    UC Santa Cruz Pacific Arts: The Journal of the Pacific Arts Association Title Making Room for Earth in Hawaiʻi: Sean Connelly’s A Small Area of Land Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4b79w9v6 Journal Pacific Arts: The Journal of the Pacific Arts Association, 20(1) Author Katzeman, Aaron Publication Date 2021 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 4.0 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California AARON KATZEMAN Making Room for Earth in Hawaiʻi: Sean Connelly’s A Small Area of Land Abstract In 2013, Pacific Islander American artist and architect Sean Connelly formed a geometric sculpture with 32,000 pounds of earthen matter at the now-closed ii Gallery in the Kakaʻako neighborhood of Honolulu. Titled A Small Area of Land (Kakaʻako Earth Room), the work was composed of volcanic soil and coral sand—deemed by Connelly as “two of Hawaiʻi’s most politically charged materials and highly valued commodities”—sourced from various locations on the island of Oʻahu. Connelly allowed his sculpture to slowly erode in the gallery over the course of its instal- lation, a non-gesture toward what might seem to be uncontrollable disintegration. A Small Area of Land adds a divergent dimension to Euro-American art movements, pushing back against the rigidity and firmness of minimalism and the grand impositions of land art that initially inspired him. In doing so, Connelly expands the notion of “land” beyond a material or merely site-specific interest for artists into something that additionally includes more explicit references to struc- tural systems of dispossession, exploitation, theft, and lasting injustices.

  • Size, Scale and the Imaginary in the Work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim
    Larger than life: size, scale and the imaginary in the work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim © Michael Albert Hedger A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Art History and Art Education UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES | Art & Design August 2014 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hedger First name: Michael Other name/s: Albert Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: Ph.D. School: Art History and Education Faculty: Art & Design Title: Larger than life: size, scale and the imaginary in the work of Land Artists Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria and Dennis Oppenheim Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Conventionally understood to be gigantic interventions in remote sites such as the deserts of Utah and Nevada, and packed with characteristics of "romance", "adventure" and "masculinity", Land Art (as this thesis shows) is a far more nuanced phenomenon. Through an examination of the work of three seminal artists: Michael Heizer (b. 1944), Dennis Oppenheim (1938-2011) and Walter De Maria (1935-2013), the thesis argues for an expanded reading of Land Art; one that recognizes the significance of size and scale but which takes a new view of these essential elements. This is achieved first by the introduction of the "imaginary" into the discourse on Land Art through two major literary texts, Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726) and Shelley's sonnet Ozymandias (1818)- works that, in addition to size and scale, negotiate presence and absence, the whimsical and fantastic, longevity and death, in ways that strongly resonate with Heizer, De Maria and especially Oppenheim.

The ease with which the grocery supply chain can now be managed through software and mobile devices has driven an explosion of invest- ment in food and grocery e-commerce startups—close to $500 million in the past year. That’s helped spawn growth in the farm-to-table niche—and in its East Coast epicenter, Brooklyn. Competition has grown so intense among local-food delivery firms and entrenched players like FreshDirect that one Brooklyn startup, Farmigo, recently switched its focus from the boroughs to the suburbs. Experts say a historic shift in the formerly sleepy sector is taking place as a result of new technology meeting pent-up demand. “Distribution has always been the biggest problem for the local-food movement,” said Carlotta Mast, senior director of content at New Hope Natural Media, which covers the natural foods industry.

  • How Digital Cameras Capture Light
    1 Open Your Shutters How Digital Cameras Capture Light Avery Cirincione­Lynch Eighth Grade Project Paper Hilltown Cooperative Charter School June 2014 2 Cover image courtesy of tumblr.com How Can I Develop This: Introduction Imagine you are walking into a dark room; at first you can't see anything, but as your pupils begin to dilate, you can start to see the details and colors of the room. Now imagine you are holding a film camera in a field of flowers on a sunny day; you focus on a beautiful flower and snap a picture. Once you develop it, it comes out just how you wanted it to so you hang it on your wall. Lastly, imagine you are standing over that same flower, but, this time after snapping the photograph, instead of having to developing it, you can just download it to a computer and print it out. All three of these scenarios are examples of capturing light. Our eyes use an optic nerve in the back of the eye that converts the image it senses into a set of electric signals and transmits it to the brain (Wikipedia, Eye). Film cameras use film; once the image is projected through the lens and on to the film, a chemical reaction occurs recording the light. Digital cameras use electronic sensors in the back of the camera to capture the light. Currently, there are two main types of sensors used for digital photography: the charge­coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal­oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors. Both of these methods convert the intensity of the light at each pixel into binary form, so the picture can be displayed and saved as a digital file (Wikipedia, Image Sensor).
