Editor’s Letter
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. — The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution The First Amendment etched individual liberty into the opening lines of our nation’s narrative, forever protecting each citizen’s right to think what they want and say what they think, to gather together in the furtherance of their beliefs and worship at the altar of their own choosing. As America’s blueprint for personal freedom and the hallmark of an open society, the First Amendment is very much like the compass that guided Christopher Columbus on his voyage to the New World – it stands at the helm of our nation’s journey, an apparatus of invariable integrity directing America through the unsteady seas of change and transformation.

SYMPOSIUM
It would be regrettable – as an arts publication – not to acknowledge freedom of expression as being essential to both the creative process and the search for truth. There is much debate within our society concerning the extent to which certain liberties should apply. But in this – the month of America’s making – we at Symposium will choose to celebrate an uninhibited emancipation from the perils of repression. Our cover story – American Artists turn Pop art Prankster – interprets America through the eyes of four very different artists, all of them contributors to Americana culture: Edward Hopper, Norman Rockwell, Andy Warhol and Ron English. Also, in A Brief History of the American Palate, we discuss America’s cuisine with an exploration on how immigration has influenced the many regional styles that satisfy America’s taste buds. And, for our jetsetters, we have added three major U.S cities to our list of galleries, museums and theaters: New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago. As we celebrate the month of America’s creation, as well as anticipate her future, we also pause to contemplate what it means to be an American. And when I think of America, I think of something recently deceased comedian George Carlin once said: “When you’re born into the world, you’re given a ticket to the Freak Show. When you’re born in this country, you’re given a front row seat.”

REVIEW OF
LEISUREVILLE
By Mack Derouac
ADVENTURES IN AMERICA’S RETIREMENT UTOPIAS Andrew Blechman, a journalist whose writing has appeared in numerous publications including the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and Smithsonian Magazine, awakes one day surprised to see a “For Sale” sign across the street on the front lawn of his elderly New England neighbors, Dave and Betsy Anderson. Blechman later learns they have decided to move to “sunny Florida,” to a central Florida retirement community called The Villages. “We never intended to leave the neighborhood, Andrew,” explains Dave Anderson. “As you know, I’m not someone who makes rash decisions. But then we discovered The Villages. It’s not so much that we’re leaving here as we’re being drawn to another place. Our hearts are now in The Villages.”
A few months after their home is sold, Blechman receives an email from the Andersons, inviting him to come down for a visit. “I’d already started taking notes, awkwardly following the Andersons around and writing down everything they said, like an ethnologist recording an oral history. Their move fascinated me – and kept me up at night,” writes Blechman. “Something was afoot; I could feel it. I suspected the Andersons were in the vanguard of a significant cultural shift. I took Dave up on his offer.” On his visit Blechman discovers a retirement community with a different golf course for every day of the month and local radio deejays who endlessly declare, “It’s a beautiful day in The Villages!” He mingles in a crowded neighborhood bar where last call is at 9:45 pm. He goes to wine tastings, zips around town in a borrowed golf cart, and spends several nights careening the streets with renowned ladies’ man Mr. Midnight, a former teacher whose main problem is having enough Viagra around to keep up with his social life. The author immerses himself in the surreal world of the active elderly and discovers the pros and cons of a community largely disconnected from the outside world. “Don’t you miss the real world?” Blechman asks Mr. Midnight. “I don’t want the real world anymore,” he says. “Whatever happens now, you guys have to worry about it – it doesn’t affect me.” Age-segregated communities like The Villages and Sun City in Arizona have been around for years, but now there are retirement communities in almost every state in the nation. In Leisureville:
Adventures in America’s Retirement Utopias, Andrew Blechman sets out to discover why this trend is so successful and grows “increasingly disenchanted with those…who embraced the Villages’ age-restricted lifestyle.” Whereas in earlier generations it was common to live out your final years with younger members of your own family, many of today’s retirees either don’t have that option or prefer to live independently, with their peers, while keeping their children and grandchildren at arm’s length. These older Americans, many of whom aren’t even yet at retirement age, are in essence violating the social contract that got them through their younger years. This makes The Villages not just a place to age gracefully, but the spearhead of a movement that could make a major, lasting, and possibly detrimental, effect on our society as a whole. “It struck me as segregation, pure and simple, with children taking the place of previous ‘undesirables,’” writes Blechman. “Today’s retirees are among the best-educated people in the world. Never before have so many people had so much knowledge and so much time to impart it. They undoubtedly have wisdom to share with us. It’s no secret that strong ties between the generations lead to stronger communities and greater hope for the future…In a society that places less and less emphasis on cultural and institutional traditions, it’s worth remembering that seniors are our link with the past.” 05

Diversity, Diversity Everyone Wants Diversity Q: All we seem to hear nowadays is the need for diversity on the board. We do want diversity, but we haven’t done a very good job of it in the past. Any suggestions for doing this right?
A: Ah… the question of the decade. Obviously, there is no “right” – or “wrong” for that matter. However, there are some things that research has taught us that might help your board make better decisions for it. A number of years ago funders started requesting that boards reflect the diversity of the communities they were serving. They were clear. They wanted to see racial and ethnic representation on what were frequently all-white boards. The logic was simple. If – taking an extreme example – a nonprofit served an under-educated, minimally-skilled population of predominantly Mexican Americans in a barrio community and the board was made up of primarily white suburban professionals, clients and others could question whether the board could possibly have a clue about the real issues faced by the clients. This could call into doubt the board’s ability to make the best decisions on the clients’ behalf. The board was more likely, the reasoning went, to make more appropriate decisions for clients if there were Mexican Americans on the board. It soon became apparent, however, that attempts to diversify the boards through the process of merely bringing more non-whites onto boards weren’t working. Current (white) board members would ask people of color that they knew. These were typically people who went to school where they went to school, worked where they worked, lived in the communities they lived in and belonged to the same clubs they belonged to. Could, say, an ivy-league-educated Mexican American who grew up and is still living in an upscale community understand the needs of those in the barrio any better than his or her white colleagues? Perhaps the problem was that boards weren’t reaching out sufficiently to find people that were more like their organizations’ constituents. However, even if the organizations were successful at finding individuals that
could appreciate and articulate the clients’ needs, could the one, two, even three such board members effectively sway the others? Would the individual(s) feel at all comfortable speaking for a huge demographic? Would he/she/they find the experience rewarding enough to stay on the board? The answer to all these questions is, evidently not. According to the Nonprofit Governance Index 2007, published by BoardSource, despite the attempt to attract more diversity to nonprofit boards, racial and ethnic representation on these boards is basically what it was more than a decade ago, with 86% of board members nationwide being white. Equally discouraging was the finding in the Urban Institute’s study, Nonprofit Governance in the United States: Findings on Performance and Accountability from the First National Representative Study (2007), that minority participation had either no impact or negative impact on board activities such as raising funds, setting policy, monitoring programs, influencing the community, planning for the future and financial oversight. While I don’t want anyone to read this and say that racial and ethnic diversity is no longer a good goal – and, by the way, there are boards made up of primarily African Americans, Asians or Latinos that have also sought racial and ethnic diversity with equally mixed results – I think we must reconsider our thinking and our methodology if we wish our boards to be more in tune with our constituencies. Today, instead of diversity per se there is a push for culturally competent boards – boards that, according to the National Center for Cultural Competence: •
Have a defined set of values and principles, and demonstrate behaviors, attitudes, policies and structures that enable them to work effectively cross-culturally.
•
Have the capacity to (1) value diversity, (2) conduct self-assessment, (3) manage the dynamics of difference,
5 SYMPOSIUM | 11
(4) acquire and institutionalize cultural knowledge and (5) adapt to diversity and the cultural contexts of the communities they serve. •
Incorporate the above in all aspects of policy making, administration, practice, service delivery and involve systematically consumers, key stakeholders and communities.
Now, there are probably some people who are saying to themselves that diversity does not have to be just about race and ethnicity. This is true. Diversity is also about gender, age, values, work style, emotional intelligence, geography, skills and more. We know, for instance, from the BoardSource study that women make up only 43% of boards nationwide while men make up 57%. And yet, the Urban Institute study found that gender diversity is positively associated with most of the activities we rely on our boards
to perform. It seems we should definitely be focusing more on gender equity. But it’s not that easy to go this route, either. Baby boomers make up almost half of board membership nation-wide. Those under 30 make up only 2% (BoardSource). The results of the Urban Institute study, which found that age has minimal impact on the effectiveness of how boards carry out their activities, would imply that seeking people of different ages is a burden we don’t need to take on. Yet, it’s hard to argue that we should stop seeking younger board members. If organizations are to have a future, they certainly need to groom younger people to step up. There is still much we have yet to learn about the impact of diversity on our boards. Meanwhile, more than seeking specific “types” to fill board slots, we need to be better at determining our
needs and finding people with the skill sets and characteristics to meet those needs, who also have the ability look at issues from different perspectives, who are culturally competent and who are not afraid to challenge the status quo. After all, there is still truth to the adage, “If two people think the same way, one of them is unnecessary.” Terrie Temkin, Ph.D. is an internationallyrecognized governance and planning expert.

REVIEW OF
By Mack Derouac
FORGERY In the summer of 1963 Rupert Brigg – a recently divorced auction-house employee, still grappling with the death of his son – travels to Greece to collect pieces for his uncle’s art collection. As Rupert uncovers the works of art, he must struggle to hide the artifacts of his own past – an eccentric childhood that hides his true identity and the tragedy that ended his brief marriage. The more he searches for the art the more he learns about the rumors of fabrication, rebellion, and murder that lurk beneath the surface of this beautiful land.
Once immersed in Athens, Rupert Brigg is quick to discover there is much more to the city than its artifacts and antiquities; he comes to know an Athens of political deception, deceitful women and replicated masterpieces. He travels to a bohemian villa on the island of Aspros where he finds himself drawn into a circle of outlandish, hedonistic tourists. And it becomes even harder to determine who he can trust after a member of the party turns up murdered. Sabina Murray first came to the attention of the literary world when she won the PEN/Faulkner award in 2003 for The Caprices, her collection of stories about World War II. Now with her new novel, Forgery, Murray transports her readers to a mysterious world of art fabrication, political intrigue, and lost love in early 1960s Greece. Cold War paranoia throws fleet shadows across the surroundings of glorious ancient ruins and pragmatic modern concrete. But it’s ruthless ambition and terrible personal loss that lurk deeper in the shadows of this story. Despite the seductive narrative and compelling themes, however, Murray’s plot has a hollow core, mostly due to the participating characters. She invests in Rupert Brigg all sorts of secrets, but he continually proves himself a frivolous, trivial personality. The otherworldly setting created by Murray is populated by a supporting cast of secondary characters– a few native Greeks but mostly expatriated New Yorkers – many of whom prove themselves no more entertaining than Rupert Brigg. Most of them are introduced only halfway through the book
only to remain perpetually ill at ease within the established time-period. Beneath a gratuitous layer of time-specific references – debating communism instead of terrorism, drinking whisky instead of lattes and listening to records on a scratchy Victrola – are the voices of modern America. Murray is at her best when summoning atmosphere and place. Seductive, compelling, and sly, Forgery is a sophisticated book about the value and meaning of art, love, and the corrosive power of grief. With assurance and style, Murray delves into issues of identity and provenance. She plays with notions of deceit and rebellion on levels ranging from personal to political, creating for the reader a dreamy, timeless quality as a backdrop to universal thoughts about art and identity. “I will never be the sort of person to make a major contribution to mankind. That has never been my goal. I am not a creator, but a man of taste, and my story, like the story of civilization, begins with art,” says Rupert Brigg. “It all begins with art. Art is what gives man his soul. Man is man because he has an appreciation for what is useless…The need to transform the blank walls of a cave into a narrative tapestry. The need to fashion the female form from the earth. The need to approach the inanimate bulk of solid marble and find himself within it: idealized, beautiful, immortal. Without art, we have no hope of discovering our divinity, our oneness with God.” 05

He gravitated to Austin, Texas from West Virginia in the early 1980s, where he quickly acquired local notoriety on the music scene. With his homemade cassettes – titles like “Songs of Pain” and “Funeral Home” that featured simple cartoon sketches on the cover – Johnston showcased a strange mix of humor and artistic vision. And when MTV arrived on the scene in 1985, briefly appearing in Austin to film their show “The Cutting Edge,” Johnston managed to make an unexpected appearance by charming his way on-camera. The exposure managed to make Johnston famous outside the city. Before long musicians from all over the country were covering his songs, offering their help with recording contracts and asking Johnston to open for them on tour. But with the story of Daniel Johnston, every step towards stardom has been but a predecessor to yet another insanity-inspired stumble. Subsequent to his appearance on MTV, Johnston began a steady decline into the dark depths of manic depressive delusions, which caused bizarre and sometimes violent behavior. In recent years, however, his career has reached new heights. In addition to touring in the U.S., Canada, and most of Europe, there have been more than 150 recorded cover versions of Johnston songs and Johnston’s drawings have become increasingly popular in art galleries around the world. His work appeared in the 2006 biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The Clementine Gallery in New York has also opened an exhibition of Johnston’s pre1990 work, collections of notebook drawings that are selling for $2,200 a piece. Clementine Gallery curator Abbey Messitte attributes the popularity of his work primarily to its sense of spontaneity and intimacy. “Daniel’s work is immensely personal,” says Messitte. “That’s something that you see obviously in a lot of artwork, but this is really like the quintessential personal expression – soul bearing. This is what I think gives it its edge, in a way, the intensity of that personal vision.” Johnston’s drawings are embedded with incongruity – they are simple and at the same time complex, cheerful but also gloomy, vivid yet contextually ambiguous. His artwork often deals with themes similar to those expressed in his music. His personal struggles are on display, intermingling with the humorous and absurd. It is as if the serious and ludicrous converge on paper as a reflection of what is in his mind, absolutely brilliant chaos. “I’ve gone to church all my life, and there were always humorous things,” says Johnston. “Like the small books we used in our classes always had a sense of humor to them, the drawings and the illustrations. I would always make it like a cartoon, like Jesus with someone he was healing. I would put a balloon with something like ‘Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.”

Americana

Turn
By Blair Maynard
All that it is to be an American can be found in the STUFF of Americana – from baseball, jazz and apple pie to comic books, the diner, wagon trains and the music of George Gershwin. The 20th century, in particular, was a time of great change for America, from which grew Americana artworks of transformation and revival with visual elements intermittently related to both the marginal and mainstream aspects of American culture.
Pop ART PRANKSTER
20 | SYMPOSIUM 5
On a sunny afternoon in April 1999 Ron English and a number of other artists traversed a rooftop adjacent to New York City’s 14th Street. They carried with them a bucket, a paint roller, wheat flour, water and a large poster. Within 20 minutes they had painted over a billboard’s Nissan ad, replacing it with their own satirical take on Apple’s then-popular “Think Different” ad campaign. But the Apple ads contained black-and-white photos of inspirational icons like Albert Einstein and Miles Davis. In this case, the ad’s familiar typeface and logo were the same but the icon was a bug-eyed Charles Manson. It remained on the billboard for about two months. Early 20th century Americana artists like Edward Hopper and Norman Rockwell created works that documented the era and reflected on issues related to contemporary society. Only afterwards did these images become part of the Americana iconography. It was pop artists like Andy Warhol – inspired by America’s burgeoning mass media – who incorporated pre-established iconography into works of fine art. Now, as both a painter and prankster, neo-pop artist Ron English has taken Americana to a whole new place, incorporating America’s icons – be they Mickey Mouse, Marilyn Monroe or Ronald McDonald – into works of fine art for the purpose of commenting on contemporary issues, particularly modern society’s merchandising mindset. During the prewar period – between 1910 and 1920 – fundamental concepts concerning art in America were being seriously reconsidered as large influxes of people moved into urban settings where living conditions were dismal and harsh. The City became a starting ground for the skepticism of the realist movement, an ideology that aimed to promote truth and accuracy through art. Clinical, dispassionate, and critical of life, the realists depicted scenes containing the less glamorous aspects of the industrialized world. Visual artists projected, to a greater or lesser extent, an alienated vision of the era. In their work, anecdote disappears, and transient effects of mood and climate vanish. The impelling individual gesture of a brush stroke is replaced by a smooth, impersonal surface, which masks the artist’s emotional presence.

Edward Hopper illustrated the hollow beauty and sense of finely-honed detachment that characterized the time period through a wide range of settings – everything from Chinese restaurants to movie theaters, gas stations, tenements, offices, ocean views, and empty streets. But despite the variety of locations in which they appear, the people who populate Hopper’s paintings are always the same: emotionless and isolated. In Sunday (1926) a solitary man in shirt sleeves sits on the curb outside a vacant store, peering down at the cracked pavement. In Pennsylvania Coal Town (1947) a street-sweeper stands amid deserted sidewalks, staring into the desolate distance. In Hopper’s world, women, too, are nearly always cut off from human contact; they often seem to be just waiting. A woman stands at the foot of a stairway in the back of a theater, the fragments of a film seen playing on the screen, her expression one of forlorn concentration (New York Movie, 1939).

One key aspect of Hopper’s art is his depiction of light and its effects in creating shadows, unique because it lacks the subtlety of warmth. Hopper’s light is generally cold, clear, and stark; it is wedded to his angular forms, which are usually generated out of distinct masses of color in a way that creates an oddly compelling result. In Nighthawks (1942) the elements of confinement and isolation are portrayed through the diner’s harsh electric light, enhancing the mood and emotion of the painting. The customers sit together at the counter but are miles apart; they share the diner’s light as they share the bleak, cold shadows of their introverted solitude. The end of World War II brought thousands of young servicemen back to America to pick up their lives and start new families in new homes with new jobs. With energy never before experienced, American industry expanded to meet peacetime needs. Americans began buying goods not available during the war, which created corporate expansion and jobs. There was growth everywhere and the baby boom generation was underway.
Norman Rockwell’s prolific output (nearly 4000 images, including 800 magazine covers) chronicled the rapidly evolving social, cultural and technological changes of the time period, focusing primarily on individuals in everyday scenes. He told stories through his illustrations that reflected idealized views of American life and showed ordinary people doing ordinary things. Although he lived through more than eight subsequent decades of national change and revolution, Rockwell’s artistic style remained the same. “Without thinking too much about it in specific terms, I was showing the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed,” said Rockwell. “My fundamental purpose is to interpret the typical American. I am a story teller.” Rockwell’s decades of magazine covers confirm his own admission that he painted America the way he wanted it to be rather than as it was. In the case of Private Willie Gillis, for example, a fictional everyman who first appeared in 1941, Rockwell censored the trauma of World War

be the life of a child, a student, a soldier, or a workingman, whether in the Mamoroneck, New York of his youth, or anywhere else he lived after that. As a result, his characters were universal.
Critics denigrated the sentimentality of Rockwell’s depictions of everyday life, noting the absence of poverty and degradation in his paintings. In the five decades that Rockwell painted for the Saturday Evening Post, AfricanAmericans rarely appeared in his covers. But it was the Post’s and not Rockwell’s philosophy to exclude illustrations of American Indians and, except during World War II, limiting the roles of women to homemaker, teacher, secretary and nurse.
The visual elements in Rockwell’s illustrations are not photographic. But his paintings possess a depth, texture and complexity that were not apparent in the original magazine reproductions. Along with the artful detail, his cast of characters was loaded with nuances bestowed by the illustrator’s genius. The characters sparkled, glowed, and communicated directly with the audience. And the message they sent was always the one Rockwell intended the audience to receive. In a century of rapid social change, economic disparity, war, and technological advances, Rockwell’s pictures gave Americans a sense of connection to the reassuring constants of their heritage. The cumulative effect of his decades of work is an appreciation of the emotionally rewarding details of life that are often overlooked.
Later in his career, the subtle but insidious effects of prejudice were as much a part of Rockwell’s paintings as his poignant compositions of children at play, families at holiday time, adolescent rites of passage, and the simple pleasures of courtship. Very much in touch with his surroundings, Rockwell lived many of the situations that eventually became the subjects of his pictures. He painted what he knew to

situations that partook of minor melodrama, superficial sentiment, and humor, sometimes touched with the gentlest irony – scholars and critics view the artworks of pop artist Andy Warhol as a complex, multifaceted interaction between popular entertainment and the public at-large. Unlike the many artists who strive to portray the beautiful, pop art challenges traditional interpretations on the meaning of art by intentionally choosing to depict the mundane. Pop artists like Warhol introduced the use of a commonplace and familiar subject matter, incorporating commercial symbols and pop culture imagery into the realm of fine art, and inevitably capturing much of what would ultimately distinguish the social fabric of the time. “Once you ‘got’ Pop, you could never see a sign the same way again,” said Warhol. “And
once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.” Along with the superabundance of consumer goods, Warhol turned his attention in the early 1960s to supermarket products. He borrowed banal mass-produced objects and exhibited them in the venue of an art gallery – as Marcel Duchamp had done already in the 1910s with his urinal and bottle-rack. “An artist is somebody who produces things that people don’t need to have,” said Warhol. “What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.” Using multiple formats, Warhol depicted a postwar American culture characterized by the context of mass entertainment. The widespread availability of cameras and tape recorders
5 SYMPOSIUM | 27
had managed to make everyone an artist, transforming artworks into the conceptually indistinct objects of a decentralized reality. This prompted Warhol to place less emphasis on the means of production and more emphasis on the means of reproduction. “Business art is the step that comes after Art,” he wrote in his book The Philosophy of Andy Warhol. “I started as a commercial artist, and I want to finish as a business artist. After I did the thing called ‘art’ or whatever it’s called, I went into business art. I wanted to be an Art Businessman or a Business Artist. Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art.”
The dreadfulness experienced by a wealthy, popular icon like Jackie Kennedy after the assassination of her husband was conceptually symmetrical to the horror exhibited by the accident scene in 129 Die in Jet-Plane Crash (1962). Mug shots of criminals and photographs of gangster funerals were a documentation of the time period in keeping with the race riots seen in Red Race Riot (1963). Taken from a press photograph, the image of an electric chair in Orange Disaster (1962-1963) – the mechanism for one man’s death documented for the eyes of all – speaks volumes about the interaction between man, media and public.
Warhol merged the public with the private, the glamorous with the mundane, celebrity with anonymity, and ravenous voyeurism with seeming indifference. He added a third category to the modernist dialogue on art and life: popular media. The universal connection between all three was illustrated by Warhol with pictures depicting the morbid qualities they each possessed.
Part profit and part reporter – but always set apart by detached ambivalence – Andy Warhol visually recorded America’s innocence as it was corrupted by commercial gluttony. And he managed to accurately predict the inescapable outcome. Well before the proliferation of media culture, he famously foresaw that everyone would have their 15 minutes of fame – virtually

foretelling the advent of American Idol and YouTube. By the 1980s, art movements had brought anything and everything into the realm of possibility. Art was stripped of convention, the aesthetic lines long ago drawn in the sand smudged, even obliterated. Cartoonists and graffitists – the “taggers and bombers” (those who wrote messages and those who used spray paint) who lived in the streets and tried, illegally, to communicate their message – were suddenly a part of the fine art scene. Artist Ron English is famous for his achievements in “culture jamming,” having participated in more than 900 assaults on billboard media, sometimes aided by like-minded organizations such as the Billboard Liberation Front. In 2002, he plastered the words “Jihad is Over! (If You Want It)” on the same Times Square billboard that John Lennon and Yoko Ono famously sponsored in 1969 as part of their peace campaign, only then it read “War is Over! If you Want it,” and theirs was signed “Happy Christmas from John & Yoko.” Then again, in 2003, on a billboard located in Jersey City, he lampooned an ad for the H2 Hummer with the words: “Jesus Drove an SUV. Mohammad Pumped His Gas.” “I thought of staging a play on the scaffold,” says English. “I just remember looking at a billboard and wondering how I could possibly use that much space. First I thought of it as a huge canvas. Only later did I pay attention to the advertisement subversion aspect of it. My early billboards were more like paintings. There were a lot of social commentary in them, but they weren’t specifically commenting on the advertising medium. That evolved gradually for me.”
Hijacking billboards is only one of the ways English confronts people with his art. He is also an exceedingly talented painter and photographer, continuing the pop art movement with the use of pop culture imagery. But, unlike traditional pop artists, English’s work aims to communicate the artist’s views on controversial topics. Among his favorite targets is the iconic figure of Ronald McDonald, portrayed by English as an obese proto-pedophile. English’s rendering of the McDonald’s franchise spokesman depicts a portly figure preying on his pre-teen audience, taking advantage of their naiveté to sell them everything from fake dairy shakes to re-processed chicken nuggets. In some cases, English combines icons, showcasing the beautiful figure of Marilyn Monroe with Mickey Mouse breasts – perhaps a comment on corporate advertising’s use of sexual imagery. “I don’t take a bland enough look at the surface of pop culture,” says English. “The pop guys only commented on it in the sense that it existed – there it is. But I’m passionately engaged in pop culture, I have opinions about it, I bring the subconscious into play with it. My work is more about social commentary. It just has the look of pop because I’m using pop iconography as a sort of visual vocabulary with which to comment on my life and times. And in this way I feel more akin to the social realists or even the surrealists. It’s like this: art is polite society, and there’s two things you don’t mention in polite society, politics and religion. My work is filled with both, and that may make it unpalatable to polite society, but at least it’s never boring.” 05

A Brief History of the American Palate By Olivia Garcia
“There is no American food. When we begin to list American foods, either we talk about regional things like lobster or shrimp Creole, or we talk about spaghetti and pizza and hot dogs...One could argue it’s what makes us great. The fact that we don’t have a cuisine is a measure of our democracy and of our ethnic heterogeneity.” -- Sidney Mintz, Anthropologist The two concepts essential to understanding American food are regionalism and diversity, with an emphasis on the latter. Long before Europeans set foot on American soil, the Native Americans nurtured themselves off the bounty of the land. They taught the settlers how to plant and cultivate the sacred trinity of Native American cuisine – corn, beans and squash. All three foods played a vital role in defining American cuisine. They retain their importance today across the continent – grits, cornbread and hoppin’ john in the South, tortillas and pinto beans in the Southwest, baked beans and succotash in the Northeast and pumpkin pie just about everywhere in America during Thanksgiving. Some of the strongest influences on American cuisine came from African slaves. American food is inconceivable without that influence. Strong examples of this influence are barbecue in its many variations, all kinds of fritters and a mess of greens. Africans brought with them important techniques including smoking meats, frying grains and a variety of beans into fritters, boiling leafy green vegetables, and making up hot, spicy sauces.

Imported by European migrants, bread has always been a staple for the American family. San Francisco Sour Dough bread is an American original and uses the Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis starter (some of which has been maintained for over 150 years.)

The origins of this true American sushi can be traced to sushi chef, Ichiro Mashita of L.A.’s Tokyo Kaikan in the 70s. The cucumber, avocado and crab meat inside-out roll with flying fish roe or sesame seeds has basically been credited for taking sushi from ethnic delicacy to supermarket staple from coast to coast.
GO HOT DO G The state dish of Texas, “true” Chili con Carne is a stew made from meat, chili peppers and spices only, no beans! Today, chili has evolved into an All-American dish and most recipes include beans of some sort. It has become a menu staple of every American diner, cafeteria and fast food joint.
AS CHILI TEX
The true Chicago-Style is a steamed all-beef hot dog served on a poppy seed bun with mustard, onion, sweet green relish, tomato slices, celery salt and a dill pickle spear — No ketchup! Other notable dogs include the Little Rock Arkansas - invented the cheese dog, Connecticut Split Dog - deep fried then grilled, or the Seattle Style hot Dog - served with cream cheese, onions, sauerkraut on a toasted bun.
Regional cuisines emerged as settlers modified their culinary traditions in accordance with local conditions. The simple, sturdy foods of the Northeast are examples; more than any other of the English origins in our country. Meats and vegetables imported from the homeland merged with local ingredients such as turkey, maple syrup, lobster, clams, cranberries and always corn to provide delicious specialties such as Indian pudding, Boston brown bread, clam chowder and Maine boiled lobster. Southern settlers, also of English stock, benefited from a kinder climate. A Southern dinner is hardly complete without numerous side dishes including breads, biscuits, salads and condiments. Of all Southern dishes, fried chicken achieved the most popularity outside the region. At home, Southerners continue to use a great deal of pork. Hams from Virginia are universally recognized to be our Nation’s finest. Bacon and salt pork appear as flavoring agents with greens and beans. Ham biscuits are a classic accompaniment to breakfast
and dinner and ham with red-eye gravy is a regional favorite. Just north of the Deep South, the geography of the Carolinas proved conducive to rice growing and produced several rice-based dishes. Specialties such as Hoppin’ John – cooked rice and blackeyed peas flavored with salt pork – and Charleston Red Rice are examples of local rice dishes. The Carolina version of barbecue uses a stiff dose of vinegar in its sauce which places its locals strongly at odds with the Texas and Kansas City locals who prefer a much sweeter sauce. I personally prefer the Carolina’s version, the famous favorite. Southern Louisiana – just a small portion of the state – has given rise to two major cuisines: Creole and Cajun. Outsiders easily confuse the two, and with good reason. Both reflect French influences and both styles frequently begin their dishes with a roux. Another similarity is the use of rice and the area’s abundant seafood. They are often highly spiced and borrow culinary concepts from one another.
But Creole cooking is considered “city food” growing out of the region’s earliest colonial history. The French first settled the area and fought with Spain for control long before the Louisiana Purchase. The French infused their cuisine with local ingredients and were strongly influenced by Spanish, African and Caribbean food. The result is a refined, scrumptious cuisine served in multiple courses. Cajun cuisine, on the other hand, is “country food.” The French of Nova Scotia were expelled by the British in 1755. And, after years of aimless wandering, they finally settled in Southern Louisiana where they learned to rely on available ingredients such as game, shrimp, and crawfish. Cajun food is often cooked with several ingredients in one pot, using few herbs but served with plenty of hot sauce. The subtleties of Cajun food come from patient, long simmering of carefully chosen ingredients. Specialties include crawfish etouffe, gumbos, and rice dishes like jambalayas.

New York pizza is thin, wide and “foldable”. The hand tossed dough owes its perfect texture to NYC’s tap water (some people believe). Chicago is deep-dished and cooked in a pan with lots of fillings. California pizza is all about non-traditional toppings like bbq sauce, peanuts, blue cheese and foie gras.

Gumbos are divided along those that use okra as a thickener and those that use filé powder. Common amongst both is a strong stock, the “holy trinity” (celery, bell peppers and onions) and meat and/or fish. Usually served on rice.
Virginia Ham AKA country ham originate from the Southern United States. They are salt and nitrate cured and may be smoked before being aged for a period ranging from a few months to a year. This technique allowed longterm storage prior to refrigeration. To cook, the ham must be soaked and scrubbed for hours to remove the protective salt and molds. Country ham is usually served with red-eye gravy, a reduction of pan drippings and coffee.

Barbecue comes in many forms: Memphis style is either wet or dry and favors ribs and pulled pork, Carolina’s style is mostly pulled and smoked, served with a vinegar based sauce, Kansas City BBQ is all about the thick sweet tomato and molasses sauce, and Texas is the home of beef ribs and briskets served with a side of spicy sauce.
Southwest cuisine is the “Granddaddy” of American regional cuisine. Prior to 1845 – when the Spanish began to relinquish control – the entire area was part of Mexico, which explains why the Southwest cuisine of today bears a strong resemblance to Mexican food. It still draws heavily on native influences, in particular corn, beans and chilies. The word “chili” is Aztec in origin; this is a cuisine with very deep roots.
By the beginning of World War II, a good number of Italian dishes had become as “American as apple pie.” The first dish to enter the American household was spaghetti with tomato sauce, followed shortly thereafter by additional kinds of pastas. Pizza took off after World War II in New York City, followed by Chicago’s deep-dish double-crusted style that has since spread nationwide and is referred to as ”Chicago Style.”
Corn tortillas remain the essential Southwestern “bread.” Pinto beans stewed or refried are the most popular source of protein. Tamales are a traditional “party” food on both sides of the border. Salsas made of tomatoes, tomatillos and chilies are used in a number of dishes. Pork and beef were introduced by the Spanish settlers and altered to suit local palates. New Mexico’s carne adovado consists of pork stewed in a sauce made up of dried red peppers. In Texas, beef is mixed with pinto beans to create chili con carne.
Meanwhile, housewives picked up helpful tips on how to cook lamb dishes and other popular favorites from local Italian butchers. And Italian farmers helped popularize such vegetables as artichokes and eggplant. Campbell’s canned version of minestrone and Oscar Meyer’s baloney had their origins as bologna in the Italian delis all over the country.
But perhaps no ethnic group has had as much influence on the American palate as the Italians.
Immigration continues to broaden the spectrum of American cuisine. While officials huff and puff over tightening the border with Mexico, citizens flock to Mexican eateries, inhaling tacos, quesadillas, chili verde, and chilies rellenos. Going
out for a burrito has become as much a part of the American experience as grabbing a quick burger. The combination of several regional styles has given rise to fusion cuisine. The idea behind fusion is to take ingredients from more than one cuisine, mix them together and create something new. Needless to say, some of the finest fusion can be found in our very own South Florida where the flavors come from the Caribbean, South America and Cajun country. American cuisine has come a long way since the early days of just plain corn and beans. Today, the United States has arguably the finest cuisine in the world. Though regional styles remain, the constant flux of immigrants will ensure that the American palate will always be introduced to new, interesting flavors. In the words of anthropologist Dr. Sidney Mintz, “The fact that we don’t have a cuisine is a measure of our democracy and of our ethnic heterogeneity ... One could argue it’s what makes us great.” 05

THE ART ENTREPRENEUR By Huey Delahauterive
OF THE
Perry Milou is a well-known painter and curator from Philadelphia. The Milou Gallery opened in the Wynwood Art District on the corner of 36th Street and Miami Avenue in May 2008. In addition to being a painter, Milou is a ringmaster of sales and promotion practicing the art of the entrepreneur. “I’m a businessman and an artist,” says Milou. Before moving to Miami, Milou had already achieved success as an artist and curator in Philadelphia. In 2005, his paintings of Marilyn Monroe were published in a coffee table book entitled The Art of Marilyn, he was commissioned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art to paint a portrait of Benjamin Franklin and he was selected to participate in the international Art Expo held at the Jacob Javitz center in New York City. Like other successful artists, Milou extends his creative skills beyond the realm of the canvas by taking advantage of any given opportunity to garner publicity. In 2007 a sexually themed art show held at Milou’s gallery became part of a scandal after his landlords started to threaten him with eviction. “We had some sexual education seminars along with the exhibit to try to market the event. The landlords were against what I was doing. Not necessarily with the art, but with the lectures that were going on alongside it. They said I was having a sexfair weekend,” says Milou. “No one was really showing up. My landlords tried to convict me, I contacted the news and that weekend there were 300 people. It was great.”
“I think that it takes a certain type of artist whose mind works that way,” says Milou. “I’m in a neighborhood here where there’s not a lot of foot traffic. There’s a tremendous amount of galleries but the traffic’s not coming because it’s just not a retail neighborhood. I landed and said, ‘I’ve got to create a project that’s going to be written about, that’s going to have some buzz in the media and bring attention to my gallery.” For next year’s Art Basel, Milou is working on The Pucker-Up Project, a series of three eightfoot-square paintings, each featuring 1,024 squares that combine to create a unique image. “It’s called The Pucker-Up Project because I’m going to approach a big cosmetic company like MAC or Maybelline and try to get them to underwrite giving me their product. What I’ll do is attach a charity to it have women pay a hundred dollars to kiss a square. It’ll be an interactive thing, something I promote for Art Basel.” Milou’s work predominantly falls under the category of pop art. In his “Playing Cards” series of 16 paintings, he features a pop icon with a
36 | SYMPOSIUM 5
corresponding insignia and theme words incorporated around the border. Elvis Presley is the king of spades, Bono is the two of clubs and Marilyn Monroe is the queen of diamonds. In addition to relating each figure to a matching symbol and quote, Milou uses distinctive techniques to illustrate characteristics related to the icon. James Dean is seen amid Milou’s trademark rain effect, communicating a bleakness associated with the actor’s tumultuous characters.
“My art peters between commercial and fine art, as do the artists I represent,” says Milou. In addition to Milou, Thomas Dellapenna, Denise Fike, Frank Hyder and Brett Sauce are artists featured in the gallery. “Sauce’s is more towards commercialism. Fike’s is more towards fine art. Everybody wants to put labels on all the art. It doesn’t really matter to me. I’m an artist and a salesman. I’m painting and I’m selling. You can call it what you want.” 05

A EULOGY FOR
AMERICAN
COUNTERCULTURE Walk into a Starbucks – or any other chain that claims to endorse the new-found American ideology – and you might find yourself thinking that America’s counterculture has lost its way. You take a look at the new mass of counterculture refugees and ask yourself what happened. They wear Abercrombie & Fitch clothing that was pre-torn in a Beijing factory by some kid making five cents an hour, and their hair is multi-colored in a custom design by Manic Panic.
It seems that America’s counterculture has found itself abandoned in a sea of corporate oblivion. It has turned itself into one large conglomerate of pre-conceived notions and ideals. And the philosophy, fashion and music of the formerly subversive have been bleached into a blandness that’s safe for the whole family. Is America’s counterculture one-in-the-same with America’s mainstream culture? Yes. Have the thoughts and ideologies of the rebellious youths been co-opted by a corporate America that says, “It’s cool to be different as long as everyone’s buying the same stuff?” Well, yeah that’s true too. First, let’s note the two major forces in American society: the mainstream and the counterculture that opposes it. The counterculture is something different from mere subculture. Subcultures abound in large numbers, possessing beliefs prescribed to specific demographics. The counterculture is generational, encompassing all the demographics that comprise a specific age group. Typically a rejection of the mainstream social order emphasized by previous generations, counterculture ideals and characteristics are typically defined by the influence they have over America’s macrolevel social order – from music to fashion to art to intellectual thought. Now let’s take it back to the roots of postmodern America – the 1950s – when the underlying qualities of America’s counterculture movements first emerged. During this time, it was the Beat Generation who represented America’s counterculture movement. They were a group of American writers who celebrated non-conformity, spontaneous creativity and emphasized the visceral engagement of open emotion – a controversial set of ideals at the time. But most of the Beats were true academics – college kids from Columbia University. They saw themselves on the fringes of society, because they were. Some were homosexual,
some were drug-addicted, and some simply opposed the status quo. But their standing as a counterculture movement was about more than their affinity for sex, drugs and the dangerous unknown. They were true artists, dedicated to establishing something new through creativity. They were willing to experience the gritty world of the downtrodden for the sake of its artistic merit. And that’s how they found themselves involved with characters like William Burroughs (author of Junky and Naked Lunch) Neil Cassady (who later inspired the character of Dean Moriarty in Jack Kerouac’s On the Road) and Gregory Corso (who joined the group by impressing Allen Ginsberg with poetry he had written while imprisoned on a burglary charge). Next was the revolutionary Hippie movement. Yes, drugs and free sex were still embraced much like the beats, but so were transcendentalism, and the peace movement. Extreme antiestablishment rebellion also presented itself in a multitude of aesthetically pleasing ways. It would be hard to counter the point that the hippie movement didn’t affect every part of society. Like Bob Dylan prophetically wrote, “Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command, The youth were coming together to change things, to shake up the old ways. The hippies thought they had it; they were creating a new world, a wave of energy that consumed and frightened the mainstream. With their psychedelic music and persona, their efforts to expand their perspective and embody a more open society. The hippies in America’s sixties were making a difference and had the ability and support to envision greater things than the mainstream culture could grasp. No longer is there a definable group that strives to break new ground in culture. The counterculture has been absorbed by the mainstream and melted together into a colorless group. Everybody it seems wants to have ideals akin to the beats and hippies, the fashion of the “punks” merged with the
individuality embodied by the “Goths.” But still no one wants to come up with a new found idea, a new found musical or artistic color to add to the palette. Americans seem to want to have their thoughts spoon fed to them, yet still grasp for a countering of the already beaten paths. The problem is that rather than coming up with original nonlinear ideals all that can be done is to mix what we already have. Our new found philosophy seems to be, “We can be everything at once, and we are better off that way.” As stated by Dr. James T. Clark, a wellnoted sociologist, “The countercultural revolution has just seemed to have gone bankrupt. We live in a world where there are just as many things to rebel against as there were in the sixties, but we just don’t. With the advent of new technology there is a lack of independent culture and society is turning more and more into one large super organism. It is my belief and the belief of my colleagues across the nation that hegemony of the conservative mainstream has wiped out America’s chances for positive rebellion of ideals in a subtle yet deliberate manner ” Dr. Clark’s words ring out a call for alert in the minds and souls of many. As history has shown, it has always been the unpopular thinkers who have moved us past our preconditioned necessity of conformity. Without a strong counterculture, America may find itself adrift in an island of mass conventionality. One sure sign is our musical taste which has already faced the devastation of pop songs invading the previous indie label audiences. Only time will tell if America can reclaim a sense of rebellion and once again let individuality flourish. Perhaps we can once again break through the boundaries of the melting pot and like crazy alchemists happen upon originality. Until then, listen to the Grateful Dead with a copy of On the Road in your hands, but don’t be alarmed when the book starts burning. 05

KAREN LYNNE GALLERY --LOS ANGELES
Karen Lynne Gallery was chosen as the first American delegation to represent the United States in the prestigious Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts (SNBA) exhibit at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. This was a unique honor because the United States has never been represented in the 100-plus years the SNBA has been in existence.

1520 Polk St. Hollywood, Fl. 33020 954-923-5590 Our mission is to collect, preserve and disseminate information about the history of Hollywood, Florida. To preserve Hollywood’s historical resources and landmarks. To educate and encourage public awareness of Hollywood’s heritage. To pass on an enduring community to succeeding generations. In 1920, the developer Joseph W.Young, Jr. purchased the first square mile to begin the Florida city he would call Hollywood-by-the-Sea. His city was planned from the start with wide boulevards, parks, vistas, and harmonious architecture derived from styles then popular in southern California where he had lived, from bungalows to mission, Moorish, and Spanish-eclectic, styles still evident in buildings throughout Hollywood. hollywoodhistoricalsociety.org
