<p>I can’t see who are all those in ‘good VS evil’ chess set.
I see cruella de vil, snow white’s mom, apple tree (from OZ?)
even thou there is no actual piece shown if there is a show, there would be gift shop/books to browse.
sit on my paws and wait for your report. want to know who is who, king, queen, pawns, castle, knight both sides please.

<p>"Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan (born 1960) is perhaps best known for his mischievous sense of humour, challenging the mores of the art world and public alike. In 1997 he filled the Italian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale with stuffed pigeons and in 1999 displayed La Nona Ora at the Kunsthalle in Basel, an installation comprising of a waxwork mannequin of Pope John Paul II being squashed by a meteorite (seen in London as part of the Apocalypse show at the Royal Academy). Maintaining the provocative power of laughter in his RS&A commission fabricated in porcelain by Bertozzi and Casoni, Cattelan has decided to populate his highly figurative chess set with good and bad figures that he both admires and despises. The King on the black side is Adolf Hitler, opposed on the white side by Martin Luther King. Other notable figures appear as Pawns, including Donatella Versace, Rasputin and General Custer (black) and Superman, Mother Teresa and Sitting Bull (white). "</p>

<p>Like the Hitler as the black king. I can’t think of anyone more evil except for maybe Osama. But what’s the deal with Versace - was he “good” or “evil”?</p>

103

<p>Bears - you always scare them at first, until they figure out you know of which you speak. But looks like he’s calmed down a bit.</p>

104

<p>aw that’s Martin Luther king jr!! I couldn’t tell.
see? don’t you wanna know who is what in which side?</p>

<p>you must be mombug, yes?
I know. I have this tendency of assuming people should be getting used to me by now, forgetting threre is always new kids and everyone else got life and don’t catalogue who is who (good VS evil, LOL) in CC
I say, I want to be the horse for the evil, facing right side.</p>

105

<p>this is the good side lineup. I see it is subjective…

<p>I am also interested in art history (currently in undergrad, looking at grad schools) what do you guys know about dartmouth, university of chicago, or northwestern?</p>

107

<p>Emsies - You may want to start a separate thread so you get traffic related to your specific question. When you do, you might include what grad program you are looking at for those 3 schools. If it is not art, you would get more response in the specific school forums.</p>

<p>no TX today
but here is new apointee to Hood museum @Dartmouth.
[Curator</a> Michael Taylor Appointed New Director of Dartmouth’s Hood Museum of Art](<a href=“http://www.artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=48045]Curator”>http://www.artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=48045)
When thinking art at Ivies, people don’t usually think of Dartmouth. I was laughed at once saying favorable things about the school.
Hood, is small-sh but one of the best (this is the magic word, always “one of the” never “THE” best) museum in any colleges, really. I mean, where else you can go nose to nose (literally) with Rembrandt but nobody says anything because nobody is in there!!</p>

<p>this ^ new guy, is English. educated at Courtauld (where else?) did time under guy 1, who is a directer at Philly, and used to be the head of Hood in the past.
you can read all and follow it if you want but these names are tedious, besides this article got two Katherine-s and too many people with some old people’s name in their academic positions or places and so very tedious. let’s just say guy1, girl 1, so forth?</p>

<p>At Hood/Dartmouth side
there is girl 1(provost) who made announcement
guy 2 (last director being there for five years, already gone to the better job since last September)</p>

<p>here is D’s big-shot search committee members
girl 2 (associate dean of the faculty for the arts and humanities) was a search committee Chair
girl 3 (Hood’s associate director who served as the museum’s interim director, plus Curator of Academic Programming at the museum)</p>

<p>here are rest of the searching committees
committee 3 ( special collections librarian)
committee 4 (director of the Hopkins Center (D’s theater venue) for the Arts)
committee 5 (D alum, overseer of the Hood Museum of Art)
committee 6 (professor of art History and director of the center for humanities)
committee 7 (professor of studio art)
committee 8 (professor of classics and humanities)
committee 9 (professor and acting chair of anthropology)
committee 10 (D alum, professor and chair of Native American studies)</p>

<p>what do you see? I could be wrong but

  1. even you (girl 3) worked hard since the person above you left/ditched the institution, you are not going to be promoted, they’d just pull in some euro white male with fancy degree over you.
  2. Once at the top (guy1), they are glad to see people working for you leaving to take the job you used to do, even help them to get there, that would yet help to gain your credential = revolving door
  3. It helps if you are alum (committees 5 and 10)
  4. academic art museum job is chosen by committee of all sort of boring intellectuals, not only art. you need to please everyone (librarian, theater, AH, classics, anthropology and native american studies)
  5. but no donors? corporate money people? area politicians? sure yes, they are not telling everything.
  6. Or D is really truly purely intellectual academicky, no money business involved in appointment.
    let’s believe #6 and please visit Hood, even no one ask you to do that put some changes/bills in the collecting bin for the little museum that could in gorgeous beautiful Hanover if you happened be in the area during the summer.</p>

<p>Shoot! I chased emsies away and you have good info for him/her! But I could not tell from the post whether the UG was in Art History or the grad was to be in that subject.</p>

<p>s/he can always go to Courtauld somehow. No, I don even bother opening the link.

<p>yes TX was still going strong
now this is one loveliest of cut-outs
to tell you the truth being fake artist, I like them better than paintings or boxy sculptures he did<br>
It is easer to reproduce already graphic cut-outs on publications but when you see real works, you’d be awed how big it is and there are bit of raw edge or uneven colors here. old yellowed bit there. you can feel that grandpa’s (or his henchmen’s) scissors went this way and that.
history. magnifico. long cerebrated life. creative to the wheelchair to the end. love.
Lucky you Dallas-ans(?) enjoy!!
