These are the basic tenets with which to enter the world of Christian Marclay’s djTRIO, especially in the case of their live recordings. World-renowned multi-media artist Marclay may be best known these days for his globally embraced film collage piece “The Clock,” but he began by redefining the roles of “musician,” “DJ,” and even “artist” itself. Since the late ‘70s, Marclay has created art by masterfully mistreating both vinyl and phonographic equipment, using them both in a manner more consistent with the way an abstract sculptor employs raw materials in the service of a larger vision. Sometimes these sonic journeys utilizing a turntable as a sextant have been in-the-moment experiences and sometimes they’ve been captured for posterity, but 21 September 2002 on Cuneiform Records happens to be both.

  • Martin Puryear's Bearing Witness Is a Colossal Sculpture of Hammer
    A RT WOR K BEARING WITNESs A RTI S T MARTIN PURYEAr PURYEAR I NSTAL L ED 1997 RONALD REAGAN BUILDING AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE CENTER WASHINGTON, D.C. Martin Puryear’s Bearing Witness is a colossal sculpture of hammer-formed and welded bronze. While its taut surfaces and hull-like forms may recall those of a boat (indeed it was fabricated at a precision shipbuilding facility), the sculpture’s familiar-yet-enigmatic shapes allow viewers to create their own associations. Puryear has said: “In my work, I aim for a point where organic form—or forms which suggest nature and organic processes—can coexist with forms which are clearly cultural.” He also intends this artwork to be perceived as a handcrafted object, despite its immense size and need to withstand the climatic conditions of its exterior location. Puryear allows the weld-marks and other idiosyncratic details of its fabrication to be seen, much as he does in his smaller-scale artworks that are made of wood. The sculpture’s poetic title similarly invites multiple interpretations. Puryear often selects titles that are, in his words, “provocative and open up possible ways for people to look at the work and think about the work rather than close it down.” Bearing Witness suggests an observer, perhaps even the collective consciousness of the public. The location of Bearing Witness affects its meaning, as well. The sculpture stands in the grand, semicircular courtyard in front of the Reagan Building’s Woodrow Wilson Center. Viewed from certain angles, the rounded shape at the top of Bearing Witness forms a concentric arc with the curving façade of the building.

The Ceramic Presence in Modern Art features more than 80 carefully selected objects from the Schlenger collection by leading 20th-century artists who have engaged clay as an expressive medium—including Robert Arneson, Hans Coper, Ruth Duckworth, John Mason, Kenneth Price, Lucie Rie, and Peter Voulkos—alongside a broad array of artworks created in clay and other media from the Yale University Art Gallery’s perma- nent collection. Although critically lauded within the studio-craft movement, many ceramic pieces by artists who have continuously or periodically worked in clay are only now coming to be recognized as important John Mason, X-Pot, 1958.

    Massachusetts college of a rt and d esign a nnual r eport J uly 2010–June 2011 Big things are happening here. You can see it in the numbers — undergraduate enrollment up almost 5 percent; the $140 million comprehensive campaign at 89 percent of its goal. You can hear it across campus — the rattle of construction equipment working on the site of the new 21-story residence hall. You can feel it in the air — a palpable energy sparked by local and global community engagement. ¶ The 2010 academic year was anything but ordinary. It was a year when we applauded the achievements of an extraordinary leader, and anticipated the arrival of a new one. And when we celebrated the ingenuity of our faculty, students, and alumni, who continued to expand the boundaries of creativity. ¶ iii Flourish: Alumni Works on Paper The artwork you see throughout these pages appeared in Flourish: i Alumni Works on Paper, hall residence new MassArt’s first juried alumni exhibition held last June in the Bakalar & Paine Galleries. ii The exhibition highlights the wide range of talent and excellence embodied by MassArt’s inners w artists and designers. president, dawn barrett dawn president, th ard aw eadership l lumni lumni our 11 a Leah De Prizio bfa painting ’63 Arbor Vitae, papier-mâché woodblock print, acrylic, 58" x 24" x 15", 2005.

Blurring fact and fiction, art and science, truth and near-truth, the artist turns the gallery into an immersive installation exploring a not-so-distant future in which China and the United States are in the midst of a political Cold War, echoed externally by an atmospheric antagonism rendered by climate change that has turned China and the U.S. into the hot and cold centers of the world. Kong’s visual exploration of his own scientific and journalistic research uses climate change as a lens into contemporary geopolitics, neo-nationalism, human migration, human rights, and censorship, Mo Kong, Seeking The Common Ground, 2019.

The grid marks coordinates, not countries; this is a type of mark- making that allows us to locate ourselves beyond national and temporal boundaries, but also allows our movement and migration to be tracked in turn via GPS.

Februar 2019 Ausstellungsinformation Raumplan Wand 3 Wand 7 Wand 2 Wand 6 Wand 5 Wand 4 Wand 2 Wand 1 ARTIST WORKS for 33 1/3 and 45 rpm (revolutions per minute) Komposition René Pulfer Der Basler Künstler René Pulfer, einer der Pioniere der Schweizer Videokunst und Hochschulprofessor an der HGK Basel /FHNW bis 2015, hat sich seit den späten 1970 Jahren auch intensiv mit Sound Art, Kunst im Kontext von Musik (Covers, Booklets, Artist Editions in Mu- sic) interessiert und exemplarische Arbeiten von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern gesammelt. Die Ausstellung konzentriert sich auf Covers und Objekte, bei denen das künstlerische Bild in Form von Zeichnung, Malerei oder Fotografie im Vordergrund steht. Durch die eigenständige Präsenz der Bildwerke treten die üblichen Angaben zur musikalischen und künstlerischen Autorschaft in den Hintergrund. Die Sammlung umfasst historische und aktuelle Beispiele aus einem Zeitraum von über 50 Jahren mit geschichtlich unterschiedlich gewachsenen Kooperationsformen zwischen Kunst und Musik bis zu aktuellen Formen der Multimedialität mit fliessenden Grenzen, so wie bei Rodney Graham mit der offenen Fragestellung: „Am I a musician trapped in an artist's mind or an artist trapped in a musician's body?" ARTIST WORKS for 33 1/3 and 45 rpm (revolutions per minute) Composition René Pulfer The Basel-based artist René Pulfer, one of the pioneers of Swiss video- art and a university professor at the HGK Basel / FHNW until 2015, has been intensively involved with sound art in the context of music since the late 1970s (covers, booklets, artist editions in music ) and coll- ected exemplary works by artists.

Engaging our eyes and our minds, the works of art in the exhibition and in these pages challenge us to think about the unique stories they tell about the lives and culture of African Americans and ponder the issues they raise. They also show how these artists responded to and helped to shape the changing definitions and boundaries of art over the last two centuries. It is our hope that these materials spark rich conversations in your classrooms and beyond. The works of art in this resource relate to key subject areas, intersect- ing with significant moments in American history, including the Civil War, Emancipation, World Wars I and II, the Harlem Renaissance, and the civil rights movement. They also share strong connections with language arts, linking to themes and ideas in literature and poetry. The artworks invite thought-provoking discussions and written response, encouraging students’ literacy and critical thinking skills.
