After some time off this series for other work and travel, I spent the week chipping away at this second large sketch to be translated as a vector art piece.
It is now well over six feet high and becoming cumbersome to photograph.

The Minuteman Program
A product of the Cold War and the developing strategy of nuclear deterrence, the U.S. Air Force's Minuteman program started in 1962 with the LGM 30 Minuteman I. This weapon system was the United States first land-based Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) to use solid fuel rather than liquid, allowing it to be launch-ready at all times-much like the legendary minutemen of the Revolutionary War. Immediate strike capability permitted the United States to execute a counterattack in the event of a nuclear strike.
Since its Introduction, the Minuteman has undergone several updates, with the Minuteman III in use today as the country's only land-based ICBM. At each stage of the Minuteman's life, Hill Air Force Base has been and continues to be a part of the production, management, maintenance, and overhaul of this platform. Listed below are some of the major Minuteman III support missions that exist on HilI AFB:
Minuteman III Systems Directorate, formerly the ICBM Systems Directorate and assigned to the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, is responsible for "cradle-to-grave” systems management-to include acquisition, fleet administration, storage and transportation, equipment replacement, and systems modification direction. Overall, this unit focuses on maintaining the operational readiness of the aging Minuteman III system.
Little Mountain Test Facility is a state-of-the-art laboratory dedicated to simulation testing of nuclear hardness, survivability, reliability and electromagnetic compatibility of defense systems. The 1,000-acre facility is located 15 miles west of Ogden on 12th Street, near the Great Salt Lake.
Strategic Missile Integration Complex conducts system-level testing and integration. It consists of a fully configured Minuteman III silo and launch control center. Here, Minuteman IIl hardware or software is tested prior to fielding at operational units.
309th Missile Maintenance Group tests, maintains and modernizes Minuteman III systems on the Installation and at missile sites across the country, Efforts Include work conducted on support vehicles, silos, launch control centers, missiles, and more. Direction for this work is provided by the Minuteman III Systems Directorate.
Launch Control Center
Providing launch capabilities for a flight of ICBMS and buried thirty feet below the surface is the Launch Control Center (LCC). The LCC is the epicenter for monitoring and control of Minuteman ICBMS. Each LCC is responsible for a minimum of 10 missiles, but can monitor and launch up to 50. Every LCC is on continuOus 24/7 alert and manned with Air Force personnel. A typical shift for the two-officer crew in an LCC lasts 24 hours, however, it is not uncommon for the launch crews to stay manned at their LCC for 48-72 hours at a time.
Besides monitoring Minuteman missiles, LCC Crews are also responsible for monitoring strategic communications and encoded messages. They write down each encoded message and decode it to determine if it is a launch order or an exercise. In the event they receive a launch order, the crews begin launch procedures and can deploy their ICBMS in a matter of minutes.
The LCC console and equipment here at the Hill Aerospace Museum came from Missouri's Whiteman AFB, and was used by the 510th Strategic Missile Squadron between the 1960s and early 1990s.
Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard
224 Western Ave, Allston, Massachusetts 02134
Exhibition Dates: October 13 – November 26, 2018
Opening Reception and Public Demonstration:
Saturday, October 13th, 2018 from 4pm – 7pm
Join us to celebrate the opening of Raise a Glass—A Contemporary Response to Animal-Shaped Vessels from the Ancient World, an exhibition at the Harvard Ceramics Program that is inspired by the Harvard Art Museums’ current special exhibition, Animal-Shaped Vessels from the Ancient World: Feasting with Gods, Heroes, and Kings.
On view from October 13 through November 26, 2018, Raise a Glass features contemporary ceramic artists responding to the elaborate vessels featured in the Animal-Shaped Vessels exhibition. Fourteen internationally recognized contemporary sculptors and vessel makers were invited to seek inspiration in subject matter, form, function and/or culture of origin from these ancient vessels, which illustrate how shapes, artistic forms, ideas, and traditions have exchanged across borders throughout time.
During the opening reception, the public will have the chance to enrich their viewing experience through a hands-on encounter with materials and process. Artists from the Harvard Ceramics Program will demonstrate the use of ceramic press molds developed for research purposes for Harvard Art Museums curators. Participants will be invited to try press molding their own terracotta animal-head drinking vessels.
The intent of Raise a Glass is for artists to work with the time-honored materials of ceramic, metal, and glass to honor and provide a complementary view into the mind of ancient makers represented in the Harvard Art Museums exhibition.
Included artists:
Natalia Arbelaez
Bruce Armitage
Jessica Brandl
John Byrd
Pattie Chalmers
Richard W. James
Salvador Jiménez-Flores
Kate MacDowell
Jenny Mendes
Mia Riley
Adam Shiverdecker
Kevin Snipes

Raise a Glass is curated by Kathy King, Director of Education at the Ceramics Program and is co-sponsored by the Harvard Ceramics Program and the Harvard Art Museums, in conjunction with Animal-Shaped Vessels from the Ancient World: Feasting with Gods, Heroes and Kings, on view at the Harvard Art Museums from September 7, 2018 through January 6, 2019.
This opening reception and public demonstration will take place at the Harvard Ceramics Program, 224 Western Avenue, Allston.
Support for this event—as well as crucial support for the exhibition—has been provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the Human Endeavor. In addition, the Harvard Art Museums are deeply grateful to the anonymous donor of a gift in memory of Melvin R. Seiden and to Malcolm H. Wiener (Harvard A.B. ’57, J.D. ’63) and Michael and Helen Lehmann for enabling us to mount this exhibition and to pursue the related research. This work was also made possible in part by the following endowed funds: the David M. Robinson Fund; the Andrew W. Mellon Publication Funds, including the Henry P. McIlhenny Fund; and the M. Victor Leventritt Fund, which brings outstanding scholars of the history and theory of art to the Harvard and Greater Boston communities through the generosity of the wife, children, and friends of the late M. Victor Leventritt, Harvard Class of 1935.

Del 10 de febrero al 30 de julio. Abierto x Obras. Matadero Madrid.
Matadero Madrid presenta Visita guiada, una intervención site specific que ha realizado Elena Alonso (Madrid, 1981) para el programa Abierto x Obras, que tiene lugar en la antigua cámara frigorífica del que fue el matadero de Legazpi. La propuesta de la artista parte de la idea de encontrarnos en una cámara aislada, donde no existe apenas comunicación entre el interior y el exterior, y del concepto de conservación, que ha estado ligado a este espacio a lo largo de su historia.
Tras sucesivas visitas a la nave, la artista comenzó a fijarse en toda la información visual que había quedado plasmada en paredes y techos. Lo que más llamó su atención fueron una serie de agujeros repartidos por la cubierta de las naves laterales, clausurados en la última reforma.
La intervención propone un recorrido por la nave utilizando como guía un pasamanos. Una línea trazada en el plano como un dibujo, que en esta ocasión toma forma escultórica. Su elaboración con distintos materiales, como madera, cemento, corcho, escayola pintada o cobre, pone de manifiesto el interés de la artista por la artesanía y el diseño, y ofrecen al visitante el deleite a la vista y al tacto de los materiales trabajados.
En la penumbra de la nave encontramos esta particular guía que nos lleva a descubrir una nueva perspectiva del espacio. Los agujeros han sido reabiertos, por ellos entra la luz y se vislumbra otra galería superior, antes oculta a la mirada del visitante.
En esta intervención artística hallamos un juego de contrastes, de impedimentos y de posibilidades. En cierta manera, recuerda a las cuevas visitables donde el recorrido nos va mostrando la particular geomorfología que conserva en su ambiente antes estático. En este caso, la cuidada elaboración del pasamanos contrasta con la brutalidad del espacio.
El pasamanos es a su vez una guía y una barrera, una línea que sortea y adorna la arquitectura de la nave. Una pieza que podemos ver y tocar, y que nos lleva a descubrir un lugar inesperado sobre nuestras cabezas, pero que solo podemos llegar a entrever desde la distancia.
Elena Alonso (Madrid, 1981) Licenciada en Bellas Artes y Máster en Arte, Creación e Investigación por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, ha realizado también estudios en Suecia y Helsinki. Desarrolla su trabajo principalmente mediante el dibujo, relacionándolo con otras disciplinas como la arquitectura, la artesanía o el diseño, y prestando especial atención a las problemáticas vinculadas a la afectividad con el entorno. Ha expuesto de forma individual en el Museo ABC (El espacio alrededor, 2016); Espacio Valverde (Canto Blando, 2016; Composición de lugar, 2014; La tapadera, 2012); en la Sala de Arte Joven de la Comunidad de Madrid (2011); y en la Cable Factory de Helsinki (Paredes de piel, 2007).
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que invita a artistas a realizar una pieza de nueva producción incentivando el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero. Una sala de más de 800 metros cuadrados que todavía conserva su aspecto original y las huellas de un incendio sucedido en los años 90. Un espacio característico por su estructura diáfana de arcos volados y columnas. Desde 2007, Abierto x Obras ha acogido las intervenciones de artistas como Daniel Canogar, Jannis Kounnellis, Román Signer, Carlos Garaicoa, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, Jordi Colomer, Los Carpinteros, Cristina Lucas, Eugenio Ampudia o Darya von Berner, entre otros.
