The nine percent tuition increase passed and it is expected to be enacted in the Fall 2012 semester. The campus closed for fall recess and the short-lived makeshift “occupy” encampment was broken up just three days after it began. The fall semester ended shortly thereafter.“We’re going to try to open up the lines of dialogue with the new president and the administration on our campus, but for the most part if it comes down to nothing, which is what we’re expecting, then we’re probably going to see some sort of action in March,” said Inga.

Inga was present Wednesday at the CSU Board of Trustees meeting in Long Beach despite the absence of student protesters.

“If anything positive came from the meeting it was basically (California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s) response to the board of trustees and the fact that they’re not holding the interest of the university and the public,” Inga said.

With a state budget that seems doomed in the short-run, future additional fee hikes for public education are likely and more student-held protests and demonstrations on California campuses can be expected.

The strike follows the gallery’s instruction to the guards — referred to in London as “warders,” now called “gallery assistants” – to each watch over two rooms rather than one. Warders claim this allowed a man to attack two Poussin paintings in July while the warder was in the adjoining room.

A gallery spokeswoman said: “The majority of galleries…throughout the UK, across Europe and far beyond, all employ similar systems. The National Gallery will endeavour to keep the exhibition open and fulfil its obligation to people who already have tickets for that day.”

The artist had recently been selected for the 2012 Whitney Biennial, an exhibition that he has participated in seven times in the past. He had major one-person exhibitions at the Whitney Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Louvre.

Mr. Kelley was born in 1954 in Detroit, and his childhood there provided material for many of his work. Beginning in the early 1970s, he played in the band Destroy All Monsters with Cary Loren, Niagara and Jim Shaw, producing noisy, metal- and punk-inflected music that has been an influence on generations of sound artists and noise musicians. Destroy All Monsters was recently the subject of two retrospectives, at the Prism Gallery in Los Angeles and at the Boston University Art Gallery.

“New York is the world’s art capital and its cultural ecology is unlike that of any other city,” founder Iwan Wirth said. “We are excited to expand our capabilities as a social and cultural shop in such a rich, dynamic, creative environment. Hauser & Wirth’s entire global team is delighted and honored to be able to increase our participation in the life of New York City, and to create another special destination where the public can engage the work and ideas of the artists we represent.”

The 37-year-old Gioni was promoted to associate director of the New Museum in 2010 after an organizing or helping to organize exhibitions such as the “Younger than Jesus” triennial and Urs Fischer’s ”Marguerite de Ponty,” as well as “After Nature,” which brought together a variety of art world inhabitants to form an exhibition described as a “visual poem.” Recently, he co-organized Carsten Höller’s “Experience” exhibition, and has teamed up with Maurizio Cattelan on a new pop-up gallery, opening at Anna Kustera Gallery in February.

As for the other components of the Venice Biennale, Italian composer Ivan Fedele will act as director of the music sector, while Alex Rigola will continue in his post as director of theater and Ismael Ivo will lead dance.

The Vivekananda Memorial Program for Museum Excellence is designed to foster professional exchange between the Art Institute and various museums in India. Under this four-year program, the Art Institute will serve as a resource center regarding best museum practices for museum professionals in India; will create fellowships across many different museum departments for colleagues from India; and will send a group of Art Institute staff regularly to India to conduct workshops, seminars, lectures, and courses.

The Art Institute’s relationship with India began in 1893. Concurrent with the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in that year, a congress devoted to religious dialogue–the World’s Parliament of Religions–was held in downtown Chicago at 111 South Michigan Avenue in a building that is now the home of the Art Institute of Chicago. To recognize the relationship between the Art Institute and historic and contemporary India, a much more extensive memorial was designed for the site and will be dedicated on Saturday, January 28, 2012. This partnership represents the latest chapter in a longstanding relationship between India and the Art Institute of Chicago that has included the hiring in 2007 of Madhuvanti Ghose, the Alsdorf Associate Curator of Indian, Southeast Asian, Himalayan, and Islamic Art, the Art Institute’s first curator specifically dedicated to Indian art; the opening of the Alsdorf Galleries for Indian, Southeast Asian, Himalayan, and Islamic Art in 2008; a major contemporary art installation by Indian artist Jitish Kallat, Public Notice 3 , which was on view from 2010 to 2011.
