Künstlerhaus Vienna
Künstlerhaus Vienna (1883)
Foyer of the Künstlerhaus (2007)
The Künstlerhaus is an exhibition building in the city center of Vienna (1st district). It is located in the Ring Road area between Academy Street, Bösendorferstraße, Dumbastraße and Musikverein place, next to the building of the Vienna Musikverein, and has its main entrance from the Karlsplatz.
The building was built in 1865-1868 and is now used as an exhibition house for painting, sculpture, architecture and applied arts. Owner is the Society of Austrian Visual Artists, Artists' House, the oldest existing association of artists in Austria. Since 1949, the Künstlerhaus operates (with the entrance on its side front at the Academy Street) the "Künstlerhaus" cinema, in which the by the Vienna Film Festival Viennale run "cinema city" will move in September 2013.
The Artists' Association

In the suburb Laimgrube which was incorporated in 1850 as part of the new district Mariahilf to Vienna there was at the corner Untere Stättengasse (since 1862 Dürergasse) and Canalgasse (since 1902 Joanelligasse) the restaurant "To The Blue Bouquet". There the architect Leopold Ernst 1847 finished under huge cost overrun a neo-Gothic ballroom. This hall was the meeting place of the in 1851 founded company of the association of young artists and academics, who later renamed itself in Albrecht Dürer's club.
1861, the artist clubs concord and Albrecht Dürer club joined together under the name Cooperative Artists of Vienna for the then professional organization of Viennese painters, sculptors and architects. 1868, the new house was purchased. 1897 split some modern artists from the Künstlerhaus and founded the Vienna Secession. Thus, the Künstlerhaus lost its function as the authoritative representation of all artists.
Since 1972, the association is also open to representatives of the applied arts. In 1976, while maintaining the cooperative legal form, it was renamed into Society of Visual Artists of Austria, Artists' House. Since 1983 also film and audiovisual artists are members. The in 1985 founded Künstlerhaus -Ges. m. b . H. (limited liability company) organizes also exhibitions for other museums and institutions. From 2002 to 2012 Peter Bogner was the director of Künstlerhaus.
Architectural History
The House of Artists in 1900
Exhibition: Space Inventions (2010)
After the decision by Emperor Franz Joseph I taken late 1857 to let demolish the city walls, the Vienna ring road was planned and built as a representative boulevard and by the Emperor in 1865 opened, in the year of the beginning of the construction of the Künstlerhaus. The at the Ministry of the Interior established urban expansion fund had the task to exploit the former military site and sold most of the lots to private investors. To the attractiveness of the new ring road zone should contribute cultural institutions to which the Fund provided land free of charge. These facilities included the Artists' House and the Musikverein, which received opposite the Karlskirche land on the banks of the then still open flowing river Wien.
Architect of the Künstlerhaus was August Weber (1836-1903), who had built 1863/1864 the horticulture building at the park ring. It was based on the style of an Italian Renaissance villa of Jacopo Sansovino. The Vienna company Anton Wasserburger carried out all the stonework, preferentially St. Margarethen and Wöllersdorfer stone and Kaiser stone from Kaiser quarry (Kaisersteinbruch) were used. Franz Joseph I put the keystone.
The on 1 September 1868 - almost nine months before the near Imperial Court Opera and 16 months before the neighboring Musikverein - opened house received in 1882 a larger annex, namely the two side wings, where later in 1949 left a cinema and 1974 right a theater was housed, in the same year the First International Art Exhibition was held in the Artist's house. 1888, the interior garden was roofed over.
In the last decade of the 19th Century, began construction works on the Vienna city railway and on the partial vaulting of the Vienna River. Since 1899, the artist house immediately adjacent rail station (since 1980 exclusively subway station), designed by Otto Wagner, is in operation. 1899/1900, the vaulting of the Wienfluss (Vienna river) was completed, so that the front of the Künstlerhaus no longer was situated on a river bank, but on the edge of the new, large, 1899 named Charles Square.
1956/57, the Stiftersaal was subjected to a massive modernization.
Building speculation
Artist House 1st Floor Exhibition: Cool Mega 4.0 (2012)
Exhibition: Munkácsy. Magic & Mystery (2012)
Exhibition: relationship work. Art and Institution (2011)
In the 20th Century the for the ring road area unusual low construction several times came under speculative demolition or at least increasement pressure. So the plan Kaym / Hetmanek in the early 1930s provided the replacement of the historicist pavilion by eight-story apartment buildings, 1935, the young Roland Rainer started to think about a "building density" at this prominent location.
The guidelines of the planning competition Karlsplatz in 1946 made clear that the city of Vienna the Artists' House and the Transport Office building at the other end of Karlsplatz considered as expendable (both still exist today). Also worth mentioning is the 1966 by Karl Schwanzer instead of the Künstlerhaus planned office building for IBM, but which met broad public discontent among the public and medias. The case of St. Florian church in the summer of 1965 probably here had led to second thoughts.
Current use and planning
Today, planning considerations are again underway to better integrate the Künstlerhaus through extensions and conversions in the museum cluster at Karlsplatz. For example, was the result of an in 1999 conducted architectural competition, which had provided the replacement of the two side wings through glass pavilions, in July 2010 by Beppo Mauhart again brought into play.
The on the southeastern side of Karlsplatz located Vienna Museum, opened in 1959 as the Historical Museum of the City of Vienna, the Künstlerhaus repeatedly rented for months for exhibitions, among them were:
1985: dream and reality. Vienna 1870-1930 (Directorate Robert Waissenberger), designed by Hans Hollein, with 622,000 visits to date Viennese record
1987: Biedermeier and Vormärz (Directorate Günther Düriegl), designed by Boris Podrecca
2004: Alt-Wien. The city that never was (Directorate Wolfgang Kos)
2009/2010: Battle for the City. Politics, art and everyday life in 1930 (Directorate Wolfgang Kos)
Thus, there were considerations to transfer the Künstlerhaus into the management of the suffering from lack of space Vienna Museum, but the artists' association could not make friends with it. In the meantime, this is no longer considered in the Vienna Museum, and discussed with the municipality where a new building could be built for the museum.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum (Museum of Art History) the Artists' House in the era of the directorate of Wilfried Seipel in the last decade of the 20th Century also has used for exhibitions. Later, the Ministry of Education for it no longer has provided resources, by which was opened a significant gap in the budget of the Künstlerhaus.
2011 was publicly debated that occurred structural damages would require a lot of money for repairs, but that the association of artists these funds can not generate from the ongoing operation of the Künstlerhaus. The institutions as grants and subsidies coming into question, the Ministry of Education and Culture Department of the City Administration have, however, to face with their own budget problems.
Theatre
brut Künstlerhaus (Popfest 2013)
Since the conversion of the right wing to theater in the middle of the 1970s, the Comedians House Theatre was located there until 1985. After the end of which there was an attempt to revive the theater as a Political Stage Artists' House. On behalf of the City of Vienna and the former culture councillor Ursula Pasterk was decided in 1987 to place the theater together with the also vacant theater in the Konzerthaus the free theater groups of the city at the disposal. With 31 January 1989 took over the dietheater, supported by the Theatre Association of Vienna, under the artistic direction of Christian Pronay the two venues. By 2007, the dietheater served as a stage various Austrian, especially Viennese theater groups, the contemporary dance art devotes since then the annually held there festival imagetanz (image dance).
The re-tendering of the artistic direction of the theater club in the summer of 2006 Thomas Frank and Haiko Pfost could win for themselves, which on 20 November 2006 were designated by executive councillor for Culture Andreas Mailath-Pokorny as new artistic directors. This was followed by the reconstruction or renovation of the venue as well as the renaming of dietheater in brood (" brut Künstlerhaus" and "brut im Konzerthaus"). The re-opening as a stage for off-theater productions, dance performances and concerts took place on 9 November 2007.
Cinema
Cinema in the Künstlerhaus (Viennale 2009)
The cinema in the Künstlerhaus arose 1947-1949 with the conversion of the previously as an exhibition hall used left wing, designed by architect Alfons Hetmanek. The large paintings on the side walls of the cinema, allegorical representations of visual art, music, poetry, film and theater, stem from Rudolf Eisenmenger and Rudolf Holzinger. By 1966 Leopold Hauer was responsible for the program design as artistic director. Were shown here, among others, Austrian premieres of works by Jean Cocteau, Jacques Tati and René Clair.
After it was previously one of the cinemas showing films within the scope of the Viennale film festival, since 2005 it is again one of the festival venues. Was started in 2009 with the renovation and technical renewal of the cinema. By the end of 2012, the Künstlerhaus with the Viennale concluded a contract for 20 years, accordingly to which the "cinema city" will give up its location at Schwarzenbergplatz and in September 2013 as the "City Cinema in the Künstlerhaus" move here.

Experimenting exciting circus acrobatics helps to fill Roney's rather big need for adrenaline.
Integrating such activities with other children who have never been on the streets or used drugs, helps him to realize that there is really no need for him to use any kind of artificial stimulants and that his life is much more balanced without them.
This feeling will only be strengthened the next time he hits the streets and uses drugs. Now he will have something to remember and to compare. That will help him to reflect over his situation and will positively interfere with his decision making process whilst on the streets.
It is in deepest regret and sadness that I inform you of Roney's cold-blooded murder on the early morning hours of January 15th. May he find peace wherever his journey has taken him.......
IMPORTANT NOTE:
On June 27th. we also lost our beloved Claudiney.

Litestep Details
The login/loading screen are all done in litestep. Basically, windows boots to my account and displays the login screen (no password matching yet, but it's coming - it's a moot point, as I have a boot password set anyway...). The login text area resizes down and the loading circles resizes out. It's a pretty slick animation :). The loader animation is a throwback to the old days of cmd prompt where you would just use the / - \ | characters to make a spinning wheel.
The taskbar has an integrated information bar that shows battery, network and twitter info. Clicking on the twitter bird calls a php function (via LSActiveDesktop) that fetches and updates the latest tweet from my feed. Clicking on the box icon brings up the console.
The console is by far my favorite part of the theme. I took stole a lot of design cues from the terminal in the new tron movie. Clicking on the icons on the left side change the text in the left panel. The home screen displays weather, news, and social info (pulled from various RSS feeds). Clicking on the graph icon brings up system info (CPU clocks, RAM, etc). Currently, those are the only two implemented, but once LSActiveDesktop is more robust, the chat, reader, favorites, and video app should all be possible.
The right side of the console features a little text area where you can input !Bang commands. It's not LSXCommand, but a Text Box that parses bang commands and runs them. I wanted to use LSXCommand, but I couldn't (I can't remember why, just that it didn't work like I wanted...). You can actually control the console from within this command box (so you can feel extra l33t), but it's not useful for much else. Really more eye candy than anything.
Clicking on the <<- arrow in the top-left brings back the desktop. That's about it.
If you stuck through all of that text, I applaud you :). Merry Christmas :D

Orbiter Atlantis lifted off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 11:29 a.m. EDT, July 8, 2011, to begin the STS-135 mission. This was the final launch in the Space Shuttle Program.
Though the launch is finished, work is just beginning for staff at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center more than 800 miles away from the launch pad, just outside Washington, D.C., in Greenbelt, Md.
Goddard employees will work around-the-clock to guarantee the four astronauts aboard Atlantis have constant, uninterrupted lines of communication with Mission Control. The careful dance of satellite relays necessary to keep channels open requires global coordination, but it all comes together in Goddard’s Network Integration Center. Goddard has fulfilled this communication role in literally all of NASA’s manned space flights: We all know the words, “One small step for (a) man; one giant leap for mankind,” but no one on Earth would have heard Neil Armstrong say them on July 21, 1969, if not for Goddard.
The space shuttle has been vital in humanity’s ability to reach beyond Earth’s horizon. The 135 orbiter flights have not merely taken humans to space: They have carried satellites, telescopes, science experiments and more. Among Atlantis’s final contributions is the Robotic Refueling Mission, developed at Goddard. Atlantis will bring this module to the International Space Station, where it will provide key support in maintaining future spacecrafts for years to come. STS-135 astronauts traveled to Goddard to complete special training for these robotics, a major component of the final shuttle mission. RRM is one of dozens of Goddard payloads to travel aboard orbiters into space throughout the 30-year flight history of the Shuttle Program.
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center enables NASA’s mission through four scientific endeavors: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Solar System Exploration, and Astrophysics. Goddard plays a leading role in NASA’s accomplishments by contributing compelling scientific knowledge to advance the Agency’s mission.

For our this years #BritArmyAndFriendsReunion @CosmicConEvent in Manchester on 06./07.June 2015 I decided to proceed with my tradition of creating a special design for our group and get it printed on badges and T-Shirts being worn and shared with others and posters to be signed by all of us.
@Twitter @cosmicconevent
FB: www.facebook.com/cosmicconevent
Little did I know about how things would develop then:
During our holiday on Big Island / Hawai’i we met the incredibly talented Jon Lomberg and he gave us a private tour through one of his wonderful projects: #GalaxyGarden ( www.galaxygarden.net )
Jon is one of the world's most distinguished artists inspired by astronomy.
From 1972 until Carl Sagan's death in 1996, he illustrated most of Sagan's books and magazine articles, and he was Chief Artist for Sagan's classic television series. For his work on #COSMOS Jon received in 1981 a Prime Time EMMY Award for "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Creative Technical Crafts".
With the #VoyagerGoldenRecord Jon and his team have created some of the most unusual, durable, and far-flung artifacts ever produced by the human species.
The design for the cover of the Voyager Interstellar Record, predicted to last for over a thousand million years, may be the longest lived piece of human art ever made.
(Just typing this gives me goosebumps)
www.jonlomberg.com/profile.htmlhttp://en.m.wikipedia.org/...
Meeting this great artist in person, whom I always deeply admired and whose work is breathtakingly beautiful and who is inspiring so many people all around our beautiful blue dot touched me deeply inside.
Jon’s work made history already decades ago and still is a fundamental part of #SpaceExploration of mankind.
Talking about many things like space, art and projects like his #GalaxyGarden etc. was amazing.
The latest project of Jon and his team is a crowdfunding campaign to create a self-portrait of humanity to send to the stars on NASA's #Pluto mission #NewHorizons.
This campaign is an invitation to all humans to join this amazing project and become part of our global message.

I fell in love with that campaign immediately, so after our meeting the idea of integrating the #VoyagerGoldenRecord2.0 in my design grew in me.
After completion I send my painting to Jon as I wanted to dedicate it to his project. His reply left me deeply touched and honored, reading that he loves it and would like to share it with his friends.
Like a friend lately said so perfectly:
"Heroes you admired appreciating your work…priceless."
I am delighted to say that my design now even includes a dedication of Jon himself, inviting all of us to #SpeakForEarth together.
And all of us can share our voice and thoughts and build a huge mosaic of our beautiful #BlueDot which then will be sent to #OuterSpace digitally in the near future by Jon's global team and I am curious to see how humankind defines itself these days and what kind of message we will leave in that time capsule - also for our future generations.
I feel like having received an invitaion to a #EndlessGlobalSpaceTweetup - #Spaceholix travelling through space and time TOGETHER.
So I hope YOU will join, support and share this project.
#TheMoreTheMerrier
Here are the details behind my design:
COSMICCON BADGE DETAILS:
* #SPACEHOLIX #ReachingBeyondTheStars
I created this @Spaceholix logo and catchphrase for my lanyards for last years @SpacefestVI in Pasadena/ US and #AlexTweetup in Baikonur, an epic trip, where we met the generation of moonwalkers as well as the generation of #Shenanigans2009 @Astro_Alex ( #BlueDot) and @AstroSamantha ( #Futura) – the @esa astronauts who launched to #ISS together with their US and Russian crewmates last year.
#Spaceholix include ALL people sharing their love of our stars and beyond during special events as well as via Social Media - hence all of us are circling around all planets of our solar system
* LOGO IN WIDMANSTÄTTEN STRUCTURE
The Widmanstätten structure honors all #Meteorite hunters out there, especially our dear friend and speaker at @CosmicConEvent,
@GeoffNotkin, the inspiring #RockHound and host of @MeteoriteMen ( meteoritemen.com )
as well as their brand new show @MHUnlimited ( www.meteoritehuntersunlimited.com ) the world premiere of which will be shown during @CosmicConEvent.
It is because of Geoff, that I fell in love with #SpaceRocks and his exceptional way to fascinate and inspire people.
He rocks #STEM and even more #STEAM like no one else and is truly one of a kind.
* COSMICCON-ROCKET - PASSING BY ALL OUR PLANETS FROM MERKUR TO NEPTUN AND OUR EX-PLANET #PLUTO

Asplund's Holy Cross Chapel and crematorium (1935-1940), a stripped-classical affair two decades and a world removed from the vernacular of the Woodland Chapel, but very much in step with the trends of the 1930s. We didn't get inside and my close-up shots were all lousy exposures, so please see Ken's and Seier's shots, which suggest a greater complexity and sensitivity than seen in many works of this style and era. I am reminded also of Eliel Saarinen's late work at Cranbrook, among other things. The spatial sensibility is Modern - think Mies, early or late - but it's divorced from the dogmatic attitude about materials which might grouse at what is obviously a steel skeleton, displaying itself as cut marble. Asplund was of a generation and mindset that could sidestep that quagmire and focus on spatial and emotional effects; later, people like Kahn would struggle to integrate these approaches but invariably come up with something much heavier in their efforts to find "honesty" in spanning openings.
The big granite cross (1939) is also Asplund. See introductory comments on the cemetery here.

I don't know if Crowded House were on tour in the UK when the songs four seasons in one day and weather with you were written but it wouldn't surprise me. I thought I was on for a glorious sunset but that big old ball of gas was teasing and I trudged home. En route my inner child was taken by the kite waving in the wind to scare the birds and I watched it for a while before moving on again. The light was now low and as I carried on to my left there was suddenly this giant face looking at me from the trees. Never have I been equally in awe of a piece of art as I have been startled in the same breath. Hopefully I will get a shot when there is better light as I don't think this quite does it justice.
Black students in Poolesville, Maryland in Montgomery County board a school bus September 5, 1956 for a ride home as the first schools were integrated in the county following the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision.
The integration and equalization of education opportunity has proved elusive in the years following the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision outlawing so-called “separate but equal” facilities.
Initial desegregation orders produced less than the promise of equal education. Twenty years after the Supreme Court decision, federal court orders to achieve equal educational opportunity through school busing also produced little as relatively wealthier white parents moved out of counties and cities where busing was ordered, depriving local jurisdictions of tax revenue and thwarting integration of schools.

HUMPHREYS GARRISON — One can sum up the United States’ relationship with the Republic of Korea with the phrase “Kapchi Kapshida,” or “We Go Together,” but nothing really encapsulates the alliance like a good old fashioned shoot-from-the-hip combined field training exercise, like the one at Tactical Assembly Area Tom, south of Wonju, Sept. 28 and 29.
From the planning stages, to the actual carrying out of the mission, one thing reigns clear – the ROK and U.S. combined fighting forces are training to “Fight Tonight.”
Lt. Col. Erik Gilbert, commander of 2nd Assault Battalion, 2nd Aviation Regiment, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, is fully aware of this need to be prepared to roll out at a moment’s notice, making it a priority upon taking command to conduct as much high-speed combined training as possible.
Gilbert’s most recent initiative to further prepare his “Wildcard” battalion involved the integration of Charlie Company, 2-2 Avn. and ROK Soldiers from the 37th ROK Infantry Division, located in Jeung-Pyeong, in a mission to sling load four ROK 105 mm Howitzers to U.S. UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.
The howitzers were then transferred to a remote location known as Tactical Assembly Area Tom, south of Wonju, via the Black Hawks. Once there, the ROK Soldiers unhooked the weapons and fired blank rounds at various strategic locations, which guerrilla forces could use if war ever broke out.
