answer: Leslie Carrara-Rudolph
context: Title: Space art
  Passage: "Space art" (also "astronomical art") is the term for a genre of modern artistic expression that strives to show the wonders of the Universe.  Like other genres, Space Art has many facets and encompasses realism, impressionism, hardware art, sculpture, abstract imagery, even zoological art.  Though artists have been making art with astronomical elements for a long time, the genre of Space Art itself is still in its infancy, having begun only when humanity gained the ability to look off our world and artistically depicted what we see out there.  Whatever the stylistic path, the artist is generally attempting to communicate ideas somehow related to space, often including an appreciation of the infinite variety and vastness which surrounds us.  In some cases, artists who consider themselves Space Artists use more than illustration and painting to communicate scientific discoveries or works depicting space, some have had the opportunity to work directly with space flight technology and scientists in attempts to expand the arts, humanities, and cultural expression relative to space exploration.
  Title: Medal
  Passage: A medal or medallion is, strictly speaking, a small, flat, and round (at times, ovoid) piece of metal that has been sculpted, molded, cast, struck, stamped, or some way marked with an insignia, portrait, or other artistic rendering.  A medal may be awarded to a person or organization as a form of recognition for sporting, military, scientific, cultural, academic, or various other achievements.  Military awards and decorations are more precise terms for certain types of state decoration.  Medals may also be created for sale to commemorate particular individuals or events, or as works of artistic expression in their own right.  In the past, medals commissioned for an individual, typically with their portrait, were often used as a form of diplomatic or personal gift, with no sense of being an award for the conduct of the recipient.

  Title: Todd Webb
  Passage: Todd Webb (September 5, 1905 – April 15, 2000) was an American photographer notable for documenting everyday life and architecture in cities such as New York City, Paris as well as from the American west.  His photography has been compared with Harry Callahan, Berenice Abbott, Walker Evans, and the French photographer Eugène Atget.  He traveled extensively during his long life and had important friendships with artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Ansel Adams and Harry Callahan.  He photographed famous people including Dorothea Lange.  His life was like his photos in the sense of being seemingly simple, straightforward, but revealing complexity and depth upon a closer examination.  Capturing history, his pictures often transcend the boundary between photography and artistic expression.
  Title: Kakekotoba
  Passage: A kakekotoba (掛詞 ) or pivot word is a rhetorical device used in the Japanese poetic form waka.  This trope uses the phonetic reading of a grouping of kanji (Chinese characters) to suggest several interpretations: first on the literal level (e.g. 松, "matsu", meaning "pine tree"), then on subsidiary homophonic levels (e.g. 待つ, "matsu", meaning "to wait").  Thus it is that many waka have pine trees waiting around for something.  The presentation of multiple meanings inherent in a single word allows the poet a fuller range of artistic expression with an economical syllable-count.  Such brevity is highly valued in Japanese aesthetics, where maximal meaning and reference are sought in a minimal number of syllables.  Kakekotoba are generally written in the Japanese phonetic syllabary, hiragana, so that the ambiguous senses of the word are more immediately apparent.

The ANS archives preserve, apart from the internal archive of the association (ANS fonds), the Fraccaro-Carrega fonds, containing the papers of collector Marco Fraccaro and visual poet Ugo Carrega.  The library section, preserved at Mart, contains more than 10,000 volumes, among them 600 artist's books and hundreds of futurist first editions, and 500 art magazines including about 100 international artist's magazines.
