Denver TV News: Minecraft for history & culture in Colorado

Denver TV News broadcast: Colorado history and culture in Minecraft

PARTICIPATE: Schools, sponsors and corporate collaborators are welcome to participate. For details on how to participate contact the Immersive Bent's Old Fort committee at


On November 19, 2014, the Immersive Education Initiative announced that Bent’s Old Fort, a unit of the United States National Park Service located on the Santa Fe Trail in Colorado’s Otero County, will be reconstructed virtually in the video game Minecraft and also as a fully immersive 3D virtual reality (VR) environment.

One of several new activities under the Initiative’s Immersive Arts and Culture program, Immersive Bent’s Old Fort is being developed in collaboration with the United States Department of the Interior National Park Service, the City of La Junta Colorado, Otero Junior College, and Colorado’s East Otero School District.

Through the Initiative’s Learn to Earn program students in Colorado, working in collaboration with Stanford University’s Architecture Design Program, will actively participate in reconstructing the fort in both Minecraft and virtual reality (VR).

Immersive Bent’s Old Fort, along with corresponding history curricula and teaching materials, will be available free of charge to the general public and to schools around the world.

Online virtual tours of the immersive fort will be available to schools as a complement to the in-person tours currently conducted on-site at the fort by National Park Service rangers. For details visit

CASTLE OF THE PLAINS

Known as the “Castle of the Plains,” Bent's Old Fort was a 1830s - 1840s adobe fur trading post on the mountain branch of the Santa Fe Trail where traders, trappers, travelers, and the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes came together in peaceful terms for trade. A unique center of cultural exchange at the time no less than seven different languages were spoken at the fort including English, Spanish, French, and numerous American Indian languages. Today, living historians recreate the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of the past with guided tours, demonstrations and special events.

Bent’s Old Fort served as an instrument of Manifest Destiny and a catalyst for change in the United States. The fort’s influence with the Plains Indians and its political and social connections in Santa Fe helped pave the way for the U.S. occupation of the West and the annexation of Mexico’s northern province during the U.S.-Mexican War. Along with El Camino Real, the Santa Fe Trail was part of a trade network linking Europe, New York, and St. Louis with Santa Fe and Mexico City. Opened in 1821, the Santa Fe Trail followed old trade routes established by American Indians that were later used by Spanish, Mexican and American troops, traders and other travelers.

Development of Immersive Bent’s Old Fort begins in January 2015.

Gabriele Evertz: Rapture Minus Space November 5 - December 17, 2011

Gabriele Evertz approaches painting as a humanist and color as a romantic. Evertz, who moved from Berlin to NYC at the age of 19, sees her work as bridging two opposing aesthetic traditions: a philosophical Northern European and a pragmatic American approach to painting. In contrast to other color painters who employ a theoretical or programmatic approach to color, she believes color is a living thing, which gives us access to abstract ideas and concepts.
Over the past two decades, Evertz has developed and continues to refine a purely experiential, highly saturated palette involving twelve colors. For her, the history of color organization became a tool that informs her systematic color structures. She also often uses black, white, and gray in her work, but prefers not to call them neutrals, which she feels is inadequate to describe the experience of them. Additionally, she views complementary colors within her system, such as blue and orange, not as antagonistic, but rather as true chromatic partners.
In recent years, Evertz has paid particular attention to the color gray, which she feels has been historically overlooked. We need to refresh our eyes to it, she states, words fall short to describe it. In her paintings on view at the gallery, gray is juxtaposed against subtle variations on the three primary colors (red, yellow, and blue), as well as part or all of her twelve-color system.
With a background in both painting and architecture, Evertz assigns structure to color in her work in the form of vertical stripes. The stripes span the entire height of her paintings from top to bottom, and commonly appear in varying widths as well, often within the same painting. She continually employs diagonal shifts placed between repeating sets of vertical lines, which she describes as the origin of action in her work. The result is an exuberant, ever-shifting color experience that elicits a sense of time in her paintings.
Throughout her career, Evertz's investigation of color has only become increasingly more experimental, impassioned, and optimistic, emphasizing research over result. Summarizing the scope of her practice, she very concisely states, in the absence of truth, there is art.
Gabriele Evertz (b. 1945 Berlin, Germany) has exhibited her work in solo and group exhibitions internationally, including in Australia, Germany, Italy, and New Zealand. Her recent museum exhibitions include P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center/MoMA (NYC), Heckscher Museum (Huntington, NY), Hillwood Art Museum (Brookville, NY), Columbus Museum (Columbus, OH), Ulrich Museum (Wichita, KS), and Karl Ernst Osthaus Museum (Hagen, Germany).
Her work is included in many public collections worldwide, including The British Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Columbus Museum of Art, Harvard University Art Museum, Hunterdon Museum of Art, Karl Ernst Osthaus Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, New Jersey State Museum, Parrish Art Museum, Stiftung für Konstruktive und Konkrete Kunst Zurich, Ulrich Museum of Art, Wilhelm Mack Museum, and Whitney Museum of American Art, among others. Her work has been recently reviewed in publications, such as Artcritical, NY Arts Magazine, ArtSlant, and The Village Voice.
In addition to her painting practice, Evertz is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art at Hunter College, NYC. She is a key protagonist in the renowned Hunter Color School, alongside other color painters, including Vincent Longo, Doug Ohlson, Robert Swain, and Sanford Wurmfeld. Over the past ten years, she has also curated several critically-acclaimed artist retrospectives and surveys of abstract painting at Hunter College, including Visual Sensations: Robert Swain Paintings, 1967-2010; Presentational Painting III; Seeing Red: An International Exhibition of Nonobjective Painting (co-curated with Michael Fehr); Set in Steel: The Sculpture of Antoni Milkowski; and Mac Wells: Light into Being (co-curated with Robert Swain).
Evertz holds an MFA in Painting and a BA in Art History from Hunter College, New York, NY.

Enough With The Billboards: Reclaiming Public Spaces with Street Art | Éva Boros | TEDxNashville

Éva Boros was born in Schorndorf, Germany, in 1988, and raised in Hungary after the withdrawal of the Soviet Occupation in 1991. At age 11, she emigrated to the United States. Witnessing graffiti was a primary point of similarity among the different cities and countries she lived during her childhood. As a result, she became fascinated by the subculture and visuals surrounding the art form. She has since written and produced Saving Banksy, a documentary about the theft and appropriation of street art and graffiti. She is also the co-founder of Nashville Walls Project which aims to bring street art by both international and local artists to public spaces. Watch Éva's talk now to be inspired and to learn more about the importance of art in public spaces.

Elegant Sarasota, FL with rentals and homes for sale & Real Estate Investments

SARASOTA GULF TO BAY TO GOLF

The European type city of Sarasota is truly the cultural capital of Florida. World class art, culture and entertainment abound, such as ballet, opera, shows, symphony, theater and the famous Ringling Museum of Art.

The walkable, active and vibrant downtown has many art galleries and studios with many masterpieces, spectacular international restaurants and cuisine, sidewalk cafes, waterfront dining and chic nightlife.

With the Gulf of Mexico as part of its tropical backyard, Sarasota has five islands or keys as us Floridians call them. To the North is Longboat Key. The key offers a cosmopolitan atmosphere consisting of upscale condos on the gulf-side and bayside homes with canals and marinas for the boating community.

Lido Key is directly west of downtown. It is much smaller in size and is famous for the St. Armands shopping and restaurant circle. Art, fine jewelry, designer clothes, and novelties are featured. The famous Columbia Restaurant is a landmark. Also, Lido Key is home to the famous Mote Marine Aquarium.

Between downtown and Lido Key is Bird Key. Bird Key is an exclusive high-end residential community. Waterways, canals and boating are a dream come true. The Sarasota Yacht Club is sailor's heaven.

To the South is the most popular and more casual, Siesta Key. It is a large key with upscale bay front residences and delightful canal homes for boaters. Siesta Key is famous for its Crescent Beach. The beach is five miles long and is recognized as the number one beach in the entire United States. It has the finest, cleanest and most dazzling white sand which consists of 99% pure quartz grains. Many luxury condos border the beach and gulf. On the northern part of Siesta Key is Siesta Key Village. Again, shops, restaurants, and night life welcome tourists along with the locals.

The most southern key in Sarasota County is Casey Key. It is long and narrow with a quiet conclave of secluded multi-million dollar gulf and bay front homes. A scenic drive on Casey Key is an unforgettable experience. This is truly a high priced paradise.

Also, in the southern part of Sarasota County is a large development called Palmer Ranch. Palmer Ranch consists of 14 separate gated communities with residential homes, condos and villas. One of the communities is Prestancia which is home to the famous Tournament

Players Golf course. Some of the other gated communities include Deer Creek, Turtle Rock and Silver Oak, which are all outstanding high scale residential areas. Just to the South is an elegant and sophisticated community called the Oaks Club.

Also, Sarasota boasts many golf course communities. There are eight private clubs and many semi-public and public courses. To the East is the Concession, developed by Jack Nicklaus, the Founders Club and Laurel Oaks. To the South are the Tournament Players Club of Prestancia and the Oaks Club.

Sarasota is fascinating, fun and is Heaven. It's like living in Paradise every day.

Clare Davies – The Artist’s Map of Tehran, 1956-1966

In the mid-twentieth century, the contours of artistic practice in Tehran were shifting dramatically as the city expanded to the north and new cultural institutions were built in the urban center. An ink drawing on butcher paper executed by Hossein Zenderoudi (b. 1937, Iran) in this period doubles as a rudimentary map of Tehran’s evolving artistic hub: an area that housed the College of Fine Arts (est. 1940), the College of Decorative Arts (est. 1960-61), and recently opened galleries of modern art. Nearby, but beyond the borders of Zenderoudi’s handmade map, lay southern Tehran and its famous bazaar: an area increasingly identified at the time with a religious and socially conservative merchant class, the production of traditional arts and crafts, and political opposition to the shah.

This talk explores how the evolving topography of Tehran and its navigation by artists shaped avant-garde practices of the late 50s and early 60s. I argue, specifically, that a new generation of artists identified themselves with political networks and public religious rites based in the historic city, even as official and artist-run spaces for the arts multiplied elsewhere.

Clare Davies is the Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She has contributed to a wide range of research, programming, and archival projects related to art and photography in the Middle East since serving as associate curator of the Townhouse Gallery in Cairo from 2004 to 2006. She is a graduate of the rhetoric department at U.C. Berkeley and completed her doctoral dissertation on Egyptian modern art at New York University's Institute of Fine Arts in 2014. She was subsequently awarded the inaugural Irmgard Coninx Prize Fellowship at the Forum Transregionale Studien, Berlin.

She is the co-author of Robert Morris, Object Sculpture: 1960–65 (Yale UP, 2014) and has published regularly on contemporary art from the Arab world. Since joining The Met, she has overseen the installation of Yto Barrada's Lyautey Unit Blocks (Play) (2010), curated Siah Armajani: Follow This Line, and organized a scholarly seminar on collecting art from the Middle East. Upcoming projects include Rayyane Tabet / Alien Property–a collaboration with the department of Ancient Near Eastern Art, as well as Spiritual Pop: Art in 60s Iran.

Fulong International Sand Sculpture Art (福隆國際沙雕藝術)

Fulong International Sand Sculpture Art (福隆國際沙雕藝術)

Taiwan is blessed with plenty of natural resources that can be used to draw visitors, such as the three kilometer-long golden beach between Yanliao and Fulong in the Northeast Coast. For its soft, highly cohesive white quartz sands, this beach is acknowledged by the World Sand Sculpting Association to be the best for making sand sculptures in Taiwan.

The Fulong International Sand Sculpting Art Festival is set to kick off April 19 in New Taipei City, drawing visitors from home and abroad to the golden beach on Taiwan’s northern coast.
 
Organized by the Northeast and Yilan Coast National Scenic Area Administration, the 12th edition of the annual exhibition runs through Aug. 25. A total of 25 sand sculpture artists from seven countries and territories have been invited to produce works around the theme Crossing the Town to Find Atlantis.
 
The event will be comprised of three exhibitions areas, each featuring pieces inspired by the mythical Greek city. The first focuses on the origin story of Atlantis—said to have been created by the sea god Poseidon—and features sand sculptures intended to make visitors feel like they are strolling through the legendary metropolis.
 
Themed around Atlantis’ embrace of technology and its ultimate fall, the second area will comprise artworks showcasing the co-existence of ancient and modern worlds. The final section consists of sculptures based on marine environments and wildlife, and aims to encourage visitors to cherish the natural world.

Fulong Beach is located adjacent to Fulong Village at the mouth of the Shuang River in Gongliao District of New Taipei City. Frequently visited by Taipei residents during the summer due to its easy access from the city, Fulong is one of the more popular beach destinations in northern Taiwan.

The sand on the beach is golden in colour, a rarity for Taiwan, attracting visitors from all over the island. Sand sculpture art festivals are held at the beginning of the summer every year.

The Shuang River divides the beach into two distinct areas connected by the Rainbow Bridge (彩虹橋). The outer portion is essentially an island whose size varies according to the flow of the river and the tide.

The Art and Literature of the Great War

David Gariff, senior lecturer, National Gallery of Art.

The First World War, known as the Great War, was also the first modern war, claiming millions of lives, in part, by newly invented weapons such as the machine gun, tank, aircraft, and poison gas. The arts of the period present a portrait of the terrible price paid by humanity—the carnage and suffering caused by the war were documented in paintings, sculptures, novels, memoirs, and poems produced both during, and immediately after, the struggle. In this presentation on March 27, 2019, senior lecturer David Gariff explores the responses of artists and writers to the trauma of the First World War, which transcended national boundaries. Paintings, sculptures, and prints by Otto Dix, Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Käthe Kollwitz, Fernand Léger, John Singer Sargent, and Natalija Goncharova; poems by Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, and Anna Akhmatova; and memoirs and novels by Ernest Hemingway, Erich Maria Remarque, and Robert Graves are discussed against the backdrop of “the war to end all wars.”

Rovaniemi: The Home of Father Christmas

Rovaniemi is the capital of Lapland, in Northern Finland, and it is placed just a smidge over the line of the Arctic Polar Circle. Unsurprisingly, the climate is positively freezing during the winter months. The average temperature recorded in February 2018 was 13 degrees Celsius below zero. In the Fahrenheit world, this is more or less Alaska.
