If we were to leave it alone at this point of itself, our eyes aging would no longer be able to see it.

    Fluorescent Architecture

    Fluorescent Architecture The architecture of supermarkets. The history of fluorescent light- ing. The art of Dan Flavin (Figure 1). Given the fundamental differences between these three topics, it is not surprising that when examined inde- pendently they tell distinct stories about post-WWII America. However, given their obvious intersection, when studied together they reveal important historical relationships between aesthetics, architecture, and suburbia. These relationships revolve around a sensibility shared by Minimalist art, suburban building typologies, and the technologies of DAVID SALOMON Ithaca College everyday life; a sensibility that is best described as the banal spectacle. We tend to think of sensibilities and styles as either superficial or as the result of other cultural forces. They are what covers up or comes after the important stuff. This paper reverses this sequence and hierarchy. In examining these three interre- lated phenomenon this essay asks: What is to be gained by starting with sensibility and aesthetics when generating and analyzing architectural artifacts? Can they be robust techniques for producing desirable social effects, especially in suburbia? 1 This paper will use these questions to examine the interrelated histories of suburbia, the supermarket, the fluorescent light and the work of Dan Flavin. In doing so it will argue for the architectural efficacy of employing aesthetic practices and products to better understand, engage and fulfill its social and environmental responsibilities.

Her conservative parents acquiesced to art lessons but drew the line at higher education for women. At 20, she married Schuyler Livingston Parsons, a man of wealth and social standing.

Her friends included expatriate Americans Hart Crane, Man Ray, Alexander Calder, and Gerald and Sara Murphy, as well as lesbian literati Gertrude Stein, Natalie Barney and Janet Flanner. Disinherited after her divorce, Parsons also lost her alimony support when the stock market crashed. Generous girlhood friends aided her return to the U.S. in 1933, first to Hollywood, where her acquaintances numbered Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Tallulah Bankhead, Dorothy Parker and Robert Benchley. She then lived in Santa Barbara, teaching art, painting portraits and consulting on French wines at a liquor store. In 1935, she funded a move to New York by selling her engagement ring.

Ross Center for Tapestry Studies Arizona State Museum, University of Arizona, Tucson [email protected] Historically, European tapestry making involved collaboration among artists, designers, draftsmen, cartoon makers, spinners, dyers, weavers, patrons, dealers, and other professionals. This specialized system of labor continued in modified form into the twentieth century in certain European and American weaving workshops. In contrast and with a small number of exceptions, American tapestry in the last half of the twentieth century has centered on weaver-artists working individually in their studios from their own designs. This paper focuses, in a very preliminary way, on one exceptional example of continuity, or revival, of the European specialized labor system—the creation of a group of twentieth century tapestries orchestrated by editeur Gloria F.

    EDISON's Warriors

    EDISON’S WaRRIORS Christoph Cox Real security can only be attained in the long run through confusion. — Hilton Howell Railey, commander of the Army Experimental Station1 Simulantur quae non sunt. Quae sunt vero dissimulantur. — Motto of the 23rd Special Troops2 In “The Invisible Generation,” an experimental text from 1962, William S. Burroughs unveiled a proposal to unleash urban mayhem via the use of portable tape recorders. “Now consider the harm that can be done and has been done when recording and playback is expertly carried out in such a way that the people affected do not know what is happening,” he wrote. “Bands of irresponsible youths with tape recorders playing back traffic sounds that confuse motorists,” Burroughs gleefully imagined, could incite “riots and demonstrations to order.”3 Championing the productive (and destructive) powers of portable audio, “The Invisible Generation” is an emblematic text in the history of sound art and DJ culture. Yet, nearly 20 years earlier, Burroughs’s vision had already been conceived and deployed by none other than the United States Army, whose “ghost army,” the 23rd Special Troops, included several units dedicated to “sonic deception” and its results: enemy confusion and carnage.4 The first division in American Armed Forces history assigned exclusively to camouflage and deception, the 23rd was a military oddity. Despite the centrality of deception in the history of warfare from the Trojan Horse on, soldiers drilled in the West Point code of duty, honor, trust, and integrity were ill-suited to a life of simulation and dissimulation; and American officers tended to dismiss deceptive tactics as underhanded, a sign of weakness in every sense.5 It’s not surprising, then, that the 23rd consisted primarily of a population with an occupational predisposition to deception, invention, and fabrication: artists.

    GALERIE THADDAEUS ROPAC MONUMENTAL MINIMAL CARL ANDRE, DAN FLAVIN, DONALD JUDD, SOL LEWITT, ROBERT MANGOLD, ROBERT MORRIS PARIS PANTIN 02 Jan 2019 - 27 Apr 2019 Opening: Wednesday 17 October 2018, 6 - 9pm Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac presents in its Pantin space a group exhibition dedicated to American Minimal art. Featuring over 20 major sculptures and paintings by Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold and Robert Morris, Monumental Minimal addresses the many questions raised by the main protagonists of this artistic revolution. Started in New York in the 1960s as a reaction to Abstract Expressionism, Minimal art is characterised by a formal radicalism that breaks the traditional codes of sculpture. Seriality and the emphasis put on the concept, as well as the use of industrial materials, constitute the common base from which different individual practices stemmed. The works presented have been selected to interact with the architecture of the space. Whether placed on the wall, in a corner, or directly on the floor, the sculptures dialogue with one another and with the structural elements of the gallery in Pantin. The volumes of the former industrial building, together with its zenithal lighting, contribute to emphasising the primary structures of the works, in particular their form, colour and material. One of the main characteristics of Minimal art is to re-define the viewer's relationship with the artwork through exhibition display. Indeed, the very status of the work is radically changed, as demonstrated by Donald Judd's Stacks, consisting of several identical elements mounted on a wall. The artist considers this series of work as neither paintings nor sculptures, but rather as "Specific objects", in accordance with the term he coined in his 1965 manifesto.
