  • The State of Art Criticism
    Page 1 The State of Art Criticism Art criticism is spurned by universities, but widely produced and read. It is seldom theorized, and its history has hardly been investigated. The State of Art Criticism presents an international conversation among art historians and critics that considers the relation between criticism and art history, and poses the question of whether criticism may become a university subject. Participants include Dave Hickey, James Panero, Stephen Melville, Lynne Cook, Michael Newman, Whitney Davis, Irit Rogoff, Guy Brett, and Boris Groys. James Elkins is E.C. Chadbourne Chair in the Department of Art History, Theory, and Criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His many books include Pictures and Tears, How to Use Your Eyes, and What Painting Is, all published by Routledge. Michael Newman teaches in the Department of Art History, Theory, and Criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and is Professor of Art Writing at Goldsmiths College in the University of London. His publications include the books Richard Prince: Untitled (couple) and Jeff Wall, and he is co-editor with Jon Bird of Rewriting Conceptual Art. 08:52:27:10:07 Page 1 Page 2 The Art Seminar Volume 1 Art History versus Aesthetics Volume 2 Photography Theory Volume 3 Is Art History Global?

  • Realizing the Benefits of Hudson River Park the Promise of Hudson River Park
    ing the Be ealiz nef ts R of Hudson River Park This report was prepared by Regional Plan Association for Friends of Hudson River Park Photo: Hudson River Park Trust 2 | Realizing the Benefits of Hudson River Park The Promise of Hudson River Park By the 1980s, Manhattan’s Hudson River waterfront was largely a troubled landscape of barbed wire and decaying warehouses. Faced with sharp declines in maritime commerce, New Yorkers were given an opportunity to reimagine the city’s post-industrial waterfront. Through the efforts of the West Side Task Force (1986), the West Side Waterfront Panel (1990), the Hudson River Park Conservancy (1992), and a historic agreement between New York City and New York State (1998), New Yorkers committed to establishing a new waterfront park on the Hudson River. Today, at around seventy percent complete, Hudson River Park offers visitors iconic parkland, boat launches, sports facilities, and greenways. The park provides our region with a major public amenity and anchors the growing neighborhoods of Manhattan’s Far West Side. Though the park sustains its operations and maintenance costs through rents, concessions, grants, and donations, the park’s capital funding comes almost entirely from government appropriations – a source of funding that declined considerably following the Great Recession. Building off a previous 2008 study, The Impact of Hudson River Park on Property Values, this report shows that the critical investments made to build and sustain Hudson River Park have already generated significant dividends for New York City and New York State – beyond simply increasing property values – and helped to transform the entire Far West Side of Manhattan.

MODERNISM ON TRIAL: AN ANALYSIS OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION DEBATES IN CHICAGO Stephen M. Mitchell 119 Pages May 2014 This thesis explores preservation issues regarding modernist architecture in Chicago. As urban and public history research, the project examines the new questions brought to the forefront by recent controversies over the preservation of modernist architecture. Modernism, and an “all concrete” variant known as “Brutalism,” popular in the mid-twentieth century, aimed to remove ornament and historical references common in neoclassical, neo-Gothic, Beaux Arts, and Art Deco architecture and replace them with minimal, clean, glass-and-steel buildings. Modernists who, on principle, did not believe in preservation of past forms are now in the unlikely position of making such an argument for their own buildings. Never widely embraced in the first place, Brutalism’s concrete façades seemed less and less to reflect aesthetic tastes as architects turned back toward historicist styles by the 1980s.

    Architecture [Criticism] or Revolution Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Architectural Studies in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gregory Lee Delaney, B.S. Graduate Program in Architectural Studies The Ohio State University 2010 Thesis Committee: Ashley Schafer, Advisor Jeffrey Kipnis Douglas Graf Copyright by Gregory Lee Delaney 2010 Abstract Architecture [Criticism] or Revolution is an exploration in journalistic architecture criticism. The current state of journalistic architecture criticism is uninspiring. There are two few of voices, and its field of influence is too narrow. The first article details the current position of journalistic architecture criticism. It accounts its history, its voices, its influence, and its future. The second two articles are explorations in writing on architecture for the people of Columbus, Ohio. They are meant for a non-professional audience, and begin to explore ways of educating the public on issues of contemporary architecture, and calls upon them to demand better design for our city. ii Vita 2000 to 2004………………………………..

  • Hudson River Park Case Study.Indd
    Hudson River Park Jordan Bell David Tomlinson Above: Boardwalk; from Hudson River Park .org Photo Left: people using the park from DPD study Hudson River Park is largest park in manhattan to be built since Central Park was built in mid 19th century. The park consists of a fi ve mile long strip covering 550 acres running up the western side of manhattan from the northern end of Battery Park City at the south end to 59th street at the northern end. The park includes renovation of over a dozen derelict piers, the creation of a bikeway, and a pedestrian promenade. A mix of pubic functions are incorporated into the design such as ball fi elds and large recreational lawns as well as interspersed commercial space. After the west side Highway was closed in 1972 the space has been in need of revitalization and local neighborhoods have been advocating for a new roadway and parks. The park planning process really got underway starting in the early 90’s with plans for a bike and pedestrian path. PAGE # 1 NEW YORK CITY HUDSON RIVER PARK “This is the Central Park of the 21st Century... an innovative design that preserves the ecology of the Hudson and creates a world class venue from which to experience all the New York waterfront has to offer” -Governor Pataki Planning approach Early planning for the project began in early nineties with the formation of the Hudson River Park Conservancy in 1992. Through the 90’s the Conservancy worked to construct new bike and pedestrian connections and started a public planning process that created a concept and fi nancial plan.
