</span><br />Bulgarian Academy of Photography presents in The Red House:<br /><strong>Third Month of Photography<br />Theatres of Prey: Strip Clubs in America</strong>multimedia presentation by Stanislava Georgieva<br />“I once talked to their boss (a woman) who told me flat out: We sell dreams to lonely losers and horny boys that will never come true. There will never be a shortage of them.” (cited as of <a href="http://www.guyspeak.com/" pathattribute="1" style="color: #dc1900; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Tahoma, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.guyspeak.com/" style="color: #dc1900; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Tahoma, sans-serif; text-decoration: none;">http://www.guyspeak.com/</a>). These clubs are part of contemporary mainstream American culture. They are spread around the country and located at places where we least expect to come across them, like residential neighborhoods, near motels, airports, industrial areas and car shops. To show the real “glow” of the exotic bars the images are photographed during daylight when they look like ordinary houses or diners and can be seen as part of the mundane.<br />In Bulgarian.<br />Duration: 60 min.<br />Free entrance</span> </span></td></tr>

Father Serra continued to establish eight more missions and vineyards until his death in 1784 and has been called the "Father of California Wine".

</i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>California's first documented imported European wine vines were planted in Los Angeles in 1833 by Jean-Louis Vignes. In the 1850s and '60s, the colorful Agoston Harazsthy, a Hungarian soldier, merchant and promoter, made several trips to import cuttings from 165 of the greatest European vineyards to California. Some of this endeavor was at his personal expense and some through grants from the state. Overall, he introduced about 300 different grape varieties, although some were lost prior to testing, due to difficulties in preserving and handling.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>Considered the Founder of the California Wine Industry, Harazsthy contributed his enthusiasm and optimism for the future of wine, along with considerable personal effort and risk. He founded Buena Vista winery and promoted vine planting over much of Northern California. He dug extensive caves for cellaring, promoted hillside planting, fostered the idea of non-irrigated vineyards and suggested Redwood for casks when oak supplies ran low. <a href="http://www.winepros.org/">www.winepros.org</a></i></span></div><br />

All the works presented at <a href="http://immigrant-movement.us/"><span style="color: #000e94;">IM International </span></a>are collaborations among the show's participants, and reflect their immediate surroundings while creating a complex system of connections. They address issues of visibility, collectivity, crossing boundaries and overcoming limitations.

За това идеята ми не е чак толкова място домът, че няма как да се привържа, че всичкото е</span> <span style="color: red;"><b>temporary</b></span><span style="color: grey;">, така че за мен няма огромна разлика това дали съм</span> <span style="color: red;"><b>immigrant or not</b></span> <span style="color: grey;">и в</span> <span style="color: red;"><b>Bulgaria</b></span> <span style="color: grey;">беше пак такъв тип</span> <span style="color: red;"><b>temporary living</b></span><span style="color: grey;">.

Обикновенно реакцията ми е най-странна към хора, които са</span> <span style="color: red;"><b>born in New York</b></span><span style="color: grey;">, защото те са най-редките ‘животни’ тука.

Are we witnessing choice or necessity?</span></div><br />

Once there was a thing called Spring<br />
When the world was writing<br />
Verses like yours and mine<br />
All the boys and girls would sing<br />
As we sat at little tables and drank May wine<br />
Now April, May and June<br />
Seem sadly out of tune<br />
Life has stuck a pin in the balloon<br />
Spring is here, Why doesn't my heart go dancing<br />
Spring is here, why isn't the waltz entrancing<br />
No desire, no ambition leads me<br />
Maybe it's because nobody needs me<br />
Spring is here, why doesn't the breeze delight me<br />
Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me<br />
Maybe it's because nobody loves me<br />
Spring is here<br />
Spring is here<br />
Spring is here<br />
I hear </span></span></span><br />

Students in the Fine Arts Program benefit from an internationally diverse student body and a faculty of working artists committed to providing students with hands on experience in the foundations including life drawing, art history, sculpture, painting, as well as analog and digital photography. </span></span><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 16pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This exhibition represents a sample of artists who work in such diverse mediums as photography, sculpture, multi-media installation, painting and video. The artists in this exhibition are recent graduates from the School of Visual Arts, Yale University, The Art Institute of Chicago and Hunter College, as well as other four year programs. The work in this exhibition represents not just the cultural diversity of the student body but the excellence and ambition that these artists bring to their diverse mediums. The exhibition will bring to the fore conceptual rigor, visceral materiality and the narrative, all bound by artistic ambition and idiosyncratic desire.</span></span><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 16pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Inquiries should be sent to: Michael Rodriguez, Chair/Humanities Department, </span><a href="mailto:mirodriguez@lagcc.cuny.edu" style="color: #215894;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">mirodriguez@lagcc.cuny.edu</span></a></span><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 16pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <wbr></wbr> • • • •</span></span><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 16pt; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;"><span style="font-size: medium;">LaGuardia Community College located in Long Island City, Queens, was founded in 1971 as a bold experiment in opening the doors of higher education to all, and we proudly carry forward that legacy today.
