Jenny Holzer's Projections (caught by Lightningfield)
At last I've come across an unofficial shot of Jenny Holzer's Creative
Time project--this is a poem by Wislawa Szymborska projected onto the
facade of the Pennsylvania Hotel. The shot is by David Gallagher (aka
lighteningfield.com) one of my fave photobloggers.
Gallagher will be appearing on a panel called "Blogging & the Arts" hosted
by Rhizome at the New Museum of Contemporary Art / Chelsea, 556 West 22nd
Street on Tuesday, November 23 from 6:30pm-8pm:
via Rhizome:
"Rhizome.org Director of Technology Francis Hwang will lead a panel
discussion entitled Blogging and the Arts. The panel includes artist
Kabir Carter, photoblogger and journalist David Gallagher, artist and
critic Tom Moody, and artist T.Whid. The discussion will address questions
such as whether blogs will change the nature of discourse in the fine arts
field, and ways that artists and critics are integrating this new form of
communications into their own work."

Siva Vaidhyanathan Lecture @ Columbia
Siva Vaidhyanathan will be giving the third lecture in Columbia's Art &
Technology series at 6:00
PM on Thursday, November 18, in 702 Hamilton Hall (see map).
Mr. Vaidhyanathan's lecture, "Hip-hop and Sampling Culture: How Copyright
Stole the Soul," will examine the history of hip-hop and its interactions
with copyright law, digital technology, networking, and corporate
consolidation.
According to Mr. Vaidhyanathan, "Hip-hop culture emerged from an analog
environment, a function of live performance and a unique mix of Caribbean
and African-American traditions in a post-industrial environment. When its
cultural habits went digital and it emerged as a powerful commercial force
in the late 1990s, hip-hop became the subject of a major struggle over
cultural control. Since the early 1990s major commercial enterprises have
limited the transgressive power of the language of hip-hop by demanding
clearance of all digital samples. But transgression thrives in underground
and live cultural loci, including peer-to-peer networks."
Siva Vaidhyanathan is a cultural historian and media scholar. He is the
author of The Anarchist in the Library (Basic Books, 2004), and Copyrights
and Copywrongs: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How it Threatens
Creativity (New York University Press, 2001).
He has written for many periodicals, including Chronicle of Higher
Education, New York Times Magazine, MSNBC.com, Salon.com,
openDemocracy.net, and The Nation. Vaidhyanathan is an assistant professor
of Culture and Communication at New York University.
Visit Siva's blog at Sivacracy.net.
The Art & Technology Lectures will continue through with Jon Ippolito on
December 2, and Cory Arcangel on December 16.
For streaming video of previous lectures please visit the Digital Media
Center.

One of the events will take place at Cooper Union and the other at LMCC.
The first is a discussion about the photos which emerged from Abu Ghraib.
The panel will include Seymore Hirsch, who was one of the first
journalists to take on the story. The panel will also inlcude author Luc
Sante and Brian Wallis as moderator.
On Wed will also be a great event at Pace University with Raqs Media
Collective. If you or are not familiar with their work, this should be an
interesting evening.
Hope to see you at one of the events!

Subject: Sound Diplomacy
Dear Friends,
Okay, the election's over. Think of it: totally disenfranchised at last!
What to do? Here's one thing: go to www.wps1.org. art radio and click "listen"
on any link in the schedule or in the ever-deepening archive. Turn volume up.
Lend ear. Wag tongue.
Remember, this form of still-FREE expression is not ON the radio. It's on the
Internet. It's better than radio. It's art radio - talk small and large, music,
history, performance. A handy way to negotiate the perils that lie ahead - for
our culture as well as our security, social or otherwise.
On this week's www.wps1.org schedule:
- Film ("Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind") and music (Bjork) video
director Michel Gondry in a recent conversation with critic Ed Halter at MoMA.
Go to: http://www.wps1.org/include/shows/moma.html#gondry
- Edwin Torres with the perfect antidote to post-election trauma in his
healing-through-jazz-and-poetry overlays on Live Nude Radio Theater - verbal
pyrotechnics abound. Go to: http://www.wps1.org/include/shows/nude.html
- More revelations from the faraway when National Book Award nominee Lily Tuck
("The News from Paraguay" ) visits Charles Ruas' "Conversations with Writers."
Go to: http://www.wps1.org/include/shows/conversations.html#tuck
- - Got teens at home? We're ready for them: "Curbside Cassette" has been
created just for them by two Stuy High students with an encyclopedic knowledge
of music and mighty sophisticated taste in it too. Go
to:http://www.wps1.org/include/shows/curbside_cassette.html
- Imagine those students grown up and you might possibly get "The Lonely Bitter
Hour," the music program that painters Zak Smith and Jeronimo Elespe have
devised to vent their grief over ex-girlfriends. Go to:

Dear Friends,
Okay, the election's over. Think of it: totally disenfranchised at last!
What to do? Here's one thing: go to www.wps1.org. art radio and click "listen"
on any link in the schedule or in the ever-deepening archive. Turn volume up.
Lend ear. Wag tongue.
Remember, this form of still-FREE expression is not ON the radio. It's on the
Internet. It's better than radio. It's art radio - talk small and large, music,
history, performance. A handy way to negotiate the perils that lie ahead - for
our culture as well as our security, social or otherwise.
On this week's www.wps1.org schedule:
- Film ("Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind") and music (Bjork) video
director Michel Gondry in a recent conversation with critic Ed Halter at MoMA.
Go to: http://www.wps1.org/include/shows/moma.html#gondry
- Edwin Torres with the perfect antidote to post-election trauma in his
healing-through-jazz-and-poetry overlays on Live Nude Radio Theater - verbal
pyrotechnics abound. Go to: http://www.wps1.org/include/shows/nude.html
- More revelations from the faraway when National Book Award nominee Lily Tuck
("The News from Paraguay" ) visits Charles Ruas' "Conversations with Writers."
Go to: http://www.wps1.org/include/shows/conversations.html#tuck
- - Got teens at home? We're ready for them: "Curbside Cassette" has been
created just for them by two Stuy High students with an encyclopedic knowledge
of music and mighty sophisticated taste in it too. Go
to:http://www.wps1.org/include/shows/curbside_cassette.html
- Imagine those students grown up and you might possibly get "The Lonely Bitter
Hour," the music program that painters Zak Smith and Jeronimo Elespe have
devised to vent their grief over ex-girlfriends. Go to:

Re: Re: opportunities abound
Dear Jason,
sorry you took my post as an agressive response to yours--it was not
intended as such. I sent it to the list in general in response to this
thread as a whole and it wasn't meant personally; my "sorry's"
are pointed to projected general audience objections as well as to
your misconstruing (and others') of what I'm trying to do. But I forgive
you (just kidding!)

The short answer is that they are paintings about the mediation of images.
That's why they are reworked from media images--found photographs of real
events that are represented in the mass media (and elsewhere).
The long answer can be had in streaming vid with all the gory details
here, if you can bear it:

> If this is too personal, then let's use Leon Golub instead.
> Love the paintings, liked the man, but what do his paintings do besides
> document his anger about the injustices he so intensly portrays?
That is an important question, let's re-phrase it: is that how painting
functions? as a way to document emotion? Is that what he was doing?
Leon was more sophisticated than that, and in a way, until his old
age, his method and intentions pointed to something else entirely; that
doesn't mean the paintings weren't informed by his emotions as well as
the injustices. But to reduce them to embodying only that would be
inaccurate.

and this interview:
http://www.jca-online.com/golub.html
I want to add something: just because a medium is physical, like painting,
doesn't mean it's not conceptually rigorous.

I think it depends on what one sees to be "the job". I think there are
certain jobs that need to be done that may in fact have no immediately
discernable political effect. By saying that we're not doing our job,
maybe Eric reveals his assumptions about what that job should be. Maybe
some of us don't share those assumptions, and maybe some of us do.
I guess all I'm trying to say is art is an important job.
But I have to go now--do not be offended if I don't respond to whatever
happens next because I can't.
best,
Joy
