Labrang Tashi Kyil Tour Dissolution Ceremony at the Carnegie Center
Seven Tibetan monks from the Labrang Tashi Kyil Monastery in Dehradun, India created a World Peace sand mandala in the foyer of the Carnegie Center for Art & History in New Albany, Indiana from Tuesday July 9 through Saturday July 13, 2013.
Tibetan monks have long produced intricate designs by carefully depositing finely ground colored stone using specially designed funnels call chak pur. The World Peace Mandala features was designed by Arjia Rinpoche on the occasion of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's 2007 visit to the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center and St. Paul's Catholic Church where he attended an Interfaith Service for World Peace and Harmony. At that time, monks from Drepung Gomang Monastery constructed the World Peace Mandala in the foyer of St. Paul's. The mandala freatures lines that represent the world. Superimposed on the globe is the image of the Four Harmonious Brothers. The Eight Auspicious Symbols encircle the mandala. The symbols in the next ring out are symbols of world religions. Beginning at the top and going clockwise, they are: Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Taoism, Sikhism, Shinto, Islam and Hinduism. A multi-colored ocean surrounds the entire image -- representing the different nations and peoples who are bound together by their common humanity.
Dissolution Ceremony: After days of painstaking work, the finished design is swept away as a powerful reminder of the Buddhist principal of impermanence. The sand is then poured into a flowing body of water as an offering of the merit created to all beings.
The monks are touring the United States in conjunction with the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center in Bloomington, Indiana. The goals of this tour are to provide information about Tibetan culture, deliver a message of mutual understanding and tolerance, and to raise awareness and support for their reestablished monastery in India.

Resartus
Enjoy this time-lapse video of the installation of Resartus by Dominic Guarnaschelli at the Carnegie Center for Art & History. This artwork is part of the New Albany Public Art Project: Bicentennial Series. Learn more about the project at napublicart.org.
This sculpture commemorating the female workforce of New Albany's textile industry is modeled on an historical 19th century dress body form, and enlarged in homage to classical statuary. Paralleling the translation of a garment from a two dimensional plan into three dimensional form, the sculpture combines multiple historic clothing patterns while also referencing the design of a treadle sewing base used by my grandfather, a tailor in Louisville for several decades. The title, 'Resartus', taken from the Latin phrase meaning 'retailored', recalls not only a connection to New Albany's Textile Industry, but also in the context of the Bicentennial series, the notion of looking back, transformation and making things anew. -Dominic Guarnaschelli
US Route 20 comes to Gordon, NE
From 1989 to 1995, artists Jan Albers and Karen Titus took photographs and interviewed people they encountered along U.S. Route 20, the longest transcontinental highway in the United States. Reaching 3,365 miles from coast to coast, it begins in Boston, Massachusetts, and continues through 12 states, ending at the Pacific Ocean in Newport, Oregon. During their journey, Albers and Titus (who are also mother and daughter) documented sites, events, and stories of people who live and work along this road. Photographs from the road by Albers and Titus will be on view in the exhibition 20/20 Vision: Travels Along America's Accidental Highway at the Carnegie Center for Art & History in New Albany, Indiana, June 3 - July 16, 2011.
In 1990, Jan Albers interviewed Caroline Santoz Pfiffer, who lived on a back road off of U.S. Route 20 outside of Gordon, Nebraska. Jan Albers had to nudge cows off of the road to get to Pfiffer's home. The downstairs of her home was a museum to Pfiffer's sister, Mari Santoz (1896-1966) who left the area for New York and became a well-known writer. Pfiffer was in her 80s at the time of the interview. She talked about the history of the area, the importance of the railroad and her memories of when U.S. Route 20 was built.
Unveiling of Soft Language of Empty Space Mandala Painting
eBay Giving Works Auction of the painting ends on November 25 at 7:00 pm
The proceeds of this auction will be shared by the Labrang Tashi Kyil Monastery in Dehradun, India and the Carnegie Center for Art & History in New Albany, Indiana.
Seven Tibetan monks from the Labrang Tashi Kyil Monastery in Dehradun, India have been touring the United States since April in conjunction with the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center in Bloomington, Indiana. The goals of this tour are to provide information about Tibetan culture, deliver a message of mutual understanding and tolerance, and to raise awareness and support for their reestablished monastery in India. In July 2013, they spent a week at the Carnegie Center for Art & History in New Albany, Indiana creating a World Peace sand mandala. After the mandala sands were swept away and poured into the Ohio River, the Carnegie Center wanted to find a way to give new life to the board upon which the mandala was created. We asked local artists Russel and Shelley Hulsey to create a painting on the mandala board. Working together, they created this painting, Soft Language of Empty Space.
Husband and wife team, Russel and Shelley Hulsey, are a collaborative duo who approach Art with a reverence for its inherent sacredness. Most recently, Russel completed a larger than life set of paintings of Thomas Merton and His Holiness the Dalai Lama for the Festival of Faiths in Louisville Ky. In addition, Russel is a poet and spoken word artist. Shelley is a painter and multi-media artist, and has created works in video and sound that befit meditation and contemplative states.
About the painting, the artists write: In Soft Language of Empty Space Russel and Shelley have joined forces with Tibetan Buddhist monks and the Carnegie Center. The aim, being to work with the platform (literally the baseboard) of a World Peace sand mandala, skillfully, mindfully crafted by the monks while visiting the Carnegie Center for Art & History this year. In the long standing tradition of the ephemeral mandala arts, the sand was whisked away - raked well by the metaphorical hands of time - so that we may all be reminded of the transient nature of existence. The Hulsey's have created a work by similar means, by way of deconstruction; and yet, as is always the case, an ending begets a beginning, new forms arise from what was - in an interconnected web of co-existing dependent relationships.
The artists hope that the work will stand as a testament to not only impermanence, but to compassion in action. Soft Language of Empty Space is meant to be a celebration of creativity and poeticism; and a reminder that by virtue of working together we can achieve a greater good. Sometimes our most effective means of communication is to, quite simply, cultivate a silence - to become still and listen. In contemplative quietude, we not only make room for others, we make room for ourselves so that we may become more acutely aware. Indeed, listening is the greatest Art of all. Especially when we learn to hear with our heart.
On behalf of the benevolent monks of Tibet and the auspices of the Carnegie Center, we welcome all - for this moment in time that we share - to become still, to empty our hurried thoughts, and to direct our collective silence as prayer deep into the world ...an invocation of healing and peace.

SUMMARY
=======
Scientific racism (sometimes referred to as race biology, racial biology, or race realism) is the pseudoscientific belief that empirical evidence exists to support or justify racism (racial discrimination), racial inferiority, or racial superiority. Historically, scientific racist ideas received credence in the scientific community but are no longer considered scientific.Scientific racism employs anthropology (notably physical anthropology), anthropometry, craniometry, and other disciplines or pseudo-disciplines, in proposing anthropological typologies supporting the classification of human populations into physically discrete human races, that might be asserted to be superior or inferior. Scientific racism was common during the period from 1600s to the end of World War I. Since the second half of the 20th century, scientific racism has been criticized as obsolete and discredited, yet historically has persistently been used to support or validate racist world-views, based upon belief in the existence and significance of racial categories and a hierarchy of superior and inferior races.After the end of World War II, scientific racism in theory and action was formally denounced, especially in UNESCO's early antiracist statement The Race Question (1950): The biological fact of race and the myth of 'race' should be distinguished. For all practical social purposes 'race' is not so much a biological phenomenon as a social myth. The myth of 'race' has created an enormous amount of human and social damage. In recent years, it has taken a heavy toll in human lives, and caused untold suffering. Such biological fact is no longer considered to exist as developments in human evolutionary genetics showed that human genetic differences are nearly totally gradual.The term scientific racism is generally used pejoratively as applied to more modern theories, as in The Bell Curve (1994). Critics argue that such works postulate racist conclusions unsupported by available evidence such as a connection between race and intelligence. Publications such as the Mankind Quarterly, founded explicitly as a race-conscious journal, are generally regarded as platforms of scientific racism for publishing articles on fringe interpretations of human evolution, intelligence, ethnography, language, mythology, archaeology, and race subjects.
Bette Levy's Artistic Heritage
In this interview, Louisville artist Bette Levy speaks about her introduction to fiber art and the influence that her family has had on her art. She was interviewed in conjunction with the exhibition Tools of the Trade: Fiber Art by Bette Levy, on view at the Carnegie Center for Art & History March 16 - April 28, 2012.
Bette Levy has an undergraduate degree in experimental psychology and pursued an early career in the field of market research. Deciding to merge her interest in psychology and art, she came to Louisville from San Francisco in 1974, receiving a master's degree in art therapy at the University of Louisville's Institute of Expressive Therapies. This degree led to a two-decade career in art therapy, fund development and program planning. In 1992, Levy married UL microsurgeon and anatomist, Robert Acland, and because of his interest, support and encouragement, in 1994, Levy entered the UofL graduate program in fiber arts, graduating with her second master's degree in 1998.
Levy practices what she calls fine art embroidery. Primarily a hand stitcher, Levy's signature is the use of vividly-colored silk thread on black silk noil grounds. This approach intensifies thread colors and sets up strongly contrasting figure-ground relationships. Levy has developed a personal language of stitches that enables her to draw or paint with thread on fabric. Her subject matter is often based on her own photographic studies and is small scale and abstract.
Through her fiber art, Levy has participated in numerous exhibitions and conducted personal research into textiles through world-wide travel. She is a founding member of LAFTA (Louisville Area Fiber and Textile Artists), a past member of Fiber Forum, an arm of the Embroiderers' Guild of America, a past vice president, board member and Kentucky state representative for the Surface Design Association, and a member of numerous other textile, arts, and community organizations. She has written articles for Surface Design Journal, Arts Across Kentucky, and other professional journals. Levy is the director of the Patio Gallery at the Jewish Community Center in Louisville, KY. She is represented by PYRO Gallery, an artists' cooperative.

SUMMARY
=======
The technological and industrial history of the United States describes the United States' emergence as one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world. The availability of land and literate labor, the absence of a landed aristocracy, the prestige of entrepreneurship, the diversity of climate and a large easily accessed upscale and literate free market all contributed to America's rapid industrialisation. The availability of capital, development by the free market of navigable rivers, and coastal waterways, and the abundance of natural resources facilitated the cheap extraction of energy all contributed to America's rapid industrialization. Fast transport by the very large railroad built in the mid-19th century, and the Interstate Highway System built in the late 20th century, enlarged the markets and reducing shipping and production costs. The legal system facilitated business operations and guaranteed contracts. Cut off from Europe by the embargo and the British blockade in the War of 1812 (1807–15), entrepreneurs opened factories in the Northeast that set the stage for rapid industrialization modeled on British innovations.
From its emergence as an independent nation, the United States has encouraged science and innovation. As a result, the United States has been the birthplace of 161 of Britannica's 321 Greatest Inventions, including items such as the airplane, internet, microchip, laser, cellphone, refrigerator, email, microwave, personal computer, Liquid-crystal display and light-emitting diode technology, air conditioning, assembly line, supermarket, bar code, automated teller machine, and many more.The early technological and industrial development in the United States was facilitated by a unique confluence of geographical, social, and economic factors. The relative lack of workers kept United States wages nearly always higher than corresponding British and European workers and provided an incentive to mechanize some tasks. The United States population had some semi-unique advantages in that they were former British subjects, had high English literacy skills, for that period (over 80% in New England), had strong British institutions, with some minor American modifications, of courts, laws, right to vote, protection of property rights and in many cases personal contacts among the British innovators of the Industrial Revolution. They had a good basic structure to build on. Another major advantage, which the British lacked, was no inherited aristocratic institutions. The eastern seaboard of the United States, with a great number of rivers and streams along the Atlantic seaboard, provided many potential sites for constructing textile mills necessary for early industrialization. The technology and information on how to build a textile industry was largely provided by Samuel Slater (1768–1835) who emigrated to New England in 1789. He had studied and worked in British textile mills for a number of years and immigrated to the United States, despite restrictions against it, to try his luck with U.S. manufacturers who were trying to set up a textile industry. He was offered a full partnership if he could succeed—he did. A vast supply of natural resources, the technological knowledge on how to build and power the necessary machines along with a labor supply of mobile workers, often unmarried females, all aided early industrialization. The broad knowledge of the Industrial Revolution and Scientific revolution helped facilitate understanding for the construction and invention of new manufacturing businesses and technologies. A limited government that would allow them to succeed or fail on their own merit helped.
After the close of the American Revolution in 1783, the new government continued the strong property rights established under British rule and established a rule of law necessary to protect those ...
