  • A Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System
    Under the Big Apple: a Retrospective of Preservation Practice and the New York City Subway System by Emma Marie Waterloo This thesis/dissertation document has been electronically approved by the following individuals: Tomlan,Michael Andrew (Chairperson) Chusid,Jeffrey M. (Minor Member) UNDER THE BIG APPLE: A RETROSPECTIVE OF PRESERVATION PRACTICE AND THE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SYSTEM A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Emma Marie Waterloo August 2010 © 2010 Emma Marie Waterloo ABSTRACT The New York City Subway system is one of the most iconic, most extensive, and most influential train networks in America. In operation for over 100 years, this engineering marvel dictated development patterns in upper Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. The interior station designs of the different lines chronicle the changing architectural fashion of the aboveground world from the turn of the century through the 1940s. Many prominent architects have designed the stations over the years, including the earliest stations by Heins and LaFarge. However, the conversation about preservation surrounding the historic resource has only begun in earnest in the past twenty years. It is the system’s very heritage that creates its preservation controversies. After World War II, the rapid transit system suffered from several decades of neglect and deferred maintenance as ridership fell and violent crime rose. At the height of the subway’s degradation in 1979, the decision to celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the opening of the subway with a local landmark designation was unusual.

  • Rose Art Museum's Sam Hunter Emerging Artists Fund Committee
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Nina J. Berger, [email protected] 617.543.1595 High-resolution images available on request ROSE ART MUSEUM’S SAM HUNTER EMERGING ARTISTS FUND COMMITTEE SELECTS TWO WORKS BY B. INGRID OLSON TO ENTER THE COLLECTION (Waltham, MA) –The Rose Art Museum has announced that work by B. Ingrid Olson has been selected for acquisition by the Sam Hunter Emerging Artists Acquisition Fund Committee. Inspired by the legacy of the Rose’s founding director, Sam Hunter, the fund is generated annually and administered by a committee that aims to collect the work of promising artists on the cusp of recognition. Two works by Chicago-based Olson–Arched fold, bent of another movement, 2017 and Firing distance, scission, 2017–have been acquired for the Rose Art Museum’s collection. Straddling sculpture and photography, Olson’s work plays fascinating games with perception and vision. Olson was recently featured in a two-person exhibition at The Renaissance Society in Chicago, and her first solo museum show will open at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in March 2018. Her work will also be included in Being: New Photography 2018, at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (March 2018) and in a group show at the MCA Chicago, Picture Fiction: Kenneth Josephson and Contemporary Photography (April 28– December 30, 2018). “Ingrid is an extraordinary photographer, pushing the bounds of the medium while engaging with pressing issues of gender identity and representation,” say Leslie Aronzon, a member of this year’s committee. “Her work fits in well with the Rose collection, and we are so excited to add her impressive and fresh works to our permanent collection.” Joining Aronzon on this year’s committee are Kim Allen-Niesen, Steven Bunson, Tory Fair, Betsy Pfau, and Lisa Wyett.

  • The Museum of Modern Art
    The Museum of Modern Art 50th Anniversary NO. 73 *o FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FIELDS OF BLUE: NAN HOOVER'S VIDEO INSTALLATION ON VIEW AT MoMA FIELDS OF BLUE, a three monitor video installation by Nan Hoover in which the artist studies "light as a source of illusion", will be on view in The Museum of Modern Art's Auditorium Gallery begin- ing January 3, 1980 and running through January 29. FIELDS OF BLUE is the 31st program in The Museum's ongoing PROJECTS: VIDEO series directed by Barbara London. In FIELDS OF BLUE, three television monitors play back pre­ recorded images of the artist's figure as it moves into and out of the focal range of a stationary video camera, sometimes disappear­ ing and then reappearing again across the three monitors. "As the subject of her own work — Nan Hoover works completely alone in an austere environment using rudimentary equipment (video (more) NO. 73 NAN HOOVER, PROJECTS: VIDEO -2- camera, recorder and lights) — she moves slowly, carefully con­ trolling the visual composition of the images being videotaped, creating subtle nuances of forms," explains Barbara London. "In 1973 she turned from painting to performance and video, and began to explore new ways of handling light, composition and movement. Video enables her to maintain ultimate control over both her image­ ry and her equipment." Nan Hoover was born in 1931 in New York City and studied art at the Corcoran Gallery School on Washington, D.C. In 1969 she moved to Amsterdam and since that time has shown her work inter­ nationally, most recently at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and in West Germany at the Museum Folkwang, Essen, and the Koelnischer Kunstverein in Cologne.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by IssueLab Building a Continent: The Museum of Modern Art and the Politics of Circulating Images Patricio del Real Ph.D. Candidate Columbia University New York, New York 10027 © 2010 by Patricio del Real [email protected] I visited the Rockefeller Archive Center (RAC) to do research on three general areas pertaining to my dissertation on modern Latin American architecture in the 1950s, a project I am developing in the Architecture History and Theory Program in the Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation at Columbia University. An important case study in my examination of modern Latin American architecture and its representation is the exhibition Latin American Architecture since 1945, held in New York in 1955 at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). My hypothesis is that modern architecture provided a new spatial conception for the imagined community called "Latin America;" that it constructed Latin America through iconographic images of paradigmatic architectural projects in a dynamic exchange between actual buildings and their representation, and that in assembling this transnational territory it wove aesthetic forms onto development policies and Cold War politics. My goal was to study several archival collections at the RAC in order to unravel the relationship between representation, politics, and aesthetics. My first questions revolved around the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) grant to the International Program of MoMA. Second, were the exchanges between Nelson A. Rockefeller (NAR) and MoMA personnel regarding the Latin American architecture show, and third, the activities of NAR as Special Assistant to President Eisenhower with respect to post-war policies in relation to Latin America.

    COVID’s $34 billion bite out of the Big Apple Some 70,000 people have left the NYC area since COVID began. Nowhere is the pain of that emigration felt more profoundly than in once busy, growing neighborhoods and points of interest the pandemic has made quiet and declining. The hype is real. Just nine months into what we can measure about COVID-19 migration from big cities, the data is clear. People are emigrating from urban neighborhoods through- out the United States and the economic impacts both real and forecasted are staggering. Billions of dollars are changing address and New York City is a prime point of departure. In this post, we use our Emerging Areas dataset and the Retail Impact Scoreboard to examine the effects of COVID-19 related migration on the Williamsburg, Astoria and Tribeca neighborhoods of New York. Beyond foot traffic and social distancing, the data tells a story of neighborhoods with a booming past now on a slow downwards trend, with significant consequences for local commerce and real estate markets. UNACAST.COM 01 In this post, we examine the impact of COVID-19 For our discussion, COVID Emigration will be defined related migration on three neighborhoods in New as outward migration from a given neighborhood York City: Williamsburg in Brooklyn, Astoria in Queens, that occurred between February 1 2020 and and Tribeca in Lower Manhattan. Our objectives are December 7 2020. COVID Immigration will be defined to quantify the number of people that have moved as inward migration to the same neighborhood in from or to each neighborhood, and measure the the same period.
