  • METRO PICTURES Cotter, Holland
    METRO PICTURES Cotter, Holland. “Cindy Sherman’s Divas, Poised for a Final Close-Up,” NYTimes.com (May 26, 2016). Cindy Sherman‘s “Untitled” (2016). In the transgender, avatar-populated present, personal identity feels increasingly like a pliable condition. It’s one that Cindy Sherman has been playing with in her photographs for decades. While still in art school in the early 1970s, she was transforming herself, for the camera, into an epic cast of individual characters — sullen teen queens, nerdy guys, Hollywood vamps — through a use of makeup and costuming so virtuosic and expressive as to rival the brushwork of a master painter. Now, some 40 years on, in a show of new work at Metro Pictures, the virtuosity is greater than ever, or at least subtler, and Ms. Sherman is still sole actor, director and costumer in a continuing drama. But the cast of characters has changed, simplified. Guys are long gone; the teen queens have grown; the vamps remain, all veteran divas poised for a final close-up. With their elegiac tone, the new pictures, Ms. Sherman’s first in five years, seem specifically designed to prompt reflection on the histories she has taken these divas through over time. She introduced them, in 1977, in a now- renowned series of black-and-white photographs called “Untitled Film Stills,” as starlets on the rise. They played ingénues — young housewives, career girls — threatened, in noirish, B-movie solo scenes, by unnamed dangers lurking just out of camera range. 519 W 24TH ST NEW YORK, NY 10011 T 212 206 7100 F 212 337 0070 WWW.METROPICTURES.COM [email protected] When Ms.

  • Michael Grace / Tapeop Behind the Gear
    was getting pretty busy at night building custom mic Behind The Gear preamps for people, so I quit working for that company This Issue’s Prince of Preamps and started out on my own. That remained a garage operation for several years until my brother Eben and I Michael Grace joined forces and became partners. We decided we by Walt Szalva wanted to start a manufacturing company and build preamps on a larger scale so we could take advantage of the economies of scale, being able to buy better components and build things that were not absolutely stressed in terms of cost. That was almost twelve years ago when we came out with the first official Grace Design product, which was the 801 preamp. What kind of problems does a small manufacturer like yourself encounter in terms of designing and building Michael Grace started Grace feedback amplifier, or a trans-impedance amp, and something that a larger manufacturer Design in 1994, a boutique pro these types of amplifiers use a different kind of might not encounter? audio company located in Boulder, negative feedback in the current domain instead of the CO.

Being a boutique manufacturer, most of our of music. His need for a preamp to waveforms, resolve rich harmonic structures and track products are fairly expensive and not something that record Grateful Dead concerts transients without the various aberrations of slew rate someone just plunks down on a credit card on a whim drove him to design his first limiting and things that are associated with textbook for their studio.

  • Oral History Interview with Peter Busa, 1965 September 5
    Oral history interview with Peter Busa, 1965 September 5 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Interview DS: DOROTHY SECKLER PB: PETER BUSA DS: This is Dorothy Seckler interviewing Peter Busa in Provincetown on September 5th, 1965. Peter, I'd like to begin with some discussion of your early background, when and where you were born and the kind of family background it was and anything in your childhood that may have predisposed you to become an artist. PB: Well, my early background was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I come from a long family of artisans and artists. I think there's been an artist in my family as far back as we can trace. The family is of Sicilian origin. My father was an Italian craftsman who was specialist with religious murals, and he did commercial murals for churches. So my early stimulus was by accompanying my father on Saturdays, helping to wash his brushes and filling areas for him to that art and the craft aspects of art came to me rather naturally through my father's own interest. DS: He continued to do this work in Pittsburgh? PB: Yes, he was one of the outstanding commercial church decorators and muralist. As a matter of fact, he became rather well known at it. He had a large firm that employed about twenty-four people. Most of them were Italian immigrants that used to do very involved gold leaf work on bank buildings as well as churches.

Soit un objet sonore non identifié, un monstre hybride comme la chanson d’ici n’en engendre guère qu’une fois par décennie, 9 VENDREDI 24 JUIN - 20H une anomalie poétique digne de figurer aux côtés de La Mort d’Orion Artaud, Marcel Kanche,Arman Méliès, Françoiz Breut (Gérard Manset) ou de Ludwig-L’Imaginaire-Le Bateau Ivre (Léo Ferré). On entend déjà les commentaires des professionnels : « Cher monsieur, vous avez indéniablement du talent, mais des chansons comme les vôtres n’ont 11 SAMEDI 25 JUIN - 20H aucune chance de s’imposer sur le marché et sur les ondes. Revoyez votre copie, Mark Eitzel, Cat Power,The Pretty Things et Arthur Brown présentez-nous un travail un poil moins hermétique, quelque chose qui facilite 3 2 la tâche de nos chefs de produit, et nous réétudierons alors votre cas. » Revenons maintenant à la réalité, nettement plus heureuse : car chacun 13 DIMANCHE 26 JUIN - 15H sait que L’Imprudence a bel et bien existé, et qu’il a en outre connu un Le Cimetière des voitures de Fernando Arrabal fort beau destin.

  • At the Time of His Death in 1937, Maurice Ravel Was the Most Celebrated Contemporary Composer in France
    PURLOINED POETICS: THE GROTESQUE IN THE MUSIC OF MAURICE RAVEL By JESSIE FILLERUP Copyright 2009 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy. ____________________________ Chairperson Committee members: ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ Date defended: 6 April 2009 The Dissertation Committee for Jessie Fillerup certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PURLOINED POETICS: THE GROTESQUE IN THE MUSIC OF MAURICE RAVEL Committee: ____________________________ Chairperson ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ Date approved: 6 April 2009 ii To Michael and Rebecca Mahalo nui loa iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Early on, I wondered if my experience writing a dissertation would resemble the fictional Jack Burden’s, who entered a period of inert semi-consciousness known as “the Great Sleep.” Faced with the prospect of completing his dissertation, Jack slept fourteen or fifteen hours a night; when he finally woke, it was to contemplate this thought: “If I don’t get up I can’t go back to bed.”1 I was fortunate to have better reasons for getting up in the morning. Those reasons begin with my dissertation advisor, Roberta Freund Schwartz, a scholar of Renaissance music and the blues; she shepherded my project with such care and conviction that anyone not looking closely would think I was writing about Robert Johnson, not Ravel. Roberta encouraged me to strive for greater clarity by sloughing off the stylistic and scholarly accretions that cling to graduate students like barnacles. I am grateful for her patience and conscientious attention to my writing, as well as her sustained enthusiasm for this project; her dedication is inspiring.

Querido, Amsterdam 2011 Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_rev002201101_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. i.s.m. 7 [2011/2] Daan Stoffelsen Mijn kind 1 Het begint altijd met vragen. Bij mij tenminste. Ik weet niet of dat betekent dat ik een fase overgeslagen heb, of juist de rest van de wereld, maar vragen bepalen me, ze drijven me. Wat literatuur is, dat is er zo een, wat goed is, een andere, waarom ik, een derde. Misschien is twijfels een beter woord. Het mag bij vragen blijven, wat mij betreft. Dat de nieuwe verschijningsvorm van dit drie decennia oude tijdschrift zonder verantwoording of inleiding zou gaan, betreurde ik dan ook niet. Wij, de nieuwe redactie, waren niet van het manifest. Maar er waren wel antwoorden op de presentatie van het eerste nummer. Toen opende Gustaaf Peek de avond met een gedreven toespraak, die hij zo afsloot: Dit geloven we: wie goed leest, leeft beter. De wereld heeft schrijvers nodig die elke mogelijke gedachte kunnen vangen, en lezers die al die stemmen kunnen wegen. De Revisor erkent deze noodzaak. En het genot. Het pure plezier dat het juiste woord kan veroorzaken. Doe het maar eens, besta maar eens zonder taal. De Revisor zoekt naar schoonheid en moed en toewijding en kunst. We vragen lezers ons te vergezellen op deze tocht. Ja, dat willen wij. Maar wat willen we precies? Hoe dan? En in welke zin zijn we daarin anders dan al die andere tijdschriften die het beste De Revisor.
