At the centerpiece of this display is a selection of elegant elevations executed for Pope by the artist Angelo Magnanti. These large-scale architectural drawings, shown together for the first time, were presented in 1935 to the Frick's first director, Frederick Mortimer Clapp, in honor of the museum's opening.

They offer insights into Pope's vision for the series of new rooms that have since become favored galleries and contemplative spaces.
A floor plan accompanied by archival and new photography elucidates the most significant alterations to The Frick Collection's interior and, together with the drawings, tells the story of transforming the once-private mansion into a public museum.

Embodying the Holy sheds light on parallels between the Western and Eastern sacred traditions in function, subject matter, composition, and story telling strategies, pairing some 63 icons from The Museum of Russian Icons, Clinton, Massachusetts, and private collections, with 26 from the Rubin Museum of Art and other collections.

Whether Orthodox icon paintings, iconostases, and crucifixes or Buddhist thangkas, reliquaries, and stupas, all the works on view are essentially functional objects, created to be used in ritual and devotion.

The hotel Capanna Edelweiss is just like this: situated in the forest of Tarvisio, this facility is reflected in the waters of the lower lake of Fusine, surrounded by the Julian Alps. Capanna Edelweiss was built in the 1930s but has been recently renovated, equipping the hotel with all modern comforts but keeping unchanged its original wooden structure and, above all, its authentic charm.

This family-run hotel, open all year round, provides its guests with seven bedrooms, equipped with wireless Internet connection, furnished with a rustic style that helps in offering a warm welcome. Moreover, Capanna Edelweiss is equipped with a restaurant that proposes traditional local dishes based on recipes handed down the generations.

The cooking of this area is that typical of mountain cooking: enriched by all kinds of herbs, fruit and mushrooms, it will meet the tastes of those who love authentic flavours and high quality products.

In winter, Capanna Edelweiss is an excellent starting point to enjoy the services offered by the Tarvisio district. Here, in fact, you will find cross-country skiing tracks across the surrounding woods, ski-mountaineering routes in the amphitheatre of Mangart (one of the highest mountains of the Julian Alps), and, not very far away, many ski runs in the shadow of the enchanting village on the top of Mount Lussari.

Therefore, Capanna Edelweiss is the ideal destination for those wishing to spend a holiday in contact with nature in a simple and cosy environment.

If you have never visited this area of Europe, you are missing a visual and culinary delight.

Nature fans must not miss a visit to the Quadris nature reserve, in Fagagna, a centre for the repopulation of the white stork: the reserve already houses a large group of permanent specimens and aims at including the area among the destinations and stopovers of the migration of these birds.
Tradition lovers can visit the museum of rural life of Cjase Cocel, an ecomuseum founded to preserve and set off the memory of the place and of its people and housed in a rural residence of the 17th century. The rooms of the house of old times, the objects and the tools that are kept there tell the visitor about the daily life and the work of the countrymen from the end of the 19th century until the 1950s.

Another wine unique to Greece, Retsina (Domaine Vassilou/Nemeion Estate), invokes a fragrance of pine trees and can quench one’s thirst in the midst of steamy day along with some tasty appetizer of octopus.

As for reds, again at Domaine Spiropoulos Prfyros 2006, G’aia Estate 2006 (Agirgitiko), and Domaine Harlaftis Reserve Nemea 2001 and then there's the full-bodied, complex but smoothe Hgemon Grand reserve 2004 plus a lighter, but tasty Tempranillo 2006 by Ktima Pavlidis.

Clearly labeled, and effectively organized, the 130 objects form a rare view of life in Egypt during the era of Pharaohs and pyramids (1555 B.C. – 1305 B.C.).

The artifacts include a newly discovered chariot of Tutankhamun. A sleek, light wood frame suggests it was used by the young king for hunting expeditions.

Because these items can easily succumb to the vagaries of light and air, this exhibition offers a remarkable opportunity to experience an ancient era.

Because many of you are already familiar with EOD's contributions to our remembrance of dance, I know you will appreciate our deepening concern about safeguarding all the EOD elements for public consumption.

Our goal is to systematically assess, inventory and prepare the complete EOD Archive for public access within three years.

Produced during the “dance boom,” EOD captured an era of enormous change: Institutionalization of the arts, gender politics, multi-culturalism, regional dance and the NEA “culture wars.” Our content unites dance and related arts issues with educational, historical and social themes, which makes it a provocative guide for educators and the public.

More than 40% of the EOD Video Archive includes African-American and Latino artists and themes not documented elsewhere. The strong concentration of programs focused on minority artists, dancers with AIDS and under-documented contributors no longer living, underscores its historical and educational appeal.

Praised by The NY Times as “one of the liveliest and most intelligent programs on the arts,” EOD produced a wealth of unexposed primary source information yet to be scrutinized by the public.

We ask you to dip into your pockets of generosity and help us rescue this archive. The Robert Sterling Clark Foundation awarded EYE ON DANCE a $40,000 grant to launch the EOD Legacy Project and your support is crucial to this venture.

Please direct your tax-deductible contributions to: EYE ON DANCE, 123 W. 18 Street 7th Floor, NY NY 10011.
