Carolyn Yarnell, curator of the show, is an American composer and visual artist. A recipient of the Rome Prize, Charles Ives Prize, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. She is particularly noted for works which combine visual and musical depictions of landscape and light, many of which were inspired by the landscapes of her native California.
The American Academy in Rome, a leading overseas research and arts institution, is situated across the Tiber on the hill Janiculum overlooking the Eternal City. Website: http://aarome.org/about
The Janiculum is a storied place in history and mythology. It was the center for the cult of Janus, the two-faced God of beginnings and endings, of time, doors and passages, his face looking both to the past and the future. It was site of the siege of Rome in 508 BC during the war between Rome and Clusium, and where the forces of Garibaldi were defeated by the French in 1849.
This exquisite hill has also brought together some of the most celebrated creators in history. It was on the Janiculum -- at the precise site where the American Academy's Casa Rustica stands today – where, on April 14, 1611, Galileo unveiled for the first time his new invention: the telescope.
The American Academy in Rome is uniquely perched in the vast range of perspective and perception, simultaneously a place where history both resides and is created. To Carolyn Yarnell, though, that transcendent place will always be safe in her heart as "Rome, sweet home."
