Salvador Dalí's 'Stairway to Heaven' Exhibition Touring the U.S.
Salvador Dalí’s Stairway to Heaven exhibition showcases over 140 artworks by the prolific artist and uniquely presents two of his projects from the Park West Gallery collection. Discover how this legendary artist progressed in his personal life and views as an artist through this museum exhibition, which will be touring the United States through 2021.

Video Transcription:
Salvador Dalí's Stairway to Heaven
showcases over 140 works by the prolific artist.
The exhibition uniquely presents
two of Dalís projects from the collection of the Park West Museum.
My name is LouAnne Greenwald and I'm the director here at the Hilliard University Art Museum at UM.
We're delighted to be the first venue for this wonderful exhibition and it's really special for us to be able to present an artist like Salvador Dalí, someone of international importance to our community.
He has a wonderful way of working both abstractly and figuratively, and I think in his prints you really see how he was truly a master, you know, especially in the way he renders the figure in the musculature of the body and his representations are sometimes fantastic and sometimes horrifying, but always really intriguing, and I think the two print portfolios together really create an interesting dialogue about mortality and about spirituality.
So, we are sitting in one of three galleries here at the Hilliard Museum, and this is the gallery where we have installed Salvador Dalí's Stairway to Heaven, and tonight will be the opening of the exhibitions.
In honor of Dalí's Spanish heritage, we'll have flamenco dancers in the atrium
So I think it'll be a really fun and festive evening this evening.
Dalí believed that Surrealism's role in society was to question the intellectual systems and traditions that unify it.
He hoped to expose what he believed were the false narratives humankind imposed upon culture and the physical world, which he viewed as an arbitrary, irrational place.
Ben Hickey is the curator at the Hilliard University Art Museum and he toured guests through the exhibition that was guest curated by David Rubin.
[Ben Hickey] Dalí's Stairway to Heaven presents a fascinating analog for Dalí's life and, I really like it because a personal look
at a canonical artist that is so famous that he becomes one dimensional at times.
So within this exhibition, we're looking at two bodies of work by Dalí:
[LouAnne Greenwald] one called “Les Chants de Maldoror,” which is an illustration of a 19th century poem that the Surrealists embraced and Dalí had the opportunity to illustrate that in black and white.
[Hickey] You see a world that is amoral, nihilistic, cruel, and savage, which mirrors Dalí's personal worldview as a younger artist,
[Greenwald]and then that's contrasted with The Divine Comedy that Dalí produced in the late 1950s and it's again illustrations of The Divine Comedy, but with a more kind of spiritual
reflection.
[Hickey] You, you see some struggle and some evil but he emerges redeemed and that parallels Dalí later in life becoming interested in spirituality and Christianity and mysticism as well.
We see Dalí borrowing from canonical religious imagery, for example, he references a drawing believed to be made by Saint John of the Cross from the 16th century, and it features this God's eye view downward of Jesus as he's dying for humanity's sins, and it's something that people can relate to, and this type of imagery is what I touched on before where it's relatable, it makes Dalí
relatable as he's going through his own personal journey through mysticism, Christianity.
You know, in South Louisiana we love Surrealism, we love costumes, so, there's a particular resonance of this kind of work in our community.
It's wonderful to be able to borrow works from the Park West Museum, and just want to say thank you so much to them.

Ellis Island Immigration Station New Jersey New York Border Line America by BK Bazhe.com
Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty -
Ellis Island, off the New Jersey shoreline in upper New York Bay and in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, was the principal federal immigration station in the United States after its opening in 1892. The original building, destroyed by fire in 1897 pro cessed some 15,000,000 immigrants. A new inspection station was opened on the island in 1900 with the completion of the massive French Renaissance style main building. During the next half century the original 3 acre island was enlarged several times with landfill to encompass 27.5 acres. Additional structures, including a general and contagious disease hospital, were built to provide facilities for the administration of immigration laws in processing
incoming aliens.

Museum Launches Master of Arts in Teaching Program
The New York State Department of Education has selected the American Museum of Natural History to launch a pioneering Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program this fall.
The Museum is proud to be the first museum in the United States to offer a master's degree program to prepare science teachers, said Ellen V. Futter, President of the American Museum of Natural History. The Museum's new Master of Arts in Teaching program extends the Museum's formal roles both in improving the teaching of science and addressing the national crisis in science education, and will be an important new component of the Museum's longstanding graduate training, including, most notably, the Richard Gilder Graduate School, the only museum-based Ph.D.-granting program in the country.
Drawing on the Museum's unique resources and long history in teacher professional development, the 15-month MAT program is being launched as part of a specialized pilot program to help address a critical shortage of qualified science teachers in New York State, particularly in high-needs schools, by offering coursework with a specialization in Earth science for teachers of grades 7 through 12. The MAT program, which is supported by funding provided in part by the New York State Education Department and the National Science Foundation, will model and test new approaches that can be replicated across New York State and nationally.
The Museum will conduct the program in partnership with six schools—Murry Bergtraum High School for Business Careers in Manhattan; the Queens Vocational and Technical High School in Queens; the Thomas C. Giordano Middle School in the Bronx; Roosevelt High School and Gorton High School in Yonkers; and Freeport High School in Freeport, Long Island—with diverse student populations that include English Language Learners and students with special needs. Candidates in the MAT program will spend a full academic year in a partner school and will receive mentoring from experienced science teachers. In a feature unique to the Museum's program, degree candidates will also spend two summers paired with Museum scientists and educators, one summer in programs for youth and one summer in a science practicum residency.
In addition, alumni of the Museum's program will be offered a two-year, early-career professional development program, a critical element of support for new teachers entering the classroom that directly addresses the high rates of attrition among new teachers and the specific challenges of teaching in high-needs schools.
The Museum will begin the planning process for the new MAT program this fall, with the first class of teachers slated to begin coursework next summer.
The new MAT program continues to build on the Museum's work in post-secondary education. In 2006, the Museum became the first museum in the Western Hemisphere to grant the Ph.D. through its Richard Gilder Graduate School, which offers a doctoral program in comparative biology.

The Known Universe takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan through May 2010.

Abandoned Ellis Island Hospital Southside Immigrant Hospital Private Tour The Statue of Liberty
A Trip to the abandoned Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital.
The Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital is the United States’ first public health hospital, opened in 1902 and operating as a hospital until 1930. The hospital served as a detention facility for new immigrants who were deemed unfit to enter the United States after their arrival; immigrants would either be released from the hospital to go on to a new life in America or sent back to their home countries. The hospital was one of the largest public health hospitals in United States history and is still viewed today as an extraordinary endeavor in the public health field.[5] While the monument is managed by the National Park Service as part of the National Parks of New York Harbor office, the south side of Ellis Island has been off-limits to the general public since its closing. Efforts to restore the hospital buildings and others on the island are being made by government partner Save Ellis Island. In October 2014, the hospital opened to the public in small groups tours. I say it is worth every penny of the $45.00 or so it costs to do the tour.

Roger Kleier: The Manufacture of Consent
From the Rift release KlangenBang. Roger Kleier (guitars).
To purchase this CD, go to:
Roger Kleier is a composer, guitarist, and improviser who began playing electric guitar at age thirteen after discovering Captain Beefheart and Jimi Hendrix on the radio airwaves of Los Angeles. He studied composition at North Texas State University and the University of Southern California, and has developed a unique style that draws equally from improvisation, contemporary classical music, and the American guitar traditions of blues, jazz, and rock. Much of his compositional work involves the development of a broader vocabulary for the electric guitar through the use of extended techniques and digital sound manipulation. He has also written new works for soloists and chamber groups. Roger describes his approach to composing: “Having grown up in Los Angeles, I’ve always had an attraction to noir ambience. My music has often been inspired by the dark and hidden experiences of life, such as urban chaos, cold and icy winters, empty alleyways, deserted subway tunnels, dank Los Angeles River aqueducts, and even an occasional quiet pool of sinister beauty”.
Roger has been a guest lecturer and educator at the California Institute of the Arts, the Academy of Performing Arts Prague, Washington University St. Louis, Edith Cowan University Perth, Hartt College Hartford CT, San Francisco State University, Mills College Oakland, St. Cloud University Minnesota, the Perpich Center for the Arts Minneapolis, New York University, and Princeton University. He has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation, the American Composers Forum, the McKnight Foundaton, and Meet the Composer. Residencies include the Djerassi Foundation, the American Academy in Berlin, a McKnight Visiting Composer Fellowship (Minnesota), The Watermill Center, a Harvestworks Fellowship, an Engine 27 Project Residency, the Gerald Oshita Fellowship, and he was the Composer-in-Residence of the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College Oakland. Along with Annie Gosfield, he co-curated the Stone concert series for the month of August, 2010.
Featured performances of his include Warsaw Autumn Poland, the Tampere Jazz Festival Finland, the Schleswig Holstein Festival Hamburg, the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Jazz au Fil de L’eau Parthenay, the Athelas New Music Festival Copenahgen, MaerzMusik Berlin, Ring Ring Festival Belgrade, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, Rock and a Hard Place Festival Mills College Oakland, the Salvador Dali Museum St. Petersburg, Festival Musique Actuelle Victoriaville, Mesto Zensk Ljubljana, Der Weimarhalle Weimar, New Music Marathon Prague, Taktlos Festival Switzerland, the Anchorage NYC, the Audio Art Festival Cracow, the Totally Huge New Music Festival Perth, the Kitchen NYC, Moving Sounds Festival NYC, Symphony Space NYC, Bang On A Can Festival at Lincoln Center NYC, Roulette NYC, Experimental Intermedia NYC, the New Museum NYC, the Rive de Gier Jazz Festival, Festival Musique Action Nancy, Paradiso Amsterdam, WUK Vienna, Utopia Innsbruck, ESC Graz, and Alter Schlachthof Wels.
Roger has collaborated, performed, and recorded with Annie Gosfield, Marc Ribot, Elliott Sharp, Fred Frith, John Zorn, Chris Cutler, Joan Jeanrenaud, David Moss, Laurie Anderson, Carl Stone, Phill Niblock, Ikue Mori, David Krakauer, Hahn Rowe, Felix Fan, Billy Martin, Brian Chase, Agon Orchestra, Karole Armitage, Stan Ridgway, and many others. With various ensembles Roger has toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. His discography includes CDs on the Tzadik, CRI, Intakt, Atavistic, Wergo, ReR Megacorp, EMF, and Geffen labels.

Mike Daisey + Thom Knoles on Karma, Climate, Suffering and Surfing
Monologist and master storyteller Mike Daisey confronts the realities of cause and effect with Vedic meditation teacher Thom Knoles as part of our series on Karma:
About the Speakers
Mike Daisey, hailed as a “master storyteller” and “one of the finest solo performers of his generation” by the New York Times, is one of America’s preeminent monologists. He is well known for his provocative theatrical works that combine the political and the personal, weaving together secret histories with hilarity and heart. He is currently at work on a new book, Here at the End of Empire, which will be published next year.
Thom Knoles (Maharishi Vyasananda) is a master-teacher of Vedic meditation. After basing himself in Australia, Knoles became an acclaimed teacher of yoga and meditation before the age of twenty. He received an honorary doctorate from the Maharishi European Research University (MERU), a post-graduate neuroscience-and-consciousness research institute based in Switzerland, and quickly became a sought-after public speaker and educator, consulting more than forty top corporations and federal and state governments in Australia and abroad as well as government-funded meditation programs in prisons in Australia and in the United States. In the last decade Knoles began teaching widely in the United States in addition to continuing his teacher training programs in India. This is his second appearance at the Rubin Museum.
Inside the Sound of Om, with Pandit Rajmani Tinguait
In this very special episode of Talking Yoga, filmed at The Rubin Museum in New York City, as part of their OM Lab Exhibition, we would like you to consider a sound. The sound of Om. Instead of our usual host/guest format, this time we have but one guide: Pandit Rajmani Tinguait, the spiritual head of the Himalayan Institute and the successor of Swami Rama of the Himalayas.
Together we’ll delve into Indian philosophy and metaphysics to explore the concept of aksara, the indestructible sound of infinity. Pandit describes it as “A sound that describes the perfect stillness of the universe, where all the forces, all the energies, and all the vibratory patterns of matter are in a complete state of equanimity.”
Pandit explains how the sound of Om is simultaneously two different kinds of eternity, one constant, the other ever in flux. You’ll explore the four states of Om, described by four different components, and hear how the sound that we hear is merely the outward expression that can hardly represent the truth contained in Om. And in the end, Pandit describes how the process of our inner journeys and yoga can take us, if we reach deep enough, inside the sound of Om itself.
