Art Talk: Jaume Plensa
In celebration of welcoming his gigantic sculpture Looking Into My Dreams, Awilda to its new home in Museum Park, Pérez Art Museum Miami hosted a talk by world renowned artist Jaume Plensa.
Monumentalizing everyday individuals, as well as youth and femininity, Awilda presents the artist’s large-scale portrait of a young girl from his native Barcelona. The piece was initially shown in Rio de Janeiro by the sea, where it took on additional references, particularly Plensa’s interest in the Yoruba female deity of the sea, Lemanjá. The piece then traveled to Millennium Park in Chicago, where it became a popular icon for the city. Awilda’s new home in Miami returns her to a seaside location, as her serene face, with closed eyes, is positioned in front of the Port of Miami.
Jaume Plensa was born in 1955 in Barcelona, where he studied at the Llotja School of Art and Design and at the Sant Jordi School of Fine Art. Since 1980, the year of his first exhibition in Barcelona, he has lived and worked in Berlin, Brussels, England, France and the United States, as well as the Catalan capital.
He has been a teacher at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and regularly cooperates with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago as a guest professor. He has also given many lectures and courses at other universities, museums and cultural institutions around the world.
Plensa regularly shows his work at galleries and museums in Europe, the United States and Asia. The landmark exhibitions in his career include one organised at the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona in 1996, which travelled to the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris and the Malmö Konsthall in Malmö (Sweden) the following year. In Germany, several museums have staged exhibitions of his work. These include Love Sounds at the Kestner Gesellschaft in Hannover in 1999 and the recent The Secret Heart, which was shown at three museums in the city of Augsburg in 2014. During 2015 and 2016 the exhibition Human Landscape has travelled by several North American museums: Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and Museum of Art and Frist Center of the Visual Arts in Nashville, TN, the Tampa Museum of Art in Tampa FL and the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo, OH.
A very significant part of Plensa’s work is in the field of sculpture in the public space. Installed in cities in Spain, France, Japan, England, Korea, Germany, Canada, USA, these pieces have won many prizes and citations, including the Mash Award for Excellence in Public Sculpture, which the artist received in London in 2009 for his work Dream.
Frances Stark: UH-OH (Contemporary Art)
As part of the opening celebrations for “UH-OH: Frances Stark 1991–2015,” join interdisciplinary artist and author Frances Stark as she discusses her 25-year career and the survey exhibition as the kick-off event for the exhibition opening. The Los Angeles-based artist and writer’s career is a furiously honest investigation into matters such as literature, music, architecture, art, sex, domesticity, labor, pleasure, pedagogy, and class, as seen in works from early carbon copy drawings and text-based works to more recent video installations, digital slide shows, and projects that shape fleeting engagements with social media into art.

Travel Germany - Touring Gohlis Castle in Leipzig
Take a tour of Gohlis Castle in Leipzig, Germany -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The Rococo style Gohlis Castle is considered to be one of the smallest in Saxony, a testament to the usual enormity of German castles.
Built in the mid 18th century, this elegant structure was commissioned by a prominent and wealthy member of the Leipzig community.
The striking colors and intricate inlays of the exterior speak to the grandeur lavished upon this castle.
The delicate statues, gardens, and wrought iron gate in the front courtyard further enhance the allure of this structure.
The many rows of windows surrounding the building provide both visual appeal and let in the natural light necessary to completely appreciate the beautifully painted ceilings.
The castle is now a center for the culinary art, as well as other fine arts and music, and houses a cafe within its walls.

GERMANY: VILLAGE THAT PRODUCES HAND CARVED WOODEN TOYS
German/Nat
With the advent of computers and games consoles, the modern-day Christmas sees few old fashioned toys for children.
But a small village in east Germany has stuck to a tradition dating back hundreds of years - producing hand carved wooden figures and toys.
Seiffen's wares act as a magnet to visitors from all over Europe and even America, particularly during the festive season.
APTN went to soak up the fairy-tale atmosphere at this Aladdin's Cave of tradition.
With Christmas just days away, the Santa Clauses are out in force in Seiffen - and so are the tourists.
The village remains true to a tradition that goes back nearly 400 years.
That custom is handcraft, and is well known throughout Europe and America.
All manner of pieces are manufactured by family workshops, such as smoking men and little angels.
These pieces of folkart represent the former life of Seiffen's people.
A good example of this is the nutcrackers.
They are the symbol of the ruling class - the kings, police and guards.
The history of Seiffen began when miners created the district nearly 700 years ago.
At first it was just a mining town, but the toy and folkart manufacturing industry developed as the need for mining disappeared.
Today several family workshops here open their doors to the public.
The entire manufacturing process can be followed by visitors, step by step.
Those involved in the craft say it's a highly individual art.
SOUNDBITE: (German)
Since almost 40 years ago we show how to manufacture this beautiful handcraft. Our figures are different from others in terms of the way they look. Each craftsman in the village is recognised by his typical style.
SUPER CAPTION: Wolfgang Braun, manager of the workshop
Wooden trees feature quite prominently in the works, particularly those depicting a Kurrende, or choir of children.
A small tree can be hand-produced in only two minutes.
Another speciality of Seiffen are the miniature toys, which have been produced since 1803.
They are carved out of a specially prepared wooden ring.
The ring turns on a lathe and the worker carves grooves on the outside of it.
After about five minutes the ring is ready and cut into slices, like bread.
Around 60 animals or other figures can be cut out of one ring.
Later the pieces will be painted and carved before children play with and enjoy them.
SOUNDBITE: (German)
We believe that the rings were created by chance during the production process in a glass manufacture. Today the lathe operator produces various animals and figures out of spruce wood in two steps.
SUPER CAPTION: Wolfgang Braun, manager of the workshop
Christmas is a busy time for workshops here, as production rises to meet the increased demand for figures.
This is especially true of nutcrackers and smoking miniatures, among the oldest and most purchased folkart figures of Seiffen.
In contrast to these stately figures, symbols of the more simple aspects of past life are also portrayed, such as miners, chimney-sweeps and bakers.
One-hundred-and-20 (120) families and five factories in Seiffen are producing and selling folkart and toys.
Christmas is the climax of the season, and the entire village is illuminated.

Previously unknown masters' art found in Munich trove

A number of previously unknown works of art by masters are among the trove of Nazi-looted art discovered in a Munich flat.
Bavarian customs officials have now revealed the huge haul includes works by Chagall, Matisse, Max Liebermann and Otto Dix.
They have also denied claims authorities failed to disclose the find for two years.
Art historian, Meike Hoffman, said a lot of the works were believed to have disappeared or to have been destroyed. They're in relatively good condition, some are dirty but not damaged.
The case, exposed by Focus magazine, poses a legal and moral minefield for authorities.
The Nazi regime systematically plundered hundreds of thousands of artworks from museums and individuals across Europe. It is believed some may have once been on display in German museums, then removed after Hitler's Third Reich considered them degenerate.

Munich and the Foothills of the Alps
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | In Munich, where locals specialize in good living, we visit boisterous markets and go-for-Baroque palaces, while office workers surf in the Isar River. Heading into the foothills of the Alps, we tour the fairy-tale castles of Mad King Ludwig, and climb to the highest point in Germany atop the Zugspitze. Then we cross into Tirol to conquer a desolate ruined castle. © 2002 Rick Steves' Europe

Colongne History: There are 2,000 years of history in Cologne, and visitors here will find everything from Roman towers to Gothic churches to fine examples of modern architecture. Cologne has a variety of museums, too—check out the Museum of Applied Art, the Museum Ludwig and, if you have a sweet tooth, the Chocolate Museum. Be forewarned, though—the gift shop at the latter will utterly ruin your diet.
Welcome to Cologne
Cologne (Köln) offers seemingly endless attractions, led by its famous cathedral whose filigree twin spires dominate the skyline. It’s regularly voted the country’s single most popular tourist attraction. The city’s museum landscape is especially strong when it comes to art; but also has something in store for fans of chocolate, sports and even Roman history. Its people are well known for their liberalism and joie de vivre; and it’s easy to have a good time right along with them year-round in the beer halls of the Altstadt (old town) or during the springtime Carnival.
Cologne is like a 3D textbook on history and architecture. Drifting about town you’ll stumble upon an ancient Roman wall, medieval churches galore, nondescript postwar buildings, avant-garde structures and even a new postmodern quarter right on the Rhine. Germany’s fourth-largest city was founded by the Romans in 38 BC and given the lofty name Colonia Claudia Ara Aggripinensium. It grew into a major trading centre, a tradition it solidified in the Middle Ages and continues to uphold today.

SUMMARY
=======
Pope Paul III (Latin: Paulus III; 29 February 1468 – 10 November 1549), born Alessandro Farnese, was Pope from 13 October 1534 to his death in 1549.
He came to the papal throne in an era following the sack of Rome in 1527 and rife with uncertainties in the Catholic Church following the Protestant Reformation. During his pontificate, and in the spirit of the Counter-Reformation, new Catholic religious orders and societies, such as the Jesuits, the Barnabites, and the Congregation of the Oratory, attracted a popular following.
He convened the Council of Trent in 1545. He was a significant patron of the arts and employed nepotism to advance the power and fortunes of his family. It is to Pope Paul III that Nicolaus Copernicus dedicated De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres).

The Allure of Collecting Arms and Armor
Lecture in conjunction with Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology's Arts of War: Artistry in Weapons across Cultures exhibition by Donald J. LaRocca, Curator, Department of Arms and Armor, The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
From dynastic armories and curiosity cabinets to Gothic Revival castles, private collections, and modern museums, armor and weapons have been methodically collected, studied, and preserved for their artistic and historical importance, beginning in the sixteenth century and continuing to the present day. This lecture will survey that legacy, particularly as it relates to the genesis of the major collections of arms and armor in leading European and American museums today, concluding with the growth and development of the Department of Arms and Armor in the Metropolitan Museum of Art over the past century.

POLAND - WikiVidi Documentary
Poland , officially the Republic of Poland , is a sovereign country in Central Europe. It is a unitary state divided into 16 administrative subdivisions, covering an area of 312679 km2 with a mostly temperate climate. With a population of over 38.5 million people, Poland is the sixth most populous member state of the European Union. Poland's capital and largest city is Warsaw. Other cities include Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk and Szczecin. The establishment of a Polish state can be traced back to 966, when Mieszko I, ruler of a territory roughly coextensive with that of present-day Poland, converted to Christianity. The Kingdom of Poland was founded in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented a longstanding political association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by signing the Union of Lublin. This union formed the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest and most populous countries of 16th and 17th century Europe with a uniquely liberal political system which declared Europe's fir...

SUMMARY
=======
Nuremberg (; German: Nürnberg; pronounced [ˈnʏɐ̯nbɛɐ̯k] (listen); Nuremberg dialect: Närmberch; East Franconian: Närrnberch or Nämberch) is the second-largest city of the German federal state of Bavaria after its capital Munich, and its 511,628 (2016) inhabitants make it the 14th largest city in Germany. On the Pegnitz River (from its confluence with the Rednitz in Fürth onwards: Regnitz, a tributary of the River Main) and the Rhine–Main–Danube Canal, it lies in the Bavarian administrative region of Middle Franconia, and is the largest city and the unofficial capital of Franconia. Nuremberg forms a continuous conurbation with the neighbouring cities of Fürth, Erlangen and Schwabach with a total population of 787,976 (2016), while the larger Nuremberg Metropolitan Region has approximately 3.5 million inhabitants. The city lies about 170 kilometres (110 mi) north of Munich. It is the largest city in the East Franconian dialect area (colloquially: Franconian; German: Fränkisch).
There are many institutions of higher education in the city, most notably the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg), with 39,780 students (2017) Bavaria's third and Germany's 11th largest university with campuses in Erlangen and Nuremberg and a university hospital in Erlangen (Universitätsklinikum Erlangen); Technische Hochschule Nürnberg Georg Simon Ohm; and Hochschule für Musik Nürnberg. Nuremberg Airport (Flughafen Nürnberg „Albrecht Dürer“) is the second-busiest airport of Bavaria after Munich Airport, and the tenth-busiest airport of Germany.
Staatstheater Nürnberg is one of the five Bavarian state theatres, showing operas, operettas, musicals, and ballets (main venue: Nuremberg Opera House), plays (main venue: Schauspielhaus Nürnberg), as well as concerts (main venue: Meistersingerhalle). Its orchestra, Staatsphilharmonie Nürnberg, is Bavaria's second-largest opera orchestra after the Bavarian State Opera's Bavarian State Orchestra in Munich. Nuremberg is the birthplace of Albrecht Dürer and Johann Pachelbel.
Nuremberg was the site of major Nazi rallies, and it provided the site for the Nuremberg trials, which held to account many major Nazi officials.
