paragraph: Autre Ne Veut

paragraph: Arthur Ashin (born 20 April 1982), better known by his stage name Autre Ne Veut, is an American singer-songwriter and musician from New York City.

paragraph: The name Autre Ne Veut is taken from an inscription in French on a 15th-century British dress ornament that is stored at The Cloisters and is translated to English as "I want no other."

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Ashin was born on 20 April 1982 in Raleigh, North Carolina. He earned his undergraduate degree at Hampshire College, where he lived with Daniel Lopatin (later of Oneohtrix Point Never). After college, Ashin lived briefly in New York City and Chicago before establishing his home in Brooklyn. He briefly enrolled in a Master’s program in Clinical Psychology but dropped out in order to focus on his music.

paragraph: Ashin's debut album and the subsequent "Body EP" were recorded at home. Additionally, although it was never heard by the public before a one-time performance in 2016, Ashin recorded a “lost” album. Written during the winter of 2011-12 between “Body EP” and “Anxiety”, Ashin titled the album “"kingofpop”" in a characteristic self-deprecating reference to Michael Jackson.

paragraph: Ashin's 2013 album, "Anxiety", was self-produced as well; however, Ford & Lopatin contributed to the recording in a studio. "Anxiety" received a 7.6 out of 10 on the meta-review site anydecentmusic.com. including Best New Music from Pitchfork. Gorilla vs. Bear named Anxiety as "Album of Year (so far)" in June 2013.

paragraph: In July 2013, Ashin released a single titled "On & On" as part of the Adult Swim Summer Singles series.

paragraph: Curley Culp

paragraph: Curley Culp (born March 10, 1946) is a former professional American football player. An offensive and defensive lineman, he played college football at Arizona State University, was the NCAA heavyweight wrestling champion while at ASU, and played professionally in the American Football League for the Kansas City Chiefs in 1968 and 1969, and for the National Football League Chiefs, Houston Oilers, and the Detroit Lions. He was an AFL All-Star in 1969 and a six-time AFC–NFC Pro Bowler.

paragraph: On Saturday, August 3, 2013, Culp was enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

paragraph: Section::::Collegiate career.

paragraph: Culp played at Arizona State University under legendary coach Frank Kush. He played both offensive and defensive tackle. He was drafted in the second round of the 1968 NFL Draft by the Denver Broncos.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Kansas City Chiefs.

paragraph: At 6'1" and 265 lbs, Culp was considered a bit too short for the defensive line and a bit too slow to play linebacker. He moved from Denver to Kansas City in search of a team that could properly utilize his unique talents. Culp's play as a nose tackle actually took root in Super Bowl IV. Chiefs coach, Hank Stram, in an attempt to nullify the Minnesota Vikings' quick outside rushing attack, decided to line Culp directly nose-to-nose with Vikings center, Mick Tingelhoff. The smaller Tingelhoff could not block Culp one-on-one and had to be helped by the other linemen. This freed teammates, Buck Buchanan, Willie Lanier, and other Chiefs defenders to get into the Vikings offensive backfield and shut down their running game. The effectiveness of the Chiefs' defensive game plan helped continue the growing popularity of the 3-4 scheme in the 1970s from the college to pro ranks.

paragraph: "Curley Culp was a tremendous athlete," Pro Football Hall of Fame QB, Len Dawson, said. "He had such strength and quickness. I remember Jack Rudnay used to say that every center in the league should have to go against Curley in order to know what it's like to go against the very best."

paragraph: Culp helped anchor the Kansas City defensive line. Culp spent seven seasons in Kansas City (1968–1974). He was a starting defensive tackle on the Chiefs Super Bowl IV squad and appeared in 82 games with Kansas City. A member of the Chiefs 25-Year All-Time Team, Culp played in the 1969 AFL All-Star Game and the 1971 Pro Bowl. He was twice honored as the Associated Press Defensive Player of the Week and claimed the Chiefs unofficial sack crown in 1973 with nine QB takedowns. Culp also registered five fumble recoveries in his Kansas City career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:Houston Oilers and Detroit Lions.

paragraph: When Culp arrived in Houston, Bum Phillips was the defensive coordinator for Sid Gillman at the time. He had convinced the head coach to try a 3-4 defense, employing three down linemen and four linebackers, eschewing the standard 4-3 fronts of the day. In basically an exchange of defensive tackles who had threatened to jump to the World Football League, the Oilers acquired Culp and a first-round draft choice in 1975 from the Chiefs for John Matuszak on October 22, 1974. Both Culp and Matuszak had signed contracts with the Southern California Sun and Shreveport Steamer respectively. It eventually became one of the most lopsided trades in NFL history, which was made worse for the Chiefs when the Oilers selected Robert Brazile with the draft pick.

paragraph: Culp was so strong he required two and three players to block him, opening lanes for Elvin Bethea, Gregg Bingham, Ted Washington, Sr. and later Brazile. Houston won seven of their remaining nine games after Curley came to Houston. As Phillips later said, "Curley made (the 3-4 defense) work. He made me look smart."

paragraph: Culp's finest season came in 1975. He notched 11½ sacks, a high total for a nose tackle. He won All-Pro honors and was chosen NFL Defensive Player of the Year by the Newspaper Enterprise Association and as such received the George S. Halas Trophy.

paragraph: The nose tackle position would become notorious for shortening careers. As linemen attacked Curley from every angle, injuries and age began to take their toll. Midway through the 1980 season, Culp was released and was claimed by Detroit, where he stayed an additional season, before closing out his 14-year NFL career.

paragraph: So great was his impact that the "Sporting News" named Culp to the All-Century teams of both the Kansas City and Houston/Tennessee franchises. Or more to the point, as voiced by Hall-Of-Famer center, Jim Otto of the Raiders, "Curley Culp was perhaps the strongest man I ever lined up against."

paragraph: Houston Highlight: In a September 1975 game against the San Diego Chargers, Culp scooped up a Charger fumble and rumbled 38 yards. Even though teammate Elvin Bethea yelled that Curley was going the wrong way, he managed to find the correct end zone for the only points of his NFL career. The score helped Houston beat San Diego, 33-17, and secured the Oilers' first 2-0 start since 1966. Houston finished the 1975 season with a 10-4 record.

paragraph: Section::::Collegiate Wrestling.

paragraph: Curley Culp was the heavyweight champion, and won the Gorriaran Award for scoring the most falls at the 1967 NCAA Division I championships.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: In March 2008 Kansas City Chiefs Chairman, Clark Hunt, decided that former DT Curley Culp would be the 2008 inductee into the Chiefs Hall of Fame. The 38th member of this prestigious group, Culp was enshrined into the Chiefs Hall of Fame at halftime of the Chiefs Alumni Game that fall. Culp played a total of 13 seasons in the AFL/NFL with Kansas City, Houston, and Detroit, and was selected to a total of six AFL All-Star Games or Pro Bowls.

paragraph: On August 22, 2012, Culp was named as a senior nominee for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2013. On February 2, 2013, Culp was selected as one of seven inductees into the 2013 Hall of Fame class. On August 3, 2013, Culp was officially inducted at the Enshrinement Ceremony where his bust, sculpted by Scott Myers, was unveiled.

paragraph: Lucrezia Landriani

paragraph: Lucrezia Landriani (born c. 1440) was the mistress of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan, and the mother of his renowned illegitimate daughter, Caterina Sforza, Lady of Imola, Countess of Forlì. Lucrezia had three other children by the Duke, and two by her husband.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Lucrezia was the wife of Count Gian Piero Landriani, a courtier at the ducal court and a close friend of Galeazzo Maria Sforza (24 January 1444 – 26 December 1476), son of Francesco Sforza, Duke of Milan and Bianca Maria Visconti, Duchess of Milan. Galeazzo Maria would become Duke of Milan upon the death of his father on 8 March 1466.

paragraph: Lucrezia was born in Milan around 1440; nothing further, however, is known of her early years, or her parentage. A contemporary portrait of Lucrezia painted by Domenico Veneziano, shows her to have been quite beautiful, with blonde hair, blue eyes, a high forehead, and fine features. She bore her husband Gian Piero two children and undertook their guidance and education, a son, Piero Landriani, who later became castellan of the fortress of Forlimpopoli; and a daughter, Bianca Landriani, who married Tommaso Feo, castellan of Ravaldino Castle and the brother-in-law of Caterina Sforza.

paragraph: Around 1450 she married Cristoforo Lampugnani, son of Lucrezia Visconti and Giovanni Andrea Lampugnani.

paragraph: Lucrezia became Galeazzo Maria's mistress sometime around 1460, when he was sixteen years of age, and she bore him at least four children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Carlo Sforza, Count of Magenta (1461 – 9 May 1483), married Bianca Simonetta (died 1487), by whom he had two daughters, Angela Sforza (1479–1497), and Ippolita Sforza (1481–1520). The latter married Alessandro Bentivoglio by whom she had issue, including a daughter Violante, who became the wife of "condottiero" Giovanni Paolo I Sforza, an illegitimate son of Ludovico "il Moro" Sforza by Lucrezia Crivelli.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Caterina Sforza, Lady of Imola, Countess of Forli (early 1463 – 28 May 1509), married three times.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Alessandro Sforza, Lord of Francavilla (1465–1523), married Barbara dei Conti Balbiani di Valchiavenna, by whom he had a daughter, Camilla.

paragraph: BULLET::::- Chiara Sforza (1467–1531), married firstly, Pietro, Count dal Verme di Sanguinetto, Lord of Vigevano, and secondly, Fregosino Fregoso, Lord of Novi, by whom she had issue.

paragraph: Lucrezia's children were legitimised and raised at the ducal court, alongside Galeazzo's legitimate children by his second wife Bona of Savoy. They were, however, entrusted into the care of their paternal grandmother, Bianca Maria Visconti. The most gifted, and remarkable child of Galeazzo and Lucrezia was Caterina, who was instructed in the arts of diplomacy and warfare by her grandmother. These were necessary skills in the political ambience of 15th century Italy, which was marked by intrigue, treachery, assassinations, and continuous strife, caused by the intense rivalry of the city-states and their rulers.

paragraph: On 26 December 1476, Galeazzo Maria Sforza was stabbed to death inside the church of San Stefano in Milan. His only legitimate son by Bona of Savoy, Gian Galeazzo Sforza, succeeded him as Duke of Milan.

paragraph: Lucrezia Landriani died on an unknown date.

paragraph: Themison was a native of Laodicea in Syria, and a pupil of Asclepiades of Bithynia. Nothing more is known about the events of his life except that he seems to have travelled a great deal; as he mentions Crete and Milan, apparently as an eye-witness. Neither is it certain if he ever visited Rome, though it is perhaps more probable that he did so. He differed from his teacher on several points in his old age, and became the founder of a new sect called the Methodic school ("Methodici"), which long exercised an extensive influence on medical science. He wrote several medical works, but in what language is not mentioned; of these only the titles and a few fragments remain, preserved principally by Caelius Aurelianus, for example: "Libri Periodici"; "Epistolae" in at least nine books; "Celeres Passiones" in at least two books; "Tardae Passiones" in at least two books; "Liber Salutaria"; "De Plantagine".

paragraph: He was perhaps the first physician who made use of leeches, and he is said to have been attacked with hydrophobia, and to have recovered. Eudemus and Proculus are said to have been followers () of Themison, which may only mean that they belonged to the Methodic school.

paragraph: Themison was criticized by Soranus for his cruel handling of mental patients. Among his prescriptions were darkness, restraint by chains, and deprivation of food and drink. Juvenal satirized him and suggested that he killed more patients than he cured, but whether he means this Themison or some contemporary is unknown.

paragraph: Barbara Rosenthal

paragraph: Barbara Ann Rosenthal (born 1948) is an American avant-garde artist, writer and performer. Her existential themes have contributed to contemporary art and philosophy. Her pseudonyms include "Homo Futurus," taken from the title of one of her books and ""Cassandra-on-the-Hudson,"" which alludes to "the dangerous world she envisions" while creating art in her studio and residence, located since 1998 on the Hudson River in Greenwich Village, NYC.

paragraph: Rosenthal is idiosyncratic and prolific conceptual artist. She is known for often revisiting past works, recombining old elements with new. These processes may include the use of x-rays, brain scans and clothing. Sometimes, she utilizes physical or textual elements from her journals. As a creative artist within the fields of surrealism and existentialism, Rosenthal explores her vision by engaging her subconscious. She is known for her intense introspection. and by using herself "as a guinea pig", exploring what it means to be human.

paragraph: Her personal vision evolves and changes along with advances in technology.

paragraph: As an artist, Rosenthal is known as an Old Master of New Media because of her long history in media, including photography, video, performance, projection installation, interactive, electronic and digital media, text, collage, prints, artists' books and objects. Almost all are produced in editions. Most combine camera, text and performative aspects. Elements of Rosenthal's previous body of work, "Surreal Photography" are often present.

paragraph: Section::::Education and early career.

paragraph: At age 11, Rosenthal was a weekly columnist for her town newspaper, "The Franklin Square Bulletin".

paragraph: Rosenthal attended the Brooklyn Museum Art School, studying figure drawing and painting with instructor Isaac Soyer. In 1962-64; she attended the Art Students' League, focusing on figure drawing and painting. During 1964-66 she studied Art History at New York University. She attended Carnegie-Mellon University and during her sophomore and senior years was editor of the literary-art magazine, "Patterns". In 1968-69, she spent her junior year at Temple University/Tyler School of Art in Rome, Italy, studying art and art history. She received her BFA in painting from Carnegie-Mellon in 1970. She then attended The City University of New York/City College, for education and psychology in 1970-71; Seattle Pacific College, for media and education of the gifted in 1972-73; and received her MFA in painting at The City University of New York/Queens College in 1975.

paragraph: During her years as an art student and teacher, Rosenthal supplemented her earnings as an assembly-line-painting artist; as a photojournalist stringer for "The Village Voice", "East Village Eye", and "The New York Post"; and as a go-go dancer at clubs including the famed Metropole Cafe and Club Mardi Gras in Times Square, New York City. From 1972-4, she taught printmaking and was director, set designer and lighting technician for several performances at the Lakeside School, a private high school in Seattle, Washington.

paragraph: Section::::Teaching positions and other employment.

paragraph: Rosenthal's first college teaching position was as a sabbatical replacement instructor of painting at Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri, in 1976-77. In 1982, with video pioneer Bill Creston, she founded eMediaLoft.org and .com. Since 1990, Rosenthal has taught writing as an adjunct lecturer at the College of Staten Island of The City University of New York (CUNY/CSI). Rosenthal has also taught photography, video, multi-media, painting, drawing, design, crafts and art history at other colleges, including, among those in New York, The School of Visual Arts (SVA) and Parsons School of Design, where she was editor and producer of "The College Council Faculty Affairs Newsletter". She also taught as an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Photography at SUNY/Nassau in 1994. She co-founded the Outrageous Consortium with filmmaker Margot Niederland in 2005; and founded The Museum of Modern Media in NYC, 2006.

paragraph: Section::::Activism.

paragraph: In 1986, Rosenthal became an associate of the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (WIFP). WIFP is an American nonprofit publishing organization.

paragraph: Section::::Writing.

paragraph: As a writer, Barbara Rosenthal produces aphorisms, slogans, quips, poetry, stories, novels, text-based art, artist's books, pamphlets, art criticism, reviews and essays. She has kept a journal since age eleven. The journal has itself been the subject of several international exhibitions. Most of her aphorisms concern the nature of time and reality. They are issued as "Provocation Cards", which she hands out free in performance or on the street. Her fiction, like her visual art, presents a grim world view, depicting surreal surroundings in which a lone individual faces incomprehensible situations. Rosenthal is a regular contributor to "NYArts Magazine" and is known for her principled stand against art as advocacy, which she labels "retro-garde". This sets her in opposition to many prevailing political, cultural and feminist trends in contemporary art.

paragraph: In 1982 Rosenthal became an associate member of the Women's Institute For Freedom of the Press, Washington, DC.

paragraph: Section::::Image and text art.

paragraph: Although, like many avant-garde artists, Barbara Rosenthal's work is difficult to classify, it is usually described by categories of movement or media, even though many projects fuse elements from several: conceptual photography, surreal photography, artists' books and objects, installation, performance, video, film, cartoons, text-based art, mail art, and writings (in all forms of literature and exposition).

paragraph: One important series that appears in several forms is "Homo Futurus", which comprises two artist's books of that title (one a blank book, eMediaLoft.org, 1984 and one with text and images, VSW Press, 1986), a wall work (shown at the Carlo Lamagna Gallery, 1987-88), and several print editions of various sizes. The purpose of this project has been described as lending insight into what makes us human, particularly in terms of ideals and values, and lending insight into the production of art, by citing information from the artist's own experience and practice, as well as from various news sources. Imagery consists of reproduced news photos and articles, postcards, and personal archival and family photographs, juxtaposed with Rosenthal's "Surreal Photographs". Text is edited from Rosenthal's "Journals".

paragraph: One line in the offset book is "All history, documentation, journalism, diplomacy, thought, art, culture, etc., serve only to influence behavior of single individuals at single moments." Another is "The Flaw of the Ideal Is That It Does Not Encounter Time or Touch.".

paragraph: These particular aphorisms, later designed as text-based art, also appear in Rosenthal's print suite "Provocation Cards", first issued as an anonymous Mail Art series in 1989, later as a portion of her video-performance "Lying Diary / Provocation Cards", 1990. These were later handed out during live performances called "Existential Interacts", often incorporating "Identity Theft Masks" and "Existential Button Pins". This interactive project, ongoing since 2005, has been produced in New York, 2005, Berlin, and Prague, London, Brussels and Paris. Enlarged "Provocation Cards" have also been hung as wall art at the Lucas Carrieri Gallery (Berlin, 2009). Each time, the text and the image of the text were increasingly refined.

paragraph: Two folios of "Provocation Cards Folio", with variation of configuration, and translation in English, German and French, are in the collection of the Tate Gallery, London.

paragraph: An exhibition and book launch for her project "Existential Cartoons", with drawing, photography and captions in English and Russian was held at The L Gallery for Contemporary Art in Moscow, June 2006

paragraph: Section::::Performance.

paragraph: Her performances also often mix image, text and video. Live performance, public appearances or even readings were rare for her until 2005 Her first performance/installation, "Self-Portrait Room", 1968, was not thought of as being in those genres at that time. Later, at the Tina B. Prague Contemporary Art Festival, October 2009, and again in 2010, she represented the United States in both Performance Art and Text-Based Art.

paragraph: It is in the medium of Performance Art where Rosenthal's themes of individuality, human identity and time are shared with her viewers most directly. Her performances usually mix installation, projected photographic images, text, video, mediated voice, music, and abstract sound.

paragraph: From 1976-1984, she performed in videos by placing a stationary camera in front of a single-action life situation. In 1984, she began staging such actions, although still for video, sometimes with other performers, sometimes cutting segments together, such as the 1984 piece "Colors and Auras", with poet Hannah Weiner and Sena Clara Creston, age 2. Rosenthal's famous ventriloquism video of 1988, "How Much Does The Monkey Count", was reprised in New York at CBGBs in 1991 and the Living Theater in 1992.

paragraph: From 1976-1996, she was the principal female actor in Super-8 films by Bill Creston, also producing several, seven of which were screened at The Museum of Modern Art in 1989.

paragraph: In 2005, Rosenthal crashed the Performa05 Festival in NY with "Existential Interact" wearing her image-text "Button Pin Shirts" and handing out "Provocation Cards" in front of the Guggenheim Museum and White Box Gallery in New York. This interaction (often also incorporating "Identity Theft Masks" was performed at various iconic street locations in New York[30,] Berlin[31], Prague[32], London, Brussels, Paris and Brisbane.

paragraph: The 2011 performance art annual, "Emergency Index" contains a spread about this project.) In 2013, Rosenthal began experimenting with video morphs, and included this technique in performances of "I’m Growing Up", at Grace Exhibition Space in Brooklyn, NY; and at AudioPollen in Brisbane, Australia. This project utilizes the "Identity Theft Masks", but Rosenthal herself stands immobile as a white screen on which photographs of her own changing image are projected.

paragraph: As a performer and personality, Barbara Rosenthal is known for showmanship and panache, and is described as passionate, dynamic, self-effacing, idiosyncratic, deep-thinking and absurdist. Her physical trademarks are long, wild red hair and little round rose-tinted glasses.

paragraph: Section::::Photography.

paragraph: Photography is the medium that most expresses this artist's subconscious as she apprehends reality. Particularly in her "Surreal Photography", ongoing since 1976, Barbara Rosenthal "depicts original perceptions that imply psychological narrative". The images induce "metaphors in a viewer's subconscious."

paragraph: She uses Olympus OM-1 35mm analog cameras to captures full-frame images. Until 2005 she shot only in black and white, which she hand-processed and printed in her darkroom. Since 2006, she also shoots color film. She has continued to hand-process black-and white film, sending the color film to a commercial lab, but scans and digitally prints both types of negatives.

paragraph: Of all her working styles and genres, her photographs are most readily shown in art galleries. In the past few years, she has had solo or two-person photography shows in Peanut Underground, NYC (2013); Studio Baustelle, Berlin (2013); Visual Voice Gallery, Montreal (2012); and Galerie Glass, Berlin (2011). As with all her media, she works in several forms. Her "Surreal Photography" retains its full-frame rectangle. It comprises categories she calls "Free Birds", "Renegade Horses", "Trapped Figures", "Tiny Houses", "Strange Neighborhoods", "Aberrant Trees", "Dangerous Forests", "Sinister Landscapes", "Eerie Locations", and "Dark Continents". About 200 of her "Surreal Photographs" have been published by Visual Studies Workshop Press in her offset books. Her "Conceptual Photography", which she's worked in since the early 1980s, is considered within the new media genres of New Photography or Post-photography. Her work in this genre begins in 35mm, sometimes involves distortion, and sometimes is collaged with stills from her videos, or texts, or with found imagery or other materials. From 1978-88, she also worked as a photojournalist at New York newspapers including "The New York Post" and the "Village Voice".

paragraph: Section::::Video.

paragraph: Since 1976, Barbara Rosenthal has made over 100 videos. She has worked in all formats as the technology has changed. These include 1/2" open reel, 3/4-Umatic, VHS, mini-DV and HD. As in all the media she employs, her video is "an investigation into the nature of individuality and its covalent relationships with language and culture."

paragraph: Formally, Rosenthal's work uses devices such as disruption, rhythm, repetition, manipulation of sequencing and audio tracks, decrease of interval, divisions on the screen, presentations of tension and release, relentlessness and endurance, which Australian art historian Barb Bolt refers to as Rosenthal's "choreography."

paragraph: The first works, "The Haircut" and "The Bath" began with 1/2" open reel portapak partnering with Bill Creston. In 1982, she won a Festival Prize for "Helen Webster: Cancer and Self-Discovery" at the Global Village Video Festival in New York. In 1988, her videos "Leah Gluck: Victim of the Twins Experiments" and "Women in the Camps" were shown in installation at The Jewish Museum, New York.

paragraph: Although all Rosenthal's work is presented in a straightforward manner, her video is the most deceptively simple. The videos are often very brief, and like her other works, consist of text (sometimes onscreen, and sometimes in a title pun) and/or performance and/or single-shot surreal photography, or straight-on cinematography. These images and texts come directly from observation of a real phenomenon often shot in the course of her real life. Then, if a more profound significance becomes apparent to her, they are presented without adulteration or commentary, either with or without juxtaposition of related footage to reveal a personal vision that is often considered political.

paragraph: It is this simple exposure of real, extant phenomenon, without "artistic" additions, that reveals her world view, which often seems bleak. Nevertheless, much of it contains wry humor. It is often honed and remade, with sections added and refined over the years. One such video is "Dead Heat", which premiered at her mini-retrospective at The Directors Lounge in Berlin, June 25, 2009. It is a three-minute piece consisting of four horizontal split-screen segments which were shot in different video gauges between 1987 and 2009. In each segment, a figure transverses the screen, apparently in real time, from left to right: a bird, a horse, herself, a ship. But because each takes its own time, Rosenthal repeats the transverse crossing, so they lap each other. But she has mathematically tweaked the timing, so that each figure enters the screen on frame one and leaves the screen on the final frame, simultaneously. The bird, being the fastest, repeats the traverse many times, and the ship (which was shot from her window on the Hudson), only once. The horse (ridden by one of her children across the cornfield of one of her friends) and herself (in a park in Berlin) cross at their own speed. The title, "Dead Heat", is an American pun that means a tied race, so, upon analysis, it can be understood to mean that our lives as individuals might be lived according to our own natures, but we all begin with the same first step, and we all end, together, in death.

paragraph: Despite the seriousness of her themes, most videos are presented through an absurdist perspective, revealing the difficulty of true human communication. Nevertheless, her work forces an attempt "to understand our entire species."

paragraph: Many of her early videos are receiving current attention. "Ola Writes the Alphabet" 1982, made with her daughter at age 3, was shown for several weeks in installation at the Stefan Stux Gallery, New York, August–September, 2013. Also in September, 2013, her 1979 piece, "Pregnancy Dreams / Priming a Wall" was revived by XFR-STN, the Transfer Station project at The New Museum in New York. In both segments Rosenthal is nude and 9-months pregnant. In the first part, a black and white stationary camera records her painting a wall during a radio broadcast; and in the second part, a transfer of Super-8 color film shot by Bill Creston, she reads scatological dreams from her Journal. This piece had received intense approbation when it premièred in 1980 at BACA Brooklyn Art and Culture Association, but is now acclaimed.

paragraph: Several of her videos also depict or include the Journal, including "January 10, 1986".

paragraph: Besides partnering in New York and Missouri with Bill Creston in her early videos, as well as his films, she has partnered in Berlin, Germany with DJ RoBeat for several of her videos and live performances since 2008.

paragraph: Section::::Art philosophy.

paragraph: In a videotaped 1992 panel discussion with critic Ellen Handy about art-making at The Gallery Of Contemporary Art in Fairfield, Connecticut, she enumerated many "dictums that guide [her] production: that pattern serve as color; that as few materials are used as possible; that as little space is used as possible; that there be no embellishment or superfluous element of design; that a work be visible and present new elements at every distance; that it engage a viewer differently from separate vantages; that it reach several centers of the psyche simultaneously; so a viewer is left room to freely associate; that mystery is always present; that it does not advocate; that it does not mimic past successes; that it can maintain its veracity in an imaginary room of great works; that it be available to everyone and that it be both produced and priced at lowest possible cost."

paragraph: In 2013, Rosenthal gave lectures in Melbourne, Australia at Monash University and Victorian College of the Arts entitled "Authenticity in Art" and "The Medium is NOT the Message". She said that originality should be prized, and artists not adopt anyone else's style; that "art expresses an individual's world view"; that an artist must mine their own observations and "produce work from their own soul and psyche," which is the title of her 1996 book. She also insists that content, not form or medium is what ultimately communicates a work of art, but that the work not be an illustration of an already understood empiricism, but a search toward one that can ultimately be apprehended, but is still not conscious within the artist until after the work is produced.

paragraph: Her methodology is that noting events in her Journal leads to insights which lead to ideas. She uses materials and people from her real life.

paragraph: Betty Broadbent

paragraph: Betty Broadbent (November 1, 1909 - March 28, 1983) also known as the “Tattooed Venus” was born on November 1, 1909 in Philadelphia. Broadbent’s interest in tattooing began at the early age of fourteen. It was then Broadbent met Jack Redcloud while working as a nanny in Atlantic City. Jack Redcloud first came in contact with Broadbent on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. He was covered in tattoos, which fascinated Broadbent. This fascination would lead Redcloud to introduce Betty Broadbent to his tattoo artist, Charlie Wagner. In 1927 Wagner, alongside several other tattoo artists, including: Tony Rhineagear, Joe Van Hart and Red Gibbons would tattoo a bodysuit of over 565 tattoos on Broadbent.

paragraph: Charlie Wagner was friends with the circus man Clyde Ingalls. When Ingalls discovered Broadbent’s passion for tattooing, he offered her a position at the circus. In the same year, Broadbent began exhibiting her art with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. While working at the circus, Broadbent also trained as a steer rider who would perform with circus performer Tom Mix. Later in Broadbent’s career, she learned how to ride horses and mules.

paragraph: Broadbent’s tattoos varied in theme. On Broadbent’s back, she had a tattoo of the Madonna and child. The art on her lower limbs included a tattoo of Charles Lindbergh on her right leg and a tattoo of Pancho Villa on her left. One of Broadbent’s more famous tattoos took over six sittings, a spread-eagle that stretched from one shoulder to the other. On May 3, of 1939 the New York Times would quote Broadbent stating, “It hurt something awful, but it was worth it.” While working in a sideshow in 1939, Broadbent challenged the traditional views of beauty for women during the 1930s by participating in a beauty pageant at the 1939 New York World’s Fair.

paragraph: Alongside exhibiting her art, Broadbent tattooed others herself. She worked in shops across the country including spaces located in Montreal, San Francisco and New York. In 1937, Betty Broadbent decided to take her job internationally. She spent time working for independent circuses in both New Zealand and Australia. When she returned home to the United States, she continued performing and travelling in a sideshow until 1967. It was in 1967 that Broadbent retired. Betty Broadbent is regarded as the most photographed tattooed lady of the 20th century. In 1981, Broadbent was the first person to be inducted into the Tattoo Hall of Fame. Betty Broadbent died in her sleep while living in Florida on March 28, 1983.

paragraph: Wen Yanbo (Song dynasty)

paragraph: Wen Yanbo (23 October 1006 – 16 June 1097), courtesy name Kuanfu, was a scholar-official of the Song dynasty who served four emperors over more than five decades. He was a grand councilor during Emperor Renzong's reign.

paragraph: Section::::During Emperor Renzong's reign.

paragraph: After passing the imperial examination in 1027, Wen Yanbo first became the magistrate of Yicheng County. Later he was appointed controller-general (通判) of Jiang Prefecture. Eventually he arrived in the capital Kaifeng to serve under Emperor Renzong, first as an investigating censor (監察御史) and later as a palace censor (殿中侍御史).

paragraph: In 1038, Tangut people in Song's northwestern region declared their independence, naming their state Xia (known in history as Western Xia) and invaded Song. Wen Yanbo suggested to Emperor Renzong that marshals in the front line should be given independent authorities to discipline subordinate generals for desertion and cowardice. The rule had been that marshals needed permission from the imperial court first, in order to carry out such orders. Wen argued that this rule may only be implemented during peaceful times, because during times of war, enforcement of military law and concentration of military power is of utmost importance to military commanders. Emperor Renzong took his advice and praised him.

paragraph: In 1040, Western Xia army attacked Yan Prefecture. General Liu Ping (劉平) went to reinforce the city, but was ambushed and trapped in a hill. Liu sent urgent messages asking another general Huang Dehe (黃德和) to reinforce him, but Huang was afraid and deserted in the opposite direction. As a result Liu was captured, and Huang told the emperor that Liu defected, even bribing Liu's servant to corroborate his claims. Emperor Renzong sent Wen Yanbo to Hezhong to judge the case. After careful examinations, Wen discovered the truth, but Huang, who had many "connections" in the capital, attempted to discredit Wen's findings. As a result, Emperor Renzong sent another official, Pang Ji, to re-investigate the case. Wen told Pang that he should go back as the case was already closed. Eventually Pang accepted Wen's findings and executed both Huang and Liu's servant.

paragraph: Flavius of Rouen

paragraph: Saint Flavius of Rouen, also known as Saint Filleul or Saint Flieu, was a 6th-century bishop of Rouen, the 16th in the usual sequence.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Flavius was either of Roman origin or of a Gallic family who had knowledge of Rome.

paragraph: He has sometimes been identified as governor of the palace of King Dagobert, but on chronological grounds this is clearly mistaken. He was more probably treasurer or superintendent of finances for either Childebert or Clotaire, the latter being the more likely. He became bishop of Rouen in 525, and attended the councils of Orleans of 533, 538 and 541.

paragraph: It was during his episcopate, and, as is generally held, because of his efforts, that the Abbey of Saint Peter, otherwise of Saints Peter and Paul, later the Abbey of St. Ouen (), which was founded in 535. The quantity of 6th-century objects unearthed during 19th-century excavations seem to confirm the traditional foundation date. Flavius is also said to have changed the fountain of a pagan temple to a baptistry.

paragraph: According to an ancient chronicle of Jumièges, his body was buried in "St. Peter's Basilica", which seems more likely to mean the church of the abbey he founded than the basilica of that name in Rome.

paragraph: His feast day is 23 August.

paragraph: He was formerly commemorated in Rouen by a fountain in the Rue du Baptême in the suburb of Cauchoise.

paragraph: Blasco I d'Alagona

paragraph: Blasco I Alagona or d'Alagona (died 1301), called the Elder, was an Aragonese nobleman and soldier in the service of the Kingdom of Sicily after 1285. His family was originally from Alagón. As a military commander, he was noted for his adept use of mobile infantry against heavy cavalry.

paragraph: Blasco was born in the first half of the 13th century. He probably served Peter III of Aragon (died 1285) in the conquest of Sicily (1282), since he was already established there in November 1285, when he witnessed the sale by Peter's heir, Alfonso III, of his right to Sicily to his brother James. He was entrusted with important military and administrative tasks by James. In 1291, he captured Montalto in Calabria and made its Neapolitan commander, Guidone da Primerano, a prisoner. At the end of the year, he was summoned to Aragon by James, who had succeeded Alfonso in the interim, to answer charges of embezzlement. He returned to Sicily and was preparing another campaign when he was recalled a second time to Aragon in 1294. When James renounced his claim on Sicily in the Treaty of Anagni the following year (1295), Blasco left his court without permission and returned to Sicily.

paragraph: In 1296, Frederick III, who had been proclaimed king by the Sicilians in opposition to the Treaty of Anagni, appointed Blasco a captain in the army. He took part in the king's invasion of Calabria later that year. When James returned to Sicily he left Blasco as his lieutenant in Calabria. In 1297, Blasco was recalled to Sicily under suspicion of treason but was quickly sent back. The Neapolitan admiral Roger of Lauria having occupied Catanzaro in the meantime, Blasco led a small force against the city in the latter half of September and, although outnumbered, won a major victory. In January 1299, Frederick rewarded Blasco for his service with the castle and lands of Naso, confiscated from the traitors Giovanni and Matteo Barresi.

paragraph: At the Battle of Capo d'Orlando (4 July 1299), in which Frederick's navy defeated a combined Neapolitan–Aragonese fleet trying to enforce the Treaty of Anagni, Blasco's actions were credited with saving the king's flagship. At the Battle of Falconaria (1 December 1299), he commanded the left wing and was given credit for the victory. In 1300, his infantry defeated the Neapolitan cavalry at the Battle of Gagliano (1300), capturing Walter V, Count of Brienne. The following year he died during the Siege of Messina, possibly from consuming rotten food.

paragraph: Irene Frances Taylor

paragraph: Irene Frances Taylor (17 December 1890 – 26 December 1933) was an Australian journalist and activist. She was the founder of the women's monthly magazine "Woman's World" which covered a plethora of issues providing updates on women's issues in the world, related to care of children, housekeeping, styles of fashion, physical games, musical forms, welfare activities and interviews with well known women. This magazine flourished even after her death, till 1957. She was represented on the Lyceum Club of Melbourne as a member.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Taylor was born in the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda on 17 December 1890. Her parents were Rev. Edward Taylor who was a Congregational minister, and Alice, "née" Mumford. In the initial years she was brought up in New Zealand where her parents had moved. However, she returned to Melbourne to pursue her higher education at the Presbyterian Ladies' College. She was adventurous in her youth; in 1916 she rode horseback on a twelve-day journey from Mildura to Melbourne and recorded a diary of her findings. Even later in life she pursued her interest in Australian bush life by owning a resort in Kangaroo Ground, Victoria and visited the cottage dressed in her riding suit.

paragraph: Taylor started her career in journalism with an apprenticeship as secretary to the editor of the "Sunraysia" at Mildura. She persisted with her desire to work as a professional writer by editing the journal of the Grocers' Association of Victoria. In the 1920s she edited the "Gum Tree", a journal published by the Forest League of Australia. In 1921, she established the "Australian Woman's World: A town and Country Journal for Australian Women", a monthly magazine. To make this magazine self-sustaining she sought advertisements by approaching clients personally, and the first issue of the magazine was published on 1 December 1921; it was a journal of 40 pages with illustrations and articles related to modern issues concerning women. To improve the content of the magazine she interacted with several feminist organizations in Melbourne; created subscribers for her magazine; and promoted consumer culture to fund her feminist activities. She continued to publish the journal, improving the content of articles and the presentation format; for this purpose she traveled to Papua.
