The talks' agenda also scheduled issues of bilateral interest and topical files of the European and the international policy. The two Foreign Ministers gladly emphasized the excellent level of the political and economic cooperation between Romania and Germany, which has been proved by the frequent summit meetings, during the latest years, and the consolidation of Germany's position as Romania's first-ranked commercial partner. The bilateral exchanges between Germany and Romania exceeded 17 billion euros, late in 2011, by 25 percent higher than in the previous year. Romania's top diplomat reiterated the Romanian Government's determination to secure a favorable climate to the foreign investors, and invited the German party to increase its investments in our country, particularly in fields such as energy, banking, infrastructure, regional development. ForMin Cristian Diaconescu also underscored the considerable contribution the German minority living in Romania, and the Romanian community living in Germany make to the development of the bilateral relationships. Referring to the European agenda, ForMin Diaconescu conveyed the Romanian party's appreciation for the favourable stance the German partners took regarding Romania's joining the Schengen Space. "I want to thank Foreign Minister Westerwelle for Germany's support and constructive approach to Romania's accession to the Schengen area. I explained that we are prepared to secure the EU external borders, as it has been also confirmed at the Council in June 2011, so that I express hope that the EU states, which are still reticent about Romania's joining the Schengen Arundel House, 4 Palace Green London W8 4QD UK Phone: 0044 (0)20 7937 9666 Fax: 0044 (0)20 7937 8069 e-mail: [email protected] web site: www.london.mae.ro Embassy of Romania in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Treaty will agree on the decision on our joining, due to be made in September 2012," said Romania's Minister for Foreign Affairs.

At the same time, he asked for the Obama Administration's support for having the US Senate pass the bill modifying the VWP accession criteria in a way that will allow including Romania therein as soon as possible," the Romanian Foreign Ministry (MAE) reports in a pres release.

The ballistic missile defence project becomes a reality thanks to Romania's efforts, MAE quotes the American State Secretary Clinton as saying. At the meeting, Secretary of State Clinton extended thanks for Romania continuing its presence in Afghanistan. Ministers Diaconescu and Clinton underscored the need to boost trade and stimulate the interest of the US investors in the Romanian market.

The Romanian chief diplomat also hailed the recent establishment of a Romanian-US Business Council that is expected to significantly contribute to consolidating the bilateral relations between the two countries in business and trade, reiterating Romania's interest in expanding and diversifying cooperation with the US in the energy field.

Cone Endowment and a grant from the PNC Foundation. ABOUT THE MUSIC David Lang writes: Over the summer I asked Matthew Shipp if he would like to play for us the music from his recent recording The Piano Equation. This album came out towards the beginning of the pandemic and I found myself listening to it over and over—its unhurried wandering and unpredictable changes of pace and energy made it a welcome, thoughtful accompaniment to the lockdown. My official COVID soundtrack. Matthew agreed, but he warned me that what he would play might not sound too much like what I had heard on the recording. This music is improvised, which means that it is different every time. And of course, that is one of the reasons why I am interested in sharing it on our season. We have been grouping concerts under the broad heading of ‘virtuosity’–how music can be designed so that we watch and hear a musical problem being overcome, right before our eyes and ears. Improvisation is a virtuosity all its own, a virtuosity of imagination, of flexibility, of spontaneity.

In the first phase John Tchicai did supply a lot of information on his recordings. However – because of the complications after he suffered a stroke in June 2012 – he did not see the final result. Edited by Erik Raben Please mail all corrections and comments to [email protected]. Content The Discography covers John Tchicai’s recordings 1962 – 2012. Available video recordings are also included. The Detailed Listing of Issues has information on the issues (LP/CD names etc.) – followed by the year of recording. An overview of some of the most relevant issues is found in the Selective Listing of Issues.

    128 CHAPTER 6 CRISIS WITH GERMANY It was shortly after New Year's day, 1939. I was sitting at my desk at the Foreign Ministry, going through the routine chores of a Secretary General, a post to which I had just been appointed. Suddenly the door opened without the ' customary knock. I raised my eyes; my eyebrows went up. The unannounced intruder was a slim, youngish, remarkably hand- some man. He was wearing a magnificent uniform, the like of which I had never seen before: royal blue, with red facings and pipings, and gold epaulettes and insignia. I started to rub my un- believing eyes. Was this a dream? What stage apparition was this? Would this gay musical comedy star break out in a song- and-dance act? But no. It was none other than the newly appointed Foreign Minister, my good friend Grigore Gafencu. Very far from sing- ing and dancing, he felt atrociously self-conscious in this fancy uniform, which King Carol had suddenly decided to impose on his cabinet ministers, and which shortly would become obligatory for all state officials without exception. Gafencu had decided to enter the government after some hesi- tation, yielding to the pressing requests of Carol whose intimate friend he had been in their youth. He had no part in the estab- lishment of the king's dictatorial regime.We were at a perilous crossroads: a grave crisis had broken out with Hitler, and Romania was under bereft of the effec- . direct threat, seemingly tive support of her allies and friends. Gafencu must have accepted this burden against his better judgment; but once he had done so, he had resolutely shouldered the load.

In a brief article of 1993, Lucian Boia outlined the destinies of some Western models which had come in contact with the Romanian culture; a Belgian model, seen as an appendage of the French, an English one, which in his opinion was completely marginal, and others that enjoyed a more or less brilliant fate (German, Italian, etc.) 1. Please note that each of the topics mentioned above enjoyed special attention in Romanian historiography; see for instance the studies authored by Aurel Filimon, Gheorghe Platon and even my own, dedicated to the Romanian- Belgian relations; those by Dan Berindei, Pompiliu Eliade, Nicolae Iorga and Nicolae Isar for the French case; those by Zigu Ornea regarding the German influences on the political and literary thought of the Junimea group; those by Eugen Denize and George L ăzărescu, on the cultural and political interferences between Italy and Romania, etc.

  • Press Release Art & Language Letters to the Jackson Pollock Bar in The
    Press Release Art & Language Letters to The Jackson Pollock Bar in the Style of The Red Krayola Featuring Matthew Jesse Jackson John Coxon and J. Spaceman Thursday, October 24, 2019 504 West 24th Street, New York Doors: 6pm Performances: 6.30 – 8.30pm RSVP required: [email protected] Lisson Gallery New York is pleased to present a night of performance, discussion and music inspired by the pioneering work of Art & Language and their 40-year collaboration with The Red Krayola, a punk band founded in Houston, Texas, by Mayo Thompson and Frederick Barthelme in 1966. The evening will also feature a discussion with Art & Language, hosted by art historian Matthew Jesse Jackson, as well as a newly commissioned homage to some of The Red Krayola’s earliest live shows, composed by musicians J. Spaceman (of Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized) and John Coxon (from Spring Heel Jack and the Treader label). After the conceptual art group known as Art & Language was formed in 1968 at Coventry College of Art in the UK, it quickly spread to New York where it centered on two important journals, Art-Language (1969-85) and then later The Fox (1975-76), by which time some 20 artists were connected in various ways with the name. It was around this time that an album entitled Corrected Slogans came out, marking the first collaboration between Art & Language in the UK and The Red Krayola, in which snippets and slogans from conceptual art theory and philosophical tracts were sung or chanted over music composed in response by Thompson’s band.
