Collection of the artist (cat. 68) Foreword and Acknowledgments In 1963, an aspiring artist and art student at Rutgers University made her first prints. Nearly five decades later, she has become a nationally recognized artist, a 2007 MacArthur Fellow, and the creator of an admirable body of work, and those early prints, along with many others, have returned to Rutgers. The Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers is proud to present Dancing with the Dark: Joan Snyder Prints 1963-2010, the first monograph and comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the prints of this celebrated artist. While there have been a number of exhibitions and catalogues about her paintings, Snyder’s prints are less well known. This project surveys the extraordinary range of her graphic achievement and her significant contributions to American printmaking. A pioneering feminist artist since the late 1960s, Snyder infuses her works with physical energy and vibrant color to powerfully explore aspects of nature and humanity and to express deeply personal experiences. Some of her prints boldly address the use of language in art and celebrate nature and sexuality, while others are meditations on mortality and mourn those who have died of AIDS and other causes. The seventy prints featured in Dancing with the Dark reveal Snyder’s adventurous, sometimes unorthodox, approach to printmaking. The visual eloquence and vigorously applied techniques in her prints invite engagement with raw emo- tional power. In fact, the book’s and exhibition’s title, Dancing with the Dark, drawn from the title of one of Snyder’s woodcuts, alludes to both her exploration of life’s darker experiences in much of her imagery and her use of dark pigments in numerous prints. Snyder’s links to Rutgers University and the Zimmerli Art Museum are many. She was born in New Jersey, graduated from Douglass College, and holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Rutgers. She has long championed women’s rights and women’s role in the arts, an area of study pioneered at Rutgers. Until the 1970s, Rutgers’ Douglass College, then among the largest women’s colleges in the United States, had no women on its art faculty, and thus no readily available role models for its students. To rectify this situation, Snyder proposed founding the Women Artists Series—an initiative that was met with enthusiastic Fig. 1 Oasis, 2006.

The series, offering exhibitions four-color screenprint and hand-applied of emerging and established artists, was launched at the library in 1971, with Snyder as its Prismacolor; [image] 45.7 x 50.5 cm first curator.

  • THE MARY H. DANA WOMEN ARTISTS SERIES: from Idea to Institution
    4 THE JOURNAL OF THE THE MARY H. DANA WOMEN ARTISTS SERIES: From Idea to Institution BY BERYL K. SMITH Ms. Smith is Librarian at the Rutgers University Art Library During the 1960s, women began to identify and admit that social, political, and cultural inequities existed, and to seek redress. In 1966, a structural solidarity took shape with the founding of NOW (National Organization for Women). Women artists, sympathetic to the aims of this movement, recog- nized the need for a coalition with a more specific direction, and, at the height of the women's movement, several groups were formed that uniquely focused on issues of concern to women artists. In 1969 W.A.R. (Women Artists in Revolution) grew out of the Art Worker's Coalition, an anti- establishment group. In 1970 the Ad Hoc Women Artists Committee was formed, initially to increase the representation of women in the Whitney Museum annuals but later a more broad-based purpose of political and legal action and a program of regular discussions was adopted. Across the country, women artists were organizing in consciousness-raising sessions, joining hands in support groups, and picketing and protesting for the relief of injustices that they felt were rampant in the male-dominated art world. In January 1971, Linda Nochlin answered the question she posed in her now famous and widely cited article, "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" Nochlin maintained that the exclusion of women from social and cultural institutions was the root cause that created a kind of cultural malnourishment of women.1 In June 1971, a new unity led the Los Angeles Council of Women Artists to threaten to sue the Los Angeles County Museum for discrimination.2 That same year, at Cal Arts (California In- stitute of the Arts) Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro developed the first women's art program in the nation.3 These bicoastal activities illustrate merely the high points of the women's art movement, forming an historical framework and providing the emotional climate for the beginning of the Women Artists Series at Douglass College.

Leshnoff, Advisor Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN MUSEUM PROFESSIONS Seton Hall University December 2008 Abstract As American society becomes more diverse, issues of ethnic self· consciousness are increasingly prevalent. This can be witnessed by the national expansion and development of ethnic museums. At least twenty-five museums representing different ethnicities are located in New York City alone. These museums reach out to their own constituency as a celebration of heritage and culture. In an effort to educate others and foster a greater understanding and appreciation of their culture, they also reach out to a diverse multi-cultural audience. Following suit, Jewish museums attract a diverse audience representing a variety of religions and ethnicities. Jewish Museums - A Multi-Cultural Destination explores how this audience is reached through exhibition and education initiatives.

  • 1 Expanding the Impact of Ecolabels: Leveraging Standards to Propose Sustainable Practices for Paper Products Without Certificat
    Andrea A. Bassetti Expanding Ecolabel Impact Spring 2019 Expanding the Impact of Ecolabels: Leveraging Standards to Propose Sustainable Practices for Paper Products Without Certifications Andrea A. Bassetti ABSTRACT An ecolabel is a voluntary certification that can be put on a product’s packaging to indicate that it has fulfilled certain requirements to be more environmentally, socially, and fiscally sustainable. Due to a lack of standardization and trust from stakeholders and consumers, certifying bodies have focused on creating certifications that will sell, covering only a few common products that are used across multiple industries. I investigate whether information from existing certifications and Environmental Preferable Policies (EPP) can be used to expand the range of products covered by ecolabels. Using certified paper products as a test case, I explore the possibility of making practice suggestions for products that are similar in nature but have no certifications available. Out of a total of 79 paper products, only 12 are covered by certifications. I isolated one product at a time and used the other 11 products to make practice predictions. The result showed high levels of precision, with an average of 96% correct suggested practices over total suggested practices. The accuracy levels were lower, with an average of 59% correct suggested practices over the total available practices. The precision levels show that the suggestions were correct, and therefore we can use information across products as long as they are similar in nature. The accuracy level showed that the method can be improved to be more comprehensive of the practices. These results show that there is potential to increase product coverage, therefore improving environmental practices across the market.

All rights reserved. ALFRED’S POINT OF VIEW Dear Industry Professional: The global paper and packaging industry is in a state of transition as it considers how to survive and thrive in this age of digital media and paperless technology. As the world population approaches 10 billion people, the rising middle class in emerging econ- omies consumes more and more hygiene products, and demand for consumer goods accelerates at an incredible pace – requiring appropriate packaging. Although this situation may sound like great news, many analysts expect paper consumption to grow at an annual rate less than 1%.1 This kind of growth can’t really provide relief to current markets, which are characterized by overcapacity and price erosion. But even this marginal growth is distributed unevenly across the globe and subsegments within the paper industry. The loss of business volume to digital media in segments like newsprint or advertising causes a severe decline in those areas. Additionally, mature markets, such as Europe and North America, show little to no growth, even for hygiene products, while global trends like Along the entire value increasing environmental regulation and volatile energy and transportation cost are shaking the chain, suppliers, paper market. producers, and packaging The consequences for the industry are dramatic. Proven business models and business plans converters will use digital based on enormous capital investments in plants and assets are collapsing.
