| 释义 |
The Art In Embassies Program (AIEP) is a public-private partnership that promotes cultural diplomacy through exhibitions, permanent collections, site-specific commissions and two-way artist exchanges in more than 200 U.S. Embassies and Consulates around the world.[1] Through art, international audiences gain a sense of the quality, scope, and diversity of American and host country art and culture. Initiated by President John Kennedy in 1963, the program is funded by the U.S. Department of State.[2] Virginia Shore is the Chief Curator.[3] Exhibition planningThe amount of money allotted for art in each building is calculated with a formula based on the gross square footage.[4] AIEP's curatorial team develops thematic exhibitions in collaboration with each ambassador, taking into account the host country's artistic traditions and cultural mores. They recommend artists and works of art, negotiate all loans, and propose placement of the art within the embassy residences. After all loans are secured and the art insured, AIE's registrars coordinate with professional art handlers for the assembly, packing, crating and safe shipment of each exhibition to post.[4] Since 1963, approximately 10,000 pieces of art have been placed in ambassador residences, embassies, and consulates throughout the world, including work by Maya Lin, Jeff Koons,[5] Ellsworth Kelly, Martin Puryear, Louise Bourgeois, Joel Shapiro, Benjamin Abramowitz[6] and other prestigious artists.[7] The total value of art on loan to the embassy program is estimated at $200 million.[7] Artist exchanges / Residency programsInitiated in 2002, the American Artists Abroad program was created to extend Art In Embassies' exhibitions beyond the walls of U.S. diplomatic residences into local communities. Participating American artists travel to countries where their work is exhibited and engage in a series of public cultural programming activities, such as lectures, workshops, and studio visits. Art collections by embassyBeijingThe art in Beijing cost about $800,000 but has been appraised at $30 million. [7] LondonThe program was criticized in 2013 when $1M was awarded for a sculpture at the U.S. Embassy in London.[8] The project was subsequently scrapped because the sculpture was too heavy for the planned site.[9] IslamabadIn 2014, the purchase of a $400,000 camel sculpture by artist John Baldessari was revealed in U.S. Department of State records obtained by the media.[10] United States Senator Jeff Flake raised concerns with this spending in a U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on April 21, 2015.[11] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Clinton|first1=Hillary|title=The Diplomacy of Art|url=http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/2013/02/hillary-clinton-art-embassies|website=Vanityfair.com|accessdate=30 December 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Flamini|first1=Roland|title=Using art for diplomacy: A Vibrant State Department program reaches 50|url=http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/dec/8/using-art-for-diplomacy-a-vibrant-state-department/?page=all|website=Washingtontimes.com|accessdate=30 December 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Nguyen |first1=Betty |title=Virginia Shore: Chief Curator, Art In Embassies: Excavation of Site and Citation |url=http://lacontemporary.org/virginiashore/ |accessdate=30 December 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141231022433/http://lacontemporary.org/virginiashore/ |archivedate=31 December 2014 }} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Response to ABC 7 Questions on US Department of State's Art In Embassies Program|url=http://dig.abclocal.go.com/wls/documents/052114-wls-iteam-gov-spending-q&a-doc.pdf|accessdate=30 December 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Corcoran|first1=Joe|title=Art in Embassies Makes a Splash for 50th Anniversary|url=http://www.washdiplomat.com/DPouch/2013/January/story5artembassies.html|website=Washdiplomat.com|accessdate=30 December 2014}} 6. ^{{Cite web|title = U.S. Department of State - Art in Embassies|url = http://art.state.gov/ArtistDetail.aspx?id=137324|website = art.state.gov|accessdate = 2015-06-03}} 7. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|last1=Cohen|first1=Patricia|title=Employing Art Along With Ambassadors | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/27/arts/design/27embassy.html|website=Nytimes.com|accessdate=30 December 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2517666/US-State-Department-spends-1-MILLION-single-granite-sculpture-decorate-new-embassy-London.html|title=State Department spent $1MILLION on stone sculpture for new UK embassy|date=3 December 2013|website=Mail Online|accessdate=21 January 2019}} 9. ^ {{dead link|date=January 2019}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.foxnews.com/politics/state-department-to-spend-400000-for-camel-statue-in-pakistan|title=State Department to spend $400,000 for camel statue in Pakistan|date=24 March 2015|website=Fox News|accessdate=21 January 2019}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.foreign.senate.gov/hearings/state-department-reauthorizaton-ensuring-effective-us-diplomacy-within-a-responsible-budget|title=State Department Reauthorization: Ensuring Effective U.S. Diplomacy Within A Responsible Budget - United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations|first=Download|last=Testimony|website=Foreign.senate.gov|accessdate=21 January 2019}} External links
