Along its lifetime, our network has managed to involve all different levels of political and cultural organizations: from associations to city administrations, from national governments to cultural institutions, from young artists to the world of art critics, from the media to ju- venile movements. In these years BJCEM has highlighted the new creativity, has developed a widespread network of public and private bodies on international level, has carried out— thanks to the collaboration of all the members and the extensive involvement of eleven big cities—a program of biennial events and artistic exchanges of great dimensions. The Biennial has succeeded in joining together contemporary artistic research with social engagement, integrating its events with moments of political and cultural reflection through- out the Mediterranean countries. In times of complicated international situations, it has man- aged to keep alive a constant dialogue of peace and collaboration in one of the most intri- cate areas of the world which is incessantly traversed by violent conflicts. Personally, I know the Biennial very well; I was the director of the 1997 edition in Turin and I have participated, with many other cultural operators, in the creation of this project since 1984. Therefore I have had the occasion to live intensely and follow the evolution of the project in all its different aspects and its complex phases. At the beginning we were just few partners joining this adventure, but already in the original design the strength, the in- novation and the energy of the Biennial were evident.

  • Education Kit Years 7-12 the Writing’S on the Wall - a Short History of Street Art
    Education Kit Years 7-12 The Writing’s on the Wall - A Short History of Street Art The word graffiti comes from the Italian language and means to inscribe. In European art graffiti dates back at least 17,000 years to wall paintings such as are found in the caves of Lascaux in Southern France. The paintings at Lascaux depict animals from the Paleolithic period that were of cultural importance to the people of that region. They are also believed to be spiritual in nature relating to visions experienced during ritualistic trance-dancing. Australian indigenous rock art dates back even further to about 65,000 years and like the paintings at Lascaux, Australian indigenous rock art is spiritual in nature and relates to ceremonies and the Dreaming. The history of contemporary graffiti/street art dates back about 40 years to the 1960s but it also depicts images of cultural importance to people of a particular region, the inner city, and their rituals and lifestyles. The 1960s were a time of enormous social unrest with authority challenged at every opportunity. It is no wonder graffiti, with its strong social and political agendas, hit the streets, walls, pavements, overpasses and subways of the world with such passion. The city of New York in the 1970s was awash with graffiti. It seemed to cover every surface. When travelling the subway it was often impossible to see out of the carriage for the graffiti.

  • The “Work” of Simeon Ten Holt's Canto Ostinato Through the Van Veen
    The “Work” of Simeon ten Holt’s Canto Ostinato through the Van Veen Recordings Stacey Low ORCID: 0000-0003-4287-9044 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music (Musicology/Ethnomusicology) September 2020 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music Faculty of Fine Arts and Music University of Melbourne Abstract Canto Ostinato for keyboard instruments (1973-79) is the best-known piece of Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt (1923-2012). The first work of his final compositional period, it advocates indeterminacy in performance, leaving performers to decide on dynamics, articulation, pedalling, instrumentation, and the number of repetitions of most of its 106 sections. Canto Ostinato’s aleatoric nature is investigated in relation to the traditional connotations of a “work,” as highlighted by Lydia Goehr. Georgina Born’s notion of a “provisional” type of work and Peter Elsdon’s classification of a work as the total of its realisations are posited as alternative definitions. An examination of Canto as a “work” would be incomplete without an analysis of the piece’s relationships to its composer, period of conception, performers, realisations, and audiences, and the relationships and contradictions between these aspects. This thesis investigates Canto in relation to several of its precedents in experimental music, such as improvisational music, minimalism, and indeterminacy. Several of ten Holt’s stated beliefs are investigated in relation to the score of Canto, such as the spiritual importance he accorded to the concept of tonality; the special interaction between the performers; the idea of each work developing on its own; and the notion of an “ideal performance” of an indeterminate piece.

    ASIA ARTS AWARDS HONG KONG AUCTION TO BENEFIT ASIA SOCIETY THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 2017 1. Xu Bing (b. 1955, Chongqing, China; lives and works in Beijing and New York) Phoenix, 2015 Digital print on paper 15 3/4 x 18 3/4 in. (40.1 x 47.7 cm) Artist Proof 1 of 8 Courtesy of the artist Suggested value: US$1,500.00 Xu Bing is a conceptual artist whose work draws on the creative use of language, words, and text. This is a print of an original drawing of Xu’s large-scale installation of the same name made from construction debris and light-emitting diodes. Phoenixes are traditionally associated with rebirth and Xu’s interpretation may be seen as a reflection on urbanization. The artist received a BFA in printmaking in 1981 and an MFA in 1987 from the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), Beijing. A recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship in 1999, Xu’s artworks have been exhibited worldwide, including at the 56th and 45th Venice Biennales (2015, 1993); Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Washington, D.C. (2013, 2001); the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (2013); The Museum of Modern Art, New York (2007); The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2006); the Biennale of Sydney (2002); and Johannesburg Biennale (1997), among others. The artist served as the Vice President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, from 2008 to 2014, and is currently a professor and member of the Academic Committee at CAFA.
