  • NY ACKER Awards Is Taken from an Archaic Dutch Word Meaning a Noticeable Movement in a Stream
    1 THE NYC ACKER AWARDS CREATOR & PRODUCER CLAYTON PATTERSON This is our 6th successful year of the ACKER Awards. The meaning of ACKER in the NY ACKER Awards is taken from an archaic Dutch word meaning a noticeable movement in a stream. The stream is the mainstream and the noticeable movement is the avant grade. By documenting my community, on an almost daily base, I have come to understand that gentrification is much more than the changing face of real estate and forced population migrations. The influence of gen- trification can be seen in where we live and work, how we shop, bank, communicate, travel, law enforcement, doctor visits, etc. We will look back and realize that the impact of gentrification on our society is as powerful a force as the industrial revolution was. I witness the demise and obliteration of just about all of the recogniz- able parts of my community, including so much of our history. I be- lieve if we do not save our own history, then who will. The NY ACKERS are one part of a much larger vision and ambition. A vision and ambition that is not about me but it is about community. Our community. Our history. The history of the Individuals, the Outsid- ers, the Outlaws, the Misfits, the Radicals, the Visionaries, the Dream- ers, the contributors, those who provided spaces and venues which allowed creativity to flourish, wrote about, talked about, inspired, mentored the creative spirit, and those who gave much, but have not been, for whatever reason, recognized by the mainstream.

  • Going Everywhere and Nowhere from Moscow to the Urals – How Curatorial Delusions of Global Grandeur Betray Russian Art
    GOING EVERYWHERE AND NOWHERE FROM MOSCOW TO THE URALS – HOW CURATORIAL DELUSIONS OF GLOBAL GRANDEUR BETRAY RUSSIAN ART BY SIMON HEWITT I : A MOSCOW MIRED IN MEMORIES A BANNER was dangling from the giant triumphal portico of VDNKh, beneath the two collective farmworkers brandishing their bale of straw. It advertised the 6th Moscow Biennale – the number 6 allotted spiralling arms to resemble a Catherine Wheel. But the banner was challenged by a bigger hoarding wheeled on to the piazza below, blowing the trumpet of a separate festival called Circle of Light . The Biennale’s main show was taking place just behind Lenin in VDNKh’s Central Pavilion (also known as Pavilion N°1), erected in 1954 and topped by a 350-foot spire modelled on the St Petersburg Admiralty. The Biennale was meant to open at noon. I tried to find the entrance but couldn’t. There were no signs. No information about where and when the Biennale could be visited. Yuri Albert’s immortal line breezed through my mind: The Biennale cannot and will not take place . The 6 th Moscow Biennale had been having well-publicized financial problems. Was it so bankrupt that it had ceased to exist, morphing instead into a Conceptualist joke? VDNKh, six miles north of Red Square, was the sixth venue for the Moscow Biennale’s main exhibition. It had previously been held in the former Lenin Museum near Red Square; the under-construction Federation Tower at Moscow City; the newly restored Garage (now Jewish) Museum during its brief Abramovich/Zhukova tenancy; the renovated ArtPlay cultural and commercial complex; and, in 2013, the Manezh.

  • By Tim Adams Docent Guild General Meeting, May 23, 2012 (Notes Taken by Carol Hallenbeck)
    Lecture on Fabergé – by Tim Adams Docent Guild General Meeting, May 23, 2012 (Notes taken by Carol Hallenbeck) When we think of Fabergé, we think of the Imperial Easter eggs – of the delightfully jeweled, enameled works and of gold work techniques. In a San “Diego exhibition there were 27 Easter eggs – They had eggs from every known collection. But Fabergé was so much more. He was a designer and a goldsmith. He owned a business. He had engineers, enamellers, gem setters, goldsmiths as employees – 2700 at one time. He was the visionary. He supervised everything Nothing left his workshop without his approval. He had shops in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Odessa, Kiev, London. They were Edwardian jewelry stores. The store in St. Petersburg had the shop on the first floor, workshops and design center on the second and third floor. He and his family lived on the top, or fourth, floor. He told the story of Maria Pavlovna and her Fabergé collection, part of which was purchased by the McFerrins and is on display in our exhibit. The Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna was a good customer of Fabergé. On December 30, 2009, Sotheby’s in London auctioned some of her important pieces. They came from a newly discovered cache of Fabergé objects that she owned. She was the wife of Grand Duke Vladimir, the brother of Tsar Alexander III. The McFerrins purchased some of the most impressive pieces. They represent the highest quality of craftsmanship from the House of Fabergé. Pavlovna’s story represents intrigue and danger during the darkest hour of Russian history.

  • A Rich Offering of Rare and Rediscovered Russian Art at Christie’S in November
    For Immediate Release 11 November 2011 Contact: Alexandra Kindermann +41 44 268 10 19 [email protected] Matthew Paton 20 7389 2695 [email protected] A RICH OFFERING OF RARE AND REDISCOVERED RUSSIAN ART AT CHRISTIE’S IN NOVEMBER London - On 28 November, Christie's will present an exceptional auction, offering the strongest selection of Russian paintings and works of art on the market this season. The sale will offer rediscovered treasures by many of the most celebrated artists in the field, including Natalia Goncharova, Vasily Vereshchagin, Boris Grigoriev, Filipp Maliavin and Alexander Volkov. This selection is led by Vasily Vereshchagin‟s undisputed masterpiece Crucifixion by the Romans (see separate release) offered on behalf of the Brooklyn Museum and by two pairs of exquisite vases produced by the Imperial Porcelain Factory under Emperor Nicholas I. The sale will also feature over forty works of art by Fabergé, many distinguished by their rare Imperial provenance. Highlighted by masterpieces of tremendous importance and scale, the sale brings together outstanding examples of Russian art, much of which is appearing on the market for the first time in decades. MASTERS OF THE 19th CENTURY In addition to Vasily Vereshchagin‟s epic canvas, Christie‟s is delighted to present a number of outstanding 19th century paintings, including the highly exciting discovery of Viktor Vasnetsov‟s (1848-1926) truly iconic A Bogatyr. Under the patronage of the Moscow merchants, Savva Mamontov and Pavel Tretyakov, Vasnetsov designed and built a new studio which allowed him to work on a monumental scale, creating works such as his most famous masterpiece, Bogatyrs (1876-1898, State Tretyakov Gallery).

    2nd International Workshop on Durability and Sustainability of Concrete Structures Final Invitation and Program 6-7 June 2018, Izmailovo Congress Center, Moscow CO-SPONSORED BY: Preface Modern construction is unthinkable without concrete, the world production and consumption of which is about 10 billion m3 per year. Given the steady growth of the world’s population by 2050, it is expected to double this volume, which will undoubtedly be significantly affected on energy consumption and increase global CO2 emissions. Concrete is perhaps the most universal building material since the beginning and development of civilization. It is sufficient to recall the Great Wall of China, the palaces and temples of Ancient India, the pyramids of Ancient Egypt, the unique buildings of Romans, made with the use of lime-pozzolanic binders. Universality of concrete is defined by simplicity and convenience of its production, rather low cost, structural integrity and homogeneity, durability and a long service life under various aggressive environments. However, the concrete image is sometimes not favorable. It is associated with greater labor intensity of construction works and dismantlement, massive structures, a large impact on the environment in connection with the consumption of not renewable natural resources. The same perception is greatly facilitated by the fact that, according to Gigaton Throwdown Initiative, «the cement industry is responsible for about 5-7% of total CO2 emissions, or 2.1 Gt per year». Indeed, when producing cement clinker about 0.9 t CO2/t clinker are produced. Taking into account the annual increase in the production and use of Portland-based cement (more than 4.1 million tons per year) that is the main binder used in the production of concrete, this fact poses a significant threat to humanity as a whole.
