Each year, students, professors, and professional artists inundate the campus with their work.[Our goal has been to take this year’s celebration a step further, not merely increasing the number of exhibits and performances as we’ve done, but to pick a theme which challenges both artists and viewers to reconsider their relationship with the creative process. For the fourteenth annual Reed Arts Week, I present the theme: MANUFACTURE. What is the difference between creating and manu- facturing? Does the concept behind the production of art distin- guish the final product? How much does our idea of art depend on the notion of an organic creative process? Can a manufactured product still be art? The answers to these questions, if indeed they even have answers, depend on what it is that the artist struggles to communicate through his or her work. I hope that by encouraging this year’s RAW contributors to consider the idea of manufactured art, we will all look more closely at the "creative process", that journey from initial inspiration to a final prod- uct, and think about the basis of what it means to make art. The most important part of RAW this year is the increasing vis- ibility & versatility of the student body art. All of the student artists, as well as all the student volunteers, are the essence of RAW; being a part of art for art’s sake. Thank you all for your dedication. Siiri R.

Vollum Lounge: Wednesday- Sunday ** co-sponsored by a. installation the Art Department ** Photography by: Patrick Nagatani “Nuclear Enchantment” -and- Leigh Anne Langwell “Photograms” Patrick Nagatani’s Patrick Nagatani’sNagatani’s, “Nuclear Enchantment” is a commentary on America’s fascination with nuclear power. Nagatani uses ironic humor in his post-apocalyptic scenarios, emphasizing our inability to realistically grasp the tremendous threat of nuclear fallout. Each photograph is a collage, juxtaposing the recogn izable against the distorted horrors of nuclear destruction. Nagatani has conducted extensive research into governmental atomic activity, including nuclear dumpsites, test centers, and accidents. He balances the grave political and social implications underlying his work with an appreciation for persever- ance and regeneration, depicting otherworldly landscapes that seem enhanced by their nuclear distor- tions. An Associate Chair and Professor of Art at the University of New Mexico, and the recipient of many grants and awards, Nagatani has exhibited his photographs internationally. Leigh Anne Langwell’ Leigh Anne Langwell’Langwell’s award winning “Photograms” reflect the New Mexico artist’s background in biological and medical imaging. Langwell creates her photograms in the manufacture darkroom without a camera or negative, laying her own latex sculptures on photographic paper and exposing it to light pulses. The resulting shadowy images appear to offer a microscopic 2003 peek into the inner workings of the human body. Langwell envisions the interstitial spaces between cells as a conceptual landscape, where the abstract and literal meet. The organic quality and dark, oceanic spaces of Langwell’s photograms intermingle notions of artistic and scientific creativity. Langwell has worked as a college lecturer, graphic artist, and a technical writer, and has been exhibiting her photography nationally since 1993. She has been recognized with many awards, including the James D. Phelan Award, a Wilard Van Dyke Memorial Grant, and a Francis Elkins fellowship at the University of New Mexico. e. lectureLecture by Patrick & Leigh Anne on nuclear mauf- acturing & photograms.

Glass art Wednesday-Sunday encompasses a wide range of subjects, from the classic Venetian goblets to free form sculpture. Each handcrafted piece is a unique blend of imagination, technique, and chemistry. Diane Ahrendt, proprietor of dragonfly studios, finds “a strange delight in smashing a vase or bowl that didn’t turn out right, only to use it in the next piece with wonderful results.” Toledo, a painter and glass blower, has found the light and color properties in glassblowing to be similar to painting, although the reflective and refractive prop- erties in glass are real rather than implied. These pieces remind the viewer that the production of utilitarian objects can be an inspired, creative act.

Installation Pete Beeman “Portrait of the Artist as a Schoolboy” On displayd in Vollum Pete Beeman, a Portland based artist, applies Lounge: Wenesday- his engineering skills to the design of interactive ki- Sunday. netic sculptures. Based around ideas of motion, his sculptures come to life with a blend of clumsiness and grace. Beeman calls the functions of his objects “extravagant and useless, more often a play on utility than they are utile.” For Beeman, engaging art is a form of communication. His creations confront our society’s emphasis on efficiency, questioning the meaning of utility and functionality. Beeman holds a Master’s Degree from Stanford University in Art and Mechanical Engineering, and has exhibited his sculptures nationally.

Smith ii ABSTRACT My paper questions the degree to which the hip hop subculture is oppositional to mainstream American society and its ideals. Toward that end, I examine the structure of the hip hop industry and its subculture. While the hip hop subculture in America consistently has projected images of rebellion and resistance to many of the mores, constraints and values of dominant society, the actual structure and organization of the hip hop subculture have mirrored, supported and promoted the values of the dominant culture in the United States. I begin by examining the structure of the main elements of the hip hop subculture: deejaying, breakdancing, emceeing and graffiti art, and the practices within each to demonstrate that the hip hop subculture has a structure which supports capitalistic practices.

We figured now is as good a time as any to look back at some of our favorite Bullseye interviews. [Music ends.] So, a 2018 conversation with the great Boots Riley. Boots is, hands down, one of the most interesting people making art today. Among other things, he’s the front man of The Coup, one of my favorite rap groups of all time. The Coup make straightforward music. The beats never had a lot of frills. Boots, when he raps, does so plainly. But the central element of The Coup is its message. Boots told stories, when he rapped: painted pictures from his real life. He talked about social justice and poverty and racism. [Music fades in.] A lot of hip-hop is about prosperity, overcoming a system that’s been rigged against you for centuries. Success stories, in other words. The Coup—with Boots as the front man—want to the throw the system out entirely.

Yusuke Torii [要約] 米国カリフォルニア州オークランドを拠点とするヒップホップ・グループ「ザ・クー」を率 いるラッパー、ブーツ・ライリー (Boots Riley, 1971-)は、共産主義者を名乗り、自分の音楽活 動の最終的な目的は体制の根本的な変革であると公言し、様々な労働運動、反人種差別運動に 身を投じている。都心の貧困地区に暮らす黒人と移民のサブカルチャーとして出発した歴史を 持つヒップホップは元来政治的メッセージと無縁ではないが、アメリカの資本主義体制を否定 するような急進主義は決して一般的ではない。またライリーが音楽活動を始めた 1990 年代に は、新自由主義政策の下でアメリカの音楽産業の統合と寡占化が進み、ヒップホップという音 楽ジャンルもポピュラー音楽の主流に取り込まれ、政治色の強いヒップホップ・アーチストが 商業的な成功を収めることは既に困難になりつつあった。こうした中、ライリーがポピュラー 音楽市場におけるアーチストとして四半世紀にわたるキャリアを築いていることは特筆に値す る。本稿は、ライリーの作品群とメディアでの発言を主な資料とし、彼の標榜する「共産主義」 はいかなるビジョンであるのか、現代のヒップホップとアメリカ社会にいかなる批評を加えて いるのか、そして、いかに作品の批評性と、活動の維持に不可欠なエンタテイメント性を両立 しているのかを分析する。 ─ 75 ─ Yusuke Torii ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Introduction On August 23, 2014, Mahall’s in Lakewood, Ohio, was hosting its annual Lakewood Music Festival. Prior to the show, Boots Riley of the Coup from Oakland, California, and Kelly Flamos, Mahall’s owner and show coordinator, were invited for an interview at the local Fox 8 Cleveland studio. Autumn Ziemba of Fox 8 opened the interview with a kind of question any interviewers would ask, “Tell us a little bit about your band and the lineup that people are gonna hear today.” Riley answered in a soft- spoken, cordial manner: Riley: Uhm, we are punk, funk / communist revolution band. Ziemba: Okay... Riley: And we are from Oakland, California. We make everybody dance, while telling them about how we need to get rid of the system, how exploitation is the primary contradiction in capitalism, and that if we wanna express our power, we’re gonna have to be more radical in our actions. We’re going to have to be able to withhold our labor collectively, to be able to demand and affect the changes that we need to make.
