Algún día, se tes paciencia, pode- rás ler o relato d-este periplo2. Resumo: As notas publicadas recentemente como diarios de viaxe de Valen- tín Paz-Andrade (Lérez, Pontevedra, 1898-Vigo, 1987) permanecían inéditas, desde hai sesenta anos, nas gabetas da súa marabillosa biblioteca da súa casa Pousa Nova do Mar en Samil (Vigo). O seu autor, poeta, xornalista, economista, empresario e tamén político ga- leguista, percorreu o Novo Continente, desde Canadá ata Chile, na década dos cincuenta do século pasado. Viaxou como Delegado para América Lati- na da Organización das Nacións Unidas para a Alimentación e a Agricultura (FAO), pois era un recoñecido especialista en economía pesqueira. O resultado daquela experiencia recolleuno o autor nuns textos que na súa inmensa maioría permaneceron inéditos e que se caracterizan por unha prosa riquísima que combina o lirismo fondo do poeta cunha análise profunda e certeira dos lugares, xentes e acontecementos, que ía atopando ao seu paso. Os lugares dos que os textos gardan testemuño foron: Nova York, México: Guanajuato, Jalisco, Pátzcuaro; Colombia: Val do Cauca, Illas Gorgonas, Cali, Tumaco, Buenaventura, Cartaxena de Indias; Brasil: costa do Estado de Per- nambuco e finalmente chegada a Santiago de Chile. Estas notas, ás veces manuscritas e outras pasadas a máquina, foron descuber- tas grazas ao esforzo e apoio do Consello da Cultura Galega para a organiza- ción e dixitalización do arquivo persoal do autor, e tamén á grata disposición da familia de Valentín Paz-Andrade, co fin de que, en 2012, o fondo persoal do autor estivera a disposición dos investigadores durante a celebración do Día das Letras Galegas.

  • Endless House: Intersections of Art and Architecture June 27, 2015–March 6, 2016 the Robert Menschel Architecture and Design Gallery, Third Floor
    Endless House: Intersections of Art and Architecture June 27, 2015–March 6, 2016 The Robert Menschel Architecture and Design Gallery, third floor Endless House considers the single-family home and archetypes of dwelling as a theme for the creative endeavors of architects and artists. Through drawings, photographs, video, installations, and architectural models drawn from MoMA’s collection, the exhibition highlights how artists have used the house as a means to explore universal topics, and how architects have tackled the design of residences to expand their discipline in new ways. The exhibition also marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Viennese-born artist and architect Frederick Kiesler (1890–1965). Taking its name from an unrealized project by Kiesler, Endless House celebrates his legacy and the cross-pollination of art and architecture that made Kiesler’s 15-year project a reference point for generations to come. Work by architects and artists spanning more than seven decades are exhibited alongside materials from Kiesler’s Endless House design and images of its presentation in MoMA’s 1960 Visionary Architecture exhibition. Intriguing house designs—ranging from historical projects by Mies van der Rohe, Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman, and Rem Koolhaas, to new acquisitions from Smiljan Radic and Asymptote Architecture—are juxtaposed with visions from artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Bruce Nauman, Mario Merz, and Rachel Whiteread. Together these works demonstrate how the dwelling occupies a central place in a cultural exchange across generations and disciplines. Organized by Pedro Gadanho, Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art Architecture and Design Collection Exhibitions are made possible by Hyundai Card and Hyundai Capital America.

    P A U L A C O O P E R G A L L E R Y FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CLAES OLDENBURG & COOSJE VAN BRUGGEN THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE 534 W 21st Street November 7 – December 19, 2015 Opening reception: November 12, 6 – 8 pm NEW YORK—Things Around the House, an exhibition of works by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, will be on view at Paula Cooper Gallery from November 7 through December 12. The exhibition includes nearly 100 works from the house and studio where Oldenburg has lived since 1971 and which he shared with his wife and partner Coosje van Bruggen from 1976 until her passing in 2009. By offering an intimate look at works that stayed on with the artists, the exhibition presents a unique view into a creative practice whose end Oldenburg has described as “developing a language of both exterior and interior life, in one expression.” Embracing what he calls “the poetry of everywhere,” Claes Oldenburg reimagines commonplace objects in distorted scale, materiality and hue. His exaggerated forms breathe vitality and tactile lyricism into ubiquitous or overlooked articles. The works on view in Things Around the House render fantastic or unfamiliar subjects that are usually prosaic and mundane. The exhibition also illuminates the artist’s cumulative approach to art making. His engagement with objects through sketches, writings, models and drawings is a constant process over decade- long periods of coexistence. The artist asserts: “Process is what keeps a thing alive, one thing leads to another. One has to do more to it – intensify color, play with material and scale, subject the form to gravity, make it collide with another object, turn it upside down or bury it halfway into the ground - so that it opens up multiple associations.” Claes Oldenburg was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1929.

  • “Shall We Compete?”
    5th International Conference on Competitions 2014 Delft “Shall We Compete?” Pedro Guilherme 35 5th International Conference on Competitions 2014 Delft “Shall we compete?” Author Pedro Miguel Hernandez Salvador Guilherme1 CHAIA (Centre for Art History and Artistic Research), Universidade de Évora, Portugal http://uevora.academia.edu/PedroGuilherme (+351) 962556435 [email protected] Abstract Following previous research on competitions from Portuguese architects abroad we propose to show a risomatic string of politic, economic and sociologic events that show why competitions are so much appealing. We will follow Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura as the former opens the first doors to competitions and the latter follows the master with renewed strength and research vigour. The European convergence provides the opportunity to develop and confirm other architects whose competences and aesthetics are internationally known and recognized. Competitions become an opportunity to other work, different scales and strategies. By 2000, the downfall of the golden initial European years makes competitions not only an opportunity but the only opportunity for young architects. From the early tentative, explorative years of Siza’s firs competitions to the current massive participation of Portuguese architects in foreign competitions there is a long, cumulative effort of competence and visibility that gives international competitions a symbolic, unquestioned value. Keywords International Architectural Competitions, Portugal, Souto de Moura, Siza Vieira, research, decision making Introduction Architects have for long been competing among themselves in competitions. They have done so because they believed competitions are worth it, despite all its negative aspects. There are immense resources allocated in competitions: human labour, time, competences, stamina, expertizes, costs, energy and materials.

  • From Munster to La Coruña Across the Celtic Sea: Emigration, Assimilation, and Acculturation in the Kingdom of Galicia (1601-40)
    Obradoiro de Historia Moderna, N.º 19, 9-38, 2010, ISSN: 1133-0481 FROM MUNSTER TO LA CORUÑA ACROSS THE CELTIC SEA: EMIGRATION, ASSIMILATION, AND AccULTURATION IN THE KINGDOM OF GALICIA (1601-40) Ciaran O’Scea University College Dublin RESUMEN . Entre 1602 y 1608 cerca de 10.000 individuos de todos los estratos de la sociedad gaélica irlandesa predominante en el suroeste de Irlanda emigraron al noroeste de España como consecuenciade la fallida intervención militar española en Kinsale en 1601-02, lo que condujo a la consolidación de la comunidad irlandesa en La Coruña (Galicia). Esto ha permitido un análisis de la asimilación e integración de la comunidad en las estructuras civiles, eclesiásticas y reales de Galicia y de la monarquía hispánica. Los resultados muestran como la inicial introspección de la comunidad irlandesa durante la primera década dio paso a una rápida asimilación e integración en la siguiente. Al mismo tiempo, las alteradas circunstancias socio-económicas y políticas condujeron a cambios de gran alcance en las estructuras internas y los valores socio-culturales de la comunidad. Palabras clave: emigración irlandesa, España, Irlanda, Galicia, La Coruña, asimilación, integración, Kinsale. ABSTR A CT . Between 1602 and 1608 c. 10.000 individuals from all strata of predominantly Gaelic Irish society in the south west of Ireland emigrated to the north west of Spain in the aftermath of the failed Spanish military intervention at Kinsale in 1601-02, leading to the consolidation of the fledling Irish community in La Coruña in Galicia. This has permitted an analysis of the community´s assimilation and integration to the civil, ecclesiastical and royal structures of Galicia and the Spanish monarchy.

  • The Kingdom of Galicia and the Monarchy of Castile-León in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries*
    chapter 11 The Kingdom of Galicia and the Monarchy of Castile-León in the Twelfth and Thirteenth Centuries* Francisco Javier Pérez Rodríguez Like many political territories in Europe, contemporary Galicia is the heir of one that took shape in the central Middle Ages, specifically in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The kingdom of Galicia which emerged after 1100 bore the name of the late Roman province of Gallaecia, but occupied a smaller region. The nucleus of the ancient province and its capital Bracara Augusta (modern Braga) lay beyond the borders of the newly configured kingdom of the twelfth century. Moreover, the medieval kingdom of Galicia would remain part of the kingdom of León. After both were permanently joined with Castile in 1230, Galicia became just one more of the numerous kingdoms that made up what is customarily known as the Crown of Castile. Within this ensemble, the kingdom of Galicia retained a distinctive charac- ter, based partly on the Galician language which differentiated it from the rest of the Crown of Castile and linked it more closely with neighboring Portugal. Galician society, however, manifested other distinguishing features as well, and, from the thirteenth century onward, a separate administrative and fiscal structure was established for the region. Historians have particularly high- lighted the political and economic power and social position of the church in Galicia, and made this the explanation for the relative poverty of the lay aris- tocracy and the diminishing interest of the Castilian kings in the region after 1230. According to this narrative, the monarchy lost direct political authority over much of Galicia, because of the royal concession of cotos—territories pro- tected by immunities from royal intervention—to cathedrals and monasteries during the twelfth century.
