Records of the Index of American Design, 1929-2018 (bulk 1936-1942) Summary Information Repository National Gallery of Art, Gallery Archives Sixth Street and Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20565 [email protected] Title Records of the Index of American Design Identifier 44 Creator United States. Works Progress Administration. Index of American Design. Date 1929-2018 (bulk 1936-1942) Extent 290 cubic feet (734 boxes); approximately 29,000 digital files Abstract This collection documents the activities of the Index of American Design, a Federal Art Project to preserve and document the development of American folk and decorative arts from the colonial period through 1900 while providing relief work to unemployed artists, researchers, and photographers during the Great Depression. Materials consist of correspondence, memoranda, reports, lists, data sheets, publications, photograph prints and negatives, color notes. Historical Note Created in 1935, the Index of American Design (Index) was a program in the Fine Arts Divisions of the Federal Art Project (FAP) under the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The Index project had three objectives: to employ and maintain the skills of artists who found themselves unemployed during the depression years; to preserve America’s artistic and cultural heritage by documenting the development of arts and crafts in different parts of the country; and to create a series of portfolios from the Index watercolor renderings that would serve as a permanent guide for artists, scholars, and the public. The initial idea for the Index project began with discussions between Romana Javitz, head of the New York Public Library’s Picture Collection, and artists who were conducting research in the collection for WPA projects.

  • EXPOSE YOURSELF to ART Towards a Critical Epistemology of Embarrassment
    EXPOSE YOURSELF TO ART Towards a Critical Epistemology of Embarrassment Gwyneth Siobhan Jones Goldsmiths University of London PhD Thesis 2013 1 I declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Gwyneth Siobhan Jones 2 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the negative affect of ‘spectatorial embarrassment’, a feeling of exposure and discomfort sometimes experienced when looking at art. Two particular characteristics of embarrassment figure in the methodology and the outcome of this enquiry; firstly that embarrassment is marginal, of little orthodox value, and secondly, it is a personal experience of aversive self-consciousness. The experiential nature of embarrassment has been adopted throughout as a methodology and the embarrassments analysed are, for the most part, my own and based on ‘true’ experience. Precedent for this is drawn from ‘anecdotal theory’, which uses event and occasion in the origination of a counter-theory that values minor narratives of personal experience in place of the generalising and abstract tendencies of theory-proper. The context is a series of encounters with artworks by Gilbert & George, Jemima Stehli, Franko B, Adrian Howells, and Sarah Lucas. They are connected by their contemporaneity, their ‘British-ness’, and that they allow the spectator no comfortable position to look from. This enquiry engages with theories of ‘the gaze’ (as both aesthetic disinterest and a dubious sign of cultural competence) and the challenge to aesthetic disinterest made by ‘transgressive art’ which may provoke a more engaged, even embodied response. Each encounter sparks consideration of differing causes and outcomes of embarrassment that resonate beyond art to broader sociocultural territories particularly in terms of gender and class.

  • Common Ground? Readings and Reflections on Public Space
    Common Ground? Readings and Reflections on Public Space “Orum and Neal offer a wonderful collection of readings about public space. Their cogent arguments synthesize literatures and raise key empirical questions for readers to ponder and to further study.” —Robert M. Adelman, Sociology, University of Buffalo, SUNY “This is by far the most comprehensive, focused, and perceptive work on public space to appear in many years, with selections that cover everything from basic concepts to critical theories. It is an essential work for anyone interested in the ongoing debate over the relative virtues of public and private realms in contemporary societies.” —Evan McKenzie, Political Science, University of Illinois at Chicago “This outstanding collection is an important work from many disciplines focusing on critical issues related to public space. It is a perfectly designed book for an advanced undergraduate or master’s level seminar related to urban sociology, urban geography, and urban planning.” —Kevin Romig, Geography, Texas State University Public spaces have long been the focus of urban social activity, but investigations of how public space works often adopt only one of several possible perspectives, which restricts the questions that can be asked and the answers that can be considered. In this volume, Anthony Orum and Zachary Neal explore how public space can be a facilitator of civil order, a site for power and resistance, and a stage for art, theatre, and performance. They bring together these frequently unconnected models for under- standing public space, collecting classic and contemporary readings that illustrate each, and synthesiz- ing them in a series of original essays.
