She often sketched etchings Destruction of Birds (1997, dated 1998) and directly from dead and stuffed specimens (some deli White Mammals (1998), where the bodies seem to berately sought out in natural history museums, some dangle in the space of each sheet. She then moved on encountered in ordinary life), depicting them isolated on to more richly described representations. To achieve blank backgrounds that directed attention to their form the detail and realism of Fawn (2001), Smith built up and symbolic resonance rather than to their environ the image slowly on the metal etching plate, gradually ment.

    Barbara Mandigo Kelly Peace Poetry Contest Winners

    The Gathering by Ana Reisens Adult Category, First Place In the movie we sleep fearlessly on open planes because we cannot imagine any danger more tragic than those that have already passed. For weeks we have been arriving over the earth’s broken skin, over mountains and rivers, shaking the aching flagpoles from our shoulders. Now all the priests and imams and rabbis and shamans are gathered beside the others, teachers, brothers and kings and they’re sharing recipes and cooking sweet stories over fires. Suddenly we hear a voice calling from the sky or within – or is it a radio? – and it sings of quilts and white lilies as if wool and petals were engines. It’s a lullaby, a prayer we all understand, familiar like the scent of a lover’s skin. And as we listen we remember our grandmothers’ hands, the knitted strength of staying, how silence rises like warmth from a woven blanket. And slowly the lines begin to disappear from our skin and our memories spin until we’ve forgotten the I of our own histories and everyone is holy, everyone is laughing, weeping, singing, It’s over, come over, come in. And this is it, the story, an allegory, our movie – the ending and a beginning. The producer doesn’t want to take the risk. No one will watch it, he says, but we say, Just wait. All the while a familiar song plays on the radio and somewhere in a desert far away a soldier in a tank stops as if he’s forgotten the way.
  • Euell Porter

    Euell Porter

    Euell Porter Material prepared by Maurice Alfred Biographical Sketch of Euell Porter 1910-1998 Edwin Euell Porter was born October 10, 1910 near Franklin, Texas and died September 23, 1998, in Waco Texas. He was the last of six children born to George W. and Alma Parker Porter. His parents worked a small farm outside of Franklin in Robertson County. George W. came from Missouri and was a second generation Irish immigrant. Euell’s mother was of Cajun descent with hair as “black as coal.” His twin sisters, Addis Mae and Gladys Faye, and his brothers, Richard Bland, Samuel Lewis, and George Felton, took care of their little brother almost from his birth. When Porter was about six, his mother became bedridden with influenza and he remembered his mother saying “bring that baby here and let him stand by the bed and sing for me.” Though his mother was ill, the Porter’s sang and made music each night, with his sister Addis or his brother Sam playing the piano, and the rest of the family singing. His mother’s illness became progressively worse, and she died when he was eight. After her death, the family moved to a farm near Pettaway, Texas. Their new house and farm were much larger, with one room set aside for music. In the music room there was a pump organ and a five pedal upright piano. The family continued its tradition of singing, with his sister Addis Mae playing the organ and brother Samuel Lewis playing the piano. In the early 1920’s, Porter attended a singing school in Boone Prairie and it was there he learned to read shaped notes.

Press release Exploring the body and the senses: a major Swiss show on the work of Kiki Smith The work of the American artist Kiki Smith is the featured subject of a major temporary show this fall at the MCBA Musée cantonal des Beaux- Arts of Lausanne. Boasting a selection of nearly one hundred works, some of which are on display for the very first time in Europe, this survey covers almost four decades of artmaking, focusing on a theme that is central to her output yet has been little explored until now, i.e., sensory perception. Devoted to the work of Kiki Smith (born 1954), the show Hearing You with My Eyes is a rare opportunity for the general public to get to know the major themes that run through the American artist’s output, themes that spring from her observation of the human body.

    Teaching the Media with Mouse Woman: Adventures in Imaginative Education

    Teaching the Media with Mouse Woman: Adventures in Imaginative Education by Kymberley Stewart M.A., Simon Fraser University, 2004 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Curriculum Theory & Implementation Program Faculty of Education Kymberley Stewart 2014 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2014 Approval Name: Kymberley Stewart Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (Education) Title: Teaching the Media with Mouse Woman: Adventures in Imaginative Education Examining Committee: Chair: Allan MacKinnon Associate Professor Mark Fettes Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Kieran Egan Supervisor Professor Michael Ling Supervisor Senior Lecturer Lynn Fels Internal/External Examiner Associate Professor Faculty of Education David Jardine External Examiner Professor Faculty of Education University of Calgary Date Defended: August 20, 2014 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract Concerns have been expressed for decades over the impact of an increasingly media-saturated environment on young children. Media education, however, occupies a somewhat marginal place in compulsory schooling, and its theorists and practitioners have given relatively little attention to the question of how to teach the media to elementary school children. This question is explored through an auto-ethnography and métissage spanning more than twenty years of media use, media studies, and media education. Three shifts in emphasis are particularly central to the thesis. The first is a shift from a protectionist to a more open, albeit critical stance with respect to children‘s media use. The second is a shift from conceiving of media education in terms of a pre-packaged curriculum towards the co-construction of learning experiences with the students, guided by Egan‘s theory of imaginative education.

    Pop up 1 Montauk Final

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contact: Prentice Art Communications 212.228.4048 [email protected] Fabiola Beracasa and Art Production Fund In association with Gary Carrion-Murayari and Joyce Sitterly present Pop Up 1: Montauk August 1 – September 8, 2013 (Montauk, NY) – Fabiola Beracasa and Art Production Fund, in association with Gary Carrion-Murayari and Joyce Sitterly of the New Museum, are pleased to present Pop Up 1: Montauk, an outdoor pop-up exhibition featuring site- specific installations by artists Anya Kielar, Virginia Overton, and Olympia Scarry. On view from August 1 to September 8, 2013, the exhibition will be located on an undeveloped lot at 333 Old Montauk Highway. It will be open to the public Thursday-Sunday from 12-6 p.m. and by appointment on the remaining weekdays. A public opening reception for the artists will be held on August 1 from 6-8p.m. "By commissioning three emerging contemporary artists to engage with the site and local community, we aim to honor Montauk's artistic legacy and continue its fertile cultural dialogue," said gallerist Fabiola Beracasa. Anya Kielar will present a series of new fabric paintings made of gauze, tulle, and ripped canvas that will hang from clothing lines installed on the lot. Envisioned by the artist as a mise-en-scène, the transparent paintings feature stylized portraits of women and encourage viewer interaction. The outdoor site prompted Kielar to incorporate elements of nature in her production process, including a sun printing technique used to weather the fabric. Virginia Overton will produce a new sculptural piece conceived specifically for the Old Montauk Highway site.
