World's oldest wall painting unearthed in Syria
Thu Oct 11, 2007 11:11am EDT
By Khaled Yacoub Oweis
DAMASCUS (Reuters) - French archaeologists say they have excavated an 11,000-year-old wall painting in
red, black and white in northern Syria which they describe as the oldest in the world, although it resembles
a modern work.
The 2-square-metre painting was found below ground at the Neolithic settlement of Djade al-Mughara
on the Euphrates, northeast of the city of Aleppo, mission head Eric Coqueugniot told Reuters.
"We found another painting next to it, but that won't be excavated until next year. It is slow work," said
Coqueugniot, who works at France's National Centre for Scientific Research.
Coqueugniot was referring to Swiss-German artist Paul Klee, who had links with the Bauhaus school,
a main player in the German modernist movement.Rectangles dominate the ancient painting, which
formed part of an adobe circular wall of a large house with a wooden roof at the 15,000-square-metre
site.
Excavations have been going on at the site since the early 1990s.
The painting has been recovered for now and will be moved to the Aleppo museum next year,
Coqueugniot said. Its red colors came from burnt hematite rock, crushed limestone formed the
white and charcoal provided black.
The world's previously known oldest painting on a constructed wall was found in Turkey but came
1,500 years after the one at Djade al-Mughara, according to Science magazine.
The inhabitants of Djade al-Mughara lived off hunting and wild plants. They resembled modern day humans
in looks but did not know agriculture or domestication, Coqueugniot said.
"There was a purpose in having the painting in what looked like a communal house, but we don't know it.
The village was later abandoned and the house stuffed with mud," he said.A large number of flints and
weapons have been found at the site as well as human skeletons buried under houses.
"This site is one of several Neolithic villages in modern day Syria and southern

Thom Corn is an artist, actor, and drummer whose work has been exhibited in New York City since 1981, when his one-person exhibition The
Fear of Man was shown at the seminal South Bronx Gallery, Fashion Moda. In 1985, Thom organized the first Democracy at Work group exhibition,
a responsive alternative to the dearth of cultural and gender inclusiveness in the New York gallery scene of the time, which featured the work of over 100 artists at 22 Wooster Gallery. Versions of Democracy at Work were subsequently mounted at the Longwood Arts Gallery in the Bronx (sponsored by the Bronx Council on the Arts) and at the Max Fish Gallery in the original Planet Ludlow. ... more.

Return to Earth: Spirit and Memory
An exhibition curated by Carol Blank
Thom Corn
I began my first woven pieces back in 1982. At that time I wanted to recycle various materials accumulated in my studio--a kind of variant on the "found art" aesthetic. As I worked out my formula I became conscious of blending high and low artistic approaches and on another level--commenting about gender and work in western society and culture. I became aware of the Dogon people of Mali, West Africa and their systems of initiation. Men would weave cloth, and women would spin thread. The resulting clothing covered and protected--the fabric of civilization was artfully expressed, the checkerboard of warp and weft being a gridded symbol of positive human interaction. Fields and villages were constructed with the same grid system.

The Foundation, Its Mission and Legacy
The Nathan Cummings Foundation is rooted in the Jewish tradition and committed to democratic values and social justice,
including fairness, diversity, and community. We seek to build a socially and economically just society that values nature
and protects the ecological balance for future generations; promotes humane health care; and fosters arts and culture
that enriches communities.
The Foundation owes its existence and inspiration to Nathan Cummings, who rose from impoverished beginnings to become
the founder and guiding force of the Sara Lee Corporation. He inherited a spirit of sharing and a sense of community from his
immigrant parents and transmitted these values to his children and grandchildren, who now contribute their time and energy
to the Foundation.

and give voice to the issues and experiences of underrepresented communities, in order to build a stronger society.

Consistent with its mission, IPCNY makes information about prints and printmaking readily available to the public both on its website and in an information facility located at the entrance of the gallery. Visitors to the space may browse through periodicals, brochures, a modest selection of print related books, and listings of local exhibitions and workshops. A New Editions file, available by appointment, contains announcements and documents from print publishers on current print editions.
Opportunities for artists are posted on IPCNY's website, as well as listings of print shows and events for the general public, and a newly posted Directory of North American Print Workshops. The separate links section includes museums, universities, publishers, workshops, auction houses and galleries worldwide.

Consider the following two-dimensional (planar) robot:
Due to symmetry, the center of mass is at the center of the body. The legs are comparatively mass-less. The joint angles, qi, are absolute, measured with respect to the body B coordinate frame. The feet make contact with the ground at points, with local coordinate axes (x1, y1) and (x2,y2).
Some preliminary setup:
- By inspection, derive the 2x2 the Jacobian matrices, J1 and J2, that relate joint velocities [w1, w 2]t and [w 3, w 4]t to foot velocities [ ]t and [ ]t
- Concatenate J1 and J2 into a 4x4 block-diagonal matrix, J, such that where
= [w 1, w 2, w 3, w 4]t and = [ ]t.
- Confirm that where = [f x1, f y1, fx2, fy2]t are the components of the contact forces at the feet and t are the joint torques.
- Forstatic equilibrium (or dynamic equilibrium following D’Alembert) we require that , and , taking forces and moments about the body center of mass, located at B. Show that we can write:
or , were F is the vector of external forces and torques on the body.
Now we are ready to consider force distribution for FlatBot on a slope:
