FROM SEPTEMBER 17, 2009 TO JANUARY 23,, 2010, AMERICAS SOCIETY PRESENTED FERNELL FRANCO: AMARRADOS [BOUND]. FERNELL FRANCO (CALI 1942-2006) IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE FEW PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO DEVELOPED A DISTINCT LYRICAL VIEW OF THE SHIFT TOWARDS MODERNITY IN LATIN AMERICA. THE EXHIBITION IS FOCUSED ON A SERIES OF LARGE-SCALE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS DEVELOPED BY FRANCO IN THE EARLY 1980S, FEATURING 20 VINTAGE PRINTS AND A NUMBER OF PREPARATORY STUDIES THAT HE PRODUCED IN ORDER TO CREATE THE SERIES. FROM 1980S ONWARD FRANCO WORKED ON THE SERIES FEATURING WRAPPED UP DEVICES AND ISOLATED INANIMATE OBJECTS TYPICALLY USED BY INFORMAL VENDORS TO PROTECT THEIR MERCHANDISE IN STREET MARKETS IN COLOMBIA AND OTHER COUNTRIES OF LATIN AMERICA, THE IMAGES ARE DEVOID OF HUMAN PRESENCE CONVEYING DEATH, SOLITUDE, VIOLENCE, ABANDONMENT, AND MYSTERY.

MARTA MINUJIN WAS A PROMINENT VOICE OF THE ARGENTINE NEO-AVANT-GARDE ART SCENE IN THE 1960S AND 70S, WITH A BRILLIANT INTERNATIONAL CAREER THAT HELPED TO DEFINE THE DISCUSSION ABOUT MEDIA, PERFORMANCE AND PARTICIPATION. SHE IS OFTEN MENTIONED AS ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF "HAPPENINGS." MARTA MINUJIN'S MINUCODE (1968), ORIGINALLY COMMISSIONED BY THE CENTER FOR INTER-AMERICAN RELATIONS (NOW KNOWN AS AMERICAS SOCIETY), EXPLORED SOCIAL CODES IN FOUR GROUPS OF LEADING FIGURES IN THE ARTS, BUSINESS, FASHION, AND POLITICS IN NEW YORK THROUGH A SERIES OF COCKTAIL PARTIES/HAPPENINGS. DEEPLY INTERESTED IN MARSHALL MCLUHAN'S THEORIES ABOUT THE MASS MEDIA, MINUJIN CREATED AN ELECTRONIC ENVIRONMENT WITH FILM FOOTAGE AND LIGHT AND SOUND SHOWS PRODUCED DURING THE HAPPENINGS.

THE PIECES EXHIBITED WERE PRODUCED IN THE JEQUETEPEQUE VALLEY OF PERU FOR OVER 3,000 YEARS. THIS REGION MAINTAINED A UNIQUE CHARACTER WHICH DISTINGUISHED IT FROM OTHER AREAS ALONG THE NORTHERN COAST. AT MANY TIMES IN ITS HISTORY, THE JEQUETEPEQUE VALLEY FORMED PART OF THE MOCHICA, LAMBAYEQUE, AND CHIMU STATES, AND, FINALLY, OF THE INCA EMPIRE. THE SOCIETIES THAT FLOURISHED THERE MAINTAINED CERTAIN AUTONOMY WITH RESPECT TO THESE GREAT DEVELOPMENTS. THEIR SOCIAL ORGANIZATION AND POTTERY STYLES THUS PRESERVED SPECIFIC CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS AND REPRESENT A SYSTEM OF BELIEFS BASED ON A UNIVERSE OF IMAGES AND SYMBOLS THAT ARE EXPRESSED IN THE PIECES EXHIBITED, MANY OF WHICH ARE CONSIDERED MASTERPIECES OF PRE-COLUMBIAN ART.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
DESCRIPTION OF INTENDED USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS: PART V, LINE 4: THE SOCIETY'S ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF VARIOUS INDIVIDUAL GIFTS ESTABLISHED PRIMARILY TO SUPPORT THE MISSION OF THE SOCIETY. ITS ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS. AS REQUIRED BY GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SOCIETY HAS INTERPRETED NYPMIFA AS REQUIRING THE PRESERVATION OF THE VALUE OF THE ORIGINAL GIFT AS OF THE GIFT DATE OF THE DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS ABSENT EXPLICIT DONOR STIPULATIONS TO THE CONTRARY, OR IN THOSE CASES WHERE THE LAW ALLOWS APPROPRIATION FOR SPENDING OF THE ORIGINAL GIFT AMOUNTS. AS A RESULT OF THIS INTERPRETATION, THE BOARD CLASSIFIES AS PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS (A) THE ORIGINAL VALUE OF THE GIFTS DONATED TO THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT, (B) THE ORIGINAL VALUE OF SUBSEQUENT GIFTS TO THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT, AND (C) ACCUMULATIONS OF INVESTMENT RETURNS TO THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIRECTION OF THE APPLICABLE DONOR GIFT INSTRUMENT AT THE TIME THE ACCUMULATION IS ADDED TO THE FUND. THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUND THAT IS NOT CLASSIFIED AS PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS IS CLASSIFIED AS TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS UNTIL THOSE AMOUNTS ARE APPROPRIATED FOR EXPENDITURE BY THE BOARD IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THE STANDARD OF PRUDENCE PRESCRIBED BY NYPMIFA. ENDOWMENT ASSETS INCLUDE BOTH THOSE ASSETS OF DONOR-RESTRICTED ACCUMULATED EARNINGS. THE SOCIETY'S INVESTMENT POLICY, AS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, UTILIZES A TOTAL RETURN INVESTMENT APPROACH. ENDOWMENT ASSETS ARE INVESTED IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ASSET CLASSES AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES TO DIVERSIFY INVESTMENTS AND PROVIDE A BALANCE THAT WILL ENHANCE THE LONG-TERM TOTAL RETURN OF THE OVERALL INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO WHILE AVOIDING UNDUE RISK OR CONCENTRATION IN ANY SINGLE ASSETS CLASS OR INVESTMENT. TARGET ALLOCATION PERCENTAGES AND OPERATING RANGES ARE ESTABLISHED FOR VARIOUS ASSET CLASSES. PERFORMANCE IS MEASURED AGAINST VARIOUS COMPOSITE BENCHMARK INDICES REFLECTING TARGET ASSET ALLOCATION. UNDER THE SOCIETY'S SPENDING POLICY, UP TO 5% OF THE AVERAGE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30 OF THE PREVIOUS THREE YEARS IS AVAILABLE FOR APPROPRIATION. FOR 2010 THIS AMOUNT TOTALED $1,579,884.
DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48: PART X: THE SOCIETY RECOGNIZES THE EFFECT OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS ONLY WHEN THEY ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT OF BEING SUSTAINED. MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THE SOCIETY HAD NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE.
