Pelavin Gallery is proud to announce a solo exhibition of recent work by American artist, Kate Beck. This show will include large scale poured oil paintings and graphite drawings on aluminum panel. This will be Beck’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, and in New York City.
In this new body of work, Beck continues her engagement with repetitive tonal rendering as a means of interaction between light and shadow, human thought and consciousness, and the dynamic architectonics of space. This time she takes the essence of form further by using aluminum substrates, allowing modulating marks of graphite and poured oil to accumulate and shift amidst the confines of the geometric shapes. Tension oscillates between formalistic geometry and existential space; an allusion to thought and consciousness, and the passage of time.

Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

Description of work: Renaissance Hotels tasked architect Jose R. Marchand and interior designer Jorge Rossello with renovating and saving this beachside landmark. "[B]y the mid-1990s the venerable La Concha hotel had been shuttered, abandoned and left to rot...Originally designed by Osvaldo Toro and Miguel Ferrer, with an eccentric but utterly loveable seashell-shaped restaurant by Mario Salvatori [sic], La Concha was a beautifully massed, expertly sited, vividly inventive building perfectly in sync with its time. Closely attuning the hotel to its sun-swept setting, the architects created deep-shading overhangs, open corridors, windows and doors that gave onto lush interior courtyards and provided cross ventilation, and beautifully lacy quiebra-sol (their take on a brise-soleil) for further modulation of the light and heat" (Frank, Michael. "La Concha Revival". Architectural Digest. Aug 2009, p. 103-104. Print).

El edificio de la Municipalidad de Santiago es la sede de la Ilustre Municipalidad de Santiago. Se encuentra en el costado norte de la Plaza de Armas, en la esquina de la calle Monjitas con el paseo 21 de Mayo, a un costado del antiguo Palacio de la Real Audiencia que hoy alberga al Museo Histórico Nacional.
Este solar fue destinado desde la fundación de Santiago a albergar un edificio público, siendo ocupado originalmente por el cabildo de la ciudad y la antigua cárcel colonial. Un primer edificio fue construido entre 1578 y 1647. En 1679 el edificio fue demolido y más tarde, entre 1785 y 1790, fue construido un segundo edificio por el arquitecto italiano Joaquín Toesca, ahora con estilos neoclasicistas.
La fachada tiene una modulación neoclásica, arcos de medio punto, balcón corrido y vanos rectangulares. Antiguamente en el eje del pórtico se elevaba una torre. La transformación posterior le dio un sello neoclásico con elementos de renacimiento italiano, un plomo nuevo marca el acceso como cuerpo central, recorriendo un balcón, conteniendo éste, tres grandes vanos enmarcados en pilastras. La planta se desarrolla en dos niveles, rodeando un hall vidriado, y un subterráneo abovedado, ocupa parte de la planta bajo nivel
Un incendio en 1891 obligó a una reconstrucción realizada por el arquitecto Eugène Joannon. El tercer edificio del solar –que se conserva hasta la actualidad fue inaugurado en 1895 y oficialmente declarado como sede de la administración comunal. En el año 1976 fue declarado Monumento Histórico.

The Santiago Municipality building is the headquarters of the Illustrious Municipality of Santiago. It is located on the north side of the Plaza de Armas, on the corner of Monjitas Street and Paseo 21 de Mayo, next to the old Palace of the Royal Court that today houses the National Historical Museum.
Since the founding of Santiago, this site was intended to house a public building, originally occupied by the city council and the old colonial prison. A first building was built between 1578 and 1647. In 1679 the building was demolished and later, between 1785 and 1790, a second building was built by the Italian architect Joaquín Toesca, now with neoclassicist styles.
The façade has a neoclassical modulation, semicircular arches, a continuous balcony and rectangular openings. Formerly, a tower stood on the axis of the portico. The subsequent transformation gave it a neoclassical seal with Italian Renaissance elements, a new lead marks the access as a central body, running along a balcony, which contains three large openings framed in pilasters. The floor plan is developed on two levels, surrounding a glazed hall, and a vaulted basement, occupying part of the ground floor.
A fire in 1891 forced a reconstruction by the architect Eugène Joannon. The third building on the site – which is preserved to this day – was inaugurated in 1895 and officially declared the headquarters of the communal administration. In 1976 it was declared a Historical Monument.

The Roland AX-Synth's play controls: the Modulation Bar is a push-in "button" and the Touch Controller serves, among other uses, as a pitch ribbon. Thanks to this layout, playing both controls at the same time feels very natural (and not just if you have a guitar or bass background), even more so than some more common pitch/mod controls found on synth keyboards.
In addition, there's Roland's signature D Beam controller as well as a pair of octave-shift buttons, and two small pots for adjusting after-touch and volume with your thumb.
Pittsburgh Generator
A dual oscillator built around two triangle core, wide range, periodic waveform generators. As a multipurpose signal generator, it can provide the basis of a wide range of complex sounds ideal for tuned percussion/noise, abrasive amplitude, frequency and timbral modulation. Tones, drones, textures, and drums to atonal, nintendo zipper/fart noises. This module was made for FM madness.
Here you can watch the fade-on effect as each time interval elapses (set to 6 seconds instead of 10 minutes during the prototyping and construction phase), and then the flip to the other hour indicator when the "hour" rolls over.
The fade is accomplished using PWM (pulse-width modulation), the method by which you make a digital (on/off) device like an LED act in an analog fashion (variable brightness). PWM means the LED is quickly switching between on and off, so fast that you don't see the flickr. If the "on" period is the same duration as the "off" period--that is, 50/50--then the LED looks half as bright as a regular LED. If it spends a little more time off than on, then it will look dimmer yet. The Arduino comes with six pins already set up to take care of the PWM effect for you; you can write to the pins as if they were analog, so that's what I'm using here. In the Arduino program (called a "sketch"), I increase the brightness value inside a loop, and the LED fades on.
Understanding the generic definition of painting as a coloured drawing, digital painting in contrast to all form of traditional painting can be characterized in two singular aspects. The first one, taken from the model of indirect method, establishes a particular process of additive and subtractive relationships through the superimposition and interaction of multiple layers subject not only to the phenomena of reflected light, such is the case of traditional veil painting, but also projected light. On the other hand, the aleatoric nature of digital process involves by definition, the use of second generation image. This fusion of a pictorial work through a concept of indirect method and graphic work through the use of second generation images opens a new field of visual exploration where its versatility has predetermined in the last decades, a creative pool of exponential growth.
The images above illustrate a basic methodology of how to begin understanding the fundamentals of digital painting as an image building process. In its initial phase, the artist has created a series of mixed media drawings on polycarbonate film specially formulated to be receptive to a wide range of drawing materials such as: graphite, charcoal, prisma color, rubbing ink, India ink, Tusche ink, litho crayon and any form of pigment and vehicle which reacts to the hydroscopic qualities inherent to the granulation of the mentioned substrate.
The monochromatic images or original drawings on the top left have been divided in two genres. The first two columns are washes where depending on the viscosity of its vehicle, the pigment will reticulate in different patterns. From the old traditions of continuous tone lithography, Tusche ink (high density pigment ink) has been the trademark of many artists in how to achieve various forms of textures and tectonic qualities. The same way we can observe above, the difference between a lacquer thinner wash and turpentine wash with alcohol applications. In contrast, the right hand columns exemplify subtractive techniques with charcoal drawing and #1-#7calibrated litho crayon halftone drawing.
In the lower portion, we observe the same drawings which have been digitalized in quadtone modality where the artist assigns to each channel a specific chromatic and tonal value. Understanding the nature of digital work with millions of colours the possibilities are infinite. In order to schematize the process, the artist divides tonal scale in four areas, shadows or low tones, lower halftones, higher halftones and highlights. By curvature effect each tonal area of the image is assigned to a specific value. In this preliminary stage of digital colorations, the artist’s decisions are somehow predetermined by the additive and subtractive relationships which will take place later on.
The final image on the right hand side or B.A.T., abbreviation taken from the French expression: “bon-à-tirer” meaning: “right to print” is an example when all four drawings have been superimposed and interacted by layers. The multiple relationships of layer interaction which can be established in addition to the use of mask, filters and tonal modulation constitutes the true potential creativity inherent to the use of second generation images.

Four CD4093 oscillators with per-oscillator modulation inputs and outputs. Requires your tetanus shots to be up-to-date.
I am building a 10 watt linear amplifier for my FT817ND. Currently this puts out about 1.5 watts of amplitude modulation. But this linear amplifier ( built from an old Walford kit ) will boost the power to 10 watts. I am hoping to have some AM QSOs using it on 80 and 160 metres. The linear is currently still on the bench, but it works - you put 1.5 watts in - and lots of power comes out! Because I have little spare time it will take months to complete the project, but I hope it will be on the air by the end of 2014!

ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN), a leading global supplier of high performance, energy efficient, silicon solutions has introduced eight new power MOSFET devices specifically designed for medium voltage switching applications. These MOSFETs are ideal for use in DC motor drives, LED drivers, power supplies, converters, pulse width modulation (PWM) controls and bridge circuits where diode speed and commutating safe operating areas are crucial and benefit from an additional safety margin against unexpected voltage transients that these devices provide.
W. Herbert Dunton American 1878 - 1936
Illustration—Scene of Cowboy Life (Rodeo), 1914
Oil on canvas
“Buck” Dunton’s oil sketch demonstrates his ability to capture an impression of bucking horses. The loose application of paint and the careful modulation of tones focus attention on the skilled rider. The raised hand serves to preserve his balance as the newly-saddled horse tries in vain to throw the cowboy. Dunton painted monochromatic scenes that were easily reproduced as halftone images in cheap pulp magazines early in the twentieth century. His popularity as an illustrator of horse imagery coincided with the height of the cowboy as a folk hero in popular magazines and dime novels. …… JT ,/b>

Alain Wergifosse, l'ancien Belge des scènes experimentales de Barcelone est revenu chercher sous nos brumes et grisailles l'inspiration pour ses nouveaux projets sonores et visuels. La bas il à travaillé avec son power-trio Obmuz, avec Nad Spiro, Macromassa, Marcel.li Antunez, Cluster, Zbigniew Karkoski, Francisco Lopez et bien d'autres. il à aussi co-organisé les festivals NONOlogic avec Eli Gras et le LEM de GTS.
Il s'installe pendant 6 semaines a la Gare Bruxelles-Congrès qu'il inondera de sons bizarres, d'architectures impossibles, d'ondes radio en très basses fréquences, de microscopies, de modulations lumineuses, d'érosions, de perturbations électro-magnétiques, de quelques dichroïsmes et d'autres abérrations temporaires des champs sensoriels dans une exposition/installation sonore/résidence/atelier en work in progress qui évoluera semaine a semaine pour aboutir le 18 février en un concert bien bruiteux mettant tout l'espace en résonance où Alain Wergiosse fera chanter les trains et flipper les rats.
Alain Wergifosse, Belg die geruime tijd in de experimentele scene van Barcelona actief was, is naar zijn grijs en nevelig thuisland teruggekeerd om er inspiratie te vinden voor zijn nieuwe klank- en beeldprojecten. In Spanje werkte hij met zijn power-trio Obmuz, met Nad Spiro, Macromassa, Marcel.li Antunez, Cluster, Zbigniew Karkoski, Francisco Lopez en anderen. Hij organiseerde ook mee het festival NONOlogic met Eli Gras en het LEM van GTS.
Gedurende 6 weken zal hij het station Brussel Congres innemen en bespelen. We krijgen onbestaande architectuur te zien, microscopische beelden, erosies, lichtmodulatie, electromagnetische golven worden hoorbaar gemaakt. Het geheel is één groot ‘work in progress’ (atelier/tentoonstelling/residentie) dat zijn publiek toonmoment zal kennen op 18 februari in een luidruchtig klankexperiment/concert dat de hele ruimte zal doen weerklinken als een instrument. Alain Wergifosse zal de treinen doen zingen en de ratten doen flippen.

Review board divided on Vulcan's ‘two-tower' design for new tower
By BRIAN MILLER
Journal Staff Reporter
After the April design review for its planned 44-story 5th & Lenora tower, Vulcan Real Estate did not expect to have a third meeting. However another review has been set for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 10 at City Hall, 600 5th Ave., Room 190.
The site is at 2025 Fifth Ave. in Belltown.
The basic program by architect Ankrom Moisan is about the same: 463 units, 315 parking spaces on seven underground levels and about 3,300 square feet of retail/commercial space. Total rentable area is 478,000 square feet, and the total size is about 620,000 square feet.
What's at issue, says Ankrom Moisan, is that the “board was split on the resolution of the two-tower concept.”
There is only one tower, of course. But the “two-tower” scheme divides it into two vertical aspects: one with brighter silver cladding and stepped “trays” facing east toward Fifth; the other darker and more vertical, with less relief or modulation, facing west toward the alley, the Warwick Hotel and Elliott Bay
The board report issued in May says, “The majority of the members thought the concept needed more integration between the two tower forms… while two members were satisfied with design as shown. The design question on the table was the integration of the dark, straight tower and the sliding trays tower forms.”
Ankrom Moisan says the tension between the two forms creates “dynamic contrast.” Another design cue is the “cascade” effect, meaning that the tower and pedestal have trays that shift and twist like the stones in a waterfall. These also create landscaped terraces on the lower floors.
The cascade and terraces would be most apparent to a pedestrian standing outside the Palace Ballroom, looking southwest at the silvery Fifth and Lenora corner of Vulcan's tower. Monorail passengers would have the same view. To the west, on the alley, the 18-story Warwick presents a blank facade, with no windows. From a boat on Elliott Bay, 5th & Lenora would appear to be more of a charcoal color.
For the upcoming July meeting, Ankrom Moisan is offering three responses to the divided board. First, the same design from April. Second, extend the silvery trays west, to reduce the contrast. Third, lose the charcoal color, and make the building uniformly silver.
Two possible treatments for the roof deck are also being presented, with relatively minor differences.
Vulcan paid about $27.4 million to assemble the 19,434-square-foot site on the southwest corner of Fifth and Lenora Street. Vulcan intends for 5th & Lenora to achieve LEED platinum certification, and meet salmon-safe certification. The project is proceeding under Mandatory Housing Affordability rules, yielding four extra floors for a $4.2 million fee. The tower would have been only 40 floors without MHA.
Since planning and site assembly began in 2016 for 5th & Lenora, plans for a new neighbor to the south have begun to emerge. Chainqui Development is planning a 44-story tower at 2005 Fifth Ave., on the corner of Virginia Street. The podium for Chainqui's tower, designed by GWest, will be 16 feet from Vulcan's.
Chainqui had requested approval for the tower separation to be only 60 feet instead of 80 above the podium. In its December report, the design review board denied that request.
Chainqui also must preserve the facades of the Sheridan Apartments and Griffin Building, further complicating its plans. Vulcan, by contrast, is building on parking lots and removing the old Nara Grill building.
Vulcan's 5th & Lenora team also includes PCL Construction, general contractor; Site Workshop, landscape architect; Coughlin Porter Lundeen, civil and structural engineer; Ecotope, mechanical and plumbing engineer; Rushing, electrical engineer; O'Brien & Co., sustainability consultant; RDH, building envelope; A3 Acoustics; and Fortune Shepler Saling, elevators.
Listen: A Music and Video Experiment
Featured video art and experimental music throughout the Murphy Art Center -- including Alchemy in Suite 3, Suite 4 next door and multiple spaces upstairs near Big Car. www.bigcar.org
Friday, March 6, 2009.
Big Car's First Friday show for March featured a bevy of local, regional, national and international video and sound artists. All of the music accompanied video art projections. The night included a show of Herron video artists in Suite 214 next door to Big Car (see artist statements below), a program of experimental videos from other local artists in Suite 3 and 4 on street level (J. Andrew Salyer, Jennie Mynhier, Laura Salyer, Jim Walker, Flounder Lee) and a Microcinema screening (FATELESS, Color + Modulation, SLIDE, Hub Culture Retrospectives: Antarctica, Independent Exposure: Asthmatic Kitty Records Edition 2008, The Collected Films of Ryan Jeffery, Op Art, Modular Moves, Jellies: The Art of Nature) also in Suite 214. For more about Microcinema visit www.microcinema.com.
The night's musical offerings in Suite 215 (Big Car's regular space) and in other nearby spaces included performances by Butler University's Ensemble 48 (playing a soundtrack to the silent film "Man with the Movie Camera"), Marck Ferrari, Ben Ishmael Revival, Shiny Black Shirt, Sea Krowns, Ensemble 48, Actuel, Playboy Psychonauts, Stallio, Sky Thing and Tonos Triad.
Also in the street level space that night, Big Car also hosted the installation "Unified Fields" that featured the interactive music and art of duo Mana2 (Jordan Munson, Michael Drews).
The event was sponsored by Microcinema and was a partnership with the Toby at the IMA.
Ween has always occurred to me as a musical chameleon. You want thrashy, idiotic punk? Ween can do that. Do you want a moving, emotional ballad? Ween can do that, too. Do you want an obviously drug-fueled voyage into dissonant sound and grating, nonsensical vocals? Ween can serve that up hot with a side of grits.So, it shouldnt seem strange that Ween can do country, and country is what you get in 12 Golden Country Greats. Now, country is a genre of music I tend to admire from afar - I never want to get too close, lest I start feeling urges to square-dance with a ten-gallon hat and tight jeans. So having Ween do a country album gave me the excuse to get into country, even if it was largely the Ween version. But then again, a little parody never hurt anyone, and this album is a must for Ween fans and anyone who wants a little absurdity with their country.Ween pulls off the endeavor by bringing in a bunch of ringers (some of whom they name during songs), who obviously have the whole country thing down to a T. Although Dean Ween is by all accounts one of the most talented guitar-Gods around (or, at least, by all my accounts), he probably couldnt handle a steel guitar too well, so Ween took this concept to its logical conclusion and brought in fiddlers, steel guitarists, a drummer, etc., which give almost all the tracks a good, solid grounding in the basics of the genre. The Ween-ness is brought in courtesy of the lyrics; for a Ween album, the vocals are mostly straight and modulation-free, so its up to the lyrical content to remind you that yes, these are the same guys behind such timeless classics as Touch My Tooter and Fat Lenny.The lyrics make the album, sometimes going light on the absurdity (Japanese Cowboy, Powder Blue) to laying it on thick (You Were the Fool, Im Holding You) to just being downright hilarious (Piss Up a Rope, Help Me Scrape the Mucous Off My Brain). For Ween fans, I suspect, the lyrics are where its at, because even after you know what Ween is going to say in a given song, its still somehow fresh and funny the tenth time you hear it. The lyrics shine for most of the time in 12 Golden Country Greats, with comedy being the main aim, though sometimes the only joke is hey, look, were doing country!Musically, the songs are generally catchy and well-paced. Since I dont know country very well, I can only postulate that the songs reflect a range of country styles within country itself - nowhere is this more apparent than in the cheerfully homophobic Mister Richard Smoker, which seems to be plucked out of the days of ragtime, and the almost normal I Dont Want to Leave You On the Farm, which I can only assume is closer to bluegrass. I could be wrong, but I dont really care. The only song that really drags for the casual listener not familiar with Weens forays into the lengthy, annoying song that never seems to end (Black Jack, anyone?) is Fluffy. But Fluffy is probably the funniest piece here, and sucks you in to its world of lazy front porches and excited dogs with its slow-motion, warped approach.So, overall, this album is musically solid, lyrically brilliant, funny, and delightfully misnamed. Where the remaining two golden country greats went, only Ween knows, but Gene and Dean turn in a 10-song tribute/mockery of country that stands out as being both authentic and ridiculous. On a personal note, I was once dating a girl who was a true country fan. Wondering if she might like this album, I played it for her. She was horrified. But, as I said before, if youre a fan of Ween, this album cannot be missed, or left on the farm. For More 5 Star Reviews 12 Golden Country Greats [Explicit]
