Relational aesthetics

categories:

 painting by Jackson Pollack

Many ideas are colliding in my internal artist’s discourse. On the one hand Rob has pointed out Nicolas Bourriaud’s piece relational aesthetics. He says that Art Dirt Redux and my high definition morph video database pieces are relational aesthetics.

Punishment Park

categories:

... In March 1974, at an American state college, some of the faculty became very angry following a showing of Punishment Park to students. One teacher began calling out: "The film is a distortion... you are adolescent, Mr. Watkins! Where have you been all the time? You feel such anguish. We feel so sorry for you - don't you know that man has always behaved like this, ever since he crawled out of the cave and began using a club?" This teacher, a professor of Romantic Literature, became more and more angry as he shouted: "And what will happen? You and I will be shouting at each other, on our different sides of the room, becoming more and more violent..." Another teacher admitted that a "fantasy" of his was that Richard Nixon might seize arbitrary control of the country with the armed forces, before his senate trial. But, the teacher cried out: "I would never inflict that fantasy on others! I don't think you should deal with the future like this, you shouldn't talk about the future... you shouldn't inflict others with your feelings about the future..." A little later, this teacher left the room.

Airport Insecurity

categories:

While the government wants you to believe that increased protection and reduced rights are necessary to protect you from terrorism, the effectiveness of airport security practices is uncertain. You can play this game at 138 featured U.S. airports.

Airport Insecurity allows you to explore these issues in context: the game's rules are based on government reports about airport security practices since 2002. Players are encouraged to play the game while waiting in line at airport security.

About NYU Strike

PLEASE HELP US HEAD OFF FIASCO AT NYU

Teaching assistants at NYU conducted a union drive in 1999-2000, won an election, and affiliated with the United Auto Workers (in a local that also includes other educational professionals in NYC such as Museum of  Modern Art and New York Historical Society employees). The NYU administration fought hard against the union but was ultimately forced to recognize and negotiate with it by the National Labor Relations Board. There  followed a 3 year contract that brought the teaching assistants health benefits and a stipend increase. During  this time the university ran quite smoothly.

Dear Students,

In case you were not there when I announced in class.
I will be out of towns till this Tuesday Nov 29 but will be around Thursday Nov 31 to help with your final projects.  I would also like to apologize for missing class Tuesday this week--I had every intention of going after picking my husband up at the airport but my husband was detained by Homeland Security, interrogated by the FBI, kept in a detention center in Aurora overnight, and deported to Mexico the next day at the Denver airport--probably because they found a brochure in his luggage about the border art festival we were in in San Diego/Tijuana which seemed to them a terrorist organization..I had to spend the last few days talking to lawyers, an activity which I assume will become a regular part of my life for a while...Anyways Happy Thanksgiving and see you next week.
Anne-Marie
