Niki de Saint Phalle
Niki de Saint Phalle (born Catherine-Marie-Agnès Fal de Saint Phalle, 29 October 193021
May 2002) was a French-American sculptor, painter, and filmmaker.
Widely noted as one of the few female monumental sculptors, de Saint Phalle was also known for her social commitment and work.
She had a difficult and traumatic childhood and education, which she wrote about decades later.
After an early marriage and two children, she began creating art in a naïve, experimental style.
She first received worldwide attention for angry, violent assemblages which had been shot by firearms.
These evolved into "Nanas", light-hearted, whimsical, colorful, large-scale sculptures of animals, monsters, and female figures.
Her most comprehensive work was the "Tarot Garden", a large sculpture garden containing numerous works ranging up to house-sized creations.
Her idiosyncratic style has been called "outsider art"; she had no formal training in art, but associated freely with many other contemporary artists, writers, and composers.
Throughout her creative career, she collaborated with other well-known artists such as Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Larry Rivers, composer John Cage, and architect Mario Botta, as well as dozens of less-known artists and craftspersons.
For several decades, she worked especially closely with Swiss kinetic artist Jean Tinguely, who also became her second husband.
In her later years, she suffered from multiple chronic health problems attributed to repeated exposure to glass fibers and petrochemical fumes from the experimental materials she had used in her pioneering artworks, but she continued to create prolifically until the end of her life.
A critic has observed that Saint Phalle's "insistence on exuberance, emotion and sensuality, her pursuit of the figurative and her bold use of color have not endeared her to everyone in a minimalist age".
She was well known in Europe, but her work was little-seen in the US, until her final years in San Diego.
Another critic said: "The French-born, American-raised artist is one of the most significant female and feminist artists of the 20th century, and one of the few to receive recognition in the male-dominated art world during her lifetime".
Laura Duke Condominas
Laura Duke Condominas (also known as Laura Duke, born in Boston April 1951) is the daughter of French artist and film-maker Niki de Saint-Phalle and American novelist Harry Mathews.
As an actress she is most notable for her portrayal of Guinevere in Robert Bresson's film "Lancelot du lac" (1974).
She grew up in France in the artistic and film-making milieu of her mother, and married Laurent Condominas, a model and photographer.
A daughter, Bloum, was born to them in 1971 in Bali, Indonesia.
Laurent was linked to the "Zanzibar Films" group of avant garde French film-makers, known as the "Dandies of May 1968" financed by Sylvina Boissonnas (1968–70).
He appeared in Patrick Deval's film "Acéphale".
Apart from Bresson's film Laura Duke also appeared in her mother's film "
Un rêve plus long que la nuit" (1976).
In 2008-2009, Laura hosted several key production meetings for the full-dome film "Maya Skies".
During this time, she began to develop The Curved Blackboard, a STEAM arts immersion outreach program, intended to benefit at-risk youth in the San Francisco Bay Area.
During 2015-2017, The Curved Blackboard held its first two years of classes as part of the Berkeley Unified School District, under Laura's direction.
The project was funded by the UC Berkeley Chancellor's Community Partnership Fund and the Berkeley Unified School District BALSA APEX program.
The Curved Blackboard was included in the BALSA APEX showcase May 9, 2016.
In the 2017-2018 school year, The Curved Blackboard received funding from the BUSD Strategic Impact Grants for a series of after-school programs combining art, science and practical making.
Ms. Duke currently works as a "cultural designer" in Oakland, California.

Where Was I
" Where Was I?" may refer to:
Place of birth
The place of birth( POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.
This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person.
As a general rule with respect to passports, the place of birth is determined to be the country that currently has" sovereignty" over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred.
The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live.
If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth.
In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.
Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents.
For example, Sweden has used the concept of" födelsehemortdomicile of birth") since 1947.
This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth.
The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.
Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of" Heimatortlieu d'origineluogo d'origineplace of origin" in German, French and Italian respectively).
A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin.
A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent.
In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth.
In some countries( primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase" jus soli".
Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality( ies) of the baby's parents( referred to as" jus sanguinis").
There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise.
The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality( ies) of the parents and/ or the location of the plane or ship( if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).
Some administrative forms may request the applicant's" country of birth".
It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's" place of birth" or" nationality at birth".
For US citizens born abroad who under the US Constitution acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA( American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.
