These are the reasons why I created AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions in 2014, – so that we could rewrite art history from a more gender-equal perspective. It is high time we place women artists at the same level as their male counterparts by bringing their work into the spotlight.

COURSE PRESENTATION AND OUTCOMES This course has three objectives: 1. Students will be able to identify and understand the main art movements in Paris from 1850 to today, including painting, sculpture, photography, installations, and urbanism. We will give consideration to the historical, economic, and sociocultural contexts of the time period into order to develop a history of “modernity” (in the art historical sense) as Paris defined it, as well as its influence on Western taste. Three points will be emphasized: a. The influence of Parisian architecture and urbanism on modernity. b. The place of female artists in modernity. c. The reception of Parisian modernity. 2. By examining the current presentation “Modernités plurielles” at the Centre Pompidou, we will study how Parisian modernity has been interpreted and translated in other parts of the world.

New develop .m.ents in the arts, Titerature, music, cinema, industrial design, architecture and urbanism will be seen in an international perspective. The realisation of this project was possible only because a single vision animated its instigators . In 1969, Georges Pompidou, then President of France, decided to create a cultural center on the Plateau Beaubourg in Paris, east of the Boulevard Sebastopol (the old central market-place, "les Halles", being on the West) . Its objectives were outlined in the law concerning its creation : "The Georges Pompidou Center of Art and Culture encourages the creation of works of art and of the spirit ; it contributes to the enrichment of the cultural heritage of the Nation, to the information and the education of the public, to the spread of artistic creation and to social communication . It offers advice on request, rarticularly in the architectural realm, to local communities, as well as to any interested public or private orga- nizations associated with it, of a cultural ensemble devoted to all forms of artistic endeavor, especially in the plastic arts, acoustical and musical research, industrial design, the art of the cinema as well as to public readinq".

    FRIS SON: The Collected Criticism of Alice Guillermo Reviewing Current Art | 23 The Social Form of Art | 4 Patrick D. Flores Abstract and/or Figurative: A Wrong Choice | 9 SON: Assessing Alice G. Guillermo a Corpus | 115 Annotating Alice: A Biography from Her Bibliography | 16 Roberto G. Paulino Rendering Culture Political | 161 Timeline | 237 Acknowledgment | 241 Biographies | 242 PCAN | 243 Broadening the Public Sphere of Art | 191 FRISSON The Social Form of Art by Patrick D. Flores The criticism of Alice Guillermo presents an instance in which the encounter of the work of art resists a series of possible alienations even as it profoundly acknowledges the integrity of distinct form. The critic in this situation attentively dwells on the material of this form so that she may be able to explicate the ecology and the sociality without which it cannot concretize. The work of art, therefore, becomes the work of the world, extensively and deeply conceived. Such present-ness is vital as the critic faces the work in the world and tries to ramify that world beyond what is before her. This is one alienation that is calibrated. The work of art transpiring in the world becomes the work of the critic who lets it matter in language, freights it and leavens it with presence so that human potential unerringly turns plastic, or better still, animate: Against the cold stone, tomblike and silent, are the living glances, supplicating, questioning, challenging, or speaking—the eyes quick with feeling or the movements of thought, the mouths delicately shaping speech, the expressive gestures, and the bodies in their postures determined by the conditions of work and social circumstance.
