# Alec Gores

Alec E. Gores (born 1953) is an American billionaire businessman who began making his fortune through leveraged buyouts of technology firms at the firm The Gores Group. He has also been instrumental in popularizing SPACs, beginning in the mid-2010s.

## Early life

Gores was born in 1953 in Nazareth, Israel. He is from a Catholic family, the son of a Greek father and a Lebanese mother. His family moved to Flint, Michigan in November 1968 when he was 15 years old. He began working at his uncle's store in Flint, bagging groceries for 25 cents an hour. He attended Genesee High School in Genesee, Michigan. He obtained a degree in computer science from Western Michigan University, and was the first in his family to attend college.

## Career

Gores began working for General Motors after completing college. He left within six months, starting his own company that bought and distributed computers. In 1978, he founded Executive Business Systems with an $8,000 investment from his father. By 1986 the company employed over 200 people and was acquired by CONTEL for approximately $2 million.
Following the acquisition, Gores began acquiring and operating non-core businesses. In 1987 he founded The Gores Group, a private equity firm that has since acquired or invested in over 130 companies. Gores pioneered the operational approach to private equity investing, initially deploying his own personal capital, followed by ~$4 billion of institutional capital across multiple investment vehicles. Marquee investments during this time included the carve-out of The Learning Company from Mattel; Verifone from HP; Therakos from Johnson & Johnson; Lineage, which ultimately sold to GE; and Sagemcom, which evolved into one of France’s premier technology companies.
Gores and his brother Tom have been involved in a number of deals together including the 2011 acquisition of Alliance Entertainment, which distributes DVDs, CDs and video games to stores such as Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com and Target.
In 2020, Forbes ranked Gores No. 391 on the Forbes 400 list of America's wealthiest people. He was selected as 2021 Business Person of the Year by LA Business Journal. Gores has also been profiled in The Wall Street Journal.

# Benno C. Schmidt Sr.

Benno Charles Schmidt Sr. (January 10, 1913 – October 21, 1999) was an American lawyer and venture capitalist who was active in New York City civic affairs and played an important role in the initiation of the War on Cancer.

## Life and career

Born in Abilene, Texas, Schmidt grew up in that city in a household that was not financially well-off, but placed an emphasis on education. His father died when he was 12, so his mother's job as a secretary supported the family.
Schmidt was educated at the University of Texas, where he received both his A.B. and law degrees in 1936. At Texas he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and the Texas Cowboys. After receiving his law degree, he spent time as a member of the Texas law school faculty and at Harvard Law School as a Thayer Teaching Fellow. In 1942, following the United States' entrance into World War II, he enlisted in the U.S. Army. During his military service he rose to the rank of Colonel and was awarded several medals, including the Legion of Merit and Bronze Star Medal.
In late 1945, Jock Whitney invited him to join a new business he wanted to start to finance new companies seeking to capitalize on newly identified markets and social needs. In 1946 he became a partner in the business that Whitney had proposed, venture capital firm J.H. Whitney & Company. He became managing partner in 1960 and remained in that position until 1992.
Schmidt is credited with coining the term venture capital to describe the area of providing early or "seed" capital to aspiring entrepreneurs. The term was a shortening of the word "adventure".
One of the Whitney & Co.'s first investments was the Spencer Chemical Company, which was formed to acquire a nitrate explosives plant in Kansas that was being declared surplus by the U.S. government and convert the plant to produce ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Whitney and Schmidt put $1.5 million of Whitney's funds into Spencer and reaped a 20-fold profit on their investment. Another of Schmidt's successful initiatives at J.H. Whitney & Co. was acquiring an early stake in Minute Maid. Schmidt championed that investment over the Whitney's initial concern about the "tinny" taste of the company's orange juice concentrate.
Schmidt served on the boards of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, CBS and Freeport-McMoRan, among others. He was a trustee of the Whitney Museum of American Art. In 1971 U.S. President Richard M. Nixon appointed him to the chairmanship of the President's Cancer Panel, which initiated the U.S. federal government's War on Cancer.
Schmidt was the chairman of Vertex Pharmaceuticals board and one of its largest early investors.
Schmidt had five sons, including Benno C. Schmidt Jr., who was President of Yale University and Dean of Columbia Law School.
Schmidt died from heart failure in October 1999 at the age of 86.
# Catherine Bolduc

Catherine Bolduc (born 1970 in Quebec, Canada) is a contemporary visual artist.

## Biography

Catherine Bolduc acquired a B.A. in Art History from the Université de Montréal in 1993. She has a B.A. in Fine Arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal, which she completed in 1997, and in 2005 Bolduc got a M.F.A. in Fine Arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal as well. In 2007–08 Bolduc did a residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin,
In 2017 she was nominee for the Prix du Recit, awarded by Radio Canada. Her work is included in the collection of the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec and the City of Montreal public art collection.

## Themes and motifs

Bolduc takes a feminist stance in her practice. Catherine Bolduc's art pieces are an invitation to experience fantasy but also where magic reveals its dark side, her aesthetic intention is to oscillate between the evocation of human vulnerability in front of the discrepancy of reality with desires and the reconciliation by a celebration of the poetic power of the banal.

## Grants and awards

She won the Powerhouse Prize from La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse (2013),

## Notable solo shows

In 2015 she created La femme dans la lune/Her Head in the Clouds in The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery Division in Saint John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. In 2019 Parallel life was displayed at Galerie D-Este in Montreal and was one of the first times Bolduc focused her drawings in an exhibition, the first being La femme dans la lune. The most recent was Late Cosmetics, at the Val-David Exhibition Center in Quebec.

## Public art

In 2014 she created Domestic Angels in the City of Montreal (Bureau d'art public, Cty of Montreal). In 2016 she had two public art commissions in Quebec, Fais de beaux rêves and La Ronde des Choux.

## Critic reviews

Critics generally praise Bolduc's exuberant artistic methods. In her work for The Parallel Life, she is praised for sticking to her signature as her watercolours and acrylic drawings reflects the extravagance of her previous installations, Bolduc uses the same approach to infuse imagination and illusion into generic objects. Bolduc contrasts the rigid appearance of the drawings with a series of colourful explosions. In My air châteaux, Bolduc is praised for her liberating use of bright colours as she uses them to disguise reality.
For her work in La femme dans la lune, Bolduc disrupts the problematic narrative of peaceful colonization and empty Canadian landscapes by creating art that is filled with uncertainty, darkness, and erasure. Bolduc makes a powerful statement against terra nullius and does a good job at reminding viewers of the problematic histories that are filled with possession, erasure, and exploitation.

# Cello Concerto (Rorem)

The Cello Concerto is a concerto for solo cello and orchestra by the American composer Ned Rorem. The work was commissioned by the Residentie Orchestra and the Kansas City Symphony for the cellist David Geringas. Its world premiere was given by Geringas and the Kansas City Symphony under the direction of Michael Stern on March 28, 2003.

## Composition
### Background

In the score program notes, Rorem wrote, "When David Geringas came to visit in early 2000 I was pleased by his wish for a new piece. Since I already had a Violin Concerto, and a Double Concerto for Violin & Cello, a Cello Concerto would round off a perfect program." The composer began work on the concerto two years later, completing it during the summer of 2002.

### Structure

The concerto has a duration of approximately 22 minutes and is cast in eight movements:
* Curtain Raise
* There and Back
* Three Queries, One Response
* Competitive Chaos
* A Single Tone, A Dozen Implications
* One Coin, Two Sides
* Valse Rappelée
* Adrift

### Instrumentation

The work is scored for a solo cello and an orchestra consisting of two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, harp, piano, and strings.

## Reception

The cello concerto has been praised by music critics. Reviewing a 2007 recording of the work, Bryce Morrison of Gramophone wrote, "In the Cello Concerto Rorem happily eschews a conventional form, giving programmatic subtitles to each section. These range from 'Curtain Raise' to 'Adrift', offering Wen-Sinn Yang a rich opportunity, whether playing primus inter pares or revelling in Rorem’s alternating nostalgia and effervescence. Finely recorded, it’s a clear winner for the Naxos American Classics series. Alex Ross of The New Yorker similarly observed, "The recent Cello Concerto nods several times to favorite predecessors—pealing, dissonant fanfares recall Messiaen; a kind of slide show of contrasting chords brings back the Interview Scene in Britten's Billy Budd—but it also includes three extended songs without words which could have been composed only by Rorem, each one sadder, lonelier, kindlier than the next."

## Recording

A recording of the concerto, performed by the cellist Wen-Sinn Yang and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by José Serebrier, was released through Naxos Records in September 2007. The album also features a performance of Rorem's Piano Concerto No. 2.

## Release

The film had theatrical showings in North America as part of the Rendez-vous with French Cinema series 2014 program.

## Critical response

Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter called it a "low-key kind of dramedy" and a "quirky French indie that gets by more on style and sass than on its storytelling skills, [...] With endearing performances and crafty 16mm imagery, but also a tad too many winks to the camera, this Cannes ACID sidebar selection should see additional fest and niche art-house play".
Ronnie Scheib of Variety commented that "[i]n Sebastien Betbeder's playfully arty 2 Autumns, 3 Winters, three protagonists offer self-conscious riffs on their every thought and action, directly addressing the camera to describe past happenings, present happenings or what's about to occur momentarily. Mundane actions, trite exchanges and life-altering events all undergo the same literary alchemy, creating a matter-of-fact, Woody Allen-ish sense of complicity with the viewer. Maintaining a bemused, sometimes comic distance, Betbeder traces how happenstance crystallizes into biography as his characters traverse the titular seasons, with results that will delight some and alienate others."
Mike Russell of The Oregonian gave it a 'B' grade saying "[a] fair amount of traumatic stuff happens in 2 Autumns, 3 Winters [... b]ut writer/director Sébastien Betbeder's French seriocomic romance still feels light (or emotionally distant, depending), thanks to the film's fusillade of stylistic tics."
