  • ANTHONY GOICOLEA B
    GOW LANGSFORD GALLERY ANTHONY GOICOLEA b. 1971, Cuba. Lives in New York, USA Although largely based in photography, Anthony Goicolea’s practice also includes drawing and video. Goi- colea gained international recognition in the late 1990s for his unsettling technique of arranging, within a single frame, photographic clones of himself in various poses. He has exhibited extensively in Europe and America, regularly in New Zealand since 2002, and in Asia. High- lights of his career include two recent solo exhibitions at La Galerie Particuliere in Paris (2013), the 2006 Cin- tas Fellowship, the 2005 BMW Photo Paris Award, as well as The Bronx Museum “Artist in the Market Place” program (1998), and the 1997 Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant. Goicolea’s art is held in numerous significant public collections, including MoMA; The Guggenheim Museum of Art, New York; The Brooklyn Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago; and the Centro Galego De Arte Contemporanea, in Santiago De Compostela, Spain. Goicolea graduated from the Pratt Institute of Art with an MFA in sculpture and photography in 1996, and from The University of Georgia with a BFA in 1994 and BA in 1992, both with magna cum laude. Anthony Goicolea is a Cuban American artist based in New York. Gow Langsford Gallery has represented Goicolea since 2000.

The original idea for the gift has remained, but the location has been changed. “The concept of a 24-hour lounge has not changed,” said Director of the Senior Gift, Cathy Anderson. “Instead of being on the main fl oor of the library, the lounge will now be located on the lower level.” Steering Committee member senior Jeff Allen said the new location will face the north lawn, which overlooks East 38th Street. The location change was nec- essary due to issues with the location of sanitary pipes, said Anderson. Shortly after deciding upon the original location of the lounge, Mercyhurst College administra- tors found that the sanitary pipes needed to create a restroom were located on the east side of the building, not the west side, as proposed in the original plan.

    BRUTALISM / GUADALAJARA / EILEEN MYLES / ARTIST RESIDENCIES / AMERICAN GRAFFITI FALL 2017 CONTEMPORARY ARTS, PERFORMANCE, AND THOUGHT YAYOI KUSAMA All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins (2016) On view at the Dallas Museum of Art beginning October 1. WHITE RUSSIAN Pour vodka and coffee liqueur (two to one) over plentiful ice. Add a splash of butterscotch schnapps (trust us), top with heavy cream. Take 'er easy, Dude. FALL 2017 Brute Force FEW ARCHITECTURAL STYLES have been as misunderstood and even despised as Brutalism. Often incorporating concrete in bold monolithic designs, the style came into vogue during the turbulent 1960s and 1970s—a physical manifestation of institutional strength and order amid the chaos of the era. Indeed, many Brutalist buildings were constructed as governmental housing, libraries, offices, and schools, which may be why several of them were used as locations for films with dystopic, futuristic themes. By the 1980s, the stark edginess of Brutalism seemed out of place amid the glitz and glitter of the “greed is good” decade. Over-the-top, ornamental postmodernism became the architectural darling of the day, and many Brutalist relics were maligned as ugly, imposing, and austere. Recently, the style has started to be re-evaluated by scholars, architects, and the public, just as many of the finest examples of Brutalism have been threatened with demolition. Other Brutalist icons have been restored and are appreciated anew for their sculptural elegance. BY LYNNE ROSTOCHIL PYRAMID SCHEME In the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination, Dallas mayor Erik Jonsson sought to combat the “City of Hate” moniker the city had acquired.
