Collar Works Gallery | Troy, NY | www.collarworks.org Susan Anthony !Troy Project, 2013 - ongoing, Archival Digital Prints, $200 ea. Troy, New York was one of the most prosperous cities in the United States during the Industrial Revolution, because of its proximity to the Hudson River, the Mohawk River and the Erie Canal. Troy suffered greatly when industry moved West and the economy has never really recovered. There are signs of change because of the community's resilience, but it is a slow, uphill battle. The story of Troy is one of suffering and sadness, but it is also one of hope and growth. My photographs depict the juxtaposition of past and present, old and new, !decay and rebirth in this remarkable historical city. Susan never planned to do this project. She visited Troy with a friend one day and fell in love with the city. She continued photographing on the street every other week until she met a Rabbi who introduced her to a number of Troy’s residents. Susan began photographing as many people who were interested, and each photo !shoot led to another. She’s been photographing in Troy for almost five years. !______________________________________________________________________________ Susan Anthony was born in Brooklyn, NY. Susan received her Bachelor’s Degree at Cooper Union, her Master’s Degree in Fine Arts at Berkeley, and a Master’s in Teaching Fine Art and Art Therapy at NYU and The New School. Many of her photographs are done in upstate New York, where she has a home in Columbia County, and in downtown Manhattan, where she has lived and worked for many years.

  • 2017 Abstracts
    Abstracts for the Annual SECAC Meeting in Columbus, Ohio October 25th-28th, 2017 Conference Chair, Aaron Petten, Columbus College of Art & Design Emma Abercrombie, SCAD Savannah The Millennial and the Millennial Female: Amalia Ulman and ORLAN This paper focuses on Amalia Ulman’s digital performance Excellences and Perfections and places it within the theoretical framework of ORLAN’s surgical performance series The Reincarnation of Saint Orlan. Ulman’s performance occurred over a twenty-one week period on the artist’s Instagram page. She posted a total of 184 photographs over twenty-one weeks. When viewed in their entirety and in relation to one another, the photographs reveal a narrative that can be separated into three distinct episodes in which Ulman performs three different female Instagram archetypes through the use of selfies and common Instagram image tropes. This paper pushes beyond the casual connection that has been suggested, but not explored, by art historians between the two artists and takes the comparison to task. Issues of postmodern identity are explored as they relate to the Internet culture of the 1990s when ORLAN began her surgery series and within the digital landscape of the Web 2.0 age that Ulman works in, where Instagram is the site of her performance and the selfie is a medium of choice. Abercrombie situates Ulman’s “image-body” performance within the critical framework of feminist performance practice, using the postmodern performance of ORLAN as a point of departure. J. Bradley Adams, Berry College Controlled Nature Focused on gardens, Adams’s work takes a range of forms and operates on different scales.

  • George Tooker David Zwirner
    David Zwirner New York London Hong Kong George Tooker Artist Biography George Tooker (1920–2011) is best known for his use of the traditional, painstaking medium of egg tempera in compositions reflecting urban life in American postwar society. Born in Brooklyn, he received a degree in English from Harvard University before he began his studies at the Art Students League in 1943, where he worked under the regionalist painter Reginald Marsh. In 1944, Tooker met the artist Paul Cadmus, and they soon became lovers. Cadmus, sixteen years his senior, introduced Tooker to the artist Jared French, with whom he was romantically involved, and French’s wife, Margaret Hoening French, and the four of them traveled extensively throughout Europe and vacationed regularly together. Tooker appears in a number of the photographs taken by PaJaMa, the photographic collective formed by Cadmus and the Frenches, and he served as a model for Cadmus’s painting Inventor (1946). Cadmus and French introduced Tooker to the time-intensive medium of egg tempera, which would become his principal medium. Tooker’s career found early success, due in part to his friend Lincoln Kirstein, the co-founder of the New York City Ballet, encouraging the inclusion of his work in the Fourteen Americans (1946) and Realists and Magic-Realists (1950) exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art. In 1950, Subway (1950) entered the Whitney Museum of American Art’s collection—the artist’s first museum acquisition—and the following year he received his first solo exhibition at the Edwin Hewitt Gallery. Near the end of the 1940s, Tooker parted ways with Cadmus because of the latter’s ongoing relationship with the Frenches.

TC 2014; 6(2): 278–296 Corinne Pache Theban Walls in Homeric Epic DOI 10.1515/tc-2014-0015 Throughout the Iliad, the Greeks at Troy often refer to the wars at Thebes in their speeches, and several important warriors fighting on the Greek side at Troy also fought at Thebes and are related to Theban heroes who besieged the Boeotian city a generation earlier. The Theban wars thus stand in the shadow of the story of war at Troy, another city surrounded by walls supposed to be impregnable. In the Odyssey, the Theban connections are less central, but nevertheless significant as one of our few sources concerning the building of the Theban walls. In this essay, I analyze Theban traces in Homeric epic as they relate to city walls. Since nothing explicitly concerning walls remains in the extant fragments of the Theban Cycle, we must look to Homeric poetry for formulaic and thematic elements that can be connected with Theban epic.
