Light engraving - CORRECT ANSWERS--A cave painting technique commonly used
during the Pleistocene era, in which the image is only visible when light is shone at a
certain oblique angle (the light is often referred to as raking light). It makes finding cave
drawings notoriously difficult for researchers.
Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) - CORRECT ANSWERS--A technique similar
to photogrammetry in which 3d models can be illuminated from any angle, which makes
it much easier to detect cave drawings, specifically ones using the technique of light
engraving.
Pulsed terahertz imaging - CORRECT ANSWERS--A very recently found technology
that uses infra-red waves to penetrate through layers of prehistoric wall plaster to reveal
possible cave paintings underneath, a technique developed from full body scanners in
airport security systems, which are used to see concealed weapons or contraband. This
technique was first used in Çatalhöyük, Turkey in 2011.
Lascaux Cave - CORRECT ANSWERS--A cave in France that display over 600 cave
paintings and a thousand engravings. It was discovered in 1940 when a group of four
teenagers were trying to rescue their dog that fell down a hole, crawling into the cave
revealed hundreds of prehistoric animals painted across its walls and ceiling. It became
an extremely popular tourist attraction after WWII, but public access to the cave became
closed in 1963 because the breath and sweat of visitors created carbon dioxide and
humidity that would damage the paintings. It has no stalactites or stalagmites because
there is a layer of clay in the soil that waterproofs the cave, preserving the hundreds of
paintings and engravings within. It is believed that the many bulls and horses depicted
in the engravings and paintings are not to show what was eaten by those humans,
which would have consisted of mammoths or reindeer, but to show what their spiritual
beliefs were. Something unknown about the paintings is how long it took to complete,
though likely done by a small group over the course of years, though it could be
hundreds of years, spanning generations.
Lascaux IV - CORRECT ANSWERS--A replica created in 2017 when the French
government spent $64 million dollars building a near perfect replica to recreate the
original Lascaux cave, which was not open to tourists due to the damage it causes to
the paintings. It is very precise due to the 3d digital scanning of the actual cave, and
made with polysterine, resin, and fibreglass. The replica tries to recreate the original as
best as possible, including playing sounds of the surrounding forest played on speakers.
,It involves the traveller to go from outside to inside and back to outside. The replica also
features the hole that the boys fell down, something that was blocked off in the original
due to over heating from tourists. It has interactive tablets in its exhibits to give visitors
more information about the many displays.
Dina Casson - CORRECT ANSWERS--A member of the team that worked on the
Lascaux IV's design.
Sequencing (of a museum) - CORRECT ANSWERS--The order that a visitor of a
museum travels through its displays. It is very important to designers who want to
create an authentic experience in open-air museums.
Jean-Pierre Chadelle - CORRECT ANSWERS--An archaeologist who commends the
advanced techniques used by early humans to create the many engravings and
paintings in the Lascaux Cave. He used to give tours to the original cave.
Guillaume Colombo - CORRECT ANSWERS--Director of the museum complex at
Lascaux.
The Hall of Bulls - CORRECT ANSWERS--The first big room of the replica of the
Lascaux cave.
Thorsen Kjetilis - CORRECT ANSWERS--One of the architects of the Lascaux IV
museum, which he believes is a link between the past and present, being a
contemporary building cut into the landscape and out of the landscape.
Francis Ringenbach - CORRECT ANSWERS--Led the team of 34 artists to copied the
paintings of the original Lascaux cave onto the replica in the Lascaux IV museum
complex. He tells that often the animals depicted were placed intentionally in a part
which was easier to carve, such as replacing the eye of a bison with a natural cavity
instead of carving it.
Mono-ha - CORRECT ANSWERS--A Japanese art group that is known for juxtaposing
natural and industrial materials. It literally translates to "the School of Things". The
group gained more recognition following its emergence in the late 1960s. Despite never
forming a formal association, artists of this movement were joined by a shared
commitment to a refusal of "making", or what Lee Ufan explains as a desire to present
the world as it is, without undue interference on the part of the artist or from the viewers'
expectations concerning the artist's capacity for creation.
Mika Yoshitake - CORRECT ANSWERS--Assistant curator at the Hirschhorn Museum
and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC, he organized the Requiem for the Sun
Requiem for the Sun - CORRECT ANSWERS--An exhibition in 2012 organized by Mika
Yoshitake that is the first substantial offering of Mono-ha works in the US, and housed a
sample of some of the group's most celebrated works, including Phase-Mother Earth by
, Nobuo Sekine. It was installed in a manner that is best described as conscientious,
though it notably lacked the tension between spontaneity and control, which was a
sense of compromise in early Mono-ha works. It also treated Mono-ha's styles as
comtemporary instead of being a stark contrast to other objects considered art like
during its emergence.
Phase—Mother Earth - CORRECT ANSWERS--A piece by Nobuo Sekina in 1968 cited
as the trigger for the formation of the Mono-ha movement in Kobe. It depicts a
cylindrical 2.7-metre deep 2.2-metre in diameter hole dug into the ground and a nearby
concrete powder and dirt structure of the same shape and size. It was created with
intention linked to the Oriental philosophy that the amount of mother earth does not
change even if it is uneven. It was planned as an experiment of thought, in which an
"inverted earth" or anti-earth would form.
Lee Ufan - CORRECT ANSWERS--One of the most prolific members of the Mono-ha
group who famously explained the group's shared desire to present the world as it is,
without undue interference on the part of the artist or from viewers' expectations
concerning the artist's capacity for creation; he wished that each work was displayed
with autonomy and dependence of each object in relation to the others. He created the
works Relatum (formerly Phenomena and Perception B) (1969/2012), and Relatum
(1975/2012)
Nobuo Sekine - CORRECT ANSWERS--Created the Mono-ha piece Phase—Mother
Earth in 1968 which is often touted as the trigger for the beginning of the Japanese art
movement. He completed the Graduate Program at Tama Art University, and created
works specifically challenging the relation between the visual sensation and cognition of
artworks.
Noriyuki Haraguchi - CORRECT ANSWERS--Created the I-Beam and Wire Rope
originally in 1970 but revisited in 2012. It is touted as a response to the relentless
expansion of the built environment in Tokyo after the 1964 Olympics.
I-Beam and Wire Rope - CORRECT ANSWERS--A Mono-ha work by Noriyuki
Haraguchi originally created in 1970 but revisited in 2012. It is seen as a response to
the relentless expansion of the built environment in Tokyo after the 1964 Olympics.
Soft Concepts - CORRECT ANSWERS--A 1970 Mono-ha work by Kishio Suga that
involved the witty conflation of metal plates and poured concrete. Its display in the
Requiem for the Sun, despite the piece being intentionally witty, was very authoritative
due tot he way works were displayed in the exhibition.
Kishio Suga - CORRECT ANSWERS--Created the 1970 Mono-ha work Soft Concepts.
Phase—Mother Earth (2008) - CORRECT ANSWERS--In celebration of the 40th
anniversary of the original's creation, it is a replica of Nobuo Sekine's famous work
