The Heart Of Light: Rights, Justice, And Representations Of History And Conflict In The Congo, Nion T. Mcevoy Jr. Jan 2012

The Heart Of Light: Rights, Justice, And Representations Of History And Conflict In The Congo, Nion T. Mcevoy Jr.

Senior Projects Spring 2012

In this paper I explore different representation of history and conflict in the Congo, through the lens of the Kony 2012 video released by Invisible Children. I look at the means and ends of representations, and what they tell us about rights, and justice.


Spillways And Sideways, Malin Mcwalters Jan 2012

Spillways And Sideways, Malin Mcwalters

Senior Projects Spring 2012

Hurricane Irene arrived in New York on August 28, 2011. The greater metropolitan area and much of the Hudson Valley was spared any major damage and within hours the storm had become yet another over-hyped natural disaster. While most people were storing away their AA batteries and emergency radios, small pockets of riverside towns in the Catskills were evacuated to higher ground as the Hudson’s small tributaries flooded their banks.

The damage that Hurricane Irene caused was mostly invisible and quickly forgotten. My attempt to document the development of the Town of Shokan in the wake of disaster began as …


Silhouettes, Curtis Wallen Jan 2012

Silhouettes, Curtis Wallen

Senior Projects Spring 2012

Silhouettes

Silhouettes began as an experiment in reduction. I was looking to capture emptiness; to photograph nothing. However, it was important to work within the confines of the program of the camera. I didn’t want to cheat the apparatus, and end up with something not quite photography. I wanted to meet “straight photography” on its own terms, which got me thinking about the function of a photograph.

Photography has long served as a medium for documentation. From its genesis to today, it has been used to a breadth of ends as a creator of records. One particularly interesting case is …


The Environmental And Cultural Effects On The Conquest Of Mexico, Tristan Siegel Jan 2012

The Environmental And Cultural Effects On The Conquest Of Mexico, Tristan Siegel

Senior Projects Spring 2012

In this work I examine the environment and cultural attitudes of Mesoamericans, specifically the Mexica (Atzec), and how these factors played a role in the Conquest of Mexico by Hernan Cortes. I begin by examining Mesoamerican agriculture, lithic technology, and metallurgy. I conclude by examining how these factors played out in the Conquest.


Running Barefoot, Benjamin Marx Jan 2012

Running Barefoot, Benjamin Marx

Senior Projects Spring 2012

I have been required by the registrar to submit an artist statement, and to be honest I do not know what I am supposed to say. If I am expected to explain a deep profound message about my music, I have none. And if I should to discuss the pieces in my concert, I would rather leave it up to the audience to figure out what the pieces mean to them. Now I am only on the cusp of my musical exploration. I have just this year glimpsed the vast world of music and begun to understand its endlessness. While …

Vanishing Footprints: Place And Man’S Struggle For Endurance In The Works Of Thomas Wolfe, Tongucnaz Seleme Basturk Jan 2012

Vanishing Footprints: Place And Man’S Struggle For Endurance In The Works Of Thomas Wolfe, Tongucnaz Seleme Basturk

Senior Projects Spring 2012

Novelist Thomas Wolfe sought to develop a new tradition of writing which would faithfully capture the experience of Americans. His vivid portrayals of man in various places demonstrate the inherent dignity of man’s struggles as he strives to understand his position in his world. Through his aesthetic choices, Wolfe captured how man’s identity consists of the entirety of his experiences. His dedicated rendering—and inclusion—of seemingly inconsequential details exhibits the worth which these particulars—and the history associated with them – hold in the lives of the men who come into contact with them. This project seeks to explore Thomas Wolfe’s depictions …

Part I: Choreography "Helen" And "Family Photo" Part Ii: Movement And Story: An Exploration Through The Discourse Of Dance, Zia A. Morter Jan 2012

Part I: Choreography "Helen" And "Family Photo" Part Ii: Movement And Story: An Exploration Through The Discourse Of Dance, Zia A. Morter

Senior Projects Spring 2012

Artist Statement:

My choreographic work is stimulated by a mental image that comes to me through research and observation of dance and other art forms. Once I have an image in my head then I realize the image by doing picture research. My image inspires a concept and characters that fit into the piece. I always plant my original image somewhere in the ending product of my dance.

I choreograph by casting my dancers as characters. I use these characters to explore the essential relationships between people and the essential struggles we face as individuals. Creating personality based dances enables …


I'M Here..., Jocelyn Edwards Jan 2012

I'M Here..., Jocelyn Edwards

Senior Projects Spring 2012

This is a collection of things from my life in the past year. Some of them are things that I saw and some one them are things that I felt. Some images, like “Rachel under the bed” were in my head for months before I decided to finally paint them. Other paintings are just historical documents of beautiful things that I have seen.

This past year, I lived in a large old house. This house was the subject of a majority of these paintings. I find its spaces sad and hollow. Houses make me lonely. This house especially makes me …

This Must Be The Place: A Return To The Borscht Belt, Ezra Glenn Jan 2012

This Must Be The Place: A Return To The Borscht Belt, Ezra Glenn

Senior Projects Spring 2012

This Must Be the Place: a Return to the Borscht Belt

The Borscht Belt is a region in and around the Catskill Mountains, primarily in Sullivan and Ulster counties, which was once home to over 1,100 resorts, country clubs, golf courses, hotels, and bungalow colonies.

Shortly after the beginning of the 20th century, the first waves of Jewish immigrants arrived from Eastern Europe to New York City in droves. Small Jewish farming colonies that had sprung up in the mid-19th century began opening their doors to vacationers from the city as makeshift boarding houses, in order to supplement …

Laughter At Auschwitz: George Tabori’S “Theater Der Peinlichkeit” And “Vergangenheitsbewältigung” In Post-War Germany, Leonie F. Bell Jan 2012

Laughter At Auschwitz: George Tabori’S “Theater Der Peinlichkeit” And “Vergangenheitsbewältigung” In Post-War Germany, Leonie F. Bell

Senior Projects Spring 2012

For his premiere of The Cannibals at the Berliner Schiller Theater in December of 1969, George Tabori had an escape car waiting just in case the German audience reacted poorly to his play. Not only was he bringing the first Holocaust play set at a concentration camp to the German stage, but it was extremely comedic in nature. Tabori’s Holocaust play was funny. This had never been done before, especially not by a Hungarian Jew who had lost most of his family in the Holocaust. No one knew how the German audience, especially the non-Jewish audience, would react. Tabori wanted …
