Reparative Aesthetics: Rosangela Renno and Fiona Pardington
No full textBACKGROUND: Reparative Aesthetics, curated by Susan Best, was comprised of photographs by two women artists from the southern hemisphere, contributing to what has been called the "archival turn" in contemporary art; that is, artists who bring to the fore marginal or ignored histories. Selections from two series were shown: Vulgo [Alias] (1998-99) by Brazilian artist Rosangela Renno and Ahua: A Beautiful Hesitation (2009), by New Zealander Fiona Pardington. CONTRIBUTION: The exhibition brings these two outstanding artists together to consider their distinct contributions to the 'archival turn.' The literature on the archival turn has overwhelmingly concentrated on artists from North America and Europe. Best characterises the two artists as taking a reparative approach to shameful histories: Renno transforms objectifying identification photographs of Afro-Brazilian prisoners (taken between 1920 and 1940) into powerful portraits, while Pardington redeems nineteenth-century life casts of Oceanic peoples made during the last of the so-called voyages of discovery to the southern seas. The casts were originally intended to buttress emerging theories of racial difference. SIGNIFICANCE: Research for the exhibition was supported by an Australia Council New Work grant. The exhibition was reviewed in Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art. Julie Ewington selected the show as a visual arts highlight in 2016 in the Australian Book Review. She described it as "a poignant pairing of artists from Brazil and New Zealand by art historian Susan Best, in a model of curatorial decisiveness." The research also resulted in a book published by Bloomsbury in 2016.No Full Tex
Commune de Renno
Get PDFLes travaux conduits à Renno ont permis de récupérer deux morceaux d’une statue-menhir trouvée par un ouvrier, le 15 juin 1906, dans une carrière, au lieu-dit « Pino » et mentionnée par F. Octobon en 1931. Le monolithe avait été débité pour servir de pierre de construction, l’un de ses fragments apparaissant en façade de la remise de M. Tarsilus Susini, à Renno. L’extraction du fragment sculpté (fragment 1) de la statue-menhir a pu se faire aisément en raison de ses dimensions réduites et de ..

Experimental and Theoretical Analysis of a Linear Focus CPV/T System for Cogeneration Purposes
No full textThe knowledge of the actual energy performances of a concentrating photovoltaic and thermal (CPV/T) system with a linear focus optics, allows to evaluate the possibility of adopting this type of system for cogeneration purposes. Hence, the main aim of this paper is the design, realization, setting and modeling of a linear focus CPV/T system in the high concentration field. An experimental linear focus CPV/T plant was created in order to determine its electrical and thermal performance under different working conditions in terms of environment temperature, sunny and cloudy conditions, focal length, etc. Moreover, a theoretical model of the linear focus CPV/T system was also studied. This model evaluates the temperatures of the working fluid that flows in the cooling circuit of the CPV/T system under several operating conditions. The temperatures of the triple junction (TJ) cells, experimentally evaluated referring to different solar radiation and atmospheric conditions, were considered as the input data for the model. The values of the fluid temperature, theoretically and experimentally determined, were thus compared with good agreement. The electrical production of the CPV/T system depends generally on the TJ cell characteristics and the concentration factor, while the thermal production is above all linked to the system configuration and the direct normal irradiance (DNI) values. Hence, in this paper the electric power obtained by the linear-focus CPV/T system was evaluated referring to the cogeneration applications, and it was verified if the TJ cell and the cooling fluid reach adequate temperature levels in this type of system, in order to match the electrical and the thermal loads of a user
Experimental Comparison between Spherical and Refractive Optics in a Concentrating Photovoltaic System
No full textSince there are not standard configurations of the Concentrating Photovoltaic (CPV) systems, several types of optics are designed and analyzed. In this paper, the optical performances of a spherical mirror and a commonly used Fresnel lens of the same diameter are compared, highlighting their impact on the CPV system energy performance. First, the absolute and percentual variation trends of optical concentration factor and optical efficiency as function of the distance between each optical system and receiver are analyzed. The concentration levels obtained by means of the spherical mirror are much higher than the Fresnel lens, with maximum values of optical efficiency equal to 72.8% and 24.1%, respectively. The analysis of the concentration reduction due to a solar-tracking failure has also allowed the estimation of the acceptance angle, thus observing that the spherical mirror requires a less accurate solar tracker with respect to the Fresnel lens, especially if a secondary optics is adopted. As for the energy comparison, the spherical mirror allows increase of the Triple-Junction (TJ) cell temperature up to about 65 °C higher than the environmental temperature and to reach an electrical power of about 15 W in correspondence of a concentrated solar radiation of 470 kW/m2. Finally, the deviation between the cumulative electric energy produced by the TJ cell in the cases of correct and incorrect solar tracking and for the configurations with and without secondary optics has been also evaluated for both the optics. The equations experimentally obtained in this paper represent a more accurate tool to describe the physical phenomenon in comparison with the equations theoretically obtained for similar CPV systems. The results can be used to design a real CPV system that adopts a Fresnel lens or a spherical mirror.
