Academic literature on the topic 'Sculpture, Venezuelan'

A new species of Venezuelan whip scorpions belonging to the genus Mastigoproctus Pocock is herein described from Bolivar state. This new species mainly differs from the Venezuelan Mastigoproctus formidabilis Hirst, and the Colombian Mastigoproctus colombianus Mello-Leitão in male pedipalp sculpture and proportions as well as in female genitalia. Now, Mastigoproctus is represented in Venezuela by two apparently very related species.

The study of Nicaraguan land snails is fragmentary. Recent sampling produced specimens of an undetermined species of Pseudopeas Putzeys, 1899. This genus was segregated from Opeas Albers, 1850 by reason of its prominent rib sculpture and later re-de- scribed by Pilsbry (1906) for the characteristic spiral sculpture of its nepi- onic whorls. Baker (1927) named a new subgenus Dysopeas for species where the spiral sculpture covers the entire shell, not only the nepionic whorls. The Nicaragua specimens show nepionic and body sculptures that precisely match descriptions and illustrations given by Pilsbry and Baker for the complex Pseudopeas/Dysopeas. Since 1999, a total of 160 specimens have been collected from El Castillo on Río San Juan, Isletas de Granada and the Universidad de las Regiones Autónomas de la Costa Caribe Nicaragüense (URACCAN) in Blue elds. Similitude with some sculpture traits and protoconch development with species of Spiraxidae, Subulinidae or Lamellaxis might cause confusion in the determination of Pseudopeas. Besides the critical protoconch sculpture and pro le, additional discriminatory di erences from these look-alikes are dimensions, sculpture pattern and crystalline structure.

La these qui suit traite de l'art public compris comme oeuvres d'art bidimensionnelles et ou tridimensionnelles, situees dans les espaces publics de la ville, determinant ou etant determines par la morphologie urbaine, et qui, de par leur caractere public, sont constitutives d'oeuvres, patrimoine de la communaute et, en derniere instance, de l'etat qui la represente. L'un des objectifs de ce travail est de decouvrir le processus plastique de quelques experiences d'art public contemporain, realisees aussi bien dans notre pays d'origine, le venezuela, comme en dehors de celui-ci. Pour l'etude de cas, nous avons choisi les villes de caracas, montreal et paris avec les oeuvres suivantes: a caracas: - amenagement dans le metro de petare. - jardin de sculptures dans le parc de l'est; - ensemble de sculptures place venezuela. A montreal: - place berri - parc de sculptures rene levesque. - jardin de sculptures, centre culturel canadien. A paris: - embalage du pont-neuf. - coeur d'honneur du palais royale - axe majeur a cergy pontoise. En fin, nous exposerons nos propre propositions d'intervention dans l'espace public, qui vont dans le sens d'une recherche attentive des demandes emanant de la vie actuelle. Nos propositions personnelles quant a elles, naissent de la necessite de traiter l'espace urbain comme support du langage plastique<br>The following thesis is dealing with public art as a bidimensional or tridimensional piece of art situated in public locations determining or being determined by urban morphology. It's public status is creating the communauty patrimony and at least state patrimony. One of the purpose of this study is to discover the process of some contemporary public art experiences located as well in my own country or abroad. For the case study we choose the towns of caracas, montreal et paris with the following works. Caracas: - intervention in the petare metro - sculpture garden in the parque del est - sculpture composition plaza venezuela. Montreal: - place berri - sculpture park rene levesque - sculpture garden centre culturel canadien paris: - pont-neuf wrapped - patio d'honneur palais royal - major axis cergy- pontoise at least we'll espace our own intervention proposals on public locations. They are taking much care of the actual life needs. Our personnal proposals are dealing with the necessity to work public spaces as the support of art works
