Daniel J. "<mask><mask>, Sr. (born May 11, 1938) is an American disc jockey and television personality from Buffalo, New York. He is best known for a run of over 40 years as a morning disc jockey in Buffalo, including 25 years at heritage top-40 and oldies station WKBW/WWKB, another 15 years at oldies/classic hits WHTT-FM and a three-year run at WECK. Radio career
Neaverth recalled that his first radio work was as a young teenager, when he, his longtime friend and collaborator Joey Reynolds, WEBR jockey <mask>, and others set up a closed-circuit radio station at a Boys Club in Buffalo, under a sponsorship deal with a local pizzeria that "paid" the jockeys in free pizza. Neaverth was personally trained in the art of broadcasting by Jack Curran of Syracuse, New York and did not attend college. (As a running gag, Neaverth often claims he "went to Syracuse" when asked about his education.) began his career at WFRM in Coudersport, Pennsylvania in 1957, where he served as afternoon jock.In 1959, he went to WDOE and then on to WBNY in Buffalo, the city's first rock and roll station. By 1961, WKBW had lured him to host the afternoon drive time slot (he became the station's morning host in 1970). Becoming known for the tagline "<mask> moves your fanny in the morning!" and the catch phrase "I got up early so I could be the first kid on the block to say good morning to you" among many others, Neaverth spent 26 years at WKBW through top 40, adult contemporary and oldies formats before an ownership change and a format change to talk radio led

 as morning jock, until being dismissed in a cost-cutting move in 2002. Shortly thereafter, he came out of retirement for another three year stretch at a revived "WKBW," where he (along with the oldies format in general) quadrupled the station's Arbitron ratings. After three years, WKBW's owner decided to pull the plug on oldies again, and Neaverth spent the next decade in semi-retirement.On May 4, 2017, Neaverth was added to the airstaff at WECK, hosting a weekly oldies program on Friday afternoons. Neaverth moved his show to Monday mornings in February 2019, reuniting him with Tom Donahue, his newsman at WWKB and WHTT. He was displaced from the Monday morning position in October 2019 after the station hired Roger Christian to fill the position. Neaverth was fired in April 2020 in a public argument with WECK owner Buddy Shula over how his co-workers were treated during the coronavirus outbreak. He has remained mostly in retirement since then but has been active on social media with his tongue-in-cheek production "Danny Needs a Job" and has hinted that he would not turn down another job offer in Buffalo if one were given. <mask> is a member of the Buffalo Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame and the New York State Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame. Other appearances
Neaverth also had a very long run as the public address announcer for the Buffalo Bills for 13 years.He also served as the public address announcer for the Buffalo Braves throughout the team's existence. As part of his work with WKBW, he and his fellow disc jockeys

Bernhardt "<mask><mask> ( (O.S. February 7, 1918) – ) was an American politician and white supremacist religious leader. He founded the Church of the Creator with the publication of his book Nature's Eternal Religion in 1973. Klassen was openly racist, antisemitic and anti-Christian and first popularized the term "Racial Holy War" within the White Power movement. At one point, <mask> was a Republican Florida state legislator, as well as a supporter of George Wallace's presidential campaign. In addition to his religious and political work, <mask> was an electrical engineer and he was also the inventor of a wall-mounted electric can-opener. Klassen held unorthodox views about dieting and health.He was a natural hygienist who opposed the germ theory of disease as well as conventional medicine and promoted a fruitarian, raw food diet. Early life

<mask> was born on February 20, 1918, in Rudnerweide (now Rozivka in Chernihivka Raion in Zaporizhzhia Oblast), Ukraine, to Bernhard and Susanna <mask> (née Friesen) a Ukrainian Mennonite Christian couple. He had two sisters and two brothers. When Klassen was nine months old, he caught typhoid fever and nearly died. His earliest memories were of the famine of 1921–22. He remembered his father rationing to him one slice of dark bread for dinner. Klassen was first introduced to religion at the age of "three or four".When he was five, the family moved to Mexico, where they lived for one year. In 1925, at age six, he moved with his family to Herschel, Saskatchewan, Canada. He attended the German-English Academy (now Rosthern Junior College). Entrepreneurship
<mask> established a real estate firm in Los Angeles in partnership with <mask>. Believing that his partner was prone to drinking and gambling, Klassen eventually bought him out and became sole proprietor. He hired several salesmen, including Merle Peek, who convinced him to buy large land development projects in Nevada. <mask> and Peek

 started a partnership called the Silver Springs Land Company, through which they founded the town of Silver Springs, Nevada.In 1952, <mask> sold his share of the company to Phillip Hess for $150,000 and retired. On March 26, 1956, Klassen filed an application with the U.S. Patent Office to patent a wall-mounted, electric can opener which he marketed as Canolectric. In partnership with the marketing firm Robbins & Myers, Klassen created Klassen Enterprises, Inc. In the face of competition from larger manufacturers that could provide similar products more cheaply, <mask> and his partners dissolved the company in 1962. Political career
Klassen served Broward County in the Florida House of Representatives from November 1966 – March 1967, running on an anti-busing, anti-government platform. He campaigned for election to the Florida Senate in 1967, but was defeated. That same year, he was vice chairman of an organization in Florida which supported George Wallace's presidential bid.<mask> was a member of the John Birch Society, at one point operating an American Opinion bookstore. But he became disillusioned with the Society because of what he viewed as its tolerant position towards Jews. In November 1970, <mask>, along with Austin Davis, created the Nationalist White Party. The party's platform was directed at White Christians and it was explicitly religious and racial in nature; the first sentence of the party's fourteen-point program is "We believe that the White Race was created in the Image of the Lord." The logo of the Nationalist White Party was a "W" with a crown and a halo over it, and it would be used three years later as the logo of the Church of the Creator. Less than a year after he created the Nationalist White Party, <mask> began expressing apprehension about Christianity to his connections through letters. These letters were not well received and they effectively ended the influence of the Nationalist White Party.Church

 of the Creator

In 1973 <mask> founded the Church of the Creator (COTC) with the publication of Nature's Eternal Religion. Individual church members are called Creators, and the religion they practice is called Creativity. In 1982, <mask> established the headquarters of his church in Otto, North Carolina. Klassen wrote that he established a school for boys. The original curriculum was a two-week summer program that included activities such as "hiking, camping, training in handling of firearms, archery, tennis, white water rafting and other healthy outdoor activities", as well as instruction on "the goals and doctrines of Creativity and how they could best serve their own race in various capacities of leadership." In July 1992 George Loeb, a minister in the church, was convicted  of murdering a black sailor in Jacksonville, Florida. Fearing that a conviction might mean the loss of 20 acres of land worth about $400,000 in Otto, North Carolina belonging to the church, Klassen sold it to another white supremacist, William Luther Pierce, author of the Turner Diaries, for $100,000.<mask> was Pontifex Maximus of the church until January 25, 1993, when he transferred the title to Dr. Rick McCarty. Racial holy war
<mask>en first popularized the term "Racial Holy War" (RaHoWa) within the white nationalist movement. He also consistently called black people "niggers" in public discourse as well as in the literature of the COTC, as opposed to many white nationalist leaders who use relatively more polite terms in public. Klassen wrote, "Furthermore, in looking up the word in Webster's dictionary I found the term 'nigger' very descriptive: 'a vulgar, offensive term of hostility and contempt for the black man'. I can't think of anything that defines better and more accurately what our position... should be... If we are going to be for racial integrity and racial purity... we must take a hostile position toward the nigger. We must give him nothing

title: Murder of Leslie Mahaffy

texts:
<mask> (July 5, 1976 – June 16, 1991) was a Canadian murder victim of killers Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. At the time of her death, she was a resident of Burlington, Ontario and a Grade 9 student at M.M. Robinson High School. <mask>'s kidnapping was one in a series of disappearances of Ontario schoolgirls in the early 1990s, including Kristen French, also a victim of Bernardo and Homolka. Prior to killing <mask> in 1991 and French in 1992, the pair had raped and killed Homolka's teenaged sister Tammy in 1990. The disappearances, arrests, and convictions were widely covered in Canadian media, becoming one of the most notorious crimes in Canadian history. Family
<mask> was born July 5, 1976.Her brother Ryan was born some years later. Her father was an oceanographer for the Canadian federal Fisheries and Oceans department, and sometimes would be on assignments away from home for weeks at a time. Her mother was a teacher. Though she had been close to her family, when she turned fourteen, <mask> began to rebel and spend periods of time away from the family home but always phoned home during her absences and kept in touch with her younger brother Ryan, with whom she was very close. Shortly before her abduction, some friends had been killed in a car accident. The evening prior to her abduction, <mask> attended a memorial for one of the teens as well as an informal get-together and subsequently missed her Friday night curfew. Finding the door locked, <mask> traveled to a nearby plaza to use the pay telephone to ask a friend if she might spend the night at the friend's home but was refused.Returning home, she crossed paths with Bernardo who had been out looking into back yards, hoping to find a victim. Bernardo lured <mask> back to his nearby car and took her to the house he shared with Homolka. Later that day, <mask>'s

 friend telephoned the <mask> house to inquire about <mask>'s well-being and explained the call that <mask> had made after discovering that she had been locked out, prompting <mask>'s mother to start searching for <mask>. Finding no trace of her daughter, she eventually became concerned and contacted the police. When <mask> failed to phone home on her own birthday about two weeks later, her family was certain that she had not called them because she could not. Her mother Debbie would later become prominent in the struggle to maintain and enforce the judge's gag order about the trials of Mahaffy's killers and the videotapes they made of their own crimes, which were used as evidence against them. <mask>'s remains are interred under a family headstone at Burlington Memorial Gardens in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.There is also a heart-shaped garden with a plaque in <mask>'s honour at M.M. Robinson High School, and a memorial bench close to her family headstone. Kidnapping

At the time of her abduction and subsequent murder in mid-June 1991, a few weeks before her fifteenth birthday, <mask> was a Grade 9 student at M.M. Robinson High School in Burlington. Like many teens that age, she wore braces on her teeth. On the evening of June 14, 1991, <mask> went to a funeral home to attend a wake for her friend Chris Evans, a boy who had died in a car accident earlier that week. After the wake, a large group of teens met in the woods to drink and console one another.As the evening wound down, a couple of friends walked her home shortly before 2:00 AM, where they stayed with her while she found the side door locked. She told them the front door would surely be unlocked, and sent them home. After they left her, she found the front door was locked as well. Now alone, <mask> walked to a pay phone at Macs Milk and called a friend's

 house for permission to sleep over. Her friend told her no, and after a lengthy conversation that ended after 2:30 AM, <mask> said she would go back home and wake up her own mother to get in the house. When <mask> failed to appear later that day at the funerals for her friend Chris Evans and the three teens killed with him, her mother phoned the police. On June 18, <mask> filed the official paperwork to have her daughter sought and arrested as a runaway.Paul Bernardo eventually admitted he had been on Keller Court, where the <mask> home was located, to steal license plates. He saw <mask> alone. He claims he told her he was breaking into the house next door and then offered her a cigarette, which he said was back at his car. When she was close enough to the car, he said he wrapped his sweatshirt quickly around her head, forced her into the vehicle, and took her to the home he shared with Homolka. Homolka's version of the story is similar, but she claims that once he got <mask> to the car to fetch the cigarette, he pulled a knife on the girl to get her compliance. Both agree that Homolka was not present during the kidnapping. Murder
After 24 hours of rape and abuse by both of the killers, <mask> was murdered sometime on June 15, 1991.According to Homolka, Bernardo strangled <mask> with an electrical cord a second time when the first attempt left her unconscious for a few minutes. Homolka, a veterinary technician, had access to sedative drugs which were used to subdue <mask>, the same technique the pair used in the rape and inadvertent murder of Homolka's sister six months before. Bernardo stated that he was out of the room, preparing the car to transport <mask> to a location where she would be released, when the heavily-drugged <mask> died. He has claimed he did not even know she was dead until, after putting gas in

 the car and taking a shower, he tried to pick her up to carry her away. He said he and Homolka panicked, and that he tried to give <mask> artificial respiration. Both killers agree that they gave her a teddy bear to hold during breaks between assaults. On June 16, 1991, Bernardo and Homolka moved <mask>'s body from an upstairs bedroom to the basement.During this time, Bernardo and Homolka hosted Homolka's family for a Father's Day dinner on the main floor of the house, with Homolka making a special effort to keep her mother from going downstairs. When the family left, Bernardo and Homolka used his grandfather's circular saw to dismember <mask>'s body into pieces small enough to lift when covered with concrete. Later, in a confession to her aunt before revealing details to the police, Homolka claimed that Bernardo did this while she was at work on Monday. Bernardo's version asserts that she did not help him rinse and bag the body parts. <mask>'s body was found dismembered and encased in concrete on June 29, 1991 in Lake Gibson near St. Catharines, Ontario. The concrete block containing the torso weighed over 200 pounds. Her braces and dental records confirmed her identity.Investigators immediately believed she had been raped and tortured. This was confirmed when videotapes were discovered in the home of Bernardo and Homolka. The tapes show that she was held hostage for approximately 24 hours and repeatedly assaulted and sodomized. After Bernardo's final bid for an appeal before the Supreme Court was rejected, the tapes were all destroyed by the Ontario government. Bernardo's 2005 statements
Several days before Homolka's release from prison in 2005, Bernardo was interviewed by police and his lawyer, Tony Bryant. Bryant was subsequently interviewed by the media, providing Bernardo's thoughts about the release.

 According to Bryant, Bernardo claimed that he had always intended to free the girls he and Homolka had held captive.Bernardo claimed that Homolka was worried that <mask>'s blindfold had fallen off, and that she would be able to identify them.

<mask> (born 11 March 1946) is a British writer who specialises in the study of antisemitism, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, multiculturalism, and the place of religion in society. From 2006 to early 2009, he was Director of the Institute for Jewish Policy Research, a think tank on issues affecting Jewish communities in Europe. From December 1999 to 2006, he was Chief Executive of the Hanadiv Charitable Foundation, renamed the Rothschild Foundation Europe in 2007. He is a founding member of the Jewish Forum for Justice and Human Rights, and a former editor of Patterns of Prejudice, a quarterly academic journal focusing on the sociology of race and ethnicity. <mask> served on the Runnymede Trust's Commission on Antisemitism in the early 1990s, and was appointed in 1998 to its Commission on the Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain. He also sits on the advisory committee of the Imperial War Museum's Holocaust exhibition. He has contributed to The Guardian.Biography
<mask> spent much of his early life within the Habonim, and trained to become a madrikh (youth leader) at the Jewish Agency's Jerusalem Institute for Foreign Leaders. He became Britain's first mazkir, (foreign youth leader) aged 22. He made aliyah to Israel in 1970, and stayed there until 1973. From 1979 to 2009, he worked for Jewish organisations, mainly as a researcher for the Institute of Jewish Affairs, but also worked as a director of the Rothchild's Hanadiv Charity. When <mask> became an outspoken supporter of a "one-state solution", his ties to mainstream Jewish organizations soured, while the IJPR leadership pursued its goals without his input or support until he came to a realization of the fact and resigned in 2009. Since then, <mask> has contributed to The Guardian "Comment

 is Free" section to advocate for the disavowal of Zionism and the "one-state solution", which has earned him support on the pro-Palestinian camp but also resulted in him being ignored by the UK Jewish community and its leadership. New antisemitism
In the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, <mask> argued that the concept of a "new antisemitism" has brought about "a revolutionary change in the discourse about anti-Semitism".He wrote that most contemporary discussions concerning antisemitism have become focused on issues concerning Israel and Zionism, and that the equation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism has become for many a "new orthodoxy". He added that this redefinition has often resulted in "Jews attacking other Jews for their alleged anti-Semitic anti-Zionism". While <mask> accepts that exposing alleged Jewish antisemitism is "legitimate in principle", he added that the growing literature in this field "exceeds all reason"; the attacks are often vitriolic, and encompass views that are not inherently anti-Zionist. <mask> argued that this redefinition has had unfortunate repercussions. He wrote that serious scholarly research into contemporary antisemitism has become "virtually non-existent", and that the subject is now most frequently studied and analysed by "people lacking any serious expertise in the subject, whose principal aim is to excoriate Jewish critics of Israel and to promote the "anti-Zionism = anti-Semitism" equation. <mask> concluded that this redefinition has ultimately served to stifle legitimate discussion, and that it cannot create a basis on which to fight antisemitism. When Yale decided to close the Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism, many charged it was political in nature, owing to the

 Initiative's controversial focus on Muslim antisemitism.Abby Wisse Schachter, a commentator at the New York Post wrote that Yale "almost certainly" terminated the program because it "refused to ignore the most virulent, genocidal and common form of Jew-hatred today: Muslim anti-Semitism." But <mask> welcomed the decision, and argued that the organisation was politicised and that its demise should be welcomed by those who "genuinely support the principle of the objective, dispassionate study of contemporary antisemitism." <mask> believes claims that London is the "hub of international efforts to delegitimise Israel and that British Jews are subject to a constant barrage of media-driven anti-Zionist propaganda that borders on, or overlaps with, antisemitism" are grossly exaggerated. His concern has been to stimulate discussion about the impact of Israel on European Jewry, and on the extent to which the rise in anti-Semitism  is influenced by actions taken by the Israeli government. Anti-Muslim sentiment
<mask> sees links between the Israeli far-right and Islamophobic groups in Europe such as Geert Wilders and his anti-Islam Party for Freedom. Wilders and leaders of four other far-right parties have visited Israel, despite their antisemitic roots. <mask> has commented that since 9/11, Israel has sought to identify itself with the US as a "fellow victim of Islamist terror".As Al Qaeda demonised America and Israel, the "Zionist right" began to argue a "new antisemitism" was a rising threat, thus recasting antisemitism as principally anti-Israel rhetoric from Muslim groups. On gauging the threat of antisemitism, <mask> quoted Rabbi David Goldberg: "at the present time, it is far easier and safer to be a Jew than a Muslim, a black person or an

 east European asylum seeker." <mask> criticised an attack by The Jewish Chronicle on the Pears Foundation accusing them of "blindness towards jihadi propagandists". He considered obsessiveness against attempts to open a dialogue with Hamas as "actively encouraging their racism, antisemitism and terrorism", and regarded it as a generalised anti-Muslim discourse. The Making and Unmaking of a Zionist
In his 2012 book, The Making and Unmaking of a Zionist, <mask> analyses his positions over five decades, from early Zionist idealism to criticism of Zionism. He is not an 'anti-Zionist'. He argues that Zionism is a "done deal", like the French Revolution, something that occurred in the past.He contends that self-identifying Zionists in the diaspora are complicit in supporting an unjust occupation, and argues Israel must abrogate the Law of Return, change its Jewish character, and become a binational state for Jews and Palestinians. The diaspora must choose between universal values and multiculturalism, and Jewish exclusivity. In an op-ed for The New York Times after the 2014 Gaza Strip war, <mask> concluded that, “The only Zionism of any consequence today is xenophobic and exclusionary, a Jewish ethno-nationalism inspired by religious messianism. It is carrying out an open-ended project of national self-realization to be achieved through colonization and purification of the tribe.”

<mask> (13 August 1937 – 27 January 1986), sometimes known as "Groovy Bob", was a London art dealer. He was a figure in the London cultural scene of the mid-to-late 1960s, and was close to members of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. In February 2015, the exhibition A Strong Sweet Smell of Incense: A Portrait of <mask>, curated by Brian Clarke, was presented by Pace Gallery at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Early life and education
<mask> was born on 13 August 1937, the son of banker Sir <mask>, who had started as a newspaper delivery boy. <mask>'s father was butler to Harry Gordon Selfridge, the founder of the Selfridges department store chain. <mask> was educated at Eton College, and spent several years in Africa in the 1950s as an officer in the King's African Rifles. Career
After a period spent working in galleries in the United States he returned to England, and with the help of his father (a wealthy financier who had also been a trustee of the Tate Gallery) established the Robert Fraser Gallery at 69 Duke Street (near Grosvenor Square), London, in 1962.The gallery interior was designed by Cedric Price. The Robert Fraser Gallery became a focal point for modern art in Britain, and through his exhibitions he helped to launch and promote the work of many important new British and American artists including Peter Blake, Clive Barker, Bridget Riley, Jann Haworth, Richard Hamilton, Gilbert and George, Eduardo Paolozzi, Andy Warhol, Harold Cohen, Jim Dine and Ed Ruscha. <mask> also sold work by René Magritte, Jean Dubuffet, Balthus and Hans Bellmer.

The works were removed from the gallery by the Metropolitan Police, and <mask> was charged under a 19th-century vagrancy law that applied to street beggars. He was fined 20 guineas and legal costs. <mask> became a trendsetter during the Sixties; <mask> has described him as "one of the most influential people of the London Sixties scene".His London flat and his gallery were the foci of a "jet-set" salon of top pop stars, artists, writers and other celebrities, including members of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, photographer Michael Cooper, designer Christopher Gibbs, Marianne Faithfull, Dennis Hopper (who introduced <mask> to satirist Terry Southern), William Burroughs and Kenneth Anger. Because of this, he was given the nickname "Groovy Bob" by Terry Southern. His flat at 23 Mount Street, on the third floor above Scott's restaurant, was described by Barry Miles as one of the "coolest sixties pads in London". <mask> art-directed the cover for the Beatles' 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band – he dissuaded the group from using the original design, a psychedelic artwork created by the design collective The Fool, instead suggesting the pop artists Peter Blake and Jann Haworth, who created the famous collage cover design for which they each won a Grammy Award. It was through <mask> that Richard Hamilton was selected to design the poster for the White Album. His gallery also hosted You Are Here, Lennon's own foray into avant garde art during 1968.He was a close friend of the Rolling

The event is commemorated by the 1968 Richard Hamilton artwork Swingeing London 67, a collage of contemporary press clippings about the case, and the portrait of Jagger and <mask> handcuffed together also entitled "Swingeing London". <mask> always insisted that neither Jagger nor Richards actually had any drugs with them, and that everything found by the police actually belonged to him. During the raid he persuaded the officers that his 20 heroin pills were actually for an upset stomach and offered them only one for testing. Although Jagger and Richards were acquitted on appeal, <mask> pleaded guilty to charges of possession of heroin, and was sentenced to six months' hard labour. After his release <mask>'s interest in the gallery declined as his heroin addiction grew worse, and he closed the business in 1969. <mask> moved down the street to a large 8-room apartment on the 2nd floor of 120 Mount Street, the previous occupant was writer and theatre critic Kenneth Tynan.Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones was living with <mask> at the time, and it was here, sitting by the window in the lounge room, that Richards had the inspiration for the song Gimme Shelter "I had been sitting by the window of my friend <mask>'s apartment on Mount Street in London with an acoustic guitar when suddenly the sky went completely black and an incredible monsoon came down.

<mask> left the UK and spent several years in India during the 1970s. He returned to London in the early 1980s and opened a second gallery in 1983, with a show of paintings by the stained glass and architectural artist Brian Clarke, but by this time he was suffering from chronic drug and alcohol problems and the gallery never replicated the success of its predecessor, although <mask> was again influential in promoting the work of Clarke, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. It soon transpired that <mask> was also suffering from AIDS. He was one of the first 'celebrity' victims of the disease in the UK.In 1985 he sold his Cork Street gallery to Victoria Miro, who subsequently created the successful Victoria Miro Gallery. <mask> seemed disillusioned, and told her at the time "You'll never make a contemporary art gallery work in this country." He was cared for by the Terence Higgins Trust during his final illness and died in January 1986. He died at his mother's flat in London. Sources

texts: <mask> (born 1945 in Havana, Cuba) is a freelance curator, critic, art historian, and writer based in Havana, Cuba. He was one of the organizers of the first Havana Biennial in 1984 and remained central to the curatorial team until he resigned in 1989. Since then, his activity turned to be mainly international: he has been traveling, lecturing and curating exhibitions in more than 80 countries. <mask> was adjunct curator at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, from 1995 to 2009. Since 1995 he is advisor in the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kusten in Amsterdam. His publications include several books on art and art theory (and a short stories' volume), and more than 600 articles, reviews and essays have appeared in numerous magazines, including: Art Nexus, Cahiers,  Lápiz, Neue Bildende Kunst, Oxford Art Journal, Poliester, Third Text. Among other volumes, <mask> has edited Beyond the Fantastic: Contemporary Art Criticism from Latin America and co-edited (with Jean Fisher) Over Here: International Perspectives on Art and Culture.His theoretical essays – which have been influential in discussing art’s cultural dynamics in an internationalized world, and contemporary Latin American art – are dispersed in English, but have been collected in books in Caracas and Madrid in Spanish, and in Chinese in Beijing. <mask> was the Artistic Director of PHotoEspaña, Madrid (2011–2013), the Chief Curator of the 4th Poly/Graphic San Juan Triennial (2015-2016), and co-curator of the 3rd

 Documents, Beijing (2016). Early work
 <mask> obtained his licenciatura in History of Art at the University of Havana in 1977. Since the early 1970s he was working as art, cinema and theater critic, researcher and journalist in Havana. He published thorough investigations on Servando Cabrera Moreno and Manuel Mendive two Cuban artists who had previously been marginalized for the erotic and religious Afro-Cuban (Mendive) content of their art, and as a result of homophobic cultural policies. <mask> became the main critic and “ideologist” of the new Cuban art, which he supported since its inception. In the 1980s this movement renovated the Cuban art scene, breaking away from official dogmatism and introducing contemporary critical tendencies.It was successful in pushing the Ministry of Culture to open up towards a more liberal cultural policy. <mask>’s critical writings on the new Cuban art were instrumental to this turn, while he also promoted the new artists internationally. This movement triggered a critical and reflexive inclination that distinguishes Cuba’s arts until today. <mask>’s work has also always looked beyond Cuba, as can be seen in his book El diseño se definió en Octubre (Design was Defined in October), about Russian avant-garde art and design and its worldly impact, published in Havana in 1989 and Bogotá in 1992.

The first Havana Biennial took place in 1984. It became the fourth international biennial (after Venice, São Paulo and Sydney) and the

 world, out of the Western mainstream. Since 1984, <mask> was Havana Biennial's "leader of the curatorial work", reformulating the premise and methodology of the event, with which his “own aesthetic and intellectual interests became deeply embedded.” He resigned in 1989, immediately after the 3rd Biennial, due to the escalating repression in the cultural sector, and to political contradictions with the Cuban regimen and about the Biennial’s future.International work
After his resignation to the Havana Biennial, <mask> was banned to publish, curate and lecture in his country until today, and since then he has been working as a freelance internationally. In 1990 he was a  Guggenheim Fellow. From 1995 to 2009 he was adjunct Curator at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, although his work was seriously hampered by legal constraints due to the United States embargo against Cuba, where he continued to live. Together with Dan Cameron he set off a program at the Museum that introduced a broader international approach in the New York art scene. His radical notion of “the museum-as-hub”  transformed the New Museum’s Education Department to include what is called the Museum as Hub, “a new model for curatorial practice and institutional collaboration established to enhance our understanding of contemporary art. Both a network of relationships and an actual physical site…”  with an international program of its own. Mosquera's theoretical work pioneered critical discussions about

texts:
<mask>, 1st Viscount <mask>,  (13 July 1854 – 26 September 1924), was a British Unionist politician. In a political career spanning over 40 years, he held office as President of the Board of Agriculture, President of the Local Government Board, Chief Secretary for Ireland, Secretary of State for the Colonies and First Lord of the Admiralty. He is also remembered for his links with Irish Unionism, and served as Leader of the Irish Unionist Party in the House of Commons from 1906 to 1910. Background and education
<mask> was born at Bath, the eldest son of <mask>, by his wife Charlotte Anna, daughter of William Wentworth FitzWilliam Dick (originally Hume). The 1st Baron Gisborough was his younger brother. On his father's side he was descended from an old family of Wiltshire gentry, and on his mother's side from Anglo-Irish gentry in County Wicklow. When young, <mask> lived at Dolforgan Hall, Montgomeryshire, a property owned by his grandfather.Whilst living there, his father inherited the Rood Ashton Estate. <mask> went to Hilperton school, Amesbury, where he was harshly disciplined by Edwin Meyrick. At Harrow, <mask> was popular, proving a sporty captain of cricket. It was during <mask>'s studies at Christ Church, Oxford, that his father had a mental breakdown, and two years later died in February 1875. Upon his father's death, he took over management of the family properties, whilst his mother moved into a house in Oxford. It was a stressful time, during which he was frequently summoned by his mother, and his younger brother also accumulated gathering debts. <mask> continued to box, ride and hunt, as well as play college cricket.Afternoons spent with the Bicester, Heythrops, and South Oxfordshire hunts were matched by the university Drag Hunt. His proficiency was reflected in the early offer to become Master of the Vale of White Horse Hunt, which he turned down. His agent H Medlicott despaired at the danger to the family fortune, urging him to cut his relations loose; but he raised a new £30,000 mortgage on lands, which Medlicott complained he would

 have to sell. On coming down from Oxford in 1877, he purchased a Coach and Four for £200. After a year in Wiltshire, he married Lady Boyle. <mask> served as an officer in the Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry, being promoted Major in 1890 and becoming Lieutenant-Colonel in command from 1898 to 1906. Political career, 1880–1911
<mask> was determined on a career in politics, campaigning at Marlborough in a traditional Liberal seat in 1879.After Sir George Jenkinson agreed to resign in North Wiltshire, he was adopted by 'half a dozen country gentlemen'. At the 1880 general election, <mask> was elected to parliament as a Conservative for North Wiltshire, a seat he held until 1885. A supporter of Lord Beaconsfield, the British Empire, Church of England and state, he was against extending education, but favoured bible teachings in schools. He won the two-member North Wiltshire seat by more than 2000 votes. At the time Beaconsfield died on 19 April 1881, he was making a record of his days in the Commons: "I rose somewhere about 8.30 and as a new member was duly called".

He made his first speech on 26 July 1880 during the third reading of the Compensation for Disturbances (Ireland) bill. <mask> won his seat with a reduced majority of 95 votes at the November 1885 general election. There was considerable anger at the Conservatives 'Fair Trade policy' for workers. He believed English people had little understanding of Ireland or the minority in Ireland that Home Rule would not protect, and that Gladstone's Home Rule policy would lead to the dismemberment of the empire.

Ritchie at the Local Government Board, in Salisbury's government. They had noticed his unswerving support from the backbenches. He was approachable and had a no-nonsense manner, an excellent memory: logical and crisp. He was both mature and responsible for a young MP. The very strong connections he had with the agricultural community assisted local government in his area. He entered government for the first time in 1886 in Lord Salisbury's second administration as Parliamentary Secretary to the Local Government Board, serving under Charles Ritchie, and became one of the architects of the Local Government Act 1888, which established elected county councils. <mask> dealt with Poor Law reform in the county areas, slum reforms, reform of the London County Council, and better housing for the working-classes.He was deputed to make speeches backing the government position on the LCC bill, although he was not responsible for its draft or passage. Ritchie was to deal with the towns in Local Government Act 1888, but was ill for the period, and <mask> had "a sound grasp its details and essentials." On 6 Feb 1887, he made an important speech in the "Plan of Campaign" from which unionism there seemed to encourage landlordism. However behind the law for tenant compensation, <mask> knew lay a deeper demand for independence. He continued to be worried by the Liberals' policy of Home Rule, supporting the Irish Unionists who opposed it. He could not square the retention of Irish MPs at Westminster under the scheme for the second home rule bill. Irish MPs could control English, Scottish, and Welsh affairs, so he argued.The issue was central to the general election of 1892. <mask> had returned from Canada on a tour speaking on the federal system there.

In July 1892, Liverpool West Derby became vacant and <mask> defeated the Liberal candidate by 1357 votes at the by-election of 1893. Knowing his grasp of parliamentary procedure, Arthur James Balfour hired him to be a strategist in opposition.The Liberals appointed <mask> to the Royal Commission on Agriculture, meeting at Trowbridge on 18 January 1893. <mask> continued in connections with Ireland throughout his career. He did not wish to sever legislative ties of Union with Ireland; but only to offer "an extension of the privileges of local government to the Irish people". Home Rule was thrown out by the Lords on 8 September 1893, by 419 votes to 41. In June 1895, the Liberals were resoundingly defeated in the Lords, and the following month Salisbury was returned for another ministry. After the Conservative defeat in 1892, Ritchie's retirement made <mask> the chief opposition spokesman on local government, and when the Tories returned to power in 1895, he entered the cabinet as President of the Board of Agriculture. In this role he was notable for his efforts to prevent the spread of rabies.The creation of the Board of Agriculture had brought a boost to <mask>'s career in 1889. But opposition rose up strongly, when the Dog Muzzlers act, prompted the Laymen's League in Liverpool to contest the Church discipline bill. <mask> became increasingly unpopular in his constituency accused of being "irascible and scheming", and was advised to change seats. But this did not prevent in 1895 admittance to the Privy Council. The bourgeois Navy League in Liverpool could not wait to get rid of him but his powerful friends, like the "somnolent" Duke of Devonshire gave large donations to the Anti-Socialist Union - and this would be disastrous to the Union, for it would immediately alienate every snob and mediocrity ..."

 the 'Khaki election' of November 1900, <mask> won Bristol South. With the ministerial shuffle in 1900, he became President of the Local Government Board.Never an insider, <mask> worked closely with constituents on local issues showing "sensitivity to the wider needs of society". His capacity for hard work revealed that he was also stubborn, short-tempered, with a choleric temperament; a stickler for the letter of the law. He was frequently plagued by ill-health: neuralgia, arthritis, susceptible to colds and flu; a waspish character, he was not charismatic, nor was he analytic or probing, like his mentor Balfour. In this role, he was criticised as too radical for his support of the Unemployed Workmen's Act 1905, which created an unemployment board to give work and training to the unemployed. In 1903, <mask> took a leading role as a spokesman for the protectionist wing of the party, advocating tariff reform and imperial preference alongside Joseph Chamberlain and his son Austen Chamberlain, which brought him into conflict with Charles Ritchie, Michael Hicks-Beach and others on the free-trade wing. <mask> was a moderate within the protectionist ranks and became a go-between for the protectionists and free-traders, increasing his prominence and popularity within the party. Perhaps his most significant achievement on the board was the unification of the London water-supply boards into the Metropolitan Water Board.Chief Secretary for Ireland
<mask> was offered the position of First Lord of the Admiralty in Lord Selborne's place, as the latter was appointed to the Governor-Generalship of South Africa. But he refused the promotion, advising the appointment of Lord Cawdor. Really what <mask> wanted was to remain at Local Government, but when George Wyndham resigned as Chief Secretary for Ireland, Balfour was faced with a crisis. Wyndham resigned on 5 March 1905, over what became known as the "Wyndham-MacDonnell Imbroglio". Sir Antony MacDonnell was a successful Indian civil servant appointed as administrator in Dublin by Wyndham, on the strict understanding

texts: that the permanent post made MacDonnell's role a non-political position. MacDonnell was a Catholic from Mayo, whose appointment left unionists wondering if they had been betrayed by London. Nevertheless, having been an experienced and competent implementer of the Land Purchase (Ireland) Act 1903, MacDonnell came to be widely seen as a force for moderation.Wyndham was occupied in London with cabinet duties, and so appreciated the implied need for permanent governance. Balfour had already considered <mask> for the post in January 1905, and to that end  consulted both Edward Carson and John Atkinson under pressure from Horace Plunkett and Gerald Balfour, to continue the policy of moderate reform. Due to his Irish connections (both his wife and his mother were Irish), it was hoped that <mask> might be more acceptable to Irish Unionists than his predecessor. <mask> was reluctant to accept the offer; frustrated and angered by Lord Dunraven's proposals and MacDonnell's initiatives that he regarded as anti-Unionist. In mid-March he was determined to bring Unionism back from the brink of extinction in Ireland. Arriving in Dublin on 15 March, at dinner there he took the pragmatic view to work with MacDonnell. Throughout March and April he saw no grounds for MacDonnell's dismissal.Yet labouring closely with Unionists to discuss agrarian and non-agrarian crime, and discipline in the RIC, he continued to appease Unionist opinion. He appointed Unionists William Moore as Solicitor-General for Ireland, John Atkinson, as Lord of Appeal, while Edward Saunderson, the Ulsterite member of the Orange Order, became a confidant and close friend. Patronage was usually dispensed by the Lord Lieutenant: this sparked a row with Lord Dudley, and a constitutional argument prompted an appeal to the Prime Minister. <mask>'s motto of "patience and firmness" was designed to placate Irish Unionists at public meetings, speeches and tours of Ireland, made to reassure local community officials. On 20 April 1905, he made an important speech at Belfast emphasizing that he was a stickler for

 order and the rule of law. But in the south and west, obdurate landlords refused land sales to tenantry leading to boycotts and cattle-driving. The damage done to unionist farms and farmers was frightening.MacDonnell continually urged compromise, but <mask> ignored him. The dispute with Lords Dudley and Dunraven dragged on into August 1905, with their attitude of intransigence towards <mask>'s attempts at Unionist reform, and obedience to the law. On 25 May 1905, the issues were discussed in the Commons. He wished to strengthen Unionism; but both Dudley and <mask> appealed to Balfour for adjudication. Balfour opined that the Chief Secretary was both in the Commons and in the cabinet so Dudley had to be content that the power of the Lords was waning. During the last quarter of 1905, <mask> advised the postponement of dissolution, as it would hit Unionists hard in "the Country" and would hand numerous electorates to radicals. He warned of the loss of seats of Bristol West and South.In December 1905, true to his word, he himself was defeated by 2,692 votes. <mask> continued to distrust 'Birmingham & Co' as he called Chamberlain's struggle for a policy of Tariff recognition, which was already driving the party away from the Free Trade north. Nonetheless, he continued to co-operate transnationally with conservative parties in Germany, such as Reichspartei right up until the second Moroccan crisis in 1911. Unionist in opposition
Nonetheless, <mask>'s parliamentary career was far from finished. He was nominated as Unionist candidate for South County Dublin in 1906, winning by 1,343 votes. <mask> became one of the leading opposition voices against the Liberal plans for Home Rule in Ireland. At this stage the Irish Unionist Party's leadership was still in the hands of his friend Edward Saunderson, who was far from energetic, unhelpfully described as "devoid of business capacity".The dispute with MacDonnell was carried on in the pages of The Times - <mask> trying to galvanise Unionist opinion in both England and Ireland. Balfour, Jack Sandars (Balfour's private

 secretary), and Wyndham all thought he had been duped by Unionism "where his vanity and hopes are concerned", characterising the Chief Secretary as easily manipulated. In October 1906, Saunderson died, and <mask> was chosen as the new Chairman of Irish Unionist Alliance (IUA) - aimed at closer co-operation between northern and southern parties. Three months later, he was also elected as Chairman of the Ulster Unionist Council (UUC). In 1907, he formed the Union Defence League (UDL)  as a support in Great Britain for Irish unionism. The UDL in London linked with the UUC in Belfast and the IUA in Dublin. It had support from Conservative backbenchers but not the leadership.It was active in 1907–1908 and again after 1911 when the Third Home Rule Bill was imminent; with the Primrose League it created the 1914 British Covenant mirroring the 1912 Ulster Covenant. Although <mask> never openly supported the most militant Unionists, who were prepared to fight the Southern nationalists (and perhaps the British Army) to prevent home rule for Ireland, contemporary accounts indicate that he probably had prior knowledge of the Larne gunrunning. In the Commons <mask> was an active opponent of Liberal social legislation. He founded a Budget Protest League to advance the cause of moderate tax changes. In the Lords the defeat of the 'people's budget' led to the constitutional crisis of 1911. He clashed with Edward Carson adopting a similarly equivocal position over the Parliament Bill of 1911, opposing the Bill, but recommending acquiescence. He sat as MP for the Strand between December 1910 and 1918 and St George's between 1918 and 1921.Political career, 1911–1921
When Balfour resigned as party leader in November 1911, <mask>, who had never been happy with his leadership style, was pre-eminent in the Conservative Party and one of the leading candidates to succeed him, the candidate of the 'country party'. As early as 1900, <mask> had denounced Chamberlain, as the "Conservative Party...will not be led by a bloody radical". However, he was opposed by Austen Chamberlain,

The unification of the Liberal Unionist and Conservative parties at the Carlton Club in 1912, was for <mask> acknowledgement of the end of its domination by the country interest. <mask> was always skeptical of coalition, and declared that it would not happen. So with the formation of the wartime coalition government in May 1915, <mask>'s awaited return to office at the Local Government Board was greeted by his surprise.Asquith resisted attempts by Unionists to install <mask> as Chief Secretary. <mask> dealt with the plight of thousands of Belgian refugees. He was actively involved in undermining attempts by Lloyd George to negotiate a deal between Irish Nationalists and Unionists in July 1916 over introducing the suspended Home Rule Act 1914, publicly clashing with his arch-rival Sir Edward Carson. He was accused of plotting to bring down Carson by jeopardising an agreement with the nationalist leader John Redmond, that any partition would only be temporary. When <mask> wanted to alter the clause to permanent, Redmond abandoned further negotiations. Carson, in a bitter riposte, said of <mask> "The worst of <mask> is that he never knows what he wants, but is always intriguing to get it". Austen Chamberlain, in 1911, was similarly critical of <mask>, saying he was "at the centre of every coterie of grumblers."<mask> and the Unionists wanted General Maxwell to have authority over the police, but Asquith finally gave the Chief Secretaryship to a civilian, Henry Duke. With the fall of Asquith and the accession of the Lloyd George government in December 1916, <mask> had established himself as the cabinet's foremost authority on Irish policy.

 George, a natural home ruler, did not seem too happy with <mask>'s brand of federated Unionism. Two allies of the Prime Minister, namely Carson and Lord Edward Cecil, supplied the most intransigent opposition to a united Ireland. It was <mask>'s policy on 16 April 1918 to promote the Conscription bill that would provoke the crisis for Irishness. Duke opposed a policy of conscription without an offer of home rule, whereas <mask> wanted the former without the latter. The crisis gave rise to the German Plot, and <mask>'s pressure to act on intelligence against Sinn Féiners caused him to issue a large number of arrest warrants.<mask> was promoted to the Colonial Office, serving until January 1919, when he became First Lord of the Admiralty, a position in which he served until his retirement to the Lords in 1921. From October 1919 on, he was, once again, largely concerned with Irish affairs, serving as the chair of the cabinet's Long Committee on Ireland. In this capacity, he was largely responsible for initiating the Partition of Ireland under the Government of Ireland Act 1920, which followed certain proposals of Lloyd George's failed 1917–18 Irish Convention, and created separate home rule governments for Southern Ireland and Northern Ireland, the former subsequently evolving as the Irish Free State. In March 1921, Bonar Law resigned as party leader due to ill-health. Sir Austen Chamberlain finally succeeded him in the former office after a ten-year wait. But <mask> too, getting tired and old, was 'kicked upstairs' with a peerage. He was appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Wiltshire in February 1920, and was raised to the peerage as <mask>, of Wraxall in the County of Wiltshire, in May 1921.Personal life

<mask> was born on 18 September 1936 to a wealthy family of civil servants in Tehran, Iran. His uncle was a consul in the Iranian embassy in Berlin before World War II. When he was 14 years old, <mask> was sent to Germany to go to gymnasium, and attended Rudolf Steiner School. After his primary and secondary schooling, he studied German, philosophy and Persian at the Universities of Munich, Tübingen, and Berlin. He became a docent ın 1960 at the University of Tübingen with the subject "Problems of transplanting European dramas to Neo-Persian literature". After finishing his studies, he returned to Iran and worked there as a docent for comparative literature at the University of Tehran, and as a writer and journalist.Together with Mehdi Khanbaba Tehrani and Majid Zarbakhsh, he founded the Goruhe Kadreh (Kader Group), which understood itself as a Marxist-Leninist organisation and wanted to organize revolutionary cells for the anti-imperialist war in urban areas of Iran by acting as urban guerillas. In 1965, he returned to Germany to escape a purported imminent arrest. His book, Iran, The New Imperialism in Action, was published in January 1967 and had a large influence upon the internationalism of the May 1968 student uprising.<ref group=note>On the influence of <mask>'s work on the West German New Left, see Quinn Slobodian, Foreign Front: Third World Politics in Sixties West Germany  Duke University Press, chapter 5</ref> <mask> became a member of the Confederation

In 1979, <mask> returned to Iran before the Islamic Republic of Iran was founded.After staying there for three years, <mask> went into exile in Paris, as he had not received permission to re-enter Germany. He later relocated to Berlin. <mask> advocates for freedom in Iran. He holds that the forces around Ahmadinejad are sustained through terror and threats from the West, including the threats of sanctions and war. He believes that such actions serve to bolster the regime and that popular support for the regime is much weaker than is assumed in the West. He contends that artists, women, and the youth are not radicals and desire freedom. <mask> argues that the image of Iran in the West has been reduced to that of only the Islamic regime itself.<mask> is the author of several books and articles, including:

<mask>    (born October 11, 1929) is a Canadian architect. In 1970, <mask> co-founded a private practice in Toronto with Ted Teshima called Moriyama & Teshima Architects which is renowned for designing many major buildings across the world, including the Canadian War Museum and the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo. His focus is on humane architecture with the pursuit of true ideals, democracy, and unanimity of all people. Early life and education
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, <mask> suffered burns as a four-year-old and was sometimes teased about his scars. During the eight months he spent bedridden after the accident, he saw an architect coming and going from a nearby construction site, "with a blueprint under his arm and a pipe in his mouth." <mask> decided then and there that he would become an architect too. <mask>'s father was an outspoken pacifist who was arrested and made a Prisoner of War for his activism.Moriyama was then twelve; his pregnant mother was left with him and his two sisters to run the family hardware store. Shortly after, he and his family were forced out of Vancouver and confined to an internment camp in the Slocan Valley of British Columbia during the Second World War. Japanese Canadians on the West Coast were classified as security threats, in a policy similar to that of the United States. He said these years were influential in his later career. <mask> has described his experiences in internment camps as miserable. During this time, his mother experienced a miscarriage, in which Moriyama then grieved the loss of a potential younger brother. He looked for a place for escape and solitude, and decided to build a treehouse outside of camp, as a lookout point.He made friends with Canadian farmers who supplied him with lumber and tools to build. He describes his experience of finding escape as such:"In despair, I decided to bathe

texts: in the Slocan River on the other side of a little mountain away from the camp. The water was glacial, but it was better than hot tears. To see who might be coming, I built an observation platform. Soon I found myself wanting to build my first architectural project, a tree house, without being found out by the RCMP. I used just an axe as a hammer, an old borrowed saw, six spikes, some nails, a rope, and mostly branches and scraps from the lumberyard. It was hard work building it by myself, and it was a lesson in economy of material and meansThat tree house, when finished, was beautiful.It was my university, my place of solace, a place to think and learn." After the war, his family reunited with his father and they resettled in Hamilton, Ontario, where he attended Westdale Secondary School and worked in a pottery factory. Ambidextrous, he was able to finish his piecework quickly, and his bosses allowed him to use his extra time to study for school. During his years in University, he ran into his childhood friend Sachi from Vancouver. When they began to date, he knew immediately that she was the one he was going to marry. He told her this many times, but she just laughed. She never believed him.They married in 1954. Together, they had five children, including two sons who also become architects, Ajon and <mask>. <mask> received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Toronto in 1954, and a Master of Architecture degree in civic and town planning from the School of Architecture at McGill University in 1957. His sons, Ajon and Jason, became principals at Moriyama + Teshima Architects after <mask> retired in 2003. In 2013, Ajon <mask> founded Ajon Moriyama Architect, doing independent work in Toronto. <mask>'s first large project as an independent architect was the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, built in 1964.

He is a part of the Japanese Order of the Rising Sun, as well as the Order of Ontario. Many of <mask>'s architectural awards recognize his excellency in materiality, landscape, and urban design.

Notable projects

Ontario Science Centre

This was <mask>'s first large-scale project as an independent architect.It was built in 1969. <mask> incorporated Confuciuan philosophies into his design, building on the ideas of tactile and experiential learning. The Science Centre functions as a place for visitors to experiment hands-on with installations. The glass facade of the front entrance has a large, exposed steel cable structure. This gesture immediately involves visitors to experience the engineering and science behind architecture, an example of experiential learning in itself. The interior lends itself to flexibility, with large open spaces fit for various installations, exhibits, and large crowds. Canadian embassy in Tokyo
<mask> designed this building during his time with <mask> + Teshima.It was built in 1991. The prominent concept of this building is the "tree house", gaining inspiration from his childhood years spent in Japanese internment camps. He replicated the feeling of youthfulness and magic of the treehouse he first built while in camp. His intention was to enable a place of social connection and welcoming for all those visiting the Embassy. The form resembles that of a temple. On the lower half, a large solid mass of concrete includes deep set windows, and above it, an asymmetrical glass peaked roof creates a light, sculptural contrast. Adjacent to the building is the Akasaka Imperial Grounds and the Takahashi Memorial Park.The building was limited in the shadows it was allowed to cast over the park, a restriction that led to its final shape. Bata Shoe Museum

Moriyama + Teshima designed the Bata Shoe Museum, built in 1995.

The interior reflects the angularity of the outside, with large open spaces for exhibitions with tilted walls. The interior is mostly wood, with "floating" display boxes with hidden supports, similar to the grand wooden staircase in the centre of the room.
