  • Kirtland Park, Ward 13
    City of Cleveland Indoor artwork in hallways, Public Auditorium CALL FOR ARTISTS Request for Qualifications (RFQ) SPRING 2021 The City of Cleveland is requesting qualifications from artists who may be interested in producing two- dimensional artworks at one or more of six locations in ramped hallways between two floor levels at Public Auditorium, 500 Lakeside Avenue East. The horseshoe-shaped Public Auditorium, which seats up to 10,000, opened in 1922. The 3,000-seat Music Hall and 600-seat Little Theater were added to the south (St. Clair Avenue) end of the auditorium building in 1928, and, at the same time, a new main lobby and terrace for the auditorium were added at the north (Lakeside Avenue) end. One central stage serves both Public Auditorium and the Music Hall. Three artworks will be located in each of the ramped hallways that connect two of the auditorium’s lobbies—the “red lobby” on the entrance level and the “blue lobby” on the upper level. The hallways are each close to 200 feet long, with two rounded 90-degree bends and one switchback each. The artworks will be installed on the curved walls at the 90-degree bends and on the flat walls at the switchbacks. The artworks are a component of a project that will involve making improvements to the hallways so that they will visually complement, but not visually compete with, the ornate lobbies, from which four of the artwork locations are clearly visible. (The switchback locations are visible only from within the hallways.) The other improvements will include repainting the hallways in welcoming colors consonant with the building’s history and aesthetics and upgrading the light fixtures to the high standard set throughout the public areas of the auditorium building.

  • The Basic Issue of This Study, As It Should Be for All Historical Research
    Excerpt • Temple University Press Introduction he basic issue of this study, as it should be for all historical research and analysis, is how do we confront the past? And since war espe- Tcially invites the construction of a mythic past, the writing of history becomes an attempt to correct our collective memory. In the case of the Great War of 1914–1918, remembrance has often taken the form of heritage and celebration rather than more profound learning and understanding. But we do not want to rehash the platitudes of “conventional wisdom.” Among the many aspects of a conflict that engulfed much of the world, for the United States, it involved coming to terms with the great diversity within the popu- lation as its military forces went off to fight on foreign battlefields. It sent men into combat against the military forces of the lands their families had only recently left but that had become enemy nations. It asked other men to become allies of friendlier states from which they had departed, sometimes with uncertain plans about whether they ever intended to return. How this affected the mobilization of troops for the combat that lay ahead remains to be fully told. But it left a legacy that persisted in national policy and popular culture, even after the war had ended. In the years after the Great War, performers on the theatrical stages of America would celebrate the victory of the United States and the Allies over the Central Powers. Drawing on a vast repertoire of musical selections that re- flected various aspects of the ended but still intrusive war, audiences could hear a catchy song called “When Tony Goes over the Top,” whose words intoned: 2 | INTRODUCTION Excerpt • Temple University Press Hey! You know Tony the Barber Who shaves and cuts-a the hair He said skabooch, to his Mariooch He’s gonna fight “Over There” Hey! You know how Tony could shave you He’d cut you from ear to ear .

  • New York's Mulberry Street and the Redefinition of the Italian
    FRUNZA, BOGDANA SIMINA., M.S. Streetscape and Ethnicity: New York’s Mulberry Street and the Redefinition of the Italian American Ethnic Identity. (2008) Directed by Prof. Jo R. Leimenstoll. 161 pp. The current research looked at ways in which the built environment of an ethnic enclave contributes to the definition and redefinition of the ethnic identity of its inhabitants. Assuming a dynamic component of the built environment, the study advanced the idea of the streetscape as an active agent of change in the definition and redefinition of ethnic identity. Throughout a century of existence, Little Italy – New York’s most prominent Italian enclave – changed its demographics, appearance and significance; these changes resonated with changes in the ethnic identity of its inhabitants. From its beginnings at the end of the nineteenth century until the present, Little Italy’s Mulberry Street has maintained its privileged status as the core of the enclave, but changed its symbolic role radically. Over three generations of Italian immigrants, Mulberry Street changed its role from a space of trade to a space of leisure, from a place of providing to a place of consuming, and from a social arena to a tourist tract. The photographic analysis employed in this study revealed that changes in the streetscape of Mulberry Street connected with changes in the ethnic identity of its inhabitants, from regional Southern Italian to Italian American. Moreover, the photographic evidence demonstrates the active role of the street in the permanent redefinition of

One need only amble through the gates on Fisgard Street in Victoria or in Gastown in Vancouver to encounter vibrant Chinatowns, or through small roadways just off Dundas Street in Toronto to happen upon enclaves of Portuguese from the Azores; if you wander through the Côte- des-Neiges district in Montreal you will discover a polyethnic world - Kazakhis, Russian Jews, Vietnamese, Sri Lankans or Haitians among many other groups - while parts ot Dartmouth are home to an old African-Canadian community.

Along with my childhood memories of holiday gatherings at my grandparents’ house, camping out in the backyard with cousins, and playing with the many pets they shared their home with over the years, I have recollections of studying the family tree and coats of arms that hung along the stairway, holding the spoon made by our ancestor, silversmith Daniel Van Voorhis (1751- 1824), and looking at lots and lots of family photographs. For some of the photographs, my grandmother had names for and stories about the people. For others, she didn’t, but we nevertheless found them fascinating and worth keeping.
