LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Hello everyone,

As we release the last issue of Hayden's for 2012, we look back at on a terrific year - one of many changes. Thank you for your enthusiasm and encouraging words. We appreciate it very much.

This year, we have redesigned our website and created a section just for Hayden's available here http://elfproductions.com/haydens.html. We also have developed a new calendar for 2013 with 4 regular issues for each season. We've also been growing our company Elf Productions www.elfproductions.com, which has enabled us to offer you regular issues more often. In this issue,

we introduce Jose Garrido as our new print designer who has done our magazine layout and will be assisting with future issues.You can view our submission guidelines here http://elfproductions.com/haydens-1.pdf.

In this issue, we are happy to introduce Studio Olafur Eliasson, the very talented architecture and design firm based in Berlin, Germany that created the Rainbow Panorama at the Arhus Museum of Art. We also have new artists - Christian Beirle Gonzales, Berndnaut Smilde, Peter Gentenaar, Pat Gentenaar Torley and Tom Szasky - as well as familiar contributors - Beau Saunders, Duncan Asper, Ellyn Maybe, Jeff Scher, Macoto Murayama and Amos Hayden. We also have shared the inspiring work of Surfrider, an organization committed to keeping our oceans safe for generations to come.

We find the artists and organizations featured in here very inspiring. We hope you do too.

Thank you for your warm support.

Best,

Jan Manon

There are childhood parties where people play pin the tail on the donkeytrying to complete the physiology of the animal.

There are parties every day where people play pin the logic on the Universe.

Whole countries get so drunk they can’t find their car.

There are games of twister where natural disasters consist of people broughttogether only by chemistry,

leaving their rocket scientist diplomas in a pile of dirty looks by the sink.

There are parties where the name tag is the only thingone is certain of

doubt thisdoubt thatcufflinks

formal illusions requiredno casual banter

Just enough panic to go around twice.

One day poetry dropped from the skyand the animals grew iambic pentameter tails

and the people breathed in stars.

One day music dropped from the skyand the architecture turned symphonic

and the people breathed in harmony.

One day memory dropped from the skyand the past present and future sifted like flour

and the people breathed in wonder.

Smoke and ashas distant as two sides of the same coin.

3. Rainbow Panorama by Studio Olafur Eliasson

The simple title 'Rainbow Panorama' for this breathtaking work by Studio Olafur Eliasson belies the remarkable effect this space has on visitors and pedestrian viewers alike. This series of photographs taken on location is akin to an experiment in color, showcasing the eye-popping effect of bright colors from this aerial city view, challenging our perception of reality.

Sunlight hits drops of rain and a rainbow is born. With its bright range of colors in the sky similar to the spectrum of light, rainbows invoke immediate enthusiasm and a feeling of joie de vivre and even euphoria in most viewers. Wonder and amazement often accompany their arrival along with an inexplicable longing to reach and touch this ephemeral fabric seemingly suspended in the sky.

A vision of light, a rainbow appears for a short while and disappears. For us earthbound denizens, these shafts of lights

arcing in the sky transform our perception of the sky - its shape, proximity, depth and dimension.

Architecture involves a definition of space and creating an experience for inhabitants and visitors. Instead of having the visitor's experience be dictated solely by the eye and thus be limited to a static perspective, Olafur Eliasson has created a space that is best experienced by immersion and movement. Visitors to the Arhus Museum of Art, walking inside the Rainbow Panorama, are bathed in light with a sweeping view of the city. Pedestrian viewers walking on the city streets see these visitors as small creatures behind glass, suspended in the air above them - part-angels.

The Rainbow Panorama consists of a 150 m circular walkway constructed of 3 x 3 m panes of perfect glass free of optical illusions built using the subtractive primary colors of cyan, magenta and yellow. Akin to

a Stadtkrone or "City Crown," the Rainbow Panorama rests atop the Arhus Museum of Art and functions in its own way as both lighthouse and compass. Visitors are able to view the city through each color, enveloped in light and come to their own conclusions.

"A city is a cosmos, a site for social encounters and cohabitation. A museum is a vision machine that challenges our senses, thoughts and felt opinions. The public, you, is a barometer of the world. You mould as much as you receive."- Olafur Eliassonwww.olafureliasson.net

I wanted to feel the music of your shouldersWatch the tension of C.D. turn to 8 track

I read your nonfiction – if that’s not a crush, what is.You live twenty years away from Richie Havens turning up at a café.

I watch the liner notes of your wrists like a fortune teller.Jerome Robbins choreographs your neighborhood with a pale peony.

I heard there’s a tree in Washington Square Park dripping with handcuffs and a noose.

Phil Ochs sings of the cobwebs of contradiction Did you ever wear sandals? did you hold a megaphone?

When did you start wearing cufflinks?When’s the last time you played a Fugs song?

When’s the last time you kissed a girl who memorized Bob Dylan’s bootleg releases?

When’s the last time you used groovy as a verb?When’s the last time you hummed a Rodgers & Hart song?

When’s the last time you went to Kim’s Video and rented Hair?How many roads fork into most traveled?

The asphalt is pinstriped.1/4 of the time I don’t know what decade I’m in.

I watched you watch the parade.I’m the one who whispered in your ear “the Army/McCarthy hearings aren’t

available on DVD.”I’m in the park feeding the pigeons bread and circuses.

Come midnight, I watch Michelangelo leaning out of a helicopter – he has quite an eye for astronomy.

Every night, Lord Buckley leaves Café Wha.Every night Walt Whitman & Allen Ginsberg fly like Chagall above your

window.One night I tagged along with my flailing trampoline.

I tried to visit you like Frank O’Hara’s sun.You drew the blinds.

You took away my yellow.Suddenly a confetti of tangerines fell from the sky, labeled hand picked by

Icarus.I ate till I was sticky.

Recently, the similarities between architecture and painting have become apparent to me. Both fields have a love and awareness of light. How does light fall on and around a space? How does color bounce off objects? What is the effect of the changing light during the day and into the night on a space? What colors accentuate the feeling of expansion and which colors create the feeling of intimacy?

When you walk into a room that is carefully designed to complement the person who inhabits this space, you, the visitor, are immediately exposed to the ambience, everyday objects and the arrangement that speak to the inhabitant. The colors accentuate the mood; the objects often have both functional and sentimental value; and their placement reflect the resident's preferences. You catch a glimpse into the interior of the person's life and many times, you come away inspired.

In similar fashion, when you gaze upon a painting, a similar connection is made as the artist has created a space, often three-dimensional, that you, the viewer, are able to immediately enter and become enveloped in. The painter intentionally creates layers to produce lighting effects for contrast, emphasis and depth. This ability to direct light also focuses the viewer's gaze upon one aspect of the painting, evident most often in classical paintings by artists like Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Vermeer to Turner and Bingham. This effect can be very dramatic and compelling such as the chiaroscuro to create a three-dimensional shaded drawing or the feeling of a spotlight in a painting. More subtle applications create a diffused or filtered look from the slight halo of light behind a person's head in the afternoon light to the reflection of light off a table in a sunny room. As Edouard Manet says so aptly, "The principal person in a picture is light."

The depiction of light in a painting is also linked to the use of color. Coolness and warmth are also depicted by the use of color, showing the difference between a cold early morning and an afternoon bathed in sunlight. Immediately, the viewer also makes emotional connections affected by the sight of such colors and the creation of such scenes. For the pleinaire painters who loved to work in natural settings, observing how light changed both in nature and in cities was essential to creating any work.

The architect is also greatly affected by color choices, the spatial arrangement of objects and the texture and materials of objects, creating contrast and reflections of light that affect the ambience of different spaces and movement through them. How does this space look in the early morning light as compared to dusk? These are both sacred times for the artist who holds a paintbrush, a camera or a pencil in hand, ready to experience how light changes and affects the space in question.

For the painter, the 'room' is the canvas and you, the viewer, are invited to delve in and explore. For the architect, the 'canvas' is the room that you, the viewer, wander in and occupy. Both invite exploration and redefine your definition of space and the feelings you experience in these spaces, affected primarily by the presence of light.

Light can create a sensuous and compelling experience

as you are able to feel things physically merely through observation and movement within a 'space' of light. Its effect is powerful. Yet perhaps the most compelling aspect of light itself is its ephemeral quality and how it shifts from opaque to translucent and transparent with millions of gradations in between. Light itself is mysterious and perhaps there is nothing more glorious than to work with light.

A TREK IN THE HIMALAYAS

1.Dusk,Storms gathering.Misty woods,Guest house appears:Stony, rugged, Gurung.

Rhododendrons in the rain. Mist clouds roll through valleys. Rugged land, rugged people. Machapuchre,Like Hozomeen,With blue sky and sun,Slicing through layers of black, Gray, perception.Dusk falls.

2.Two things stand out:The first view of the whole valley as we entered TolkaWhen the trail curved out and along the open side of the ridge – A heart-breaking panorama of villages and huts and little paths Scattered over immense, steep, terraced hills and ridges,(With stacks of wood, and buffaloes, and plots of garlic, and Snot-nosed kids in the foreground)...

...And later, coming down from LandrukTowards the river and New (‘No’) BridgeWith the sky pocked with dark clouds,When it began to rain, then pour, then hail,And we decided to push on, though deadTired and hurt, and suddenly, almost to the river,The sun burst out hot and bright in the blueSky with the rain still falling and the valleySides rising up steep and rugged,Like a canyon in the desert sun, And our laughter chiming off the rocksLike the tinkle of the prayer bells,In the tiny mountain temples.

3.Annapurna loomsAbove river, path, and time.Children watch and laugh.

4.Sun gold on the mountain at dawn.Children sitting on the wall

Never heard of America,Bless themselves on my pack,A strange new God.

5.Staring up two valleys of the earth -Windows to Annapurna, the Himalayas,Three days hard climb ahead.Olympian vastness and grandeur in all.A single, blazing house cresting a longRidge on the valley’s far wall is so terribly,Terribly small.

6.Trekking at the feet of the Gods.First light on AnnapurnaLies like a spotlight,Beamed through the gapIn the fish’s tail –Machapuchre.

7.The Taulung teashop –

We cross green fieldsTo the trekkers’ trail,Leave our footprints inThe ancient trade route,Older than the mountains.

8.Sunlit ruins by the river.Train of pack horsesStanding on the bank.We move through dustClouds kicked-up by poniesRolling in the warm sand.

Small bridge underA big blue sky,Unassuming omphalosOf this steep-sidedForgotten river valleyThat the people callKhimrongkholagaon.

Our beaches and coastlines provide a backdrop for anyone who works in the creative field, be it photographers, plein air artists, graphic designers, writers, the list goes on. Picture that perfect beach day…sunny, clear blue skies, water temperature around 72 degrees, waves crashing on the sandy beach, foam and whitewash perfectly contrasting against the sea green wave. It is the best of days, except for one thing…the beach is closed.

Sadly, this scenario plays out more than one might think. In fact each year there are over 23,000 beach closures or health advisories issued due to contaminated water.

This is where the Surfrider Foundation helps. A 28-year old nonprofit founded in Malibu, California, the Surfrider Foundation and its grassroots network of volunteers fight to protect the world’s oceans, waves and beaches through a powerful activist network.

Volunteers focus these efforts around water quality, beach access, beach preservation and protecting special marine areas, and there are many ways to get involved. For those who do not live near the beach, they do what they can by changing daily habits –, eliminating single-use plastics from their lives, curbing their use of fertilizers, properly disposing of their used motor oil. They also sign up to become an official Surfrider member or follow the Foundation on Facebook and Twitter.

Then, there are the activists who take their commitment to protecting our environment a step further. These are the people who not only change their daily habits, they also attend Chapter meetings and participate in various activism endeavors, be it letter writing campaigns, speaking at hearings, attending beach cleanups, water quality testing or tabling at events.

Finally there are the activists who fully commit. They sit on the Executive Committee of a Chapter, they volunteer any time they can spare, on top of their full time jobs, school, family, and more, to fight for a cause they believe in. These people are the leaders helping inspire other activists to get more involved within their chapters. They are lifers - fully committed to helping attain healthy coasts for future generations to come.

No matter the level of commitment, Surfrider Foundation activists work together to protect the world’s oceans, waves and beaches. Protect your coastlines and waterways today. Get involved and make a difference.
