Barely edited, a characteristic Nauman tape from the late '60s shows the artist laconically following some absurd set of directions for an extended amount of time within the vague purview of a video camera mounted at a seemingly random angle in relation to the action. Slow Angle Walk is a classic of the genre, reflecting the artist's interest in Irish playwright Samuel Beckett, whose characters announce, "Let's go!" while the stage directions read, "No one moves."

  • Architecture of Downtown Des Moines: Some Highlights from the Twentieth Century and Beyond
    Paula Mohr is an architectural historian and directs the certified local government program in Iowa. She is a graduate of the Cooperstown Museum Studies program and the architectural history program at the University of Virginia. Paula is the local co-chair for FORUM 2018. Architecture of Downtown Des Moines: Some Highlights from the Twentieth Century and Beyond By Paula Mohr In its 170-some years, the evolution of Des Moines’ commercial core has paral- leled that of many American cities. Fort Des Moines, an early foothold in terms of Euro-American settlement, today survives only as an archaeological site. Early commercial buildings of wood frame on both the east and west sides of the Des Moines River were replaced with brick later in the nineteenth century. At the turn of the twentieth century another wave of development introduced tall buildings or skyscrapers. In the midst of all this change, we can see the impact of external forces, including architectural ideas from Chicago, the City Beautiful Movement and the contributions of nationally and internationally renowned architects. The “book” on Des Moines’ architecture is still being written. As a result of this constant renewal and rebuild- Youngerman Block (1876), also by Foster, features ing, only a handful of nineteenth century buildings a façade of “Abestine Stone,” a nineteenth-century survive in Des Moines’ downtown.

  • Bruce Nauman
    BRUCE NAUMAN “The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths.” -Bruce Nauman Biography BRUCE NAUMAN Video > Make Me Think Me Nauman studied mathematics and physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and art with William T. Wiley and Robert Arneson at the University of California in Davis. He worked as an assistant to Wayne Thiebaud and in 1966 he became a teacher at the San Francisco Art Institute. In 1968 he met the singer and performance artist Meredith Monk and signed with the dealer Leo Castelli. In the 1980s he moved to New Mexico. Much of his work is characterised by an interest in language which often manifests itself in a playful, mischievous manner. For example, the neon Run From Fear- Fun From Rear, or the photograph Bound To Fail which literalises the title phrase and shows the artist's arms tied behind his back. There are however, very serious concerns at the heart of the work. Nauman seems to be interested in the nature of communication and the inherent problems of language, as well as the role of the artist as supposed communicator and manipulator of visual language. In 1999 he received the Golden Lion of the Venice Biennale. In 2004 he created his work Raw Materials at Tate Modern. Nauman cites Samuel Beckett, Ludwig Wittgenstein, John Cage, Philip Glass, La Monte Young and Meredith Monk as major influences on his work.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Barbara T. Smith the 21St Century Odyssey April 13
    805 Traction Avenue Los Angeles CA 90013 213.625.1747 www.theboxla.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Barbara T. Smith The 21st Century Odyssey April 13 – May 25, 2019 Opening Reception: Saturday April 13, 6PM – 8PM Screenings: Saturday, April 20 & Saturday, May 18 Panel with the artist: Saturday, May 11 For The Box’s fifth solo exhibition of Barbara T. Smith’s work, the focus will be on The 21st Century Odyssey, a two year-long durational performance that took place from September 26, 1991 to September 26, 1993. These dates correlate with the opening and the closing of Biosphere 2, located near Tucson, Arizona, where her partner at the time, Dr. Roy Walford, was the interred physician. Smith took on the role of Homer’s Odysseus and traveled the world while Walford, confined inside the Biosphere 2 facility along with 7 other “Biospherians” for 2 years, was Penelope. For Smith, this work was an endeavor to attain a global consciousness while maintaining the connection between Biosphere 1 (the earth) and Biosphere 2. “I was holding Bio 2 in my heart and connecting, of course, with Roy as a vehicle of that connection.” As part of this work, Smith traveled extensively internationally and domestically and considered every aspect of her life in this two year period, from the exotic to the banal, as part of the performance. In Homer’s The Odyssey, Odysseus struggles for ten years to get home to Ithaca after his battles in the Trojan War. Between 1992 and 1993, Smith traveled to India, Nepal, Thailand, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, and Norway; within the U.S., she went to Northern California, Hawaii and Seattle.

    Crown Point Press Newsletter June 2012 The waterfall on Ponape, clockwise from front: Dorothy Wiley, Marina Abramovic, Joan Jonas, Daniel Buren, Chris Burden, and Mary Corse, 1980. Tom Marioni had named the conference “Word of Mouth” VISION #4. Twelve artists each gave a twelve-minute talk. Since LP records lasted twenty-four minutes, he had specified twelve-minute talks so we could put two on a side. Later we presented three records in a box. The records are white—“because it felt like we were landing from a flying saucer when we got off the plane in Ponape,” Tom remembers. The plane circled over what looked like a green dot in a blue sea, and we landed abruptly on a short white runway made of crushed coral with a great green rocky cliff at one end and the sea at the other. Against the cliff was a new low building. Shirtless workers in jeans hustled our bags from the plane into a big square hole in the building’s side, visibly pushing them onto a moving carousel. A man in a grass skirt and an inspector’s cap hustled us inside to claim them. The airport building was full of people, many in grass skirts, some (men and women) topless.

Massaquoi's Hamburg Heike Paul I. Introduction In this essay, I will address two writers or, more specifically, two books which at first glance seem to compete with each other for the oddest, the most unlikely constellation of characters and settings and the most unusual forms of cultural contact. I am referring here to Jeannette Lander's debut novel, published in 1971, Ein Sommer in der Woche der Itke K, and Hans J. Massaquoi's book of memoirs, published in 1999, Destined to Witness: Growing Up Black in Nazi Germany (published in German under the title Neger, Neger, Schornsteinfeger). In the case of Massaquoi, many reviews appearing in the American and German press after its release reiterated the sheer surprise and astonishment that such a case, that of a black German boy growing up in Nazi Germany, even existed and commented on the text as a documentation of this 'rare specimen', this 'unique figure' which Massaquoi seems to present in his first person narrative.1 In the case of Lander, the 'oddity' of her young female Jewish ' The following sample of references captures this general tone with its rhetoric of 'uniqueness.'

Showcasing work by these artists in a single exhibition aims to, ultimately, question how we each perceive history and geography. Art enables dialogue and the Venice Biennale has proven to be the best arena for cultural exchange." explains curator Dina Nasser-Khadivi.
