True true / by Hooper, Don P.,author.(CARDINAL)874111;

This is not how seventeen-year-old Gil imagined beginning his senior year-on the subway dressed in a tie and khakis headed towards Manhattan instead of his old public school in Brooklyn. Augustin Prep may only be a borough away, but the exclusive private school feels like it's a different world entirely compared to Gil's predominately Caribbean neighborhood in Brooklyn. If it weren't for the partial scholarship, the school's robotic program and the chance for a better future, Gil wouldn't have even considered going. Then after a racist run-in with the school's golden boy on the first day ends in a fight that leaves only Gil suspended, Gil understands the truth about his new school-Augustin may pay lip service to diversity, but that isn't the same as truly accepting him and the other Black students as equal. But Gil intends to leave his mark on Augustin anyway. If the school isn't going to carve out a space for him, he will carve it out for himself. Using Sun Tzu's The Art of War as his guide, Gil wages his own clandestine war against the racist administration, parents and students, and works with the other Black students to ensure their voices are finally heard. But the more enmeshed Gil becomes in school politics, the more difficult it becomes to balance not only his life at home with his friends and family, but a possible new romance with a girl he'd move mountains for. In the end, his war could cost him everything he wants the most.Grades 7-9.Ages 12 and up.

Weaving at Black Mountain College : Anni Albers, Trude Guermonprez, and their students / by Beggs, Michael,author.(CARDINAL)349723; Danilowitz, Brenda,contributor.(CARDINAL)119660; Nieling, Jennifer,contributor.(CARDINAL)880825; Thomson, Julie J.,author.(CARDINAL)349724; Warren, Erica,1982-contributor.(CARDINAL)855570; Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center,host institution,issuing body.(CARDINAL)272324; Yale University Press,distributor.(CARDINAL)332061;

Includes bibliographical references."In the mid-twentieth century, Black Mountain College attracted a remarkable roster of artists, architects, and musicians. Yet the weaving classes taught by Anni Albers, Trude Guermonprez, and six other faculty members are rarely mentioned or are often treated as mere craft lessons. This was far from the case: the weaving program was the school's most sophisticated and successful design program. About ten percent of all Black Mountain College students took at least one class in weaving, including specialists like textile designers Lore Kadden Lindenfeld and Else Regensteiner, as well as students from other disciplines, like artists Ray Johnson and Robert Rauschenberg and architects Don Page and Claude Stoller. Drawing upon a wealth of unpublished material and archival photographs, Weaving at Black Mountain College rewrites history to show how weaving played a much larger role in the legendary art and design curriculum than previously assumed"--

Queer networks : Ray Johnson's correspondence art / by Johnson, Ray,1927-1995,artist.(CARDINAL)169136; Kienle, Miriam,1979-author.(CARDINAL)876163; University of Minnesota.Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)855718;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-278) and index."Utilizing the postal service as his primary means of producing and circulating art, Ray Johnson cultivated an international community of friends and collaborators through which he advanced his idiosyncratic body of work. Highlighting his alternative modes of community building and playful antagonism toward art world protocols, Miriam Kienle demonstrates how Ray Johnson's correspondence art offers new ways of envisioning togetherness in today's highly commodified and deeply networked world"--"Ray Johnson (1927-1995) was a seminal Pop Art figure in the 1950s, an early conceptualist, and a pioneer of mail art. His preferred medium was collage, that quintessentially twentieth-century art form that reflects the increased (as the century wore on) collision of disparate visual and verbal information that bombards modern man. Integrating texts and images drawn from a multiplicity of sources -- from mass media to telephone conversations -- Johnson's innovativeness spread beyond the confines of the purely visual. He staged what Suzi Gablik described in Pop Art Redefined as perhaps the "first informal happening" and moved into mail art, artist books, graphic design, and sculpture, working in all modes simultaneously. Johnson not only operated in what Rauschenberg famously called "the gap between art and life," but he also erased the distinction between them. His entire being - a reflection of his obsessively creative mind - was actually one continuous "work of art." His works reflect his encyclopedic erudition, his promiscuous range of interests, and an uncanny proto-Google ability to discover connections between a myriad of images, facts, and people.Born in Detroit, Michigan on October 16, 1927, Johnson grew up in a working class neighborhood and attended an occupational high school where he enrolled in an advertising art program. He studied at the Detroit Art Institute and spent a summer in a drawing program at Ox-Bow School in Saugatuck, Michigan, an affiliate of the Art Institute of Chicago. Leaving Detroit in the summer of 1945, he matriculated at the progressive Black Mountain College, where he spent the next three years with the exception of the spring of 1946. He studied painting with former Bauhaus faculty Josef Albers and Lyonel Feininger, as well as Robert Motherwell. By the summer of 1948, Johnson had befriended summer visiting lecturers John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Willem de Kooning, Buckminster Fuller, and Richard Lippold and fellow student Ruth Asawa. He participated in "The Ruse of Medusa," the culmination of Cage's Satie Festival (characterized by scholar Martin Duberman as "a watershed event in the history of 'mixed-media'") with Cage, Cunningham, Fuller, the de Koonings, and Ruth Asawa, among others." -- Full biography at:Miriam Kienle is associate professor of art history in the School of Art and Visual Studies at the University of Kentucky.
