World's oldest wall painting unearthed in Syria Thu Oct 11, 2007 11:11am EDT By Khaled Yacoub Oweis
DAMASCUS (Reuters) - French archaeologists say they have excavated an 11,000-year-old wall painting in red, black and white in northern Syria which they describe as the oldest in the world, although it resembles a modern work.
The 2-square-metre painting was found below ground at the Neolithic settlement of Djade al-Mughara on the Euphrates, northeast of the city of Aleppo, mission head Eric Coqueugniot told Reuters.
"We found another painting next to it, but that won't be excavated until next year. It is slow work," said Coqueugniot, who works at France's National Centre for Scientific Research.
Coqueugniot was referring to Swiss-German artist Paul Klee, who had links with the Bauhaus school, a main player in the German modernist movement.Rectangles dominate the ancient painting, which formed part of an adobe circular wall of a large house with a wooden roof at the 15,000-square-metre site. Excavations have been going on at the site since the early 1990s.
The painting has been recovered for now and will be moved to the Aleppo museum next year, Coqueugniot said. Its red colors came from burnt hematite rock, crushed limestone formed the white and charcoal provided black.
The world's previously known oldest painting on a constructed wall was found in Turkey but came 1,500 years after the one at Djade al-Mughara, according to Science magazine.
The inhabitants of Djade al-Mughara lived off hunting and wild plants. They resembled modern day humans in looks but did not know agriculture or domestication, Coqueugniot said.
"There was a purpose in having the painting in what looked like a communal house, but we don't know it. The village was later abandoned and the house stuffed with mud," he said.A large number of flints and weapons have been found at the site as well as human skeletons buried under houses.
"This site is one of several Neolithic villages in modern day Syria and southern

Das Beckwerk: the Return of Democracy 8 Mar—28 May 2007
Under the alias “Das Beckwerk”, the Danish artist Claus Beck-Nielsen has travelled to Iraq, the US, and Iran, staging performances on the theme of democracy. Along with fellow artist Thomas Altheimer, Nielsen has campaigned to bring democracy to Iraq and spoken on the subject with government offices and diplomatic think-tanks in Washington, DC. This exhibition is an overview of these past projects, with photographs and videos of the journeys and performances that recall and recreate the originals. Two Danish actors playing the parts of Nielsen and Altheimer lead tours through the show, giving lectures and stage performances,while other actors play the parts of US leaders, coalition soldiers and Iraqis.

Zoo Art Fair Feature
Zoo Art Fair is the young, hip, more cheeky fair that runs alongside Frieze. This year, its fifth, has more international galleries showcasing works. The feeling at Zoo was that the economic meltdown meant people were looking at the art itself more, and this was where more risks were being taken resulting in a vibrant environment. That said, collectors were out in force and, with the economic crisis just a few miles away stressing out city workers, artists and gallery owners didn't seem to be worrying.

Thom Corn is an artist, actor, and drummer whose work has been exhibited in New York City since 1981, when his one-person exhibition The Fear of Man was shown at the seminal South Bronx Gallery, Fashion Moda. In 1985, Thom organized the first Democracy at Work group exhibition, a responsive alternative to the dearth of cultural and gender inclusiveness in the New York gallery scene of the time, which featured the work of over 100 artists at 22 Wooster Gallery. Versions of Democracy at Work were subsequently mounted at the Longwood Arts Gallery in the Bronx (sponsored by the Bronx Council on the Arts) and at the Max Fish Gallery in the original Planet Ludlow. ... more.

Thom Corn
I began my first woven pieces back in 1982. At that time I wanted to recycle various materials accumulated in my studio--a kind of variant on the "found art" aesthetic. As I worked out my formula I became conscious of blending high and low artistic approaches and on another level--commenting about gender and work in western society and culture. I became aware of the Dogon people of Mali, West Africa and their systems of initiation. Men would weave cloth, and women would spin thread. The resulting clothing covered and protected--the fabric of civilization was artfully expressed, the checkerboard of warp and weft being a gridded symbol of positive human interaction. Fields and villages were constructed with the same grid system.

The Foundation, Its Mission and Legacy
The Nathan Cummings Foundation is rooted in the Jewish tradition and committed to democratic values and social justice, including fairness, diversity, and community. We seek to build a socially and economically just society that values nature and protects the ecological balance for future generations; promotes humane health care; and fosters arts and culture that enriches communities.
The Foundation owes its existence and inspiration to Nathan Cummings, who rose from impoverished beginnings to become the founder and guiding force of the Sara Lee Corporation. He inherited a spirit of sharing and a sense of community from his immigrant parents and transmitted these values to his children and grandchildren, who now contribute their time and energy to the Foundation.
