  • Big Sur for Other Uses, See Big Sur (Disambiguation)
    www.caseylucius.com [email protected] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Big Sur For other uses, see Big Sur (disambiguation). Big Sur is a lightly populated region of the Central Coast of California where the Santa Lucia Mountains rise abruptly from the Pacific Ocean. Although it has no specific boundaries, many definitions of the area include the 90 miles (140 km) of coastline from the Carmel River in Monterey County south to the San Carpoforo Creek in San Luis Obispo County,[1][2] and extend about 20 miles (30 km) inland to the eastern foothills of the Santa Lucias. Other sources limit the eastern border to the coastal flanks of these mountains, only 3 to 12 miles (5 to 19 km) inland. Another practical definition of the region is the segment of California State Route 1 from Carmel south to San Simeon. The northern end of Big Sur is about 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco, and the southern end is approximately 245 miles (394 km) northwest of Los Angeles. The name "Big Sur" is derived from the original Spanish-language "el sur grande", meaning "the big south", or from "el país grande del sur", "the big country of the south". This name refers to its location south of the city of Monterey.[3] The terrain offers stunning views, making Big Sur a popular tourist destination. Big Sur's Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only 3 miles (5 km) from the ocean.[4] The name Big Sur can also specifically refer to any of the small settlements in the region, including Posts, Lucia and Gorda; mail sent to most areas within the region must be addressed "Big Sur".[5] It also holds thousands of marathons each year.

    PUBLICATION OF ZEN CENTER Volume Yll Nos. 3-4 Fall 1968 Last summer Zen Center was at a critical stage in its evolution. The numerous changes resulting from the advent of Zen Mountain Center needed to be consolidated into a satisfactory and stable teaching situation for Suzuki Roshi and the stu· dents. Zen Center found that a number of do0nors were willing to contribute for the specific purpose of freeing the studenrs from the pressures of fund-raising so that they could concentrate on continuing the development of Zen Center and Zen Mountain Center. Nearly S65,000 was donai;. ed. This amount was turned over to Bob and Anna Beck, the previous owners of Tassajara, to cover the next three payments. In return they reduced the final purchase price. Zen Center will now be able to diminish the expe!llse and energy drain of two fund-raising drives a year and direct its funding activities in a more: balanced way. It is hoped that enough will be donated in an annual drive early each fa!ll to secure the following December and March pay­ ments in advance. However, if you had plamned to make a contribution towards this December's payment, please do. S12,000 in personal loans is already overdue and Sl04,000 is still owed on the Zen Mountain Center land. Why one should help cannot be easily exp[ain· ed. There may not be any personal benefit derived from doing so. In the Diamond Sutra Buddha asks: "What do you think, Subhuti, if a son or daughter of good family had filled this world system of a 1,000 million worlds with the seven precious things, and then gave it as a gift to the Tathagatas, the Arl1ats, t.he Fully Enlightened Ones, would they on the strength of that beget a great heap of merit?" Subhuti replied: "They would, 0 Lord, they would, 0 Well Gone! But if, ot1 the other hand, there were such a thing as a heap of merit, the Tathagata would not have spoken of a heap of merit." The lllmperor of China asked a similar ~ uestion of Bodhidharma: "Since 1 ascended the throne," began the Emperor, "I have erected numeroi<s temples.

  • August 7, 2015 Opening Reception: Thursday, June 25, 6 – 8 PM
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE All Watched Over curated by Tina Kukielski June 25 – August 7, 2015 Opening Reception: Thursday, June 25, 6 – 8 PM BRENNA MURPHY sunriseSequence~inlet, 2015 archival pigment print Courtesy of American Medium, Brooklyn, NY James Cohan Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition curated by Tina Kukielski entitled All Watched Over, opening on June 25th, 2015 and running through August 7th, 2015. Richard Brautigan’s poem All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, written in 1967 while he was poet-in-residence at the California Institute of Technology, anticipates an ecosystem where animal, human, and machine live in harmony with nature. Freed from the constraints of labor and balanced by cybernetic feedback mechanisms that regulate and sustain life, the humans in Brautigan’s short poem flourish in a naturalistic techno-utopia. Years later, acclaimed documentary journalist Adam Curtis appropriated Brautigan’s title when he aired a BBC television series under the same name in 2011. From the standpoint of the recent past, Curtis’s wide-reaching documentary analyses the vicissitudes of the postmodern techno-utopia Brautigan alludes to in his poem. In his signature style, Curtis argues that computers have failed to be the great liberators they were once purported to be. With the promise of a cybernetic techno-utopia as its backdrop, this exhibition brings together a group of artists who apply systems to and in their work. Across a diversity of practices and cultures, the dominant theme in All Watched Over is art in the form of information processing and its diagramming. Set against today’s data-processed landscape, the artworks in All Watched Over transform data into hidden messages, ciphers, unifying theories, complex diagrams, and personal or cultural cosmologies.
