NYCHA - NYCHA Senior Benefit & Entitlement Fair - September 22, 2011 - River Bank State Park (Photo by Leticia Barboza)
Entitled to Charles V, the construction of the Bastion was commissioned by Ferdinand of Aragon and completed by Giovanni Battista Loffredo in 1551.
New Deal mural entitled "Forestry Service" painted by Stevan Dohanos in 1939. This mural was painted as part of a compromise for the "Mining Villge" mural to be placed in the Forestry Building in Elkins.
This work entitled «Body landscapes», has as theme the human body or the self through space, which is associated with the indoor environment.
Specifically it is capturing the central idea which started with the assumption that the man is the one, who by his presence and himself in general, gives life to the space, or by decorating and by placing several items in it, it manages to bring out a space.
But what happens when the roles are reversed; When the inanimate objects trying to get life inside an animate environment? These are the questions, that arise through the use of games, which are placed to the naked human body and refers to the natural environment.
Through the representations of the figures, which depict scenes from the wild, as well as battle scenes, is attempted to be given a realistic dimension to the subject and the objects to gain life on the human body that encloses them.
Finally, it is worth mentioning the inspiration and development of this project, which is the photographer Allan Teger. His work is called “Bodyscapes” and began in 1976.

Η συγκεκριμένη εργασία με τίτλο «Body landscapes», έχει ως θεματικό άξονα το ανθρώπινο σώμα ή τον εαυτό μέσα στο χώρο, ο οποίος σχετίζεται με το εσωτερικό περιβάλλον.
Πιο εμπεριστατωμένα, η σύλληψη της κεντρικής ιδέας ξεκίνησε με το σκεπτικό, ότι ο άνθρωπος είναι εκείνος, που είτε με την παρουσία του και τον εαυτό του γενικότερα, δίνει ζωή στον χώρο, είτε με την διακόσμηση και την τοποθέτηση διάφορων αντικειμένων μέσα σ’ αυτόν, καταφέρνει να αναδείξει έναν χώρο.
Ωστόσο, τι συμβαίνει, όταν οι ρόλοι αντιστρέφονται; Όταν τα άψυχα αντικείμενα προσπαθούν να πάρουν ζωή, μέσα σ΄ ένα έμψυχο περιβάλλον; Αυτά είναι τα ερωτήματα που τίθενται, μέσα από την χρήση παιχνιδιών-φιγούρων, που έχουν τοποθετηθεί πάνω σε γυμνό ανθρώπινο σώμα, το οποίο παραπέμπει στο φυσικό περιβάλλον.
Μέσα από τις αναπαραστάσεις των φιγούρων, οι οποίες απεικονίζουν σκηνές από την άγρια φύση, καθώς επίσης και πολεμικές σκηνές, γίνεται προσπάθεια να δοθεί μια ρεαλιστική διάσταση στο θέμα και τα αντικείμενα να αποκτήσουν ζωή, πάνω στο ανθρώπινο σώμα, που τα περικλείει.
Εν κατακλείδι, αξίζει να σημειωθεί η πηγή έμπνευσης και ανάπτυξης του συγκεκριμένου project, η οποία είναι ο φωτογράφος Allan Teger. Η δουλειά του ονομάζεται “Bodyscapes” και ξεκίνησε το 1976.
Wonderful exhibition entitled "Más real que la realidad" of pictures by the US photographer W. Eugene Smith (1918-78)
It included photo essays for Life magazine such as "A Spanish Village" (1950), "Country Doctor" and "Nurse Midwife" (1950s) as well as series on Pittsburgh, Albert Schweitzer and the industrial pollution on the Japanese island of Minimata (1971-5) and its effects on the local population.
These were all powerful social and atrtistic documets. I hadn't been familiar with Smith's name or work before, and this exhibition was a real find!
A technical bulletin entitled "Report on Salvage Operations: Submarine S-51" that describes the salvage of USS S-51 (SS 162).
USS S-51 (SS 162) was commissioned June 24, 1922. On September 25, 1925 she was rammed and sunk by a merchant steamer off Block Island, N.Y. Only three of the 36 crew members survived. S-51 (SS 162) was raised on June 5, 1926. This book is one of many in the U.S. Naval Undersea Museum's collection detailing different U.S. Navy operations.

Photo exhibition at the Palais des Nations entitled "Shared Risks, Shared Responsibility: Opportunities for Cooperation".
This photo exhibit is an event to highlight existing practices and opportunities to build disaster resilient communities and nations, as part of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), a ten-year plan endorsed by the General Assembly in 2005 to coordinate country efforts to reduce disaster risk.
It provides visual evidence of how countries are interpreting the HFA principles to reduce risk to protect and advance development, and the need for this important work to be fully integrated into sustainable development initiatives.

The current project entitled “The Support Resilience in Time of Crisis: Increase Availability of Energy at the Local Level” is funded by the Government of Netherlands and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The Lebanon Crisis Response Plan – LCRP identified energy as one of the target sectors. More specifically the plan states, that “Government authorities in charge of the Energy and Water Sector, in collaboration with international and local partners, will continue their strong support to the most affected local communities, particularly through infrastructure projects in electricity, water, wastewater and solid waste. This has a vital benefit in mitigating the risks of social conflict between the local host communities and the displaced persons from Syria, and will be realized through the implementation of several activities.
The project’s objective is to increase the implementation of solar photovoltaic and/or other renewable energy projects within institutions (having a social impact or serving a social cause, located within the 251 most vulnerable communities in Lebanon), as a medium-term approach to reducing the impact of the Syrian crisis on the most vulnerable portion of the population. This objective is in line with the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan for 2017 - 2020.

An article entitled "Sea lions at Victoria's Race Rocks injured by debris, boats" just ran in Victoria's Times Colonist that quoted me. See it here: www.timescolonist.com/technology/lions+Victoria+Race+Rock...
Anna Hall, a marine zoologist also quoted in the article suggests showing graphic images to children to warn them of the dangers posed to sea lions. This series is a response to that suggestion and not biased propaganda as I have been accused of.
"Neck Rings" are horrific entanglements with discarded fishing gear and other marine debris that slowly starve, asphyxiate, and/or immuno-compromise marine mammals to death.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geranium
Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. It is found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. These attractive flowers will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semi-ripe cuttings in summer, by seed or by division in autumn or spring.
The species Geranium viscosissimum is considered to be protocarnivorous.
The name "cranesbill" derives from the appearance of the seed-heads, which have the same shape as the bill of a crane. The genus name is derived from the Greek γέρανος, géranos, or γερανός, geranós, crane. The long, palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. Their rose, pink to blue or white flowers have 5 petals.
Cranesbills are eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Brown-tail and Mouse Moth.
Confusingly, "geranium" is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium, which were formerly classified in the cranesbill genus. In the United States, true Geraniums are frequently distinguished from the less hardy Pelargoniums as (rather redundantly) "hardy geraniums" by gardeners and in the horticultural trade. One can make the distinction between the two by looking at the flowers: Geranium has symmetrical flowers, while Pelargonium has irregular or maculate petals. Other former members of the genus are now classified in genus Erodium, including the plants known as filarees in North America.
The sculptures entitled Two Pupils and are by Richard Kindersley and Allister Bowtell, 2002. It depicts two children c1814 from the Royal Military School, which occupied this site from 1803 to 1909. The boy is leap frogging over a bollard dated 1819.
Entitled History,Locality, Allegiance anyone interested in photography should get themselves down the Golden Thread Gallery to this show.
Victor hand printed these, projecting unto the paper tacked unto a wall opposite his enlarger, dodging and burning the images during exposures of over 20 minutes. They are then developed by mopping. Once dried, Victor hand taints, paints, scratches and manually manipulates the prints. You can see the size of the prints.
Go and see this. The prints are dealing with Protestant traditions and "the Troublings"(hat tip Jett Loe).
André Lhuillier, CSS PhD student. André’s talk entitled “Why Little Samson Didn’t Defeat The Hedgehog: A Story Of Social Influence And The Relevance Of Distribution For Successful Information Goods"
Abstract: In 1992 during one of the fiercest battles of the so called ‘console wars’, a modest game was released in the mist of the industry frenzy. Although ‘Little Samson’ is recognized by those who know it as a great game, it remains unknown for most of the consumers today. On the other side of the battlefield, Sega’s thriving Hedgehog was convincing everyone that they have seized their main competitor ‘Mario Kart’. Despite this momentary victory in consumer’s memory and affection, the real winner was not in the center of the industry’s attention. Having less media presence, the sequel of Super Mario Land for the Game Boy was the most purchased game with almost 200% units of what ‘Sonic 2’ sold. This kind of unpredictable and divergent behavior is a unique characteristic of information goods markets. In this presentation I survey the last 30 years of the video game sector and show its particular composition and evolution. Following De Vany’s approach to Hollywood movie industry I dwell into an analysis of this industry with special emphasis in consumer behavior. Re-visiting De Vany’s proposal I make a simple ABM approach to model and show how placement or distribution properties may induce long tail distributions. Following the relevance of information diffusion and the development of hype in this industry another model is presented. In this case the relevance of a consumer social system and its dynamics. After an analysis of the industry history, consumer’s social influence, sales and distribution/access is reviewed; I present several findings and propose a model to understand them. A final discussion will be opened with the presentation of data on Valve Company digital platform Steam.

From a 1900 book entitled Famous Stars of Light Opera:
Peter F. Dailey is a great actor in the extremely popular character of Peter F. Dailey, a part that he has played successfully, under various guises and amid diverse environments, for many seasons. It is not a highly complex role at that; it does not sink very deep into the bed-rock of human nature: it would be ridiculous in the extreme to think of it as even pricking the emotions or stirring ever so remotely the sentiments; its appeal to the intelligence, moreover, is entirely superficial, for the reason that its humour is both colloquial and conventional. Yet it is an immensely entertaining personation, for its spontaneity is perfect, its freshness, ease, and good-fellowship most satisfying, and its humanity, in its limited field of up-to-date Broadway, realistic and suggestively true to life. . . .
Dailey was born with the jester's temperament. Probably his stock of original humour is small, for his wit seems to be imitative rather than creative, and is chiefly remarkable for its nimbleness, timeliness, and adaptability. . . . Dailey's wit has no permanency, and it is often nonsensical and meaningless examined critically and apart from the conditions that gave it birth. It is literally a flash in the pan that catches one unawares, forcing laughter without thought and leaving one as suddenly, in a condition of mental bewilderment as regards the exact cause for the disturbance.
Dailey died in 1908 after contracting pneumonia while starring as the preposterously named Caramel de Jollidog, a "journeyman lover", in a burlesque of The Merry Widow. He is buried in the same family plot as the minstrel Billy West; the two were brothers-in-law, having married a pair of sisters.

During 1868, Thomas Gibson Bowles founded an influential British periodical entitled "Vanity Fair". It was published weekly and included both serial fiction and articles on fashion, current affairs, theatre, books and social events. Bowles also used "Vanity Fair" to expose what he perceived to be the contemporary vanities of Victorian high-society. This led him to introduce cartoon caricatures of famous people, drawn by artists such as Ape (Carlo Pellegrini, 1838-1889) and most famously, Spy (Leslie Ward, 1851-1922). Each cartoon was accompanied by a short, entertaining and often cutting biography. It has been suggested that Bowles scribed over two-thousand biographies during the forty-six years that "Vanity Fair" was in existence (1868-1914) under the pseudonym of Jehu Junior (named partially after a Biblical King who vanquished his enemies with extreme vigour). This is improbable, as Bowles sold the magazine during 1889 and thereafter became an extremely active Politician. It is far more probable that many of the Jehu Juniors were written by subsequent editors that included Bertram Fletcher Robinson. Bertram Fletcher Robinson edited "Vanity Fair" between 1904 and 1907. During his editorship, he began advertising widely and also swapped publishing house from Arthur Evans to Harmsworth. These actions coupled with the recruitment of writers such as PG Wodehouse saw an increase in the readership of "Vanity Fair". Between December 1905 and February 1907, Robinson also had a series of fifteen articles entitled "Chronicles in Cartoon" published in "The Windsor Magazine". Within these articles, Robinson reviews the most prominent caricatures and accompanying Jehu Juniors to appear in "Vanity Fair" between 1868 and 1907. Collectively, these articles provide a fascinating insight into every aspect of late Victorian-life and they will interest both collectors of the famous caricatures and historians. During January 1907, Bertram Fletcher Robinson died aged just 36 years. His untimely death occurred just two months after he relinquished the editorship of "Vanity Fair" and just one month before the conclusion of his serialization, "Chronicles in Cartoon". It is very likely that had he lived, he would have sought to have the fifteen items that were published in "The Windsor Magazine" compiled and republished in book form. Moreover, it is probable that he would have considered this work to be his magnum opus given that he was a graduate of History from Cambridge University. This book affords Robinson that posthumous opportunity.

The Postcard
Chaudun is a commune in the department of Aisne in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
The church at Chaudun is a good example of what sustained enemy bombardments with high explosive shells can do to even the strongest-built edifice.
Churches were a favourite target for artillery during the Great War because their height made them ideal as observation posts. Shells aimed at churches which just missed their target tended to fall in the churchyards, throwing up gravestones, coffins and corpses.
'Wirers' by Siegfried Sassoon
Siegfried Sassoon wrote a poem entitled 'Wirers'.
Here it is:
‘Pass it along, the wiring party’s going out’—
And yawning sentries mumble, ‘Wirers going out.’
Unravelling; twisting; hammering stakes with muffled thud,
They toil with stealthy haste and anger in their blood.
The Boche sends up a flare. Black forms stand rigid there,
Stock-still like posts; then darkness, and the clumsy ghosts
Stride hither and thither, whispering, tripped by clutching snare
Of snags and tangles.
Ghastly dawn with vaporous coasts
Gleams desolate along the sky, night’s misery ended.
Young Hughes was badly hit; I heard him carried away,
Moaning at every lurch; no doubt he’ll die to-day.
But we can say the front-line wire’s been safely mended'.
The Use of Artillery in the Great War
Artillery was very heavily used by both sides during the Great War. The British fired over 170 million artillery rounds of all types, weighing more than 5 million tons - that's an average of around 70 pounds (32 kilos) per shell.
If the 170m rounds were on average two feet long, and if they were laid end to end, they would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres); the line would go round the equator over two and a half times. If the artillery of the Central Powers of Germany and its allies is factored in, the figure can be doubled to 5 encirclements of the planet.
During the first two weeks of the Third Battle of Ypres, over 4 million rounds were fired at a cost of over £22,000,000 - a huge sum of money, especially over a century ago.
Artillery was the killer and maimer of the war of attrition.
According to Dennis Winter's book 'Death's Men' three quarters of battle casualties were caused by artillery rounds. According to John Keegan ('The Face of Battle') casualties were:
- Bayonets - less than 1%
- Bullets - 30%
- Artillery and Bombs - 70%
Keegan suggests however that the ratio changed during advances, when massed men walking line-abreast with little protection across no-man's land were no match for for rifles and fortified machine gun emplacements.
Many artillery shells fired during the Great War failed to explode. Drake Goodman provides the following information on Flickr:
"During World War I, an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate. In the Ypres Salient alone, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the German forces fired at each other were "duds", and most of them have not been recovered."
To this day, large quantities of Great War matériel are discovered on a regular basis. Many shells from the Great War were left buried in the mud, and often come to the surface during ploughing and land development.
For example, on the Somme battlefields in 2009 there were 1,025 interventions, unearthing over 6,000 pieces of ammunition weighing 44 tons.
Artillery shells may or may not still be live with explosive or gas, so the bomb disposal squad, of the Civilian Security of the Somme, dispose of them.
The Somme Times
From 'The Somme Times', Monday, 31 July, 1916:
'There was a young girl of the Somme,
Who sat on a number five bomb,
She thought 'twas a dud 'un,
But it went off sudden -
Her exit she made with aplomb!'
Cast stone relief entitled "Pony Express and Rural Delivery" created by Vincent Glinsky in 1940. The postal service moved out of the old PO around 1969. All the literature in books and online lists this artwork as "missing". It remained in the old PO after it was sold to a private individual. The current "owner" removed the piece in the last few months due to someone trying to break into the old PO--he was concerned they would damage the artwork. He hopes to loan the piece to a museum for display but it currently is in his garage.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The peony or paeony (Paeonia) is the only genus in the flowering plant family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, southern Europe and western North America.
Most are herbaceous perennial plants 0.5–1.5 metres tall, but some are woody shrubs up to 1.5–3 metres tall. They have compound, deeply lobed leaves, and large, often fragrant flowers, ranging from red to white or yellow, in late spring and early summer. In the past, the peonies were often classified in the family Ranunculaceae, alongside Hellebores and Anemones.
The peony is named after Paeon or Paean, a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. Asclepius became jealous of his pupil; Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the peony flower
The peony is among the longest-used flowers in ornamental culture and is one of the smallest living creature national emblems in China. Along with the plum blossom, it is a traditional floral symbol of China, where it is called 牡丹 (mǔ dān). It is also known as 富贵花 (fuguihua) "flower of riches and honour", and is used symbolically in Chinese art.[2] In 1903, the Qing Dynasty declared the peony as the national flower. Currently, the Republic of China on Taiwan designates the plum blossom as the national flower, while the People's Republic of China has no legally designated national flower. In 1994, the peony was proposed as the national flower after a nationwide poll, but the National People's Congress failed to ratify the selection. In 2003, another selection process has begun, but to date, no choice has been made.
The famous ancient Chinese city Luoyang has a reputation as a cultivation centre for the peonies. Throughout Chinese history, peonies in Luoyang are often said to be the finest in the country. Dozens of peony exhibitions and shows are still held there annually.
In Japan, Paeonia lactiflora used to be called ebisugusuri ("foreign medicine"). In kampo (the Japanese adaptation of Chinese medicine), its root was used as a treatment for convulsions. It is also cultivated as a garden plant. In Japan Paeonia suffruticosa is called the "The King of flowers" and Paeonia lactiflora is called the "prime minister of flowers".
Pronunciation of 牡丹 (peony) in Japan is "botan". Before the Meiji period, meat taken from quadrupeds was seldom consumed in Japan due to Buddhism. Thus in cases where such meat was handled, it was paraphrased using the names of flowers. The term botan was used (and is still used) to paraphrase wild boar meat. This comes from the flowery resemblance of the sliced meat when spread over a dish. Another example is sakura (cherry blossoms) which stands for horsemeat.
In 1957, the Indiana General Assembly passed a law to make the peony the state flower of Indiana, a title which it holds to this day. It replaced the zinnia, which had been the state flower since 1931.
Mischievous nymphs were said to hide in the petals of the Peony thus causing this magnificent flower to be given the meaning of Shame or Bashfulness in the Language of Flowers. It was named after Pæon, a physician to the gods, who obtained the plant on Mount Olympus from the mother of Apollo. Once planted the Peony likes to be left alone and punishes those who try to move it by not flowering again for several years. Once established, however, it produces splendid blooms each year for decades (Taken from The Language of Flowers, edited by Sheila Pickles, 1990).
Peonies are also extensively grown as ornamental plants for their very large, often scented flowers.
Peonies tend to attract ants to the flower buds. This is due to the nectar that forms on the outside of the flower buds.
Peonies are a common subject in tattoos, often used along with koi-fish.
This work entitled «Body landscapes», has as theme the human body or the self through space, which is associated with the indoor environment.
Specifically it is capturing the central idea which started with the assumption that the man is the one, who by his presence and himself in general, gives life to the space, or by decorating and by placing several items in it, it manages to bring out a space.
But what happens when the roles are reversed; When the inanimate objects trying to get life inside an animate environment? These are the questions, that arise through the use of games, which are placed to the naked human body and refers to the natural environment.
Through the representations of the figures, which depict scenes from the wild, as well as battle scenes, is attempted to be given a realistic dimension to the subject and the objects to gain life on the human body that encloses them.
Finally, it is worth mentioning the inspiration and development of this project, which is the photographer Allan Teger. His work is called “Bodyscapes” and began in 1976.

Η συγκεκριμένη εργασία με τίτλο «Body landscapes», έχει ως θεματικό άξονα το ανθρώπινο σώμα ή τον εαυτό μέσα στο χώρο, ο οποίος σχετίζεται με το εσωτερικό περιβάλλον.
Πιο εμπεριστατωμένα, η σύλληψη της κεντρικής ιδέας ξεκίνησε με το σκεπτικό, ότι ο άνθρωπος είναι εκείνος, που είτε με την παρουσία του και τον εαυτό του γενικότερα, δίνει ζωή στον χώρο, είτε με την διακόσμηση και την τοποθέτηση διάφορων αντικειμένων μέσα σ’ αυτόν, καταφέρνει να αναδείξει έναν χώρο.
Ωστόσο, τι συμβαίνει, όταν οι ρόλοι αντιστρέφονται; Όταν τα άψυχα αντικείμενα προσπαθούν να πάρουν ζωή, μέσα σ΄ ένα έμψυχο περιβάλλον; Αυτά είναι τα ερωτήματα που τίθενται, μέσα από την χρήση παιχνιδιών-φιγούρων, που έχουν τοποθετηθεί πάνω σε γυμνό ανθρώπινο σώμα, το οποίο παραπέμπει στο φυσικό περιβάλλον.
Μέσα από τις αναπαραστάσεις των φιγούρων, οι οποίες απεικονίζουν σκηνές από την άγρια φύση, καθώς επίσης και πολεμικές σκηνές, γίνεται προσπάθεια να δοθεί μια ρεαλιστική διάσταση στο θέμα και τα αντικείμενα να αποκτήσουν ζωή, πάνω στο ανθρώπινο σώμα, που τα περικλείει.
Εν κατακλείδι, αξίζει να σημειωθεί η πηγή έμπνευσης και ανάπτυξης του συγκεκριμένου project, η οποία είναι ο φωτογράφος Allan Teger. Η δουλειά του ονομάζεται “Bodyscapes” και ξεκίνησε το 1976.
Welcome to my latest Flickr series entitled "Quintessential Ireland". During our honeymoon, my wife and I stopped in Kinsale, County Cork. While walking through the bustling fishing village, I stumbled upon the studio of Giles Norman, an Irish B&W landscape artist. His work was an inspiration for this series.
This series will include pictures from all over Ireland including Dublin, Kilkenny, Kinsale, Cobh, Kenmare, Killarney, Galway, Doolin, Dingle, Cashel, Blarney, etc.
In this series, I will have photos of the majestic scenery in Ireland such as Slea Head on the Dingle Peninsula and the Cliffs of Moher, as well as scenes I associate with Ireland such as boat scenes, pubs, and castles. I hope you like this series as much as I enjoyed putting it together!
To see large on black to really pull out the details, please push "L" on your keyboard or click the photo.
I'm always looking for ways to improve my photos, so please take a second to leave a comment or critique! Thank you all for viewing my photo!
My most interesting photos!
Cultural critic Brian Holmes presents a talk entitled “Tactical Media in the Neoliberal Era: The Helicopter View,” in connection with the Critical Art Ensemble’s Keep Hope Alive Block Party and Acceptable Losses. Holmes presents an overview of four different fields of contemporary political engagement, arguing that the key contribution of the Critical Art Ensemble has been an unflinching theoretical confrontation with the global scale of “pancapitalism.”
Brian Holmes was born in San Francisco in 1959 and lives in Chicago. With Claire Pentecost and the 16 Beaver Group he co-organized the Continental Drift seminars (2005–11). He is a member of the Compass group, exploring the “Midwest Radical Cultural Corridor,” and of the Technopolitics group, with Armin Medosh and others. His recent books include Escape the Overcode (2009) and Unleashing the Collective Phantoms (2008). He also wrote the foreward for Critical Art Ensemble: Disturbances (LONDON, FOUR CORNERS BOOKS, 2012).

I feel entitled to post more than one photo today... a lot more than one. I deem them worth seeing and had an amazing day. So enjoy.
People who got fully decked out (like this couple) were all about posing! The moment they saw a camera they'd stop and stand. Impressive.
I almost entitled this: "The Longest Stare". Poor Guy. He was staring
down the avenue like the day would never end, like he could stare his way
out of his location, the situation he found himself in, apparently not by
choice. Talk about one frustrated "tactical officer". It appears he was
pulled off his regular assignment to work the "Safe Treats, Safe Streets"
detail, and you just knew he'd rather be anywhere but there. The motor cop
was much more into it, and friendly.

Museum de Fundatie Zwolle NL presents an exhibition entitled Giacometti-Chadwick, Facing Fear, to run from 22 September 2018 to 6 January 2019. The sculptures of Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) and Lynn Chadwick (1914-2003) are manifestations of the sense of fear and disillusionment that pervaded Europe during the Cold War period. Their work bids a final farewell to pre-war romanticism and aestheticism, and lands with both feet in the raw reality of the post-war world. While Giacometti reduced the human form to its bare essentials, Chadwick created powerful archetypal images of both people and animals. The exhibition includes more than 150 works. Never before has the work of Giacometti and Chadwick been so explicitly brought together.
Their paths first crossed in 1956, when Chadwick became the youngest person ever to win the Grand Prix for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale. With only six years’ experience as a sculptor, the British artist snatched the prize from Giacometti, the hot favourite, who was thirteen years older and already a major name in Paris. Giacometti would go on to win the prize in 1962, but which of the two men was awarded it in 1956 is less significant than the fact that these two particular sculptors were the front-runners at that time. Each of them was expressing, in his own individual way, the sense of deep-seated angst that overshadowed day-to-day life in Europe in the fifties and sixties: the fear of a global nuclear disaster that would wipe out human civilisation.
Alberto Giacometti is among the most significant figures in the whole field of modern European sculpture. A member of a notable family of Swiss artists, he moved to Paris in 1922 and would remain there for the rest of his life, working as a sculptor, painter and graphic artist. After training with Émile-Antoine Bourdelle, he discovered modernism and so-called ‘primitive’ ethnographic art of Africa and Oceania. In response to these influences, his work became more abstract. In the early thirties, his Surrealist sculptures expressing subconscious emotions created a furore. From 1935, however, personal psychological tensions triggered a crisis in his life and work that led to a return to the human figure. Initially, his portraits and figures became both increasingly tiny and more and more attenuated. This thinness was to remain the most distinctive feature of Giacometti’s art. After the Second World War, he began to create the elongated, emaciated figures that would bring him worldwide fame. In all their attenuation, they reduce humanity to its very essence and appear both vulnerable and enigmatic.
In the early fifties, up-and-coming artist Lynn Chadwick managed to dislodge Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth from their dominant position in the field of British sculpture. Born in London, Chadwick had started his career as a technical draughtsman and exhibition stand designer. He took an equally constructional approach to his sculpture: rather than model his human and animal figures in clay or wax, he constructed them by welding steel rods together to create an armature and then filling in the gaps with a kind of cement. The angularity of the work being produced by him and other young British artists was described in 1952 as ‘the geometry of fear’, a reference to the constant dread of nuclear annihilation. Chadwick’s apocalyptic Dancers and stoical Watchers gave powerful expression to this sense of angst. From the early seventies, he broadened his repertoire to include subjects that seem to restore the sovereignty of the human spirit. Sculptures like Cloaked Figure and Sitting Couple no longer look threatening, but emanate a sense of composure and invulnerability.
Giacometti’s pre-war work influenced Chadwick’s development and the two men were keenly aware of each other’s presence. In addition to the vast differences, there are also many similarities between their oeuvres. Giacometti-Chadwick, Facing Fear is the product of close cooperation with the Fondation Marguerite et Aimé Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence and the Chadwick Estate and Blain|Southern gallery in London.

Photo exhibition at the Palais des Nations entitled "Shared Risks, Shared Responsibility: Opportunities for Cooperation".
This photo exhibit is an event to highlight existing practices and opportunities to build disaster resilient communities and nations, as part of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), a ten-year plan endorsed by the General Assembly in 2005 to coordinate country efforts to reduce disaster risk.
It provides visual evidence of how countries are interpreting the HFA principles to reduce risk to protect and advance development, and the need for this important work to be fully integrated into sustainable development initiatives.
