In this oral history interview, Vija Celmins discusses her life in California, including her background and her first show at UCLA after her graduation. Celmins also talks about her perception of her own art style. The interview was conducted by Andrew Perchuck and Rani Singh in New York, New York on February 10, 2011.
The Getty Research Institute (GRI) hosted events and conducted oral histories inspired by the "Modern Art in Los Angeles" theme beginning in 2003. Much of the GRI's Modern Art in Los Angeles activities were incorporated into the Getty's larger initiative, "Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A.," which focused on postwar art (1945-1980) in Los Angeles.

On view at LACMA from March 13-June 5, 2011, Vija Celmins: Television and Disaster 1964--1966 explores an essential and often overlooked period of the artist's work. Celmins is best known as a painter of refined representational images—including night skies, ocean waves and spider webs. However, the images that first grounded her interest as a young artist in Los Angeles in the 1960s are characterized by violent themes such as crashing warplanes, smoking handguns, and other images of death and disaster influenced by the violence of the era and the mass media that represented it.
This is the first exhibition to concentrate on the Celmins's early paintings and sculptures, made during a three-year period that laid the technical and thematic groundwork for her future as an artist.
Vija Celmins was born in 1938 in Riga, Latvia, and fled with her family to Germany in advance of the Soviet army's invasion in 1944. Migrating to the United States in 1948, the family settled in Indianapolis, where Celmins grew up and studied art. In 1962, she moved to the West Coast to attend graduate school at the University of California, Los Angeles. She has lived and worked primarily in New York since 1981.
This exhibition is co-organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Menil Collection, Houston.
The Los Angeles presentation was made possible in part by Laura and Jim Maslon.

In this episode Vija Celmins speaks about her two drawings in the exhibition De-Natured: Works from the Anderson Collection; on view at the San Jose Museum of Art October 13, 2007 - January 6, 2008.
The San Jose Museum of Art is pleased to offer this audio tour to compliment your visit to the exhibition De-Natured: Works from the Anderson Art Collection. In it you will hear commentary by curator Heather Green, interviews with several of the artists in the exhibition, and insight into the collection provided by Harry W. Anderson himself.
Broadly defined, to denature is to change the character or condition of something. In the milieu of contemporary painting, sculpture, and work on paper seen in this exhibition, it is the connection between artist and nature that has changed. Gone are the romantic vistas and picturesque scenes of traditional landscape painting. Instead we find images of pollution and alienation that mirror the post-war urban-industrial landscape, depictions in which artistic media have been pressed into embodiments of natural elements (and vice versa), and abstractions that highlight a distance between the world perceived and the world represented.
Featuring works by artists such as Wayne Thiebaud, Roy DeForest, David Hockney, Vija Celmins, Ed Ruscha, Frank Stella, Louise Nevelson, and Richard Diebenkorn, the art of De-Natured presents a sampling of the many ways that artists have engaged with their changing environs. At a time when we are increasingly "growing up denatured," as one New York Times writer recently described the divide between urban and pastoral life, these artistic collisions with nature (or its absence) have much to tell us about our own relationships with the environment, both natural and urban.
This exhibition was curated by Heather Pamela Green, a doctoral candidate in Art History at Stanford University, and features work drawn from the Collection of Harry W. and Mary Margaret Anderson, as well as the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco's Anderson Graphic Arts Collection.

"The thing I like about painting is that it takes just a second for the information to go in" says Vija Celmins, "and you can explore and analyse that later."
Born in Latvia in 1938, Vija Celmins is best known for her intricate, monochromatic drawings of a select range of subjects; meticulous renderings of the surface of the ocean, the vastness of the night sky or the microscopic detail of a spider's web. In 1966 she began to use photographs as the subjects for her works, creating what she described as 'impossible images', reminding us of the complexity of the simplest things. With her slow, painstaking approach, some of these works take years to complete.

Museum Ludwig Cologne
15.4. - 17.7.2011
This exhibition traces a great voyage of discovery of a very special artist: heaving oceans, arid deserts, spread-ing night skies and intricate spiders' webs are Vija Celmins' major themes. Since the late 1960s, this American artist with Latvian roots has used photographs of the four motifs as subjects of her oil paintings, pencil or charcoal drawings, and many different print techniques. Museum Ludwig is exhibiting 60 representative works that show the constantly subtle variations she makes on one's perception of the same subject.
Celmins has a way of animating a surface that gives back a physical embodiment to her depicted images, which is why no reproduction will ever completely capture their magic. Her art is a triumph over the reproductive medium of photography and an intense observation of things. Celmins wants to bring what she finds in flat images back "into the real world and real time" of the viewer -- and creates pictures of timeless beauty.
We were allowed to accompany her at the McKee Gallery in New York 2010 and during the set up of her show in Cologne. Many thanks!

Lives and Works: New York City
Characteristically rendered in muted tones, blacks, and whites, Vija Celmins' paintings and drawings explore the farthest reaches of restraint and representation. Her art seeks to understand the limits of human experience through imagery that points toward uninhabitable, desolate, and unbound beauty--the ocean, the desert, and the night sky are subjects that appear repeatedly in her paintings. Yet it is photographs rather than actual natural expanses that form the direct basis for her work. The Night Sky paintings derive from details of flat pages from magazines--the horizonless starry depths have been imperfectly "scanned" and translated by Celmins onto the canvas in a way that implies a seductively held tension of surface and depth, detail and illusion. In a process the artist has compared to masonry or brickwork, she laboriously deposits and constructs, sands, or erases the monochromatic pigments "to fix the image in the memory." The Night Sky works openly invite myriad connotations from philosophical meditations on humanity's place in the cosmos to starry allusions to the "final frontier" in television and cinema.

Life on Mars, the 2008 Carnegie International
Widely known as one of the pre-eminent international surveys of contemporary art in the world, the Carnegie International was founded at the behest of industrialist Andrew Carnegie in 1896. With the Venice Biennale, the Carnegie International is the oldest such exhibition in the world. Titled "Life on Mars", the 2008 Carnegie International will focus on the increasingly relevant question of what it means to be human in the world today. The exhibition presents work by 40 artists who investigate particular aspects of the human condition, moving along paths that are both introspective and worldly while poetically traversing the dramatic spectrum from tragedy to comedy.

Documentary "Vija Celmins: reinterpreted".
Vija Celmins is a Latvian born artist, who immigrated to the United States with her family when she was ten years old. Armed with a nuanced palette of blacks and grays, Celmins renders limitless space—seascapes, night skies, and the barren desert floor—with an uncanny accuracy, working for months on a single image. Celmins has a highly attuned sense for organic detail and the elegance of imperfection.
Vija Celmins received an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in 1996 and a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship in 1997. Retrospectives of her work have traveled to the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Institute of Contemporary Art, London, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. In 2002, a retrospective of Celmins' prints was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Celmins currently resides in New York.
This documentary for the first time will unfold her process of creation as well as her unique personality. Filmmakers visited her in New York and Long Island and had an exclusive chance to observe her in her studio and witness her prominent status in NYC art scene.
This film along with the retrospective of Vija Celmin's work in Riga (Latvia) is a part of Riga- European Capital of Culture- program.

Vija Celmins
Vija Celmins is an importantLatvian-American visual artist best known for photo-realistic paintings and drawings of natural environments and phenomena such as the ocean, spider webs, star fields, and rocks. Her earlier work included pop sculptures and monochromatic representational paintings. Based in New York City, she has been the subject of over forty solo exhibitions since 1965, and major retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, and Centre Pompidou, Paris.
Biography
Vija Celmins (pronounced VEE-ya SELL-muns) was born on October 25, 1938, in Riga, Latvia. Upon the Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940, her parents and older sister Inta fled to Germany, survived the refugee-despising Nazi regime, and then lived in a United Nations supported Latvian refugee camp in Esslingen am Neckar, Baden-Württemberg. After World War II, in 1948, the Church World Service relocated the family to the United States, briefly in New York City, then in Indianapolis, Indiana. Sponsored by a local Lutheran church, her father found work as a carpenter, and her mother in a hospital laundry. Vija was ten, and spoke no English, which caused her to focus on drawing, leading her teachers to encourage further creativity and painting.

Documentary "Vija Celmins: reinterpreted". Vija Celmins is a Latvian born artist, who immigrated to the United States with her family when she was ten years old. Armed with a nuanced palette of blacks and grays, Celmins renders limitless space—seascapes, night skies, and the barren desert floor—with an uncanny accuracy, working for months on a single image. Celmins has a highly attuned sense for organic detail and the elegance of imperfection. Vija Celmins received an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in 1996 and a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship in 1997. Retrospectives of her work have traveled to the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Institute of Contemporary Art, London, and the Museum of Fin...

In this oral history interview, Vija Celmins discusses her life in California, including her background and her first show at UCLA after her graduation. Celmins also talks about her perception of her own art style. The interview was conducted by Andrew Perchuck and Rani Singh in New York, New York on February 10, 2011.
The Getty Research Institute (GRI) hosted events and conducted oral histories inspired by the "Modern Art in Los Angeles" theme beginning in 2003. Much of the GRI's Modern Art in Los Angeles activities were incorporated into the Getty's larger initiative, "Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A.," which focused on postwar art (1945-1980) in Los Angeles.

On view at LACMA from March 13-June 5, 2011, Vija Celmins: Television and Disaster 1964--1966 explores an essential and often overlooked period of the artist's work. Celmins is best known as a painter of refined representational images—including night skies, ocean waves and spider webs. However, the images that first grounded her interest as a young artist in Los Angeles in the 1960s are characterized by violent themes such as crashing warplanes, smoking handguns, and other images of death and disaster influenced by the violence of the era and the mass media that represented it.
This is the first exhibition to concentrate on the Celmins's early paintings and sculptures, made during a three-year period that laid the technical and thematic groundwork for her future as an artist.
Vija Celmins was born in 1938 in Riga, Latvia, and fled with her family to Germany in advance of the Soviet army's invasion in 1944. Migrating to the United States in 1948, the family settled in Indianapolis, where Celmins grew up and studied art. In 1962, she moved to the West Coast to attend graduate school at the University of California, Los Angeles. She has lived and worked primarily in New York since 1981.
This exhibition is co-organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Menil Collection, Houston.
The Los Angeles presentation was made possible in part by Laura and Jim Maslon.

In this episode Vija Celmins speaks about her two drawings in the exhibition De-Natured: Works from the Anderson Collection; on view at the San Jose Museum of Art October 13, 2007 - January 6, 2008.
The San Jose Museum of Art is pleased to offer this audio tour to compliment your visit to the exhibition De-Natured: Works from the Anderson Art Collection. In it you will hear commentary by curator Heather Green, interviews with several of the artists in the exhibition, and insight into the collection provided by Harry W. Anderson himself.
Broadly defined, to denature is to change the character or condition of something. In the milieu of contemporary painting, sculpture, and work on paper seen in this exhibition, it is the connection between artist and nature that has changed. Gone are the romantic vistas and picturesque scenes of traditional landscape painting. Instead we find images of pollution and alienation that mirror the post-war urban-industrial landscape, depictions in which artistic media have been pressed into embodiments of natural elements (and vice versa), and abstractions that highlight a distance between the world perceived and the world represented.
Featuring works by artists such as Wayne Thiebaud, Roy DeForest, David Hockney, Vija Celmins, Ed Ruscha, Frank Stella, Louise Nevelson, and Richard Diebenkorn, the art of De-Natured presents a sampling of the many ways that artists have engaged with their changing environs. At a time when we are increasingly "growing up denatured," as one New York Times writer recently described the divide between urban and pastoral life, these artistic collisions with nature (or its absence) have much to tell us about our own relationships with the environment, both natural and urban.
This exhibition was curated by Heather Pamela Green, a doctoral candidate in Art History at Stanford University, and features work drawn from the Collection of Harry W. and Mary Margaret Anderson, as well as the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco's Anderson Graphic Arts Collection.

"The thing I like about painting is that it takes just a second for the information to go in" says Vija Celmins, "and you can explore and analyse that later."
Born in Latvia in 1938, Vija Celmins is best known for her intricate, monochromatic drawings of a select range of subjects; meticulous renderings of the surface of the ocean, the vastness of the night sky or the microscopic detail of a spider's web. In 1966 she began to use photographs as the subjects for her works, creating what she described as 'impossible images', reminding us of the complexity of the simplest things. With her slow, painstaking approach, some of these works take years to complete.

UC Irvine was a hotbed of creativity and experimentation in the 1960s and early '70s, a hub of innovation where exceptional teachers such as Tony DeLap, Robert Irwin, and Vija Celmins taught talented students like Alexis Smith, Chris Burden, and Nancy Buchanan. All but forgotten in the intervening years, this exceptional time and place is now recovered at Laguna Art Museum in Best Kept Secret.

Museum Ludwig Cologne
15.4. - 17.7.2011
This exhibition traces a great voyage of discovery of a very special artist: heaving oceans, arid deserts, spread-ing night skies and intricate spiders' webs are Vija Celmins' major themes. Since the late 1960s, this American artist with Latvian roots has used photographs of the four motifs as subjects of her oil paintings, pencil or charcoal drawings, and many different print techniques. Museum Ludwig is exhibiting 60 representative works that show the constantly subtle variations she makes on one's perception of the same subject.
Celmins has a way of animating a surface that gives back a physical embodiment to her depicted images, which is why no reproduction will ever completely capture their magic. Her art is a triumph over the reproductive medium of photography and an intense observation of things. Celmins wants to bring what she finds in flat images back "into the real world and real time" of the viewer -- and creates pictures of timeless beauty.
We were allowed to accompany her at the McKee Gallery in New York 2010 and during the set up of her show in Cologne. Many thanks!

Born: 1938, Riga, Latvia
Lives and Works: New York City
Characteristically rendered in muted tones, blacks, and whites, Vija Celmins' paintings and drawings explore the farthest reaches of restraint and representation. Her art seeks to understand the limits of human experience through imagery that points toward uninhabitable, desolate, and unbound beauty--the ocean, the desert, and the night sky are subjects that appear repeatedly in her paintings. Yet it is photographs rather than actual natural expanses that form the direct basis for her work. The Night Sky paintings derive from details of flat pages from magazines--the horizonless starry depths have been imperfectly "scanned" and translated by Celmins onto the canvas in a way that implies a seductively held tension of surface and depth, detail and illusion. In a process the artist has compared to masonry or brickwork, she laboriously deposits and constructs, sands, or erases the monochromatic pigments "to fix the image in the memory." The Night Sky works openly invite myriad connotations from philosophical meditations on humanity's place in the cosmos to starry allusions to the "final frontier" in television and cinema.

Life on Mars, the 2008 Carnegie International
Widely known as one of the pre-eminent international surveys of contemporary art in the world, the Carnegie International was founded at the behest of industrialist Andrew Carnegie in 1896. With the Venice Biennale, the Carnegie International is the oldest such exhibition in the world. Titled "Life on Mars", the 2008 Carnegie International will focus on the increasingly relevant question of what it means to be human in the world today. The exhibition presents work by 40 artists who investigate particular aspects of the human condition, moving along paths that are both introspective and worldly while poetically traversing the dramatic spectrum from tragedy to comedy.

Documentary "Vija Celmins: reinterpreted".
Vija Celmins is a Latvian born artist, who immigrated to the United States with her family when she was ten years old. Armed with a nuanced palette of blacks and grays, Celmins renders limitless space—seascapes, night skies, and the barren desert floor—with an uncanny accuracy, working for months on a single image. Celmins has a highly attuned sense for organic detail and the elegance of imperfection.
Vija Celmins received an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in 1996 and a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship in 1997. Retrospectives of her work have traveled to the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Institute of Contemporary Art, London, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. In 2002, a retrospective of Celmins' prints was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Celmins currently resides in New York.
This documentary for the first time will unfold her process of creation as well as her unique personality. Filmmakers visited her in New York and Long Island and had an exclusive chance to observe her in her studio and witness her prominent status in NYC art scene.
This film along with the retrospective of Vija Celmin's work in Riga (Latvia) is a part of Riga- European Capital of Culture- program.

Unemlament
So much pain, oh yeah
This is for my strugglers
Hear me crying in the rain
I need your help, come help me now
There's so much pain
Wasted, hungry, and so much to give
And all we need is a chance to live
And just be free
For we are the victims of this political war
We do not want our children to suffer more
In a world where only a few would rule
No equal opportunity for the majority
Unite now, unite now
We got to unite now, unite now
Unemployed, Im tired of being pushed around
By my family, by society,
But whos to blame?
Open you eyes and try to see the reality
That you can feel the way we feel
And it will open your eyes
For we are the victims of this political war
We do not want our children to suffer more
In a world where only a few can rule
No equal opportunity for majority
Unite now, unite now
We got to unite now, unite now
Attracted by the city lights many come to see
But there's nothing more than the country life
When there was so much joy
In the city you have to give a lot to live
Youll have to steal cause there's no world go round
There's so much pain
For we are the victims of this political war
We do not want our children to suffer more
In a world where only a few would rule
No equal opportunity for my family
We got to unite now, unite now (my Polynesian people)
Unite now (my Melanesian people) unite now (Micronesian people)

'We don't have a future' - Hanjin crews return to uncertain fate
Edit BBC News 14 Oct 2016
"Hanjin is like a family," says the first officer, slowly choosing his words. "But now," he hesitates, "it looks like we've lost our family.". We are standing on board one of Hanjin's vessels. It's a huge ship, and the officer is second-in-command. He stares past me, for a moment lost in thought, an empty gaze across the hundreds of metres of containers and steel hull below. He quickly snaps out of it. "Come this way please." ... He is shy ... ....
