Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012, is the culmination of this series. Cast in bronze from a willow that had been struck by lightning, it both captures a moment in time and stands fixed as a profoundly evocative and timeless monument.

  • The Menil Collection Houston, Texas
    The Menil Collection Houston, Texas Kristina Van Dyke Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/afar/article-pdf/40/3/36/1816098/afar.2007.40.3.36.pdf by guest on 28 September 2021 hen asked in 1982 about the collection she and her late husband, John, had formed, Dominique de Menil stated, “What characterizes my collection? Maybe a passionate curiosity for the past and also a vulnerability to poetry … poetry of images revealing the beauty and mystery of the world … W[I] am very moved by … art that … expresses the tragedy of man’s ephemeral condition” (de Menil 1983:50). At the time, Dominique de Menil was working with Renzo Piano on plans for The Menil Collection, the museum that would house the couple’s collection and manifest its poetry (Fig. 1). Thoughtful and meticulous, Dom- inique de Menil labored over every detail of the design and, when construction was complete in 1987, the installation of the collec- tion as well (Fig. 2). Her goals were clear: “I would like my collec- tion to be displayed in such a way that it opens new vistas, that it reveals ‘Terra Incognita’—islands beyond” (ibid.). The Menil Collection, with its 16,000 objects, is but one out- come of this French couple’s vision and philosophy. Intertwining art, social activism, and a profound spirituality, the de Menils left an indelible mark on their adopted city of Houston, both in the campus that houses their museum and related galleries and cha- pels, and in the effect their philanthropic projects had on various institutions in the city.

  • Mark Rothko Paintings, the Menil Collection and the Rothko Chapel, Houston, TX
    ! cablegram art, Dispatches, Houston, painting, Rothko Chapel, The Menil Collection | Dispatches #20 | Mark Rothko Paintings, The Menil Collection and The Rothko Chapel, Houston, TX In art, criticism, Dispatches on 06/09/2011 at 9:35 am I was initially hesitant to write that I was moved by a series of paintings by Mark Rothko, recently installed at The Menil Collection (http://www.menil.org/). While I have certainly encountered art that is touching, disturbing, engulfing, or otherwise impressionable, to have these experiences in front of large abstract paintings by a master of Abstract Expressionism, seems somewhat old fashioned and, well, distressingly earnest. Yet I’d wager my response was completely appropriate, the six paintings I saw were originally created for the Rothko Chapel (http://www.rothkochapel.org/), the ecumenical structure commissioned by Dominique and John de Menil and designed by Philip Johnson. Completed in 1966, Rothko did not include these works in the last selection of 14 paintings that he’d chosen for the chapel prior to his death. The artist killed himself before the building was completed and the works were installed in 1970. The current installation at the Menil was created as a tribute to the Chapel’s 40th anniversary. Each of the over 14-feet-tall canvases features a black rectangle that takes up about two-thirds of the composition and floats on a deep maroon background. At the Menil, they are situated in their own room, which has two parallel entrances to walk through so you see three paintings to your right, each on its own wall, and the same on your left.

  • The Midtown Study Summary
    By 2035, the eight-county Houston-Galveston region is expected to grow by an additional 3.5 million people. The Livable Centers program is a new strategy in H-GAC’s 2035 Regional Transportation Plan to address this growth. The Houston-Galveston Area Council and the City of Houston co-sponsored this Livable Centers Study for the Ensemble/HCC light rail station area in Midtown. Livable Centers are safe, sustainable, mixed-use neighborhoods where people can live, work, and play with less reliance on their cars. Well connected destinations make walking, bicycling, and transit more convenient. Livable Centers create unique, identifi able places, bolster civic pride, and focus resources for economic development. ENSEMBLE/HCC A Vision for a Livable Center Houston-Galveston Area Council CLOSE TO EVERYTHING The Midtown neighborhood’s Ensemble/HCC light rail station is at the heart of Houston’s urban core. The neighborhood is within fi ve miles of Houston’s four major employment centers, arts, entertainment, sports and major convention facilities, fi ve universities and half a dozen graduate institutions. The area is extremely connected with easy access to Downtown, the Texas Wortham Alley Center Theatre Medical Center, the Museum District, Jones Hobby Center Hall the University of Houston, Texas DOWNTOWN Minute Maid Park Southern University, Reliant Center, George R.

Introduction When I concluded my studies on Product Design, I realized that I was much more aware of the space and the environment created through the relation of elements present than just the objects themselves. This interest led me to become very attentive to museum spaces, more specifically to the relation between the space and the artwork and how the space around an artwork influences its observation. I have come to realize that an artwork doesn’t exist without a space around it; an artwork needs a space to live on and to be observed on.

  • Art and Activism Projects of John and Dominique De Menil Wins International Book Award
    Art and Activism Projects of John and Dominique de Menil Wins International Book Award Houston, June 30, 2011 – The jury of the International Art Book and Film Festival of Perpignan, France, has announced that Art and Activism: Projects of John and Dominique de Menil has been selected as 2010’s best book on an art collection. Josef Helfenstein, director of the Menil Collection in Houston and co-editor of the book with Laureen Schipsi, will accept the award at the festival this weekend. From the jury’s statement: “The de Menils moved to Houston, Texas from France, fleeing Nazism. They were friends with the finest artists of their time and built one of the most important collections of the XXth century. This book is the first monograph dedicated to them. It examines the de Menils’ significant contributions to education, the building of the Rothko Chapel, their work with filmmakers such as Jean-Luc Godard, and how they amassed the great collection of art that is now housed in the Menil Collection, the Texas museum designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano. Enriched by personal documents and interviews, Art and Activism: Projects of John and Dominique de Menil brings the reader into the artistic world of the second half of the XXth century, through the couple’s life and passion for art.” The International Art Book and Film Festival of Perpignan (to be held June 30 – July 3), an annual event dedicated to art history and its teaching, carries a different annual theme. This year’s is “Dreaming,” which fits beautifully with the subjects of Art & Activism, who realized many of their dreams on behalf of art and activism.
