A. 1929 To my dear sister Bertha, who shares most of these memories with me, they are affectionately dedicated. THE LITTLE GIRL I USED TO BE The little girl I used to be Has come to-day to visit me. She wears her Sunday dress again — Merino, trimmed with gay delaine; Bare neck and shoulders, bare arms, too, Short sleeves caught up with knots of blue; Cunning black shoes, and stockings white, And ruffled pantelettes in sight. Her hair, ‘round Mother's finger curled, Looks “natural” for all the world! The little girl I used to be! So wistfully she looks at me! O, poignant is my heart's regret That ever I have failed her! yet, Something of her has come with me Along the years that used to be! I pray that when ‘tis time to go Away from all the life we know To the new life, where, free from sin, As little children we begin, This little girl I used to be Will still be here to go with me! —C. C. L. 1 LONG, LONG AGO Tell me the tales that to me were so dear, Long, long ago; long, long ago. Sing me the songs I delighted to hear, Long, long ago, long ago. F. H.

Virtual and Physical Environments in the Work of Pipilotti Rist, Doug Aitken, and Olafur Eliasson
Virtual and Physical Environments in the work of Pipilotti Rist, Doug Aitken, and Olafur Eliasson A thesis submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ART in the Art History Program of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning April 2012 by Ashton Tucker B.A., Bowling Green State University College of Arts and Sciences Committee Chair: Morgan Thomas, Ph.D. Reader: Kimberly Paice, Ph.D. Reader: Jessica Flores, M.A. ABSTRACT The common concerns of artists Pipilotti Rist (b. 1962), Doug Aitken (b. 1968), and Olafur Eliasson (b. 1967) are symptomatic of key questions in contemporary art and culture. In this study, I examine key works by each artist, emphasizing their common interest in the interplay of virtual space and physical space and, more generally, their use of screen aesthetics. Their focus on the creative interplay of virtuality and physicality is indicative of their understanding of the fragility and uncertainty of physical perception in a world dominated by screen-based communication. In chapter one, I explore Pipilotti Rist’s Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters) and argue that the artist creates work where screen based projection and installation are interrelated elements due to her interest in creating spaces that engage the viewer both physically and virtually. In chapter two, I discuss Doug Aitken’s work and argue that he democratizes the viewing experience in a more radical way than Pipilotti Rist. In the final chapter, I discuss the work of Olafur Eliasson as it relates to California Light and Space art and the phenomenological aspects of the eighteenth-century phantasmagoria. -

Peace Trail on the National Mall
PEACE TRAIL ON THE NATIONAL MALL Making Peace Possible Learn more about the United States Institute of Peace at www.usip.org PEACE TRAIL ON THE NATIONAL MALL Introduction The northwest corner of the National Mall could be considered the “War and Peace Corner” of our nation’s capital. It is home to this country’s most famous veterans memorials, which draw tens of millions of visitors each year. It is also home to the headquarters of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), and to other symbols and sites with peace themes, which, while generally less prominent, offer an important and complementary narrative. The following Peace Trail on the National Mall is the result of a collaboration between USIP and colleagues at the Guild of Professional Tour Guides of Washington, D.C. and at the National Park Service. Anchored at USIP and tracing a path to a dozen other key sites in the vicinity, it brings a “peace lens” to the experience of visiting the National Mall. It may be used as a self-guided walking tour or a reference guide, elevating stories of key figures, institutions, and moments in history that demonstrate America’s enduring commitment to peace. 1 M HA EDWARD R MURROW H ST NW 66 Decatur House Von Steuben PARK LAFAYETTE Kosciuszko NEW US Court of George New Executive PARK Appeals and Washington H ST NW Office Bldg Baruch Bench Jackson US Court University of Claims Renwick Gallery 24TH ST NW Rochambeau Treasury Annex Lafayette Juarez Blair-Lee House Closed roads G ST NW Eisenhower 14TH ST NW Executive Department Office of the F ST NW -
