President Obama Signs Museum and Library
Services Act of 2010
Institute of Museum and Library Services
Share
On December 22, President Barack Obama signed the Museum and Library Services Act of 2010 into law. The act reauthorizes the existing programs of the Institute of Museum and Library Services with some important changes: updated language calls on IMLS to take an active role in research and data collection and to advise the president and Congress on museum, library, and information services. The act also clearly recognizes how
libraries and museums contribute to a competitive workforce and engaged citizenry.

Slavery Paintings Coming Down from Atlanta Office
The Associated Press via Google
Share
Murals of slaves harvesting sugar cane on a Georgia plantation and picking and ginning cotton are coming off the walls of a state building on the order of a new agriculture commissioner. The murals are part of a collection of eight works painted by George Beattie in 1956 depicting an idealized version of Georgia farming, from the corn grown by prehistoric American Indians to a twentieth-century veterinary lab. In the Deep South, the
history in between includes the forced use of slave labor.

A Triage to Save the Ruins of Babylon
The New
York Times
Share
The damage done to the ruins of ancient Babylon is visible from a small hilltop near the Tower of Babel, whose biblical importance is hard to envision from what is left of it today. Across the horizon are guard towers, concertina wire, and dirt-filled barriers among the palm trees; encroaching farms and
concrete houses from this village and others; and the enormous palace that Saddam Hussein built in the 1980s atop the city where Nebuchadnezzar II ruled. Something else is visible, too: earthen mounds concealing all that has yet to be discovered in a city that the prophet Jeremiah called "a gold cup in the Lord's hands, a cup that made the whole earth drunk."

Baby Boomers Helped Democratize Art
USA Today
Share
As cultural historians examine the influence of the Baby Boom generation, they won't find it easy to see the direct impact of the boomers in visual arts. There's some evidence that boomers attracted to
made-yesterday art that examines the world around them helped fuel the contemporary art market—and artists such as Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons—once some of them achieved substantial wealth and started buying art. Boomers also helped democratize art: they grew up believing anyone could become an artist, anyone could buy art or deal in art. Thus, by the 1960s, more young people from all backgrounds were opening up gallery spaces to show their friends' art, even if they were operating
on shoestrings.

Malcolm McLaren's Parting Words on Art,
Paris, and the Sex Pistols
ARTINFO.com
Share
In a year in which many great artists and generation-molding figures passed away, the death of Malcolm McLaren
stood out as cruelly premature, cutting short what seemed to be the legendary punk progenitor's rebirth as a visual artist. In the weeks before succumbing to cancer in April 2010 at 64, McLaren—a self-promoter extraordinaire, a raconteur with a flair for the dramatic, and, of course, a svengali—had been making the rounds in New York to herald his latest art film, Paris, Capital of the 21st Century.

Delhi Plans Tate Modern-style
Gallery in Old Power Station

The city of the Red Fort, the Jama Masjid, the Gate of India, and the twelfth-century Qutb Minar tower is to
get a new monument. A decommissioned power station in Delhi, the Indian capital, is to be converted into an art gallery modeled on London's Tate Modern. The plan has been approved by Delhi municipal authorities and could be completed in three to five years, depending on how long it takes to dismantle parts of the Indraprastha power plant beside the banks of the Yamuna River.

Move Abroad: Travels and Travails
The Chronicle of Higher Education
Share
A year ago, I moved to England to accept a teaching position at the University of Nottingham. I came as an American historian at midcareer with a family in tow. Those in other academic fields, or who are single, or looking at a position in, say, China, will very likely face circumstances quite different from my own. Nevertheless, I will try to share what general pearls of advice I have for American academics contemplating relocation
abroad.
