"...Sanborn maps were published between the 1870s and 1950s so local insurance agents could assess the risk of fire breaking out on a client's premises. They outline each building, including the type of heating, size and number of stories, the location of windows and doors, and similar structural features. Through color coding, they even show the composition of building materials. They also document the strength of the local fire department and the presence of hazards such as blacksmith forges, bakeries or stored kerosene, and the existence of firefighting equipment, cisterns or community water works. They also note streets, rivers, canals, railroad corridors and other topographic features. Most Sanborn maps focus on downtowns, but some include large portions of residential areas. Individual homes are recorded with the same precision as large factories."Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11874899047489036037noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14239108.post-13029189927833238442013-11-07T12:43:00.001-06:002013-11-07T12:43:49.979-06:00Stan VanDerBeek<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4evgucIk6ZY/UnvedfhFyqI/AAAAAAAAB4s/CPKgIs2RKgU/s1600/stan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4evgucIk6ZY/UnvedfhFyqI/AAAAAAAAB4s/CPKgIs2RKgU/s1600/stan.jpg" /></a></div>
<a href="http://www.stanvanderbeek.com/">Stan VanDerBeek</a>. "...A pioneer in the development of experimental film and live-action animation techniques, Stan VanDerBeek achieved widespread recognition in the American avant-garde cinema. An advocate of the application of a utopian fusion of art and technology, he began making films in 1955. In the 1960s, he produced theatrical, multimedia pieces and computer animation, often working in collaboration with Bell Telephone Laboratories. In the 1970s, he constructed a 'Movie Drome' in Stony Point, New York, which was an audiovisual laboratory for the projection of film, dance, magic theater, sound and other visual effects. His multimedia experiments included movie murals, projection systems, planetarium events and the exploration of early computer graphics and image-processing systems."Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11874899047489036037noreply@blogger.com61tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14239108.post-30170220783064270292013-10-25T13:13:00.002-05:002013-10-25T13:13:27.662-05:00KyleHappy Birthday to my son Kyle - 16 years old today.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11874899047489036037noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14239108.post-4018785684481569162013-10-22T13:22:00.003-05:002013-10-22T13:22:56.860-05:00Sheila by Tommy Roe<object width="250" height="40" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="gsSong2841736383" name="gsSong2841736383"><param name="movie" value="http://grooveshark.com/songWidget.swf" /><param name="wmode" value="window" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="flashvars" value="hostname=grooveshark.com&songID=28417363&style=metal&p=0" /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://grooveshark.com/songWidget.swf" width="250" height="40"><param name="wmode" value="window" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="flashvars" value="hostname=grooveshark.com&songID=28417363&style=metal&p=0" /><span><a href="http://grooveshark.com/search/song?q=Tommy%20Roe%20Sheila" title="Sheila by Tommy Roe on Grooveshark">Sheila by Tommy Roe on Grooveshark</a></span></object></object>Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11874899047489036037noreply@blogger.com60tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14239108.post-38063729118239940592013-10-22T13:19:00.001-05:002013-10-22T13:19:26.635-05:00William S.

And that is what we have here: not Burroughs' own releases, but his various miscellaneous appearances on other bands' songs. Having Burroughs perform your music gave you instant hip cred, and gave a Bill a paycheck. He was a rock star to rock stars. William S.

"...Originally trained as a painter in the studio of the Cubist artist and sculptor André Lhote, Henri Cartier-Bresson turned to photography out of frustration with his early painting. Inspired by his interaction with young members of the Surrealist movement, Cartier-Bresson recognized photography’s ability to 'trap life' instantly. When he was twenty-four, Cartier-Bresson acquired a hand-held Leica camera, which would accompany him for the rest of his career. The Leica became an “extension of his eye” and enabled the artist to combat the 'formal and unnatural behavior' of those who were aware of being photographed. Cartier-Bresson fully embraced the freedom and anonymity that this small camera gave him."

"...Kennedy’s images capture the two artists and their soon-to-be iconic works at the birth of their careers and the birth of the Pop Art movement. The young artists are portrayed as both playful and serious, and even prescient of their future fame. Kennedy produced one of the few images of Warhol and Indiana together. He captured Indiana in his studio with his first LOVE painting. Kennedy’s photographs of Warhol are unique in their portrayal of the artist interacting with his paintings in a year that he produced more masterpieces than any other year: Marilyn, Liz, Jackie, Most Wanted, Elvis, Race Riot, Early Self, and Flowers, to name a few. It was Warhol’s second year making films, the year of Blow Job, Empire, Eat (starring Indiana) and the first Screen Tests. Kennedy’s insight was to reveal Warhol and Indiana in performance with their signature artworks."Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11874899047489036037noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14239108.post-51425243731674552832013-09-27T13:31:00.000-05:002013-09-27T13:31:47.668-05:00Excerpt from Eisenstein's October - Ten Days That Shook the World<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/3244529" width="420" height="315" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/3244529">Excerpt from Eisenstein's October - Ten Days That Shook the World (soundtrack Godspeed You!

"...In 1964, still living the dream of their recently gained independence, Zambia started a space program that would put the first African on the moon catching up the US and the Soviet Union in the space race. Only a few optimists supported the project by Edward Makuka, a schoolteacher in charge of presenting the ambitious program and getting the necessary funding. But the financial aid never came, as the United Nations declined their support and one of the astronauts, a 16-year-old girl, became pregnant and had to quit. This is how the heroic initiative turned into a curious episode in African history, surrounded by wars, violence, droughts and hunger."Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11874899047489036037noreply@blogger.com58tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14239108.post-86581266175378747802013-09-18T13:43:00.000-05:002013-09-18T13:43:00.582-05:00George Tice: 60 years of Photography<a href="http://www.nailyaalexandergallery.com/exhibition/60-years-of-photography">George Tice: 60 years of Photography</a> at Nailya Alexander Gallery.

"...Josef Breitenbach created a unique visual vocabulary by incorporating both traditional and experimental processes within a variety of genres throughout his career. Raised with a profound respect for the history of art and culture, he worked with a conscious understanding and appreciation for many different styles of artistic expression, including Modernism, Surrealism and even Pictorialism. Breitenbach explored form and abstraction as well as the sensual and psychological side of his subjects. His photographs exist as aesthetic objects that are also artifacts of a highly innovative period of our history."Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11874899047489036037noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14239108.post-16147734752751071582013-08-29T13:17:00.004-05:002013-08-29T13:17:55.143-05:00Rising Waters: Photographs of Hurricane Sandy<a href="http://www.icp.org/museum/exhibitions/rising-waters">Rising Waters: Photographs of Hurricane Sandy</a> at the ICP.

These portraits, though, can be enigmatic, showing recognized faces but only hinting at complex personalities and the quixotic flow of fortune and tragedy. An effort has been made to exhibit images that are not well known (and some have, in fact, never been printed or publicly shown), in a bid to add something unexpected to what is otherwise familiar."Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11874899047489036037noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14239108.post-62619394692933947522013-08-28T13:34:00.004-05:002013-08-28T13:34:57.221-05:00L'Étoile de Mer<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/V7PQvkYYikU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

"...Leonard's most enduring pursuit was quintessentially American: jazz. He established a studio in the heart of Greenwich Village in 1949, and with his passion for the music and kind respect for those he photographed, he was accorded an unprecedented inside view of the New York jazz scene. Making use of techniques like backlighting, strobe lighting, and smoke, his photos dissolve the space between subject and lens, ensconcing the viewer in ambient gradations of shadow and light. Within his illuminated figures, Leonard exacts moments of delicate detail—an upturned lip and crinkled eye, the glint of a spotlight on a microphone—to grasp energy and emotion. Off-kilter framing accentuates the here-and-now feeling of the photographs: it's as if we've been dropped into the scene, hiding in the hazy dark at the base of the microphone or blasted with the trumpet's effervescent air."Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11874899047489036037noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14239108.post-61682905428504003952013-08-23T13:36:00.000-05:002013-08-23T13:36:41.332-05:00Snap Noir: Snapshot Stories From the Collection of Robert E.

"...Von Trier began making films at the age of eleven. Von Trier suffers periodically from depression, as well as various fears and phobias, including an intense fear of flying. As he quipped in an interview, 'basically, I'm afraid of everything in life, except filmmaking.' His first publicly released film was an experimental short called The Orchid Gardener (1977) and his first feature film came seven years later with The Element of Crime (1984). Among many prizes, awards and nominations, he is the recipient of the Palme d'Or (for Dancer in the Dark), the Grand Prix, and the Prix du Jury at the Cannes Film Festival."Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11874899047489036037noreply@blogger.com0
