Statement of Significance (as of designation - December 19, 1960):
Fort Snelling (begun in 1820) was the first American fort in modern Minnesota, an important post on the edge of European-American settlement in the Old Northwest; additionally, it played a significant role in the transformation of the US Army from a small frontier force to that of a major modern army. The fort expanded several times, one of the largest expansions dating from the 1880s to the early 1900s and dubbed "New Fort Snelling". It was at that time (after the Civil War), that Fort Snelling served as the headquarters and supply base for the Department of Dakota. There was another huge development at the Fort during WWII when the fort processed over 300,000 inductees and trained soldiers, though that development is now occupied by the Minneapolis airport.

Artists' Statement: "We did a visual arts project about the conflict between the Arabs and the Jews in Israel. There are two parts to our project. Part 1 shows what the conflict is like. Part 2 is about how we can grow through this situation into peace.
The canvas is the center of the project. It symbolizes the conflict, which is a mess for us. That’s how we see it. There will be some dirt in front of the canvas, and we’ll put a sculpture of two legs on the dirt. That symbolizes what the conflict is about: it’s about who takes the land. The legs standing symbolize power. Through the upper part of the canvas, there will be two hands we built from plaster. One is painted blue and white, like the Israeli flag; the other is painted red, white, black and green, the colors of the Palestinian flag. They’re coming through this canvas to show how we can come through this mess. The hands come through holes in the canvas. The hands are trying to shake, to show we can find a way to make peace.
Rotem: “In the beginning, it was difficult to figure out what we wanted to say. Carmith said we should think about the idea, the message you want to say. Figuring out how to put the idea into sculpture, into art, that was the easy part for me. Figuring out WHAT I wanted to say was the hard part. But I think that with brainstorming, we figured out the message, the idea, and what was similar between us.”
Andrawes: “Each of us wanted to express our own idea, wanted to put our own thinking into the project. And we each of us thought about the conflict and how to find a solution. That was the similarity between the two of us.”
The two of us understood while we were talking that both of the sides are suffering from the situation. If you think about the war, it’s about legs on the land, it’s so physical. All the wars we had, and all the soldiers and Palestinian people who died. Sometimes it’s just not worth it. Such a situation doesn’t make sense: it’s just land. There are so many countries that live together, cultures and religions living together in same country, on the same land. What happened to us? Something went wrong with us.
So we thought about all the suffering, and wondered why it has to happen. We don’t know how peace is going to come. We don’t know what the solution is going to be. We just want peace to be. Just want it to happen. "

My current work explores techniques and processes mainly in the painting field. I tend to have a rather controlled way of working with paint as I like working finely and moderately accurately to achieve as higher standard final outcome as possible. However, I am not afraid to experiment and I also like to work freely as this gives me the chance to express my creative ideas through art.
I recently completed a project on absence of presence with the subject being my late Grandmothers house. I had the idea for this work as we were clearing out her house ready to put it up for rent and I wanted to stage the room as though she was still there, so I slumped the cushion on arm chair, turned the reading lamp on and made a cup of tea and put it on her little table next to the chair. Along with an ash tray with some smoked cigarettes, and one on the go, there were no trinkets left in the room but just bare furniture. Once I was happy with the atmosphere I had created, I took photographs from where I would sit when visiting her and also did a series of sketches to accompany them. I photographed other rooms in the house and the photographs had an eerie presence about them. This in my opinion was my most successful project to date.
I wish to continue to develop my ideas and Fine art painting practice at a higher level.

"Whatever they say, the youth house stays!" A building that has been occupied for years on Nørrebro by radical youngsters is constantly under pressure from the local authorities. All I say is that Nørrebro would lose some of it's flavour if it were to be closed.
Note-Grids are a tool for collecting and connecting objects of thought (in this case, words).
They treat words and other manifestations of thought as objects that can be freely manipulated to create new meaning.
They break meaning up into individual words to facilitate a more fluid, intuitive, and improvisational approach to knowledge production.

One of my most awesome pieces ever: my Diversity Necklace!
While creating this AMAZING piece of wearable true art, I closed my eyes and let my inner intuition artistic spirit guide me. The result was this fully functioning expression of artistry, wearable AND also stands up by itself, thus serving as a thought-provoking necklace/art piece, and a movable mixed media sculpture.
Times Square Arts and the Cuban Artists Fund bring Aimée García Marrero, an artist respected for her play between body and restriction, and her public art installation Times of Silence that exposes the news of our day, printed and public as the body, delicately restrained by colorful hand-embroidery to the Broadway plaza between 42nd and 43rd Streets from April 29 – May 18, 2016. An unveiling will take place on Friday, April 29th at 11:00 am.
The project consists of 6 panels of collaged newspaper and embroidery threads mounted in three metal illuminated vitrines. Through this sculptural form, we see the evidence of controlled communication of national press – either as a statement of silence or as an aesthetic composition of color and form, where the viewer chooses to write an alternative daily journal. Combining New York Times and Cuban papers, Marrero shows us that news is always slightly opaque and interpretative.

@ The Note on 01/27/07, part of the Emergenza Battle of the Bands. They are my friends - fifthdisc.blogspot.com
For more than 40 years, Barbara Kruger (b. 1945 in Newark, NJ) has been a consistent, critical observer of contemporary culture. Her distinct visual language uses textual statements and images taken from mass media to create memorable artworks that investigate ideas of power, identity, consumerism, and gender.
In this new commission for the ICA, Untitled (Hope/Fear), 2022, Kruger uses the wall’s unique architecture to create a bold artwork featuring three distinct areas of text and image combinations. The largest text, “another hope, another fear,” set in the artist’s typeface of choice (Futura Bold), exemplifies the artist’s incisive ability to evoke the emotional tenor of our time, a parade of daily hopes and fears fueled by social media feeds and an ever-escalating news cycle. By repeating and replacing words, Kruger creates a cadence of text that cascades across the wall and traces the ties of power. Another area displays phrases in graphic, black-and-white bands that repeat the word “war” in different configurations (e.g., “war time, war crime, war game”), before turning to the phrase “war for a world without women.” This march of common phrases surfaces relations behind these various wars. In the concluding line “war for me to become you,” Kruger has x-ed out the pronouns “me” and “you,” confounding clear notions of who is speaking and resisting any univocal position. The final element of the work restages the text from one of Kruger’s best-known works, Untitled (Your body is a battleground), 1989, which she originally produced as a poster for the April 1989 March for Women’s Lives in Washington, DC to protest new laws limiting women’s access to health care. This newest work affirms Kruger’s status as one of the sharpest, most critical respondents to contemporary culture.

Was out for a walk today and saw the wall of statements posters were up already. Officially opens on Tuesday. You'd defiantly need to go and have a look at them in person.

Artists statement
I Love viewing the world through the different lenses of a camera. This allows me to see things I would’t otherwise notice. There are innumerable Worlds within Worlds awaiting to be discovered. The same tree stump can reveal it’s self in a bottomless assemblage of ways depending upon the light, the angle, the focus, the perspective, or the time of day.
Each varying filter of perception is fascinating; from the micro to the macro. This innate curiosity taken into the editing room is what brings me to new revelations about the places I love.
Every stone, plant, tree, and geographic location has a certain medicinal quality to it. Sometimes I’m not sure why I’m drawn to a specific location until I get into the editing room and kaleidoscope the mirror images together. It’s not until then that something is revealed. Suddenly, I’m greeting the faces of the grandfather stones that were previously invisible to me, or I’m awakened to a light that is beaming out the top of a mountain peak, or I perceive an image of the Horned Goddess Isis in the flowing streams of a nearly forgotten canyon near old ceremony grounds.
This is why I entitle my show, “Rediscovering Places.” The magic that has enchanted and captivated the imagination of writers, musicians, storytellers, explorers, shamans and the likes throughout history is unearthed; making the mystical more tangible, and in my eyes, the everyday more magical.
The word Discover comes from the latin root dis coopeire, meaning“to remove the covering.” By definition, to discover means to see or gain knowledge of something that was previously unknown; to uncover something that is already there, something that has existed but is generally unknown.
Discovery, or uncovering, is the nature of my work. Unveiling what is already present in a way that everyone can see.
