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.”

LOUVRE

Louvre Breaks Ground on Islamic Art Gallery The Louvre Museum is readying to open its Arts of Islam Gallery, the first major modern architectural addition to the museum since its famed glass pyramid was build in the 1980s. On Wednesday, July 16th, in a ceremony attended by President Nicolas Sarkozy and the project’s major donor, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, the first stone of the gallery was laid. Due to open in 2010 at a cost of $135 million, the wing will display three continents of Islamic art masterpieces from the seventh to the 19th century.

in Disneyland Paris and owns the capital’s historic Georges V hotel. In 2005, he donated the initial $26.9 million toward the Louvre’s latest project, making him the single largest individual benefactor. Other major contributors include the oil company Total and the world’s largest cement maker, Lafarge. Both have interests in Saudi Arabia. The French government is supplying $31.8 million, while smaller amounts will come from Oman, Kuwait and Azebaijan.

The Louvre made a historic partnership with a country in the Muslim world when it announced its project for a Louvre Abu Dhabi museum in the United Arab Emirates last year. “With Abu Dhabi, French museums are exporting, and here today it is Islam that is coming to the heart of France,” Dish decorated with a young said French Culture Minister woman Christine Albanei.

Construction of the gallery will be led by French architect Rudy Ricciotti and Italian colleague Mario Bellini.

On July 22nd, a graffiti artist and onetime protégé of artist Keith Haring’s, Angel Ortiz, seriously altered the recreation of a Haring mural by filling in negative space with an intricate black interlocking pattern and spray-painting it with the repeated tag LA II. To celebrate what would have been his 50th birthday this past May, Haring’s mural – painted

by Haring and his companion, Juan Dubose, in the summer of 1982 near Houston Street and the Bowery in New York City’s Lower East Side – was recreated by admirers on the original 50-footlong free-standing slab of concrete. Meticulously prepared for repainting, the wall’s many layers of graffiti were scraped off to reveal traces of Haring’s work. This time the mural – commissioned by the Keith Haring Foundation; Goldman Properties; and Deitch Projects, the gallery representing Haring’s estate – cost close to $30,000 and took nearly 10 days just to paint.

In 1980 Haring was 22 and an up-and-coming artist painting in a schoolyard on the Lower East Side when he was first approached by Mr. Ortiz, then 13. Ortiz had heard that Haring was impressed by his graffiti and that he was looking for him. Ortiz never worked on the 1982 mural, although he had tagged the wall before Haring and Dubose made their mark. As a nod to his friend, Haring left Mr. Ortiz’s tag untouched, and this spring it was even replicated by the hired team of professional painters. After seeing the new mural, Ortiz, who has struggled with obscurity in recent years, decided that it was time to make himself known. 06

POMPEII

Italy Declares Pompeii to be in a State of Emergency

CONEY ISLAND DRUGS

ART EXHIBIT FEATURES DRUG TRADE LOGOS

Coney Island Art Show has Guantanamo Theme

Artist Allan D. Hasty has stumbled upon and researched a surreptitious misuse of some of America’s most beloved logos by an unlikely industry: the drug trade. Indeed, the same logos that appear in the media selling the products that are in our everyday lives also pepper the variouslysized drug baggies that litter American streets.

Cute animals, candy graphics and superheroes have all been co-opted to promote and sell drugs.

Concerns over public security and the site itself have led the Italian government to declare a yearlong state of emergency for the ancient city of Pompeii. Two thousand years after Mount Vesuvius buried Pompeii under volcanic ash, Italy’s mostvisited archaeological site faces destruction at the hands of vandals, tourists and government budget cuts. Large pieces of the frescoes portraying life in ancient Rome are lost, stolen by visitors or battered by nature. And despite the many signs expressly forbidding flash photography, tourists continue to take pictures.

According to Soprintendenza Archeo-logica di Pompei, the administrative office of Pompeii, the number of security guards has fallen 19 percent to 349 since 2001, and Pompeii must share these guards with four other Vesuvian sites: Boscoreale, Oplontis, Stabia and Ercolano. As a result, more than 1,500 square feet of frescoes and approximately 3,000 stones are lost each year.

For the past three years Pompeii has produced an annual income of about 33 million euros, 82 percent of which was generated by the 11euro entrance fee and the rest from the Culture Ministry. But all personnel costs are to be paid out of the ministry’s budget, and with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi planning to shave $13 billion from Italy’s budget next year, the Ministry of Culture is expecting major cuts.

Former head policeman for Naples Renato Profili has been charged with preventing any further deterioration of the site, much of which could prove too expensive to repair. At a news conference held in Pompeii on Friday, July 18th, Commissioner Profili said his first order of business will be to “chase away” the hordes of unlicensed vendors and guides that meet visitors at the site’s entrance. After that he will “concentrate on a gradual reopening of restored houses.” 06

What would Calvin say?

Interestingly, Hasty’s paintings neither condemn nor condone the appropriations. Presented large scale, they become a celebration of the marks themselves and an examination of the degradation they endure in their crude printing processes.

Collecting and categorizing these tiny plastic baggies has been a focus of his for some years now, originally appearing as marred, distressed photographs. But recently, the artist has chosen to present the works with no manipulation, he simply paints them “as is” and in doing so they become emblematic of rotting corporate ideals, consumer complicity and, at a much lower, more demonic level, an attempt by drug dealers to brand and market their super-strong-but-won’tmake-you-paranoid Thai stick, their Grade-A Columbian, numb-your-gums Cocaine or the mind blowing, you’ll-only-need-to-take-oneof-these-and-you-won’t-have-a-black-TuesdayLouis-Vuitton ecstasy tab. 06

Artist Steve Powers has opened the “Waterboard Thrill Ride” in New York City’s Coney Island, just off Surf Avenue, in the shadow of the Cyclone and a mere corndog’s throw from Nathan’s.

Powers’ storefront display uses the controversial interrogation technique as its theme. Among other things, it pictures SpongeBob SquarePants saying “It don’t Gitmo better!” as Squidward pours water over him. A window with bars offers a look at a Guantanamo-like interrogation, with a robotic figure wearing a hood leaning over a man in an orange jumpsuit, his face covered with a towel and his body tethered to a tilted plane.

Lights come on and water pours into the man’s nose and mouth, producing convulsions for 15 seconds.

The political display sits in the midst of New York’s decaying entertainment mecca, filled with beloved historic rides and the perennial object of development battles. Powers says his aim is to provoke people into thinking about the interrogation technique. “Robot waterboarding became a way of exploring the issue without doing any harm,” he told The New York Times.

“It’s putting a unique experience on the table.

And it doesn’t take a great leap of the imagination to look in there and say: ‘That’s really what’s going on? That’s crazy.’”

On August 15, Powers says he and a few other men plan to subject themselves to the real thing.

They will have themselves waterboarded by a professional in interrogation techniques. The sideshow will then be moved to Manhattan’s Park Avenue Armory, to be displayed with other projects from Democracy in America, an exhibit series sponsored by the public art fund Creative Time. 06

SAN FRANCISCO

New Law Criminalizes Those Who Harm Animals When Making Art

San Francisco city commissioner Christine Garcia, who wrote the bill, told The Art Newspaper, “If you allow forums that find this type of work acceptable, more people will produce it and can gain fame from the suffering of animals.” The bill, which is still in the process of being drafted, must go before the city legislature before it can become law.

The proposal comes in response to a recent video installation by Algerian-French artist Adel Abdessemed at the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) showing the killing of six farm animals.

The Art Institute was forced to close the show in late March after only one week when Abdessemed, curator Hou Hanru and staff members received a series of death threats from animal rights extremists (The Art Newspaper, May 2008, p.3).

The SFAI says that Abdessemed was documenting traditional methods of food production in Mexico and that no gratuitous violence took place to make the videos.

In mid-March, the California-based animal rights group In Defense of Animals, which has testified before the city commission, sent an “action alert” email to 30,000 of its subscribers asking that members demand the immediate closure of Abdessemed’s exhibition.

At the time Okwui Enwezor, dean of academic affairs at SFAI, said the exhibition’s sponsors, including the Andy Warhol Foundation and the Peter Norton Family Foundation, had sent letters in support of the show. The same exhibition attracted no protests when it was seen in Grenoble, France, earlier this year but was cancelled by curators in Glasgow in April. 06

A committee in San Francisco’s city government has introduced a bill that would allow misdemeanor or felony criminal charges to be brought against any artist or financial backer who causes “the death, abuse or suffering of an animal” when making a work of art.

Smithsonian

New Natural History Exhibition Reveals the Impact of Soil on All Life on Earth From July 18, 2008 to January 3, 2010, The Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History will feature Dig It: The Secrets of Soil. Visitors will think about this hidden world in a whole new way when they discover amazing connections between soils and life.

The 5,000-square-foot exhibition reveals the complex world of soil and how this hidden ecosystem supports nearly every form of life on Earth. The exhibition is sponsored by the Soil Science Society of America and the Nutrients for Life Foundation, which is underwritten by The Fertilizer Institute.

Dig It! includes interactive displays, hands-on models, videos and soil samples. Curious visitors will get the dirt on this little-known subject through audiovisual and interactive components, from a set of interactive soil stratigraphy blocks to a crime scene investigation video focusing on the processes of decay to a computer kiosk where visitors can learn about state soil.

Visitors can also explore soil found in their own backyard and in obscure locations, with 54 soil samples representing each U.S. state and territory and the District of Columbia, as well as soil maps and touchable soil models from around the world.

In doing so, visitors will discover a world teaming with life. In fact, so many organisms contribute to the health of soil that scientists have not even named them all.

Dig It! shows how every type of soil is unique.

Visitors can observe the way water moves through different soils in tumbler tubes containing sand, silt, clay and loam. The flow of water through soil can affect minerals and gases and all life that depends on soil.

Soil color tells fascinating stories about mineral compositions and soil formation or history. Dig It! color cards help visitors to unveil the stories behind soil samples.

Visitors also can get in touch with their inner detective and learn about the soil food web in the “Matters of Life and Death Theater.”

“The exhibition paints a remarkable picture of soils and their role as a reservoir of live,” said Ford West, President of The Fertilizer Institute and Nutrients for Life Foundation. “Preserving the health of soils around the globe is critical to our ability to produce nutritious foods for future generations.”

Following its showing at the National Museum of Natural History, Dig It! will travel to 10 museums across the country through 2013 under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. For more information about the traveling exhibition, visit www.sites.si.edu/ soils. Additional information about Dig It! The Secrets of Soil is available at http://forces.si.edu/ soils. 06

LONDON

Conservationists Protest Modernist Development at the British Museum

NEW YORK

Frida Kahlo Photography Exhibit Comes to New York City A collection of photographs portraying legendary Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, entitled Frida Kahlo and the Mexican Renaissance, has toured American and European museums for the past five years. Now it has reached its final exhibition space, the Throckmorton Fine Art gallery in New York City, where the collection will be available for purchase until September 14th.

Conservationist groups in London are angry over the British Museum’s plan to construct an exhibition center in its northwest corner of the museum.

The British Museum, the most popular cultural institution in London, attracted more than six million people last year. It claims that more space is necessary to accommodate increasingly popular exhibitions like the recent Michelangelo exhibit, which had more than 160,000 visitors. The $258 million proposal for the rear of the building will add 183,000 square feet.

Heritage groups, such as the Bloomsbury Conservation Area Advisory Committee, the Georgian Group and members of the Camden Civic Society, fear the expansion could damage the building’s nineteenth-century period details, including the King Edward VII galleries, the marble staircase that leads to the back of the building and the well-known Arched Room, as well as some of the views from the building itself.

The Bloomsbury Conservation Society wrote to the museum: “While we accept that the museum needs more space, and agree that the northwest corner is a suitable location for development, unfortunately…the solution as it currently stands is a missed opportunity that blights the existing buildings.”

The museum expects to open the new center by 2011, pending the approval of the Camden Council. But a development application has not yet been presented for their consideration. “We are still in the process of detailed consultation with a wide range of national and local organizations,” Graham Stirk, project director for the architect, told The Times of London. Although Stirk claims the proposals “have evolved considerably” in response to conservationist concerns, heritage groups believe their criticisms have gone unnoticed.

A spokeswoman for the British Museum told The Times: “The northwest development will not impact on the galleries. A modern design doesn’t detract from the historic vista.” 06

Established norms were cast aside in the era of the Mexican Renaissance, giving way to a time of openness, social engagement, and experimentation.

This artistic fervor stimulated photography, which was employed for many different kinds of projects: to capture and comment on the social transformation underway, for portraiture, to document the work of artists, and to explore alternative forms of perception. And, as talented and socially prominent artists, Frida Kahlo and her husband Diego Rivera were frequently the subjects of photographers the couple knew.

Frida Kahlo and the Mexican Renaissance offers a number of striking portraits of the artist, and brackets these portraits with other works from this exciting and fertile period in Mexico. The exhibit includes photographs by Paul Strand, Edward Weston, Tina Modotti, Hugo Brehme, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Lola Alvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, Emmy Lou Packard, and photographs from her own collection. These include an unsigned wrinkled picture of Kahlo,

her husband Diego Rivera and a monkey, which Kahlo reportedly carried in her purse. Spencer Throckmorton attri­butes it to Manuel Alvarez Bravo and is selling it for $25,000. Lola Alvarez Bravo’s 1954 post-mortem deathbed portrait of Kahlo in Indian dress is priced at $7,500. A 1932 photograph of Kahlo taken in New York City by Carl Van Vechten when Kahlo and Rivera were there for Rivera’s Rockefeller Center mural commission is priced at $8,500. 06

UKRAINE

$100 Million Caravaggio Stolen from Ukrainian Museum A painting by the master artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, The Taking of Christ (or, The Kiss of Judas) was reported stolen from the Odessa Museum of Western and Eastern Art in the Ukraine. Thieves were able to sidestep the outdated alarm system, and escape through the museum’s roof. Originally purchased by a Russian ambassador, the painting had come into the museum’s hands last century.

The thieves evidently entered through a window by removing a pane of glass, in lieu of the traditional smashing, thereby avoiding the alarm.

The frame of the window itself was rotting and in ill-repair, making the pane quite easy to remove.

Upon entering the room with the painting, the thieves proceeded to cut the painting from its canvas, rolled it and escaped through the roof.

The robbery took place sometime between the

museum’s close Tuesday evening and Thursday morning (the museum is closed on Wednesdays).

Although the London auction houses neglected to estimate a price for the legendary piece, experts estimate it to be worth more than $100 million.

REVIEW OF

UP HIGH

By Mack Derouac

IN THE TREES Writing in a child’s voice is one of the most difficult endeavors for any author to attempt, especially for a debut novel. The first challenge is making the words believable to the reader; the second, sustaining the voice and allowing it to grow and change. A child’s voice leaves absolutely no margin for error – one false note and the reader is lost.

The young voice that still lives in every one of us conjures up fears and distortions when forced to the surface. The author has an obligation to carefully sculpt away his or her own self from the character and fashion someone universal, someone to whom all readers can relate.

In the case of Kiara Brinkman’s first novel, Up High in the Trees, that someone is Sebastian, a 9year-old boy. The actual text of Up High in the Trees never says quite so much about its narrator, though Sebastian’s position on the spectrum of “normality” is sometimes a point of issue among his family and friends. All who know young Sebastian Lane understand that he is an unusual child in many respects – he experiences the world around him more vividly than most. But despite some instances of “inappropriate affect,” Sebastian relates well enough to both adults and children his own age, and he can even make new friends when he goes to a different place. The narrator’s unnamed condition appears to intensify in strange ways only after the death of his mother. Pregnant with a daughter, she has just been hit by a car and killed. Sebastian misses her so acutely that he begins to dream and even relive moments of her life.

Halfway through this novel, however, one begins to realize that the subject is not so much Sebastian’s experiences with whatever mental aberration he may suffer, but the way grief finds a route through the whole Lane family. Sebastian’s older brother and sister, Leo and Cass, are able to move on with their lives. He and his father, on the other hand, become disoriented, unglued. Both take to hiding under beds and in closets for long periods of time; the boy jumps off a pier into freezing water in what looks like a suicide attempt. All in all, the parent proves to be more mentally fragile than the children in this novel, to the point that Sebastian’s

older siblings begin to play the parental role as their distraught father gradually abdicates it.

In the aftermath of the biting incident, Sebastian and his father travel to a family summer house on the coast, presumably so that Sebastian can come to grips with his mother’s death. But it’s Sebastian’s father who begins to exhibit classic autistic behavior – rocking, curling up under his bed with a stray cat the two of them have adopted, injuring his hand by striking the table – to the point that he has to be hospitalized. Sebastian passes his time at the beach house writing utterly implausible letters to his schoolteacher, Ms. Lambert. And it’s here that Brinkman makes her only beginner’s mistake, allowing Sebastian to compose these missives with all the fluency she has herself. Curiously, the notes he used to leave for his mother before her death do not have this problem but instead are, touchingly, the sort of thing a child like Sebastian might actually write.

Published to stellar critical acclaim in hardcover, Kiara Brinkman’s exquisite debut novel about a family in turmoil, as told in the deeply affecting voice of one extraordinary boy, is now in paperback.

In spare and fierce prose buoyed by the life force of its small, fearless narrator, Up High in the Trees introduces an astonishingly fresh and powerful literary voice. 06

Terrie on Nonprofits

Can Donors Expect Privacy?

by Terrie Temkin, Ph.D.

Q: We are hearing a lot about organizations issuing privacy statements. For instance, some non-profits have a disclaimer on all correspondence stating that donor contact information will not be shared or sold. Working with an animal welfare group, where many similar groups profit from sharing names, we’re curious what your opinion is on this topic.

A: Your question raises two competing realities in today’s world. The sale, rental or exchange of names is big business. Yet, more and more, people are wearying of their loss of control over their personal information.

They are demanding that those with whom they do businesses, including charities, treat such information with respect and protect it from unauthorized use.

Historically, selling, renting or trading one’s mailing list had little downside for nonprofits.

The only legal restriction – set by Federal law in 1999 – was that any such transaction results in no partisan or political benefit. There was the clearly measurable increase to the bottom line resulting from sales or rental revenue or increased contributions.1 Those donors who made minimal contributions to an organization actually had increased value as a marketable commodity. And, studies showed that people rarely reduced contributions to the charities on their original list in order to respond to appeals from new organizations.

Instead, they found new money with which to respond.2 As recently as 2004, the online watchdog Charity Navigator surveyed close to 3500

charities. Only 18 percent had privacy policies to protect their donors, 7 percent stated that they currently sold, rented or traded mailing lists or reserved the right to do so, and 75 percent did not reply to the survey. Charity Navigator’s executive director, Trent Stamp, drew the conclusion that at least a majority of the non-respondents probably engage in the practice of sharing names and preferred not making that fact publicly known.

Today, many people are clearly voicing displeasure at having their personal information made available to others without their consent. In response, Charity Navigator and the Better Business Bureau now let prospective donors know whether charities have a written privacy policy and whether it is prominently displayed. Groups like the Wise Giving Alliance recommend that donors use a unique spelling of their name with donations to different charities in order to be able to identify which charities are betraying their trust.

Since you asked my opinion about this issue, I will weigh in with my feeling that privacy statements are all about transparency and good stewardship. They provide a means by

6 SYMPOSIUM | 15

which you assure your donors that you value them, and by which you build trust. Both of these elements are essential to retaining donors long-term. If you make the decision to share names – or think there is a possibility that you will choose to do so in the future – be upfront about it and make it easy for donors to opt out.

What should your organization’s privacy policy include? The Better Business Bureau suggests providing the answers to the following questions: What information is collected about each donor? How it is used – e.g., Does the organization ever physically do mailings for another organization as a means of renting its names without losing control over those names?

How can the donor review the information the organization has on file and make any necessary or desired changes? How can the donor opt out of having his or her name shared? And, what

security measures has the organization adopted to protect its donors’ personal information?

REVIEW OF

By Mack Derouac

ASIAN GODFATHERS MONEY AND POWER IN HONG KONG AND SOUTHEAST ASIA They are rich, tight-fisted bullies with a penchant for gambling, a lust for multiple mistresses, and plenty of powerful political connections.

Meet the Asian Godfathers, as author Joe Studwell dubs many of the region’s billionaires. In his intriguing and myth-shattering study of the region’s powerbrokers (Asian Godfathers) Joe Studwell argues that this group of grandees has stunted economic growth. With a handful of men controlling vast enterprises, regional economies have not mastered the “technological capabilities, branded corporations, and productivity gains that drive sustainable economic development.” Studwell’s Asian Godfathers challenges the mythos surrounding Stanley Ho, Li Ka-shing and a group of about 50 others.

It’s China and India that are fascinating now – not the once-fabled Southeast Asian Tiger economies. But, in the mid-1990s, Asia’s economic ascendancy awed and terrified Western executives. Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the deep-water port cities of Hong Kong and Singapore were glorified as epicenters of Asian vitality, guided by an enlightened tribe of ethnic-Chinese empire builders. And Southeast Asian business monarchs like Li Ka-shing and Stanley Ho were suddenly among the richest men on the planet.

Stanley Ho chased the scent of fast money to the island and smuggling epicenter of Macau.

He salted away enough to open a small kerosene factory, which flourished when American bombers knocked out Macau’s gasoline terminal late in the war. These early ventures, and later a long-term lock (since lost) on gambling concessions in Macau, were the taproots of his vast fortune. To this day Hong Kongers still call the reclusive tycoon Li Ka-shing (one of the richest men in Asia with a personal fortune estimated at $23 billion) chiu yan (Superman) for his business smarts. However, Studwell tells the unvarnished Li story, asserting that much of his fabled business acumen is exaggerated, given the cosseted sectors of the former British colony’s economy that he grabbed on near-exclusive terms and still controls. Media consumers have been force-fed repeated helpings of stories about these individuals, described as economic clairvoyants and captains of wealth creation. Studwell demonstrates that they are in fact creating little if any wealth in their areas of operation – that they are rather parasites, having gained monopoly access to limited

resources through bribery in various forms and pocketing use fees.

Crony capitalism contributed mightily to the Asian financial crisis that slammed these economies a decade ago. And Studwell, founder of the China Economic Quarterly and a longtime observer of Asia, thinks these economic distortions linger on. He dismantles the hagiography that surrounds these powerful men and demolishes such notions as “Asian values” and the “bamboo network.” These cultural clichés have been used to suggest that Chinese-expat business leaders alone figured out that long-term planning, a killer work ethic, and networking skills are smart tactics – and imply that all are beyond the understanding of Western minds.

Asian Godfathers is generally illuminating, but it’s poorly organized. Portraits of key characters are scattered across chapters instead of in distinct narratives. One would have liked more analysis of the periodic, bloody reprisals directed at Chinese business interests in Indonesia and Malaysia, and whether a further backlash is possible given the moguls’ status as outsiders imposing economic power. Still, this book is richly reported, and the larger thematic points come through clearly enough. Asia’s canny powerbrokers are remarkable individuals, all worthy of study. Unfortunately their influence, if left unchecked, might well leave Asia’s Tigers lagging in the decades ahead. The cover is sappy, but don’t let that deter you. Studwell’s book is well worth your time if you seek to better understand Southeast Asia. 06

JENN PORRECA Jenn Porreca’s artwork combines the

old-fashioned

with

the

modern to form a delicate world of intricately layered folklore.

The

Japanese-inspired

look

of her paintings features the exaggerated

physical

features

of modern manga offset by the use of serene, soft tones and antiquated subjects. The result is a combination of the old with the new that transcends nationalities and cultures.

6 SYMPOSIUM | 19

Born in 1977 in a small village outside of London, Porreca’s childhood was distinctly nomadic, having lived in exotic locations like Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia. At the age of 21, she moved to San Francisco with nothing but a backpack and passport. Ten years later, she continues to live and work in San Francisco, the city that nurtured her creative vision into fruition. Her work, however, is seen throughout the world.

“Having a background growing up in various parts of the world like England, Saudi Arabia, Pennsylvania, and lastly San Francisco, I believe I’ve been somewhat setup to create artwork that transcends boundaries,” says Porreca. “I’ve studied art from all different parts of the world: Russian zhostovo flower paintings, ukiyo-e and edo, manga, European silhouette arts, and the street art of San Francisco. It’s all worked its way into the fibers of my being, and so it and the things I discover daily weave themselves into my work.”

In October, Porreca will showcase three of her paintings (Puppetry, The Capture, and Tighter) in the Youngblood exhibit at the Opera Gallery in New York, an exhibition begun two years ago featuring new contemporary artists. “These three pieces represent a time of great spiritual evolution in my life,” says Porreca. “They have deep symbolism as it relates to divinity.”

Both Puppetry and Tighter typify a Porreca painting. Inspired by the subject matter of the ukiyo-e design (a genre of Japanese woodblock prints and paintings produced between the 17th and 20th centuries), Porreca’s work often portrays activities from the ancient Japanese entertainment districts.

In Puppetry and Tighter the viewer sees what appears to be a young woman dressed in the traditional garments of a Japanese geisha.

[Indefinite Questions] Courtesy of Jenn Porreca

In a subtle indication of distress, there are aspects of these women that are disheveled. Contrary to having the geisha’s well disciplined, orderly appearance, for example, their traditional shimada hairstyle is unkempt, with loose hair strands falling to their shoulders. Their hands are tied, or – as is the case with Puppetry – their entire body is wrapped in ropes. The woman’s hands are free in Puppetry, and in them she holds a fully-bloomed flower. In Tighter, the woman’s hands are bound together and there is no flower but one appears to be growing from behind her, not yet fully bloomed but budding.

Porreca often says her work is meant to convey a story: “I’m thinking of stories told one hundred years ago, and those that will be told one hundred years from now.” The

20 | SYMPOSIUM 6

symbolic imagery present inside Porreca’s paintings – the unkempt hair, the ropes, the flowers, the music notes drifting beside the geisha’s head in Puppetry, the placid, emotionless expressions – all of it suggests a mysterious, sinister story about innocence corrupted. But, according to Porreca, the story one sees in her paintings is of their own making.

“In terms of people’s responses to my work…well, it’s wide and varied,” says Porreca. “I believe people will see elements of things that speak to them or don’t. As humans, we live life and learn based on our environment, and so when you introduce artwork from a different place in the world to people with a certain culture, the combination can be extraordinary, and the response quite different for what you had originally intended. I believe this is where true art happens.” 06

The 798 Art District is the center for contemporary art in Beijing, an oasis of galleries, cafes and bookstores in one of the world’s last remaining communist nations. In August, the 2008 Summer Olympic Games will advance the ongoing global dialogue about a “new” China. Seeking to make a statement about its progressive qualities, the Chinese government plans to highlight its socio-cultural achievements. Dozens of world leaders are expected to visit the famed 798 Art District.

Will they find that creative expression has advanced, or will they uncover the telltale signs of political repression?

The art inside the 798 District covers the entire Chinese scene, from photography to installations to painting and sculpture. Located in the Dashanzi sector of Beijing’s Chaoyang district, the 798 Art District (also known as the Dashanzi Art District) was built by East Germans in the 1950s to produce equipment for the People’s Liberation Army. Abstaining from the tiresome Soviet style then common in China, the Germans designed the district’s buildings in the Bauhaus or International Style of architecture. Marked by the absence of ornamentation – a unique harmony between the function of an object and its design – the Bauhaus style inevitably produced buildings characterized by installation art in-and-ofitself, an abundance of natural light and distinctively arched ceilings, some of which continue to have Maoera slogans still visible.

Beginning in the mid-1990s, artists and cultural organizations began renovating and restoring the abandoned factories, developing them into galleries and art centers. Today the complex maintains its original ambiance with industrial-strength heating pipes snaking between buildings and steam belching from enormous valves. And the area is still referred to as the 798 Art District or Factory 798 in honor of the official code number of the munitions plant that occupied the site for half a century. Prominent among the district’s many galleries: the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, the Paris-Beijing Photo Gallery, the Beijing-Tokyo Art Projects, 798 Space and the Red Gate Gallery.

6 SYMPOSIUM | 25

From July to September, these galleries will feature exhibitions to coincide with the Olympic Games.

Hosting the Olympics is a chance for China’s leaders to showcase the country’s rapid modernization to the rest of the world, and the 798 Art District will be a window into China’s efforts to embrace free expression. “During the Games, heads of 50 to 60 countries will visit the district, where a series of art exhibitions will be staged,” says Wu Xijun, deputy director with the government-run 798 Art District Office. “More than 10,000 visitors are expected every day during the Games, almost tripling the present number.”

Featuring 60 Chinese artists – including six new commissions, two performances and four recent acquisitions – the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) exhibition, Our Future: The Guy and Myriam Ullens Foundation Collection, will present no less than 92 works by such artists as Chen Zhen, Gu Wenda, Huang Yong Ping, Wang Du, Wang Guangyi, and Zhang Xiaogang, as well as showcase new commissions from Amy Cheung, Cao Fei, Chu Yun, Qiu Zhijie, Shen Yuan and Wu Jicong. This will mark the first time that such a large segment of the collection is presented in China, the first in a series of exhibitions at UCCA that will explore

key themes and artworks in the Ullens Foundation collection.

Our Future will give a wide-angle view of the work and artistic practice of several generations of artists, as well as tell the story of Guy and Myriam Ullens’ longterm commitment to Chinese artists and their work.

Developed by Guy and Miriam Ullens over a period of 20 years, the collection seen in Our Future represents generations of artists of different developmental stages, providing creative insight into the artists’ shifting social, cultural and philosophical perspectives. The exhibition includes groundbreaking works that explores how these artists are developing critical responses to the coexistence of many diverse experiences in China, such as the small gestures that are significant in daily life or the mass media’s blurring of reality, fantasy, expectations and history, as well as the urban construction and destruction cycles.

“UCCA is a place to share the creativity and dynamism of China today in a global perspective. Our role is to create a platform for an open dialogue between China and the rest of the world,” says UCCA art director Jérôme Sans.

“From this point onwards, UCCA will be like a home – a living art space – inhabited by works curated specifically for the space and on display over a long term, greatly extending the traditional short term presence of the exhibition period.”

China’s artists and collectors are still strangers to the gallery system, and many still view the induction of Western culture into Chinese society with skepticism.

For institutions like the Paris-Beijing Photo Gallery, the

primary objective must initially reside in creating a bridge between the East and the West for the purpose of producing a free-flowing dialogue amongst photographers with different views and cultural experiences.

Founded in 2006 by Flore Sassigneux and Romain Degoul with the strong will to create the first space in China dedicated exclusively to modern and contemporary world photography, the Paris-Beijing Photo Gallery has ambitions to become an essential link between Paris, a capital of world photography, and Beijing, an emerging contributor to the international art world. Solo exhibitions, as well as thematic collaborative exhibitions, are displayed as a way for western and Chinese photographers to confront and exchange their unique points of view. From June 21st to August 13th, the Paris-Beijing Photo Gallery will feature the works of photographer Wen Fang in her latest exhibition, Foundations, an expansion on the installation series, The New Golden Brick, which she unveiled at Paris-Beijing one year ago.

Bricks are a fascination to Wen Fang, as well as an artistic focus.

In Beijing, the city of perpetual change, bricks are the ever-present foundations of support. Unlike the traditional Golden Bricks made

Ron English [Camo Tramp Boy], Courtesy of Ron English

30 | SYMPOSIUM 6

Ron English [The Last Breakfast], Courtesy of Ron English

in imperial architecture, which were meticulously selected for their imperishable quality and signed by the maker, the lives of modern bricks are ephemeral. They are infinitely reproduced and readily replaced for ones with a more youthful glow.

Wen Fang revives the Golden Brick of the past, providing a pioneering glance into these perennial traditions that continue to shape contemporary China. In “Terracotta Figures of Civilian Workers in the Republic of China,” for example, she raises questions about the present and future identity of China. The portrait of an individual Chinese civilian worker is on each of the 300 cement bricks that comprise the artwork. Each portrait is black and white, a worker in the trademark hardhat, many of them wearing the markings of an arduous existence, all of them smiling in an ironically serene expression of contentment.

“After I came back from France, my mother told me that there were two civilian workers who died from falling off of a building,” explains Wen Fang. “The workers continued on with a smile, being sent to work just

6 SYMPOSIUM | 31

Ron English [Clown Kids Playing Poker], Courtesy of Ron English

like bricks that are sent anywhere needed. In the Qin Dynasty, the artisans who created the terracotta warriors sacrificed their lives in order to consecrate their era. I printed these migrant workers – the modern city’s toiling soldiers – on bricks as a display for us in hopes of consecrating our great period in time.”

In the age of globalization, there exists a need for the transcendence of borders and universal communication, the coexistence and intersection of cultures through both the production and reception of contemporary art. Without underestimating national cultures and continuities, national museums and contemporary art galleries are obligated to reevaluate their strategies for bringing the local together with the global.

The Beijing-Tokyo Art Projects (BTAP) gallery, like the Paris-Beijing Photo Gallery, was established with the intention of bringing together artists of different cultures and introducing them to an international audience. Not long after the 798 Art District became the prominent hub for China’s thriving art market, Yukihito Tabata established the BTAP as an exhibition space for Chinese, Japanese and Korean artists to be seen together. During the Olympic Games, artist Yuan Shun is presenting his exhibition, Project “0”, with curator Feng Boyi at BTAP. Born in 1961 in Shanghai, Yuan Shun studied at the Art Army University in Beijing from 1979 to 1983. During the time spent as both a soldier and artist, along with several years spent in Poland, Germany and Turkey, his interest in philosophy and strategic thinking formed into an artist expression. Through large-scale installations, he gives the viewers space and time to complete the work with their own imagination and association.

For Project “0” Yuan Shun transforms the gallery space into a kind of stadium. On the floor is what appears to be a racetrack, along which visitors are encouraged to walk, with a sculptural stage-set consisting of wood, sand and photographs within the track. Visitors will see familiar settings like the Forbidden City and the Olympic stadium, known as the Bird’s Nest, which has become an architectural symbol of the Beijing games. In addition to the intricately constructed visual elements, Shun superimposes various sound and light effects into the installation. The exhibition intrinsically parallels a crowd-filled stadium of spectators engrossed in social and or political events – a not-too-subtle metaphor for the Olympic Games.

In the 798 Space, the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens – in collaboration with the General Secretariat for the

6 SYMPOSIUM | 33

Ron English [Clown Kids Smoking], Courtesy of Ron English

Olympic Utilization of the Ministry of Culture – is presenting the exhibition Transexperiences Greece 2008, organized in the framework of the Cultural Year of Greece in China. The 798 Space is the new rising, avant-garde location in the 798 Art District, hosting high-level cultural, artistic and commercial activities. Through the reconstruction and redesigning of the contemporary aesthetics, the space combines the past, present, and future of the “New China” and the unique meaning of the socialistic culture.

Transexperiences Greece 2008 – named after an inventive term created by the late Chinese artist Chen Zhen – summarizes the open character of today’s reality via the visual arts. The aim is the creation of a broad spectrum of “transexperiences” where visitors – through various anthrogeographies, myths, religious rituals and real sociopolitical events of local or global interest – will have the opportunity to envelop transnational narratives and travel to different cultural territories. Transexperiences presents to the Chinese and international public a wide range of genres and media, the works of 23 Greek artists, some internationally renowned and others just starting out.

The participating artists: Andreas Angelidakis, Stephen Antonakos, Alexandros Georgiou, Christina Dimitriadis, George Drivas, Lina Theodorou, Jannis Kounellis, George Lappas, Nikos Navridis, Bia Davou, Zafos Xagoraris, Nikos Charalambidis, Lucas Samaras, Christiana Soulou, Danae Stratou, Stefanos Tsivopoulos, Costas Tsoclis, Nina Papaconstantinou, George Hadjimichalis, Katerina Christidi, Tassos Christakis, Chryssa, Alexandros Psychoulis.

The Red Gate Gallery demonstrates China’s evolving society from the perspective of 22 artists. Through traditional Chinese painting, collage, lithographs and oil painting, Red Gate’s artists supply a social commentary on the political, economical and cultural transformations within contemporary Chinese society, particularly

34 | SYMPOSIUM 6

those issues considered to be the most relevant in a global society, such as gender, population growth, and the environment.

In 2005 a Red Gate Gallery exhibition featuring the works of artist Sheng Qi was shut down due to its politically subversive content. After the massacre at Tiananmen Square, Sheng Qi made plans to flee China for Europe, but only after he cut off his left pinkie finger and buried it in a flowerpot – this being his symbolic attempt at leaving a piece of himself in China. His photographic series, Memory, reduces images from the Cultural Revolution – taken from newspaper reports and old family photos – and shows them in a front of the artist’s mutilated hand. Somewhat disturbing, but undeniably powerful, the photographs subject viewers to an imagined pain projected by the hand, the goal being to relate that pain to atrocities committed during the Cultural Revolution. In a predictable display of the Chinese government’s propensity for censorship, Sheng Qi’s exhibition was quickly shutdown.

The Chinese government’s standard approach to dealing with potentially subversive art remains unpredictable, divided by opposing forces – the progressive nature of economic liberalization versus the oppressive qualities of traditional totalitarian communism. The recent boom in Chinese art originated in February 1989 when the National Art Museum in Beijing held the China Avant-

6 SYMPOSIUM | 35

Garde exhibition, which was soon shut down by the government. Four months later the Tiananmen Square uprising left hundreds dead. Now, nearly two decades later, China has the third largest auction market in the world after America and Great Britian, as well as a thriving community of galleries and artists.

“Up until 2004, there were only three strong commercial galleries in Beijing and many artists couldn’t get representation,” says Red Gate Gallery founder Brian Wallace. “Now there are about 20 top galleries and hundreds of others ranging from shop fronts to artists’ co-ops.”

The International Olympic Committee’s decision to award the 2008 Olympic Games to Beijing prompted tens of thousands of people to converge in Tiananmen Square. “Winning the host rights means winning the respect, trust, and favor of the international community,” proclaimed senior Beijing Olympic official Wang Wei. In the years since, nineteen new venues have been built, Beijing’s subway capacity has been doubled, a new airport terminal has been constructed and more than $40 billion has been spent. The government has even embarked on a series of efforts to transform individual behavior, launching etiquette campaigns and teaching English to service industry employees.

With the onset of the Olympics, tension has been mounting as political and censorship issues surface

36 | SYMPOSIUM 6

under the glare of international publicity. An exhibition of Andy Warhol paintings of athletes was threatened with postponement because some bureaucrats felt that Olympic subject matter should only be treated by Chinese artists. And an exhibition of paintings of the Dalai Llama and Chinese political figures by Ma Baozhong has been delayed. In response to perceived acts of impropriety on behalf of the Chinese government, Ai Weiwei, an outspoken critic of the use of culture for propaganda, as well as the designer of The Bird’s Nest (the National Stadium where the opening and closing ceremonies of Olympics are to be held), has decided to dissociate himself from the event and its ceremonies.

“What I criticize is the use of the Beijing Olympics by the Chinese government to push the view that the country is now somehow more open and democratic. In reality, it’s not,” says Weiwei. “Superficially, China allows contemporary art, and some cities even have international biennials. However, all those shows are carefully selected and monitored. There are many taboos you can’t openly talk about. Censorship is still there. You cannot touch the authority of the Communist Party. You cannot question the righteousness of its policies or the mistakes made by its leaders. You cannot dissent on Tibet or other sensitive issues…Otherwise, everything is fine.” 06

IMPERIAL CUISINE

People also call it the Capital City cuisine. This superior Chinese cuisine comes from Beijing, which was the capital city for the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Except for the Ming Dynasty, all the rulers of these dynasties were from northern nomadic tribes. For those 500 plus years, the dishes available from Beijing’s catering trade were dominated by meat dishes, which corresponded to the eating habits of the ruling class. The Mongolian rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were especially fond of mutton, and percent of the dishes in their palace were made of mutton. These mutton dishes still are made today, such as stewed mutton, boiled mutton, quick fried mutton tripe, and fried dumplings with minced mutton.

6 SYMPOSIUM | 39

The Qing Dynasty rulers ate pork before moving to Beijing from Shenyang in northeastern China. Their cooking methods were stewing, roasting, and boiling. Pork and mutton have been equally represented in Imperial cuisine since the Qing Dynasty as a result of the dietetic influence of the Manchus. Roast and stewed pig, pork dishes, and pig’s offal stewed in ceramic pots offered by the Shaguoju Restaurants (ceramic pots restaurants) were the first to be offered to suit the eating preferences of the Manchus.

Gradually these dishes were accepted by the residents of Beijing.

Imperial or Capital city cuisine is a combination of different areas and varieties, namely Hebei, Shangdong, Lower Yangzi River area, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang.

Features: Some methods of cooking are barbecuing, deep-boiling, roasting, smoking

Peking Roast Duck

and braising. Local products such as garlic, ginger, leeks, pork, spring onions, bean sauce, different spices, chilies, and vegetables, particularly the Northern white cabbage, together with duck, pork, chicken, seafood, beef, and lamb are used to make many varieties of gourmet dishes.

people migrated from there to Beijing to earn their living, and many worked in the catering trade. Shandong cuisine was similar to Imperial cuisine, so its dishes were quickly accepted The Shandong people almost had a monopoly on the Beijing catering trade during the Qing Dynasty.

Examples of dishes: Peking Duck, Mongolian Hot Pot with Lamb or Beef, Sautéed Mutton with Scallion, Muslim Skewered Mutton, Shandong Chicken with Abalone and Cabbage, to mention but a few.

People from Shandong opened many famous Beijing restaurants, including the Tongfengtang, Fushoutang, Huifengtang, Guangheju, and Tongheju. The quick-frying techniques of the Shandong cuisine and its use of onions greatly influenced Imperial cuisine. For example, quick-fried mutton, a popular, common dish, is a typical Imperial dish that uses the cooking skills and flavoring methods of the Shandong cuisine. Now, people in Beijing quickly fry onions in hot oil before stir-frying the dish because of the influence of the Shandong cuisine.

Beijing was the gathering place of the literati and officials, and many skilled chefs followed these people to Beijing. These chefs brought the different cuisines to the capital and greatly enriched the flavors of Imperial cuisine. The Shandong, Huai-Yang, and Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisines all strongly influenced Imperial cuisine. Because Shandong was near Beijing,

Jellyfish Salad

Beijing had many cultural and trade exchanges with other parts of the country. Many people came from Huai’an, Yangzhou, southern Jiangsu, and western Zhejiang for business or to seek official posts in Beijing. Literati and officials placed high expectations on restaurant food, and many even created dishes.

The chefs in Beijing all boasted of being able to create the dishes of the southern cuisines.

Some Beijing residents and businessmen from other areas wanted to eat the dishes of their native cuisines without leaving the city, which stimulated the development of the Huai’an -Yangzhou cuisine in Beijing.

When southern food was introduced in the north, its flavor was changed. For example, Huai’an Yangzhou cuisine has a sweet and less salty taste, while northern cuisine has salty, rich flavors. Before southern cuisines were accepted in Beijing, they had to adjust

Bird’s Nest (dried)

their flavors, and dishes had to be created that combined the southern and northern cuisines. For example, Mr. Pan’s Fish, a famous dish of quick fried fish and mutton, was introduced by Pan Zuyin (1830 - 1890), a member of the Qing Dynasty Imperial Academy. Wu’s Sliced Fish, invented by Wu Yansheng of Suzhou, was a Beijing (Imperial) dish that had the flavor of Jiangsu Zhejiang cuisine.

reflected the cooking skills and flavors of Imperial cuisine. Peking duck, which has become a favorite of people outside Beijing and even with foreigners, is prepared using force- fed ducks. The duck is roasted in a Huai’an and Yangzhou style to emphasize the color and taste, then seasoned with fermented flour sauce, and eaten with onions and pancakes baked Shandong style. This typical dish reflects the origin of Imperial cuisine.

Manchu and Han banquets, which gradually became popular during Emperor Qianlong’s reign, included nearly 200 cold dishes and dozens of refreshments and pastries. The main courses were Manchu style roast dishes, shark’s fin, edible bird’s nest, sea cucumbers, jellyfish, and abalone served southern style.

These were supplemented by traditional Manchu pastries, Huai’an Yangzhou or Jiangsu’ Zhejiang style dishes; precisely

Imperial cuisine is famous for its hundreds of dishes with special flavors that are unmatched by any other cuisine. Imperial cuisine does not emphasize experimentation or uniqueness, only delicious food made from common ingredients with tastes that are very agreeable. It is both China’s most celebrated and typical cuisine. 06

472 Broome St. New York, NY 10013 212-334-0407 The artists at CODA are an extraordinary group. They are young and old, men and women, some celebrated, others not yet famous. What these diverse artists share, in addition to a virtuoso mastery of their craft, is a commitment to art that is immediately, viscerally pleasurable. And of course, an abiding tie to CODA.

CADILLAC PALACE THEATRE > CHICAGO

The Palace Theatre opened at the corner of Randolph and LaSalle Streets in Chicago on October 4, 1926. The theatre’s interior featured a splendor previously unseen in Chicago - a breathtaking vision inspired by the palaces of Fontainebleau and Versailles. The theatre’s distinctive characteristics included a lobby richly appointed in huge, decorative mirrors and breche violet and white marble, which swept majestically through a succession of lobbies and foyers; great wall surfaces enhanced with gold leaf and wood decorations; and 2,500 plush, roomy seats.
