Cocktail Hour, Gregory and Watts
No full textFor Art Month Gregory and Watts have created a series of videos and paintings unpacking the complexity of the simple cocktail. As the cocktail sees a slow revival thanks to Mad Men and Hipsters they ask what’s so important about a cocktail? The performance of making and drinking cocktails is one of the many rituals of class, in fact that functions all the more through the contemporary mask of irony. This knowledge functions even through denial (“I don’t know how to make a Manhattan”) particularly in art where artists are still expected to pretend their field isn’t elitist. Gregory and Watts make and drink a series of cocktails to unmask the myth of their own position as well as the myths/history/ideology of the sites in which they make them. For example Cosmopolitan The Block situates the making and the drinking of the Sex and the City “girls favourite drink” in the newly gentrified Redfern area. The Block, once was an area of Aboriginal managed housing but it has recently been sold off. What are the complicated interests and histories running through the site that can lead to two artists, surrounded by “alcohol is prohibited” signs, to make a Cosmopolitan

Theodore Watts-Dunton
No full textTheodore Watts-Dunton was known primarily as a literary critic for the Athenaeum and Encyclopaedia Britannica, for his romantic writing about the Romani people of England and Wales in poetry and prose fiction, and for his literary and artistic friendships, in particular his long-time support and companionship to the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne. While successful in his own lifetime, his work has fallen out of favour and is no longer generally well-known

G.F. Watts, Physical Energy, Sculpture & Site
No full textMonograph on Watts\u27s sculptural theories and practice with particular emphasis on Physical Energy which epitomises his plans for independently -conceived public monuments. The significance of Watts departure from contemporary sculptural norms in developing non-naturalistic form and surface has never been adequately accounted for. The book relates this idiosyncratic approach to new evidence and interpretation of the influence of archaeological and cultural factors, classical philology and relevant developments in European sculpture. The book is planned to coincide with the centenary of the siting of Physical Energy in Kensington Gardens. This colossal, uncommissioned bronze also exists in two other versions in two other locations and its ideological and aesthetic significance has led to strongly polarised critical responses. The problematic aspects of this work are examined in detail and related to wider issues impacting on 19th and 20th century public art, sculptural reproduction and the problematic status of monuments in a multi-cultural context.
Folder 9, Newcomb, Susan E. Reynolds, loose leaves, 1870
No full textAnne Watts Baker collected the Newcomb diaries and other material pertaining to the Reynolds and Matthews families of Shackelford County, Texas.Born in Mansfield, Connecticut, Samuel Pierce Newcomb (1839-1870) moved to Missouri in 1855 and then Texas the next year. As an organizer of Stephens County in 1860, Samuel served as the first county clerk. In 1862 he married Susan Emily Reynolds (b. 1848), with whom he had one child. Samuel fought for the Confederate Army during the Civil War and in 1864 he joined the state militia to protect the frontier from Native Americans raids. The Newcombs moved to Fort Davis in Stephens County, Texas, where Samuel helped establish the school at which he taught in 1865. Following the war, the family built a home near Stone Ranch, where they had lived with Susan’s family. Samuel founded a general store near Fort Griffin before dying of measles in 1870. Following her husband’s death, Susan lived with her parents in Weatherford and traveled to Missouri. She would later marry would later marry Nathan L. Bartholomew.--Hunt, William R.

Paul Watts
No full textW 4 gravity is treated algebraically, represented by a set of transformations on classical fields. The Ward identities of the theory are determined by requiring the algebra to close. The general forms for the anomalies are found by looking for solutions to the Wess-Zumino consistency conditions, and some specific cases are considered. PACS-95: 11.25.Hf 11.30.Ly MSC-91: 81T40 81T50 Keywords: W-algebras, anomalies, Ward identities 1 E-mail: [email protected], Tel: +353-1-6140148, Fax: +353-1-6680561, Home Page: http://www.stp.dias.ie/~watts 1 Introduction Since conformal symmetries play such a large role in modern physics, it may be of some interest to see to what degree such symmetries may be extended. One such extension to consider is the role of W-algebras in 2-dimensional physics [1]. A WN algebra is, simply put, any consistent algebra which contains the Virasoro algebra, as well as a tower of Virasoro-primary currents such that N is the highest conformal weight. In general, for..
