Download or read book Ellen Harvey The Disappointed Tourist written by Christian Viveros-Fauné and published by Snoeck Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-07-24 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her work, New York-based British artist Ellen Harvey makes use of a traditional painterly vocabulary for her strategy of appropriation, whereby she methodically juxtaposes mapping, pasticcio, and institutional critique. For her first solo presentation in Austria and the publication at hand, The Disappointed Tourist, she has chosen the cosmoramas by Hubert Sattler at the Panoramamuseum in Salzburg as inspiration for her question as formulated online: "Is there a place that you have always wanted to visit or revisit that no longer exists?" The locations suggested by the users meanwhile form a cycle of two hundred paintings; they show, for instance, postcard views of the Buddha statues of Bamiyan, which were blown up by the Taliban in 2001 at the outset of the war in Afghanistan, and of Coney Island amusement park in 1943, which burned down the following year. This is how Ellen Harvey enters into dialogue with her audience; topics such as war, racism, ecological catastrophes, and technological change arise quite naturally, even if it is just about one' s personal favorite place.

Book excerpt: In this publication, Ellen Harvey restores the ties between the city of Bruges and the harbor. In a new installation, behind a mirrored wall punctuated with peepholes, Harvey has hung a selection of paintings dating from the seventeenth- to the early twentieth-century, all of which belong to the reserve collection. Her work is an invitation to rediscover these rarely seen artworks. The paintings of the city, the canals, and the sea are reflected in the panorama on the opposite wall: Harvey's painted maps (2.75 x 21 meter) based on satellite images. The elaborate waterways, executed in mirrored glass, demonstrate the importance of the rivers and canals for the city. Text in English and Dutch.

Download or read book Ellen Harvey written by Ellen Harvey and published by Gregory R. Miller. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvey’s latest major work combines the interests and forms of her recent projects. The ongoing Museum of Failure (2007– )—a new elaboration of which is part of the Biennial—includes Collection of Impossible Subjects, a rear-illuminated plexiglass mirror wall hand-engraved with a salon-style exhibition of ornately framed, sandedout rectangles. Visible through an opening in one of them is Invisible Self-Portrait in My Studio, a painting of an identical collection of frames, except that these hold paintings based on photographs the artist took of herself in a mirror where the image is obliterated by the camera’s flash. It is a nuanced twin bill that probes conventional wisdom about the artist and the museum, about making and seeing. 00Exhibition: Whitney, New York, USA (2008- ).
Download or read book Haunting Experiences written by Diane Goldstein and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2007-09-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are widely represented throughout modern culture. They can be found in any number of entertainment, commercial, and other contexts, but popular media or commodified representations of ghosts can be quite different from the beliefs people hold about them, based on tradition or direct experience. Personal belief and cultural tradition on the one hand, and popular and commercial representation on the other, nevertheless continually feed each other. They frequently share space in how people think about the supernatural. In Haunting Experiences, three well-known folklorists seek to broaden the discussion of ghost lore by examining it from a variety of angles in various modern contexts. Diane E. Goldstein, Sylvia Ann Grider, and Jeannie Banks Thomas take ghosts seriously, as they draw on contemporary scholarship that emphasizes both the basis of belief in experience (rather than mere fantasy) and the usefulness of ghost stories. They look closely at the narrative role of such lore in matters such as socialization and gender. And they unravel the complex mix of mass media, commodification, and popular culture that today puts old spirits into new contexts.

This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.

Download or read book Creating the National Park Service written by Horace M. Albright and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two men played a crucial role in the creation and early history of the National Park Service: Stephen T. Mather, a public relations genius of sweeping vision, and Horace M. Albright, an able lawyer and administrator who helped transform that vision into reality. In Creating the National Park Service, Albright and his daughter, Marian Albright Schenck, reveal the previously untold story of the critical "missing years" in the history of the service. During this period, 1917 and 1918, Mather's problems with manic depression were kept hidden from public view, and Albright, his able and devoted assistant, served as acting director and assumed Mather's responsibilities. Albright played a decisive part in the passage of the National Park Service Organic Act of 1916; the formulation of principles and policies for management of the parks; the defense of the parks against exploitation by ranchers, lumber companies, and mining interests during World War I; and other issues crucial to the future of the fledgling park system. This authoritative behind-the-scenes history sheds light on the early days of the most popular of all federal agencies while painting a vivid picture of American life in the early twentieth century.
Download or read book Raising a Rare Girl written by Heather Lanier and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A remarkable book . . . I found myself thinking that all expectant and new parents should read it.” —Michelle Slater A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice In Raising a Rare Girl, Lanier explores how to defy the tyranny of normal and embrace parenthood as a spiritual practice that breaks us open in the best of ways. Like many women of her generation, when Heather Lanier was expecting her first child she did everything by the book in the hope that she could create a SuperBaby, a supremely healthy human destined for a high-achieving future. But her daughter Fiona challenged all of Lanier’s preconceptions. Born with an ultra-rare syndrome known as Wolf-Hirschhorn, Fiona received a daunting prognosis: she would experience significant developmental delays and might not reach her second birthday. The diagnosis obliterated Lanier’s perfectionist tendencies, along with her most closely held beliefs about certainty, vulnerability, God, and love. With tiny bits of mozzarella cheese, a walker rolled to library story time, a talking iPad app, and a whole lot of pop and reggae, mother and daughter spend their days doing whatever it takes to give Fiona nourishment, movement, and language. Loving Fiona opens Lanier up to new understandings of what it means to be human, what it takes to be a mother, and above all, the aching joy and wonder that come from embracing the unique life of her rare girl.

Download or read book Beyond the picturesque written by Steven Jacobs and published by S.M.A.K.. This book was released on 2009 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: De tentoonstelling in het S.M.A.K. en de daarmee gepaard gaande publicatie onderzoeken hoe het concept van het pittoreske nog altijd (of opnieuw) van toepassing kan zijn voor artistieke interpretaties van het huidige landschap. Ten eerste is het opvallend dat veel kunstenaars gefascineerd zijn door het hybride hedendaagse landschap waarin de verschillen tussen centrum en periferie, tussen stad en platteland en tussen natuur en cultuur niet langer duidelijk gedefinieerd zijn. Volgens de Italiaanse stedenbouwkundige Mirko Zardini "laat alleen de sensibiliteit voor het pittoreske ons toe om dit territorium met nieuwe ogen te observeren: om de verschillen, de contrasten, de mengelingen en de nuances te begrijpen en te waarderen." Ten tweede is het hedendaagse natuurlijke landschap in grote mate en op globale schaal gekoloniseerd en gedomesticeerd met behulp van een wereldwijde verspreiding van beelden in de vorm van kunstwerken en allerhande mediale landschapsbeelden in film, televisie, toerisme, enzovoort.
