  • The AI Interview: Tom Otterness NEW YORK, Sept
    file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Katrin.tomotterness/Desktop...fo%20tom%20otterness%20world%20famous%2027%20September%202006.htm NEWS & FEATURES October 02, 2006 Tom Otterness with his work-in- progress "Untitled" (Immigrant Couple), 2006. "See No Evil" (2002) at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Mich. (main entrance) Tom Otterness The AI Interview: Tom Otterness NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2006—According to the New York Times, Tom Otterness “may be the world’s best public sculptor.” Certainly he is one of the most visible. He is the only artist ever to have contributed a balloon to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and his large-scale installations in outdoor public locations—from Indianapolis to New York—are enormously popular. Otterness enjoys the rare ability to engage spectators from all walks of life and all levels of art- world sophistication—because while his imagery is cartoon-like, and often highly appealing to children, his work also tends to carry a political punch. He is particularly scathing in his portrayals of those for whom financial wealth is all important. Pieces such as Free Money (1999) and Big, Big Penny (1993) depict this obsession, and others, like his New York subway installation, Life Underground, beneath ArtInfo’s headquarters, show people actually turning "Free Money" (1999) into money. Tom Otterness His next New York gallery show will be at the Marlborough Gallery's 57th Street location in November 2007. Tom, let me begin by asking you about the response to the sculptures you showed in Grand Rapids, Mich. this summer. They were hugely successful.

We studied convergence in evolutionary rate in subterranean mammals in order to associate phenotypic evolution with specific genetic regions. We identified a strong excess of vision- and skin-related genes that changed at accelerated rates in the subterranean environment due to relaxed constraint and adaptive evolution. We also demonstrate that ocular-specific transcriptional enhancers were convergently accelerated, whereas enhancers active outside the eye were not. Furthermore, several uncharacterized genes and regulatory sequences demonstrated convergence and thus constitute novel candidate sequences for congenital ocular disorders. The strong evidence of convergence in these species indicates that evolution in this environment is recurrent and predictable and can be used to gain insights into phenotype–genotype relationships.

    A Guide to the Clarence Schultz Texas Humor Collection 1995-2003 Collection 101 Descriptive Summary Creator: Schultz, Clarence C. Title: The Clarence Schultz Texas Humor Collection Dates: 1995-2003 Abstract: The Clarence Schultz Texas humor collection is made up of Schultz’s research materials and drafts for his unpublished manuscript, “Texas Laughter: A Chronicle of Sixteen Humorists, 1836-2000.” Also included in the collection are 504 books collected by Schultz on humor in Texas and the Southwest. Identification: Collection 101 Extent: 13 boxes (6 linear feet) Language: Materials are written in English Repository: Southwestern Writers Collection, Special Collections, Alkek Library, Texas State University-San Marcos Biographical Sketch Clarence C. Schultz was born in Temple, Texas on October 31, 1924. He graduated from Temple High School at the age of sixteen and entered a junior college, where he met his future wife, Margie. They were married October 29, 1943. In 1942, at the age of eighteen, Schultz joined the navy and served until 1946. While in the navy, he entered an officer-training program at Southwest University in Georgetown where he earned college credit. After leaving the navy, Schultz spent a final six months in Temple in a management-training program for McClellan stores. He was transferred to Laredo in August of 1946 where he worked for just a few months before being transferred to McClellan, Texas as an assistant-manager in December 1946. He resided in McClellan until September of 1947 when his landlady convinced him to go back to school and complete his college degree. Schultz knew that he wanted to be a teacher, and throughout a 45 year career never lost his dedication or love for teaching.

  • Sculptor Puts Bite Back Into the Big Apple
    Art and Design Sculptor puts bite back into the Big Apple 20 MAR 2015 00:00 CHRIS DU PLESSIS Chris du Plessis contemplates a New York that’s lost its multicultural edginess, but the blandness is lifted by playful artworks. The Big Apple might still be on most people’s bucket list, but those people could still be referencing a romantic view of the city in a bygone era. Intoxicated by the flashy façade, they might have missed that what’s left of Little Italy, for instance – a once essential aspect of the city’s multicultural make-up and stronghold of legendary Mafiosi such as Ignazio “The Wolf” Lupo and Gambino crime boss John Gotti – is the dreary commercialised drag of Mulberry Street. Or that everything that once afforded a hip barrio like Times Square its big-city street cred (the Mickey Rourke lookalikes emerging from the boxing gyms, the pencil-moustached hustlers under low-burning street lights ...) was lost in the oversanitised wake of the Giuliani purge. Hell, you now draw stares usually reserved for potential terrorists when you light up a cigarette in Central Park. What remains is nothing more than a cascade of cops poised to pounce on jaywalking tourists. And a mere whiff of its once thriving creative spirit – the residues of which I thankfully encountered late one afternoon while waiting for the Staten Island ferry. Ambling through Battery Park (so named for the erstwhile military batteries overlooking the Hudson), I was forced to an abrupt halt before Clinton Castle – the former processing facility for newly arrived immigrants from 1855 to 1890 before it was moved to nearby Ellis Island.

Prof. Puthoff contributed and participated in every way to support environmental events, art shows and students' rights including offering transportation for my The Idea Puzzle Cube, recognizing my ability to lead as the Sculpture ​ ​ Instructional Support Technician, nominating me for the SUNY Chancellor’s Award, and protecting me from racists off-campus. One of the best lessons I learned from her was our first win- the sculpture, Multi-Species Commons for Pollinators at the ​ ​ Sculpture Jam competition at Sculpture Space in Utica. She used her eco-artworks and the immense knowledge of public arts as examples to guide me through the development of my thesis work. Prof. Asbill always sees my good sides and encourages me to raise up my value to the maximum. He helped pull me out of my hard times and never gave up on me. He connected me with many specialists and organizations to assist and support my thesis works, mental health, and future employment. I am always inspired by his thoughtful comments, valuable ideas, humor and criticisms on my works.

During that time I had made an entirely new life in Albu- Fquerque, New Mexico, as a teacher, father of two, inter- mittent husband, and perennial community activist. But in a short few months, two seemingly unrelated events came together to make me change my mind and begin speaking in public about my role in Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Weather Underground—things that happened to me when I was a kid. First, in March 2003, the United States attacked Iraq, beginning a bloody, long, and futile war of conquest. What I saw, despite some significant differences, was Vietnam all over again.
