Whether a neon sign, a photo- graph of a part of his body or a brightly beaded curtain depicting a landscape, his work makes one stop and think while giving something visually stunning to look at. Kori Newkirk: 1997–2007 presents work produced after Newkirk received his MFA from the University of California at Irvine through today. Newkirk is a celebrated multimedia artist whose practice is based on transforming every- day materials into loaded signifiers and making viewers think not only about concepts of African-American culture and beauty, but also of new and ever- changing ways of making art. This exhibition illuminates how the varied but interrelated strands of Newkirk’s practice have converged and developed over time. Newkirk, who was born in the Bronx, raised in Cortland, New York, and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, creates work informed by his whole life and experience. This exhibition is designed and installed to create a dialogue between the disparate aspects of Newkirk’s practice. It allows for an understanding of his larger projects through informed juxtaposition of various bodies of work. Kori Newkirk: 1997–2007 is initiated and sponsored by the Fellows of Contemporary Art. This exhibition is also made possible, with major support from Altria Group, Inc. and The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation. 1Peter Goddard, “Beads Speak of Suburban Dreams and Delusions,” Toronto Star, January 29, 2005. 01 sm018_10_05_07.indd 2-3 10/6/07 1:37:10 PM 5 Studio / Fall•Winter 2007 FPO sm018_10_05_07.indd 4-5 10/6/07 1:37:11 PM 7 Studio / Fall•Winter 2007 Previous Page/ 02/Kori Newkirk 04/ Kori Newkirk Kori Newkirk Closely Guarded Par Catalo∂ue Excerpt Take What You Can 2000-01 2004 2002 Collection of Lois Plehn Courtesy The Project, Courtesy The Project, Courtesy The Project, New York Kori Newkirk: 1997—2007 New York New York 01/Kori Newkirk 03/ Kori Newkirk Channel 11 Testing the Wind (detail) 1999 2004 Collection of Barry Sloane, Courtesy The Project, Los Angeles New York Courtesy The Project, New York BOOK COVER tis nos nos accummodit vullutpat velent aliquatis eummodo leniat, quatue feuisit nit amconsecte min exercil iquisit, quis aut aute digna augait dio od tem ipsum ipsummy nulla feuis autat nonsectem vendreetue feugiatie magna feugiam, veliscipsum incil del dit ilismod min ullaor irilluptat.

  • Langston Hughes
    Classic Poetry Series Langston Hughes - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: PoemHunter.Com - The World's Poetry Archive Langston Hughes (February 1, 1902 – May 22, 1967) an American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist. He was one of the earliest innovators of the then-new literary art form jazz poetry. Hughes is best known for his work during the Harlem Renaissance. He famously wrote about the period that "Harlem was in vogue." Biography Ancestry and Childhood Both of Hughes' paternal and maternal great-grandmothers were African-American, his maternal great-grandfather was white and of Scottish descent. A paternal great-grandfather was of European Jewish descent. Hughes's maternal grandmother Mary Patterson was of African-American, French, English and Native American descent. One of the first women to attend Oberlin College, she first married Lewis Sheridan Leary, also of mixed race. Lewis Sheridan Leary subsequently joined John Brown's Raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859 and died from his wounds. In 1869 the widow Mary Patterson Leary married again, into the elite, politically active Langston family. Her second husband was Charles Henry Langston, of African American, Native American, and Euro-American ancestry. He and his younger brother John Mercer Langston worked for the abolitionist cause and helped lead the Ohio Anti-Slavery Society in 1858. Charles Langston later moved to Kansas, where he was active as an educator and activist for voting and rights for African Americans. Charles and Mary's daughter Caroline was the mother of Langston Hughes. Langston Hughes was born in Joplin, Missouri, the second child of school teacher Carrie (Caroline) Mercer Langston and James Nathaniel Hughes (1871–1934).

  • IMAGINATION, INQUIRY, & VOICE a Deweyan Approach to Education In
    AMANDA N. GULLA, HOLLY FAIRBANK, & STEPHEN M. NOONAN IMAGINATION, INQUIRY, & VOICE A Deweyan Approach to Education in a 21st Century Urban high School Figure 1. MGHS student ARTE Spring Mural. 2018. Retrieved from: https://www.mghs.nyc/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=1111369&type=d&pREC_ID=14063 71 Abstract: We describe the ways in which the teachers and administrators at The Maxine Greene High School for Imaginative Inquiry (MGHS), an urban public high school named for the philosopher Maxine Greene, are working to embody Greene’s and Dewey’s notion of imagination in the context of a practice called “imaginative inquiry.” Greene considered the role of the imagination in education as a call to action, for once one can imagine a better world, one is compelled to act. Following on and extending Dewey’s work, she defined her philosophy of aesthetic education as signifying “an initiation into new ways of seeing, hearing, feeling, moving…the nurture of a special kind of reflectiveness and expressiveness, a reaching out for meanings, a learning to learn" (p. 7). Imaginative inquiry, the vehicle for enacting an aesthetic education curriculum, is a practice that is fueled by curiosity by which the imagination interacts with the world to bring about multiple possible meanings and ways of understanding. We reflect upon the process by which we are currently working in collaboration with the teachers at MGHS to make the work of imaginative inquiry accessible to all students, and to provide resources to support the work of imaginative inquiry and aesthetic education in high schools.

  • East Harlem, Manhattan (September 2016)
    PLACE-BASED COMMUNITY BROWNFIELD PLANNING FOUNDATION REPORT ON EXISTING CONDITIONS EAST HARLEM, MANHATTAN FINAL SEPTEMBER 2016 BILL deBLASIO MAYOR DANIEL C. WALSH, Ph.D. DIRECTOR Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation This document was prepared by the New York City Department of City Planning for the New York City Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation and the New York State Department of State with state funds provided through the Brownfield Opportunity Areas Program. CONTENTS PURPOSE 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 5 PART ONE Geography and Land Use 10 Demographic and Economic Profile 28 Recent Public Initiatives and Private Investments 35 PART TWO Environmental Conditions 41 Potential Strategic Sites 43 KEY FINDINGS AND NEXT STEPS 57 APPENDIX 58 PURPOSE This existing conditions foundation report was commissioned by the New York City Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) to help community members and community-based organizations (CBO’s) conduct place-based planning for revitalization of vacant and underutilized brownfield properties. Place- based planning by community groups is supported by OER under the NYC Place-Based Community Brownfield Planning Program and by the New York State Department of State in the Brownfield Opportunity Area Program. To advance implementation of plans, OER provides financial and technical assistance to CBO’s for cleanup and redevelopment of brownfield properties and seeks to help people foster greater health and well-being in their neighborhoods. Brownfields are vacant or underutilized properties where environmental pollution has deterred investment and redevelopment. Pollution introduces many risks to land development and often causes community and private developers to pass over these properties, especially in low-income neighborhoods where land values may be depressed and insufficient to cover added cleanup costs.

  • The Union College Chronicle
    The Chronicle Encyclopedia of Cloud Divination by Saya Woolfalk “Embody,” the Mandeville Gallery’s fall exhibit, features 10 contemporary artists of diaspora who use collage-making concepts and methods to construct identity through a wide range of representations of the body. “These figures embody resistance, defying and challenging a one-dimensional reading of who the figure might be or what they represent,” says Julie Lohnes, director and curator of Art Collections and Exhibitions. The show runs through Jan. 19. There will be a reception in the Nott Memorial with a performance by exhibiting artist aricoco Tuesday, Sept. 24, 5-6:30 p.m. In addition, Simonette Quamina will give an artist talk on Tuesday, Oct. 8, 5- 6:30 p.m., also at the Nott. Both events are free and open to the public. Born and raised in Tokyo, aricoco (Ari Tabei) lives in New York City. She creates collages with fabric and assorted embellishments to construct garments she dons for performance art that explores the non-hierarchical system of social insects. She has been awarded numerous residencies and fellowships, including a New York Foundation for the Arts Artist’s Fellowship in interdisciplinary work. Quamina is a native of Canada who grew up in South America, the Caribbean and New York City. She weaves her diverse background into the narratives of her large-scale drawings, prints and collages. Her work is exhibited and collected nationally and internationally, and she has received numerous residencies and fellowships.
