Letter from Victor Ellard to John Allen Ellard, 1941
No full textFrom the Ellard-Murphree-Pilgreen-Smith Family Papers Collection. Letter from Victor Ellard to John Allen Ellard, 1941. Victor Ellard writes to his brother and his family to update them on his daily life. He discusses a wide range of topics such as squirrel hunting, his unsuccessful attempts at joining the army, his sons attending the Tupelo fair, and Mrs. Hutchinson, a neighbor who teaches at MSCW. He also describes Kolola Springs, where he and his family are living, which he says is near the Buttahatchee River.https://athenacommons.muw.edu/smithpapers/1171/thumbnail.jp
Anthony McCall: Notebooks and Conversations
No full textCharting the development of the studio practice of New York based artist Anthony McCall (b.1946), this publication features facsimile reproductions of pages from McCall's extensive archive of notebooks, which are supported by production scores and installation photographs. It was formed out of a series of discussions that took place over the last decade between McCall and the artists Graham Ellard and Stephen Johnstone.
Anthony McCall is known for his ‘solid-light’ installations, a series that he began in 1973 with his seminal Line Describing a Cone, in which a volumetric form composed of projected light slowly evolves in three-dimensional space. Since creating this ground-breaking piece, McCall has had work exhibited at museums and galleries throughout the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate; Whitney Museum of American Art; Serpentine Gallery; Centre Pompidou; Moderna Museet, Stockholm and Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin.
Examining McCall's work of the 1970s and the pieces developed since his return to making art in 2003, the conversations explore McCall's over-riding preoccupations as an artist whose work occupies a space between sculpture, cinema and drawing. In doing so, the book also narrates how McCall has transformed the way he understands his own practice, particularly in relation to notions of performance, the body, projected installation, durational structure and spectatorship.
Emphasising both the continuities and shifts in McCall's working methods in the studio over the last 40 years, Anthony McCall: Notebooks and Conversations presents unique insights into his extraordinary body of work.Contents: Introduction: Thinking in notebook form, Graham Ellard and Stephen Johnstone; Conversations - Tate Britain, London;10 September 2004; Centre Georges Pompidou, La Maison Rouge, Paris; 5 October 2004; Anthony McCall Studio, New York; 3 March 2005; Ellard and Johnstone Studio, London; 25 March 2006; Ellard and Johnstone Studio, London; 20 March 2011; Gallerie Martine Aboucaya, Paris; 22 October 2013; Flims; Performances; Slide works; Chronological list of notebooks; Biographies.About the Author: Graham Ellard and Stephen Johnstone have collaborated since 1993.

No full textJesse mentions diseases affecting Japanese prisoners, hunting animals while overseas, and Robert Young\u27s death. While he seems discouraged about the Pacific Campaign, Jesse is positive about the European Campaign from what he has heard.https://athenacommons.muw.edu/smithpapers/1440/thumbnail.jp
Letter from Sonny Boy Smith to Martha Smith; December 6, 1943
No full textFrom the Ellard-Murphree-Pilgreen-Smith Family Papers Collection. Sonny Boy Smith to Martha Smith; December 6, 1943. Sonny Boy starts off saying he\u27s made it to Maryland, noting he has new equipment. Sonny Boy mentions going on a tank problem tomorrow. He mentions crossing the Patomac via a bridge that may not hold up the tank. He also mentions being shipped out in two weeks to a port then overseas. Sonny Boy points out they got paid on the 6th, he mentions having a good co-commander. He mentions when he was home, having gone hunting for squirrel. He also mentions food from when he was home as well.https://athenacommons.muw.edu/smithpapers/1274/thumbnail.jp

UV radiation and organic matter composition shape bacterial functional diversity in sediments
No full textAbstractUV radiation and organic matter (OM) composition are known to influence the speciescomposition of bacterioplankton communities. Potential effects of UV radiation onbacterial communities residing in sediments remain completely unexplored to date.However, it has been demonstrated that UV radiation can reach the bottom of shallowwaters and wetlands and alter the OM composition of the sediment, suggesting thatUV radiation may be more important for sediment bacteria than previously anticipated.It is hypothesized here that exposure of shallow OMcontaining sediments to UVradiation induces OMsource dependant shifts in the functional composition ofsediment bacterial communities. This study therefore investigated the combinedinfluence of both UV radiation and OM composition on bacterial functional diversity inlaboratory sediments. Two different organic matter sources, labile and recalcitrantorganic matter (OM), were used and metabolic diversity was measured with BiologGN. Radiation exerted strong negative effects on the metabolic diversity in thetreatments containing recalcitrant OM, more than in treatments containing labile OM.The functional composition of the bacterial community also differed significantlybetween the treatments. Our findings demonstrate that a combined effect of UVradiation and OM composition shapes the functional composition of microbialcommunities developing in sediments, hinting that UV radiation may act as animportant sorting mechanism for bacterial communities and driver for bacterialfunctioning in shallow lakes and wetlands
