Landmark resource for 20th-century Latin American and Latino art launches at the MFA in Houston

The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
, and its research institute, the International Center for the Arts of the Americas (ICAA), have devoted 10 years and $50 million to initiatives in 20th-century Latin American and Latino art. In January 2012, the MFAH and ICAA launched the first phase of a digital archive of some 10,000 primary-source materials, culled by hundreds of researchers based in 16 cities in the United States and throughout Latin America. The Documents of 20th-Century Latin American and Latino Art online archive are available worldwide, free of charge, and is intended as a catalyst for the future of a field that has been notoriously lacking in accessible resources. The digital archive went online at
on Friday, January 20. The phased, multiyear launch begins with 2,500 documents from Argentina, Mexico and the American Midwest, capping the 10th-anniversary year for the Latin American program. Documents from other countries and communities will continue to be uploaded and made available.
A series of 13 books to be published over the next dozen years, Critical Documents of 20th-Century Latin American and Latino Art, accompanies the digital-archive initiative. Selections from the archive will be translated into English and organized by theme, rather than country or chronology. The general, non-Spanish-speaking reader will have access to Latin American primary-source materials in English, and the specialized reader will be able to cross-reference the books with the archive, accessing both the original and the translated versions of the texts. Copublished by the MFAH and Yale University Press, the series is the most ambitious editorial venture of its kind. The release of the first anthology, Resisting Categories: Latin American and/or Latino?, by Mari Carmen Ramírez, Tomás Ybarra-Frausto and Héctor Olea, is timed for the Documents Project website launch.
The online archive is rich in artists writings, correspondence and other unpublished materials, as well as in texts published in newspapers and period journals by artists, critics, scholars and others who have played a vital role in shaping the cultural fabric of the countries and communities where the documents in this project have had a presence. The material brings to life the ferment of international cultures, ideas and personalities that swept across 20th-century South America, the Spanish-speaking Caribbean and Latino communities in the United States as artists, writers and intellectuals sought to define or challenge notions of a national art; art movements emerged in response to changing local political regimes, as well as to what was perceived as the onslaught of North American culture; and the contribution of Latin American artists to the early stages of global avant-garde movements. The archive also highlights the common interests and affinities shared by Latin artists working in North and South America, allowing for first-hand comparative studies of these broad-based, highly heterogeneous groups. Documents from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and the United States will continue to be added to the website over the next three years, with the entire selection of holdings to date available by 2015. As the ICAA research initiatives progress, the website will continue to develop in perpetuity, making it an indispensable provider of Latin American and Latino primary-source documents.
Latin American art can now fully become part of the worldwide discussion of Modernism. For graduate students especially, this project will be of immense use and interest, commented Edward J. Sullivan, the Helen Gould Sheppard Professor of Art History, New York University, and adviser to the Documents Project. The access to material written at the moment when the art was happening is a major tool for understanding the development of artistic movements in Latin America. This project has the potential to integrate the lost chapter of Latin American art into the discipline of art history as it is taught at Western universities.
This project is just the beginning of the effort to recover the intellectual production of 20th-century Latin American artists, critics and curators and to further research and awareness of this production in the United States and elsewhere, said Mari Carmen Ramírez, the Wortham Curator of Latin American Art at the MFAH and director of the ICAA. It will be up to future scholars to really make something out of this project and to continue to build what could truly be an amazing resource for the long-term development and consolidation of the field.
The ICAA Documents Project is unprecedented in its scope and depth, said MFAH interim director Gwendolyn H. Goffe. The research teams have included the artistic production from countries that have been overlooked, opening up whole new avenues of scholarly investigation to as broad an audience as possible.

*frantically tries to finish Leave Me Be chapter*
Since I've seen people/gotten some people asking about the SAMFAs
They are the Sherlolly fanfiction awards, started last year by the lovely Sherlolly. They are awesome and fabulous and a brilliant idea and everyone who reads Sherlolly fics should go nominate their favourite stories because it's super fun.
Welp, everyone else is making a list, so I figured I'd give a friendly, totally casual reminder that Leave Me Be is eligible for nomination. If anyone is kind enough to even consider nominating me, well, that would be rather delightful.
Goals for today
- Finish Mrs Dalloway paper
- Go for a run
- Clean my room because this is getting unfair for Prisci
- Finish "Leave Me Be" chapter
- Write more Enjonine
- Sleep
I can do this.
So this may just be my Sherlolly-loving heart's wishful thinking, but I had a think.
I know that, here in the States, spouses cannot be forced to stand witness against each other in a court of law. They can willingly, but not by force.
I know everyone's freaking out about that ring being a sign of Molstrade, but if there's a similar law in the UK (and I've done no research, so I have no idea), I would not put it past Sherlock to protect both Molly and himself by marrying her. That ring could very well be the key to Sherlock keeping Molly out of jail. Since, you know, filing fake death certificates is illegal.
Derp. I'm so sorry.
I don't think I've updated Leave Me Be since Novermberish. I'm gonna update really soon, though. I've got the chapter written (finished it this week), but there's something about it that's bothering me and I'm not sure what. My beta and I working on figuring it out, but SOON.
Question fellow Sherlolly shippers:
So Prisci and I were talking and realised that there are some common themes between Sherlolly and Enjolnine. So, out of curiosity, how many of you Sherlolly shippers ship Enjolras/Eponine slash would be interested in reading a possible fic that I will make time to write?
Finally made it to the next page!
The next chapter of Leave Me Be will be up soon eventually!

Biden to Focus on Syria During Europe Trip
by Kent Klein
The civil war in Syria will be a major topic when U.S. Vice President Joe Biden meets with leaders in three European nations, starting Friday. Biden will visit Germany, France and Britain.
The main event of the vice president's first overseas trip of his second term will be an address at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday. He also spoke at the conference shortly after the Obama administration took office four years ago.
While in Munich, Biden will discuss the bloodshed in Syria with several officials, including Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
President Barack Obama's deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes, told reporters Thursday the vice president will ask Lavrov for a clearer statement on Russia's position on Syria.
"What we would like to see from other countries, including Russia, is an acknowledgement that Bashar al-Assad must go and that there needs to be a transition within Syria to a new government," said Rhodes.
Rhodes said the Syrian government has "completely failed to maintain its own domestic and international legitimacy."
In Munich, Biden is also expected to discuss Syria with Lakhdar Brahimi, the United Nations and Arab League special representative for Syria, and Syrian opposition leader Moaz al-Khatib.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said the vice president will talk with al-Khatib about U.S. support for the Syrian opposition's efforts to build a democracy after President Assad's government falls.
"We will continue to work with the Syrian opposition to help it organize itself and help it in its work to prepare for a post-Assad Syria," said Carney.
Syria is also expected to be on the agenda when the vice president meets with the leaders of Germany, France and Britain.
Biden's first meeting is with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday in Berlin. In addition to Syria, they are likely to address the global economy, Afghanistan, and Iran's nuclear program.
On Monday, the vice president will be in Paris, meeting with French President Francois Hollande. Their talks also will cover the eurozone and economic relations between the U.S. and the EU.
One of their main items will be U.S. support for the French intervention against Islamic extremists in Mali. Biden's national security adviser, Tony Blinken, says the extremist threat across North Africa and the Middle East is due to several factors.
"The reality of porous borders, ungoverned territory, too-readily-available weapons, increasing collaboration among some of these groups, and, in many cases, a new government that lacks the capacity and sometimes the will to deal with the problem," said Blinken.
The final stop of the vice president's trip will be London, where he will meet with British Prime Minister David Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, on many of the same issues covered in the first two stops.

Justin Timberlake Plays Coy About His Kanye West 'Feud' on Jimmy Fallon [VIDEO]
After his fifth hosting stint on 'Saturday Night Live' on March 9, Justin Timberlake continued his television domination by kicking off âJustin Timberlake Weekâ on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,' where he'll be the special guest and musical guest all week.
And for his first trick, he addressed his so-called-feud with Kanye West.
The whole thing started when Kanye dissed Justin and Jay-Z's single 'Suit & Tie' by rapping, "And I got love for Hov, but Iâm not fâing with that âSuit & Tieâ.â
Justin returned fire on Saturday night, throwing some shade during his 'SNL' performance by changing some lyrics to, "My hit's so sick, got rappers acting dramatic."
When Fallon asked if that line had been changed on purpose, Justin demurred with a smile, âI donât remember that … For the record, I absolutely love Kanye. So thereâs that.â
We have a feeling Kanye doesn't quite feel that way. Expect another anger-filled rant from Yeezy in the future, because that's how all responsible fathers-to-be handle their disputes.

As many of you know dealing with whatever issues you may have is a challenge day in and day out. When you have to spend your days at work these feelings just seem to be amplified.
Like today for example I have to meet with my CEO. He is a chill guy and its not like I am panicing, I have met with him before but it just piles on to the battle that is already going on in my head.
Just blowing off steam I suppose. Believe me I am grateful that I can have a job but for those anxiety sufferers out there I know you understand how awkward the work environment can be when you are not feeling your best.
Meeting is at 2...wish me luck!

Modern Jazz Quartet: 1963 Monterey Jazz Festival
- Modern Jazz Quartet
- 1963 Monterey Jazz Festival
- CD i **;
- Label: Douglas, 1963
- Bestellnummer: 6483010
- Erscheinungstermin: 8.4.2013
Starting out as the rhythm section of Dizzy Gillespie's 1946 orchestra, the Modern Jazz Quartet evolved into one of the most eloquent and long-lived ensembles in the history of jazz. By 1963 the MJQ had been working together for nine years with the same personnel: John Lewis, its musical director, on piano, Milt Jackson on vibraharp, Percy Heath on bass and Connie Kay on drums. The group's stability was a key factor in allowing Lewis to achieve his goal of synthesizing jazz improvisation and formal compositional elements, sometimes drawn from the classical tradition, in a manner that seems totally natural and unforced. As you will hear in this recording of the Monterey performance, all four members of the quartet are master musicians and highly skilled improvisers (Milt Jackson is one of the all-time great ones), and they play together with an extraordinary empathy that makes them a truly unified ensemble rather than just a loosely organized association of soloists.1963 was the fourth year the MJQ had appeared at Monterey.

Widget While You Work Part 1.
This is from the Weekly Webinars held every Tuesday @ 12:30 p by the Learning Technologies group at the University of Maryland. This video was broken into 2 parts due to technical difficulties.
As, the ELMS Administrator for University of Maryland, I have the opportunity to dig a little deeper in the tools to meet the unique needs of tech-savvy faculty. At the time there was a need expressed by faculty to rapidly design content for course spaces, so adding widgets of to Blackboard content areas.
So this webinar session promptly followed.

If Bracewell was a bunny with the bat, he wouldn't be a starter for me. He needs to find his out swing again, barely moving it in the air atm. Thats what made him successful along with his seam off the pitch. |

Very accurate assessment. I was thinking the same thing earlier today. Needs to find his swing otherwise he will be an ineffective Brent Arnel/Ishant Sharma type bowler.

It seems like they've messed with his action to make him fit the stereotype "hit the deck third seamer" role, he's releasing it from twelve o'clock rather than the one o'clock of your typical outswing bowler such as Southee.

he was always a "hit-the-deck" seamer though, at least from what I've seen.
Even seamers will get a bit of swing in very swing-friendly conditions (e.g. Siddle in today's test got some), and that's why he got a bit of swing in Hobart, but he's always looked like a seamer to me. |

Yeah, Bracewell used to swing it around corners. But I don't think we should judge him until we see how he goes in SA. It's hard to get the ball to swing in the sub continent, especially if you have to have to wait 15-20 overs before getting a hold of the ball.

SA will bat first. They have a funny team playing with Ontong amazingly given yet another chance. Phangiso gets to play again too. Looks like its experiment time.

Monserat De Lucca Benicio Diamond Tote
What should every bagista have in her handbag collection? A classic black leather tote, of course! And when I stumble across one that sells for an unbelievably low price, I am literally on Cloud 9! But who could really resist? It's like indulging in a guilty pleasure, without all the guilt! And when you find one as beautiful as the bag you see pictured here, it really is just icing on the cake! Introducing the Monserat De Lucca Benicio Diamond Leather Tote!
But wait… who the heck is Monserat De Lucca? To be honest, I have never heard of this designer before and there seems to be little information about them floating around the net. What I do know, however, is that they design their handbags for the modern woman. They strive to bring style and functionality together. Sounds like my kind of company! And I really love this Benicio Diamond Leather Tote! The unique, quilted diamond pattern is so sophisticated and elegant. I love the simple rolled handles and how they extend around the perimeter of the bag creating a piping-like border. Plus the tumbled leather is so touchably soft, you won't believe this bag retails for less than $350! What a great deal all the way around!
Discover the Monserat De Lucca Benicio Diamond Leather Tote at Bloomingdale's, where it can be purchased for only $330!

All who are led by God's Spirit are God's sons and daughters. 15 You didn't receive a spirit of slavery to lead you back again into fear, but you received a Spirit that shows you are adopted as his children. With this Spirit, we cry, " Abba, Father. " 16 The same Spirit agrees with our spirit, that we are God's children. 17 But if we are children, we are also heirs. We are God's heirs and fellow heirs with Christ, if we really suffer with him so that we can also be glorified with him.
Andrey Komanetsky's "Panis angelicus" for medium voice is a perfect solo to use at a Maundy Thursday eucharist, at any holy communion, in a wedding or funeral, or as a concert or recital piece. The melodic and harmonic beauty of Komanetsky's writing rivals that of the popular César Franck setting. There is also a version with organ accompaniment available. 4 pages

Finally got into a Teavana for the first time. Wasn't thrilled with the selection; most of what I went in there to try was out of stock. However, I did pick up some of this tea to try, and want to see how it compares to my current fav, Creamed Earl Grey by Tealish. Currently watching the final episodes of Downton Abbey Season 2, and distracted by the butter tarts that I am shoving in my mouth. I'm not going to rate this tea today as it would hardly be a fair review, but will say that it was an enjoyable enough experience with the butter tarts, and of course, my beloved characters of this show.
Earl Grey Creme
A smooth and rich combination of classic Earl Grey black tea and Bergamot oil with a touch of dairy-free creaminess coming from the vanilla pieces and cream flavoring added.
