Download or read book Brooklyn's Central Library written by Library, Brooklyn Public and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brooklyn, New York, is home to the Brooklyn Public Library, the fifth-largest library system in the United States, with 60 neighborhood branches serving the 2.5 million residents of the borough. The Central Library—the main hub of this far-reaching institution—has, for 75 years, occupied a prime triangle of land at Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza. Originally proposed in 1888, the unique Art Deco building with an “open book” design was not completed until 53 years later in 1941. Since then, the library has seen millions of eager readers pass through its iconic gilded doorway. While the technologies of learning have changed dramatically in the years since the Central Library opened, the mission of the institution remains the same—to ensure the preservation and transmission of society’s knowledge, history, and culture, and to provide the people of Brooklyn with free and open access to information for education, recreation, and reference.
Book Synopsis Brooklyn Mirador by : Richard F. Kessler
Download or read book Brooklyn Mirador written by Richard F. Kessler and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updated July 2019. This 84-page book is the history of the beautiful view of the Empire State Building bisecting the Civil War memorial Arch in Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza. Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux ceded control of Central Park to their detractors and then designed their own park - the Brooklyn Park. Their first step was to create the Plaza in 1865 and define its axis aimed at exactly where the Empire State Building would be built 65 years later. “What artist so noble... directs the shadows of a picture so great that Nature shall be employed upon it it for generations, before the work he has arranged for her shall realize his intentions.” – Olmsted, 1852 This book contains 24 full page photos of the View and a section on the Concert Grove alignment, the Lincoln statue returning to Grand Army Plaza, and "Book Two of the Incomplete Collection" - 24 original drawings and paintings unrelated to the Mirador.

Book Synopsis Temporary Monuments by : Marie Warsh
Download or read book Temporary Monuments written by Marie Warsh and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosemary Mayer (1943-2014) was a prolific artist, writer, and critic, who entered the New York art scene in the late 1960s. By the early 1970s, she became known both for her large-scale fabric sculptures--inspired by the lives of historical women--and her involvement in the feminist art movement. As the decade progressed, Mayer gravitated away from sculpture as a fixed form and the gallery as the primary setting for experiencing art. In 1977, she began to create ephemeral outdoor installations using materials such as balloons, snow, paper, and fabric. Mayer called these projects "temporary monuments," and she intended for them to celebrate and memorialize individuals and communities through their connections to place, time, and nature. Temporary Monuments: Work by Rosemary Mayer, 1977--1982 is the first comprehensive presentation of this body of work and includes Mayer's documentation of these impermanent artworks. Mayer created photographs, writings, artists' books, and drawings that expand the realm of these projects and reflect her interest in exploring ideas through a variety of media. An introductory essay by Gillian Sneed situates Mayer within the New York art world of the 1970s and '80s and argues that Mayer's public art anticipated more recent practices of site-specific and socially engaged art.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Art in the Public Realm by : Cameron Cartiere
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Art in the Public Realm written by Cameron Cartiere and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multidisciplinary companion offers a comprehensive overview of the global arena of public art. It is organised around four distinct topics: activation, social justice, memory and identity, and ecology, with a final chapter mapping significant works of public and social practice art around the world between 2008 and 2018. The thematic approach brings into view similarities and differences in the recent globalisation of public art practices, while the multidisciplinary emphasis allows for a consideration of the complex outcomes and consequences of such practices, as they engage different disciplines and communities and affect a diversity of audiences beyond the existing 'art world'. The book will highlight an international selection of artist projects that illustrate the themes. This book will be of interest to scholars in contemporary art, art history, urban studies, and museum studies.
Book Synopsis Smashing Statues: The Rise and Fall of America's Public Monuments by : Erin L. Thompson
Download or read book Smashing Statues: The Rise and Fall of America's Public Monuments written by Erin L. Thompson and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading expert on the past, present, and future of public monuments in America. An urgent and fractious national debate over public monuments has erupted in America. Some people risk imprisonment to tear down long-ignored hunks of marble; others form armed patrols to defend them. Why do we care so much about statues? Which ones should stay up and which should come down? Who should make these decisions, and how? Erin L. Thompson, the country’s leading expert in the tangled aesthetic, legal, political, and social issues involved in such battles, brings much-needed clarity in Smashing Statues. She lays bare the turbulent history of American monuments and its abundant ironies, from the enslaved man who helped make the statue of Freedom that tops the United States Capitol, to the fervent Klansman fired from sculpting the world’s largest Confederate monument—who went on to carve Mount Rushmore. And she explores the surprising motivations behind contemporary flashpoints, including the toppling of a statue of Columbus at the Minnesota State Capitol, the question of who should be represented on the Women’s Rights Pioneers Monument in Central Park, and the decision by a museum of African American culture to display a Confederate monument removed from a public park. Written with great verve and informed by a keen sense of American history, Smashing Statues gives readers the context they need to consider the fundamental questions for rebuilding not only our public landscape but our nation as a whole: Whose voices must be heard, and whose pain must remain private?
