Robert Yarber on Lapidus' Fontainebleau

About to talk at Penn State where I studied with Robert Yarber, Julie Heffernan and Micaela Amato. Stumbled upon VCU's interview with Robert Yarber: https://youtu.be/N_II9nPuhJk

When I really drawing floating figures in 2006, was it in part because Yarber bubbled up subliminally? Bizarre...

Michelle Grabner on Curating the Whitney Biennial- BurnAway

Michelle Grabner, fearless as usual. "I am giving primacy to artists who are also teachers rather than young emerging artists. I looked at the artists who are teaching these young artists."

Geographies of Collaboration, Berlin

After Year Zero - Geographies of Collaboration I Conference
Exhibition - Conference
Haus der Kulturen der Welt / Berlin
http://hkw.de

Exhibition / 19.09-24.11

The realignment of the world after the Second World War is not recounted
here with regard to the confrontation between the Cold War blocs, but with
a focus on the interweaving of European and African history in the process
of decolonization.

In installations, videos and films , artists such as John Akomfrah and
Jihan El-Tahri examine the attempts to transform the basic conditions of a
Western-dominated modern era. A conference takes up "Geographies of
Collaboration" with a view to the first Asian-African conference, which was
held in Bandung, Indonesia in 1955 and gave rise to the Non-Aligned
Movement.

Conference  / 03-05.10.2013

The panel discussions take as their point of departure the Western,
ideologically dressed-up concept of freedom, of which the Congress Hall,
today the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, itself is a symbol. The building,
conceived as an architectural signal in the Cold War, exemplifies the
humanistic universalism of the "free West" that reordered itself after the
Second World War.
