  • Russian Pianist Olga Kern Opens $2 Million Public Piano Exhibit in Vancouver with Unveiling of $240,000 Steinway “Arabesque”
    RUSSIAN PIANIST OLGA KERN OPENS $2 MILLION PUBLIC PIANO EXHIBIT IN VANCOUVER WITH UNVEILING OF $240,000 STEINWAY “ARABESQUE” VANCOUVER, BC (April 30, 2014) – Award-winning Russian pianist Olga Kern opened a twelve-day public exhibit of custom designed pianos at Tom Lee Music today with the unveiling of Steinway & Sons’ new Limited Edition “Arabesque” piano, a $240,000 grand piano designed by renowned American furniture designer and artist Dakota Jackson to celebrate Steinway’s 160th anniversary. Widely recognized as one of the world’s great pianists, Ms. Kern celebrated the unveiling of the Arabesque by playing the Arabesque by Swiss composer Charles Samuel Bovy-Lysberg (1821-1873). Later this evening, she will perform works by Schumann, Alkan, Chopin and Rachmaninoff at a Vancouver Playhouse Recital presented by The Vancouver Chopin Society. The Arabesque unveiled today, one of only 50 worldwide and the only one in Canada, is the first piano to win the 2014 Red Dot Design Award for product design from the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen, one of the oldest and most highly reputed design institutions in Europe. A jury of international experts evaluated 4,815 product entries from around the world before awarding the coveted Red Dot designations. Made of polished black ebony, the Arabesque is one of 11 custom designed pianos worth $2 million that will be on display through to Sunday, May 11th. Jackson, a former dancer, designed the piano to reflect the channeled energy, perfect balance, and beauty of the Arabesque ballet pose in which the dancer's limbs are extended and held. He gave the Arabesque the impression of fluidity and movement through pentagonal legs, a gracefully curved prop stick, and a double row of silver bands in the rim.

  • Tyrian Purple: Its Evolution and Reinterpretation As Social Status Symbol During the Roman Empire in the West
    Tyrian Purple: Its Evolution and Reinterpretation as Social Status Symbol during the Roman Empire in the West Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Graduate Program in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies Ann Olga Koloski-Ostrow and Andrew J. Koh, Advisors In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies by Mary Pons May 2016 Acknowledgments This paper truly would not have come to be without the inspiration provided by Professor Andrew Koh’s Art and Chemistry class. The curriculum for that class opened my mind to a new paradigmatic shift in my thinking, encouraging me to embrace the possibility of reinterpreting the archaeological record and the stories it contains through the lens of quantifiable scientific data. I know that I would never have had the courage to finish this project if it were not for the support of my advisor Professor Ann Olga Koloski-Ostrow, who never rejected my ideas as outlandish and stayed with me as I wrote and rewrote draft after draft to meet her high standards of editorial excellence. I also owe a debt of gratitude to my parents, Gary and Debbie Pons, who provided the emotional support I needed to get through my bouts of insecurity. When everything I seemed to put on the page never seemed good enough or clear enough to explain my thought process, they often reminded me to relax, sleep, walk away from it for a while, and try again another day.

  • Chromophobia, Or Chromatophobia, Is an Irrational Fear of Certain Colors
    Chromophobia, Or Chromatophobia, Is An Irrational Fear Of Certain Colors National Color Day focuses on the affect color has on each of us. The observance takes place each year on October 22. Color is powerful. It can affect a mood, draw attention, even cause alarm. Different colors are perceived to mean different things. The following is one rendition of the perceived meaning of the various colors in the United States. Red: Excitement – Love – Strength Yellow: Competence – Happiness Green: Good Taste – Envy – Relaxation Blue: Corporate – High Quality Pink: Sophistication – Sincerity Violet/Purple: Authority – Power Brown: Ruggedness Black: Grief – Fear White: Happiness – Purity. You’re more likely to forget something when it’s in black and white. Psychologists have found a number of connections between color and memory. As it turns out, people have more trouble remembering facts presented in black and white than they do facts presented in color. There’s a reason you never see yellow in an airplane. A number of studies have shown that the color yellow can cause dizziness and nausea. For this reason, it’s often used sparingly (or very strategically) by those in advertising, and is almost never used in the interiors of various forms of transportation — most notably, airplanes. It’s possible to be afraid of certain colors. Chromophobia, or Chromatophobia, refers to an irrational fear of or aversion to certain colors. Blue is the world’s favorite color. Studies done around the world reveal that a whopping 40% of people consider blue to be their favorite color. Second place goes to purple, though that received only 14%, and last place goes to black.

  • Der Blaue Reiter, Walter Benjamin and the Emancipation of Color
    Chromophilia: Der Blaue Reiter, Walter Benjamin and the Emancipation of Color Dr. Martin Jay Sidney Hellman Ehrman Professor of History at the University of California, Berkeley Prepared for the 2011 Yale University Forum on Art, War and Science in the 20th Century Hosted by The Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park May 19-23rd 2011 on Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada “Indelible from the resistance to the fungible world of barter is the resistance of the eye that does not want the colors of the world to fade.” Theodor W. Adorno1 In 2003, the Wilhelm Hack Museum in the city of Ludwigshafen am Rhein mounted an exhibition entitled “Der Blaue Reiter: Die Befreiung der Farbe.”2 In what follows, I want to focus on the provocative subtitle of that show and ask the question, what did the “emancipation of color” mean for the Blaue Reiter, in particular for its most prominent figure, Wassily Kandinsky? The other artists associated with the movement, such as Robert Delauney, Franz Marc, August Macke, Alexander Jawlensky and Paul Klee, were also remarkable chromatic innovators, but Kandinsky was the most articulate spokesman of their more or less common position.3 The language of “emancipation” is , in fact, one he explicitly adopted.4 To help us clarify the stakes of his argument, I will also be examining the fragmentary, posthumously published thoughts on color by a German critic who was himself fascinated by the Blaue Reiter, Walter Benjamin, which have recently been subjected to sustained analysis by Howard Caygill and Heinz Brüggemann.5 In any history of early 20th-century visual modernism, the experiments in color performed by avant-garde communities of artists, such as the Nabis and Fauves in France and Die Brücke in Germany, are routinely foregrounded.

  • Testing and Evaluation in the Biological Sciences
    REPORT OF THE PANEL ON EVALUATION AND TESTING NOVEMBER 1967/CUEBS Publication 20 TESTING AND EVALUATION IN THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES COMMISSION ON UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION IN THE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES This book is a wonderful resource but had only a limited distribution back around 1967. Thanks to GWU for permission to put it in digital form so that it can be shared widely. It is still under copyright, so please read the permission letter. Biology has changed quite a bit since 1967, so many of the example questions are dated and this book doesn’t serve as a simple question bank. Yet the questions can be very useful as exemplars of questions pointed at different topics and at different cognitive levels. Since you have the digital version, it is fairly easy to copy/paste them and then update/modify as you find appropriate and useful. While I did a lot of proofreading, I’m sure I’ve missed many details, so the scanned pages in jpg format are also available. Feel free to check them if anything puzzling is found. To me, the question bank emphasizes the value of the earlier discussion in the book about assessment and evaluation methods. While most of the items given are multiple choice questions, there is also presentation and discussion about essay and matching questions. Each question, of all types, has an associated cognitive level (using Bloom’s Taxonomy). This significantly assists the instructor in assessing the progress of the students, and there is also discussion of evaluating the validity of the questions. For courses in other areas than Biology, this book can also be valuable.

  • Would Colour by Any Other Name Shine As Bright? in the Light of David Batchelor’S Books on Colour: “Chromophobia” (2000), and “The Luminous and the Grey” (2014)
    Would Colour by any other Name Shine as Bright? In the light of David Batchelor’s books on colour: “Chromophobia” (2000), and “The Luminous and the Grey” (2014) “It is, I believe, no exaggeration to say that, in the West, since Antiquity, colour has been systematically marginalized, reviled, diminished and degraded.”i So begins David Batchelor’s monumental reboot of how we think, write and experience colour today. As Batchelor puts it, “This loathing of colour, this fear of corruption through colour, needs a name: chromophobia.”ii Chromophobia first published in 2000, since republished in eight languages, has given the word global idiomatic status. It has acquired general usage in the artworld as well as spilling over into online dictionaries where it carries a sense of medical gravitas, suggesting a new type of psychological condition, the fear of colour, akin to other phobias such as the fear of crowds or heights. Batchelor diagnoses original symptoms of an apartheid of colour in the ancient Greeks who were the first to make a loaded differentiation between colour and its other. Aristotle had argued against colour saying that the “repository of thought in art is line, the rest is ornament.” iii Ever since colour has been understood as superficial, an ephemeral occurrence on the surface of things, whereas linearity and subdued colour is deemed permanent, structural and meaningful. Chromophobia came as a surprise to artists, cultural theorists and scientists since it spoke so stridently without aligning itself to any particular school of thought. It was decidedly non-academic and non-specialist whilst resting on a profound knowledge of the relevant scientific and aesthetic positions.
