...itself has been mounted with great sensitivity to the viewer's relaxed involvement. Galleries XI and XIII have been filled with large works; in XI, a series of very powerful dark field nudes and interiors (e.g., Le Foyer, #37, or Femme Au Bain, #31); in XIII, a colored, proto-abstract landscape series. In the central room, divided by partitions, the smaller, more casual works have been mounted in groups, much as they would have appeared on the wall of a late nineteenth century room. Flowers on console tables bring out the color of those monotypes which have been reworked with...
Oklahoma City. Opposed to federal spending in the abstract, he has had no objections to it in Oklahoma. He led the drive to locate Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma near Oklahoma City; the installation has become a community of 30,000 and the state's biggest employer...
...Murder Cave. Not all environ ments contain figurative art. Buffalo's recent "Second Festival of the Arts Today," staged at the Albright-Knox Gallery (TIME, March 15), included five abstract environments. Drollest among them was the Pneumatic Garden of Eden, created by M.I.T.'s Otto Piene, in which huge, air-filled plastic tubes waved in the air like undersea coral growths in a darkened room lit at shin level by slowly flashing lights. Delicately disturbing was Lucas Samaras' Mirrored Room No. 2, part of the Albright's permanent collection. The room (see overleaf) was plated with...
...earliest was his 1962 Words; it consisted simply of random words lettered on pieces of paper that spectators were invited to staple at random onto the walls of a room. The idea, Kaprow explains now, was to create an intentionally sloppy, three-dimensional roomful of random art, in the abstract expressionist mode of the 1950s, when the wall-filling action canvases of Jackson Pollock were already being referred to as "environmental painting." Kaprow was also reviving and extending the then quiescent Dadaist tradition. One of his inspirations: the wondrous Merzbau assembled by German Dadaist Kurt Schwitters between...
...national population programs. Too often, family planning literature deals in descriptions (sensational statistics on pollution, living density, educational inadequacies) that are not significantly relevant to what may be called the "unit of persuasion," the family and the individual. People are rarely motivated to make important personal choices by abstract arguments. "A teeming population" and the possibility of toxic air and spoiled natural resources are less real than the mother's desire to remain a healthy and happy companion to her children, the closing of a nearby playground to erect an apartment building, or the prohibitive costs of higher education...
