7 SYMPOSIUM Editor’s Letter

New additions to the category of fine art signal a bold new beginning for the burgeoning world of contemporary creative expression. So, in this issue, we chose to highlight a few of the unconventional mediums that have found their way onto the fine art scene, specifically comic book illustration and glass art.

Our cover story, The World According to Crumb, examines illustration as a fine art medium. It’s a careerspanning look at comic artist R. Crumb, the hysterically misanthropic maniac and self-loathing father of underground comics who, over the course of his five-decade career, has gone from hero of the hippie underground to toast of the international art world. Recently, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia began exhibiting “R. Crumb’s Underground,� a selection of more than 100 works from all phases of his career.

Continuing with our theme of unconventional art forms, The Palley Pavilion Glass Menagerie investigates glass art, an ancient legacy that has taken an aggressive leap into the realm of fine art. The Myrna and Sheldon Palley Pavilion for Contemporary Glass and Studio Arts is the first major addition to the University of Miami Lowe Art Museum in 12 years. The stunning $3.5 million glass collection offers a comprehensive overview of the current techniques and esthetics in art glass.

SYMPOSIUM

With each issue of Symposium, we aim to provide something new for our readers. For this, our seventh edition, we have added film reviews, as well as expanded on other subsections of the magazine. Our list of galleries and museums has continued to grow, as has Art Headlines, a subsection of the magazine containing some of the most interesting and provocative art-related events of the past month. Don’t miss out on the latest book reviews, and, as always, Terrie Temkin has some stunning insights into the world of nonprofits.

Imagine the possibilities if everyone could communicate the goings-on of their inner world. This is what we find compelling. This is what resonates. This is what we hope to reveal to our readers.

Once again, it has been a pleasure to bring you Symposium. Thank you for joining us.

ART H E A D L I N E S President Bush

Scenes of Iraq War

YOUTUBE

Oscar Nominated Documentary to be Showcased on YouTube in its Entirety

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and VicePresident Cheney with President Bush

Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary and winner of the Documentary Special Jury Prize at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, No End in Sight is the first film of its kind to examine the American policies that characterized post-invasion Iraq. It will also be the first widely released feature film to screen in its entirety on YouTube.

No End in Sight condenses and clarifies the murky decisions made before and after the invasion and is invaluable to the public’s understanding of what went wrong. The film is both an analysis of the war and a statement about the impact of future military actions. Based on over 200 hours of footage, the film provides a candid retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003, as told by high ranking officials such as former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad during the Spring of 2003), Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell), and General Jay Garner (in charge of the occupation of Iraq through May 2003), as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers and prominent analysts.

Produced by Representational Pictures and released theatrically by Magnolia Pictures in 2007 and currently available on DVD, No End in Sight is a jaw-dropping, insider’s tale of the ignorance, incompetence and blind ambition that ensnared the U.S. in a war without a post-invasion plan. The film examines the manner in which the principal errors of U.S. policy – the use of insufficient troop levels, allowing the looting of Baghdad, the purging of professionals from the Iraqi government and the disbanding of the Iraqi military – largely created the insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq today.

Beginning on September 1st and continuing through the 2008 presidential election on Tuesday, November 4th, the film will be featured on its own YouTube channel and available to anyone with a computer and a high-speed internet connection.

Administration’s invasion and occupation of Iraq to voters concerned with the issues of national security and the adverse economic impact of the war when making crucial decisions in the election.

“I wanted to make the film, and the facts about the occupation of Iraq, accessible to a larger group of people,” says director Charles Ferguson. “My hope is that this will contribute to the process of making better foreign policy decisions moving forward in Iraq and elsewhere. During this election year, it’s important to examine the leadership mentality and policies that caused Iraq to descend into such a horrific state that after 4,000 American deaths, at least a quarter million Iraqis killed, 4 million refugees, and over $2 million spent, Iraq remains in a state of near collapse.” 07

CENTRAL PARK

The Museum of Arts and Design Opens to the Public

7 SYMPOSIUM

HANOVER

The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) opens its new building at 2 Columbus Circle, inaugurating its space with four major exhibitions: Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary; Elegant Armor: The Art of Jewelry; Permanently MAD: Revealing the Collection and Forward Thinking: Building the MAD Collection. The public opening is Saturday, September 27 and Sunday, September 28.

The Museum of Arts and Design is the country’s leading cultural institution dedicated to exploring the creative processes of contemporary artists and designers from around the world. With a distinguished permanent collection of over 2,000 objects, the Museum challenges the boundaries that have traditionally separated fine art, craft, decorative arts, and design. The move from its former home on 53rd Street to the redesigned facility at Columbus Circle allows the Museum to advance its institutional vision and expand its reach to engage visitors, students, families, and artists from New York City and abroad with an increased diversity of programming.

Absolut Launches First Phase of Anticipated Helmut Lang Collaboration

Located at the southwest corner of Central Park, where four subway lines and seven bus lines intersect, the Museum’s new home is well-positioned to serve over 500,000 visitors. Allied Works Architecture, led by Brad Cloepfil, was chosen from a group of four finalists in the competition for the project after museum leadership and a selection committee reviewed the work of each candidate relevant to the redevelopment of Columbus Circle.

Absolut is supporting Helmut Lang’s first institutional solo art exhibition, entitled Alles Gleich Shwer. The world’s most iconic spirits brand threw a VIP preview party at the renowned kestnergesellschaft in Hanover on August 29th.

The exhibition is scheduled to run until November 2nd.

Alles Gleich Shwer is curated by Frank-Thorsten Moll and Neville Wakefield and marks Helmut Lang’s move away from the physical body’s articulation through clothes. Throughout the institution, new works that explore and develop the social and physical membranes between interior and exterior identities and spaces will be exhibited, as well as “Scéance de Travail 1993—1999,” a retrospective installation originally conceived for Louise Bourgeois.

The primary design strategy of the new building is to open up the Museum to views and natural light as well as connections between gallery spaces. Linear cuts in the existing floor plates connect the galleries

Drawing on references as diverse as the folkloric rites of maypole ceremonies and the exploration of surrogate skin, Lang has created a series of installations, objects and possibilities that integrate an intimate knowledge of the human form with the personal mythologies and abstract arrangements of the world at large.

vertically. New vertical and horizontal openings in the existing exterior concrete wall provide views to the City and Central Park, as well as bring natural light into the gallery spaces. The design transforms 2 Columbus Circle into a dynamic cultural center that weaves together the museum experience and street life in one of Manhattan’s most significant public spaces. The new building opens itself to the city and capitalizes on its dynamic location, a gateway linking Midtown Manhattan, the Upper West Side, and Central Park. 07

This marks the first of two major phases of activity for the new collaboration, part of Absolut’s ongoing Visionaries program, called “In an Absolut World.”

The second phase will see the exhibition move to the virtual world. A radical new medium for viewing and experiencing art will be presented exclusively online from September 30th-December 31st when Absolut launches an online virtual experience of Helmut Lang’s exhibition. The artist’s vision will be accessible to all through Absolut.com/ HelmutLang.

To present Alles Gleich Shwer in a digital environment, Absolut and Helmut Lang will work as a creative partnership to develop a truly innovative interactive platform, in which the art can live beyond physical space and outside geographic restraints. 07

SCOTLAND & LONDON

National Galleries of Scotland AND National Gallery of London Join Forces to Secure the Future of Old Master Collection for the UK The National Galleries of Scotland (NGS) and the National Gallery in London (NGL) are working together with the Duke of Sutherland to secure the long-term future of the Bridgewater loan of Old Master paintings.

The Bridgewater Collection, currently on view at the NGS, is the most important private collection of Old Master paintings on loan to an institution in the UK and counts among the most important art collections anywhere in the world. The loan includes masterpieces by artists such as Raphael (3), Titian (4), Rembrandt (1) and Poussin (8). The pictures have been on continuous public view in the National Gallery of Scotland since the collection was placed there in 1945 by the then 5th Earl of Ellesmere, later 6th Duke of Sutherland. It forms the core of the National Gallery of Scotland’s world-famous displays of European art.

Over the years, the Bridgewater Collection has grown in value to the point where the Duke of Sutherland has decided that it would be prudent to review the holding in relation to the family’s overall assets, and he has therefore decided to offer a small number of selected pictures for sale to the nation, reflecting his strong preference that the entire collection should remain on public view in the UK. The Duke has offered the opportunity for the Galleries to acquire two masterpieces on extremely generous terms: Diana & Actaeon and Diana & Callisto, both by Titian.

Titian’s Diana & Actaeon (estimated to be worth approximately $275 million on the open market) is on offer to the major public galleries for a third of that price.

The NGS and NGL will be seeking funds to acquire this work which would then be available for display on a rotating basis in London and Edinburgh. Assuming the funds can be raised to enable this purchase to proceed, the two Galleries will also be granted an option to acquire the second picture, Diana & Callisto in four year’s time for a similar amount. If the effort to acquire these works is successful then the remainder of the Bridgewater Collection will remain on long-term loan at the NGS. The two Titians are arguably the finest works in the Bridgewater Collection. They were both painted as part of a cycle of works for Philip II of Spain and they represent a highpoint in Italian Renaissance art. This Diana and Actaeon by Titian. Courtesy of the National Galleries of is the first-ever collaboration of its kind Scotland and the National Gallery of London. between the London and Edinburgh National Galleries.

General, National Galleries of Scotland. “The present “The Bridgewater Loan, so generously made by the initiative is intended to secure the long-term future Duke of Sutherland, is the most important Old of the Loan for the public benefit. We are delighted Master paintings loan to any public museum in the to be working in close collaboration with the Duke world and is of supreme importance to Scotland and and our colleagues in London in order to achieve the rest of the UK,” says John Leighton, Director this.” 07

BOSTON

Since January 2008, Boston area sculptor Richard Dorff and painter Lorin Hesse have met weekly for a grand project of discourse through image and word.

Each, in turn, produced and presented a new piece weekly. And each, in turn, then responded graphically to the other. An intense iconographic, aesthetic, and verbal dialogue ensued, and it is this combination of languages, marks and remarks, which is the focus of the Images of Words: A Dialogue exhibit.

Lorin Hesse is a nationally award-winning artist based in the Boston, Massachusetts area. Her work focuses primarily on the underlying currents of sexuality and ideals for beauty in American culture. Though her current body of work is 2-D, she is a post-modernist with strong conceptual predilections. Her work includes installation, painting, and drawing.

Her social critique is seen with an unflinching eye focused on the taboo elements implicit in the way today’s collective American consciousness considers women and children as sexual objects. Her work often calls particular attention to the pornographic and seedy undertones hidden in purportedly familyfriendly entertainment and advertising. She has been testing the bounds of this theme since the 1980s.

“I obsess about the sexual content that lies under the contemporary American moral crust with an emphasis of thought on innocence, foolishness of the innocent, and male predation. Then, I make pictures to address those things that bother me most,” says Lorin Hesse.

“My current focus is on how our culture experiences women and their inherent or implied sexuality during the ages before and after sexual prime. My goal is to challenge personal mores about the acceptability of nakedness of the female human body in pictures when it does not fit into well established pornographic molds.”

Both artists’ sensibilities are exercised in the innovative installation of the exhibit, which merges both a 2D and 3-D approach. Traditional gallery values are questioned and viewers are invited to consider the words (whose graphic representations in black and white are applied directly to the walls) as they would have the works themselves. The works, meanwhile, will be shelved and out of immediate view in a specially designed storage area of the installation.

Images of Words: A Dialogue will be at the Atlantic Works Gallery in East Boston through September. 07

Bronx Museum of the Arts Explores the Street as Muse Aramaic Apocryphon of Daniel, Qumran Cave 4, end of the 1st century BCE, ink on parchment.

Israel Antiquities Authority, 4Q246-209

From September 21, 2008 to January 4, 2009, the Jewish Museum in New York City will host an exhibition showcasing six of the ancient and mysterious Dead Sea Scrolls. Two of these scrolls have never been exhibited, while three others have never been seen in New York.

In 1947, a significant discovery of ancient Jewish texts written on parchment was made in a cave in the Judean Desert, east of Jerusalem and near the Dead Sea. These first scrolls turned out to contain the oldest known copies of the Hebrew Bible, biblical commentaries, and the writings of a Jewish religious sect. When biblical scholars learned of these texts, they were electrified at the possibility that they could reveal new information about the development of early Judaism and of Christianity.

in the Dead Sea Scrolls reflect this transformative period.

The Jewish Museum’s exhibition will include six Dead Sea Scrolls. They represent the important transformation that occurred in Jewish worship from sacrifice to Bible study and prayer, the debates among Jewish groups of the Second Temple Period, and the indirect connections between the scrolls and early Christianity. The scrolls include a part of one of the earliest copies of the Hebrew Bible in existence, the Book of Jeremiah, which dates to 225-175 BCE and has never before been exhibited. Other texts that will be shown include an aprocryphal Jewish work, the Book of Tobit, which was rejected for the Hebrew canon but eventually accepted into the Christian Old Testament; an early example of a prayer from Words of the Luminaries; and Aramaic Apocryphon of Daniel, which mentions a son of God. Also shown will be excerpts from two sectarian compositions, the Community Rule, which lays out the regulations for joining and being a member of a sect, and the War Scroll, which describes a great war at the end of days.

Over time, some 900 separate scrolls were found in neighboring caves; they are collectively called the Dead Sea Scrolls. They date from the third century BCE through the first century CE. This was a momentous period in the history of the region, incorporating the Maccabean revolt, the reign of King Herod, the ministry of Jesus, 07 and the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. It was also a time of transformations and debates. Jewish religious ritual was slowly shifting away from the animal sacrifices and offerings made at the Temple, toward the innovative practice of study of a holy scripture - the Bible - and of prayer. Jewish groups disagreed over Temple ritual, authoritative scripture, and the strictness with which to observance divine commandments, leading to the emergence of different sects, such as the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Essenes, as well as eventually to new religions such as Christianity. The texts contained War Rule, Qumran Cave 4, second half of the 1st century BCE, ink on parchment. Israel Antiquities Authority, 4Q493-344

Vanguard artists have long looked to the street for inspiration, subject matter, and even the raw materials of their art making. From September 14, 2008 – January 25, 2009 the Bronx Museum of the Arts examines this fascination in Street Art, Street Life: From the 1950s to Now. The far ranging exhibition, one of the largest to consider the subject, has been organized by guest curator Lydia Yee, curator at the Barbican Art Gallery, London. Yee identifies the street as a pervasive and cohesive thread binding today’s vanguard artists and photographers to those of preceding generations. “One of my key aims is to situate compelling new art by a diverse group of younger artists in a rich historical context.

The exhibition presents many intersecting paths – documentary photography, performance, conceptualism, activism, and street culture,” says Yee, who conceived of the exhibiton while a senior curator at the Bronx Musuem of the Arts, where she organized several other exhibitions on urban topics including Urban Mythologies (1999) and One Planet under a Groove (2001).

Robert Frank, William Klein, Jacques de la Villegle, Yoko Ono, Vito Acconci, Martha Rosler, Sophie Calle, Nikki S. Lee and Francis Alÿs are among those represented by street photography, documentation of performances and ephemeral actions, videos, and art objects fashioned from found materials. New works by Xaviera Simmons and Fatimah Tuggar, co-commissioned by the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the Public Art Fund, will spill out onto the Bronx’s widely featured boulevard, the Grand Concourse, and with a special commission, Blank Noise Project from India will make its U.S. debut.

“Street Art, Street Life illustrates how from the ‘50s onward artists have used the street to critique the institution of art. But as the visitor will see, their different approaches suggest that ground – the street – was itself unstable and shifting,” says Frazer War, assistant professor, Department of Art, Smith College, and a contributor to the catalogue. He continues, “Perhaps that’s what explains the continuing lure of the street.” 07

7 SYMPOSIUM | 13

By Mack Derouac

RITUAL Shortly after lunch on a Tuesday in April, police diver Flea Marley uncovers the severed remains of a human hand – to which there is no body – nine feet under the surface of England’s Bristol Harbour. A day later the other hand is found. Both have been recently amputated, and there is every reason to believe the victim was still alive when they were removed. Detective Inspector Jack Caffery is teamed up with Marley and together they realize that the recovered hands belong to a young man who has recently disappeared. Their search for him – and for his abductor – leads into the darkest recesses of Bristol’s underworld, where drug addiction is rife, street kids sell themselves to feed their habits, and one of the world’s oldest and most disturbing rituals may be making an unexpected appearance.

Ritual is the most recent novel by Mo Hayder, an author who is always willing to depict the psychologically disturbing elements of the ostensibly grotesque. Her debut, Birdman, shocked readers with lurid depictions of a surgically trained serial killer who replaces the hearts of his victims with birds that were still alive when they were sewn into the victims’ chests; her second, The Treatment, delved into the mind of a pedophile with unflinching tenacity. As was the case with Hayder’s earlier works, Ritual is a mystery where the whodunit aspect is not nearly as important as the nature of the crime itself. In Birdman she shocked readers with necrophilia, in The Treatment it was pedophilia and in Ritual it is human sacrifice.

Authors of the modern mystery novel are forced to combine the old with the new, incorporating modern advances in technology into the proven dynamic. The science of detection may have changed but the mission is the same – to solve a crime. With Hayder, however, the combination of old and new is portrayed when ancient evils are thrust onto the setting of a contemporary urban landscape. Her savage style ventures into the modern attraction to all things supernatural and then questions contemporary assumptions about the definition of evil.

Often compared to Thomas Harris, author of the Hannibal Lechter series, Hayder has a penchant for breaking boundaries. She not only expands on the modern mystery, she combines fact with fiction and the mystery with the thriller. She shocks her readers with the horrors of reality and then challenges them to question the source of

their terror. In the end, however, her failure to be entirely groundbreaking has much to do with the repeat use of cliché character Jack Caffery, the troubled but dedicated detective who has served as Hayder’s protagonist in three novels – Birdman, The Treatment, and now Ritual. Seemingly a depraved human being, Caffery exhibits all the quintessential hyper-masculine flaws that women love to hate. He is haunted by inner demons that suggest an inherent goodness, and though he may have iniquities they make him capable of guarding the good from the evil.

“I am in no denial about it: Detective Inspector Jack Caffery is my poster-boy…In him I was writing my fantasy lover,” writes Mo Hayder in an article entitled The Problem with Caffery, “so it may say something about me that Jack Caffery is a woman-beating alcoholic who carries his anger around like a short-fuse semtex and is congenitally incapable of sustaining a meaningful friendship, let alone a relationship. In fairness, it isn’t these qualities I was most drawn to in Jack. Instead I was intrigued by a man who illustrated the dichotomy in a world where law and order increasingly tread a hazy line, where the protector can be the aggressor, the public servant the criminal. Jack Caffery is constantly challenged to define himself as good or bad.” 07

Terrie on Nonprofits

By Terrie Temkin, Ph.D.

A Policy Ensures Confidentiality

in the Board Room Q: I know you’ve written previously about the need for both confidentiality and transparency in the boardroom (August 2006; http://www.corestrategies4nonprofits.com/confidentiality.html). In that article you mentioned the value of having a written policy on confidentiality to ensure the appropriate balance. What would you include in such a policy?

A: I see a number of issues that should be addressed. At a minimum, these include: Board Discussions – If board members are going to feel comfortable about discussing sensitive issues, sharing their thoughts or suggesting something a bit risky, they have to trust that their comments will stay within the boardroom. This means making clear that there is to be no after-meeting quarter-backing in the parking lot and certainly no sharing topics of conversation, financial status or future plans with the community until such a time that the board’s voice is one voice and ready to be shared.

Donors

State how you intend to protect your donors and prospects. Will anonymity be the default assumption unless the individuals request otherwise? Under what conditions will their names be released and to whom will they be released? What other information will be shared – e.g., the terms and amounts of their donations or their potential? Who will have access to their files?

Mailing Lists

What about those on your mailing list? If you intend to rent or sell your lists now or any time in the future are you sharing this fact with those on your list? Are you allowing them to opt out?

(For additional considerations, see “Can Donors Expect Privacy,” On Nonprofits, July 2008; http://www.corestrategies4nonprofits.com/ donor_privacy.html).

Client Information

Your clients are particularly vulnerable. How do you expect to ensure that service providers, volunteers, receptionists, data-management personnel, even the janitor maintain confidentiality? State clearly what must remain confidential – e.g., the fact that someone is a client of your organization, his/her issue(s) or condition(s), what the client says, what others say about the client, and any personal information kept on file.

Personnel Issues – A lack of confidentiality regarding personnel issues can result in costly

court judgments against the organization. You want to be sure to state your commitment to protecting the privacy of the organization’s employees. This is particularly true regarding contracts, compensation, evaluations, disciplinary actions, possible termination, medical conditions, including the use of corporate-sponsored psychological or substance abuse help, and harassment or bias claims.

Legal Issues – Fortunately, litigation is not rampant in the nonprofit sector, but it does happen. You want to be sure that people are not speaking out in the community about potential, pending or current suits against the organization, unless they have been asked to serve as a spokesperson.

Consequences – Be clear about the consequences for ignoring the confidentiality clause.

Based on your mission, your organizational culture and your status in the community you

may have other items to add, for instance the security of passwords and access codes or the handling of potential mergers. Of course, what you say about each of these topics is for your board to determine. My hope is that the above questions and thoughts will stimulate important discussion.

WHAT JUST

HAPPENED What Just Happened begins with a test screening for Fiercely, a new movie starring Sean Penn. The film concludes with the graphic gun-shot death of the hero and his dog, not too much of a crowd pleaser. Poor test scores prompt the studio to request a new cut of the film, but the director doesn’t want to sacrifice his artistic vision. These are just some of the many problems in the life of Ben, a fading Hollywood producer played by Robert DeNiro.

Ben’s already in over his head trying to balance the tug-of-war of having two ex-wives and two different families when he embarks on his assignment. He’s confused and bewitched by his ex-wife Kelly (Robin Wright Penn) who can’t make up her mind about him. He is shocked by his daughter Zoe (Kristen Stewart) who seems to have grown up overnight. And he’s infuriated by his screenwriter friend (Stanley Tucci) who’s trying to make a deal with him while making moves on his former wife.

After Fiercely starts to look like an audienceoffending flop the iron-gloved studio chief Lou (Catherine Keener) forces Ben into tangling with the film’s rebellious and drug-addled director Jeremy (Michael Wincott). Meanwhile, Ben is horrified by Bruce Willis (played by Bruce Willis) who shows up to rehearsals 30 pounds heavier and sporting a “Grisly Adams beard,” and there’s no help coming from Willis’ agent Dick (John Turturro) who turns out to be scared to death by his own clients. Somehow amidst all the madness, treachery, deceit, runaway egos, rampant commercialism, personal politics and atrocious behavior of America’s dream-making machinery, Ben has to find a way not just to make it to Cannes with a finished film, but to cope.

DeNiro’s foray into comedy has been widely successful over the past few years, beginning with Analyze This – which earned him a nomination for the 14th Annual American Comedy Awards – and continuing with hits like Meet the Parents.

The fiercely intimidating actor from Taxi Cab and Goodfellas has proven his ability to make audiences laugh, but DeNiro’s comedy success has always relied on teaming up with talented comedic actors like Billy Crystal (Analyze This) and Ben Stiller (Meet the Parents). In What

Just Happened, DeNiro is forced to carry the comedy load alone. He succeeds by making the character real and the comedy subtle. Ben is a normal guy with real problems that – when viewed by people who could just as easily be living them – are undeniably funny.

Of course, DeNiro is certainly aided by an all-star cast, and everyone enjoys seeing big budget actors get their hands dirty with a quasiindependent film of the Sundance variety. But there are some drawbacks to doing a satire of Hollywood culture. It can either end up bombing like Robert Altman’s The Player or it can shoot low and end up with the superficial, voyeuristic appeal that has audiences tuning into watch Entourage, the bastard offspring of Marky-Mark Whalberg and HBO television.

But have no fear because Academy Award winning director Barry Levinson saves the day by managing to repeat what he did in Get Shorty. What Just Happened is an entertaining, smart, sophisticated comedy that mocks tinsel town without glamorizing it.

Based on the acclaimed, bestselling memoir by veteran Hollywood producer Art Linson, who wrote the screenplay and produced the film with Robert DeNiro and Jane Rosenthal, What Just Happened is a winningly sharp comedy about two nail-biting, back-stabbing, roller-coaster weeks in the world of a middle-aged Hollywood producer as he tries to juggle an actual life with an outrageous series of crises in his day job. 07

ALPHA DOGS

HOW POLITICAL SPIN BECAME A GLOBAL BUSINESS The world watched with astonished awe in February 1986 when Corazon C. Aquino ousted Ferdinand E. Marcos as President of the Philippines. Aquino attributed her triumph to divine intervention. She probably should have credited Sawyer Miller Group.

In his first book, Alpha Dogs: How Political Spin Became a Global Business, James Harding, a former Financial Times journalist in Washington and now the editor of The Times in London, tells the story of Sawyer Miller Group, the influential campaign consultancy that became responsible for sharing with the world the disillusionment with democracy that is perhaps as old as democracy itself. During their decade of glory, democracy was America’s export and the consultants of Sawyer Miller Group were its salesman. Today, its alumni have moved into positions of prominence in dozens of foreign countries and into the offices of highpowered corporate empires.

Created by David Sawyer, a young New England aristocrat, and Scott Miller, an advertising copywriter, Sawyer Miller transitioned politics out of the smoke-filled back rooms and into the average American’s living room. According to Harding, in the new media age politicians and corporations no longer had the same authority. They had to “woo their consumers, explain themselves to their regulators, justify themselves to their investors.” And they needed consultancies like Sawyer Miller to help them do it.

After leading America’s politicians to a series of unprecedented victories, the consultants at Sawyer Miller went international. Wherever there was democracy (and even sometimes where there was not) there was Sawyer Miller with an army of eager young men and women and a bag full of tricks. “There is a parochial notion that elections are different everywhere. They are not,” Sawyer Miller alum Mark McKinnon, architect of George W. Bush’s ad campaigns in 2000 and 2004, tells Harding. “The things that drive elections are the same in Nebraska as they are in Ghana.”

In the 1986 election in the Philippines between Marcos and Aquino, Sawyer Miller consultant

Mark Malloch Brown threw the Marcos camp into confusion by declaring an Aquino victory before the ballot had been counted. In 1996, Arthur Finkelstein – the hard-edged GOP political campaigner who turned “liberal” into a dirty word – propelled Benjamin Netanyahu into the office of Israeli Prime Minister with the message that Netanyahu’s opponent, Shimon Peres, was soft on terrorism and had plans to divide Jerusalem. Commercials featuring Peres and Yasser Arafat walking hand-in-hand, followed by scenes from suicide bombings in Tel Aviv, were credited with swaying the vote to Netanyahu.

Harding points out that negative political spin is not a new phenomenon. To aid Roman politician Marcus Cicero in his campaign for the consulship of 63 BCE, his brother, Quintus Cicero, wrote a treatise on electioneering in which he suggests “there should be scandalous talk, in character, about the crimes, lusts, and briberies of your competitors.” According to Harding, in the United States, negative campaigning dates as far back as the very first presidential election between George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, in which campaign strategist John Beckley encouraged Jefferson to “go negative” by accusing Washington of embezzling public funds.

The tragedy of Sawyer Miller is that they were originally idealists who believed mass communication could create a “newer, truer, healthier democracy.” But they ended up playing an old game by a different set of rules, and eventually they collapsed under the weight of self-imposed recrimination and animosity in 1991. In this marvelously readable narrative, James Harding tells their story, the heartbreaking tale of a few men who eventually “understood that the flip side of freedom is the business of politics.” 07

GONZO:

THE LIFE AND WORK OF DR. HUNTER S. THOMPSON

From Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney and producer Graydon Carter comes a probing look into the uncanny life of national treasure and gonzo journalism inventor Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. A fast moving, wildly entertaining documentary with an iconic soundtrack, the film addresses the major touchstones in Thompson’s life – his intense and ill fated relationship with the Hell’s Angels, his near-successful bid for the office of sheriff in Aspen in 1970, the notorious story behind the landmark Fear Loathing in Las Vegas, his deep involvement in Senator George McGovern’s 1972 presidential campaign, and much more.

Courtesy Magnolia Pictures 2008

Borrowing from Kris Kristofferson, Thompson was a “walking contradiction, partly truth, mostly fiction.” While his pen dripped with venom for crooked politicians, he surprised nervous visitors with the courtly manners and soft-spoken delivery of a Southern gentleman. Careening out of control in his personal life, Thompson also maintained a steel-eyed conviction about righting wrongs. He remains an iconic crusader for truth, justice and a fiercely idealistic American way. For America’s most esteemed journalists – from Tom Wolfe to the NY Times’ Frank Rich – he remains an iconic freelancer, never afraid to gore every sacred cow in his path. Thompson believed that writing could make a difference. It could change things.

Directed by Alex Gibney, the Academy Award nominated director of Enron: the Smartest Guys in the Room and the director of the Academy Award winning documentary, Taxi to the Dark Side, Gonzo is the definitive film biography of a mythic American

figure – the man that launched a brash, irreverent, fearless style of journalism. While Gibney shaped the screen story, every narrated word in the film springs from the typewriters of Thompson himself.

Those words are given life by Johnny Depp, the actor who once shadowed Thompson’s every move for the screen version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and who bankrolled Thompson’s spectacular funeral (photographed for this film) in which the good doctor’s ashes were fired from a rocket launcher mounted with a towering two-thumbed fist whose palm held a giant peyote button.

The film is distinguished by its unprecedented cooperation of Thompson’s friends, family and estate. The filmmakers had access to hundreds of photographs and over 200 hours of audiotapes, home movies and documentary footage. In addition, the estate granted unusual access to the work itself, allowing the film to quote from unpublished manuscripts, as well as the many letters, books and

articles that Thompson produced. Ralph Steadman – the visionary artist whose ink-splattered drawings and paintings created a subversively iconic visual landscape for Thompson’s words – also granted the filmmakers access to previously unpublished artworks and Polaroid’s.

The signature of the film, however, is its focus on Thompson’s work, particularly his most provocative and productive period from 1965 to 1975. His wicked words resonate today, at a time when politicians have become manufactured celebrities, shrouding themselves in Teflon, issuing banalities whose only value is that they rarely offend. Too often, contemporary journalists play the politicians’ game, taking them seriously with a balance they don’t deserve. Thompson never stood for that. He understood, better than any other, that when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. 07

PORTRAIT OF A PORTRAIT ARTIST

What is the role of a portrait – to capture, tell a story, inform? Kris Lewis explores these questions through his paintings. His ideas on art reveal essential features that are not simply external aspects of the subject. Gradually one can see the signs that lead to theoretical thinking.

Raised amidst the vast setting of the Jersey shore, in a family that included seven brothers and one sister, Lewis was given plenty of opportunities to indulge his creative appetite. His father provided the artistic gene, but it was his mother who instilled in him a love for his Latvian heritage and its traditions, which are a major source of inspiration in Lewis’ artwork.

Among his influences are Andrew Wyeth, Hans Holbein, Albrecht Durer, Hieronymus Bosch, Gustav Klimt, Antonio Mancini, and Jules-Bastien LePage. Like the works of Andrew Wyeth, Lewis’ paintings are not an obvious psychological study of the subject but more of an extensive study of subtle qualities of character and mood. Other inspirations, such as Alfonse Bouguereau, motivate Lewis’ penchant for creating an idealized world with a heavy concentration on the female human body.

His reverence for masters of old is apparent in his depiction of the human figure, which he uses as a vector for hidden stories, delicate emotion, and universal truth. His affinity for people-watching also informs his paintings – collecting glances, gestures and hints and channeling them through the canvas for the viewer to share in the experience. Lewis’ almost photorealistic style brings to life his subjects in a way which is very appealing. He employs traditional methods of working up a painting, including detailed pencil studies, and his careful method results in a pleasing and accurate rendering of the human form.

After studying Illustration at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Lewis eventually found himself living and working in Los Angeles, where he still resides. His paintings have been featured in galleries in cities around the world, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Miami, London, and Hong Kong. His work has also been featured in the books Copro/ Nason: A Catalogue Raisonne and Two Faced: The Changing Face of Portraiture.

Admirers of Lewis’ art believe that his paintings, in addition to sometimes displaying overt beauty, contain strong emotional currents, symbolic content, and underlying abstraction. His masterful control of understated color and foreboding shadow lets the simplest subjects illuminate the canvas. Among the most common criticisms are that his art verges on illustration, and that his predominant subject matter is heavily weighted with sentiment.

When viewing Lewis’ paintings, one is immediately struck by the painterly quality of his work. It imparts a luminosity and life force sorely missing in flat, photorealistic work. While he has not expanded his themes – bringing some people to the conclusion that he has a narrow focus – Lewis’ passion remains centered on figurative compositions, the very thing that has made him one of the foremost portrait artists in the United States. 07

THE PALLEY PAVILION

By Emily Watson Photos by Carlos Domenech Courtesy of Lowe Art Museum

GLASS MENAGERIE The Myrna and Shelley Palley Pavilion for Contemporary Glass and Studio Arts at the University of Miami

Lowe Art Museum is the first major addition to the museum in 12 years. Named after the two prestigious

alumni, Myrna and Sheldon Palley, who donated more than 150 pieces by 53 different artists, the 3,500 square foot Palley Pavilion houses a comprehensive collection valued in excess of $3.5 million.

Glass art is a natural expression of the manufacturing process. Like ceramics, glass is versatile. It can be modeled, pressed, rolled, blown, and spun into threads. And glass, like ceramics, has had a long history.

Glassmaking most likely began some 5,000 years ago in the Middle East. By the industrial revolution, glass objects were being massproduced as refinement in fuels and tools increased production dramatically.

1979, Littleton added a chamber to the front of the unit with a gas assist. The new furnace used electric power to reach 2400 degrees and employed the glass chamber to maintain the temperature at which glass is worked, 1800 degrees F.

During the 20th century, glass became part of a broadening of artistic media. New and ancient traditions combined to transform glass into an art form. Free from the fastpaced constraints of mass production, artists were able to revert back to the early stages of glass construction and focus on a single piece, while at the same time employing factory-developed techniques.

The discovery that made the Studio Glass Movement possible belonged to Harvey Littleton (the father of the Studio Glass Movement) who, in 1962, determined that glass could be melted at lower temperatures and in smaller furnaces than those used in large factories. The Littleton art piece currently on view at the Palley Pavilion, Ovoid Section from the Geometric Series (1980), resulted from Littleton’s contributions to studio glass technology in the 1970s.

In 1973, the oil embargo led Littleton to design an electric furnace capable of generating enough energy to reach the point at which glass melts, 2400 degrees F. Because glass is shaped and formed at lower temperatures, Littleton used gravity alone to stretch and bend hot glass on the blowpipe, resulting in his 1970s series of works Folded Forms and Loops. Then, in

Richard Jolley

With the redesigned electric furnace, Littleton was able to begin working on the Geometric series (his most famous body of work), from which Ovoid Section from the Geometric Series

(1980) is taken. Ovoid Section features highly polished, heavy cased concentric layers cut into ovoid shapes. Overlapping sequences of blue and purple translucent hues harmonize to create a subtle luminescence.

Once a student of Littleton’s at the University of Wisconsin and currently an artist represented at the Palley Pavilion, Dale Chihuly is also a renowned revolutionary figure in the Studio Glass Movement. The Chihuly artwork on display at the Palley Pavilion, Yellow and Orange Persians Form with Cobalt Blue Lip Wrap (1989), demonstrates the artist’s expertise with threaded Venetian glass. It’s an expertise Chihuly acquired during his residency in Venice at Venini Fabrica on the island of Murano. The Persian series, which debuted in 1986 for his solo exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs of the Palais du Louvre in Paris,” was described in the exhibition catalogue as “new possibilities from the blowpipe.”

Having lost an eye in 1976, Chihuly has since lacked the depth perception necessary to handle molten glass himself.

He conceptualizes each project with paint on canvas and employs a team of glass artists to execute his design. By doing so, he has transformed glass sculpture into a multifaceted process, converting the fundamental premise of the isolated artist working in a studio environment to encompass the notion of collaborative teams and a division of labor within the creative process.

In 1971, Chihuly and others founded the Pilchuck Glass School, which has since

24 | SYMPOSIUM 7

Michael Glancy

7 SYMPOSIUM | 25

become a major influence in the development of the glass art movement. “Glassblowing is not an easy craft to do by yourself – it’s much easier with an assistant or a team,” says Chihuly. “By this time there were several schools teaching glassblowing, but only Pilchuck taught students to work in teams. It opened many more possibilities for everyone. We soon started inviting visiting faculty, artists, and master glassblowers from the great glass centers of the world. Of course, they all worked in teams and the teams would be made up from students or faculty from Pilchuck.”

Currently a renowned glass artist represented at the Palley Pavilion, William Morris joined Chihuly’s team at Pilchuck after being hired there as a driver. “He had a little glassblowing experience and started to ask me about teamwork…I told him I was starting at 4:00 am, four hours from then, and if he were there I’d put him on the team,” says Chihuly. “He was there at 4:00 am and never missed a day on the pad for 12 years…and in 1986 he went out on his own – he became one of the great glassblowers of the world.”

In both concept and technique, William Morris is noticeably different from Chihuly. His works

Dan Dailey

reflect an interest in archaeology, ancient pagan cultures, and mythology. “Morris’s works are not flashy, as are many pieces created in glass, but more quietly beautiful, with their opaque, sensual surfaces,” writes Patricia Watkinson in her introduction to the catalogue for Morris’ 2001 exhibition, Myth, Object and the Animal.

“A luminous color seems to glow within each piece as if it were some sort of life force or blood coursing though.”

To achieve his trademark mystical aesthetic, Morris applies a finely powdered, colored glass to a heated mold – a demonstration of the French pate de verre technique, which involves attaching paste of glass to the surface of the glass mold before firing. The powdered glass is shaped on smooth metal plates and heated, after which Morris rolls a glowing hot glass shape over the design. The images formed by the powdered glass are transferred to the artwork in reverse. This unique treatment of the surface suggests to the viewer that these objects are not unlike the ruins of some ancient civilization.

For glass artworks, the decoration achieved is a direct result of technique and technology. In many ways, the art form presented is not what

is seen within the museum walls, but rather the arduous process that brought about the object.

From the earliest glassmakers to the more recent, the craft of creating glass objects has been one of art and engineering. Creativity was the end but science and invention were the means. But without creative pursuits to enable the efforts of construction science is without purpose and possibilities are without merit.

“The method used by the contemporary artist is a constant probing and questioning of the standards of the past and the definitions of the present to find an opening for new form statements in the material and process,” wrote Harvey Littleton in his 1971 book, Glassblowing: A Search for Form. “It is even said that this search is an end in itself. Although knowledge of chemistry or physics as they apply to glass will broaden the artist’s possibilities, it cannot create them. Tools can be made, furnaces and annealing ovens can be built cheaply. But it is through the insatiable, adventurous urge of the artist to discover the essence of glass that his own means of expression will emerge.” 07

The Complete Crumb, Courtesy of the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia

By David De Russo

From September 5th to December 7th, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia will be showing R. Crumb’s Underground, a career-spanning survey organized around specific themes and ideologies critical to the work of underground comic legend Robert Crumb.

Featuring collaborations from his early San Francisco days in the 1960s and 1970s to recent work with wife, cartoonist Aline Kominsky-Crumb, this exhibit of over 100 works – including early comics, greeting cards, collaborations, and sketchbooks, as well as drawings and sculptures – is the most substantial portrait of Crumb to date in the United States.

28 | SYMPOSIUM 7

On November 14, 1968, Moe Moskowitz, a wellknown Berkeley bookseller, was arrested for selling pornographic comic books and other “obscene” publications. The arrest took place after a plainclothes cop, Franz Schwarm, visited the popular used bookstore on Telegraph Avenue where he purchased a copy of Snatch comics and showed it to his fellow officers. The police raided Moe’s Books the next day and confiscated more than a hundred comic books, including 74 copies of Zap Comix # 2. Stu Glauberman of the Berkeley Barb asked the creator of Snatch and Zap Comix if his work was meant to “arouse the prurient interests” of his readers. “I don’t know about that,” replied Robert Crumb, “but I’m aroused.”

“Whatever’s in the mind should be brought out in the open,” said Crumb. “There’s a lot of weird shit in everybody’s head. Anybody could be a cartoonist if they could draw. The whole value of a cartoonist is to be able to bring it all out in the open. It takes courage to let it all out. And it’s necessary so that we can all laugh at it all.”

Robert Crumb arrived in San Francisco in 1967. It was there that he established himself as a quintessential contributor to the growing “comix” movement of the 1960s. Underground comics or “comix” (the term adopted to set them apart from mainstream comic books, emphasizing the “x” for x-rated) were becoming increasingly popular among the HaightAshbury crowd. The counterculture-inspired comic books focused on taboo topics like sex, drugs, rock music and anti-war protest. But no one had ever seen anything like Crumb.

First featured in Philadelphia’s Yarrowstalks and in his own Zap Comix, Crumb’s brilliant storytelling and skillful artistry – an evocation of cartooning styles made popular in the 1930s – conveyed a pulsating symbolic language. His tales of funny animals and misguided souls seeking enlightenment (including Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural, Devil Girl, and his most enduring character, R. Crumb) vibrate with libidinal obsessions, feminist empowerment, racial tension, counterculture paranoia, government repression, and the corporate hustles that hide beneath the American dream.

Robert Hughes, the eminent art critic for Time magazine, called Crumb “the one and only genius the 1960s underground produced in visual art,” and described him as “the Bruegel of the last half of the twentieth century.” His technique is a source of uncompromising critical acclaim, to the extent that his work is now being showcased in galleries and museums all over the world. The exhibition, R. Crumb’s Underground, at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia is the artist’s most recent foray into the exclusive realm of high-class contemporary art. But it isn’t the first. And he isn’t the first comic book artist to be seen in such a setting.

“Gary Panter, Chris Ware and Daniel Clowes are just three of the better-known contemporary cartoonists who have helped to make the comic book a form to be taken seriously by sophisticated adults,” notes Ken Johnson in his review of the exhibition for the New

York Times. “But Mr. Crumb – a draftsman of transcendent skill, inventiveness and versatility, a fearlessly irreverent, excruciatingly funny satirist of all things modern and progressively high-minded, and an intrepid explorer of his own twisted psyche – remains the genre’s gold standard.”

In 2004, Crumb was included in the Carnegie International and had a career retrospective at the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Germany. Then, in 2007, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco organized the exhibition currently on display in Philadelphia.

“Crumb is everything you would look for in a great artist,” says Todd Hignite, the editor of Comic Art magazine and curator of the exhibition. “He speaks very directly to a specific cultural moment unflinchingly, and he also explores universal themes and existential issues that keep you up at night.”

But for all its critical acclaim – which Crumb seems to disregard – and commercial success – which he seems to downright despise – the content contained in Crumb’s comics is, in the words of Crumb biographer D.K. Holm, “decidedly controversial.” According to Holm, Crumb is “the contrarian’s contrarian.” He is one of the most famous cartoonists in American history, but prefers to avoid exposure or commercial success. His drawings evoke nostalgia for America’s past, but his comics are satires of contemporary society. He’s considered a representative of the 1960s counterculture, but he’s known to dislike its ethics.

Crumb personifies a role in the history of underground comics that is often compared to Bob Dylan’s in pop music. He employed established art forms to open up the doors to a more introspective creativity. He spawned a multitude of imitators and, much to his dissatisfaction, caused people to regard him as something of a spokesman for his generation.

“My pissant little fame had made my life so completely crazy,” says Crumb. “Most of my energy was now focused on dealing with the endless procession of hustlers and hangers-on, and getting rid of all this pent-up sex rage. The comics definitely suffered.”

Crumb always told slightly risqué stories and ventured towards the edge of controversy with drug-inspired animation. But, ironically, the artwork that made him famous was relatively inoffensive. It was a six-panel cartoon that appeared in Zap # 1 in 1968, and it ended with a big-footed character saying “Keep on Truckin’.” The image was repeatedly featured on posters, T-shirts and headshop memorabilia, mostly without Crumb’s permission or participation. Combined with “Fritz the Cat” and his cover for Brig Brother and the Holding Company’s Cheap Thrills album, the slogan made Crumb an icon. And he chose to take advantage of fame by expressing the hatred he had for anyone that had once rejected him.

“It’s really annoying that ‘Keep on Truckin’’ is seen as my trademark,” says Crumb. “Imagine being branded with something you casually threw out in April 1967 that somehow catches the popular imagination and follows you to your grave.”

32 | SYMPOSIUM 7

To escape the suffocating confines of the counterculture category, Crumb elevated his comics to a level of taboo even the counterculture would inevitably despise. He wrote stories that bordered the boundary between painful autobiography and masturbatory fantasy. The story “Joe Blow” – a mock-paean to incest – prompted obscenity arrests at bookstores that sold the work. And women, who were increasingly seen in the context of violent sexual assaults, expressed scorn for Crumb’s lustful illustrations, particularly those contained in the story “Devil Girl.”

Some argue, however, that the controversy surrounding Crumb is a result of his chosen medium, and not necessarily the content contained within it. They believe that because comic books are inherently prone to eliciting widespread condescension the willingness to approach controversial topics is responded to with a substantial decrease in tolerance.

“The comic book genre will always suffer from the fact that it bridges divides that the art world has worked hard to create, between narrative art and the kind of picturemaking that is not narrative,” says Robert Storr, a curator in the department of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art. “A lot of people think that De Kooning’s ‘Woman 1” is a misogynistic painting, and they also think it’s a very funny painting if they understand it properly. Crumb is using his energies to move through stories, but it’s a lot of the same influence.

And he has a humor that’s as sophisticated as his anger. I think he absolutely is a serious artist.”

Very Funny Mr. Snoid, Courtesy of the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia

Crumb manages to shock the reader, not only with his chosen subject matter, but also with the manner through which it is communicated – a cartoon illustration. His influences are the cartoon artists of earlier generations like Billy De Beck (Barney Google), George Baker (Sad Sack), E.C. Segar (Popeye), Bud Fisher (Mutt and Jeff), John Stanley (Little Lulu), and Carl Barks (Donald Duck). But, unlike the endearing heroes of Walt Disney and Merrie Melodies, Crumb’s characters possess traits that render them unsympathetic, if not revolting.

Fritz the Cat is self-satisfied, smug, and idealistic but unmotivated. Mr. Natural, a white-bearded, barefoot eco-guru in loose-fitting getups, is forever making incoherent boasts. And Angelfood McSpade, a sensual, black, earth-mother stereotype, is revealed over time to be a white man’s erotic projection. Crumb even mocks himself, presenting his likeness as weak-kneed, acerbic, slouching, overly self-conscious, and mean-spirited. But when they are combined with the bizarre situations they encounter, Crumb’s characters highlight the irrational fears, anxieties, and hypocrisies that underscore the cultural experience.

“Yeah, but is it art?” That’s what R. Crumb’s alter ego asked on the poster for the Ludwig Museum exhibition in Cologne. Crumb’s capacity for controversy is extensive, with most of his critics focusing their rage at the content of his comics. But the question remains as to whether or not Crumb is to be considered a creator of fine art.

During a public lecture that accompanied the Ludwig show, museum director Kasper Konig made a case for Crumb’s artistry by arguing on behalf of its intellectual merit. It was reported that viewers of the Ludwig exhibition were astonished by the artist’s perfect drawing

technique, as his original work appeared to differ so little from the printed versions.

His earlier works show Crumb’s grounding in comic technique, as well as his innovative use of perspective and shading. The exclusive implementation of pen and ink reduced middletone possibilities and forced Crumb to compress a great deal of information into a minimal line.

Many pencil studies from the 1960s provide insight into Crumb’s technical and stylistic experimentation before he found his mature style. Working for the American Greeting Card Company taught Crumb crucial stylistic lessons, such as graphic bluntness and the bold use of color. Illustrating greeting cards clearly affected his own black-and-white comic-strip imagery, which became more close-up and extreme, featuring greater white space and denser blacks, and more emphasis on singledirection shading.

Comic book illustrations penetrated the boundaries of fine art in Europe long ago.

Consider, for example, Jean Henri Gaston Giraud, who earned worldwide fame as a French comics artist not only under his own name but also under the pseudonym Moebius, or Georges Prosper Remi, a Belgian comics artist better known by the pen name Herge. Following in the wake of these early pioneers, Pop Art successfully elevated comic drawings from an entertaining medium to a worthy source of top quality visual art. Noted similarities exist between Crumb’s illustrations and the works of the great American painter Philip Guston. And other recognized artists with whom his name is often associated are the Swede Öyvnd Fahlström and the American Raymond Pettibon.

Crumb is more than a virtuosic illustrator or a provocateur. Crumb is a combination of both.

And, as such, he is an artist. He challenges viewers to find humor in that which they find fearful and to find fear in that which they find humorous. He digs to find emotions buried deep within the human soul. His chosen medium is unconventional, but his talent and technique are unprecedented. But while Crumb’s drawings have frequently been shown as art –even prominently, as in the 2004 Carnegie International in Pittsburgh – he maintains that publications, and not gallery exhibitions, are and always will be his chosen source of expression.

“The fine art world and the commercial art industry are both all about money,” he says. “It’s hard to say which is the more contemptible: the fine art world with its double talk and pretensions to the cultural high ground, or the world of commercial art trying to sell to the largest market it can reach.” 07

Wheat has been cultivated in Greece for thousands of years and it’s a staple part of Greek cuisine. It’s used to make a variety of breads including pita bread and crusty whole grain peasant bread. Bulgur, which is made from cracked whole wheat, is eaten as an accompaniment to hearty stews or added to soups and salads. Pasta, which was introduced to the Greeks by the Italians, is also a popular wheat-based food. Another important grainfood in the Greek diet is rice, which is used in pilafs and bakes, served with stews or wrapped in grape leaves to make dolmades.

Like wheat, olives have been cultivated in Greece since ancient times. The golden green oil extracted from the first cold pressing of olives is called extra virgin olive oil, and it is used in some form in most traditional Greek dishes.

Crusty bread dipped in a little extra virgin olive oil is also a popular accompaniment to food. As well as being used for their richly flavored oil, olives are also eaten whole. The most frequently eaten type is the plump kalamata olive which is added to stews and salads or eaten as part of a mezethes (appetizer) dish.

Greece is almost surrounded by sea, so it’s no surprise that fish and shellfish are eaten regularly.

The most popular types of fish and shellfish include tuna, mullet, bass, halibut, swordfish, anchovies, sardines, shrimp (prawns), octopus, squid and mussels. This fish and seafood is enjoyed in many ways: grilled and seasoned with garlic and lemon juice, baked with yogurt and herbs; cooked in rich tomato sauce, added to soups; or served cold as a side dish. Chicken is also eaten regularly, as are game birds such as quail and Guinea foul.

Meat and dairy

Vegetables AND herbs

Meat doesn’t play a prominent role in traditional Greek cuisine. It’s usually reserved for festivals and special occasions or used in small amounts as a flavor enhancer. When meat is eaten it’s most often sheep or goat, but these animals aren’t just used for their meat. Sheep and goats also provide a valuable source of nourishment—milk. As milk spoils easily in the warm Mediterranean climate, it is traditionally turned into cheese (such as feta) or yogurt to help preserve it.

The warm climate of Greece makes it ideal for growing vegetables and fruits, and these are eaten in abundant amounts. A myriad of colorful and flavorful vegetables form a fundamental part of Greek cuisine. These include tomatoes, garlic, onions, spinach, artichokes, fennel, lettuce, cabbage, horta (wild greens), zucchini, eggplant and peppers. A variety of herbs and seasonings are used to flavor food including flat-leaf parsley, dill, oregano, cilantro, mint, ground pepper, sea salt and cinnamon. Lemon juice and lemon rind are also used to season food and in dressings.

Recipe for traditional Spanakopita: Ingredients: 2 lbs. fresh spinach leaves 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill 2 cups finely chopped green onions 1 1/2 tsp. fine Fine Grey Sea Salt

or Traditional Portuguese Sea Salt 1/4 cup Organic Extra-virgin Olive Oil 3 cups chopped onion 1/4 tsp. coarse ground black pepper 1/2 lb. feta cheese, crumbled

(traditionally made from sheeps milk, feta

cheese from goat milk is also good) 14 filo leaves

(usually sold frozen, thaw thoroughly!)

3/4 cup clarified butter (ghee), melted.

Directions: 1) Wash and clean the spinach. Discard the stems. Drain & cut the leaves into shreds.

Legumes and nuts

Desserts and beverages

Legumes such as chickpeas, lima beans, split peas and lentils are widely used in traditional Greek cooking. They are eaten either whole in stews, bakes, pilafs, soups and salads, or pureed and used as a dip or spread such as hummus.

Many types of nuts are used in cooking or eaten as snacks—particularly pine nuts, almonds, walnuts and pistachios.

Fresh and dried fruit are the usual dessert. Rich desserts and pastries, often sweetened with honey, are mostly reserved for special occasions or eaten in small amounts. Wine is consumed regularly in Greece, but mainly with food, and in moderation. Ouzo (an aniseed flavored spirit) and beer are also popular alcoholic beverages.

Strong black coffee is one of the most popular non-alcoholic beverages.

2) Combine the spinach, parsley, dill, green onions and grey sea salt in a bowl. Let stand for 15 minutes, then press out all of the liquid.

3) Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a skillet and saute the 3 cups of chopped onions until soft and transparent.

Add the spinach mixture from step 2 and saute for a few more minutes. Add the feta cheese and black pepper.

4) Place each of 7 filo leaves in a buttered 10” x 17” x 2” baking pan, bruhing each leaf with melted clarified butter. Add the spinach mixture from step 3, spread into a thick layer then add remaining filo leaves, again brushing each leaf with melted clarified butter. Cut into 3”x 3” pieces with a sharp knife.

5) Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

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. 472 Broome St. New York, NY 10013 212-334-0407 www.codagallery.com

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.
