noemail@evergreenexhibitions.com — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:00:00 GMT

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION (NASA) Since its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology has also been adapted for many non-aerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view the Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. While the tremendous technical and scientific accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats, we also are humbled by the realization that Earth is just a tiny blue marble in the cosmos. www.nasa.gov.

noemail@evergreenexhibitions.com — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:00:00 GMT

What Does NASA Do? NASAs mission is to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research. To do that, thousands of people have been working around the world -- and off of it -- for almost 50 years, trying to answer some basic questions. Whats out there in space? How do we get there? What will we find? What can we learn there, or learn just by trying to get there, that will make life better here on Earth? A Little History President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1958, partially in response to the Soviet Unions launch of the first artificial satellite the previous year. NASA grew out of the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA), which had been researching flight technology for more than 40 years. President John F. Kennedy focused NASA and the nation on sending astronauts to the moon by the end of the 1960s. Through the Mercury and Gemini projects, NASA developed the...

Vatican Splendors - Vatican FAQs

noemail@evergreenexhibitions.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 21:00:00 GMT

What is the Vatican? The Vatican is an independent state located inside the city of Rome covering an area of 17 square miles. It is the home of Pope Benedict XVI, the current head of the Catholic Church worldwide. The Roman Pontiff, who resides at the Vatican, as the successor of Peter, is the perpetual and visible principle and foundation of unity of both the bishops and of the faithful. In 1984, a concordat between the Vatican and Italy modified certain of the earlier treaty provisions, including the primacy of Roman Catholicism as the Italian state religion. About one billion people worldwide profess the Catholic faith. Who lives there? In addition to the pope, there are 400 residents including the Swiss Guard. How long has Vatican City State existed? While many of the properties were built centuries ago (during the existence of the Papal States, ended in 1870), including the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican only became a state in 1929 when the...

CHICANO VISIONS: CURATOR'S BIO

noemail@evergreenexhibitions.com — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 22:00:00 GMT

    René Yañez - curator, artist, writer and producer - will curate the art exhibition Chicano Visions: American Painters on the Verge throughout the national tour traveling to major cities across the country. Chicano Visions is a traditional art exhibition that showcases 26 of the top Chicano artists’ interpretations of visual arts, mostly in oil or acrylic paintings on canvas.
    Yañez, founder and former Artistic Director of San Francisco’s Galeria de la Raza, was one of the first curators to introduce the contemporary concept of Mexico’s Day of the Dead to the United States with Rooms for the Dead and Labyrinth for the Dead at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Active as both a visual and performance arts curator and artist, Yañez co-founded the successful Chicano performance trio Culture Clash. In 1998, he received the “Special Trustees Award in Cultural Leadership” from the San Francisco Foundation for his long-standing contribution to the cultural life of the Bay Area.
    Yañez has curated numerous exhibitions including, Gronk: A Living Survey at The Mexican Museum in 1992 and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1993 and Burning Dreams: Selected Works of Carlos Almaraz at The Mexican Museum in 1993. In addition, he also curated international exhibitions at Bellas Artes and Lotería Nacional Gallery in Mexico City.
    As a Rockefeller Fellow in 1974, Yañez held an apprenticeship at the De Young Museum and was subsequently curator of traveling exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1975. He was a founding board member of the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery, where he served for eight years and has been on numerous panels both for the California Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts. Yañez has been a Master Teacher for the National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts and is currently teaching at New College of California in San Francisco, where he lives.

Estudió en la Universidad de California en Los Ángeles y luego obtuvo una maestría en Bellas Artes del Otis College of Art and Design en 1974. En 1973, Almaraz y tres artistas más fundaron Los Four, un grupo local de arte colectivo que hizo que el arte callejero chicano se conociera en la comunidad artística de Los Ángeles. Durante tres años, Almaraz trabajó para César Chávez y la Unión de Campesinos Unidos (United Farmworkers Union), creando murales, carteles y otras obras de arte. Su gran mural “Boycott Gallo” en el centro All Nations Center en el Este de Los Ángeles se convirtió en un monumento histórico dentro de la comunidad, antes de su destrucción a fines de la década de 1980.

El Movimiento Chicano

noemail@evergreenexhibitions.com — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 21:00:00 GMT

La clave para entender la experiencia chicana hoy, es saber que la herencia cultural de aquellos con origen méxico-americano se remonta cientos de años atrás y posee influencias europeas, indias y africanas. Para muchos, sus raíces ancestrales en el suelo norteamericano anteceden al arribo del famoso barco Mayflower. El Movimiento Chicano por los Derechos Civiles de la década del 70 no sólo buscaba la justicia social y la igualdad para los méxico-americanos, sino que también reclamaba y educaba a la población acerca de su rica herencia cultural. Por lo tanto, no se podría realizar una descripción unívoca y simplista sobre la experiencia chicana, de la misma manera que una sola historia podría describir con propiedad la experiencia de ningún grupo étnico de los Estados Unidos. El mundo chicano es diverso, complejo y dinámico. Puede decirse que el Movimiento Chicano ha estado fomentándose desde el...

CHICANO VISIONS - ARTISTS PROFILES

noemail@evergreenexhibitions.com — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 14:45:00 GMT

Carlos Almaráz Carlos Almaráz was born in Mexico City in 1949 and grew up in Chicago and Los Angeles. He studied at the University of California, Los Angeles, then earned a master’s degree in fine arts from Otis College of Art and Design in 1974. In 1973, Almaráz and three other artists founded Los Four, a local art collective whose collaborations brought Chicano street art to the attention of the mainstream art community of Los Angeles. For three years, Almaráz worked for César Chávez and the United Farmworkers Union, painting murals, banners and other artworks. His large “Boycott Gallo” mural on the All Nations Center in East Los Angeles was a community landmark before its destruction during the late 1980s. Almaráz constantly drew, wrote poems and philosophical ideas in notebooks, and over a period of 25 years, amassed 50 such books. In them, one can see compositions worked on and the evolution of his distinct lexicon of...

THE CHICANO MOVEMENT

noemail@evergreenexhibitions.com — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 14:00:00 GMT

The key to understanding the Chicano experience today is to know that the heritage of people of Mexican ancestry in the United States stretches back thousands of years and includes European, Indian and African influences. For many, their ancestral roots on American soil predate the arrival of the Mayflower. The Chicano Civil Rights Movement of the 1970s not only sought social justice and equality for Mexican-Americans, but also sought to reclaim and educate people of their rich heritage. No single story or definition neatly depicts the Chicano experience, just as no one story can capture the heart and soul of any group in the United States. The Chicano experience is diverse, complex and dynamic. It can be said that the Chicano Movement has been fomenting since the end of the U.S.- Mexican War in 1848, when the current U.S-Mexican border took form and hundreds of thousands of Mexicans became U.S. citizens overnight. Since that time, countless Chicanos and Chicanas have confronted...

CHEECH MARIN - BIO

noemail@evergreenexhibitions.com — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 14:00:00 GMT

Best known as one half of the hilariously irreverent, satirical, counter-culture, no-holds-barred duo ‘Cheech and Chong,’ Cheech Marin is a paradox in the world of entertainment. Cheech is an actor, director, writer, musician, art collector and humanitarian, a man who has enough talent, humor, and intelligence to do just about anything. As a multi-generational star -- or as Cheech jests, People know me from the womb to the tomb. To this day, ‘Cheech and Chong’ films are the number one weekend video rentals. Currently Cheech is in production on THE THIRD MIRACLE (Mandalay Entertainment) about a failed baseball coach who takes a local Little League team of dirt-poor kids in Mexico to the Little League World Series in 1957. Cheech was last seen in the Disney/PIXAR animated feature film CARS where he provided the voice of Ramone. When Hollywood is not monopolizing his time, Cheech is busy promoting CHICANO, his vision of Chicano art and expression as brought...
