Susan Ciabciolo When buildings meet the sky vol.1

with play by Anndrea Diodati
she stories of the sky

let us follow she,who dances to keep the fire of females alive,to the world beyond so high in the sky,where we witness moon maiden trabsform to moon mother with the changing tides of lady time,where we meet the ladies of the sky who dream children awake,where we find watchers and see-ers who cry rain to purify man's hatred,where we learn of aky children's wisdoms and discover lady love's abundant blessing.

Ideology as Taro Okamoto

今までは伝統というものを、パティキュラーな狭いものと考えてました。京都の伝統、薩摩の伝統、少しひろがって日本の伝統、東洋の伝統、それに対立する西洋の伝統というふうに、人種とか国境、民族、そういう枠で過去を截断し、局限して捉えようとしたのです。
ひらかれた世界性に対して、閉された枠、制約。そういうものによって局限された世界、特殊性を受けついでゆくのが伝統であり、「現在」は、反対に無限にひらかれた世界の可能性にたたされている、というのが伝統とか現代文化に対する一般的な考え方でした。
だが、実はそうじゃない。私がいいたいのは逆だ。今日、過去の方は非常に広大に、全世界的に広がってきています。・・・・・・民族とか国境とかいう狭い枠をぬきにして、すべて現在的な感動、今日の血肉となっている過去、現在的な感動をもってわれわれが関心をもつすべては、われわれの受けた遺産です。そしてこの遺産は、その受けるものの分量において無限にうちひらかれているのです。

Art Forum

Artforum was founded in 1962 in San Francisco by John P. Irwin, Jr. The magazine moved to Los Angeles in 1965 before settling in New York in 1967, where it maintains offices today. The move to New York roughly coincided with a shift in the style of work championed by the magazine, moving away from late Modernism and towardsMinimal Art and Conceptual Art and providing a platform for artists such as Robert Smithson, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt and others. Sister magazine Bookforum was started in 1994.
