All of this had the most unlikely beginning. Nearly 40 years ago, Diana was living in Terang in the Western District of Vic- toria, the mother of three sons. The local community hall, a building with some charm but in serious need of restoration, had been threatened with demolition and replacement by the managers and the Shire council. Diana was enraged at this attitude towards the community’s assets and was stirred into action, winning a stay of execution, and heading up a fund- raising committee to facilitate restoration of the fine old build- ing. Having loved jazz as a young woman, and being married at the time to a jazz trombonist, she dreamed up the idea of organizing a jazz concert (in a town most of whose residents had never heard jazz before), which was a great success. From this beginning developed a concert series of three con- certs a year, all jazz, over a period of 10 years. This, com- bined with determined lobbying of Ministry of Arts, resulted in the re-birth of the hall into a full-fledged multi-purpose per- forming arts and community centre which is still going strong. “Diana was enraged at this attitude towards the community’s assets and was stirred into action” Along the way, Diana introduced the young Tom Baker and his Swing Street Orchestra to Victorian audiences, established Diana Allen and Graeme Bell music therapy trials in local hospitals and care institutions, ran Club at 177 Beaconsfield Parade. There it stayed until cost jazz concerts in local schools, and set up a music scholarship pressures again forced a reappraisal.

  • Above the Immigration Wall, Walking New York
    Above the Immigration Hall, Walking New York Describing the theme of her narrative relief panels mounted on a 300-foot wide space above the immigration booths, sculptor Deborah Masters emphasizes the familiar, as well as the diverse in New York. “I look at New York through a different lens, to show the many aspects that make the city so fantastic,” she said. When passengers reach the third site-specific installation, “Walking New York,” they gaze up at a startling series of 28 reliefs – each measuring 8 feet high by 10 feet wide across a space as wide as the length of a football field. The reliefs are cast in a fiberglass modified gypsum, with a depth of relief of up to six inches and a weight of some 300 pounds each. The panels are vividly painted to show scenes of people riding the subway, working on Wall Street, crossing important bridges like the Brooklyn and Manhattan and enjoying city diversions, such as parks and outdoor restaurants. The large number of murals allowed the artist to reveal the complex layers of the city – the energy generated by a parade, the fatigue of factory workers, the joy of a wedding and the colors of its many ethnic markets. “These are scenes I believe returning New Yorkers will recognize and immediately and visitors will anticipate eagerly,” said Masters. Masters attended Bryn Mawr College, where she studied with Chris Cairns and Peter Agostini, and the New York Studio School, where she studied with George Spaventa, Clement Meadmore, and Nick Carone. Following art school, she spent three years in Italy studying and working on her sculpture.

Premessa (2008) Alla fine degli anni '90, stanco dei bootleg, Robert Fripp decise di commercializzare ufficialmente alcuni live dei King Crimson su cd, muovendo dal presupposto che, se fino a quel momento i fan avevano acquistato materiale del gruppo dal vivo di scarsa qualità, facendo guadagnare esclusivamente biechi 2 / 10 King Crimson Collectors' Club (1969-1974) Scritto da Gianluca Livi Mercoledì 30 Marzo 2016 19:23 imprenditori pirata, poteva egli stesso vendere le medesime esibizioni, ufficializzandone l'uscita sul mercato discografico e, congiuntamente, perseguendo anche un (legittimo) fine di lucro. Poiché anche parte delle registrazioni in suo possesso erano qualitativamente scadenti, conscio dell'impossibilità di immetterle nel mercato senza suscitare polemiche, decise di distribuirle solo agli iscritti di un club, il cosiddetto “Collector's Club”. Coloro che vi avessero aderito, previo versamento di una cifra iniziale abbastanza consistente, avrebbero ricevuto i titoli pubblicati di volta in volta, vedendosi scalato il valore di ogni singolo disco dalla quota d'iscrizione. L'iniziativa andò avanti con ottimi risultati fino al 2002, quando - abbandonato definitivamente il metodo dell'iscrizione al Club - i cd furono inseriti nel catalogo della DGM, unitamente ad album ufficiali dei Crimson e di altri artisti della scuderia.

  • Abstract Sculptures
    Clement Meadmore (Australian-American, b. 1929-d. 2005) Always, 1992 Aluminum and paint Collection Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, 1994.05 A native of Australia who moved to New York in 1963, Clement Meadmore gained an international reputation for his large-scale abstract sculptures of black-painted metal that combine the pure geometric forms of Minimalism with the twisting, turning, and thrusting forces of Abstract Expressionism. “In my work the forms are geometric,” wrote Meadmore in 1989; “my goal is to make geometry yield an expressive result.” First realized as a 31-inch-high bronze, Always in its large outdoor version was originally meant to stand 14 feet tall. However, after visiting the JCCC site Meadmore decided the sculpture needed to be bigger and he enlarged it to 20 feet at no additional cost to the college. Always is based on the simple module of the cube, extended to form a sleek, continuous volume that rises, bends, and changes direction in a dynamic and unpredictable fashion. With its large masses lifted high and its radiating members penetrating space, Always from certain angles suggests a matchbook whose contents splay this way and that, while from other directions it evokes a pivoting, gesturing human figure. Though resolutely abstract in its geometric structure, Always thus manifests Meadmore’s desire to “transcend geometry.” Clement Meadmore studied industrial design at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia from 1948 to 1949.

  • Meadmore Acquisition Final
    The Snite Museum of Art acquires major work by sculptor Clement Meadmore (American, born Australia 1929-2005) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 8, 2020 Notre Dame, IN. There is little doubt that Modern and Contemporary sculpture play a significant role in the collection, and by extension, the persona of the Snite Museum of Art. The collections of both Ivan Meštrović and George Rickey have played definitive roles. Against this backdrop, the Museum is pleased to announce the gift of a major sculpture by Clement Meadmore – one of the most compelling and eagerly sought public sculptors of the second half of the 20th century. Born in Melbourne, Australia, and educated at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Meadmore began making welded sculptures in the 1950s. He moved to New York City in 1963 to more closely experience the vanguard of Contemporary art. Deeply moved by both Minimalism and its forerunning antithesis, Abstract Expressionism, he forged a career as one of the most distinguished abstract sculptors of his generation. Meadmore is most widely celebrated for his bold statements based on a vocabulary of geometry with a strong emphasis on crisp linear contours and broad planes. Whether working in aluminum, steel, or bronze, he most frequently finished his sculptures with a black patina. For all of the aforementioned, he can be seen in the ambiance of Minimalism. However, his introduction of movement and frequent use of curved forms celebrate his affection for the visual energy of Abstract Expressionism. Upbeat, 1984, coveys the buoyancy of the upright composition of Meadmore’s iconic style. The work and title also convey the sculptor’s life-long interest in music, particularly jazz.

May 8 - Summer 2014 Opening Reception: Sat. May 10th, 3 -5 PM Karl Hagedorn (1922-2005) was an artist shaped by the time and history he lived through, as well as the geography of where he resided. His hometown was a small village in the mountains of what had previously been the Weimar Republic, Germany. His life were impacted by world history. As he wrote, "The Weimar Republic had given way to the Nazi regime and one's own life was no longer one's own but at the service of the goverment. Living in the Russian zone, Hagedorn related, "Art became more dream than reality." He and his family escaped to West Berlin in 1952. In Munich, he became a student at the Art Academy at the age 34. He considered his six years in West Germany (1953-1959) of tantamount importance to the growth of his art. He visited Paris which was a pivotal experience for him, as he came in contact with artists he had previously been unaware of. The Cubists and Surrealists, along with Leger, Picasso, Miro and Matisse were a revelation to him. He wrote, "They jolted my artistic system alive and capitulated me into the mid-20th century with a clearer direction for myself in it." The next stop for Hagedorn was the United States.

  • Tesi Del Dott. Jacopo Conti: Minimalismo ... -.:: Franco Fabbri
    UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO FACOLTÀ DI SCIENZE DELLA FORMAZIONE CORSO DI STUDIO TRIENNALE IN D.A.M.S. DISSERTAZIONE FINALE Minimalismo, modalità e improvvisazione nella musica dei nuovi King Crimson Relatore: Candidato: Ernesto Napolitano Jacopo Conti matr. n° 259083 Anno accademico 2006 - 2007 A mia zia, che credeva in me e mi ha sempre sostenuto. 1 PREMESSA “King Crimson was more a revolving door than a band. ” - Robert Palmer La cronologia dei King Crimson (KC) dal 1969 al 2003 è assai articolata, e include vari stili e molti musicisti con una sola presenza fissa, quella di Robert Fripp (1946), chitarrista e compositore inglese fondatore del gruppo. Considerati tra i fondatori del progressive rock, pubblicano l’album In The Court Of The Crimson King 1 nel 1969 con Fripp alla chitarra, Ian McDonald (1946) al sax e al mellotron, Michael Giles (1942) alla batteria, Greg Lake (1948) al basso e alla voce e Peter Sinfield (1943) nel ruolo di paroliere. I lunghi brani strutturati, gli elaborati riff suonati all’unisono e i testi di ispirazione fantastica e fiabesca non solo diventano la caratteristica principale del gruppo, ma anche gli elementi fondanti del nuovo genere. Già con il secondo lp, In The Wake Of Poseidon (1970), la formazione viene rimodellata: Mel Collins (1947) prende il posto di McDonald al sax, Gordon Haskell canta in alcuni brani (durante la lavorazione del disco Greg Lake abbandona il gruppo per andare a costituire il trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer), si aggiunge al pianoforte Keith Tippett (1947). Il gruppo si scioglie per qualche mese dopo l’incisione del disco per poi tornare, con un’altra formazione, alla fine del 1970.

  • The Sculpture of Clement Meadmore
    Modernism’s Twisted Rectangular Volumes - The Sculpture of Clement Meadmore Introducing Meadmore’s work as an ‘experience’ While strolling through the campus of New York’s Columbia University there looms before one’s sight an apparition in steel called ‘Curl’ which takes the mind back a long time ago into a vision of the primeval past when man had already linked movement to music, and dancing was born. So while the mind hums: “When you do dance, I wish you A wave o’ the sea, which you might ever do Nothing but that” ‘Curl’ seems ready to rend the air with a desire to animate itself so strong as if to begin to move any moment - and quite suddenly an enormous volume of the size of 12ft by 24ft by11 ft has been transmogrified to “turn and move through space - freely, emphatically and expressive of character.” At that point in time, ‘Curl’ which is actually a sculpture rendered by one of America’s foremost Abstract Expressionists Clement Meadmore, could well have been a personification of America’s modern dancer Alvin Ailey or British choreographer Siobhan Davies who believe that dancing is not just a noble language but “an agent that could in fact revitalise society.” In other words, the language of art that draws its sensibilities from music, dance, painting, sculpture and such, has an important role to play because, for the artist, these works are meant to frame or capture a glimpse of the arriving society or the triumphs and the angst of the ones past. But in Meadmore’s case, dancing could come to represent an even more elemental trigger going back to his childhood in Australia when his mother would instil in him an interest in the ballet, with concurrent exposures to Edgar Degas’ seminal work on ballet dancers.

Toivo Burlin: The creation (and re-creation) of virtual spatiality: Surround sound mixing in King Crimson’s back catalog box sets Abstract: The article analyzes surround mixing of King Crimson’s analog recordings. “Lizard,” “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic (Part 1),” “The Night Watch,” “Trio,” and “One Time” are analyzed using the theoretical perspec- tives of the music recording as representation and spatial design. There is a difference between live and studio recordings in surround: live recordings tend to be mixed according to the direct/ambient principle, while studio re- cordings are mixed according to the principle of direct-sound all around. Live recordings in surround can also often be understood as examples of documentarism, and studio recordings as examples of hyper realism. The spatial design of the surround mix tends to emphasize aspects of spatiality in the broad sense: where the recording can, for example, be interpreted as a landscape in sound. Introduction This essay discusses some tendencies in the emerging conventions in con- temporary surround mixing of popular music.

  • Hartwood-RFQ.Pdf
    Request for Qualifications for An Outdoor Sculpture Commission at Hartwood Acres Park Release date: Friday, October 30, 2020 Allegheny County Parks Foundation in Partnership with Allegheny County Budget: $100,000 Deadline: December 21, 2020 at 4:00 PM EST SUMMARY The Allegheny Parks Foundation in partnership with Allegheny County is soliciting proposals from individual artists or an artist team to install sculptural work outside at Hartwood Acres, one of the nine county parks. The artist or artist team will work in collaboration with the Allegheny County Parks Foundation to coordinate the design, fabrication and installation of the new artwork. The budget for this project is $100,000. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Allegheny County Parks Foundation strengthens the health and vibrancy of the community by improving, conserving and restoring the nine parks in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Working in partnership with Allegheny County, the Parks Foundation brings together ideas, leadership and resources to make the parks more sustainable and enjoyable for all. Originally designed as a country estate for an equestrian family, Hartwood Acres Park channels its opulent past in 629 acres of beauty. The original bridle trails still serve runners, bikers and cross-country skiers today. The park is well-known for its popular outdoor entertainment, including free summer concerts at the amphitheater. The newest treasure is the reimagined Hartwood Acres Sculpture Garden, an outdoor exhibition space for public art. Eleven sculptures were gifted to Hartwood Acres Park in the 1980s, when it was envisioned as an arts and culture park. A twelfth sculpture was added years later and another is on loan from the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.
