هذه الصورة تعود لعام 1905 بعنوان "قافلة على زلاجة".

بحلول أواخر تسعينيات القرن التاسع عشر، حلت الخيول محل الثيران في عمليات قطع الأشجار. كانت الخيول أكثر قدرةً على التحمل وليس لها قرون.

هذا الفريق المكون من 10 خيول يسحب جذوع الأشجار المربوطة ببعضها البعض.

لمدة 75 عامًا بعد التقاط هذه الصورة، ظلت المرأة الجالسة على جذع الشجرة، والتي ترتدي ملابس لا تشبه ملابس الحطابين، مجهولة الهوية. وعندما تم تكبير الصورة لعرضها في المتحف في عام 2017 ، تم التعرف علي��ا. كانت تابيثا كينزي ترافق زوجها إلى موقع البناء في ذلك اليوم.

Sydney Mortimer Laurence (1865–1940) was an American Romantic landscape painter and (as of 1923) Alaska's most prominent.

from askart.com ...

"Laurence was a native of Brooklyn, New York, and attended Peekskill Military Academy in New York sometime before 1885...

"....In Zulu, he lost his hearing, and he was injured in the Boer War...

"...For unknown reasons, Laurence left his wife and two young sons in England, where she remained for most of the remainder of her life. He traveled to Alaska around 1903, and from 1904 into 1908, was in Tyonek on the north shore of Cook Inlet, and in 1906, he filed claims near Talkeetna on Poor Man Creek. Although he had very little success as a miner, he continued to paint, including a canvas called Cordova that is in the Whatcom Museum in Bellingham, Washington.

"Laurence found abundant inspiration for his art in Alaska, and by 1920 he had established a studio in Anchorage and had become the territory's most prominent painter. In 1923 he established a studio in Los Angeles, where he remarried in 1928. The rest of his life he spent most winters in Los Angeles or Seattle, returning to Alaska to paint nearly every summer..."

American actor James Dean passed away at the age of 24 on this day in 1955 when he was involved in a wreck while driving his Porsche 550 Spyder. Dean, who starred in such movies as East of Eden, Giant and Rebel Without a Cause, was a beloved actor who took up an interest in auto racing in 1954. He first purchased Triumph Tiger T110 and a Porsche 356. He participated in his first professional race at Palm Springs Road Races March 26-27, 1955. He won first place in the novice and second in the main event.

His final race was May 30, 1955. He had to stop racing to film the movie Giant. After wrapping up his scenes for the movie Dean longed to get back in the drivers' seat. He was scheduled for a race in Salinas and was on his way there on this day in 1955 when he was ticketed for speeding at 3:30 pm in his Porsche 550. Approximately an hour and 45 minutes later at 5:15 a 1950 Ford Tudor went to turn in front of Dean. He could not stop in time and slammed into the vehicle, killing him almost instantly as a result of several injuries, including a broken neck. The man in the Ford walked away with minor injuries. Dean’s passenger and Porsche mechanic suffered a broken jaw and serious hip and femur injuries.

In 1956 he wrecked car was sold to hot rod builder George Barris who decided to take it on tour as a sort of side-show. After a number of mishaps involving the car, including the death of a driver who put the Porsche’s engine in his racecar and crashed, and the car crushing a tow truck driver, it was assumed the Porsche was cursed. In 1960 the car was being transported in a sealed truck back to LA after a tour. When the truck arrived and was opened it was found the car had disappeared. To this day nobody knows the whereabouts of the car, but a man in Bellingham, Washington last laid claim to a $1 million prize offered by the Volo Auto Museum in Chicago, stating he saw the car being hidden behind a false wall in a building in Whatcom County. This was in 2015 and the story has yet to be authenticated.

“The ice and the long moonlit polar nights, with all their yearning, seemed like a far-off dream from another world— a dream that had come and passed away. But what would life be worth without its dreams? - Fridtjof Nansen, “Farthest North,” 1897

This publication introduces the artistic legacy of the planet's frozen frontiers now threatened by a changing climate. Tracing the impact of glaciers, icebergs, and fields of ice on artists' imaginations, “Vanishing Ice” explores the connections between generations of artists who have adopted different styles, media, and approaches to interpret alpine and polar landscapes.

LYLE WILSON: KITAMAAT HAISLA ARTIST.

Lyle Wilson is a Haisla artist from British Columbia: born at C’idax (Butedale Cannery); spent his early years in Kitamaat Village; moved to the town-site of Kitimat from grade 4-9; then moved back to Kitamaat Village from grade 10-12; after graduating from Mount Elizabeth Secondary School, he worked at Alcan for a year before eventually moving to Vancouver to seek a post-secondary education at the University of British Columbia and the Emily Carr College of Art and Design.

The Haisla people are often referred to as Northern Kwakuitl, however their historic artistic style is, mainly, influenced by the Kwakuitl, Tsimshian, Bella Bella and Bella Coola. The name Kitamaat means “People of the Snow“; which refers to the large snow-fall  during the winters. Tsimshian guests who visited the Haisla in mid-winter arrived to see people emerging from traditional bighouses that were completely buried by the snow. Thus, the name Kitamaat was given to the Haisla.

The Haisla Clan system was originally matrilineal and, although he was born into the Beaver Clan, Lyle was formally adapted into his father’s Eagle Clan. Due to high death rates at that time, his Eagle grandmother adapted both Lyle and his sister to bolster the numbers of the Eagle Clan (his sister has now returned to the Beaver Clan).

“I was always aware, and appreciative, of Haisla art after seeing a few old carvings at village places/events. My first living artistic influence was my uncle Sam Robinson — a full-time carver who carved at a time-period when everyone assumed Pacific Northwest Coast carving was a dying art-form consigned to the past; consequently, there was no wide-spread recognition of Northwest Coast art as there is now.

I watched Sam and occasionally whittled to the best of my ability. I didn’t really seriously consider art as a profession until after attending the University of British Columbia — I enrolled, & completed, 5 years of the N.I.T.E.P. and Secondary Art Education programs.

I found time in the studio more interesting and eventually left UBC for further studies at the Emily Carr College of Art and Design (now the Emily Carr University of Art & Design). I graduated with a print-making diploma and began to try develop an individual artistic style — using my life experiences, formal education at UBC and ECUAD as the roots in all my art work: prints, wood carvings, paintings, drawings and gold/silver jewellery.

I also prefer working by myself, because I believe that the individual personality shows itself in the finished work — so I’m reluctant to involve others in my artistic projects unless absolutely necessary. Even the extra large carving I try to do mostly myself so I can keep my personality in my work.

I’m one of the few Pacific Northwest Coast artists fortunate to have an extensive formal, post-secondary education. I’m a life-long student/carver who has interests in numerous areas that — hopefully — enrich whatever work I produce.”

Opening Jan. 24 | Americana: Priscilla Dobler & Hillerbrand+Magsamen

RSVP on Facebook!

Americana: Priscilla Dobler-Dzul & Hillerbrand+Magsamen Opening Thursday, January 24th, 6:00 – 8:00pm 125 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038

Art-in-Buildings is pleased to announce the newest exhibition in the atrium and lobby of 125 Maiden Lane: Americana.

Americana, featuring work by Priscilla Dobler and Hillerbrand+Magsamen, explores the domestic manifestation of American identity and family. The exhibition title, which references the collective sense of American culture and history, also serves as the Spanish word for an American woman. Examining the personal and social, the work on view constructs means of and mechanisms for creating connections. Employing sculpture, photography, and video, Dobler and Hillerbrand+Magsamen present painstakingly hand crafted objects considering domestic spaces and ruminating on the concept of the American home.

Priscilla Dobler’s work investigates how a globalized society constructs an individual’s sense of identity, and how architectural spaces represent gender roles and cultural structures. Her practice strips down and reconstructs objects in an exploration of the artist’s familial history and ancestry. In the atrium of 125 Maiden Lane, Dobler’s installation La Sala recreates her mother’s living room out of woven furniture objects. Dobler incorporates the strong structure and craftsmanship of traditional Mayan hammocks into the materials and colors of her woven structures, drawing inspiration from her mother’s lineage of hammock weavers. Projected video of interviews conducted in individuals’ living rooms in Tacoma, WA center on the political and social structures of identity. Representative of working middle class America and American identity, Dobler’s interviews examine the fragile distinctions between sense of self and sense of national identity. For the opening celebration, Dobler will present her Storytelling participatory performance, during which she invites visitors to relief print into masa (corn flour) while Dobler cooks tortillas.  Throughout the process, Dobler engages her audience in storytelling, sharing her family history and learning about the cultural backgrounds of participants while cooking together. The finished products will be served with guacamole and salsa.

Hillerbrand+Magsamen’s site-specific installation Devices for Extra Ordinary utilizes sculpture, video and photo to present invented objects that comment on their family structure and the modes of communication between the artists and their two children. H+M’s practice employs Fluxus ideas to incorporate humor, performance, and everyday objects in order to have a conversation about family dynamics, suburban life, and American consumer excess. Drawing on the literary concept of Homo Faber – that human beings are able to control their fate and environment through tools – H+M’s invented objects animate banal items in an attempt to survive and cope in a world of personal and political turmoil. In the lobby of 125 Maiden Lane, H+M’s Devices for Extra Ordinary presents several of these constructed devices as objects to interact with, displayed on modified ‘workbenches’ as tools for use. The accompanying photography and video displays act as incomplete user manuals, instructing the viewer on how to deploy these objects as a means towards communication, connection and transformation.

Priscilla Dobler is an interdisciplinary artist, born in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico and raised in the Pacific Northwest. By focusing on history, the critique of identity and the structures of power in domestic interiors her aim is to highlight and develop dialogues that address these issues while exploring the functional and conceptual relationship of craft and fine art traditions. She is interested in developing her own unique artistic interpretation of her cultural identity through weaving, woodworking, audio, video and performances. Her work has been exhibited at the Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle, WA; Decentered Gallery, Puebla, Mexico; Method Gallery, Seattle, WA; TAG Gallery, Los Angeles, LA; Feast Art Gallery, Tacoma, WA: Alma Mater, Tacoma, WA: ArtXchange Gallery, Seattle, WA; DAC Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Williamsburg Art and Historical Society, Brooklyn, NY; Columbia City Gallery, Seattle, WA; Marfa Contemporary Gallery, Marfa, TX; Currents New Media, Santa Fe, NM; Whatcom Museum, Bellingham, WA; Form & Concept, Santa Fe, NM; Gallery 110, Seattle, WA; Soil Gallery, Seattle, WA; Center on Contemporary Art, Seattle, WA; Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, Peekskill, NY, Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, New Paltz, NY, Ann Street Gallery, Newburgh, NY, Catalyst Gallery, Beacon, NY, Cumulus Nimbus Collective at Chashama Gallery, New York, NY; Issues Project Room, Brooklyn, NY and Collaborative Concepts, Saunders Farm, Garrison, NY.

Hillerbrand+Magsamen’s practice prioritizes and utilizes collaboration, process and media experimentation through videos, photography, installations and interdisciplinary performances. They explore their relationships to each other and society with an uncanny sensibility that merges the real and unreal, blurring boundaries between life and art and often includes their two children, Maddie and Emmett. Hillerbrand+Magsamen’s work has been presented at festivals including the London SciFi Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Fusebox Festival (Austin, TX) and Diffusion Photography Festival (Wales, UK). Exhibitions include the Grand Rapids Art Museum (Grand Rapids, MI), Everson Museum (Syracuse, NY), and Center for Photography Woodstock (Woodstock, NY). They have received grants from Sustainable Arts Foundation, Austin Film Society, and Experimental Television Center and participated in residency programs: Wassaic Projects (Wassaic, NY), Vermont Studio Center (Johnson, VT), I-Park (East Haddam, CT), Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (New York, NY), Experimental Television Center (Owego, NY), Elsewhere (Greensboro, NC), and Santa Fe Art Institute (Santa Fe, NM). They were awarded a residency at the Rauschenberg Residency in Captiva for 2020.
