The first monograph on the architectural sculptor and installation
artist and long-time collaborator with the New York School poets
Best known for creating large-scale installation work inspired by
American vernacular architecture, Dennis finds beauty in places
shaped by ordinary people, which become repositories for memory and
feelings. Her seemingly familiar yet often darkly mysterious sites
evoke memories, encourage reflection, and allude to the transient
nature of life. This book contextualizes Dennis's work within
contemporary art and the women's movements and traces the arc of
her career, tracing the evolution of her architectural sculpture
over more than forty years, exploring her artistic collaborations
with poets, and presenting her most recent work, a series of
gouaches and dioramas, for the first time. A conversation between
Dennis and painter Rackstraw Downes brings to life the artist's
influences through her own words. With insightful text by feminist
art scholar Helaine Posner, plus commentary from Dennis on the
sources and process of creating the work, this book is an essential
addition to the libraries of collectors and art historians
interested in the architectural sculpture movement of the 1970s,
and all those interested in feminism in art.
This policy focus report reviews existing GHG assessment tools by
scope, scale, methodology, and policy support, and presents four
case studies illustrating how existing tools at various stages of
development have been used.
Bertha, a thirteen old teenage girl, living the South Bronx, is
having trouble dealing with everyday issues that children face in
school and just growing up. Bertha is uncoordinated, not very
pretty and has trouble doing any physical activities. Bertha has a
sister named Tillie who is very pretty, very agile and has no
problem making friends or doing all of the things that Bertha
cannot do. They are total opposites. Tillie and many of Bertha's
cousins enjoy laughing at her when she tried to ice skate; take
dancing lessons or even bowl. Bertha attempted to do all of these
things but could not. However, she is smart, sassy and has a great
sense of humor, which helps her to deal with these experiences and
others. Growing up can be difficult when you are over weight or not
really good at sports or dancing. I hope you will learn from
reading my book that you can be anything that you want to be and no
one can stop you from reaching your goals and dreams. Not everyone
is born athletic, beautiful, thin or a genius. However, every one
is smart or excellent in something whether it is drawing, jumping
rope or even running track. Who you are as a person is what makes
you special. I hope that you enjoy reading about Bertha and Tillie
and learn that there is a little bit of Bertha in everyone. My
first two books send a positive message to children. They both deal
with real life issues that children face today. Being over weight,
bullied in school, and not very pretty made life hard for me. I
know that it makes it even more difficult for children growing up
today. In Bertha Fights Back Bertha learns that following the path
of others and not being true to who you are can be costly in many
different ways.
