Today, depictions of rural life continue to occupy our visual scroll as cottagecore enthusiasts such as Taylor Swift and David Beckham commercialize the aesthetic movement by sharing images online. Young people continue to leave cities due to improvements in technology and access to remote jobs. William Shakespeare’s pastoral comedy As You Like It, sought to celebrate country life while its characters, who took on elaborate gender reversal roles, suffered the perils of injustice and even death threats. Prior to the Great Recession, Thomas Kinkade sold millions of copies of his idyllic cottage paintings, while the darkness within him did not always reflect the peace and serenity of his artworks. Viewed with rose-tinted glasses and a lack of experience, romanticising about rural life can overlook a past where social norms were marked with aspects of colonialism, racism, and sexism. With heightened awareness, the opportunity to signal our own response creates mystery about what is right in front of us while seemingly being far away and mysterious. deboergallery.com | 3311 E. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90023 | +1 213 293 7495 db For Immediate Release: [email protected] Dan Attoe’s paintings depict natural wonders—waterfalls, beaches, mountains, rocky cliffs, over-sized forests—populated by tiny figures spouting even tinier diaristic missives, painted in silver and culled from the artist's stream of consciousness. The miniature humans disrupt the grandeur of nature with their small stature and utterances. He has had solo exhibitions at Peres Projects, Berlin, DE; Western Projects, Chicago, IL; The Hole, New York, NY, Half Gallery, New York, NY and Vilma Gold, London, UK. Group exhibitions include; Franklin Parrash Gallery, New York, NY; Fredric Snitzer Gallery, Miami, FL; PAC Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea, Milan, IT; APC Musée d'art Contemporain, Bordeaux, FR and Saatchi Gallery, London, UK among others. Zachary Armstrong lives and works in Dayton, Ohio. He works in painting, but also in painted sculpture and other media. Through his works, Armstrong explores a childhood creative Elysium, using children’s drawings, both of his own making, and of his friends as the base for his large-scale encaustic works. Armstrong’s choice of encaustic as the dominant medium also owes a debt to his subject-matter, choosing the imprecise, fuzzy impression of lines fused via layers of wax, melted together over the hard outlines of oil or acrylic paint. Armstrong has exhibited widely in the United States and abroad at venues such as Tilton Gallery, NY; GNYP Gallery, Berlin and Night Gallery, LA. Kirsten Deirup attended The Cooper Union, New York, NY. She has had solo exhibitions at Nichelle Beauchene Gallery, New York, NY; Guild and Greyschul, New York, NY; and Rare, New York, NY.

Claire Milbrath is a self-taught artist working within painting, sewing, and drawing.

Calliope Pavlides is a Greek artist living and working in Los Angeles, CA. Pavlides attended Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI. Her paintings, despite the dark undertones of the subject matter, portray a narrative playfulness with her mark making, brushwork spins, loops, operating in a kind of reckless abandonment to motion.

    NOVUS BIS Hanoi stud ent magazine CULTURE J A N U A R Y 2 0 2 1 Editorial Welcome to the 2nd issue of Novus, BIS’s student-led school magazine. Our objective is to bring you a new perspective on affairs which might have passed you by. In this issue, we invite you to engage with culture. It is indisputable that culture is a fundamental element of human life; it not only enriches life but also creates a connection between people. This fundamental nature relies on inspiration, which then becomes dispersed. Such sequence goes on and on, anytime and anywhere. Thus, it is inevitable that culture is created - unless humans stop thinking. When you define the term ‘culture’, it is likely that you will ponder an Interview with a Julliard Dance image of archaic historical products or traditional arts of a country. specialist However, if it brings people together and becomes a custom, it can be [page 18~22] considered as culture. New cultural affairs have sprung up in contemporary society - one example of this is K-Pop. If you are interested in how it became viral, see K-Pop Culture [page 3~4]. Another term which has developed in the recent COVID-19 era is Cottagecore, an aesthetic which celebrates rural life; see page 13~ 14 which provides a big picture of such Gen-Z subculture. Celebrating all the cultures which were created, it leads to an ultimate question of why culture is important. A key for that reason is provided in Why is culture important? [page 11~12].

    ELLIOTT HUNDLEY WORKING ON PAPER BAIK ART SEOUL Installation of Working On Paper, Baik Art Seoul BAIK ART SEOUL is pleased to present Elliott Hundley’s first solo exhibition in Korea, Working On Paper, ,May 20 - June 19, 2021. Working on Paper is Elliott’s introduction to exhibiting in Asia and will be his first show focusing primarily on drawing works. For Elliott, these works portray a floating state of consciousness. Drawing allows him to recover lost stimuli and discover facts that he had been previously unaware of. These works contain personal stories reflecting the artist’s inner narrative. Drawing so far has been a one-on-one conversation with himself, so this exhibition allows him to take these conversations out into the world. ELLIOTT HUNDLEY Elliott Hundley (b. 1975) received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (1997) and his MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles (2005). He lives and works in Los Angeles.

    Digital Resources for Teaching the Environment, Sustainability, and Ecology in World History

    JOHN MAUNU Digital Resources for Teaching the Environment, Sustainability, and Ecology in World History ncient cave art showed that humans did not regard themselves as the center of the Anatural world. Lascaux cave art showed how animals and the environment were the center of human life. The Neolithic Revolution saw a change over time as to the relationship between humans and the environment. Early Vedic shamans wrote poems on the power of forests and nature; Taoists and the Buddha shared a deep respect for the environment and nature. However, with the Neolithic Revolution, humans began moving from the Lascaux perspective of humans in a secondary role in the environment to viewing nature and the environment as real estate, “territory,” and property to be dominated and exploited; since then most historians wrote about the environment from this human-centered perspective. However, by the mid twentieth century, there evolved among many environmentalists in the United States a model for understanding global environmental history in terms of the interaction between humankind and the environment, which was soon adopted by most world historians. The following digital resources reflect these shifts—these “changes over time”—in the historiography of the global environmental history. This database is divided into sec- tions: Environmental Racism/Justice, Ecofeminism; Queer Ecology; Far Right Environ- mentalism; Global Sustainability and Environment Resources; Teaching Sustainability and Environmental History, with a sub-heading, Teaching the Environment and Collapse of Civilization Resources; Eco-Fiction/Climate Fiction; Environment/Nature in Art and Architecture; Religion and Environment; Digital Resources arranged by global regions, such as the Artic, with sources arranged within regions chronologically using common world historian periodization; and, finally, Environment Journals/Websites.
