  • A History of Looking.’
    GETTING IN ON THE ACT ‘A History of Looking.’ Volume 1. Nichola Cecelia Bird Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD University of Leeds Department of Fine Art September 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. Abstract My research has been a form of retrieval with the starting point often being an original or ‘found’ photograph. I am interested in how ‘documentary’ photography, whether by accident or design, catches and preserves the peripheral. I have been working with a series of ‘historical’ photographs, in which an unidentified individual or group who are ‘peripheral’ to the main point of the photograph, have been ‘caught’ within its frame. The retrieval is in using those ‘unassumed’ parts of the ‘found’ photograph, so they become another source of meaning. The theme of ‘the periphery’ has become the basis for my research, resulting in both artworks and writings. For example, the installation The Fitting and the text A History of Looking are based on a little known photograph of Marilyn Monroe watched by a group of unidentified women. Both outcomes are different kinds of ‘close readings’ of the original image. While the installation is concerned with image, viewer and space, the text investigates the process of memory and speculation; how ‘photography’, 'autobiography’ and ‘history’ are also embroiled with aspects of femininity, consumption and nostalgia. An investigation of an original photograph can take two routes: one in which the camera documents the process or journey – collecting evidence of possible traces of places or people.

    The American Century Theater presents by George Axelrod Audience Guide Written and compiled by Jack Marshall January 15–February 6 Theatre II, Gunston Arts Center Theater you can afford to seesee———— ppplaysplays you can’t afford to miss! About The American Century Theater The American Century Theater was founded in 1994. We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, and neglected American plays of the twentieth century . what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, not nostalgia or preservation. Americans must not lose the extraordinary vision and wisdom of past playwrights, nor can we afford to surrender our moorings to our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater, and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all Americans, of all ages, origins and points of view. In particular, we strive to create theatrical experiences that entire families can watch, enjoy, and discuss long afterward. These audience guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate. The American Century Theater is a 501(c)(3) professional nonprofit theater company dedicated to producing significant 20th Century American plays and musicals at risk of being forgotten. The American Century Theater is supported in part by Arlington County through the Cultural Affairs Division of the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources and the Arlington Commission for the Arts. This arts event is made possible in part by the Virginia Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as by many generous donors.
