Marvin Feldman interview, 1984 November 13 and 21
No full textThis is an interview with Marvin Feldman, FIT’s longest-serving president, whose term ran from 1971 to 1992. The interview begins with a summary of Feldman’s military background and education, followed by his early work experience for the Ford Foundation and United States government agencies. He then explains his search for college presidencies in both the private and public sectors, and how he ended up at FIT. He describes the administration, faculty, and physical plant when he joined as president, and the Institute’s evolution from a two-year community college to an institution offering a four-year baccalaureate. Feldman then delves into FIT’s interfacing with both the New York State government and various industry groups. He describes the hierarchy of FIT’s administration and its management style. Feldman goes on to explain how departments grow and develop into viable courses and majors, and gives a detailed description of the Marketing program. He discusses the growth of international fashion merchandising, and then introduces two new Master’s programs. Finally, Feldman discusses the industry’s need for trained workers and how FIT will function in the years ahead
Wild and Free: Jules Pelta Feldman on Byström Källblad’s ‘City Horses‘ at Tanz im August, Berlin
No full textBig, shiny sculptures of bellicose men – emperors, kings, or confederate soldiers – on the back of vigorous stallions are a fixture of the urban environment. A performance by the Swedish duo Byström Källblad that was part of this year’s Tanz im August, Berlin’s international festival for contemporary dance, was determined to challenge this monumental male supremacy through artistic horse play by female dancers in Berlin’s reconstructed historical Mitte. However, as the art historian Jules Pelta Feldman argues, the choreography of City Horses did not so much reclaim a female presence in the contemporary cityscape through dance, but instead undermined the very logic of public monuments, drawing fresh attention to the question of who owns the city
