Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 A
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Hollow Man: Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Art History by Joanna Marie Fiduccia 2017 Ó Copyright by Joanna Marie Fiduccia 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Hollow Man: Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 by Joanna Marie Fiduccia Doctor of Philosophy in Art History University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor George Thomas Baker, Chair This dissertation presents the first extended analysis of Alberto Giacometti’s sculpture between 1935 and 1945. In 1935, Giacometti renounced his abstract Surrealist objects and began producing portrait busts and miniature figures, many no larger than an almond. Although they are conventionally dismissed as symptoms of a personal crisis, these works unfold a series of significant interventions into the conventions of figurative sculpture whose consequences persisted in Giacometti’s iconic postwar work. Those interventions — disrupting the harmonious relationship of surface to interior, the stable scale relations between the work and its viewer, and the unity and integrity of the sculptural body — developed from Giacometti’s Surrealist experiments in which the production of a form paradoxically entailed its aggressive unmaking. By thus bridging Giacometti’s pre- and postwar oeuvres, this decade-long interval merges two ii distinct accounts of twentieth-century sculpture, each of which claims its own version of Giacometti: a Surrealist artist probing sculpture’s ambivalent relationship to the everyday object, and an Existentialist sculptor invested in phenomenological experience. This project theorizes Giacometti’s artistic crisis as the collision of these two models, concentrated in his modest portrait busts and tiny figures. -

Betty Parsons Sky Heated Betty Parsons: Heated Sky Alexander Gray Associates Betty Parsons: Heated Sky February 26 – April 4, 2020 Alexander Gray Associates Betty Parsons in her Southold, Long Island, NY studio, Spring 1980 2 3 Betty Parsons in her Southold, Long Island, NY studio, 1971 5 Introduction By Rachel Vorsanger Collection and Research Manager Betty Parsons and William P. Rayner Foundation Betty Parsons’ boundless energy manifested itself not only in her various forms of artistic expression—paintings of all sizes, travel journals, and her eponymous gallery— but in her generosity of spirit. Nearly four decades after Parsons’ death, her family, friends, and former colleagues reinforce this character trait in conversations and interviews I have conducted, in order to better understand the spirit behind her vibrant and impassioned works. Betty, as I have been told was her preferred way to be addressed, was a woman of many actions despite her reticent nature. She took younger family members under her wing, introducing them to major players in New York’s mid-century art world and showing them the merits of a career in the arts. As a colleague and mentor, she encouraged the artistic practice of gallery assistants and interns. As a friend, she was a constant source of inspiration, often appearing as the subject of portraits and photographs. Perhaps her most deliberate act of generosity was the one that would extend beyond her lifetime. As part of her will, she established the Betty Parsons Foundation in order to support emerging artists from all backgrounds, and to support ocean life. After her nephew Billy Rayner’s death in 2018, the Foundation was further bolstered to advance her mission. -
Field Report Florence Meeting Bern/Winterthur
Gesundheit Field Report Florence Meeting Bern/Winterthur 18.-22. April 2017 Bern Fachhochschule in collaboration with ZHAW and FH Ostschweiz, Bern and Winterthur, Switzerland Students and Staff, Bachelor Midwifery and Nursing, various study years The conference of the 25th Florence Network Annual Meeting took place from Tuesday 18th April – Saturday 22th April 2017 in Switzerland. We spent four days in Bern at the University of Applied Sciences and one day in Winterthur, in cooperation with the Zurich University of Applied Sciences and the University of Applied Sciences St. Gallen. The conference theme was “Mental Health: Global Challenge – Local Actions”. During the week, the differences between the health care systems of the participating countries and especially those regarding mental health care were discussed. Keynote speakers talked about mental health and various workshops on different aspects of mental health were offered. The WHO defined 2017 Mental Health as “a state of well-being”. But what does that mean? Mental Health in Midwifery Due to the vulnerability of the perinatal period, a lot of women and men suffer from mental illnesses during this stage of life. That is why the midwifery workshops and keynote speeches of the FNAM were mainly about the topic of perinatal and above all postnatal depression and its treatment. According to Anke Berger’s presentation, 18% of Swiss pregnant women and 19% of new mothers suffer from a mental disorder. Although this is a high percentage, only 50% of these women are detected and can be treated. The treatment itself is a big challenge as psychopharmacological drugs may influence the foetus as well as the composition of breast milk. -
Displacement and Repetition
3 Everything in the painting contributes to a feeling of unending dis- placement and discomfort. The young woman dressed in black, upon whom DISPLACEMENT AND REPETITION our attention inevitably falls, is standing to one side in a room, a short dis- tance from the closed door, where the bulky slanted desk takes up most of John Yau the space. Her head dips slightly downward, as if she might be looking at the doorknob. Since we can see only her back, we cannot say for certain what she is doing, which is why she remains unfathomable within the array of lines and edges that grasp her. Look at how she is poised between the doorknob on the right and the doorframe’s edge on the left, everything holding her in What we seldom talk about in art is the desperation informing much of it, place without ever touching her. And yet, she will never reach the door or not because the artists are good at disguising it, but because we seem to not leave the room. An everlasting moment of impenetrable stillness envelops want to see what is in front of our eyes. Even in works that might initially the painting. She is both displaced and stuck in time, while chaos and pan- strike the viewer as beautifully ordered, one need only look a little longer to demonium wait outside the door. see how hard the artist has worked to present his or her anxiety as a moment Where will this young woman go? In Alberto Giacometti’s case, she is of sublime calm. -

Received: 6 July 2020; Accepted: 12 August 2020; Published: 18 August 2020 Abstract: As in other European countries, the Swiss child protection system has gone through substantial changes in the course of the 20th century up to today. Increasingly, the needs as well as the participation of children and parents affected by child protection interventions have become a central concern. In Switzerland, critical debates around care-related detention of children and adults until 1981 have led to the launch of the National Research Program ‘Welfare and Coercion—Past, Present and Future’ (NRP 76), with the aim of understanding past and current welfare practices. This paper is based on our research project, which is part of this national program. -
