On his return from England in 1923, Liaquat Ali Khan decided to enter politics with the objective of liberating his homeland from the foreign yoke. Right from the very beginning, he was determined to eradicate the injustices and ill treatment meted out to the Indian Muslims by the British. In his early life, Liaquat Ali, like most of the Muslim leaders of his time, believed in Indian Nationalism. But his views gradually changed. The Congress leaders invited him to join their party, but he refused and joined the Muslim League in 1923. Under the leadership of Quaid-i-Azam, the Muslim League held its annual session in May 1924 in Lahore. The aim of this session was to revive the League. Liaquat Ali Khan attended this conference along many other young Muslims.
Liaquat Ali Khan signs the register as the first Prime Minister of Pakistan |
In his parliamentary career, Liaquat Ali Khan established his reputation as an eloquent, principled and honest spokesman who never compromised on his principles even in the face of severe odds. He used his influence and good offices for the liquidation of communal tension and bitterness. He took active part in legislative affairs. He was one of the members of the Muslim League delegation that attended the National Convention held at Calcutta to discuss the Nehru Report in December 1928.

When Quaid-i-Azam returned to India, he started reorganizing the Muslim League. Liaquat was elected as the Honorary Sectary of the party on April 26, 1936. He held the office till the establishment of Pakistan in 1947. In 1940, he was made the deputy leader of the Muslim League Parliamentary party. Quaid-i-Azam was not able to take active part in the proceedings of the Assembly on account of his heavy political work; thus the whole burden of protecting Muslim interests in the Assembly fell on Liaquat Ali's shoulders. Liaquat Ali was also the member of Muslim Masses Civil Defense Committee, which was formed to keep the Muslims safe from Congress activities and to strengthen the League's mission.
Liaquat Ali Khan won the Central Legislature election in 1945-46 from the Meerut Constituency in U. P. He was also elected Chairman of the League's Central Parliamentary Board. He assisted Quaid-i-Azam in his negotiations with the members of the Cabinet Mission and the leaders of the Congress during the final phases of the Freedom Movement. When the Government asked the Muslim League to send their nominees for representation in the interim government, Liaquat was asked to lead the League group in the cabinet. He was given the portfolio of finance, which he handled brilliantly. He influenced the working of all the departments of the Government and presented a poor man's budget. His policies as Finance Minister helped in convincing the Congress to accept the Muslim demand of a separate homeland.
After independence, Quaid-i-Azam and Muslim League appointed Liaquat to be the head of the Pakistan Government. Being the first Prime Minister of the country, He had to deal with a number of difficulties facing Pakistan in its early days. Liaquat Ali Khan helped Quaid-i-Azam in solving the riot and refugee problem and setting up an effective administrative system for the country. After the death of Quaid-i-Azam, Liaquat tried to fill the vacuum created by the departure of the Father of the Nation. Under his premiership, Pakistan took its first steps in the field of constitution making, as well as foreign policy. He presented the Objectives Resolution in the Legislative Assembly. The house passed this on March 12, 1949. Under his leadership a team also drafted the first report of the Basic Principle Committee. His efforts in signing the Liaquat-Nehru pact pertaining to the minority issue in 1950 reduced tensions between India and Pakistan. In May 1951, he visited the United States and set the course of Pakistan's foreign policy towards closer ties with the West.
On October 16, 1951, Liaquat Ali Khan was assassinated. He had been scheduled to make an important announcement in a public meeting at Municipal Park, Rawalpindi. The security forces immediately shot the assassin, who was later identified as Saad Akbar. Killing the assassin erased all clues to the identity of the real culprit behind the murder. Liaquat Ali Khan was officially given the title of Shaheed-i-Millat, but the question of who was behind his murder is yet to be answered.

David Cameron may have announced plans to promote his former leader Iain Duncan Smith, but there remain no such assurances for the party's long-serving henchman David Davis.
Just this week, the former Shadow Home Secretary was busy laying down the conditions regarding a future return to the political front line. "I don't want to be just an adornment," he helpfully explained. "If there's a proper job to be done, an issue to be dealt with, then, sure, of course."
Friends of Davis, who was facing uncharitable whispers of "midlife crisis" when he surprisingly quit his Shadow Cabinet post last year to trumpet civil liberties in a by-election, claim the former leadership contender's "dream job" is that of Foreign Secretary – a post seemingly unlikely to be troubling him any time soon.
Indeed, senior Cameroons were privately sprinkling cold water on Davis's comeback plans, following his pitch in Manchester this week. "When David stood down, he ended his chances of ever having a top Cabinet post," I was told yesterday. "His best hope is a decent ambassador's role abroad. That would stop him causing any trouble at home."
Bubbly reception for Pickles
As Pandora noted yesterday, the amiable Conservative chairman Eric Pickles is generally considered to have blotted his copybook, thanks to his ill-fated ban on champagne at this week's conference. So picture the scene on Wednesday when poor Pickles attended a plush local government reception where bubbly was in plentiful supply. While gossip was soon doing the rounds that he had succumbed to temptation, his spokesman hastily rejected such tittle-tattle. "Eric did not drink any champagne," he insisted yesterday.
Quo rocked by snub from Holland
Having already faced the flustered Culture Secretary Ben Bradshaw's accusations of bias this week, surely the BBC can ill afford to make any more powerful enemies?
Yet I hear those national treasures of dad rock, Status Quo, have now weighed in, claiming they've been cruelly blacklisted by BBC 2's Later... With Jools Holland. "I'd love to do it, but they won't have us," sighs the veteran axeman Rick Parfitt. "Perhaps we're not cool enough?"
His bandmate Francis Rossi adds: "It's a bit of a drag because Quo are primarily a live band.
"We'd love to go on and play loud."
Hold your head in shame, Mr Holland!
All the answers for Tory hopefuls
I feel duty-bound to report an instructive exchange overheard between a Tory "image consultant" and one young political hopeful in a Manchester bar this week. When asked for advice on how to become a parliamentary candidate, the "expert" carried out the briefest of inspections before telling the delegate: "a) get a suit that fits; b) lose two stone; c) buy a new pair of glasses; and d) stop looking sexually ambiguous. If you're gay, be gay. If you're straight, get a wedding ring."
Thompson grows older gracefully
Having recently reached her half-century, Emma Thompson assures us she won't be following in the footsteps of Hollywood rivals by battling the advancing years.
"Old is very sexy," says the Oscar-winning actress. "It must be awful for women who are in denial and insist on looking 20 years younger. How are we going to produce beautiful older women if we don't allow ourselves to be older?
"I think the trick is to age honestly and gracefully. Trying to constantly look younger must be exhausting."

Jean-Michel Carlo, vice president, said Havas had been looking at Lopex before the Incepta bid which acted as a catalyst for yesterday's offer. The offer has won acceptance from holders of more than 24 per cent of the shares in addition to the Lopex board. Havas will pay 120p for each Lopex share, a 54 per cent premium on 1 July close, the day before Incepta's bid.
"Our UK strategy is part of our worldwide strategy. Our three-year plan, announced six months ago, is to double the size of the company," he said.
In a statement, Alain de Pouzilhac, chairman and chief executive of Havas Advertising, said: "Havas Advertising's strategy is to be one of the top five marketing and communications groups worldwide by 2001. We regard the acquisition of Lopex as a key element in our UK expansion strategy."
Lopex owns a number of communications companies, including PR group Grayling, whose clients include the saucepan maker Le Creuset, the BBC and Pedigree Petfoods.
Analysts said they doubted that Incepta, owner of the Citigate and Dewe Rogerson public relations agencies, could come back with a higher offer. As it is, Incepta, which has built up a 26 per cent stake in the group over the past two years at an average price believed to be around 37p a share, stands to make a pounds 12.2m profit if it agrees to the deal.
Incepta said in a statement that it was "considering its position" and would make an announcement in due course.
Havas, which is French-owned, numbers among its existing UK interests WCRS, the advertising agency, PR company Biss Lancaster and Terence Conran's old company Conran Design.

These next posts will be a work in progress from start to finish of a commission from Men's Style in Australia. From the roughs through to the final art work. The article that I was asked to illustrate was about Bullying and is for the opinion column in the said magazine.
Firstly after reading the article I did some rough thumbnails. The Art director was keen of to reference a video on youtube of a smaller child bullying a bigger one. needless to say it turned out badly for the smaller one check it out here.
Also the art director was interested in referencing Pink Floyd, "another brick in the wall", because the incident took play in a school yard.
So below are a load of ideas.

In its current format, it's using the 26gb ntfs partition as the boot and system partition for legacy compatibility. It's type is primary and it's currently the active partition. Does the order of the partitions matter? Just I noticed the veracrypt partition is the 1st one on the drive.
You'd better set the FAT32 partition as the 1st partition, the NTFS partition as the 2nd partition, then followed by other partitions. And you need to select the FAT32 partition as the system partition and the NTFS partition as the boot partition when using WinToUSB to create a Windows To Go Workspace, then you can use it to boot both BIOS-based and UEFI-based computers.

Once again, the private sector continued to shed jobs this month. But in an attempt to look on the not-so-bleak side of things, it was the smallest monthly decline in over two years.
According to a study by payroll powerhouse Automatic Data Processing (you probably know them as ADP — you might remember their logo on your paychecks from when you had a job), 23,000 jobs were lost in the private sector in March.
Prognosticators had actually expected to see an

Some areas of employment are actually hiring right now, says the report. For the second month in a row, ADP saw an increase in service jobs. The 28,000 new hires in March was the highest number for service jobs since March 2008.
On the down side, a total of 60,000 jobs were lost in goods-producing and manufacturing.

The slide of a semi-automatic pistol (also called a pistol slide) is the top assembly of the weapon. It usually comprises the firing pin or striker, the extractor, and a housing. It serves as the bolt as well. When the pistol is fired, the recoil pushes the slide back across the top of the weapon. As the slide moves back, the extractor pulls the now-empty cartridge case out of the chamber and ejects it. In single action pistols, the recoiling slide will also cock the hammer back. When the slide reaches the rearward point of travel, a spring pushed it forward again. As it moves forward, it will push a new cartridge, raised into position by the magazine follower (if one is available) into the chamber and leave the pistol ready to fire again. If the magazine is empty, the slide will lock back at its rearmost point, leaving the chamber empty. At this point, a new magazine may be inserted, and since the slide remains locked back, the pistol may be brought to battery by simply pressing the slide release lever which will allow the slide to move forward and load a new round.

The speaker recalls having met a traveler "from an antique land," who told him a story about the ruins of a statue in the desert of his native country. Two vast legs of stone stand without a body, and near them a massive, crumbling stone head lies "half sunk" in the sand. The traveler told the speaker that the frown and "sneer of cold command" on the statue's face indicate that the sculptor understood well the emotions (or "passions") of the statue's subject. The memory of those emotions survives "stamped" on the lifeless statue, even though both the sculptor and his subject are both now dead. On the pedestal of the statue appear the words, "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: / Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" But around the decaying ruin of the statue, nothing remains, only the "lone and level sands," which stretch out around it.
"Ozymandias" is a sonnet, a fourteen-line poem metered in iambic pentameter. The rhyme scheme is somewhat unusual for a sonnet of this era; it does not fit a conventional Petrarchan pattern, but instead interlinks the octave (a term for the first eight lines of a sonnet) with the sestet (a term for the last six lines), by gradually replacing old rhymes with new ones in the form ABABACDCEDEFEF.
This sonnet from 1817 is probably Shelley's most famous and most anthologized poem—which is somewhat strange, considering that it is in many ways an atypical poem for Shelley, and that it touches little upon the most important themes in his oeuvre at large (beauty, expression, love, imagination). Still, "Ozymandias" is a masterful sonnet. Essentially it is devoted to a single metaphor: the shattered, ruined statue in the desert wasteland, with its arrogant, passionate face and monomaniacal inscription ("Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"). The once-great king's proud boast has been ironically disproved; Ozymandias's works have crumbled and disappeared, his civilization is gone, all has been turned to dust by the impersonal, indiscriminate, destructive power of history. The ruined statue is now merely a monument to one man's hubris, and a powerful statement about the insignificance of human beings to the passage of time. Ozymandias is first and foremost a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of political power, and in that sense the poem is Shelley's most outstanding political sonnet, trading the specific rage of a poem like "England in 1819" for the crushing impersonal metaphor of the statue. But Ozymandias symbolizes not only political power—the statue can be a metaphor for the pride and hubris of all of humanity, in any of its manifestations. It is significant that all that remains of Ozymandias is a work of art and a group of words; as Shakespeare does in the sonnets, Shelley demonstrates that art and language long outlast the other legacies of power.
Of course, it is Shelley's brilliant poetic rendering of the story, and not the subject of the story itself, which makes the poem so memorable. Framing the sonnet as a story told to the speaker by "a traveller from an antique land" enables Shelley to add another level of obscurity to Ozymandias's position with regard to the reader—rather than seeing the statue with our own eyes, so to speak, we hear about it from someone who heard about it from someone who has seen it. Thus the ancient king is rendered even less commanding; the distancing of the narrative serves to undermine his power over us just as completely as has the passage of time. Shelley's description of the statue works to reconstruct, gradually, the figure of the "king of kings": first we see merely the "shattered visage," then the face itself, with its "frown / And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command"; then we are introduced to the figure of the sculptor, and are able to imagine the living man sculpting the living king, whose face wore the expression of the passions now inferable; then we are introduced to the king's people in the line, "the hand that mocked them and the heart that fed." The kingdom is now imaginatively complete, and we are introduced to the extraordinary, prideful boast of the king: "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" With that, the poet demolishes our imaginary picture of the king, and interposes centuries of ruin between it and us: " 'Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' / Nothing beside remains. Round the decay / Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, / The lone and level sands stretch far away."
"Thunder is good; thunder is impressive. But it is lightening that does the work."
The poem ''Ode to the West Wind'' was written in the autumn of 1819, in the beautiful Cascine Gardens outside Florence and was published with ''Prometheus Unbound'' in 1820. The poet is himself in a mood of despondency and misery and says that he falls upon the thorns of life and is bleeding. He is seeking reawakening also through the poem and wants the wind to carry his dead thoughts and ideas like it has taken the le... Read more→

he wants to highlight the main themes of life that we should take life serious there is no solution which can cure or hail human sufferings.
Can anyone remind me of an alternate ending for Shelley's beautiful poem that I saw some forty years ago? It cleared up that the walker through the Indian jungle was female, and that her "dying" is clearly metaphorical and ultimately resolved..

Sara Khan, who married Ali Merchant on the reality show Bigg Boss, was shocked to find her ex standing at her doorstep recently. The actors were part of the cooking reality series Welcome and as per the show's format, every week four celebrities go to dine at a fifth celebrity's home.
A source says, "Sara was very annoyed and locked herself in her room. When the production team persuaded her to emerge, she relented but didn't participate much, even though she was the host.
The makers removed Ali from the show and replaced him with Vindu Dara Singh in the next five episodes." Sara says, "It was a jolt as I didn't know who the contestants were. I couldn't believe the production house would go to this extent for TRPs." But the makers promised her that they would take care of the matter and replaced Ali the next day.
"There's no need for gimmicks. The episode left a bad taste in my mouth. This was a rude shock," says Sara. The man on the other end of that nasty disclosure echoes the sentiment. "I was shocked to see her as well. As she has shifted to this new place I didn't know it was her home or I wouldn't have gone there," Ali says.
"If he was so shocked he should have walked out, but he was smiling and talking to everyone as if nothing had happened," says Sara.

Full text not available from this repository.Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF02569532
We have studied coherent magnetization precession in superfluid3He with pulsed NMR to temperatures of ≈0.1T c. Persistent signals were observed with lifetimes up to 60s at a frequency of 0.8MHz. We have found that the behaviour is reproducible for small levels of NMR excitation, whilst becoming irreproducible for higher excitations. We infer from this that textures play an essential role in the formation of persistent signals.

Examination for the Certificate of Proficiency in English (ECPE)
In 1957, the University of Michigan designated the Hellenic American Union as the official representative in Greece for the Examination for the Certificate of Proficiency in English (ECPE). Since then, the Hellenic American Union has been administering the examination not only in Greece but also in many other countries.
The Certificate of Proficiency (ECPE) constitutes an official certification of knowledge of the English language at the C2 level, as outlined by the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR).It is awarded by the University of Michigan, one of the leading U.S. Universities in the field of linguistic research, with lengthy experience in establishing and developing a broad range of English language examinations.
The ECPE is officially recognized in Greece by the state (Supreme Council for Civil Personnel Selection) and the private sector as a C2 level certification of English language competence. It is also recognized in several countries and can be used for academic and professional purposes. For more information concerning the validity of the ECPE for academic purposes, its holders should address the academic institutions to which they intend to submit it. ECPE holders can obtain the corresponding proficiency certification ("eparkeia") from the Greek Ministry of Education, Lifelong Learning and Religious Affairs.

Happy New Year
17 comments:
Happy New Year! Congratulations on your baby!?
Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog! It is a pleasure to find like-minded people.
So you're making rejuvelac? Do you make sauerkraut by using kefir grains?
I love your pictures of flowers. I love taking pictures of flowers and nature too. Do you have special lighting in your basement for the plants?
Here some of my pictures https://picasaweb.google.com/110244494582329447840/WalkingOnMusicNotesRedBookPictures#5583005076451522738RepliesThank you Eugeniya. Actually, grandbabies - identical twin girls, almost a year old now. The baby on the sidebar is their big sister, who's almost 3 now.
I don't make rejuvelac, but I do make sauerkraut. I make a brine with the vegetable juices and sea salt, and the sauerkraut makes itself! And I make kefir with grains.
Glad you enjoyed the photos. I do have a big high-pressure sodium light in the basement for overwintering tender plants, starting new plants from cuttings, and starting seeds for spring planting.
Thank you for visiting!I love to come back to your blog - the flowers are so beautiful and live!
I wish I could touch and smell them. You know, my favorite book is The secret life of plants. It's interesting that since I was a little girl, I always hugged and felt for trees. I love walking on living spring soil, feeling its softness, seeing the new flowers and buds, hearing the birds...
Did I get carried away?
Even though I like to use therapeutic grade essential oils to heal, I feel sorry for the plants which were used for extraction. I wish I could live on water only.
I hope everything is good with you and your family.
Thank you for stopping by! Comments are welcomed, and while I may not always respond here, I'm happy to pay you a visit.
While comments are invited, links to commercial websites are not, and comments containing them will be deleted.
(Note to spammers: Don't bother. Your comments are promptly deleted. Hiding in older posts won't help - they're moderated.)

Two small M&A deals this morning.
First, apparently Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO, news, filings) isn't solely downsizing itself at the moment. The equipment giant took time out from managing all those pink slips and refocusing its product catalog to do a little M&A. They will be acquiring the AXIOSS software assets and the talent behind them, currently owned by the UK subsidiary of Comptel. Cisco will integrate the fulfillment software assets into its network and service management technology. The acquisition will cost Cisco $31M, and is expected to close by the end of next month.
Second, Skype has agreed to purchase GroupMe, which provides mobile group messaging services and was founded just last year at the Techcrunch Disrupt Hackathon. The deal suggests that Skype intends to beef up its text messaging capabilities, with an eye toward better serving the mobile market. Earlier this year they also bought Qik. Skype on smartphones has had the potential to really shake things up, but the details of the user experience are everything and they are clearly still looking for the right ingredients. Still pending, obviously, is MicroSoft's purchase of Skype itself, the implications of which are still not clear.

United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space
Dear Delegates,
As a Co-Director of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, it is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to HNMUN 2017! I am a junior at Harvard concentrating in East Asian Studies with a focus on Japan and Korea. In addition to my concentration, I spend much of my time studying topics related to gender, sexuality, and physics. In my free time I figure skate, play with dogs, eat sushi, and stargaze. I joined Harvard's International Relations Council in my freshman year because I love how Model UN creates a platform through which college students can deliberate over a variety of interdisciplinary interests while also challenging their negotiation, collaboration, and public speaking skills. I look forward to incorporating my interests into UNCOPUOS at HNMUN 2017.
Over the four days of conference, you will engage with one of two topics— Solar Storms or Asteroids— and their threat to the way of life to which we have grown so accustomed. Both are natural disasters that originate from outer space, and both range from causing a blip on a radar to causing mass extinction. As delegates, you will face the challenge of developing international policy for preventing and handling such disasters, while simultaneously engaging with issues such as responsibility, technology, funding, and public support— all factors that complicate humankind's mastering of the Final Frontier.
During conference, I will be in charge of developing and executing crisis such that committee accurately simulates the unpredictability of space. For HNMUN 2015, I served as an Assistant Director to the Futuristic Commission on Space Development, which provided me with valuable experience in developing space-related crises for the ECOSOC format. For HNMUN 2016, I co-directed the Futuristic Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which also substantially engaged with technology in the context of international affairs through crisis. In combining these experiences and my own personal interests, as a Co-Director, I intend to develop a crisis plan that reflects the unpredictability of space, incorporates science into policy, and encourages substantive strength. I am thrilled to incorporate my own interests in astrophysics and international policy into UNCOPUOS!
Through our shared experience and interest in science, policy, and staffing a relatively science-heavy committee, Sohum and I fully understand the complexity of the issues that will be addressed during conference. If you have any questions or concerns regarding substance or committee structure, feel free to reach out to us via our committee email.
Peace and long life,
Miranda Feliciano Tyson
Co-Director, United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space
Harvard National Model United Nations 2017
Dear Delegates,
As Co-Director of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, I am thrilled to welcome you to the Sixty-Third Session of HNMUN! Over the course of our time together, I hope to challenge you to balance on the cutting edge of science, technology, and policy—fusing the three together, in order to take on questions that are (quite literally) out of this world.
I am a junior at Harvard, where I study Environmental Science and Public Policy, with a focus on the connection between energy and climate change. I am fascinated by the fusion of science and government that powers our society, and have been actively involved in increasing the scientific literacy of public policy research, popular media, and political campaigns. A proud New Jersey native, I have found a wonderful second home here at Harvard. In my free time, I am an enthusiastic (if not exceptionally well-tuned) tenor saxophonist, a voracious consumer of nuclear history, and a chocolate ice cream devotee.
As someone who had never stepped foot in a committee room until sophomore year of college, I love the opportunity Model UN gives us to experience what it is like to be a modern policymaker—to grapple with the intimate connections between technology and geopolitics that are slowly but surely reshaping our society.
Nowhere is that more true than in space. As humanity becomes more and more dependent on technology in our everyday lives, as our population grows and our cities expand, we are also becoming increasingly exposed to the unique kind of low-probability, high-risk threats that come flying out of the heavens without warning.
As delegates to UNCOPUOS, you might choose to confront the prospect of solar storms that threaten to disrupt our communications systems and bring down our energy infrastructure—the nerves and arteries of the modern world. Or, you might choose to contemplate the close calls with asteroids which remind us of our fragility as a species, and the substantial efforts that are needed before we can effectively defend ourselves from these errant chunks of the early solar system.
During committee, I will be your guide to the substantive intricacies of international space policy, the challenges of advanced technological development, and the geopolitics of the Final Frontier. I have experienced Model UN from both sides of the dais, as a competitor for Harvard's intercollegiate team, as well as an Assistant Director for the Futuristic Shanghai Cooperation Organization at HNMUN 2016. As your Co-Directors, Miranda and I hope to combine our Model UN experience with our interests in science, government, international intrigue, and civilization-scale challenges, to develop a rewarding committee experience that will not only challenge your substantive and strategic skills, but also expose you to the frontiers of this brave new world we live in.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via our committee email.
Keep your eye on the skies,
Sohum Pawar
Co-Director, United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space
Harvard National Model United Nations 2017
Topic Area A: Asteroid-Related Disasters
On February 15th, 2013, a 60-foot diameter meteor traveling over fifty times the speed of sound exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia. Due to the brightness of the explosion, hundreds reported burns, temporary blindness, and eye pain. The subsequent shock wave of the explosion shattered windows for miles, causing over a thousand people to seek medical attention for lacerations from glass. The shock wave, upon reaching the ground, caused a seismic disruption that registered as would a magnitude 2.7 earthquake. Though there were no reported deaths due to the meteor, Chelyabinsk and surrounding areas experienced infrastructural damage in over 6,000 buildings which cost approximately $33 million to repair.
A phenomenon with a wide variety of disaster potential, asteroids come in many shapes and sizes, ranging from ones that are too small to even survive through earth's atmosphere, to ones that are so large that they can cause mass-extinction level events such as one experienced by the dinosaurs. Despite the devastating potential that asteroids have, the international community has yet to develop policy to handle any magnitude of asteroid. The astrophysics community may provide a scientific recommendation on how to handle an earth-bound space-rock, but it is up to the international community to determine how to organize the appropriate resources, technology, and public support to ensure that such a plan can be carried out.
For this topic area of UNCOPUOS, delegates must grapple with how humankind can combine both science and policy to ensure that we are well-equipped to handle any sort of asteroid that approaches earth. Whose responsibility is it to deflect an asteroid and/or handle the damage caused by a deflectable asteroid that hits earth? How do we handle both the injuries and infrastructural damage caused by undetectable asteroids such as in the case of Chelyabinsk? How might the international community involve the growing spacefaring private sector in their technological efforts in handling asteroids? These are all questions that delegates must grapple with in developing a comprehensive resolution for this topic area.
Topic Area B: Solar Storms
On September 1, 1859, sky-watchers around the world gazed up in awe, as the Northern Lights lit up the skies all the way from the Arctic to Cuba. But it wasn't just those with their eyes to the heavens who took note of this otherworldly phenomenon: across the United States and Europe, telegraph systems failed, in sudden eruptions of sparks and flames. Fast forward to the early hours of March 13, 1989. Without warning, Quebec's entire electrical grid collapsed just before 3:00 am, leaving six million people without power, in a matter of minutes. The culprit in both cases? A solar storm, striking at the Achilles heel of modern civilization.
Solar storms are a natural phenomenon: the Sun regularly emits brilliant bursts of radiation known as solar flares, often accompanied by giant tongues of charged particles called coronal mass ejections. When these emissions—as powerful as billions of nuclear weapons—slam into the Earth's atmosphere, they can wreak havoc with modern technology. Solar storms can disrupt GPS systems, damage satellites and electronics on the ground, and even—as we saw in 1859, and again in 1989—knock entire communications networks and electrical grids offline. In today's world, the ripple effects from such a storm would touch every sector of society, from public health, to finance, to national security, potentially causing upwards of $2 trillion in damage to critical global infrastructure.
While a storm of this magnitude is far from imminent, solar storms of all shapes and sizes pose an ongoing challenge for our increasingly technology-dependent society. And yet, the international community currently lacks a comprehensive policy approach to dealing with the disruption caused by solar storms. In choosing this topic area, delegates to UNCOPUOS will grapple with questions much like those faced by real policymakers every day, as they strive to meet the demands of a world that is increasingly complex and technologically advanced, and yet, just as fragile as ever.
Can the global community try to preempt the effects of solar storms, or are we limited to trying to limit the damage they can do? Can international efforts drive development and adoption of advanced, solar storm-resistant technologies? If so, whose responsibility is it to support those efforts? How can we build coalitions to tackle such low-probability, massive-impact threats? What's the best way to prevent global systems from grinding to a halt, due to ripple effects? And will a plan put in place today really hold up in the face of a solar storm? These are just a few of the questions delegates will have the opportunity to explore further in committee.

Really lovely. These have a similar vibe to Tove Jansson's illustrations, too (which is a definite good thing).
I first encountered the work of Beatrice Braun-Fock on BibliOdyssey and was immediately charmed. Thank you for posting more and for sharing the link to Illuopa - yet another wonderful blog!
Thank you both for near-instant feedback.JRSM, my partner just read Summer Book and loved it. I'm next. Thanks for the recommendation! (Love Jansson's illustrations.)
Love The North Wind especially, but they're all so charming!
The Summer Book is one of my all time favourite books, so lovely and atmospheric, a real holiday for the mind. I'm loving Beatrice Braun-Fock. Thanks for introducing.
LOVE this! I'm almost sure I saw this in my childhood -the drawing style looks so very familiar. This just makes me love the snow even more (true).

Art Students League, ...and We Breath
September 15, 2016 to September 15, 2017
Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
The Art Students League of New York, one of America's premier art schools, presents the Model to Monument Program (M2M), a collaboration with NYC Parks that has culminated in the installation of the collaborative sculpture, …and We Breathe, at Van Cortlandt Park. This is the sixth year for the M2M program, which has installed nearly 50 monumental works in NYC parks since 2011. This piece by all seven M2M sculptors celebrates and explores the various aspects of "Air," this year's theme for Van Cortlandt Park. This installation was created by artists Aaron Bell, Sheila Berger, James Mikhel Emerson, Tanda Francis, Markus Rudolph Holtby, Shiho Sato, and Sarah Thompson Moore. The group also has works concurrently on view in Riverside South Park in Manhattan.
This work was made possible by the Art Students League's Model to Monument Program.
Diana Perea, Bronx Tracks
July 2016 to July 2017
Railroad Park, Bronx
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Created by Bronx artist Diana Perea, the Bronx Tracks was inspired by French muralist Nelio as well as the unique sounds, movement and cityscape of the Bronx. The mural is a site-specific installation designed to activate the park and to create a more pedestrian-friendly experience along E. 161st Street between the bustling courthouse center at Morris Avenue and the less trafficked three-block stretch to Elton Avenue. A team of young DreamYard artists and an intergenerational team of community volunteers installed the mural, spurring conversation, creativity, and a new favorite destination among community members and groups.
The mural's abstract forms and vibrant colors reenergize Railroad Park, the adjacent NYCHA Morrisania Air Rights building, and the path to the often-overlooked Metro North Station directly behind it. Perea's innovative techniques emphasize the beauty of the existing structures, and the mural's influences by Picasso, Delaunay, Kandinsky, and Malevich can be admired by all who play in and pass by Railroad Park and E. 161st Street.
This exhibit is presented by WHEDco and The DreamYard Project in partnership with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA).
Chat Travieso, Boogie Down Booth
May 17, 2016 to May 17, 2017
O'Neill Triangle, Bronx
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
This colorful new public installation brings music, solar–powered lights, seating, and community art to an underutilized space in Morrisania. This is the third Boogie Down Booth, designed by artist Chat Travieso. The first booth was installed at Southern Boulevard and Freeman Street, under the 2/5 line, in 2014, and the second was installed in Seabury Park in 2015 and will remain on view through June 24, 2016.
This booth Boogie Down Booth has solar–powered speakers that stream music that originated in the Bronx, including salsa, jazz, Afro–Caribbean, hip–hop, Garifuna, and blues. The playlist, curated by the Bronx Music Heritage Center, both celebrates the rich musical heritage of the borough and masks construction and vehicular traffic noise on the 161st Street corridor. The installation also provides much–needed picnic–style seating and solar–powered lighting to the park, which is located close to a bus stop, Boricua College, and 1,000+ units of housing. The booth also incorporates interactive elements like a community bulletin board and artwork by local artists and students. Community partners including DreamYard, BronxWorks, and Boricua College, who will collaborate on various activities at the booth throughout the year.
This exhibition is presented by WHEDco and the Bronx Music Heritage Center .
Jacob Farber, Rene
August 22, 2016 to August 13, 2017
Valentino Pier, Brooklyn
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
René is comprised of scrap wood found in nearby Gowanus, Brooklyn. The sculpture speaks to the community members and organizations that are being forgotten as neighborhoods develop. This work enhances the conversations related to sustainability and usefulness as they apply to Brooklyn, but also other communities where residents, businesses, and artists have been forced out by neighborhood change. Farber hopes that this work will serve as a reminder that communities can come together and find a sustainable way in which to move forward. The name of the sculpture relates to the theme of again finding a voice, being found, and–through cooperation and collaboration–being reborn
Carole Eisner, Monumental Sculptures at Prospect Park
May 2016 to May 2017
Prospect Park, Brooklyn
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
For more than 45 years Eisner has been welding massive abstract sculptures from scrap and recycled metal. The four works that will be on view in Prospect Park are from a series Eisner created in the past 10 years from I–beams, rolled and twisted to create lyrical, elegant forms. This yearlong exhibition utilizes four key sites throughout the Park, chosen to maximize visitor access. The grassy triangle entrance facing Grand Army Plaza is home to Dancer, a 17–foot tall sculpture which spirals and soars upwards. Zerques, one of the smaller sculptures standing six and half feet tall will be placed on the lawn in front of the historic Litchfield Villa on 5th Street. Skipper, rising 13 feet and also constructed with curved I–beams, will greet visitors entering the Park from Bartel–Pritchard Square. Valentine II, named for its elegant heart shaped form, will be placed on the Peninsula in front of the Lake.
This exhibition is presented by Susan Eley Fine Art and the Prospect Park Alliance.
Henry Taylor, the floaters
March 17, 2017 to March 2018
The High Line, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Henry Taylor is a painter known for his intimate depictions of people, capturing a wide range of subjects that span from his close friends and family, to strangers whose appearances strike him, to celebrities within the African American community. His color–blocked compositions evoke compassion and a sense of shared space, setting the viewer in close conversation with those pictured.
For the High Line, Taylor presents a new version of a self-portrait adapted specifically for its setting on the side of a building at West 22nd Street. The work depicts the artist and a friend "blissed out," relaxing in a swimming pool at a friend's house in Palm Springs. Reminiscent of David Hockney's paintings of Los Angeles swimming pools from the 1960s, the floaters, a title which references the eponymous Detroit R&B group, portrays the artist in a moment of pure, leisurely happiness.
This exhibition is presented by High Line Art.
KAWS, New York Made: Stanton Street Courts
November 17, 2016 to November 16, 2017
Sara D. Roosevelt Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
New York Made: Stanton Street Courts by KAWS encompass two side-by-side full basketball courts (approximately 116 by 80 feet), as well as four hoops. "My approach to the courts was very similar to how I would work on canvas. I wanted to create something that was true to my language, but also considerate of this being a court that people are playing on," the Brooklyn–based, world–renowned artist Brian Donnelly (KAWS) explains. "I wanted to find the sweet spot where it works visually and functionally – how its broken up by the game's lines and works with my images. It will have an intimate effect on the players that use the court."
KAWS first moved to Manhattan in 1996, and lived on the corner of Clinton and Stanton Street. His familiarity with the park and its neighborhood is thus extremely personal.
This exhibition is presented with Nike.
Amanda Long, Wishing Well
October 29, 2016 to October 3, 2017
Dyckman Farmhouse Museum, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Wishing Well, a playful, site-specific, interactive sculpture, is an updated, technological interpretation of a fairy tale wishing well, a popular theme in European folklore. Wishing wells were believed to grant requests by way of magical waters or deities residing within. Visitors of all ages are encouraged to speak a wish into the well. The words are translated into a video ripple inside, and an echo repeats the words back. Turning the well's crank activates video and microphone recordings, which are captured in a database inside the sculpture. The recordings will be curated and presented on a dedicated website, wishingwellnyc.org, bringing the artwork beyond the physical space of the park.
The Dyckman Farmhouse, a Dutch Colonial style farmhouse built c. 1784, was opened as a museum in 1916. Today it is nestled in a small garden and is an extraordinary reminder of early Manhattan and important part of the diverse Inwood neighborhood. The original well has long been absent from the house, although a replacement well-head was constructed around 1915-1916 during the restoration of the farmhouse. This well-head was removed sometime in the 1980's and replaced by a simple wood platform. Installed at the site of the original well on the Dyckman property, Long's video sculpture enlivens the vacant well site as a fantasy restoration.
This exhibition is presented by the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum and the Historic House Trust, with support from the New York State Council on the Arts.
Liz Glynn, Open House
March 1, 2017 to September 24, 2017
Doris C. Freedman Plaza
Central Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Open House transforms Doris C. Freedman Plaza into an open air ballroom where only scattered furniture and arches remain eight blocks south from the original mansion. It references one of the grandest Fifth Avenue interiors designed by Gilded Age architect Stanford White: the now–demolished William C. Whitney Ballroom.Glynn's lavish Louis XIV sofas, chairs, and footstools evoke the historic home, but with a twist–these objects feature sculpted additions and are cast in concrete, a populist material more commonly seen in modern architecture. With this revision, the artist invites the public to enjoy a previously exclusive interior space that is now open and accessible to all.
This exhibition is presented by Public Art Fund.
Martin Ramone Delossantos, Little Oil Well
October 5, 2016 to August 6, 2017
Ahearn Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
This work by Hoboken–based artist Martin Ramone Delossantos is an abstraction of an oil well. Consisting of a four–part lower portion made of thick steel tubes, the sculpture is topped by two bicycle wheels that give it a kinetic quality. Delossantos is a sculptor, painter, and artisan who creates whimsical sculptures out of metal and found metal objects that interact with space. His sculptures represent rhythm, feelings, and emotions. The artist hopes that this work will bring attention to the vibrant arts community in his hometown of Hoboken across the Hudson River. This is only the second exhibit ever placed in Ahearn Park, on New York's Lower East Side.
Bjorn Skaarup, Hippo Ballerina
February 7, 2017 to July 31, 2017
Dante Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
"Hippo Ballerina," a copper tutu-clad bronze sculpture standing over 15 feet tall, by Danish artist Bjørn Skaarup plants her sizable slippered feet across from Lincoln Center. Inspired by Degas' "Little Dancer Aged Fourteen" and the dancing hippos of Walt Disney's "Fantasia," "Hippo Ballerina" vividly illustrates the artist's ability to reinterpret subjects and themes found in ancient myths, art history, modern animation, and contemporary popular culture in playful ways that engage the viewer. This is Skaarup's first US public art installation.
This exhibition is presented by Cavalier Galleries.
Kevin Beasley, Who's Afraid to Listen to Red, Black and GreenΑ
August 25, 2016 to July 25, 2017
Morningside Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Kevin Beasley is a New York-based artist interested in materials, sculpture, sound, and social exchange. Each of these three sculptures features a color of the Pan-African flag and consists of a mixture of resin, clothing, and housedresses sourced from a dress shop in East Harlem. Beasley calls the sculptures "acoustic mirrors," and invites visitors to listen carefully as one speaks, sings, or otherwise projects sound into them.

Simone Leigh, A particularly elaborate imba yokubikira, or kitchen house, stands locked up while its owners live in diaspora
August 25, 2016 to July 25, 2017
Marcus Garvey Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Simone Leigh is a Brooklyn-based artist with a longstanding interest in African and African-American material culture and women's work. These three round, clay-and-thatch hybrid sculptures, called imbas, resemble kitchen houses from rural areas of Zimbabwe and were created in collaboration with architect Maxwell Mutanda. They celebrate the expansiveness of the African diaspora, but also evoke the experience of living outside the place considered home.

St. Nicholas Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
A New York native now based in Los Angeles, Kori Newkirk is well known for creating multimedia works, often using materials associated with urban black life. Reminiscent of the artist's signature beaded curtains, this work reframes the steps rising from St. Nicholas Avenue, and invites park visitors to reimagine an ordinary walk as a ceremonial procession.

Jackie Robinson Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
A longtime resident of Upper Manhattan, Rudy Shepherd creates sculptures and performances intended to dispel people's feelings of prejudice, violence, or disdain.

Kenny Scharf, TotemOh
June 22, 2016 to June 21, 2017
116th street
East River Esplanade, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
This vibrant mural by internationally renowned artist Kenny Scharf is installed along the waterfront at 116th Street on the East River Esplanade in Harlem. Painted on an idle brick column, the totem of colorful faces is designed in Scharf's recognizable cartoon-inspired style. A banner spanning over 50 feet, NEVERENDINGOGO, is installed adjacent to the column and will be on view through September 30, 2016. This public artwork corresponds with an exhibition of the artist's work at the Nassau County Museum of Art in Roslyn Harbor, NY.
This exhibition is presented by the Friends of the East River Esplanade (60th-120th Streets).
Aaron Schraeter, Birdhouse Repo
January 30, 2017 to June 6, 2017
First Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Birdhouse Repo reflects on the effects of a constantly growing population alongside income disparities in one of the world's fastest moving cities. This oversized birdhouse, which is boarded up and placed under foreclosure, sits in the heart of a neighborhood that is one of the most historical and notable examples of New York City's gentrification and the real estate bubble. Simply put, the city has become so expensive that even the birds cannot afford to live here. This work is Aaron Schaeter's first public sculpture exhibition.
This exhibition is presented by First Street Green.
Art Students League, Model to Monument (M2M)
June 16, 2016 to May 16, 2017
Riverside Park South, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
The Art Students League of New York, one of America's premier art schools, presents the Model to Monument Program (M2M), a collaboration with NYC Parks that has culminated in the installation of seven sculptures on view along Riverside Park South from 59th to 69th Streets. This is the sixth year at Riverside Park for the M2M program, which has installed nearly 50 monumental works in NYC parks since 2011.
The sculptures were created by an international team of selected League students during a nine-month program. The pieces for this exhibition explore Art in the Public Square.

The collaborative sculpture in Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx for 2016 is entitled …And We Breathe.
This work was made possible by the Art Students League's Model to Monument Program and the Riverside Park Conservancy.
Naomi Lawrence, Lotus
May 3, 2016 to May 1, 2017
Eugene McCabe Field, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Chain link fences are ubiquitous. Naomi Lawrence uses these common spaces to frame color and texture in surprising ways, creating interaction between fibers, colors, fences, sidewalks, and passing pedestrians. Lawrence believes that small artistic gestures of intricate, colorful crochet can prompt reflection and appreciation for often overlooked or unappreciated corners of the urban enviornment.
This work is an extension of May 2016's FLUX Public Art Projects, a FLUX Art Fair initiative. FLUX embodies Harlem's creative spirit and cultural significance by bringing together original works, from large sculptural works and sound pieces to performance art and thought-provoking installations.
This exhibition is presented by Art in FLUX, FLUX Art Fair, and Marcus Garvey Park Alliance.
Lionel Smit, MORPHOUS
June 13, 2016 to April 30, 2017
Union Square Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
MORPHOUS is an exploration of hybrid identity and its ever-changing nature within South Africa's social landscape. This bronze sculpture, featuring the conjoined heads of two outward-gazing young women, evokes the question of time, of past and future, and a societal commentary without judgment. The "double-vision" portrayed in this work is simultaneously a foretelling of things to come and an acknowledgement of what has already passed. The figures are charged with an emotive and gestural energy, a hallmark of Smit's evocative work. The spontaneous gestures in his three dimensional figural forms animate the beauty and grace of the faces he sees in the neighborhoods around his studio. The scale of his work invokes both a sense of celebration and power.
This is the South African artist's first public art installation in the United States, and will be complemented by an exhibition of his work at CYNTHIA-REEVES' gallery in North Adams, MA in July and August 2016. This exhibition is presented by CYNTHIA-REEVES, Union Square Partnership, and Art New York/Art Miami.
Various Artists, Sculptural Models for the High Line Plinth
February 10, 2017 to April 30, 2017
The High Line, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
On view on the High Line at West 14th Street, this exhibition showcases 12 sculptural models of shortlisted proposals for the High Line Plinth, a new landmark destination for major public art commissions. Located on the High Line at West 30th Street and 10th Avenue, the High Line Plinth was designed as the focal point of the Spur, the newest section of the High Line. The Plinth is one of the only sites in New York City dedicated solely to a changing series of new, contemporary art commissions. The High Line Plinth is inspired by the Fourth Plinth in London's Trafalgar Square, a widely respected, high-profile venue for a changing program of temporary commissioned artworks, whose influence reaches far beyond the art world and inspires dialogue amongst the general public.
After collecting and reviewing more than 50 proposals from a wide range of artists recommended by an international advisory committee, High Line Art has selected 12 shortlisted proposals by artists Jonathan Berger, Minerva Cuevas, Jeremy Deller, Sam Durant, Charles Gaines, Lena Henke, Matthew Day Jackson, Simone Leigh, Roman Ondak, Paola Pivi, Haim Steinbach, and Cosima von Bonin. The artists are a diverse group in terms of age, nationality, and stage in their careers. In spring 2017, two out of the 12 shortlisted proposals will be selected as the first two High Line Plinth commissions. The first artwork will be installed in 2018 to coincide with the opening of the Spur, and each artwork will be on view for 18 months.
This exhibition is presented by the Friends of the High Line.
Yasumitsu Morito, Spirit of New York City
October 25, 2016 to April 25, 2017
Carl Schurz Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Japanese artist Yasumitsu Morito designed Spirit of New York City to harmonize with the setting of Carl Schurz Park. The work sits just above the Hoop Garden, surrounded by trees lining the pathway to the promenade along the East River. Yasumitsu's work addresses the human form within space, what it is to be human, and how the human spirit responds to social, political, and religious circumstances. For this installation, he considered both the practical and aesthetic experiences of the viewer. The sculpture conveys a sense of spiritual presence and prompts park visitors to contemplate the past, present, and future of sculpture in tandem with that of the park. Sitting on a vessel symbolizing the melting pot, the human figure represents a moment of serene contemplation amidst the commotion of the city.
Phyllis Hammond, Beyond the Edge
October 15, 2016 to April 16, 2017
Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Hamptons-based artist Phyllis Hammond has created five new sculptures for Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, entitled Tempo, Alien, Flying, Gateway, and Sign of Freedom. Exhibited together under the title Beyond the Edge, the steel and aluminum sculptures feature narrow stem-like bases topped by whimsical, kinetic elements that rotate in the wind. Hammond uses an improvisational method to create her colorful, large-scale sculptures. The metal cutouts are based on playful, looping doodles on paper that she scans and modifies using a computer program. Once the drawings have been refined digitally, the designs are cut from sheets of metal using a water jet machine. After the metal shapes are hammered, bent and welded into curved shapes, they are powder-coated with brightly colored paint.
Martin Puryear, Big Bling
May 16, 2016 to April 2, 2017
Madison Square Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
This temporary outdoor work, the thirty–third public art exhibition mounted by Mad. Sq. Art, the free contemporary art program of Madison Square Park Conservancy, is a multi–tier wood structure wrapped in fine chain–link fence. A gold–leafed shackle is anchored near the top of the structure. At forty feet high, Big Bling achieves colossal scale and elicits a range of readings, stimulating diverse and profound interpretations of its meaning.
The largest temporary outdoor sculpture Puryear has created, Big Bling is part animal form, part abstract sculpture, and part intellectual meditation. The artist's signature organic vocabulary appears in a graceful, sinewy outline and an amoeboid form in the work's center. Big Bling's architectural language suggests a building that is accessible by ascension through its levels. Its stories are obstructed by chain–link fence, a barrier to entry, which covers all visible surfaces of the sculpture. In contrast to the coarse materials employed throughout most of the work, the gold shackle is a shimmering beacon that simultaneously adorns and restrains.
This exhibition is presented by Madison Square Park Conservancy.
Barbara Kruger, Untitled (Blind Idealism Is...)
March 21,2016 to March 2017
The High Line, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Barbara Kruger is an American artist who works with pictures and words. Kruger uses the fluency she developed as a graphic designer for publications such Mademoiselle, House & Garden, and Aperture, to inform her work as an artist, insistently addressing the issues of power, property, money, race, and sexuality. Over the past three decades her work has ranged from the photographic merging of image and text, to immersive video installations, to room-wrapping textual exhibitions, to large-scale outdoor displays of words and images. Two of her best-known works – Your body is a battleground and I shop therefore I am – also showcase the feminist overtones of her artworks, and her concentration on women as a lucrative site for advertising and consumerism.
For the High Line, Kruger presents Untitled (Blind Idealism Is…), a new work realized as a hand-painted mural. Continuing her unabashed criticism of culture and power, the mural features the slogan "BLIND IDEALISM IS REACTIONARY SCARY DEADLY," an adaptation of a quote from Afro-Caribbean philosopher and revolutionary thinker Frantz Fanon, which has appeared in multiple works by the artist. The original statement by Fanon, "Blind idealism is reactionary," suggests that political and religious convictions stem from the situations from which they grow, not from the inherent nature of individual human beings. According to Kruger, the work reflects "how we are to one another" within "the days and nights that construct us." These texts, along with Kruger's own writings, resonate with particular potency in today's political climate.
Dee Briggs, Dee Briggs in Foley Square
April 11, 2016 to March 31, 2017
Thomas Paine Park, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Dee Briggs' three new sculptures for Dee Briggs in Foley Square directly address her fascination with geometry and the particular operation of symmetry called chirality or three-dimensional handedness. Chirality is defined by a three dimensional entity that has no internal plane of symmetry along the x, y or z-axis.
Briggs states that her work "grows out of mathematics and architecture – geometry, symmetry and rhythm – line, plane and volume – visual perception and spatial understanding. They are three-dimensional patterns that are at once familiar and foreign. Heavy forms that imply weightlessness creating a tempting and engaging spatial experience."
Nari Ward, Smart Tree
April 2016 to March 2017
The High Line, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Inspired by a building adjacent to the High Line that had been transformed into an indoor parking lot, Nari Ward reconfigures a memory from his childhood for his High Line Commission, Smart Tree. Returning to his father's home in Jamaica after fifteen years away, Ward remembers finding one of two abandoned cars in the front yard sprouting a lime tree. He reimagines this fantastical story for the High Line in the form of a Smart car refinished with strips of tire treads and propped up on cinder blocks. In place of a lime tree, Smart Tree will feature an apple tree growing out of its roof, adapted out of necessity for its North American context. With the car's cinderblock base representing stasis, and its coating of tire treads suggesting perpetual movement, Ward's Smart Tree holds up a mirror to the flux surrounding the High Line itself and reminds viewers of the High Line's history as a major transportation artery in Manhattan.
This exhibition is presented by the Friends of the High Line.
Kathryn Andrews, Sunbathers I & II
May 2016 to March 2017
The High Line, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
For the High Line, Kathryn Andrews presents her first public art commission, responding to two contrasting aspects of the elevated park: its relationship to nearby billboards and to the natural landscape. Andrews describes the High Line's environment as a "hyper-surreal image world," composed of large-scale advertisements and commercial signs that surround park visitors as they stroll high above the bustling cityscape. Andrews notes, by contrast, that the High Line's physical design offers visitors a chance to develop awareness of the body in relation to extreme natural weather conditions including intense winds, rain, snow, and sun.
Andrews's first sculpture, Sunbathers I, is a towering box-like structure, silkscreened with a black-and-white stock image of a public beach sign that announces, "Beyond This Point You May Encounter Nude Sunbathers." Installed at West 18th Street, the sculpture houses misting nozzles that spray water intermittently at passers-by. Placing this work on the High Line, where nudity is not allowed draws attention to the more risqué social mores displayed on nearby billboards. The second sculpture, Sunbathers II, installed under The Standard, High Line, is a large, horizontal aluminum box containing a giant fan and featuring a photograph of an ice cream cone. The fan's movement is juxtaposed with the adjacent static image, mirroring the park itself.
This exhibition is presented by the Friends of the High Line.
Various Artist, Wanderlust
April 21, 2016 to March 2017
The High Line, Manhattan
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Wanderlust is a group exhibition that explores the themes of walking, journeys, and pilgrimages. Inspired by the High Line as an ambulatory space experienced most naturally in motion, Wanderlust extends the tradition of Conceptual art wherein the act of walking served as an inspiration for many artists who explored life both in the urban context and in an ambivalent confrontation with nature.
On the High Line, itself an urban promenade that combines nature and architecture, the act of walking is both celebrated and taken for granted. Wanderlust invites viewers to remember the many implications of the journeys and walks they take every day, placing them within a secular tradition that expands beyond art into both everyday life and our shared cultural histories.
Wanderlust will feature eleven international artists: Giorgio Andreotta Calò, Valentin Carron, Iman Issa, Matt Johnson, Marie Lorenz, Tony Matelli, Paulo Nazareth, Mike Neslon, Roman Ondak, Susan Philipsz, and Rayyane Tabet.
This exhibition is presented by the Friends of the High Line.
Jennifer Cecere, Double Doily
November 18, 2016 to November 17, 2017
PS1 Greenstreet (Jackson Avenue and 46th Avenue), Queens
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Jennifer Cecere's artwork aims to integrate a feeling of domestic handiwork into the built environment. Doilies were invented by industrious women to hide and protect worn and frayed furnishings (maybe feelings too). Through the variety of materials that they can be made from, the ways in which they can be displayed, and their references to a variety of subject matter makes doilies very diverse. This double–sided, doily–shaped bench enlivens this small park in the midst of a busy thoroughfare and new construction by taking something intimate and domestic and placing it outdoors. The handicraft of the bench demonstrates a familiarity with domestic materials that ties us with our fragile environment and revives traditions that when integrated with art and architecture reflect our hopes and dreams.
Staten Island
Susan Stair, Tree Reflections
October 15, 2016 to October 14, 2017
Conference House Park, Staten Island
Map/Directions (in Google Maps)
Tree Reflections is a series of clay tiles cast from two Osage Orange trees combined with mosaic pieces that tells the story of two parks. The main components of this artwork are cast from an Osage Orange tree in Marcus Garvey Park near the artist's home in Harlem. After visiting Conference House Park, Stair cast four clay extensions from the Osage Orange tree there, which were added to the existing artwork. Stair's aims to create portraits of trees through her work. The clay that she presses onto living trees records their species, age, and strength. She was particularly attracted to the trees' remarkable patterns, bending forms, and endurance, physical qualities that demonstrate the unique historical importance of this species.
An additional exhibition of Stair's work in the Conference House Park Visitor Center's Lenape Gallery will open on November 25 as part of Native American Heritage month.

Christmas Knitting is DONE!
I just finished 1/2 hr ago! The last gifts still need to be wrapped, but everything is done. I just finished these socks for DH's Grandpa. They are acrylic, but will stand up to the laundry at the retirement home he lives in, so that should be fine.
Also finished a while ago is the hat and scarf for MIL. She'll be getting these along with the clogs posted in a previous thread.
Oh, and here is my ACE of Hearts.. leaving chocolate milk and buttertarts for Santa, as he's coming a day early to our house so we can travel for the holidays.
I'm now trying to figure out what to put on the needles for myself for the next few days. It will either be a pair of socks, or a shawl. If it's a shawl, I need to decide if I'm making it out of handspun yarn, or storebought. Decisions, decisions... best get ready for "Santa" first!
