Week 3- Art And My Major

For this week's art activity we had to focus on an activity that went hand in hand with our major. In my case, I had to focus on how art and community health could correlate. As I was researching, I came across lots of murals and paintings that depicted community health and wellness but I wanted to do something different. This led me to realize that art does not have to be singular, regarding only drawing and painting, but instead I can focus on different structures of art.

Last semester I took an art class that revolved around focusing on art outside of the United States and I chose Mexico City. In my research, I came across an artist by the name of Pedro Reyes. He had an inspiring take on art. The piece or exhibition that he created was called "People's United Nation" or pUN for short. This artistic expression welcomed 193 regular citizens from their respected countries and throughout a few weekends, the delegates get to represent their countries in group activities. Essentially this event allows the delegates to speak on current or possible future issues that can occur in their country and in the groups the other delegates can help with coming up with solutions.

The art activity for this week can be either small and possible to complete in a week or large and takes more than a week to complete. So taking inspiration from Pedro Reyes's event, I would like to do something similar on a smaller scale but would take more than a week to accomplish. I have two possible scenarios, the first being an event where local schools decide on "student delegates" to represent their local communities. The second scenario is much larger in which the event would revolve around larger separate communities choosing local delegates, it could be local residents or someone in office, regardless of the scenario. The purpose would be to discuss the local disparities that affect the population of each respected community and come up with possible solutions. The difference would be that the school scenario would focus on the younger population and the community scenario would focus on the community as a whole. The event itself would only be one day.

This "activity" would take more than a week because of all the confirmation that must be met by multiple parties. Some approvals can take up to a month or longer to be confirmed. It would also require lots of resources such as a furnished venue to host the event, proposals to encourage discussion, willing delegates, approvals from parents and school boards if the first scenario is chosen, and information/data about each represented community so that accurate information will be discussed...etc. The research must be done to provide accurate proposals and information, meaning we would have to look into each community thoroughly. This art excursion would need many approvals and confirmation so depending on which scenario we would have to speak with multiple parties whether with the school district or the board of directors of a community. Because of the scale of this project, we would have problems in actually pulling it off. Getting willing delegates and approvals/ permission would also be an issue. Having inaccurate information/ misinformation could also hinder the reason for this event. To gauge the effectiveness of the event, a possible method would be pre/post tests of a community sample and see if there is a change from the solutions provided in the event if any. Time is a big issue here because the post-tests would have to be given at a proper time when enough time has passed to implement the solutions.

Overall, I believe that art and my major have a positive overlap. Not only by encouraging murals but also by possible events to discuss issues with communities and provide solutions for such issues. Together, my major and art can have a positive impact on a communities health and wellness by depicting positivity, support, and community encouragement.

CIRCUS SARASOTA 2023: 25 anni di successi

CIRCUS SARASOTA 2023: 25 anni di successi Circus Sarasota è lo spettacolo che ogni anno Dolly Jacobs e Pedro Reyes e la Circus Arts Conservatory realizzano, appunto, a Sarasota, città della Florida famosa per essere la capitale mondiale del circo fin dal lontano 1920 quando la famiglia Ringling realizzò qui il proprio quartier invernale.

Ogni anno i due coniugi mettono in scena uno spettacolo di respiro internazionale, con artisti provenienti dai principali circhi e Festival del mondo, uno su tutti dal Festival International du Cirque de Monte-Carlo. Quest'anno lo show ha raggiunto il ragguardevole traguardo dei 25 anni. Auguri Circus Sarasota.

Per festeggiare l'importante traguardo è stato approntato uno spettacolo all'altezza, in scena dal 10 febbraio al 05 marzo 2023. Tra gli altri artisti sono in pista Alan Silva con i tessuti aerei (visto domenica sera a Lo Show dei Records su canale 5), Oleg Izossimov e il nostro amico Wesley Williams con il suo incredibile e pluripremiato numero al monociclo.

Circus Arts Conservatory si è unito a numerosi altri membri della Global Alliance of Circus Schools per sostenere gli artisti circensi dall'Ucraina sponsorizzando visti e offrendo posti di lavoro in modo che possano lavorare anche mentre il loro paese è in guerra con la Russia. I nativi di Sarasota che torneranno al Circus Sarasota 2023 includono Joseph Bauer Jr. come direttore di circo e Sylvia Zerbini con la sua cavalleria in libertà. Altri atti includeranno numeri di diabolo (giocoleria), verticalisti, filo teso, tessuti aerei, monociclo (a tre piani) e molto altro.

Life Is Brutal The Mexico City home of artist Pedro Reyes and fashion designer Carla Fernández is a continually adapting architectural project. Coarse concrete walls divide the sprawling space into discrete sections that, over the years, has evolved to meet both the demands of a working atelier and comfort of a family home. The daunting brutalism of the space is offset by Fernández’s vibrant textiles and Reyes’ sculptural work. A larger than life-sized sculpture of Vladimir Lenin’s head lies in repose, a wooden ‘hand chair’ with articulating fingers sits in the corner, and shovels cast from melted down weapons hang on a wall. Moving from the man-made to the natural, the master bathroom resembles an ancient geological site with its carved volcanic stone basin and roughly-hewn rockpool bathtub. Around the home light-wells of brilliant yellow interrupts the grey of the concrete, while large cacti and palms beckon a sense of the outdoors. Their Coyoacán home is more than just a living space but a reflection of their commitment to working with the community. Most of the cement work was completed in-house by local craftspeople and the workshop is continually awash with neighbourhood artisans working on Reyes’ new sculptural projects. Reyes’s opus extends far beyond material arts and sculptures - most notably his People’s United Nations (stylised as “pUN”) invited 193 volunteers to find resolutions to geopolitical conflicts using psychology and theatre. Meanwhile, Fernández’s eponymous fashion label works alongside indigenous communities in order to promote traditional weaving techniques and patterns to global audiences. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #coyoacán #mexicocity #architecture #brutalist #textiles #sculpture #rockpoolbathtub #liveworkspace #localcraftspeople #indigenouscommunities #tradition #workshop #artisans #pUN #home #pedroreyes #carlafernández (at Mexico City, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CenjRXNoOdj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Life Is Brutal “It’s a social space. We are always welcoming guests or hosting the artisans on our teams. It’s a little like living in a factory - but also a playground, too.” - Pedro Reyes, Artist. A house made of concrete may seem an odd choice for a family of four. But for Pedro Reyes, Carla Fernández and their two young children, there are few spaces sweeter than their sprawling Brutalist abode. More than just a living space, the house serves as creative headquarters for both Pedro, a renowned sculptor, and Carla, a fashion designer whose cutting-edge garments have found an eager audience worldwide. For the couple, who share a fierce passion for the preservation of Mexican culture, it’s also the physical embodiment of a long-standing mission to draw attention to the country’s vibrant artistic history and traditions. Strategically placed hits of lemon yellow and magenta are a tribute to Mexican architect Luis Barragán and a number of the walls are built of cement bricks handmade in-house by community craftsmen. It’s also something of an exhibition space, housing a diverse collection of Pedro’s furniture and sculptural work, Carla’s textiles and a vast array of books. On top of it all, however, the home is a gathering place, host to a revolving door of visiting friends, family and local artists, many of whom take up temporary residence while working with the couple on their many collaborative endeavours. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #coyoacán #mexicocity #architecture #brutalist #textiles #sculpture #rockpoolbathtub #liveworkspace #localcraftspeople #indigenouscommunities #tradition #workshop #artisans #pUN #home #pedroreyes #carlafernández (at Mexico City, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceni_xJI_Uy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
