Ja no sols per a representar-se a si mateixa i davant de les altres com a cos social específic i dotat de referents propis, sinó per a ajudar a construir l'escala de valors amb els quals es cohesiona i per a definir així mateix els seus objectius més ferms i vinculants. I incidisc en el valor integrador de l'expressió “creativitat contemporània” per l'extraordinària versatilitat de discursos, llenguatges, suports, situacions i contextos que esta disposa, la facultat per a revelar-se com un agent catalitzador capaç de generar tot tipus de debats, sacsar consciències, i apostar, en suma, per plantejar solucions als múltiples dilemes urgents que graviten sobre les nostres societats. D’aquest complex escenari participem els valencians i valencianes amb una relació de valors creatius units per la qualitat de les seues produccions, fidel reflex d'unes carreres conduïdes pel talent, la constància i la il·lusió, però també per la convicció en la força de la creació artística com a índex identificador de la pròpia personalitat del poble valencià. La Conselleria valora especialment l'aposta d’aquest singular i necessari segment de la societat per mitjà, d'una banda, dels diferents programes i accions específiques que impulsem a favor de la producció i difusió de les seues obres, però també per mitjà d'una iniciativa que resulta tan decididament segura de les seues potencialitats actuals com disposada a renovar-les i incrementar-les a futur. Aquesta iniciativa, consensuada entre persones expertes en art contemporani, professionals de la crítica especialitzada i representants del panorama acadèmic i docent de l'art contemporani valencià, és l’inici d'una col·lecció pròpia d'obres d'art que permetrà a la Generalitat ampliar el seu patrimoni cultural. Les primeres obres de la col·lecció han sigut seleccionades d'acord amb criteris centrats en els reptes a què la creació contemporània ha de respondre i fer front. I és que només el caràcter reivindicatiu de l'exercici artístic faculta els creadors i creadores per a assumir la responsabilitat d'esperonar les nostres consciències allunyant-les dels missatges codificats, seriats i unidireccionals que es deriven d'aquests temps líquids. Des d'estes línies vull així invitar que valoren l'esforç i la capacitat dels i les artistes presents en esta primera presa de contacte que és aquesta mostra, i que a través d'un exercici d'apel·lació directa, els valencians i valencianes assumisquen el repte de reflexionar sobre els diversos i interessants posicionaments, idees i enfocaments que mostren totes aquestes obres. Vicent Marzà i Ibáñez Conseller d’Educació, Investigació, Cultura i Esport 23 En nuestros días, resulta evidente que la creatividad contemporánea es uno de At present, it is clear that contemporary creativity is one of the most necessary los activos más precisos con los que una sociedad puede contar.

  • February 25, 2019 Minutes
    ARTS AND CULTURE ADVISORY COMMISSION CITY OF PARK RAPIDS Minutes of February 25, 2019 Paul Dove called the meeting of the Park Rapids Arts and Culture Advisory Commission to order at noon Monday, February 25, 2019 at City Hall. Also present were Laura Grisamore, Lu Ann Hurd-Lof, Nancy Newman, Rod Nordberg, and city planner Andrew Mack After brief discussion, Laura moved a resolution recommending support to the City Council to implement the Ojibwe signage project for city owned buildings and parks. Rod seconded the motion. Motion passed. The project is identified in the City Arts and Culture Plan, Goal 3: Protect and promote Park Rapids historic and cultural assets. An extension of the Peace by Piece project has been discussed at the City Parks Board meeting as a proposal to place one 2X4’ screen and one 4X4’ screen to block public view of the utility box in Pioneer Park. The Commission is interested in the art work that would be used on the screens and will invite Chris Fieldsend and Kim Donahue to present a concept plan at a future meeting. The Parks Board supports submitting a Department of Natural Resources Legacy grant application to remodel the bath house in Red Bridge Park. About half the space would be for restrooms. Andrew is suggesting the other half could be used as a makers space or arts quarters with rental fees going toward the cost of weekend restroom maintenance, possibly year round. There was some discussion about what entity would manage the rental space. Lu Ann moved to recommend the City Council support the grant application.

D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Interview BH: BETTY LOCHRIE HOAG BM: BUCKLEY MAC-GURRIN BH: Mr. Mac-Gurrin, you were one of the most important artists on the Projects which the Archives is studying because of the work that you did in the Los Angeles County Museum and also in the Los Angeles Hall of Records, where you did half of ten murals which are certainly some of the most interesting done during the Project. It involved more research and involved working with more of the Project groups that most others. But, before we talk about them, I'd like to ask you a little about your own life. Will you please tell us where you were born and when? BM: Well, I was born Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1896. BH: Of Irish-American parents? BM: Yes, yes. Both my parents were from Grand Rapids, and my grandparents were also. BH: Where did you go to school? BM: I went to parochial grammar school in Kalamazoo and then we moved out to Salt Lake City in 1912 and I went to Salt Lake High School for one semester and I went to All Hallows College for one semester. From there I went down to Santa Clara in California, and I went through high school down there and my first year in college at Santa Clara. BH: I see. And then you went on to the University of California after that, didn't you? BM: Yes.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Abstract This thesis uses neo-Marxist theories of the state and their application to New Deal historiography as the framework within which to analyse the artworks produced under the auspices of the Treasury Section of Painting and Sculpture from 1934 to 1943 in Washington, D.C. Taking as its focus the murals and sculptures produced for the Justice Department, the Interior Department, and the Social Security Administration buildings it seeks to demonstrate how Section art reflected the twists and turns of the Roosevelt administration as it moved through the First New Deal, the Second New Deal, and the constitutional crisis in the lead up to war in Europe.

  • Public Art ELEANOR HOWE
    The Art of Public Art ELEANOR HOWE IN THE LOBBY OF THE NATIONAL GUARD MILITARY CENTER ON THE western edge of Raleigh hangs a haunting portrait of a young citizen soldier preparing for active duty. Wearing a casual shirt and a baseball cap, he faces a mirror, his back to the viewer. A newspaper lies open on the bureau below the mirror. “Guard Mobilized!” its headline shouts. In the mirror the man’s image wears fatigues and a flak helmet. For Major Danny W. Hassell, this work made from hundreds of tiny pieces of wood “goes to the very heart of what the National Guard is all about; I think you can imagine the thoughts that are going through this man’s mind.”1 V WHEN THE SUN BEGINS TO SET OVER THE campus of East Carolina University in Green- ville, the broad, brick-lined plaza in front of Joyner Library comes alive with sound and lights. Keeping time to a recorded drumbeat, water dances across the surface of a high wall adjacent to a clock tower. Below the tower rises a wispy fog, illuminated by subterranean lights. As the sun’s last rays strike the tower, a set of Untitled marquetry (hand-cut wood doors opens, a small pirate cannon rolls out and—boom!—salutes the evening. panel), by Silas Kopf, 1992, at the For library director Carol Varner, this interactive entryway “pulls people in and National Guard Military Center, makes them want to experience the library and the rest of the campus in a Raleigh. different way.”2 V IN WEST JEFFERSON A LARGE PAINTING OF MOUNT JEFFERSON SURROUNDED by rhododendron, columbine, trillium, and other native plants and trees has transformed a once-drab wall facing a parking lot on the main street.
