  • Lara Pan Curates Fordproject's Inaugural Exhibition When the Fairy
    Lara Pan curates fordPROJECT’s inaugural exhibition When the Fairy Tale Never Ends (New York, NY) Altpoint Capital Partners, parent company of Ford Models, is pleased to announce that the inaugural exhibition at its new contemporary art space fordPROJECT will be When the Fairy Tale Never Ends curated by Lara Pan. The exhibition will open to the public on January 20, 2011 and will include works by both established and emerging artists including Michaël Aerts, Eleanor Antin, Valentina Battler, carballo-farman, Henry Darger, Wim Delvoye, Braco Dimitrijevic, Eagleton- Enright, Kent Henricksen, Natacha Ivanova, Robert Lazzarini, Panni Malekzadeh, Vincent Olinet, Gretchen Ryan and Kenny Scharf. Pan will take over fordPROJECT’s dual-level penthouse located at 57 W 57 (a historic Warren + Wetmore building) to create a rich environment that explores the concept of fairytale and myth as they merge with the realities of contemporary life. Panni Malekzadeh, Peep Show, oil on linen, 62 x 89 inches. The title of Pan’s show is derived from overarching themes of beauty, intrinsic value, the transgressive quality of fairytales in contemporary culture and the often unrealistic adolescent expectations for an idyllic life. In exploring these themes Pan highlights that certain archetypes have morphed over time, some in subtle ways and others quite drastically. An example is Eleanor Antin’s The Little Match Girl Ballet, a 26-minute performance piece captured on video in 1975 in which the artist, dressed in a tutu, entertains a captive gallery audience with a monologue explaining her strategy for becoming a famous ballerina. Antin’s performance is the physical manifestation of the sociological pressures that women face in modern western society.

  • The Perception of the Body in Diderot's Art Criticism and in Modern Aesthetics and Visual Art1
    The percepTion of The body in dideroT's arT criTicism and in modern aesTheTics and visual arT1 by else marie bukdahl ''The landscape thinks itself in me and i am its consciousness'' paul cézanne (in merleau-ponty 1948a: 17) The french philosopher, encyclopédiste and art critic ('avant la lettre'), denis di- derot, was in many ways a precursor to contemporary theoreticians and theories of art, especially as embodied in the intertwining of spectator and art work in the modern tradition, inspired by the phenomenologist maurice merleau-ponty. in this tradition, mind and body are not separated in a cartesian cleavage; rather, the mind (including our perception of the world) is intimately related to the world that we perceive. When interacting with a work of art, we do not merely look at it, we 'enter' it, 'walk' through it, using all our senses. referring to pictorial examples and quotations from painters, sculptors, and art critics, the article epitomizes these features, by which the interactive viewer is experientially drawn into the space of the art forms as spectacularly instantiated in works by artists like barnett newman or richard serra. descartes' philosophy, which had a great impact on Western art and culture, is predicated on a separation of mind from body, much like disembodied eyes with a single perspective. an important early philosopher central to dismantling the car- tesian model and introducing the idea of embodied perception as a basis for this was maurice merleau-ponty (1908-1961). When he wrote Eye and Mind (1964)2 he instigated an important turning point in the history of the aesthetics of art.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • Momath's Intersection of Math And
    Bridges 2020 Conference Proceedings Composite: MoMath’s Intersection of Math and Art Cindy Lawrence1 and Tim Nissen2 1Cindy Lawrence, National Museum of Mathematics, NYC; [email protected] 2Tim Nissen, National Museum of Mathematics, NYC; [email protected] Abstract That there are meaningful connections between art and mathematics is intuitively clear to mathematicians and mathematically-inspired visual artists, but the connection is often less clear to others, especially to those whose negative associations with mathematics during school-age years trigger emotions counter to feelings inspired by beautiful artworks. At the National Museum of Mathematics, the Composite gallery has been a laboratory of temporary art exhibitions. The introduction of tactile interactivity as a bridge between art and geometric forms in Solid Math, and the presentation of origami art through its often-overlooked mathematical makeup in Math Unfolded, highlighted these interconnections for visitors of all ages. New in Composite Since 2014, Composite, the gallery at the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) [2], has housed a series of temporary exhibitions of the work of mathematically-inclined artists including Antal Kelle ArtFormer, Miguel Berrocal, Matthew Brand, and Trevor and Ryan Oakes. In 2019, two exhibitions explored the connections between mathematics and art through multi-artist curated shows and physical interactives. Characteristic of the Museum proper, the collection of works and interactives encourages visitors to engage deeply with the content, integrating an array of models and artworks.. Solid Math, which ran from April through July of 2019, explored the geometry of regular polyhedra and showcased art based on these forms. Platonic, Archimedean, and Catalan polyhedra provided the formal constraints as well as the rhythmic underpinnings for the artists’ pieces presented in the show.

  • 2014 Annual Report
    Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art Annual Report 2014 REPOR T from the President and Director & CEO Renewing the Wadsworth Atheneum The past twelve months have been one of the most transformative chapters in the long and illustrious history of the Wadsworth Atheneum. From completing the second phase of our $33 million roof-to-basement renovation, bringing our campus of five historic buildings into the 21st century, to maintaining the museum’s standards for excellence in scholarship, acquisitions, and groundbreaking exhibitions, Daniel Wadsworth’s “spirit of genius” has continued to inspire creative collaboration and forward momentum since the museum first opened to the public 170 years ago on July 31, 1844. Increased commitments from generous funders energized the massive renewal project. The year began on a high note with the thrilling news of a $5 million award from the State of Connecticut, bringing the State’s total investment in our building renovation to $25 million and ensuring that we could confidently enter the final phase of work on the Wadsworth and Morgan Memorial Buildings. We extend our utmost gratitude to Governor Malloy and his administration for their trust in our mission, and we are fully committed to our crucial role as a thriving cultural destination with a measurable economic impact for the State of Connecticut. Another transformative moment came with the unexpected announcement of the largest single bequest in the museum’s history — $9.6 million from the estate of former museum member Charles H. Schwartz. This significant gift, designated for the acquisition of European artworks from the 18th century or earlier, was immediately put to good use by our curatorial team’s newest member, Susan Morse Hilles Curator of European Art Oliver Tostmann.
