<br />
<br />
The background and layout elements makes site-wide design changes easy to make. Backgrounds could be changed semi-annually, with additional major artists listed on the left side, added to when international exhibits take place.<br />
<br />
The top feature list can also be changed, without difficulty in looking consistent. All together, this website is designed with the intent of making life easier for Siteprojects.Org -- Thanks for checking this out.Ian Applegatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02599822293177457112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644421734287451712.post-18599203603510079402011-09-26T10:35:00.000-07:002011-09-26T10:42:53.710-07:00Videos<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[<a href="http://siteprojects.blogspot.com/2010/12/vogrincic-07.html">info</a>] [<a href="http://siteprojects.blogspot.com/2011/09/biography.html">artist bio</a>] [<a href="http://siteprojects.blogspot.com/2011/09/sponsors.html">sponsors</a>] [<a href="http://siteprojects.blogspot.com/2011/09/essays.html">commentary</a>] [<a href="http://siteprojects.blogspot.com/2011/09/videos.html">videos</a>] [<a href="http://siteprojects.org/vogrincic/gallery.html">gallery</a>]</span><br />

William Brown, Eli Whitney Museum</a></strong></div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Imagine you are talking to your grandfather about the year when he was your age. Ask him: when you think of New Haven back then, what image comes into your mind? Very likely he will say: <em>I see the bright red steel box of an A.C. Gilbert Erector Set. I see nuts and bolts and girders; I see an electric motor and magnet</em>.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">That box was a treasure chest. It was the most famous building toy in the world. All the years that America built its great bridges, and railroads, and skyscrapers, Erector Sets taught young engineers to build and dream. And New Haven built Erector Sets.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">The Erector Set was invented by A.C. Gilbert, who came to New Haven in 1904 from all the way across America to study medicine at Yale, to star as an athlete, and to perform magic for audiences in local vaudeville theaters, where before television, movies and radio, people were entertained with music and magic shows. Gilbert loved to perform. He also designed and sold magic tricks and he did it with such success that he never got round to practicing medicine.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">One day in 1913 when Gilbert was traveling to his Magic store in New York City on the New Haven Railroad he saw construction everywhere. Electric towers along the tracks would allow new trains to travel underground to a Grand Central Station without the hazardous smoke of the old steam locomotives. Gilbert realized that those steel lattices, girders and the electricity they carried would change everything, and that they could also be made to work on any scale. The result was the miniature construction empire in a box that would make New Haven famous.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Gilbert’s factory and fame grew quickly. He was a gifted salesman. He promised parents that his construction sets were an investment in their child’s future. In 1920, when it became possible to speak on radio waves, he built Connecticut’s first broadcast station and pioneered a whole new way to talk to his customers. His radio tower was a landmark for his Fair Haven factory and for New Haven.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><em>Why is this memory so powerful</em>? An Erector Set was the king of toys when no one had many toys. At it peak, 3000 people worked in Gilbert’s Fair Haven factory. They were proud to be producing an icon of invention. But most important, Gilbert built a powerful message into the parts and tools he shipped round the world. Each Erector Set said: <em>I believe you can teach yourself to solve any problem</em>. It was a message, broadcast from New Haven, that inspired three generations.</div><span class="caption" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 14px;"><strong>William Brown</strong> is Director of the Eli Whitney Museum in Hamden, CT and a noted A.C.

New Haven Museum and Historical Society</a></strong></div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">A canal is a man-made waterway used primarily as a passage for boats and ships where there were no navigable rivers. Canals have been used since ancient times but only grew popular in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the New World as people began moving inland, it was important to find new ways to ship food and wood out of rural areas into the cities, and ship much-needed supplies back.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">In the 1820s people felt that New Haven, with its busy harbor, should have a canal to connect it to towns further inland. Many New Haven residents were excited about the prospect of linking New Haven to Massachusetts with the canal to be named for the source of its water, the Farmington River. As with highway construction today, the excitement wasn't shared by everyone, but the project began in 1822.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">The biggest problem facing the builders of the canal was getting the money to pay for it, which took over 2 years. Finally, on the 4th of July, 1825, a ground breaking ceremony was held in Salmon Brook, Connecticut, and the work got under way. </div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Canal construction in America faced many problems. The first canal builders in America were amateurs, and they made many mistakes. The Farmington Canal was also not built by one company, but was contracted out to local companies, each working on separate sections. These companies usually hired family and friends to do the digging, but when this didn’t supply them with enough workers, they hired free African Americans and Irish immigrants.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"> In 1825, without mechanical equipment, digging the canal was very hard work. Laborers used axes, shovels and wheelbarrows to move the trees and dirt. They worked all day long, for a dollar a day, and then walked home.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">The canal was opened in 1828 but it was not a financial success. The money collected from tolls and other fees was barely enough to pay for its maintenance. However, not long after the canal was built, railroad companies began looking for a place to lay railroad tracks and the canal pathway was an attractive possibility. In 1846, speculators got permission to replace the canal with a railway line. Trains ran along the old canal path from 1848 until the twentieth century, when the path was converted into trails for public use.</div><div class="caption" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 14px;"><strong>Amy Trout</strong> is Curator of the New Haven Museum and Historical Society (where she curated the 1995 exhibit on the Farmington Canal), and is the author of <em>The Story of the Farmington Canal </em>(The New Haven Colony & Historical Society, 1995).

Plattus, Professor of Architecture, Yale University</strong></div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">At more than 350 years old and counting – not to mention its history before European settlement – the city of New Haven is old by North American standards and exceptionally rich in layers of physical history.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">In the center of New Haven there is the strong and clear pattern of the nine-square grid of streets laid down in 1638 by its founders -- inspired by the Bible and descriptions of the geometrically ordered Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. This regular grid provides a framework against which earlier and later features can be read. Among the more dramatic of those later features is the bold diagonal gash across the eastern corner of the nine squares: the path of the Farmington Canal. The Canal originally terminated in the Canal Basin in New Haven's harbor. From there it ran north over 80 miles to join the Connecticut River at Northampton, Massachusetts. Like the old turnpikes connecting the city to neighboring settlements, the Canal was part of a radial system spreading out from the tightly ordered center and reaching into the surrounding countryside.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Laid out in 1825 as an ambitious effort to re-situate New Haven economically and geographically, the Farmington Canal functioned as an active means of water-based transport for barely twenty years, but it has had a long and fascinating afterlife -- converted first to an important rail corridor, then largely abandoned and most recently, as a piece of a growing network of local, regional and national trails that may eventually connect the entire east coast for bicyclists and pedestrians.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">And yet, even today its obvious links to the past are still fascinating. It’s an excavation into New Haven’s history. While there is little along its route dating to the1820’s, it provides a vantage point on the changing city and reveals traces of almost every subsequent era of New Haven history, as well as a good deal of environmental history. The portion of the old canal corridor in the heart of New Haven, between Prospect and State Streets, is literally an archaeological excavation. At the Whitney Avenue crossing one looks up to the old McLagon Foundry building, from the 1870’s, a reminder of how the Canal and the subsequent railway were a conduit for industrial development from the center of the city to the sprawling Winchester Repeating Arms factory (now Science Park) in Newhallville. And at Grove Street one can see a veritable cross-section of historic masonry buttressing the walls of the corridor.</div><span class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">In its new role as a piece of recycled industrial history the canal returns in certain respects to its origins. Much as it played its role in the rise of urban areas as industrial centers served by canals and railroads, it is now a harbinger of a new age for New Haven and American cities as social, cultural and recreational centers. In this city the canal corridor continues to derive its meaning from its unique difference –its difference of level, of orientation, of scale and of pace – raising questions and continuing possibilities for exploration and discovery.</span><br />

Professor Douglas Rae, Yale University School of Management</a></strong></div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">In 1800, when the U.S.A. was still a teen-aged nation, shipping things like food and lumber was slow and costly. For example, shipping the oats for your morning porridge took as long and cost as much as it had when people like Julius Caesar or Queen Boadicea were impatiently waiting to eat breakfast. This meant that almost everything people used—the things they ate, wore, or built with-- had to be produced within about 20 miles of their homes. Only things that were small and very high priced, like jewelry, spices, or coins could be transported over long distances at costs that made sense – and even then the prices of such things made sense only to the rich.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">When the Farmington Canal was completed, it became possible to ship heavy items to New Haven cheaper and faster than had been possible before. By 1830, four million pounds of goods were shipped between New Haven and Northampton, Massachusetts, and the 75-mile trip could be covered in just one day. It was one of a number of canals constructed to improve America’s links to its developing interior, like the much larger Erie Canal, from Albany to Buffalo in New York State, which in 1825 connected the east coast to farm country in places like Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Breakfast got better and cheaper because the ingredients were produced in the right places.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">But the canals were just a temporary fix. Railroad trains were being pioneered even before the Farmington and Erie canals were dug, and their roll-out in the 1840s was the real revolution. For the first time ever in human history, you could ship breakfast at 50 miles an hour – faster than five times the speed of any canal boat. Heavy and bulky things – corn, oats, lumber, sugar cane, steel bars – could travel from Chicago to New Haven in just a day or so, and could do it cheaply.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">However, these canals were obsolete just two decades after they were built. By 1847, the Farmington Canal was drained. Wooden ties and steel rails were laid down and in 1848, the New Haven & Northampton Railroad was up and running along the canal pathway. Even more important, the New York and New Haven Railroad started business the same year, and once New Haven was connected to New York, it was connected to the world!</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Smart people made it a center for the manufacture of many of the things the world wanted most. For example, by the 1850s Chauncey Jerome was making the world's best cheap clocks and shipping them all over the USA and even to Europe and Asia. Winchester was making the best rifles in the world and shipping them to the four corners of the globe.</div><span class="caption" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 14px;"><strong>Douglas W.

<div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><strong style="font-size: 12px;">Matej Andraz Vogrincic</strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(b. October 12, 1970, Ljubljana, Slovenia) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">has been creating site-specific work in urban and natural environments since the early 1990s. He has built an international reputation by creating installations specific to local places, traditions, and histories – filling the most ordinary or neglected places with even more ordinary objects. With all his work, Vogrincic starts with the space but always leaves room to alter and develop the idea in the process. He regularly relies upon a direct connection with the local community to help him create his projects, including clothing and toy car donations. </span></div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><br />
<br />
</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><br />
Vogrincic first “dressed” a dilapidated house with donated clothing in his hometown and then presented a similar project at the Venice Biennale in 1999. He created the project “Car Park: Members Only” – a wall installation consisting of 15,000 toy cars placed on a wall of a building in Australia’s Adelaide in response to the city’s traffic and parking problems and continued to the Australian outback, where he put up a watering can installation, consisting of some 2,000 plaster watering cans arranged over the area of a football field in a region largely devoid of rain. As part of the 2003 Awesome Festival in Australia’s Perth, he filled up an area of 7,000 square meters with 10,000 balloons of red, orange, blue, pink, green and yellow colors. He filled the atrium of the former Melbourne GPO with 1000 umbrellas in 2005. His most recent exhibition, commissioned for the 4th Liverpool Biennial in England and featured in <em>The Guardian</em> newspaper and <em>LIFE</em> magazine, was an installation of 56 upturned boats placed inside the bombed ruins of the Gothic Era St. Luke’s Church.</div><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">Felice Varini was born in Locarno, Switzerland in 1952 and currently lives and works in Paris, France.</div></div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">He defines himself as an abstract painter, and paints on architectural and urban spaces, such as buildings, walls and streets. The paintings are characterized by one vantage point from which the viewer can see the complete painting (usually simple geometric shapes such as circles, squares, lines), while from other view points the viewer will see ‘broken’ fragmented shapes. Varini explains that the work exists as a whole - with its complete shape as well as the fragments: “My paintings initially appear to the observer in the form of a deconstructed line which recalls nothing known or familiar, whence the effect of perturbation they produce. As one moves through the work, the line progressively appears in its composed form. One is thus under the illusion that the work is creating itself before one’s eyes.”</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Varini’s work plays with concepts of scale, proportion, and perception. While abstract and conceptual, Varini’s three-dimensional wall paintings are also concrete and material. The viewer experiences them from within; as he/she moves through the architectural space which is the canvas, new discoveries are made at every step. Before making a painting, Felice Varini generally roams through the space noting its architecture, materials, history and function. From this spatial data and in reference to the last piece he produced, he designates a specific vantage point for viewing, from which his intervention takes shape.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">The vantage point is carefully chosen: it is generally situated at his eye level and located preferably along a well-traveled route, for instance an opening between one room and another, or a clearing, or a landing... He then projects the form devised for the particular space onto its surfaces from the vantage point, then traces and paints.</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Varini tends to use simple geometric forms: squares, triangles, ellipses, circles, rectangles, and lines. These forms are usually created in one of the three primary colors: red, blue or yellow, occasionally employing some secondary colors, as well as in black and white. He justifies his choice of simple geometric shapes and basic colors by saying “If you draw a circle on a flat canvas it will always look the same. The drawn circle will retain the flatness of the canvas. This kind of working is very limiting to me, so I project a circle onto spaces, onto walls or mountain sides, and then the circle’s shape is altered naturally because the ‘canvas’ is not flat. A mountain side has curves that affect the circle, and change the circle’s geometry. So, I do not need to portray complicated forms in my paintings. I can just use the simplicity of forms, because the reality out there distorts forms in any case, and creates variations on its own accord. The same goes for colors. Usually I use one color only, and the space takes care of altering the color’s hue. For example, if I use one type of red on a mountain side, the result is many kinds of red, depending on the mountain’s surface and the light conditions. Sunlight will affect the different areas on the surface and the same red color may become stronger or darker or clearer in certain areas, depending on how the sun rays hit the surface. The sky can be bright or dark. And if the surface has its own color or a few colors then that will affect the red that I apply on it. So, I do not need to use sophisticated colors. The reality exists with its own qualities, shapes, colors and light conditions. What I do is simply add another shape and color in response to that.”</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Unlike the majority of artists, who work within strictly defined limits, Varini uses every dimension. By creating work that is not portable and cannot easily be contained, he sidesteps the temptation to make a cult object of the artwork. For him the “art object” has become a rearguard concept. Indeed he has neither a collection to sell, nor paintings to store. “I’m entirely free from material and logistical constraints. Like a musician performing on stage, I ask for a fee from whoever is commissioning the work, whether a gallery, a collector, a town council or an arts centre. This does not prevent my works from being sold on. Once I make a work it can be removed and remade in a different place, as long as certain guidance is followed. I write a description for each work, describing its specifications, and you can remake it in another space if you follow the exact instructions for the shapes, sizes, relation to each other, and relation to the space. The new space needs to have similar characteristics to the original one. The result will not be a new work, but rather a remake of the same work. I do not make an object and move it, but I move the concept, and can remake it in the new space, in the same way that there is a written play and a theatre company can stage it in a few different theatres.”</div><div class="copy" style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.poeticmind.co.uk/2_Questions/Interview_Felice_Varini.shtm" style="text-decoration: none;">http://www.poeticmind.co.uk/2_Questions/Interview_Felice_Varini.shtm</a><br />

Chasing Rainbows New Haven, Site Projects 2004, consists of sixty tubes, each eight feet in length, containing thousands of full-color light emitting diodes (LEDs), which are capable of producing over sixteen million color combinations. Each light is programmed by the artist to respond to a simple set of rules. For example, a light will move right across the grid until it encounters another illuminated LED, at which time it will blink.<br />
<br />
Inspired by mathematician John Conway's Game of Life and using the principles of cellular automata (a field of mathematical research involving systems in which grid cells evolve in relation to neighboring cells), Villareal has produced a complex system where the LEDs take on a life of their own, creating a kinetic rainbow made up of base sequences that are triggered in a random order and continue for varied lengths of time.<br />

Leo Villareal is a pioneering visual artist who works in a number of<br />
different media, most of which are outgrowths of his ongoing research<br />
in advanced computer programming. A Yale alumnus and graduate of New<br />
York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program at the Tisch<br />
School of the Arts, Villareal uses light, new technology and<br />
sophisticated computer programming to create indoor and outdoor pieces<br />
that mesmerize and absorb the viewer. Born in Albuquerque, NM, he<br />
currently lives and works in New York City. http://www.villareal.net<br />
