Nicholas Napoli The Risorgimento and the Image of Italian Culture Ernst Renan famously articulated the cultural, political, and social ideal of the modern nation state in his 1882 lecture “What is a Nation?/Qu’est-ce qu’une nation?” Speaking in the midst of the territorial disputes over the Franco-German border regions of Alsace and Lorraine, Renan defined a nation not by geography, race, ethnicity, or language, but rather a shared sense of moral conscience that was acutely aware of its own past. He defined this conscience as the common possession of a “rich legacy of memories” and the shared desire to honor and perpetuate its values in the present day.1 He called this “the social capital upon which one bases a national idea.”2 A comparable question of political and cultural identity faced the nascent Kingdom of Italy in the middle of the nineteenth century. With Giuseppe Garibaldi’s conquest of Sicily and occupation of Naples and southern Italy in 1860, the Sardinian/Piedmontese monarch Vittorio Emanuele II could lay claim to the crown of a unified state that comprised most of the peninsula.

  • Contemporary and Historical Photographs of Pompeii As Well As
    YA L E UNIVERSITY A R T PRESS For Immediate Release GALLERY RELEASE March 2, 2018 POMPEII: PHOTOGRAPHS AND FRAGMENTS Contemporary and historical photographs of Pompeii as well as selected ancient objects offer a fresh perspective on the first-century Roman town March 2–August 19, 2018 March 2, 2018, New Haven, Conn.—The ancient city of Pompeii—both destroyed and preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in a.d. 79—has captured public imagination since it was first excavated in 1748. Questioning the established per- ception of Pompeii as a city frozen in time, Pompeii: Photographs and Fragments highlights the changing representations of the site since its rediscovery. The exhibition presents contemporary photo- graphs by William Wylie and An-My Lê, m.f.a. 1993, and a selection of 19th-century photographs by Edmund Behles, Robert Rive, and Giorgio Sommer William Wylie, Peristyle, House of the Colored Capitals or House of alongside an 18th-century etching by Francesco Ariadne (VII.4.31), 2015. Pigmented inkjet print. Yale University Art Gallery, Gift of the artist. © William Wylie Piranesi and ancient art from the Gallery’s collec- tion. Through these objects, Pompeii: Photographs and Fragments explores both the ancient history of the Roman town as well as its more recent history as an active excavation site. The exhibition was inspired by two projects that Wylie and Lê undertook during their Gallery- sponsored Happy and Bob Doran Artist Residencies in Praiano, Italy. Wylie’s large-scale photographs of Pompeii, taken between 2013 and 2017 and recently brought together in a book published by the Gallery titled Pompeii Archive, document the passage of time—the ongoing cycles of deterioration and preservation that mark the site as a living landscape.

  • From the Same Group of Photographs, a General View of the Acropolis from the Hill of Philpappos Captures the Site Prior to Removal of Some Post-Classical Evidence
    From the same group of photographs, a general view of the Acropolis from the Hill of Philpappos captures the site prior to removal of some post-Classical evidence. The Frankish Tower, east of the Propylaia is visible before its demolition in 1874–75. Precise details on the construction date, builders and purpose of the tower remain elusive but it was one of thirty known medieval towers to have been erected in central Greece. It was demolished to remove non-Classical interventions on the site of the Acropolis and return the site to a state approximating its Classical fifth century BCE appearance, symbolic of the country’s independent and illustrious past.

The panorama was displayed at the Architectural Photographic Association in 1858 and at the Photographic Society in 1859. Titled Cairo from the Citadel, a structure that offers a commanding view of the city, this First View includes, beyond Rumayla square, the Madrasa and Friday Mosque of Sultan Hasan built 1356–63, with flat roofs and slanted sheds in the foreground, and a dense city fabric stretching to the horizon. The mosque was considered an extraordinary monument in the Muslim world, and the most expensive structure built in medieval Cairo.

A catalyst and an illuminator, but also a magnet for scandal, Robert Mapplethorpe had but one goal: to ‘make it’ as an artist and as an art celebrity. He could not have picked a better time: the Manhattan of Warhol’s Factory, Studio 54, and an era of unbridled hedonistic sexuality. His first solo exhibition in 1976 already unveils his subjects: flowers, portraits and nudes. Mapplethorpe quickly gains notoriety through his explicitly sexual photographs from the gay sadomasochistic scene as well as nude pictures of black men. Directors Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato were given unrestricted access to Mapplethorpe’s archives for their documentary Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures, in which this exceptional artist talks candidly about himself in recently discovered interviews.

They will almost certainly inspire Chile, Argentina, Canada, France, and you to ask questions about yourself America, all before the age of 16. He “I moved to New York City because of people like this. I wanted to be around the art crowd and the and your sexuality. They will not leave would have to learn many languages weirdos and the freaks...and here was a full-on book of them. I was like, where do I sign up? I wanted in.” you cold. The Halloween glamour of and integrate each new world, so the transvestite world is captured in it is not surprising that expression, —Ryan McGinley, from the Foreword these superb photographs by Gilles communication, and curiosity became Larrain. And, beneath the glitter and the framework for Larrain’s life pursuit, the pose, you will see the questing and the making of art. From architecture, to vulnerable souls of people you might painting, sculpture, creating happenings never meet outside these pages. People in New York City’s fabulous 60s, and living out their fantasies gallantly, photography, Gilles Larrain learned brilliantly, and desperately—posing the languages of his craft (in part by the disturbing challenge, “Who do you attending l’École Nationale Supérieure think YOU are?” des Beaux-Arts, Paris and MIT) as IDOLS he had those of his ever-changing Idols are revolutionary images environments growing up.

    THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY The Research Library of the Mack Lee Gallery 2,633 titles in circa 3,140 volumes Lee Gallery Photography Research Library Comprising over 3,100 volumes of monographs, exhibition catalogues and periodicals, the Lee Gallery Photography Research Library provides an overview of the history of photography, with a focus on the nineteenth century, in particular on the first three decades after the invention photography. Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.

    Critical Mass Happenings Fluxus Performance Intermedia and Rutgers University 1958-1972 By: Geoffrey Hendricks ISBN: 0813533031 See detail of this book on Amazon.com Book served by AMAZON NOIR (www.amazon-noir.com) project by: PAOLO CIRIO paolocirio.net UBERMORGEN.COM ubermorgen.com ALESSANDRO LUDOVICO neural.it Page 1 Critical Mass: Some Reflections M O R D E C A I - M A R K M A C L O W Icons of my childhood were the piles of red-bound copies of An Anthology that my father, Jackson Mac Low, received for having edited and published it. Despite his repeated declarations that he was not a part of George Maciunas's self-declared movement, my father's involve- ment in the first Fluxus book left him irrevocably tangled in it. I myself seem to have been influenced by my father's experimental, algorithmic approach to poetry, and ended up a computational astrophysicist, studying how stars form out of the chaotic, turbulent interstellar gas. I think there was some hope that with this background I might explain the true, or correct, meaning of the term "critical mass." Unfortunately, as a scientist, I have no special access to truth, and correctness depends entirely on con- text. Let me explain this a bit before discussing the term "critical mass" itself. Science is often taught as if it consisted of a series of true facts, strung together with a narrative of how these facts were discovered. The actual practice of sci- ence, however, requires the assumption that nothing is guaranteed to be true except as, and only so far as, it can be confirmed by empirical evidence.
