Introducing | NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program Recipients and Finalists

NYFA has awarded $661,000 to 98 New York State artists working in the categories of Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design, Choreography, Music/Sound, Photography, and Playwriting/Screenwriting.

New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) has announced the recipients and finalists of the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program, which it has administered for the past 33 years with leadership support from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). The organization has awarded a total of $661,000 to 98 artists (including three collaborations) whose ages range from 25-76 years throughout New York State in the following disciplines: Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design, Choreography, Music/Sound, Photography, and Playwriting/Screenwriting. Fifteen finalists, who do not receive a cash award but benefit from a range of other NYFA services, were also announced. A complete list of the Fellows and Finalists follows.

The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program makes unrestricted cash grants of $7,000 to artists working in 15 disciplines, awarding five per year on a triennial basis. The program is highly competitive, and this year’s recipients and finalists were selected by discipline-specific peer panels from an applicant pool of 2,542. Since it was launched in 1985, the program has awarded over $31 million to more than 5,000 artists. This year, thanks to the generous support of photography nonprofit Joy of Giving Something, NYFA was able to award an additional five Fellowships in Photography, which has the largest application pool of any Fellowship category.

“We are grateful to NYSCA for this annual opportunity to provide nearly 100 artists from New York State with unrestricted cash grants,” said Michael L. Royce, Executive Director, NYFA. “What’s most exciting is that the Fellowship impacts artists of all disciplines and career stages and that these artists are being recognized by a jury of their peers. Beyond the financial aspect, it empowers them to keep creating and exploring new possibilities in their work.”

New York State Council on the Arts Executive Director Mara Manus described how the program makes New York communities more vibrant: “The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship recognizes that artists of all disciplines, backgrounds, ages, and career stages make vital contributions to New York’s creative culture. Over the past 33 years, the Artist Fellowship has been a launching pad and a critical source of support for artists whose work helps build healthy communities in all regions of the state.”

On receiving a NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in Playwriting/Screenwriting, Brooklyn-based Nabil Viñas said: “It is a deeply moving honor to be recognized by NYSCA/NYFA. I took up screenwriting out of necessity, as it became clear that the voices and stories from my life would not appear in works by others. This fellowship tells me our stories matter, and that my voice is worth hearing.”

For Ben Altman, a Fellow in Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design from Danby, NY, the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship represents another facet of support from NYFA: “NYFA has informed my artistic practice throughout my 12 years in Upstate New York, providing professional development, fiscal sponsorship, grant application support, workshops, critique, and timely advice. To be awarded a NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship is as much a tribute to those inputs as it is an important and very welcome recognition of the work NYFA’s support has helped me to produce.”

To Veena Chandra, a Fellow in Music/Sound from Latham, NY, the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship empowers her to “continue to create, promote, and preserve” musical tradition. “I feel blessed to have been playing Indian sitar music for the last 63 years. I am so grateful to my father, who created an environment for me to learn this beautiful music and taught me from the very beginning of my life. To be recognized for my work in performing and preserving Indian Classical music means a lot to me, especially at this point in my career,” she noted.

Press Release:

Art participates in the world as a medium of transfiguration.

Paul Chan (2012)

Good Weather is pleased to announce Pei-Hsuan Wang’s exhibition, I’ve Left My Body to Occupy Others, opening on February 29, 2020. This leap day—an additional twenty-four hours occurring every four years, and a day geared towards realignment—yields an opportunity for a reassembly of the work (traveling from a solo presentation at Chinese American Arts Council (CAAC)’s Gallery 456 in Manhattan) and serves as a portal for the gallery (in early stages of a transition out of a primarily itinerant program over the past two years and into a new location in Arkansas and outpost in Chicago).

The disembodiment implied in the exhibition’s title underlies themes of transition and movement, precarity and precociousness, and the liminal space between the fantastical and real that guides Wang’s practice. The exhibition is both an homage to her niece, Iris (“a brilliantly imaginative child with Taiwanese and American roots”), and an artery to the core issues in her work: migration, imagination, and the self. As the artist states, she extracts “remarkable or paradoxical moments of everyday reality, reflecting on the ties and discrepancies between private experiences and the grand narrative, set in a world characterized by rapid transnational movement.”

In I’ve Left My Body to Occupy Others, these themes assume the form of cheetahs and parrots: creatures with stunning patterns and physique, attributes which lend to their survival in nature but that have “uncannily made them objects of desire and appropriation” and “stand-ins for kitsch, luxury, fetishism, authenticity, and alienated beings with no distinct origins.” In the case of the cheetah, the ceramic body is used as the model in the mold-making process to create its’ fiberglass shadow form—an action of replication and metamorphosis that mingles “reality with memory” and channels the “projection, borrowing, and assertion of identity and the self” on a personal level and cultural scale.

Entering the gallery, one encounters a ceramic head sitting on a large crate: a sculpture which combines the artist’s facial features with that of her niece Iris. This work, a doppelgänger which gets to the heart of transformation and emotional desire in the exhibition, is quietly unsettling and punctuates the spirit of becoming that holds power in the space.

Pei-Hsuan Wang 王佩瑄 (b. 1987 Hsinchu City, Taiwan) lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan. She received her MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2012 and her BA from Macalester College in 2010. She has exhibited work at Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Hong-Gah Museum (Taipei), and the National Gallery of Indonesia (Jakarta), among others. Recent residency programs include the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in Brooklyn, the Asia Culture Center (ACC) (Gwangju), and the Rijksakademie, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Solo and two-person exhibitions include You Are My Sunshine at Taipei Contemporary Art Center (TCAC), For Iris at

Chinese American Arts Council (CAAC)’s Gallery 456 (New York), Momentary Grace at Haiton Art (Taipei), where we meet with ektor garcia at Chicken Coop Contemporary (Portland) (organized by Good Weather), The Uncontainable Tales of a Paradise at Waley Art (Taipei), and Mobile Scapehood at FreesArt Space (Taipei). Wang was winner of the Special Jury Prize for Sanya Youth Award 2019 in China, a finalist for the Taipei Arts Award 2016, and has shown at the Taiwan International Video Art Biennale, Jakarta Contemporary Ceramics Biennale, and the 18th Asian Art Biennale in Bangladesh.

Treasures Of Vietnam: Vietnam Has Turn Out To Be Extremely Harmful For Chinese Individuals

If you discover your self in Nha Trang, head more than to the XQ Arts and Crafts Trade Center, and there will be much more than your eyes can consider in. I am not certain why you are in this kind of a tizzy more than the definition of nuoc lkeo. Ya it is been fairly more than at the other hub.

To discover out what is bitcoin, Just Click Right here. I usually attempt to discover stalls that are active and frequented by locals, usually make sure that meals is freshly cooked and scorching. And exactly where are these waiters from? Indian Sikhs wrap their heads in elaborate turbans whilst Russians warm their craniums with fur hats, which are of great use even at fifty Degree Celsius beneath zero.

For starters who want much more self-practice, you can attempt the western component front about Kite Surfing College Wind chimes, exactly where there are not numerous surfers, so that you can steer clear of undesirable accidents. Whilst lengthy and possibly harmful, there is absolutely nothing much more thrilling for thrill-seekers than to motorbike via the Hai Van mountain pass and catch the magnificent vistas of the surrounding cities, valleys, and ocean.

I also purchased two pieces of garments as Vietnam does not have garments for my dimension.

You will journey on the outstanding Hai Van Pass, bisecting the Truong Song mountain variety, which tasks into the sea. If vacationers make the work, vacationers will be rewarded. I also purchased two pieces of garments as Vietnam does not have garments for my dimension. thirty to 35 % of butcher retailers did not have licences. Maybe we wouldn’t have been so pleased ordinarily, but offered we’d invested nearly eight hrs of the initial leg sitting on leading of every other in our soft seats, this was absolute luxury in comparison.

Nevertheless, as soon as I went to Giang cafe with my sister, egg coffee completely beat my taste for the initial time. Nevertheless, be wary of autumn as cooler temperatures do usher in from September until December, and occasional typhoons deliver hefty rains. Invest the day exploring Vietnam’s third-biggest city and seeing sights this kind of as Ngu Hanh Son (Marble Mountain) with its many caves and beautiful views, the Son Tra Peninsula, and Thuan Phuoc Bridge, which is the longest suspension bridge in Vietnam.

Yeah, fairly a lot each train we took wound up costing much more than seat61 stated (inflation!) Our sleeper train in Vietnam was a hoot - we had been with two small previous nearby women who stored casting us dirty appears and whispering. 3 days right here ought to suffice, but you can effortlessly invest 5 or much more just to consider a break from the city lifestyle and calming by Simple Tiger’s swimming pool. Following calming on the seaside in Boracay, I stayed a couple of days in Manila and it was so a lot enjoyable.

But Vietnam's Council of Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce has issued a warning to Chinese companies that might be targeted in the subsequent couple of days. The retailers and companies open once more late in the afternoon. Consequently, clients just only appear at the poles, they can know whether or not the boat has issues they require or not.

You can unsubscribe to these at any time. I managed to stroll away from my time in Hoi An with three new dresses! You could not stand in the tunnels or even kneel up most of the time. So on leading of the roast pig, 200 shu mai, there had been 200 har gow, 60 char siu bao, and ten roast ducks ordered from Seaworld Seafood Restaurant in Rosemead. two Me Linh, Nha Trang.

My individual preferred location that I went to in Vietnam, you cannot miss trekking via the rice terraces, lush valleys, and limitless mountains of Sa Pa. Head down to the river for a boat tour into a cave that was utilized for shelter throughout the Vietnam/American war, or go on a tour to discover the muddy dark cave.

Then include two tblsp of fermented shrimp paste and one tblsp of chili sauce.

Ngan Gate: Right here you enter the citadel, when you came from the Phu Xuan bridge accross the Perfume River. She was then struck by a speeding woman on a motorbike. Then include two tblsp of fermented shrimp paste and one tblsp of chili sauce. All that drying and pickling and drying and pickling once more outcomes in a extremely thick, extremely concentrated, extremely salty, shrimp taste. Uncover all you want to comprehend about package deal deal itinerary, cost of tour and services provided.

I was horrified by the scenes of destruction and fascinated by the scenes of every day lifestyle when the reviews had been targeted on the nation in common. Fascinating individuals. Stunning nation. Do not pull out costly technologies on the side of street it is all as well simple for somebody to grab it and drive off.

André Leon Talley

André Leon Talley (born October 16, 1949) is the former American editor-at-large for Vogue magazine, listed as Contributing Editor in the April 2010 masthead. Talley has been a front-row regular at fashion shows in New York, Paris, London and Milan for more than 25 years. He uses his influence to promote young fashion designers and mentors young talent in other fields.

Early life

Talley was born October 16, 1949, in Washington, D.C., as the son of Alma Ruth Davis and William C. Talley, a taxi driver. His parents left him with his grandmother, Bennie Davis, who was a cleaning lady at Duke University, in Durham, North Carolina. Davis raised him and, he claims, gave him an "understanding of luxury." His grandfather was a sharecropper.

Talley grew up in the Jim Crow Era South, where the segregation was clear. He recalls “for a long time my grandmother would not allow white people to come into our house. That was her rule. The only white man who ever came into the house was the coroner." His love for fashion was cultivated at an early age by his grandmother, Bennie, and his discovery of Vogue magazine, which he first found in the local library.

Education

Talley was educated at Hillside High School, graduating in 1966, and North Carolina Central University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in French Literature in 1970. He was later granted a scholarship to Brown University, where he earned a Master of Arts degree in French Studies in 1973. At Brown, he wrote a thesis on Charles Baudelaire and initially planned to teach French.

Career

Beginning in 1974, he worked at Andy Warhol's Factory in New York City and at Warhol’s Interview magazine for $50 a week. That same year he volunteered for Diana Vreeland at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He went on to work at Women’s Wear Daily and W, from 1975 through 1980. He also worked for the New York Times and other publications before finally landing at Vogue, where he worked as the Fashion News Director from 1983 to 1987 and then as Creative Director from 1988 to 1995. He pushed top designers to have more African American models in their shows. He left Vogue and moved to Paris in 1995 to work for W, and served as contributing editor at Vogue. In 1998, he returned to Vogue as the editor-at-large until his departure in 2013 to pursue another editorial venture.

From 2013 to 2014, he served as international editor of Numéro Russia, joining the team shortly after the magazine launched in March 2013 but resigned after twelve issues. He has been a member of the Board of Trustees of the Savannah College of Art and Design since 1995.

Personal life

In the mid-2000s, an intervention was initiated by Anna Wintour to get Talley to lose weight. As seen on The Oprah Winfrey Show, he eventually lost a great deal of weight, and was eating more healthily.

In 2007, he was ranked 45th in Out magazine's "50 Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America". In 2008, Talley advised the future First Family on fashion, and introduced Michelle Obama to the Taiwanese Canadian designer Jason Wu, from whom she bought several dresses including her inaugural gown. His most famous pairings of late have been with designers Tracy Reese, Rachel Roy, and singer/actress Jennifer Hudson. He is known as a very close friend of pop diva Mariah Carey, fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons, and tennis star Venus Williams. As of March 2010, Talley was serving on the judging panel for America's Next Top Model (from Cycle 14 to Cycle 17).

In October 2011, the André Leon Talley Gallery opened in the SCAD Museum of Art.

The September Issue (2009)

"Say Somethin" (Mariah Carey's 2005 video)

Awards and Memberships

Talley has been recognized for his important work.

2003: Eugenia Sheppard Award for Fashion Journalism, Council of Fashion Designers of America

2008: Honorary Doctor of Humanities, Savannah College of Art and Design

Books

Talley wrote an autobiography entitled A.L.T.: A Memoir, published in 2003.

He also authored A.L.T. 365+, an art monograph designed by art director Sam Shahid, published in 2005. 365 features photos and captions from one year of his life.

Also co-wrote MegaStar with Richard Bernstein, a book with an introduction from Paloma Picasso, which has portraits of famous stars.

Event | “Urban Tribes: Urban Caravan” Exhibition

Multidisciplinary program highlights art produced by immigrant artists at several New York exhibition spaces.

Beginning June 8, 2019, The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) will host Urban Tribes: Urban Caravan in its Brooklyn gallery space. The multidisciplinary and multi-venue project, organized by the Taiwanese American Arts Council (TAAC), examines the transnational movement of people in the era of globalization and will showcase the perspectives of first, second, and earlier generations of immigrants from Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Russia, and South America. Kelly Tsai, a NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow in Nonfiction Literature and Joanne Y. Chen Taiwanese American Artist Fellowship recipient, and Ming-Jer Kuo, an Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program alumnus, are among the featured artists. According to TAAC, urban tribe members “never completely take on the living style of the larger population in which they reside, and it is the differences that are most interesting.” The Urban Caravan title draws inspiration from all those who choose to leave their hometowns looking for a better life on either a material level, spiritual level, or both.

Title: Urban Tribes: Urban Caravan Dates: Saturday, June 8 - Thursday, September 12, 2019 Opening Symposium: Saturday, June 8, 3:30 PM - 5:30 PM Opening Reception: Saturday, June 8, 6:00 PM Gallery Hours: Monday - Friday, 10:00 AM - 5:30 PM Location: The New York Foundation for the Arts, 20 Jay Street, Suite 740, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The curatorial team includes Luchia Meihua Lee, Executive Director, TAAC; Jennifer Pliego, Director of Special Programs and Head of the House of Art, El Taller Latino Americano; and John Enzo Parker, Light Year. A second phase of Urban Tribes is planned for Fall 2019. Visit www.taac-us.org for full details.

Introducing | NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program Recipients and Finalists

NYFA has awarded a total of $644,000 to 95 New York State artists.

The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) has announced the recipients and finalists of the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship program, which it has administered for the past 31 years with leadership support from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). The organization has awarded a total of $644,000 to 95 artists (including three collaborations) whose ages range from 25-84 years throughout New York State in the following disciplines: Crafts/Sculpture, Digital/Electronic Arts, Nonfiction Literature, Poetry, and Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts. Fifteen finalists, who do not receive a cash award, but benefit from a range of other NYFA services, were also announced. A complete list of the Fellows and Finalists follows.

“Being an artist is hard work, and a struggle for many; a recent report by New York City’s Department of Cultural Affairs found that 40% of the artists surveyed cannot afford art supplies and tools,” said Michael L. Royce, Executive Director, NYFA. “This sobering figure is one of the reasons why we are proud to support artists across New York State with unrestricted grants. For 31 years, artists of all disciplines have put the money towards anything that helps make their lives and practice easier, including buying the supplies and time they need to make their art and push their careers forward” he added.

New York State Council on the Arts Chair, Dr. Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, said: “The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship program supports New York State’s creative communities, and NYSCA is proud of our leadership role in this nearly 32-year collaboration with NYFA. Since 1985, NYSCA has provided $31 million in funding for this critical program. Each individual grant helps the recipient more freely engage in imaginative work, and expand the boundaries of creative media. It is gratifying to know that this program has made a real difference in the daily lives of thousands of artists, throughout New York State."

Richard Barlow of Oneonta, New York, was awarded a Fellowship in Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts. He expressed that “the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship is an incredible validation of my work as a visual artist. As a relative newcomer to New York State, it also feels like an acknowledgement that I have established a successful art practice and presence in my new home.” He added that the money will “offset many of the costs of maintaining an active artistic practice: travel, shipping, residencies, materials, promotion, fabrication, etc., and in doing so will alleviate financial pressures and open some mental breathing room to allow for more creative work.”

Neda Toloui-Semnani, a Fellow in Nonfiction Literature from Brooklyn, New York, shared the following about her fellowship: “The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship has given me, a nonfiction writer, the luxury of resource. It has given me both peace of mind and a great deal of joy because I get to see through the final reporting and writing of my first book without compromising. It’s an extraordinary gift.”
