...Midwestern Contemporary Art Case Study After reading the Case 6: Midwestern Contemporary Art in your text book, prepare your case analysis based on the following. Your analysis should be 1,500-2,000 words and follow CSU-Global APA guidelines. You should also use the CSU-Global Library to find at least one credible source (scholarly/peer-reviewed) for this assignment. You are Peggy Fischer. You want to collect the $5M pledge from Peter Smith, and previous calls have gone unanswered. Your board wants to sue, but you would like to try some tactics to pressure the Smiths instead of going through with the lawsuit. You put together the following worksheet to help you plan out your influence tactics. You can make the following assumptions in preparing this worksheet: a) you are able to reach and communicate with the Smiths, b) you are focusing on what to do now rather than what you could have done to avoid the situation, and c) if the MCA board decides to sue, it will be personally embarrassing to you, with a very public acknowledgment that you could not avoid the scandal of a lawsuit. What were the goals of an original negotiation? Was your original BATNA? What was its value? What are your interests (as opposed to your position)? What are some options for mutual gain? Identify influence tactics: which ones could you use on the Smiths? What power bases do you (as Peggy Fischer) have in regards to each of the Smiths? Explain. How might you (again as Peggy Fischer)...

...them easily with indirect event like presenting them as honor guests. I think she has right position and power to reverse this resentment. After inviting them to the, they may negotiate, or get help but she didn’t choose this way. One of the ways the reach to agreement is determining who is right. In some situation rights are obvious, like the rules or laws show us directly who is right, but rights are rarely clear and situations are usually hard to standardize. To solve this dispute we can get third parties to involve this, for example; public adjudication, arbitrators. She wants to take a legal action against him but I think Fisher was not aware of other similar cases in the history much, because the exception of Philadelphia Museum of Art case was not involved such a large amount of money. Another way to resolve dispute is based on power. Common two forms of power in business are aggression, such as sabotage or physical attack and deprive the benefits for example withholding labor in strike. Whoever is more dependent has less power. Conversely whoever is more independent has more power. As we know the MCA needed some fund from his pledge to finish new building construction or not to go with...

...IMPACT OF MEDIA ON SOCIETY Media has continuously pervaded and defined society and has advanced with technology. The traditional forms of media propagation including television, newspapers, posters and mail remain as efficient as before the introduction of newer methods. Email, websites, e-zines and social online media have replaced expensive media production such as magazines and photographic paper. Media imparts and shapes society’s opinion on the subjects of politics, business, culture and sports. It reflects on the freedom of speech and freedom of expression within a country. The positive aspects of free media far outweigh the negative effects that may occur. In the case of internet based media, control is difficult. Control of the Internet has however been imposed in China. Media has the ability to bring relief to disaster prone areas while at the same time it may be responsible for nurturing prejudice against certain regions. For example, the perception that Africa is an extremely underdeveloped region although it is actually bustling with megacities. In the world of social media, gossip columns have the potential to ruin lives of individuals or boost their popularity. Advertising through modern media has led to the rise of fortune 500 companies. It has been argued that media has resulted in a generation of couch potatoes who rarely engage in outdoor activities. It has become rarer to find someone who has good handwriting since typing is now the preferred skill...

...At this day and change of time in a globally subjective, socially varied, and technologically progressing world, contemporary artists stretch their boundaries. By this means artists voice their opinions and views through art, to the wide-ranging and fast moving social backdrop of individualities, morals and politics. A good amount of portion of contemporary art today is more likely to definite a specific thought or emotion than a distinct scene or description. Whereas, this again involves the view to anticipate it, and discover their personal importance within the art, and within among themselves. There are many successful and popular contemporary artists among the world right now, where they tend to produce thousands of art pieces for many...

...Art101 Assignment 8.1: Discussion on Contemporary Art Trends (Manjares) What trends do you see in art today? Have you found art that is being produced currently that speaks to your experience? Have you found art that has engaged, informed, and changed your view? The 21st century has witnessed the growth of many technological innovations that affect everyday life, such as the Internet and satellite systems. Satart is a new type of art that is done by a satellite. There is no brush or stroke done in this type of art. I think this is a wonderful way to capture art from all around the globe. At first I thought that art was just as boring as when you watch a move that had no action, but know that I have done this course I have found that art is interesting and fun to know about. As you explore for the facts it is like building a puzzle every piece helps you understand and to appreciate art. After this course I have changed the way I see art. Now I can see what the artist felt and what he was trying to express with the colors and lines. It has made me look at art in a different way like when I see a painting I like it seems to talk to me and I reflect myself in it. I have enjoyed this course as well as all of my fellow peers. Thanks everyone I have had lots of fun!...

...in journalism and my passion for art, it was only a matter of time before I stumbled upon Emory Douglas, the revolutionary artist. He was born in 1943 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and has been a resident of California since 1951. He became the Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party in 1967, a role he held until the party disbanded in the early 1980s. During the Party’s active years he served as the art director overseeing the design and layout of the Black Panther, the Party’s weekly newspaper. Douglas's artistic talents and experience proved a powerful combination: his striking collages of photographs and his own drawings combined to create some of the era's most iconic images, like that of Newton with his signature beret and large gun set against a background of a blood-red star, which could be found blanketing neighborhoods during the 12 years the paper existed. The Black Panther Party newspaper covers were bold and graphic, using just black and one color, and either illustrated by Douglas himself or with high-contrast photographs. Douglas was trained as a commercial artist at City College of San Francisco and has been the subject of several solo exhibitions. His work has also been in numerous exhibitions about the history of the Black Panther Party, including shows at the Arts & Culture Conference of the Black Panther Party in Atlanta, GA in 2008 and “The Black Panther Rank and File” at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco in 2006. Most recently...

...According to Oxford Art Online, the Simultaneous explosions of the Australian art market in the 1990s, gained international recognition for Aboriginal Art that emerged into the contemporary Aboriginal art that appealed to White Australia's conflicting a desire for cultural reconciliation. The recognition of artistic production in Aboriginal communities across Australia enabled artists to explore themes of cultural alienation. The first wave of contemporary Aboriginal painters including Clifford Possum, Rover Thomas, Paddy Bedford and Emily Kame Kngwarreye, utilized repertoires of dots, blocks of color, with stimulating negative spaces or gestural brushstrokes to evoke the sense of a sacred, collective 'knowledge'. Collectors and museums began to actively collect contemporary Aboriginal works, whose conceptual paintings reinterpreted Australian colonial history.

...Name of Student: Name of Professor: Course Code: Date: Contemporary Art Thesis statement An analysis of contemporary artwork reveals that there is a strong relationship between contemporary art and everyday life as artists can use them for environmental and political activities. Introduction One question that most people usually ask themselves when asked about the history of arts is whether art can have a history. Yes, art has a long history, older than most if not all individuals currently living on earth. Most people think of it as being timeless because art has remained beautiful and attractive since the Old Stone Age. Individuals enjoy looking at arts for its own sake not knowing that they may have a significant meaning and the knowledge of its context inasmuch as viewers from different generations and cultures may see same artworks and interpret them differently from the previous generations. Most of the art works we see around originate from things of the past. Rarely does an artist come up with an imaginary art from vacuum (Art History, par 1). Most of them usually refer their arts by critiquing the outmoded models, borrowing some traditional techniques and methods, researching the old and forgotten stories as well as building on some timeless themes to enable them obtain new ideas (Par 3). It is very important for us to understand the historical precedent as it guides artists in obtaining context since art began from the caves by the Old Stone Age Homo sapiens....

...London art fair on 16 October 2013. Photograh: Oli Scarff/Getty Images I was one of those idiots who passed by the Banksy stall in Central Park last weekend. Like everyone else, I presumed the look-a-like canvasses to be fakes. At $60 a pop, how could they be otherwise? Except they weren't. It was another one of those now-you-see-me-now-you-don't Banksy tricks. Had I known better, I would have been thousands of dollars up. And that, I suppose, was Banksy's point: modern art is all about the dollars, something to discuss seriously with your financial adviser. I wasn't kicking myself because I missed out on an affordable Banksy. I was kicking myself because I missed out on a whopping profit. And seeing all those flash silver cars from Frieze art fair chauffeuring VIPs around London to yet another champagne reception, one can readily see his point. Contemporary art has become the purest expression of modern capitalism, embodying that irritating amoral dictum: something is worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. Over at Tate Britain, they are staging an exhibition of British iconoclasm. Beginning at the Reformation, the exhibition tells the story of art under attack, of smashed statues and defaced paintings. Originally, of course, iconoclasm was a religious phenomenon. Abraham's father, Terah, was an idol-maker from Ur. One day Terah left the young Abraham in charge of his shop, whereupon he smashed all the idols with a stick. "It was terrible," Abraham explained to his father...
