Linenberger: Quite the sampling
May 4, 2010
I had nice conversations this weekend with people from Holton, Belleville, Sylvan Grove, Oberlin, St. John and Ness City, to name a few.
They all were in Leavenworth for the Kansas Sampler Festival, for which I was volunteering Saturday and Sunday, along with roughly 200 other volunteers. While tending to volunteer responsibilities, I had the chance to have conversations with a handful of folks, most of whom made a point to sing the praises of the sampler festival and Leavenworth.
With so many events going on in the area, I wasn't sure how attendance would be Saturday. Lansing Daze in Lansing, Marble Days in Bonner Springs and races at Kansas Speedway. The activities in the area might actually have helped the festival, as Saturday's attendance was higher. It's hoped that attendance was favorable at the other venues also.
We could have done without that rain and hail that moved in Sunday afternoon, but thankfully the skies cleared up and the Sunflower State celebration was back on track.
The volunteer corps kept pretty busy throughout the festival. But when there was a little down time, I was able to catch an exhibit or two and some fare from the food court. Being of German descent, I thought a bierocks from Becky's Bierocks of St. Francis was a must.
It was a wise decision.
They were so good I purchased a few in frozen form to take home.
On Sunday, I had to try a pork-bacon burger from Pachta Pork in Belleville. Again, I didn't go wrong with that decision. It would have been nice to sample even more foods from the food court, but there was only so much time to galivant with volunteer duties.
Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't extend a big thanks to my mother for helping volunteer while in town for the sampler festival.
I know she hopes to return for the sampler festivities next year, as do I — especially so I can meet more folks and catch even more glimpses of what our state has to offer.

Interested in travelling to a Spanish-speaking country? Read the travel blog below:
Learning Spanish from the locals in Cochabamba (Cochabamba, Bolivia)
Cochabamba is a great place. It's in a valley surrounded on most sides by mountains which you can walk up at weekends. Lovely climate, blue all day, not too hot but hot enough. Everyone is pretty cheerful as if they know they´ve got it ok here. Lots of open spaces to relax, lots of bars and cafes, etc. which you can eat at, and street vendors you don't touch with a barge pole. Really fallen on...

Attendees of NAB2007 are facing a unique period in history, with the digital transition less than two years away.
Even with two decades of planning for the digital TV transition, no one has a confident, clear view on how well it will work. Numerous questions still abound. Will the transition be invisible to most TV viewers, or will there be a period of chaos and confusion for the unknown number of Americans who still depend on over-the-air television? Will terrestrial DTV, at full power, be robust enough to well serve those who still desire on-air service? Will there be interference issues?
All of those issues and many more will be on the table at NAB2007. Even with the logistics of the analog shutdown looming, broadcast engineers must also look ahead to the rapid expansion of new distribution channels, ranging from iPods to mobile phones.
With more than 100,000 attendees anticipated (including 82 international delegations) and hundreds of domestic and global technology companies represented at NAB, there's a lot going on at the show.
David Rehr, the NAB's President and CEO, will deliver his annual state of the industry address on Monday, April 16, at 9 a.m. Katharine McPhee of "American Idol" will perform the national anthem at the opening keynote.

The to-plant list is getting shorter and we are beginning to transition into a summer-full of deadheading/staking/weeding/enjoying. Right on schedule too: we always aim to be *done by July 4th.

Indian School of Business Doubles Scholarships
Oct 13, 2011 | 0 comments
The Indian School of Business (ISB) in Hyderabad announced this week that it will double its MBA scholarships in a bid to attract the best and brightest students to study management education in India.
ISB will increase its total scholarship aid from rupees 4 crores ($816,000 USD) to rupees 8 crores ($1.6 million USD) for the incoming class of 2013. This increased outlay will mean that one in every seven students studying at the school will receive scholarships of between 25 and 50 percent of the total tuition fee. The scholarships will be awarded for both merit and financial need, the school announced. Recipients will be selected on the basis of their exceptional academic and professional performance as well as personal qualities such as leadership, integrity and community service.
"We take great pride in the diversity of our students," ISB Deputy Dean Deepak Chandra said in a statement. "The doubling of our scholarship outlay reaffirms our commitment of grooming future leaders by opening gateways to world-class management education. We are confident that our efforts will continue to reap results in terms of attracting the best talent as well as strengthening the brand ISB."
In addition to the increased school-wide scholarship awards, ISB also will offer entrepreneurial support through a special "Develop India" scholarship, awarded to students who aspire to start their own ventures. The "Develop India" scholarships, offered to aspiring entrepreneurs whose ideas are being incubated under the Entrepreneurs Development Initiative (EDI) at the Wadhwani Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (WCED) of the ISB, will cover the students' loan EMI amount up to a period of two years.
Finally, several corporate organizations also offer their own scholarships to ISB students. Organizations including Citi Foundation, Novartis, IBF, Talentia, La Caixa and Casa Asia provide a variety of merit and need-based scholarships. The Novartis scholarship, for example, is specifically offered to encourage women students from small towns. The Citi Foundation scholarship, meanwhile, is one of the longest-running scholarships to be awarded at ISB.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker Leads GOP Field in New Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Iowa Poll
The latest Des Moines Register poll has Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker in the leads the GOP pack for presidential candidates for 2016. The poll takes into account Mitt Romney removing himself from the race and allocated his percentages accordingly.According to the poll results, Gov. Walker leads the large GOP pack with 15% of GOP presidential contenders. The poll shows that Walker is also the No. 2 most popular choice for likely caucus-goers who want an establishment candidate, and he's the No. 2 for those who want an anti-establishment candidate. It was just last week that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker wowed them in Iowa and asked for Iowans to take a further look at him. Between now and 2016 is an eternity, but it is important to get noticed in the beginning otherwise you will be pealed off before you even get to the primaries.
Iowa Freedom Summit 2015 Scott Walker Speech
Presidential stage newcomer Scott Walker, the conservative reform pit bull who inspired death threats from the left, has become the one to watch in the race for the Republican nomination a year out from the Iowa caucuses.
At 15 percentage points, he leads a big, tightly packed field of potential contenders in a new Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll of likely Republican caucusgoers. The caucuses are scheduled for Feb. 1, 2016.
The Wisconsin governor is also the No. 2 most popular choice for likely caucusgoers who want an establishment candidate, and he's the No. 2 for those who want an anti-establishment candidate, the poll shows.
"He's in a sweet spot," pollster J. Ann Selzer said. "People who don't want an ultra-conservative think he's OK. People who don't want a moderate think he's OK."
Just one point behind is Rand Paul, a U.S. senator from Kentucky and the son of three-time presidential candidate Ron Paul, a hero to dissidents who want to shake up government. Paul draws support from the same anti-establishment well.

2014 Wisconsin Governor's Race: Final Pre-Election Marquette Law School Poll Has Scott Walker (R) leading Leading Mary Burke 50% to 43%
With a week to go before the 2014 midterm elections, the final pre-election Marquette Law School Poll has Republican Gov. Scott Walker leading his Democrat challenger Mary Burke 50% to 43%. In the final days heading inti the election, it would appear the support is trending toward Walker as a previous Marquette Law School Poll conducted October 9-12, found the race tied among likely voters at 47%. As in most all elections, especially midterm ones, party voter turnout will be the key.
A new Marquette Law School Poll finds Republican Gov. Scott Walker leading Democratic challenger Mary Burke 50 percent to 43 percent among likely voters in the Wisconsin governor's race. Another 3 percent say that they are undecided or that they do not know whom they will support, while 1 percent say that they will vote for someone else. Likely voters are those who say that they are certain to vote in the November election.
Among registered voters in the poll, Walker receives 46 percent and Burke 45 percent, with 4 percent undecided and 1 percent saying that they will vote for someone else.
"Shifting turnout intentions have provided most of the dynamics of the race this fall," said Marquette Law School Poll director Charles Franklin. "While the results among all registered voters have varied between a tie and a 3-point Walker edge, the likely-voter results have ranged from a 2-point Burke advantage to the current 7-point Walker lead."
According to RCP average polling Walker leads by 2% and trending up.
MU poll has Walker leading Burke – Favorability ratings:
There is more than one factor behind the pro-Walker tilt in the new survey.
First, Republicans are expressing more certainty than Democrats about voting. In the new poll, 93% of Republicans and 82% of Democrats say they are certain to vote, reflecting a potential turnout gap. As a result, likely voters in Marquette's new poll are a more Republican group than likely voters in its last survey.
Second, there is a sizable shift toward Walker among independents, who have bounced around in the polling. Independents were tied among likely voters two weeks ago but preferred Walker 52% to 37% in the latest poll.
Third, there is some decline in Burke's image. Among registered voters, 38% view Burke favorably while 45% view her unfavorably. Among likely voters, 39% view her favorably while 49% view her unfavorably. Until now, Burke's "positive" and "negative" ratings have roughly paralleled each other as she has become better known.

Two Young GOP Superstars Finish One, Two … Rand Paul wins CPAC 2013 Straw Poll with 25%, Marco Rubio Places Second at 23%
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul won the CPAC 2013 straw poll with 25% of the vote. Florida Senator Marco Rubio finished a close second at 23%. Nearly 3,000 votes were cast by attendees at the three day conference held at a hotel just outside of Washington, DC in which the straw poll is considered one way to gauge where the conservative base stands on potential Republican nominees. Rand Paul had earlier wowed the crowd at CPAC.
Marco Rubio, lft. – Rand Paul, rt.
Although it is far too premature to determine a front runner for the GOP for the 2016 Presidential election, what is apparent is that the two young Turk superstars of the Republican party were at the forefront of this straw poll and have conservatives support. Sen. Rand Paul became a conservative hero with his recent 13 hour filibuster where he took Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama head on with the "Drone" issue. Rand Paul make Holder and Obama blink. Although a CPAC straw poll does not determine an eventual GOP presidential nominee, what makes this much, much different is that the two straw poll winners, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, are both cross-over candidates which the LEFT and the MSM are going to have a hard time calling right-wing extremists.
Sen. Rand Paul won the 2013 Washington Times-CPAC presidential preference straw poll Saturday, and Sen. Marco Rubio was a close second, easily outdistancing the rest of the field and signaling the rise of a new generation of conservative leaders who will take the Republican Party into the 2016 election.
Mr. Paul won 25 percent of the vote, and Mr. Rubio collected 23 percent. Former Sen. Rick Santorum was third with just 8 percent, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — who was not invited to speak at the three-day Conservative Political Action Conference — was next with 7 percent, and Rep. Paul D. Ryan, the GOP's vice presidential nominee last year, was fifth with 6 percent
The full poll results can be found here:
Paul — 25
Rubio – 23
Santorum – 8
Christie – 7
Paul Ryan – 6
Scott Walker – 5
Ben Carson – 4
Ted Cruz – 4
Bobby Jindal – 3
Sarah Palin – 3
Other – 14
Undecided – 1
Also, look for big things in the future from other Conservative superstars Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, neurosurgeon Ben Carson and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. The GOP has a deep bench for 2016.
A note to the 8% who voted for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who was not invited to speak at the three-day Conservative Political Action Conference, he is no conservative and the GOP does not need another RINO running for office in the line of other failed GOP candidates like John McCain and Mitt Romney. The GOP needs to find what it stands for and a messenger to the people who can relay that message to We the People.

How Small of Obama on the RNC, 'It should be a pretty entertaining show' … As the GOP Governors Beat Obama Up with Barack's "You Did Not Build It" Comment and Wowed the Crowd
Barack Obama, Lost in smallness yet again, add in some snark and a dash of sarcasm as he commented on the RNC, 'It should be a pretty entertaining show'. Just how petty could this president get?
Dear Mr. President, it may have been truthfully entertaining; however, it was more enlightening, inspiring and invigorating! Let me inform Barack Obama and the Democrats, don't look now but the GOP has a young, deep, diverse bench.
The GOP trotted out rock star after rock star governors that took Obama's failed economic polices apart. Governors Nikki Haley (SC), Scott Walker (WI), John Kasich (OH) to name a few took to the stage and politically beat Obama upside his head with his ridiculous and foolish comment to small business owners that "you did not build it". Then there was Keynote speaker New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie who reminded Obama, "real leaders do not follow polls, real leaders change polls."
As stated at Hot Air, "a whole gamut of Republican governors did indeed take to the stage to refute your erroneous "top-down" baloney this evening, in the knowledge that a huge, meddlesome bureaucracy that thinks it knows best and taxes success is the real definition of "top-down." The GOP governors told the success stories of their own states recoveries that were polar opposites of Obama's failed bottom up, middle out, government dependent nanny state agenda.
Ohio Gov. Kasich like I have never heard hims before, "We need a new partner in Washington. This relationship is just not working"
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker got some of the biggest applause of the night … Wisconsin now a swing state
Nikki Haley's RNC Speech 8/28/12, "President Obama. with all due respect, don't tell me my parents did not build their business."
"We said in South Carolina that if you have to show a picture ID to buy Sudafed, if you have to show a picture ID to set foot on an airplane. Then you should have to show picture ID to protect one of the most valuable, sacred rights in America, the right to vote."
Governor Chris Christie Speech at Republican National Convention RNC
Transcript can be read HERE.
We need politicians to care more about doing something and less about being something.
Believe me, if we can do this in a blue state with a conservative Republican Governor, Washington is out of excuses.
Leadership delivers.
Leadership counts.
Leadership matters.
We have this leader for America.
We have a nominee who will tell us the truth and who will lead with conviction. And now he has a running mate who will do the same.
We have Governor Mitt Romney and Congressman Paul Ryan, and we must make them our next President and Vice President.
Mitt Romney will tell us the hard truths we need to hear to put us back on the path to growth and create good paying private sector jobs again in America.
Tropical Storm Isaac Expected to become Huricane as it Bears Down on Florida and the Gulf Coast
US National Hurricane Center Issues Hurricane Warnings From Louisiana to Florida Panhandle.
Click HERE for current satellite loop.
Tropical Storm ISAAC Public Advisory
Tropical Storm Isaac about to become a hurricane as it crosses the Florida Keys and enters the Gulf of Mexico. As reported at ABC News, Isaac is expected to make landfall somewhere along the Gulf Coast by Tuesday or Wednesday, on the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. However, Isaac does not appear to be as powerful as the devastating Katrina that reeked havoc on New Orleans, Louisiana and the Gulf Coast. Isaac has made the planner of the Republican National Convention cancel the first day of the event on Monday.
Tropical Storm Isaac barely stirred some Florida Keys residents from their fabled nonchalance Sunday, while the Gulf Coast braced for the possibility that the sprawling storm will strengthen into a dangerous hurricane by the time it makes landfall there.
Isaac was expected to cross the Keys by late afternoon, then turn northwest and strike as a Category 2 hurricane somewhere between the New Orleans area to the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday, the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
The storm was predicted to pass west of Tampa, the site of the Republican National Convention, but it had already disrupted the schedule there because of the likelihood of heavy rain and strong winds.
Even before reaching hurricane strength, Isaac caused considerable inconvenience, with hundreds of flights canceled at airports in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. There were scattered power outages from Key West to Fort Lauderdale affecting more than 6,000 customers, and flooding occurred in low-lying areas.
Florida Governor Scott Brown says that Florida is preparing for Isaac. The Florida Keys are going to be hot with tropical force wind and rain. Brown stated that he has canceled his plans to attend the Republican National Convention on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to deal with issues for the state of Florida and the potential for Isaac to turn into a hurricane.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal Says, Barack Obama is "Most Liberal, Most Incompetent" President since Jimmy Carter
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal statement about President Barack Obama what many people all already thinking. Jindal stated that Obama was "the most liberal, most incompetent president in the White House since Jimmy Carter." Jindal might have wanted to include Obama was also the first "Socialist" President ever elected. Obama's comment regarding the private sector economy is fine might go down as one of the most ignorant one's ever. You cannot back track from such a comment, especially when it came from an Obama called for press conference.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, whose star as a potential running mate for Mitt Romney has been rising in recent weeks, delivered a scathing critique of President Obama at the Chicago Conservative Political Action Conference here Friday, saying the private sector is like a foreign country to Obama.
"I suspect that many in the Obama administration really don't believe in private enterprise. At best they see business as something to be endured so that that it can provide tax money for government programs," said Jindal.
Responding to Obama's statement that the private sector was doing fine, he added: "Mr. President, I've got a message for you: The private sector is not doing well when 23 million Americans are unemployed and underemployed in this great country. This president, the private sector is so foreign to him he might need a passport to actually go visit and he might need a translator to help him talk to folks in the private sector."
Jindal, who has not yet campaigned with Romney, grabbed his chance Friday to try on the attack-dog role traditionally given to running mates. He called Obama "the most liberal, most incompetent president in the White House since Jimmy Carter," and accused him of staying out of the Wisconsin recall election this week out of cowardice.
Not only did Jindal say what many Republicans were thinking, he also stated what many Democrats and unions folks were thinking as well. WHERE WAS BARACK OBAMA WHEN IT CAME TO THE WISCONSIN RECALL VOTE? Some how Obama could fund raise all around Wisconsin, but never come to help support Democrats and union labor.
"Did he not go to Wisconsin because he was afraid of hurting himself by backing a loser?" Jindal wondered. "He shrunk from this challenge. He elected to stay away from Wisconsin for fear of losing. That's not what leaders do."
The real question is how Wisconsin Democrats will react to Obama when he comes back to the state to pander to them and ask for donation and their vote.

Obama in Wonderland … Democrat Minions Spin Embarassing Recall Victory by Wisconsin Gov. Walker as a Positive for Progressives & Unions … Huh?
Welcome to Obama in Wonderland, where up is down, left is right and if Team Obama are talking … they are lying through their teeth.
After last nights resounding recall election victory by Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov Kleefisch in Wisconsin, Team Obama actually had the audacity to say that Democrats sent a strong message to Walker. Huh? Actually Mr. President, you, Democrats and labor unions were just sent a message. In 2010 Walker defeated Barrett 52% to 47%. In 2012 Walker defeats Barrett by an even larger margin 53% to 46%. So who was sent a strong message Team Obama? It is rather comical that Obama would comment now. Maybe the Obama minions should have Tweeted these comments.
Yes, really America, the recall election was a victory for me!!!
While tonight's outcome was not what we had hoped for – no one can dispute the strong message sent to Governor Walker. Hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites from all walks of life took a stand against the politics of division and against the flood of secret and corporate money spent on behalf of Scott Walker, which amounted to a massive spending gap of more than $31 million to $4 million," said Tripp Wellde, campaign state director.
"It is a testament to all of those individuals who talked to their friends, neighbors, and colleagues about the stakes in this election of how close this contest was. The power of Wisconsin's progressive, grassroots tradition was clearly on display throughout the run up to this election and we will continue to work together to ensure a brighter future for Wisconsin's middle class.
I beg to differ with you Obama minions, I think that 53% of voters in Wisconsin dispute your so-called strong message. Just a note to Barack Obama, Democrats, the Left, labor unions and Obama's mouth pieces … YOU LOST!!!

The Crying Game … Lefty Wingnut Cries Like a Baby to CNN After Huge Union Loss in Wisconsin Recall Election Loss to Gov. Scott Walker … "Democracy Died Tonight"
Didn't anyone tell the Left moonbats in Wisconsin that there is No Crying in Recall Elections?
Check out the VIDEO below of the liberal emotional meltdown from The Blaze. Wow, after so this is the death of Democracy, eh? You mean the fact that the Left, Democrats and labor unions lost to Gov. Scott Walker in 2010 and then did so again in 2012 by an even larger margin? Dude, as Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch said last night, "This is what democracy looks like". The people of Wisconsin have spoke not once, but twice.
This is a must see Video … cry me a river!
The Left and labor unions over-reached in a big way and got burned. There should never shave been a recall election. All the unions and the poor sport Leftist Democrats did was cost the Wisconsin tax payers money. To what purpose, because they did not agree with Walker? Sorry, but elections have consequences. An overwhelming majority of Wisconsinites believe that recall elections should be reserved to corruption and major misconduct by politicians, not when a party cops an attitude because they lost.
So why is the dude crying above, because labor unions lost in a major way.The weepy man above might want to recalculate the amount that unions poured into the recall election. According to The Hill it was $10 million.
Organized labor suffered a crushing blow with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's (R) victory in Tuesday's recall, a possible sign of their fading power and a worrying result for union supporters ahead of November's election.
"They picked a fight they weren't able to win," said Gary Chaison, a labor expert at Clark University. "This shows them at their weakest. They'll try to put a happy face on this but this is nothing less than a calamity for them."
Unions combined to spend more than $10 million on the race and were the driving force behind the recall effort. But even in Wisconsin, long a bastion for organized labor and the birthplace of public employee unions, they couldn't defeat a governor whose defining achievement was stripping public workers of their collective bargaining rights

TOTAL NON-RECALL … Republicans Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Kleefisch and 3 of 4 GOP Senators Win Recall Victories: Scott Fitzgerald, Terry Moulton, Jerry Petrowski … Van Wanggaard Not Yet Called
Tonight in Wisconsin it was a TOTAL "almost" NON-RECALL …
Not only did Governor Scott Walker and Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch survive their recall elections and won handily, so did three of the four Republican state Senators who faced recall elections as well. Republican Wisconsin state Senators Scott Fitzgerald, Terry Moulton and Jerry Petrowski all survived an won their recall elections. They not only won, they won handily. Only the state Senate seat 21 has not been called. With 28% of precincts reporting Van Wanggaard (R) leads John Lehman (D), 60% to 40%. Seeing that Senate seat 21 represents Racine, one that went for Walker over Barrett 63% to 36.5%, it is hard to imagine that Van Wanggaard will not win as well.
UPDATE I: 100% of precincts voting and John Lehman defeats GOP incumbent Van Wanggaard, 51% to 49% … 36255 votes to 35476.

Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch Wins Historic Recall Election … "This Is What Democracy Looks Like"
Hey Barack, Tweet on this … Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch took to the stage following her recall election victory and stated, "THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE". Rebecca Kleefisch was the first Lt. Governor ever to have to face a recall election and Kleefisch also made history and became the first Lt. Governor ever to survive and win a recall election.
Democrats, organized labor, public employee unions and the far Left really overplayed their hand in Wisconsin and got burned. Many thought that the recall election was totally uncalled for and unwarranted.
Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit
"Now this is what democracy looks like," a jubilant Kleefisch told supporters at a victory rally. "Friends, years from now they will say the campaign to save America began tonight in Wisconsin."
With 90% of votes counted, Kleefisch (R) 54% - Mitchell (D) 46%.

Jaume Plensa Set for Galerie Lelong Beginning 5/6
In A N O N Y M O U S, renowned artist Jaume Plensa presents works on paper and sculpture, using his signature multidisciplinary approach and interest in the collective experiences and memories across cultures and time. The exhibition at Galerie Lelong coincides with the presentation of Plensa's monumental sculpture Echo, opening May 5 at New York's Madison Square Park. In Echo and the works featured in A N O N Y M O U S, Plensa conveys notions of the individual and humanity as both distinctive and universal. A N O N Y M O U S opens at Galerie Lelong on Friday, May 6 from 6 to 8 pm, and the artist will be present.
Though known mainly for his sculptures, installations, and public works, Plensa has also been prolific in works on paper throughout his career. A N O N Y M O U S will feature a series of 40 mixed media portraits on paper that were recently exhibited in a solo exhibition at the Musée Picasso in Antibes, France last year. Representing a vast range of ages and racial and ethnic backgrounds, the series reflects the diversity of the city. With their faces slightly obscured and captured in neutral, indistinct expressions, the works feel more like memories made tangible, rather than traditional portraiture. Printed across each figure is a word-among them, "innocence," "desire," and "divinity"-that refers to universal states of consciousness.
In a way, the title of the exhibition contrasts with the specificity of the portraits-unlike many of Plensa's subjects, the figures are identifiable with defined traits. However, a hallmark of Plensa's is uniting classic visual and literary references with modern materials and concerns to achieve a sense of collective being and timelessness. While looking at the portraits, one feels an awareness of shared truths and an innate connection with the people depicted.
Also on view will be Humming, a large, marble sculpture that bears the deliberately generalized appearance seen throughout Plensa's other work. With features elongated and softened, references to gender, race, and age are diminished. The figure's eyes are closed, in a contemplative or dream state. Plensa creates these works by altering images of individuals to generalize their characteristics and then using 3D photographic technology to produce a model for the sculpture. In Humming, Plensa for the first time uses layers of lead within the marble to segment his figure, representing the fractions of a person's inner self.
Concurrent with A N O N Y M O U S is Jaume Plensa: Echo, on view at Madison Square Park from May 5 to August 14. A 44-foot-high sculpture of marble, plastic, and fiberglass, Echo takes its name from Greek mythology but is modeled after a young girl known to the artist. Rising from the center of the park with her eyes closed, and luminous in both day and night, Echo will be a source of tranquility amid the hectic city. It is the artist's hope that viewers will see the sculpture as a mirror into their own thoughts and soul.
Plensa was born in 1955 and currently lives in Barcelona. His work has been the subject of numerous monographic museum shows-most recently, Genus and Species at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas and a monumental exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in West Britton, UK, currently on view through September 25. Plensa is also highly active in developing site-specific public works-his most celebrated include Crown Fountain in Chicago; Breathing at the BBC Headquarters, London; Bridge of Light, Jerusalem; and World Voices at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Plensa is currently working on a major work for Calgary's highly anticipated building The Bow, which will open in 2012.
