Long Island
Long Island is an island in the U.S. state of New York. Stretching northeast from New York Harbor into the Atlantic Ocean, the island comprises four counties, including two (Kings and Queens) that form the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, and two (Nassau and Suffolk) that are farther out on the island and mainly suburban. Although all four counties are part of the greater New York metropolitan area, the name Long Island is often reserved in popular usage for only Nassau and Suffolk counties, as distinct from those lying within New York City proper. North of the island is Long Island Sound, across which are the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island.
With a Census-estimated population of 7,740,208 in 2013, Long Island is the most populated island in any U.S. state or territory, and the 17th-most populous island in the world (ahead of Ireland, Jamaica, and Hokkaidō). Its population density is 5,402 inhabitants per square mile (2,086 /km2). If it were a U.S. state, Long Island would rank 13th in population (after Virginia) and first in population density.

On Collecting Photography: Christine Symchych
Follow your passion. Look a lot. Go to museums. Go to galleries and start to be able to build up your own visual dictionary so you can then process things. I like this better than this or this is better than that and without doing tons of looking, you can’t actually make those decisions.
Photography collector Christine Symchych on how to become involved in collecting fine art photography and various ways to approach the medium.
Be sure to join fellow collectors at The Photography Show at Pier 94. Tickets and information at aipadshow.com/

The City University of New York and CUNY TV celebrate the 50th anniversary of the signing – on April 19, 1965 – of New York City's Landmarks Law.

The Spanish Flu Pandemic: Influenza in Montgomery County
Alan Hawk spoke to an audience at the 2018 Montgomery County History Conference.
This presentation explores how the “Spanish Flu” spread through Montgomery County, Maryland, and its effect on its population. Even a century after the pandemic, Montgomery County continues to have a role in characterizing and understanding 1918 Influenza Virus. In 1918, Montgomery County, Maryland was a rural county with a growing suburb served by the Metropolitan Line of the B&O Railroad and an expanding trolley car network. When the Spanish Flu arrived in the county it was mobilizing for World War I. On September 28, a 9-year old boy died of Lobular Pneumonia and Influenza in Forest Glen, Maryland. During the next five months, over 200 Montgomery County residents would die of influenza and/or pneumonia. However, Montgomery County’s role with the Spanish Flu did not end in 1919. In 1996, Jeffrey Taubenberger and Ann Reid of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology used pathological specimens to isolate and sequence a portion of the genetic structure of the influenza virus.
Nearly a century after the pandemic, federal civilian and military public health agencies monitor any incidences of emerging novel influenza strains that may arise worldwide to ensure the best available and proper countermeasures are in place before a pandemic occurs.

2016 Wheelwright Prize Finalist Presentations
4/20/16
Harvard University Graduate School of Design is pleased to announce the finalists of the 2016 Wheelwright Prize, a $100,000 grant awarded annually to a single architect to support travel-based architectural research. Now in its fourth year as an open international competition, the prize originated as a traveling fellowship, established in 1935 in memory of GSD alumnus Arthur C. Wheelwright. For 75 years, the prize was offered to the school’s top graduates, including Paul Rudolph, Eliot Noyes, William Wurster, and I. M. Pei. In 2013, the GSD transformed the prize into a platform to promote new forms of architectural research informed by cross-cultural engagement.
This year, the Wheelwright Prize jury reviewed nearly 200 applications from 45 countries and selected four finalists, who hail from Italy, Spain, and Chile. The finalists have been invited to the GSD to present their work and research proposals:

Conversations on Public Art: Nato Thompson
How can public art and design practice remain socially engaged in a moment when images and information proliferate all around us, and cultural production can almost instantaneously be co-opted by prevailing media, economic, and power structures? What constitutes a meaningful or effective activist artistic practice today? Curator and critic Nato Thompson will discuss a decade of experience at the forefront of rethinking social engagement in public art. The lecture will be followed by a discussion of the relationship between public art and interventionary architecture as urban agents. Nato Thompson is Artistic Director of Creative Time, a public art presenter based in New York City. Previously, he worked as curator at MASS MoCA. In 2005, he received the Art Journal Award for distinguished writing. He has written two books of cultural criticism, Seeing Power:Art and Activism in the 21st Century (2015) and Culture as Weapon: The Art of Influence in Everyday Life (2017).
Organized by the Harvard Mellon Urban Initiative.
