Description
(From 1997) Mathew Coolidge, the author of The Nevada Test Site: A Guide to America’s Nuclear Proving Ground, will present material on large scale military land use in the western United States, and will discuss a new Artist in Residence program next to a former bombing range in Wendover, Utah. Richard Misrach will discuss his 1990 proposal to convert a military bombing range in Nevada into a national park as outlined in his publication, Bravo 20: the Bombing of the American West (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1990.) Misrach has been photographing the American west for 25 years. He is the author of five books and is the recipient of four National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships and a Guggenheim Fellowship. Place: Exploring the Patterns that Connect Over the weekend of November 15 and 16 nearly 120 people attended the Center’s first Symposium. A diverse group of speakers presented their notions of place – how to define it; how it is developed, destroyed, rediscovered; its multi-sensory appeal; its relationship to time and history. The overall effect was a layering of impressions. In an attempt to collect the salient points of each presentation and to provide a critical overview, the Center is compiling a catalogue with transcriptions of part of the talks. Symposium speakers were: Robert Campbell, Laura Farabough, Leonard Hunter, David Ireland, Nathan Lyons, Jacob Needleman, Rusty Schweickart, David Sibbet, George Trakas.
