  • The Seven Deadly Sins
    Contact: Karen Schwarz Bruce Museum (203)413-6735 [email protected] SEVEN MUSEUMS, SEVEN SINS First-time Exhibition Slated for 2015 May 5, 2015—The Seven Deadly Sins, a groundbreaking series of exhibitions with openings through July, will be presented by seven arts institutions, all members of the Fairfield/Westchester Museum Alliance (FWMA), located in Fairfield County, CT, Westchester County, NY, and the New York City borough of the Bronx. The seven cultural institutions are: The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum; Bruce Museum; Hudson River Museum; Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art; Katonah Museum of Art; Neuberger Museum of Art; and, Wave Hill. The Seven Deadly Sins represents the first collaboration among the FWMA museums. FWMA museums formed an alliance in 2009 to share resources to promote cultural life in the region and offer reciprocal benefits to their members. The Seven Deadly Sins, FWMA’s inaugural exhibition, is offered to the public at large; the members of FWMA institutions are admitted free to Seven Deadly Sin exhibitions and programs. Each of the FWMA institutions explores one of the seven deadly sins — a hardcore group of despised actions that for centuries defined what humans must not do to live good lives. The litany of sins is as familiar to us now as to past generations — Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, and Wrath —and, each sin is often contrasted with a contrary virtue: Kindness, Temperance, Charity, Chastity, Humility, and Diligence, whose practice protects us from the ever present temptation to sin. The “Deadly Seven,” the favorite subject of painters and poets over centuries, is woven into the warp and weft of the Western world’s cultural allusions.

  • Fear, Greed, and Financial Crises: a Cognitive Neurosciences Perspective Andrew W
    23 Fear, Greed, and Financial Crises: A Cognitive Neurosciences Perspective Andrew W. Lo Abstract Historical accounts of financial crises suggest that fear and greed are the common denominators of these disruptive events: periods of unchecked greed eventually lead to excessive leverage and unsustainable asset-price levels, and the inevitable collapse results in unbridled fear, which must subside before any recov- ery is possible. The cognitive neurosciences may provide some new insights into this boom/bust pattern through a deeper understanding of the dynamics of emotion and human behavior. In this chapter, I describe some recent research from the neu- rosciences literature on fear and reward learning, mirror neurons, theory of mind, and the link between emotion and rational behavior. By exploring the neuroscien- tific basis of cognition and behavior, we may be able to identify more fundamental drivers of financial crises, and improve our models and methods for dealing with them. 23.1 Introduction In March 1933, unemployment in the United States was at an all-time high. Over 4,000 banks had failed during the previous two months. Bread lines stretched around entire blocks in the largest cities. The country was in the grip of the Great Depression. This was the context in which Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his first inaugural address to the American people as the 32nd president of the United States. He began his address not by discussing economic conditions, nor by laying out his proposal for the “New Deal”, but with a powerful observation that still resonates today: “So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself – nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance”.

  • “Take Hold of Life” March 8, 2020
    “Take Hold of Life” March 8, 2020 2537 Lee Road Cleveland Heights, OH 44118‐4136 1 Timothy 6:17‐19 Telephone: 216‐321‐8880 Rev. Andy Call, Lead Pastor Website: www.COTSumc.org In 2008, greed was on full display with all its glittering attraction and devastating consequences. Some of the names have been indelibly burned into our permanent memories: Bear Stearns, AIG, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. One name you may not remember is that of Jdimytai Damour. On the night of Thanksgiving in 2008, Damour was working as a security guard at Walmart at the Green Acres Mall on Long Island. Overnight, shoppers gathered outside the doors for “Black Friday” sales on toys, DVDs, flat‐panel televisions and other items priced to lure them in for the biggest shopping day of the year. Shortly before 5 a.m., the crowd began to press against the door, jostling to be first in line for the best deals. Damour stood just inside the sliding glass doors, trying to bring order and to hold back the crush of shoppers. Suddenly, the doors shattered and Damour was thrown to the ground. Rather than stopping to help, the crowd continued unabated, rushing into the store and trampling him to death in the process.1 Greed is rampant, from Wall Street to Main Street, among the privileged elite and the poverty stricken poor and everyone in‐between. And its consequences can be catastrophic, both for the body and the soul. Today is the second installment in our sermon series for Lent: Virtues and Vices.

  • Three Poisons: Greed, Anger, Ignorance
    Three Poisons: Greed, Anger, Ignorance I.I.I. I Hear: Hunters in Asia use the following trick to catch monkeys. They put food bait in a coconut which is fixed to a place and has a small enough hole to fit an open hand of a monkey. When a monkey is drawn to the coconut by the smell of the bait, it slides a hand through the hole to grab the bait and gets stuck to the coconut and thus later gets caught. When the hunter approaches, the trapped monkey is extremely fearful but wouldn’t let go its hand of the bait to escape. What keeps the monkey trapped? Nothing except its greed and ignorance. To escape, all the monkey has to do is let go of the bait but its mind is full of greed and ignorance to even see that! First, the monkey is trapped by greed and ignorance to let go; later when the hunter approaches, the monkey is further engulfed in fear and anger and so it is completely out of its mind. Greed, Anger, Ignorance are called the Three Poisons by the Buddha because they will lead to destruction and even death. Overcome by Greed, Anger, and Ignorance, I lose the wisdom and freedom to think, speak, and act. When my greed is not satisfied, I get angry easily. And when my anger arises, my mind is cloudy and full of mean thoughts, my speech is affected and full of unkind words, my actions are wrong and full of hatred. All these upset the peace of my mind and cause me pain and suffering and I in turn will cause pain and suffering to others with my words and actions.

  • Form Vision Hans Theys
    Form Vision Hans Theys Form Vision Artists on Art Tornado Editions 2019 To Tamara Van San In 1983, a fellow student handed me this Banda copy, suggesting it might be interesting for me – as an aficionado of art and literature – to study the writings of Kafka without interpreting them. The origin of the book you are holding now lies within this generous gesture. Thirty years later, when I accidently rediscovered it, I realised that the text quotes a book by Susan Sontag, translated and typewritten by an unknown hand. Everyone has a sort of individual form vision. In all the greatest artists the seeds of this form vision has been present even in their early work, and to some extent their work has been a gradual unfolding of this rhythm throughout. (…) It’s something the artist can’t control – it’s his make up. (…) The less conscious you are of your own individual form rhythm, the more likely it is, I think, to get richer and fuller and develop. Henry Moore, 1941 What is important now is to recover our senses. We must learn to see more, to hear more, to feel more. Our task is not to find the maximum amount of content in a work of art, much less to squeeze more content out of the work than is already there. Our task is to cut back content so that we can see the thing at all. (…) The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.

  • Roy Lichtenstein's Outdoor Painted Sculpture Three Brushstrokes
    1 Roy Lichtenstein’s Outdoor Painted Sculpture Three Brushstrokes (1984): Analysis of Paint Structure and Composition Project Overview In 2005, as part of a large donation of outdoor sculpture from the Ray Stark Revocable Trust, the J. Paul Getty Museum acquired a sculpture by Roy Lichtenstein (American, b. 1923; d.1997) entitled Three Brushstrokes (Fig. 1), which was created in 1984. In compliance with the gift agreement, the painted aluminum construction was quickly installed at the Getty Center leaving little time for in-depth study of the original materials and techniques of creation or its conservation history. It was clear from the beginning that a restoration had occurred in the past and the extant paint colors did not properly represent the original appearance. The materials and techniques of Lichtenstein's indoor painted works, mostly canvas paintings, have been comparatively well studied (Cowart 1992; Cowart 1999; Crook and Learner 2000; Learner 2004), but less attention had been paid to the changing techniques and materials he used for his outdoor works. This gap in knowledge, in combination with the uncertainties surrounding the Getty piece, stimulated a collaborative endeavor between the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI), the J. Paul Getty Museum (JPGM), and the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation that was directed towards establishing a clear understanding of the evolution of the artist’s original fabrication and painting techniques for his outdoor sculpture, with specific focus on Three Brushstrokes. Contributing to that wider endeavor, scientific investigations of the paint on the sculpture were carried out by GCI Science in order to address particular questions Figure 1.
