I explore and analyse key examples of her interartistic practice throughout her career. These include: Varo’s liter- ary experiments, co-creating the surrealist play El santo cuerpo grasoso with Leonora Carrington; the commercial commissions she carried out for Bayer which is here read in relation to their context of publication; her best-known sculptural work, Homo rodans, examined in relation to the hybrid text which accompanied it and the various traces of its performative composition; and her most famous ‘treatise’ on interartistic practice, the painting La creación de las aves, which is read alongside a selection of her dream narratives. These works are primarily analysed using an interdisciplinary framework that includes cultural and literary studies, theatre and performance studies as well as an- thropology and philosophy. Overall, the analysis demonstrates that the extant critical insistence on translating her into a single dominant frame or worldview, even while rec- ognising the importance of her diasporic mobility, ultimately reduces the liminal, per- formative and often playful nature of her work and downplays her capacity to negotiate and move between different languages, cultures, media and disciplines. iii Table of Contents Abstract ii Table of contents iii List of illustrations vi Chronology and key exhibitions vii Declaration xii Acknowledgements xiii Introduction 1 Chapter One – Literature Review 13 Chapter Two – Mattering Maps: Spaces of Co-Creation in El santo cuerpo grasoso 31 2.1.

Oil on masonite 182 vii Chronology and Key Exhibitions 1908 Remedios Varo is born 16 December in Anglès, Girona (Spain), Carrer Indústria, 5 (now number 9). The family subsequently moves to the Carrer Major 13, oppo- site Cal Rellotger. She is the middle child of Rodrigo Varo and Ignacia Uranga. She is named after the patron of the village — the Verge del Remei (Virgin of good remedy). 1913 Varo moves with her family to Algeciras (Cádiz). 1917 Varo and her family move to Madrid (Spain). 1917 - 1922 Varo studies in a convent school the Instituto de San Isidro. 1922 - 1924 She joins the Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Madrid. 1924 - 1929 She starts training in the Academia de San Fernando art school in Madrid, and meets José Luis Florit, Gerardo Lizarraga, Pedro Lozano and Francisco Ribe- ra, as well as Maruja Mallo, Delhy Tejero and Francis Bartolozzi. 1929 Varo travels to Paris to study at La Grande Chaumière and she stays at a residence run by nuns. 1930 Back in Madrid, Varo marries Gerardo Lizarraga, her fellow student and painter from the San Fernando Academy, in San Sebastián. The wedding takes place on 6 September in the church of San Vicente. 1931 The couple moves to Paris. They live at Aubesprine, 26. Two years later they de- cide to move back to Barcelona due to financial problems. They contact their friend Francisco Ribera who is now art director of the Walter Thompson advertis- ing Company. 1932 Varo and Lizarraga settle in Barcelona, where Lizarraga starts work for Thomp- son. Lizarraga gets the contract first. They live in Carrer Muntaner in a shared flat, then move to their own apartment in Avinguda Gaudí. Later they move to viii Ronda Sant Antoni. Varo shares a studio with Esteban Francés in Plaça Lesseps. In this period, she meets Marcel Jean and Oscar Domínguez. 1933 Varo’s father dies. As a result of his death, she no longer receives an allowance, which is the reason she has to start to work at Thompson. 1935 Varo takes part in the surrealist games Cadavres Exquis with Esteban Francés, and José Florit, among others. She participates in a drawing exhibition together with Florit in Madrid at Cafeteria Yacaré, in the Gran Vía. During this time Varo sepa- rates from Gerardo Lizarraga. 1936 In autumn 1936, she meets surrealist poet Benjamin Péret in Barcelona. When he goes to Aragone front, they remain in contact. His letters indicate that he is ob- sessed with her and wants her to move to Paris with him. Three of Varo’s early works are exhibited in the Exhibition Logicofobista organ- ised by the group ADLAN (Amics de l’Art Nou). 1937 (March/April) Varo moves to Paris. 1938 While in France, some of her works are included in the Surrealist Exhibition in Paris, at the Galérie Beaux-Arts. It is believed that during this time she first meets Leonora Carrington. Varo participates in a Fashion Design Exhibition in Paris with some of her de- signs. 1939 Due to political instability and Péret being incarcerated due to his politics, Varo moves to the south of France where she shares a house with painter Victor Brauner. Later she joins Péret — now free — at the Villa Air-Bel. For a few months, the couple share the Villa with other surrealist artists such as André Bre- ton, Óscar Domínguez, Max Ernst, Leonora Carrington and André Masson, among others. Varo’s young brother Luis dies at age 25. ix 1940 Varo is imprisoned for a short time. She has one painting at the International Exhibition of Surrealism in Mexico City exhibited (Recuerdo de la walkiria), organized by Inés Amor, César Moro and Wolfgang Paalen. 1941 Varo and Péret are reunited and move to Mexico. They depart from Marseille on 20 November on board the Serpa Pinto. Along with various other artists and ar- ranged by Varian Fry. They travel via Casablanca and arrive in Mexico in January 1942. 1942 Varo designs costumes for Léonide Massine’s Ballet Aleko, under Marc Chagall. She reencounters Leonora Carrington in Mexico City. 1943 Varo and Péret marry.

The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This article presents an extensive review of the physics of wind-blown sand and dust on Earth and Mars. Specifically, we review the physics of aeolian saltation, the formation and development of sand dunes and ripples, the physics of dust aerosol emission, the weather phenomena that trigger dust storms, and the lifting of dust by dust devils and other small- scale vortices. We also discuss the physics of wind-blown sand and dune formation on Venus and Titan.

  • A Multi-Wavelength Study of Mercury's Polar Anomalies
    52nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 2021 (LPI Contrib. No. 2548) 1508.pdf A MULTI-WAVELENGTHSTUDY OF MERCURY’S POLAR ANOMALIES: NEW DATA FROM ARECIBO INFORMED BY MESSENGER H. Meyer1, E. G. Rivera-Valent´ın2, and N. Chabot1, 1Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, MD ([email protected]), 2Lunar and Planetary Institute, USRA, Houston, TX Introduction: Prior to the arrival of the MESSEN- GER spacecraft at Mercury, repeat observations of Mercury’s polar regions by the Arecibo Observatory (AO) and Goldstone Solar System Radar with the Very Large Array revealed radar-bright features within po- lar craters consistent with ice deposits [e.g., 1-4 and refs therein]. MESSENGER observations, particularly data from Mercury Laser Altimeter (MLA) and Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS), confirmed that these polar anomalies are located in regions of permanent shadow (PSRs) and exhibit surface reflectance values indicative of both exposed surficial ice and lag-deposits of potentially organic-rich volatiles [5-7]. Recent work by [8] further suggests that low- reflectance surfaces associated with PSRs extend Figure 1: A 2 km/pixel k-means map for the north polar re- beyond the strict limits of the PSRs into dimly lit gion of Mercury of S-band radar SC backscatter from [9]. Yel- low indicates the highest k-means class, denoting the strongest regions of polar craters, where complex organic com- backscatter signal, with green and blue denoting the next two pounds can remain stable.

    Landscape History: 1850 to the Present 16:550:552: M-W 2:15 to 3:35 Kathleen John-Alder, FASLA [email protected] Office Hours: Monday 4:00-5:00 and Wednesday 1:00-2:00 1 Course Description: This research seminar engages the historical and theoretical underpinnings of landscape architecture from 1850 to present. Class lectures, readings and discussions relate the history of the profession to concepts of nature, landscape, science, art, and social justice as conceived by the leading protagonists in the field. Representation of ideas, both visually and verbally, is another key concern. The intent of both explorations is not to trace current practice back to a singular source, but to instead indicate how ideas are amended and changed in response to social, scientific and technological change. Questions of interest include the following: How does landscape history relate to issues of resource use and anthropogenic climate disruption? How does it relate to issues of equity, social justice, and pluralism? Can economic growth and equity co-exist with resource conservation and landscape preservation? How does the discourse of past inflect current discourse? Is it possible to envision a post-humanist future in an era of dramatic anthropogenic change? To address these complex issues, weekly lectures and discussions will begin with case studies and, then, move outward to engage broader historical and geographic perspectives that situate these projects within a larger disciplinary discourse. Although emphasis is paid to important design figures and their built work, alternative visions and critiques are also explored. To facilitate the understanding of the wide-ranging issues enumerated above, New York City serves as the course textbook.
