Committee Presentation Global May Paris Office of International Affairs Education Abroad • Resident Director: Dr. Benjamin Hoffmann Department of French and Italian • Second Resident Director: Dr. Lucille Toth Department of French and Italian • Program Coordinator: Charlie Gbur Office of International Affairs Lucille is an Assistant Professor at Ohio State Newark, where she teaches all levels of French language and culture. Her research interests include French contemporary dance and literature, the history of the body, cultural representations of AIDS, and queer theory. Description During this Study-Abroad program, we will explore the social, cultural, and geographical history of the city of Paris from the Middle Ages to the present through the visit of a number of key places in the French capital. We will pay special attention to the city’s landscape– both its natural and human-made aspects–and the evolution of that landscape over the last 800 years. We will reflect both on how Parisian landscape has shaped Parisian society and how the latter has in turn shaped and transformed the former to suit the evolving needs and desires of its citizens. Students will witness in person how the city of lights has evolved over time, gain an appreciation of Paris’s rich history, and get to know the ultra-modern and global city it has become. On campus… Two afternoons before the departure (time and location TBA). Lectures about the History of Paris and some of the places we’ll discover together (in particular, Versailles). Activities to get to know each other before the big trip.

  • Press Kit: VINCI, the Art of Museums
    PRESS KIT VINCI, the art of museums Press kit /// VINCI, the art of museums /// June 2013 1 Introduction The Museum concept was first introduced in Europe, primarily in France, at the end of the 18th century for reasons that originally had nothing to do with economics or urban amenity. Until the 1950s, the purpose of the museum was exclusively conservation, in a continuation of the 19th century tradition of private collections. The real museum revolution originated primarily in the United States, where Peggy Guggenheim laid the foundations for the 20th century museum industry, and was also driven by democratisation and the development of cultural industries in Europe. Today, the number, role and visibility of these institutions have undergone radical change. No longer exclusively focused on conservation, the museum has become a flagship institution that lends resonance to the community. Cultural activities create economic value and give cities momentum. Culture also promotes social inclusion when approached as a way to improve "living together". The museum is now seen as an urban landmark and a driver of urban life. With its innovative and bold architecture, the museum is often a work of art in its own right. Building or renovating a museum is therefore a high profile but complex operation. The success of such projects requires broad vision, acknowledged capabilities in advanced technology engineering, sophisticated resources, flawless coordination and total commitment to managing people. On the strength of these qualities, VINCI companies regularly work on exceptional museum projects around the world. Their design, building, network and maintenance expertise makes all the difference in the demanding museum market.

  • Sikkema Jenkins & Co. Is Pleased to Present a Solo Exhibition of New
    Sikkema Jenkins & Co. is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by Sheila Hicks on view at the gallery from October 22 through November 28, 2015. For over 50 years, Sheila Hicks has expanded the boundaries of the woven form to create a distinctive and innovative body of work that defies traditional categorization into the fields of fine art, craft, design, and architecture. While constantly innovating with the use of novel materials and forms, Hicks’ work continues to reflect her early art training. A student of Josef Albers at Yale in the 1950s, color remains a central concern for Hicks. Awarded a Fulbright scholarship to paint in Chile, Hicks photographed indigenous weavers and archeological sites in the Andes. This, along with extended trips throughout Peru, Bolivia and the volcanic region of Villarrica, the island of Chiloé, and Tierra del Fuego, reinforced Hicks’ interest in the textile vocabulary as an artistic medium which she continues to expand today. The current exhibition revisits and reimagines The Treaty of Chromatic Zones, a monumental bas- relief of pure pigmented fiber originally realized for Art Basel Unlimited in June of 2015. Hicks showcases the supple and flexible qualities of her materials, sometimes deconstructing and reassembling previously used entities to explore their infinite possibilities of form and movement. The Evolving Tapestry: He/She, 1967-68, in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, exemplifies this idea: thousands of spun, twisted, bound and stacked yarns of linen and silk are amassed and morph into different shapes and structures each time the work is installed.

  • Niki De Saint Phalle's International Workshop
    Niki de Saint Phalle’s International Workshop Like the great cathedrals of Europe that inspired her work, Niki de Saint Phalle’s own monumental projects are the creation of both a singular vision and a collective ideal. Since the 1970s, she has collaborated with a team of artists, artisans, and other specialists whose own unique talents and fierce dedication were critical to the realization of many of her large-scale environmental gardens, parks, and public art projects. The building of Queen Califia’s Magical Circle is no exception and for the four individuals whose stories are highlighted below, the opportunity to work with Saint Phalle over the years has been deeply affecting on both a personal and professional level. “I have been very fortunate in my life to work with many leading artists like Richard Serra and Jasper Johns and I think that Niki has been one of my major influences,” said Ron McPherson, whose company La Paloma has fabricated many of the artist’s large sculptures since 1994. “It is just incredible to see a person that can live in so many different worlds at one time—a mature woman, a child, a mystic, and a realist.” Marcelo Zitelli, La Jolla, California Argentinean-born Marcelo Zitelli first met Saint Phalle in 1987 in Paris where he had come to work in the theater. For the first five years, he lived in the artist’s home, assisting her in the making of small maquettes from original drawings, and working with her and Jean Tinguely on the fountain at Château Chinon for French President Mitterand, and at the Tarot Garden in southern Tuscany.
