A New Dawn in Accra

CAS International Photo Contest Winner Series 
Featured Submission:
Benjamin Goh

 Description:

"The Elmina Slave Castle we visited the day before left us with a heavy heart--the atrocities one can commit against another was shocking to say the least. But our biggest takeaway was not comprehending the extent of human cruelty; rather, like a new dawn, it showed us the beauty of today, how far we've progressed as a human race, and how we should continually strive to make tomorrow a better place."

La Casa Rosada (Buenos Aires)

CAS International Photo Contest Winner Series

Featured Photographer:

Arnav Mody

Description:

"La Casa Rosada or The Pink House is Argentina's presidential palace. It is situated at Plaza de Mayo which is the one place where all the energy, emotions and stories of the country are concentrated and can be seen. In the foreground painted in white, one can see the markings on the ground that symbolize las madres de Plaza de Mayo (the mothers of Plaza de Mayo). A group of people still convene at the plaza every Thursday to protest the forced disappearance of their loved ones by the military dictatorship during the 'Dirty War'' where over 30,000 were 'disappeared' between 1976 and 1983. This plaza was the scene of the Argentina's independence revolution of May 25, 1810 that gave the country its freedom. The sentiment of liberty still lives on this plaza through political, social and economic demonstrations. In front of the Argentine flag that waves proudly, the security barricades have graffiti addressing topics like The Falkland’s/Malvinas War, abortion, inflation and wages. This is the first place anybody should visit in Buenos Aires as one can never escape the dynamic emotions that overwhelm the serene air."

Modernity 3.0: Bridging East-West Art

80 Washington Square East

Now Through July 12th

"Modernity 3.0 intends to respond to the current crisis of Western modernity as part of a cosmopolitan course involving a worldwide transition of views. In this ongoing transition, a modernity referred to as Modernity 1.0 - characterized by traditional nation states - was transplanted by Modernity 2.0 - an ultimate form of globalization, where a compressed world without any boundary arose. However, such a compressed, globalized world producing the core notion of proximity, i.e. a world without any layer or distance, seems to no longer match today’s cultural and economic developments. We seem to have achieved a state of Modernity connoting a world where multidimensionality and the novel notion of rooted cosmopolitanism has erased a totalitarian form of globalized proximity."

Energy That is All Around

Grey Art Gallery Exhibit

NYU, Silver Building, 1st Floor

 Mission School: Chris Johanson
Margaret Kilgallen, Alicia McCarthy
Barry McGee, Ruby Neri 

"In the early 1990s, many aspiring San Francisco artists lived and worked in the Mission District, a gritty, low-rent area of the city. Among them were San Francisco Art Institute undergraduates Alicia McCarthy, Barry McGee, and Ruby Neri, along with friends Chris Johanson and Margaret Kilgallen. Turning their backs on the Bay Area dot-com boom—which brought to the neighborhood an influx of young professionals, upscale shops, chic restaurants, and eviction threats—they embraced street aesthetics and lowbrow visual culture such as cartoons, signage, and folk art. All made and promoted graffiti; all had tag names. All moved easily between representation and abstraction, the street and the studio, and worked in various media including painting, sculpture, drawing, collage, and installation. Although each developed a distinct artistic style and philosophy, they all were drawn to the radical and the political. Not surprisingly, all took inspiration from Bay Area Figuration, the Beats, Funk art, and Punk. They likewise witnessed how hard San Francisco was hit by the AIDS epidemic. By 2002, these high-octane and previously obscure artists were retroactively dubbed the Mission School by critic Glen Helfand.

The Mission School, however, is less a movement than an ethos. Nor does ENERGY THAT IS ALL AROUND purport to be a definitive survey. Instead it focuses on rarely seen early work by five key Mission School practitioners. Johanson, Kilgallen, McCarthy, McGee, and Neri often collaborated and showed their work in the same alternative venues. Moreover their art evokes a paradox: while it appears to be slapdash and unfinished, it is actually highly considered and resolved. With the exception of Margaret Kilgallen—who died prematurely in 2001—they remain friends and still share an affinity for humble and/or discarded materials, a devotion to community, and an anti-consumerist stance. Highlighting their aesthetic contributions as well as subversions, ENERGY THAT IS ALL AROUND provides a raffish and spirited introduction to the distinctive work of some of California’s most innovative contemporary artists."

Le Clown de Cœur

CAS International Photo Contest Winner Series

Featured Photographer:

Liz Lorenz 

Description:

"Le Clown de Cœur was taken in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a quartier on the left bank of Paris, shortly after Valentine's Day. Red paper hearts are still in the windows of a shop in the City of Love. Along with the nearby couple, the decorations reflect in the restaurant window-- the clown's lair. Captured from the outside of the café, his strange gesture and frozen, illegible expression are jarring compared to the lovely street scene. With their juxtaposition and the erie prominence of the clown's transparent figure, the image becomes fantastical and bizarre. Evoking the surreal reflections in the work of Paris based photographer Eugène Atget, Le Clown de Cœur explores various representations of and associations with the city where I feel most inspired."
