Veteran smallpox eradication workers will lead the Smallpox Eradication Commemoration 2010 (SEC2010) secretariat at the Emory Global Health Institute. The secretariat is launching a worldwide design competition for a smallpox eradication monument to be installed at the entrance of the WHO headquarters in Geneva.

Art vs. Marketing - Making Hazel Dooney Cringe
Barney Davey, USA>
Creativity is about expression.
Artists of all sorts whether visual, literary, musical, theatre, film, dance and beyond seek to express themselves through their art. Clearly, art and expression are part and parcel of the same package in which both are inextricably tied.
To effectively express or exhibit creativity, there must be those desirous of being exposed to creativity, to art. In other words, art needs to be shared, to be both lionized and criticized. Art needs to be accepted, or rejected and ultimately recognized by the cognoscenti, if not the public, as worthy.
White on white With monumental art, quite often the expression is bold and radical. Kasmir Malevich's groundbreaking efforts to establish feelings as supreme over objectivity in art are a case in point. The Russian painter, printmaker, decorative artist and writer's 1918 piece Suprematist Composition: White on White epitomizes his suprematist concept that helped lay the groundwork for abstract art in the 20th Century.

Three concurrent exhibitions at the Southwest School of Art and Craft embed photography in other media to ask viewers to consider – what is the truth? – and to comment on social issues such as domestic violence, the origins of Latina identity, and consumer culture. Guatemalan artist Veronica Riedel will exhibit powerful works that explore the multiple identities of Latina women through mixed media photographs, in a solo exhibition entitled The Making of a Mestiza. She obtained her BA in Photography and Cinematography from the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida.
