The Greater Beth-el Temple church family welcomed Elder Calvin J. Gould, Sr. and his wife, First Lady Valerie Gould, as our new pastor and wife. Our Pastoral Installation Service with the theme Serving God’s People: A New Day, A New Beginning, was held on Sunday, June 30, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. Our speaker was Bishop Edward C. Price. Elder and First Lady Gould are excited and happy to serve Greater Beth-el Temple and the Omaha metropolitan community.
May the Lord bless them both in moving the church forward through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Video installation is a contemporary art form that combines video technology with installation art, making use of all aspects of the surrounding environment to affect the audience.
I have always been drawn to tragic stories, particularly those of cosmic grandeur, often with Greek origins. The legend of Niobe, a proud princess and mother of fourteen children, seven sons and seven daughters (the Niobids), who boasted of her large family and jeered at goddess Leto, who had only two children, the twins Apollo and Artemis, resulting in unbearable tragedy, was one of my favorites.
Gods were not to be mocked at and the offended Leto sent her children to revenge her honor. Apollo and Artemis started to shoot arrows and killed Niobe’s sons and daughters one by one. Niobe’s plea to spare at least one daughter came too late, and none of her fourteen children were spared. The loss was so great, the grief so heavy, that Niobe turned into stone, yet even the stone continued to weep tears.
Since I started my “White Dress” series, I have been exploring the expressive possibilities of this motif and the results often took me by surprise, and further fanned my curiosity, and wanted to probe ever further.
Though my recent well-received “Stringed White Dresses – An Installation” was a success, I felt that the origami dresses in that installation were too prim, too orderly. I wanted to create something more chaotic. For the composition, I imagined a large dress, like a queen bee, surrounded by smaller ones; this fit the Niobe story perfectly.
After several attempts, I decided on the sizes of the dresses and chose white dresses to represent female and grey to represent male characters. Before I folded the origami dresses, I crumpled the paper to give them a more lively look. I put black ink and brown wash on paper to create the chaos in the background, some areas were covered with white oil wash to enrich the texture and to give more contrast to the dresses taped over the drawing paper, and finally some yellow oil streaks to suggest the ungodly gods’ touches.
To finish the entire assemblage, I pinned the little daughter Niobe tried to save onto her with a needle. Finally, I freely splashed black ink over the ensemble, and that constituted my final touch.

The tiles are hauled up to the platform at the top of three storey scaffolding. They are then laid out on the platform as they will be on the wall. In sets of five vertical lines the cement is applied to the wall and the tiles carefully pressed into place. Once this is completed the grouting between each tile is applied.

This exhibition documents international Indigenous artists’ responses to the impacts of radiation and toxic waste on Native peoples and the environment. The work of the 36 artists and collectives, most of whom identify as Indigenous, is centered around the impact that nuclear testing, uranium mining, and the subsequent contamination have had on the colonized peoples and their ancestral, unceded lands of present-day Australia, Canada, Greenland, the US, Japan, and the Pacific Islands. The exhibition presents an interdisciplinary mixture of forms and genres, including sculpture, video installation, photography, collage, glasswork, metalwork, fiber, paintings, and virtual-reality experiences. The works tell personal stories of illness, struggle, and resilience in the face of corporate willfulness and government complicity.

Art installation on the walls of the now-abandoned former convent of Sant'Orsola, also home to squatters in the past, by local street artist Vaclav Pisvejc.
After fixing hundreds of dollar bills to the wall, the artist spray-painted across them, in French, ‘Capitalism is not possible.' Through his work, Pisvejc hopes to draw attention to San Lorenzo neighbourhood, particularly via Panicale and the Sant'Orsola complex, area with a dense immigrant population, marked by blight and often violence: ‘It's a place that Florentines avoid now.'
Monastero di Sant'Orsola, 1309, was a tobacco factory since 1810. Since 1940s it had different uses, most lately by squatters, and was abandoned, run down, hidden by scaffolding.

Final Major Project Tea room installation. Included three re-designed tea packages, illustrating tea from the brand 'Dr.Stuarts Extrodinarily Good Teas.', booklet, A3 journal and log book. June 2009.
Statement Of Intent:
I am working towards producing an installation in the style of a tearoom. I will produce illustrations and designs for the tea’s packaging, possibly to apply to a menu and staff uniform. Small narratives will be included on packaging to inform customers about buying fair-trade, local and organic produce. My purpose is to inform people of the joys of tea drinking; emphasising the different aromas, flavours and diversity derived from natural ingredients. It will continue my interest in buying ethical, local and sustainable produce, but to also explore my imagination in illustrating different teas, possibly by personification where I will explore their flavours, ingredients and origins.
My influences are to draw from real life in various locations to create spontaneous and lively drawings. From these initial sketches, I want to experiment with techniques that best express the concept and idea. I want to observe people in cafés, enjoying drinking tea and talking amongst themselves. A nice contrast would be to compare tea drinking in the comfort of your own home. I intend to document a variety of tea drinking equipment such as strainers, cups and saucers, teapots, and cutlery from the ordinary to the extraordinary. I want to learn about our tea drinking culture and why it’s such a popular socialism. I want to continue delving into the world of illustration through books and magazines and visiting museums and exhibitions.
From previous projects, I want to continue exploring techniques such as collage, print, and painting with inks. Water based materials would visually reflect the teas nature. I want to discover new types of line and learn about what styles of drawing best apply to them. I would like to incorporate materials I have collected to promote recycling and sustainable packaging. I would like to try embossment as a way of applying a text or image to a surface. It is the most sustainable decorating process available as it is accomplished through the stretching of paper stock, with no additional product added such as ink. I would like to informed of other techniques or resources linked to this technique.

red tape was an installation i set up as part of cms day50 art exhibition. the theme was 'christ plays in 10 000 places'. this was the blurb that went with it...
Red Tape
Mission is a border crossing experience whether geographical or cultural - into new areas, risky spaces, out of the comfort zones onto other peoples turf. In those spaces we are likely to be guests rather than hosts. Someone else is throwing the parties. When we make that journey invariably Christ is already there ahead of us.
Red tape (that great symbol of heavy handed control and stifling beaurocracy seemingly so much loved by religious institutions) explores how easy it is to forget this.
Do we cross borders or create them?
Whilst Christ plays in ten thousand places the church time and again has done her best to keep him wrapped in red tape.
