Extractions: Vladmir Dzhanibekov Alexei Leonov Georgii Poplavski Andrei Sokolov Vladmir Dzhanibekov Dzhanibekov is one of the former Soviet Union's most experienced cosmonauts and one of two space explorers/artists represented in this collection. Born in 1942, he now lives in the city most space artists can only hope to visit: Zvezdny Gorodok, "Star City." This is an entire town created around the center for cosmonaut training, where the cosmonauts and their families can live together. Star City is in a rural, wooded setting not far from Moscow and resembles a comfortable and attractive retirement village more than it does a military base. Dzhanibekov is a cosmonaut and a major-general in the Russian Air Force, twice Hero of the Soviet Union. He became a cosmonaut in 1970 and made five flights as spacecraft commander, spending an aggregate of 146 days in space between 1978 and 1985. He commanded the heroic effort that saved the Salyut 7 space station in 1985. He studied art at the V. Komarov Higher Air Force School at Eisk. He is a member of the USSR Artists Union and its Cosmic Group. He's held numerous exhibitions in the former Soviet Union, the United States, Saudi Arabia and other countries.

http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/2/12/h12-515-e.html

Extractions: Liz Magor's installations in sculpture and photography examine questions of time, identity, and existence. Magor was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1948, one of five children. She and her family moved to Prince Rupert, British Columbia, in the early 1950s. She attended the University of British Columbia from 1966 to 1968. She then moved on to the Parsons School of Design in New York City, studying there from 1968 to 1970, before finishing her formal training at the Vancouver School of Art in 1971. In the early years of her career, Magor lived in Vancouver. She extensively explored the Lower Mainland coast of British Columbia, collecting and sorting various types of natural materials. Her early works were concerned with the idea of "natural multiples" identical, or nearly identical items, which appeared in nature rather than being manufactured. In early works such as The Birdnester (early 1970s), Magor presented these natural objects using modern production and marketing methods. At the same time, she investigated the subtle differences that occurred amongst these seemingly identical items. Later pieces of this period, for example Four Boys and a Girl (1979), involved the creation of her own multiples; she presented the means of creation, and the finished products, together in the same work. Many of her works were created using non-traditional organic materials that changed or decayed over time, creating subtle differences amongst the objects. Her interest was in the processes of creation and destruction, as much as the product itself.
Frances Loring - Florence Wyle - Women Artists In Canada - Celebrating Women's A
Sisler, Rebecca. Florence Wyle, 18811968. Toronto Dundurn Press, 1978. 4 p. (lives and works of the Canadian artists ; 20). .
http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/2/12/h12-514-e.html

Extractions: Affectionately called "The Girls," Frances Loring and Florence Wyle were also known as the first women of Canadian sculpture. Spanning more than 50 years, their careers as sculptors have given Canadians a rich body of work that may be discovered and admired in many public spaces and galleries throughout the country. Loring and Wyle's influence on Canadian art and artists has been significant. They challenged the establishment by setting forth to prove that sculpture was as important an art form as any other, and they succeeded amidst adverse conditions. At the turn of the 20th century, sculpture in Canada was still very much considered a curiosity, rather than an admired art form. The lack of patrons, the serious shortage of foundries and the relatively high cost of materials were all factors contributing to an inauspicious environment for sculptors. In addition, these artists had to rely heavily on commissions as a source of revenue. Born in Wardner, Idaho in 1887, Frances Loring studied art in her native United States, as well as in many European cities, before settling in Canada in 1913. Her decision to move to Toronto was motivated, in part, by a desire to participate in the artistic development of a young country. Loring achieved this goal and many others throughout her illustrious career.
SECESSION
schedule of other exhibitions in the house, seven projects are planned, in whichseveral artists at once Hans Weigand, born 1954, lives and works in Vienna
http://www.secession.at/art/2001_e.html

Extractions: Continuing the tradition of recent years, in 2001 the Secession will again focus on projects with a concrete reference to the contextual and architectonic conditions of the house and which refer, at the same time, to art-immanent, social and political circumstances both on site and in international contexts. A multitude of positions are confronted with the exhibiting artists' common interest in inscribing themselves with their work into collective mental and emotional processes and linking contemporary art with other topical discourses. This is also one reason for the great interest in positions from the field of film - endeavors are undertaken here to do justice to the theoretical and historical significance of the format of film, which is naturally not to be taken as autarchic, for contemporary art production. The artists elected to the board of directors (currently Matthias Herrmann, Anna Meyer, Heimo Zobernig, Johanna Kandl, Manfred Erjautz, Sandrine von Klot, Dorit Margreiter, Constanze Ruhm, Martin Walde, Willi Kopf, Hans Kupelwieser), who have developed the exhibition program together, stand for a broad perspective of complex works, which regard the viewers as part of the artistic process. All exhibitions are accompanied by a publication.
Bienal - Official Artists - Aruba - Ciro Abath
Netherlands. lives and works in Aruba. Exhibitions Germany. 1993 5 Artistsfrom Aruba, Gallery EightySix, Willemstad, Curaçao.
http://www.uol.com.br/23bienal/paises/ipaw.htm

Extractions: Ciro Abath is an artist born on the island of Aruba. The essence of his work lies in him being an explorer to uncover the truth. In his sculptures there are forms and structures that refer back to archetypes, eroded ruins of cultures "long gone." Archetypes that bore witness to changes taking place all around, that form the future from the past and observe this formation in resigned humbleness. The artist feels that his works, aside from being a manifestation from the other side, transcend the two dimensions, and so becoming art, not only for our physical world but also for the other. In his view, death is not the end of existence, but just a change in the state of being thus traversing to another dimension. The dimension of time is transitory and untraceable. Sometimes it seems like "returning" to a "lived past," directed at the future, at what is still to come or is already existent. With his works he seeks to bond the two worlds, by employing known shapes and elements like shells, to symbolize the lived past and to elevate it to the eternal presence of life. The spiral, being an essential piece in his artistic language, shows his conviction in eternal spiritual growth... winding up the helix of life.

Extractions: by Susan A. Schreiner and Michael A. Somers Finding biographical information on the Internet is both time-consuming and frustrating. While any particular name can retrieve a number of hits on any search engine of your choice, finding current, accurate biographies can be difficult. Fortunately, the Internet is a rich source of diverse biographical information, and the following sites will guide users to an array of information on numerous topics. This collection is by no means comprehensive (what guide on the Internet is?), but the sites were chosen for the depth of their articles or the sheer bulk of biographical materials available. Biographical search engines Biographical Dictionary. Offering information on more than 28,000 persons, this site is another good starting point for biographical research. Usually presenting good and somewhat in-depth preliminary information on historical figures, this site tends to be weaker on current biography. While sometimes providing more information than Biography.com, it is presented in a less readable fashion. Overall, this is a good site that will help students find basic information, especially on historical figures. Access: http://www.s9.com/biography/

Extractions: jump to main content news search site search institute of international visual arts On this page: jump to site menu etc jump to Contact details Opening Reception, Saturday, January 11, 2003 6-8 pm Talwar Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of film works by Alia Syed. This exhibition will open to the public on Saturday, January 11, and will be on view through Feb 13. This is the artist's first solo exhibition in the United States. On exhibit will be her most recent work Spoken Diary and an earlier work, Swan. Spoken Diary, a 14-minute visual poem, intertwines the inner angst of a woman traversing hesitation, loss and denial with that of her journey through dark, wet and desolate streets of London. Interspersed are layers of words emanating from the fleeting movement of the pen on the diary pages while simultaneously being spoken in the third person, distancing the protagonist from the self. The vastly textural visual collage of fragments of consciousness and surroundings is punctuated with a haunting yet rhythmic score erupting as an anxious heartbeat. Traveling through darkness are occasional lyrical lights, sounds, playful antics and newborn life, drawing to the cyclical nature of life and of the film's construction. Swan, a sensual insinuation created in 1989 is an early introduction to Ms. Syed's celluloid textural indulgence and her innovative treatment and command of the medium. Constructed with cyclical close up views of a white swan preparing for flight, flexing and caressing, extending and folding its wings repeatedly as if bracing for a long journey. The contours of its body covered with softness of down bathed in light, play gracefully with the shadows and dark crevices of emptiness. While being seduced by the softness of its skin and gentle movements of the body one becomes aware of the uncomfortable closeness to this creature and its latent power and are reminded of Yeats' Leda and the Swan "great wings beating still above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed by dark webs, her nape caught in his bill"
Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery Outline

http://www.operacity.jp/en/ag/outline.html

Extractions: Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery Located in Tokyo's Hatsudai, Tokyo Opera City is a large cultural community comprising three zones focusing on the arts, business and commercial amenities. Starting from the "theater city" concept, Tokyo Opera City is designed with its focus firmly on the lifestyle of the Tokyo metropolis in the 21st Century. Apart from art galleries, the area includes one of Tokyo's tallest buildings, the 54-story Tokyo Opera City Tower housing a vibrant business community and the NTT InterCommunication Center (ICC), which presents multimedia art created using up-to-the-minute technology, and also Tokyo Opera City concert halls, the Takemitsu Memorial and Recital Hall, which were designed to sound like musical instruments. The New National Theater, which functions as Tokyo's opera house is located on the next block. Opened in Tokyo Opera City on September 9, 1999, Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery presents special exhibitions of contemporary art with its great variety of means of expression, combining these with the viewpoint of a single collector in the Terada Collection, a permanent collection that presents a cross-section of contemporary Japanese art. The role of the gallery is to aim for the creation of a new culture in the metropolis. Exhibitions of contemporary art: Special exhibitions in Gallery 1 and Gallery 2 As we reach the end of a century and take our first steps in the next, our intellects and emotions are becoming more and more the authorities we rely on. The vitality of individual life has been disappearing under the weight of Japan's economic growth, but to bring out the inherent human sparkle in our daily lives, fresh thinking and unique viewpoints presented through the medium of contemporary art can renew that vitality. At the same time they can give us pointers and hope for the future and the wealth of changes it will bring.
