  • Proceedings MFHS 2014 Conference
    2nd International Conference on MicroFluidic Handling Systems 8.-10. October 2014 University of Freiburg Germany Proceedings 2nd International Conference on MicroFluidic Handling Systems 1 8 { 10 October 2014, University of Freiburg, Germany Welcome to the 2nd International Conference on Microfluidic Handling Systems Dear colleagues, We are pleased to welcome you to the 2nd International Conference on Microfluidic Handling Systems (MFHS 2014) in Freiburg, as a follow-up to the successful first conference in Enschede in 2012. Worldwide, accurate handling – i.e. analysis, dosage, measurement and control – of small and extremely small mass flow rates of both gases and liquids is becoming more and more important, driven by numerous applications. Examples of economically and societally relevant applications are e.g. improvement of medical infusion pump systems, increasing the efficiency of processes that extract oil from oil wells (enhanced oil recovery), systems that measure the energy content (calorific value or Wobbe Index) of natural gas and bio- gas, monitoring of ground water pollution and the production of pharmaceuticals by means of flow chemistry. Whether in analytical instrumentation, flow chemistry, energy, semiconductor industry, food & beverage or life sciences – microfluidic handling systems are facing two major trends: (1) a need for accurate measure- ment and calibration facilities and (2) a need for complete functional systems rather than for the individual components. In the future, the impact of this field of research may become bigger and potentially large target markets may arise, especially when spin-off companies start manufacturing and selling their products, systems or pilot plants. The MFHS 2014 focuses mainly on the technology, components, devices and systems that enable the application in microfluidic systems.

Syllabus Spring 2017 ARH 4470/ARH 5482 Contemporary Art A Discipline-Specific Global Learning Course1 Tuesday and Thursday 2-3:15pm Green Library, Room 165 Instructor: Dr. Alpesh Kantilal Patel Assistant Professor, Contemporary Art and Theory Director, MFA in Visual Arts Affiliate Faculty, Center for Women’s and Gender Studies Affiliate Faculty, African and African diaspora Program Contact information for instructor: Department of Art + Art History MM Campus, VH 235 Preferred mode of contact: [email protected] Office hours: Thursday: 12:45-1:45pm Course description: This course examines major artists, artworks, and movements after World War II; as well as broader visual culture—everything from music videos and print advertisements to propaganda and photojournalism—especially as the difference between ‘art’ and non-art increasingly becomes blurred and the objectivity of aesthetics is called into question. Movements studied include Abstract Expressionism, Pop, and Minimalism in the 1950s and 1960s; Post-Minimalism/Process Art, and Land art in the late 1960s and 1970s; Pastiche/Appropriation and rise of interest in “identity” in the 1980s; and the emergence of Post-Identity, Relational Art, Internet/New Media art, and Post- Internet art in the 1990s/post-2000 period. This course will explore the expansion of the art world beyond “Euro- America.” In particular, we will consider the shift from an emphasis on the international to transnational. We will focus not only on artistic production in the US, but also that in Europe, South and East Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

Rich Associate Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Head of the Department of Art History Michael Bernhard Associate Professor of Political Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT From Activism to Kinetism: Modernist Spaces in Hungarian Art, 1918-1930. Budapest – Vienna – Berlin investigates modernist art created in Central Europe of that period, as it responded to the shock effects of modernity. In this endeavor it takes artists directly or indirectly associated with the MA (“Today,” 1916-1925) Hungarian artistic and literary circle and periodical as paradigmatic of this response. From the loose association of artists and literary men, connected more by their ideas than by a distinct style, I single out works by Lajos Kassák – writer, poet, artist, editor, and the main mover and guiding star of MA , – the painter Sándor Bortnyik, the polymath László Moholy- Nagy, and the designer Marcel Breuer. This exclusive selection is based on a particular agenda. First, it considers how the failure of a revolutionary reorganization of society during the Hungarian Soviet Republic (April 23 – August 1, 1919) at the end of World War I prompted the Hungarian Activists to reassess their lofty political ideals in exile and make compromises if they wanted to remain in the vanguard of modernity.

  • Impersonality and the Cultural Work of Modernist Aesthetics Heather Arvidson a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of
    Impersonality and the Cultural Work of Modernist Aesthetics Heather Arvidson A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Jessica Burstein, Chair Carolyn Allen Gillian Harkins Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English ©Copyright 2014 Heather Arvidson University of Washington Abstract Impersonality and the Cultural Work of Modernist Aesthetics Heather Arvidson Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Jessica Burstein English Department This dissertation reanimates the multiple cultural and aesthetic debates that converged on the word impersonality in the first decades of the twentieth century, arguing that the term far exceeds the domain of high modernist aesthetics to which literary studies has consigned it. Although British and American writers of the 1920s and 1930s produced a substantial body of commentary on the unprecedented consolidation of impersonal structures of authority, social organization, and technological mediation of the period, the legacy of impersonality as an emergent cultural concept has been confined to the aesthetic innovations of a narrow set of writers. “Impersonality and the Cultural Work of Modernist Aesthetics” offers a corrective to this narrative, beginning with the claim that as human individuality seemed to become increasingly abstracted from urban life, the words impersonal and impersonality acquired significant discursive force, appearing in a range of publication types with marked regularity and emphasis but disputed valence and multiple meanings. In this context impersonality came to denote modernism’s characteristically dispassionate tone and fragmented or abstract forms, yet it also participated in a broader field of contemporaneous debate about the status of personhood, individualism, personality, and personal life.

This is why Statesmen, and more generally the leaders, always have the objective and concern to leave for posterity or to strengthen big cultural institutions. As proof of this we can quote, as examples, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the British Museum, the Monastery of Escorial or the many American Presidential Libraries which honor the memory of the various Presidents of the United States. Since the Holy Roman Empire and, notably, in Europe during the Renaissance times cultural sponsorship has been increasingly active for the sake of art or for the sense of splendor. Nowadays, if there is a country where sponsors have a constant and decisive presence in the world of the art, this is certainly the United States. Names given to museum rooms in memory of devoted sponsors, as well as labels next to the paintings noting the donor’s name, are a very visible aspect of cultural sponsorship, especially in America.

  • Modernism 1 Modernism
    Modernism 1 Modernism Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement, its set of cultural tendencies and array of associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Modernism was a revolt against the conservative values of realism.[2] [3] [4] Arguably the most paradigmatic motive of modernism is the rejection of tradition and its reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms.[5] [6] [7] Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God.[8] [9] In general, the term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world. The poet Ezra Pound's 1934 collection: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. injunction to "Make it new!" was paradigmatic of the movement's Hofmann was renowned not only as an artist but approach towards the obsolete. Another paradigmatic exhortation was also as a teacher of art, and a modernist theorist articulated by philosopher and composer Theodor Adorno, who, in the both in his native Germany and later in the U.S. During the 1930s in New York and California he 1940s, challenged conventional surface coherence and appearance of introduced modernism and modernist theories to [10] harmony typical of the rationality of Enlightenment thinking.

  • The Third in a Three Part Series on Art Not Only How to Explain Modern Art (But How to Have Your Students Create Their Own Abstract Project)
    The Third in a Three Part Series on Art Not Only How to Explain Modern Art (But How to Have Your Students Create Their Own Abstract Project) Michael Hoctor Keywords: Paul Gauguin Mark Rothko Pablo Picasso Jackson Pollock Synchromy Peggy Guggenheim Armory Show Collage Abstract expressionism Color Field Painting Action Painting MODERN ABSTRACT ART Part Three This article will conclude with a class lesson to help students appreciate and better understand art without narrative. The class will produce a 20th-Century Abstract Art Project, with an optional step into 21st Century Digital Art. REALISM ABSTRACTION DIVIDE This article skips a small rock across a large body of well-documented art history, including 650,000 books covering fine art that are currently available, as well as approximately 55,000 on critical insights, and almost 15,000 books examining the methods of individual artists and how they approached their work. You, of course can read a lot of them in your spare time! But today, our goal is to is gain a better understanding of why, at the very beginning of the 20th century, there was a major departure in how some groups of "avant-garde" painters approached their canvas, abandoning realistic art. The rock's trajectory attempts to show how the camera's extraordinary technology provoked some phenomenal artists to re- examine how they painted, inventing new methods of applying colors in a far less photographic manner that was far more subjective, departing from: what we see to focus on what way we see. 2 These innovators produced art that in time became incredibly valued.
