npr : Looking back at 1968
This story re-assures me in my research on the events on that year. I have begun to present new works reflecting this research, at Casa Lin and at the Freedom Tower and the upcoming Whitney Biennial.
All Things Considered, January 1, 2008 · Michele Norris talks with history professor Bruce Schulman about the importance and impact of the year 1968. Schulman calls it the year of miracles and horror, which forever changed the American landscape. And he says 1968 was actually the first year of the 1970s.
Schulman is professor of history and director of American studies at Boston University. He is also the author of The Seventies: The Great Shift in American Culture, Society and Politics.

MIAMI CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS: CREATING A SCENE
This exhibition, in multiple venues, is in conjunction of the launch of the book, Miami Contemporary Artists (www.miamicontemporaryartists.com) . There are many artists in this book, somewhere around 100, I’ll venture to guess that there are at least as many in the exhibitions.

a few thoughts
I don’t have much time to write about last Saturday; so, I’ll thank Quisqueya Henriquez for her works, in A Heap of Paradise. I was feeling a bit lousy and was nursing a headache; but her works, especially the collage and drawings on newsprints – Untitled (baseball players), made my evening. Thanks.
