Spring 2012: Continued
Addressing this subject always elicits a strong emotional response from me, because for the last year I have fought along side my fellow Cooper Union community to make sure that Peter Cooper’s ideals would not be forgotten.    
Yet I do not see this as being the appropriate venue to communicate my emotional response to the issue; rather, I am going to take this opportunity to take two steps back to raise what I consider the appropriate question: Why?
We have become so entangled in trying to find a way out, to find the "silver bullet", that we fail to address the most important issues, those which are choking us and taking the life out of the Cooper Union: Why is it that a debt that has been in existence for so long has as of this year been advertised as a Critical Debt that threatens to destroy our school if not acted upon immediately? Why should we today mimic the failing higher education model which Peter Cooper's forsight saw fit to replace a century and a half ago?

The Cooper Union should not change itself to mimic America's crumbling tuition-based model, on the contrary, higher education should look to us, to our twenty first century Cooper Union model as the way forward. Education should enrich one’s life, not cripple it! 

Let us “rally around and protect” the Cooper Union, strengthen our core “and make it like a city set on a hill, that cannot be hid.” - Peter Cooper (1859)

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Spring 2012:
I have now finished my foundation year at Cooper (1st year), and I could not be more pleased. The experiences I have amassed in this first year have been many and enlightening. The work load has risen in comparison to my first semester, but my level of comfortability with the city, and the new setting as a whole, has risen proportionately, allowing for a challenging, yet bearable semester. 
Now I would like to address an issue that I feel is very important, and in all honesty, has played the primary role in shaping my first year in college; that would be the state of the Cooper Union.
(to be continued...)

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Fall/Winter 2011-12:
Cooper is an interesting place. At times I feel that I go through the day as a passenger in my own body. I am astounded by how it has become an efficient producer of work, my body that is. Its ideas of course come from me, but are produced by the machine that becomes ever-more efficient as time goes on. Work is expected. It is required. The work produced is to be scrutinized, critically warped, in mere critique. I do not mind the critiques, on the contrary, they are my most favorite of events. I benefit from hearing the opinions of the different voices that make up my classes. These emerging artists come from many different places, and although their critical constructions are not always formally refined, they are honest and clear in their content. 
           In these past couple of months, I have come to realize that the bursts of energy that have fueled my incessant fabricating must have a symbiotic origin, which I have concluded to be my living in New York. At first I was exhausted at the pace I was being asked to keep up with: studio, sustenance, Occupy, eating, not-sleeping, drinking, running, limping, jogging, observing, studio, studio... But now it supplies the energy, it gives the structure from which I can build off of. I look forward to further exploring this symbiosis with New York City. 
  To be readdressed...

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Summer of 2011:
Attended the Einhard Schule (Seligenstadt, Germany)                                                                    
- Here I was able to reconnect with my old schoolmates, and polish up my writing &#38; reading skills (German).   

Museum für Moderne Kunst: 20 Jahre Gegenwart
- Ai Wei Wei, along with Serge Spitzer, exhibited a collaborative instillation in this show. The work, Ghost Gu Coming Down the Mountain (2005-06), was very captivating in how it  interacted with the viewer. It comprised of a set of ceramic pots that had painted images on them, and as I (the viewer) moved around the instillation the images would appear, disappear and re-appear through their overlapping and my changing vantage point. This dialogue was very subtle, and took me a couple of passes around the piece to realize. The artists strongly addressed the concept of ‘multiple vantage points’ that is facilitated by instillation art, and exploited it to a very successful end.   

Schirn: Kunsthalle Frankfurt: Francesco Clemente
- At the time of my visit, the Schirn was exhibiting the work of Francesco Clemente, the center piece of which was a series of large water colors called A History of the Heart in Three Rainbows. What I found most intriguing in this show was the magnificence in which he used his medium. In the works, one could see the spectrum of water color’s usages; edges varying from soft to hard, an array of vibrant colors, and differing opacities and transparencies.

Käthe Kollwitz Museum 
- When it comes to content and execution of ideas, Käthe Kollwitz is the artist that is most influential to me. Her political awareness, targeting of pathos, and personal infusion into her work are all facets that make up the clear translator she is, and it is this aspect of her that I most wish to mirror. She effectively couples the medium and conceptual intent when composing her work, making its contents and ideas available to a very large expanse of individuals.  The museum is curated chronologically from the beginning of her career to its end. I find that this linear set up is the most effective one when displaying Kollowitz’s work because all of her works coincide with a specific moment in history, addressing many political happenings of the time.  Her engaging of the political climate, and her use of its inherent energy resulted in an extremely powerful, emotional response on my part as the viewer. These emotions parallel those found resonating in my series Ich Bin Doch Ein Heiliger Mann. Art such as that of Kollowitz’s, holds a strength that speaks to all people, a line of familiarity. I wish to create this same line, and through the use of my art, be a translator for all people. 

Tacheles Kunsthaus     
- This collective of artists displayed what I find to be one of the key aspects of Art, that being Art as an establisher of community. The interaction of creative individuals was just as much a structural component of Tacheles Kunsthaus as the cement that actually held the building together. Although it is established in the heart of Germany, Berlin, it housed an array of culturally diverse thinkers spanning from the far reaches of Asia, to the ends of South America. Following the “total art” approach of the Bauhaus school, founded in Weimar, Germany, entering Tacheles was a complete envelopment of art. All the objects that were found on the floor or on the wall, or even suspended in space were creations of the creative mind; encompassing the small market of handmade sculptures on the ground floor, to the exhibition space on the top floor, the Tacheles Kunsthaus was a brilliant and artistic wonderland.  

Die Würzburger Residenz    
- The Residenz is a beautiful testament to the strength of culture. It was built in the Austrian/Southern German Baroque style in the 18th century, and in later years minimal remodeling was done to the Neoclassical style, all of which was lost in the destruction of the palace in the second World War. After the war, the people of  Würzburg, and all of Germany, came together to reconstruct it to its original glory seeing its importance as a historical/cultural landmark.  When I exited my car to the sight of this great building I was struck with awe. Its majesty was unparalleled, as was its beauty. The palace contained many exquisite paintings done in the Neoclassical style, and sculptures that matched their majesty. 

Schloss Charlottenburg      
- This palace, located on the outskirts of Berlin, is done in the Baroque model, and presents all the beauty that comes with this 17th century style. I took great pleasure in looking at the 18th century French masterworks that the Schloss Charlottenburg held, and in materializing in my mind the courtly life that used to fill its lavish rooms.  Yet, what I found equally breathtaking, if not more, was the beautiful composition of the garden. Consisting of marble sculptures, all sorts of vegetation and flora, and sophisticated water-features, the garden was composed in a gradient that spanned from a tight symmetry, to a loose/organic compilation of fields as one moved away from the palace. Here I was able to truly enjoy the vain pleasures of abundance, and envelop myself in the charm of grandeur.
