Each of my books has marked the beginning of a specific phase of my life, though not necessarily its end. Changing (1971)was the product of my "formalist" or art­ educational period; it consisted primarily of essays written from 1965to 1968,with a few late additions foreshadowing my next book-Six Years: The Demateria/iza­ tion of the Art Object . (1973).From the Center (1976) and Eva Hesse (1976) documented my developing conversion to feminism, which expanded all the possibilities that had seemed to be closing down in the "cultural confinement" of the early 1970s. Get tbe Message? is the result of a need to integrate the three sometimes contradictory elements of my public (and often private) life-art, feminism, left politics. Owing to publication delays, only two essays from the last two years are included. I would like to thank the Heresies Collective, Joan Braderman, Carl Andre, May Stevens, Rudolf Baranik, Elizabeth Hess, Suzanne Lacy, Judy Chicago, Jerry Kearns and the members of PADD for everything I've learned while working with them (among many others); Lanie Lee for assistance in preparing the manuscript, Jan Hoffman for editing the Voice pieces and Agnes Zellin for photographic assistance.

In th llUl two or more years I learned more about the relationship of art ~nd artists to~1dal structures than I had in college, graduate school and ten years m the ai:t w<r,<l al­ together. Like many others, I could never again pretend ignorance (or mno.ocncc) of the way art is manipulated by greed, money and power. The AWC came at just the right moment for me. I already sens~d ti,c ;A.ft world was an unhealthy place for art and artists, but had no progres~•v~ tllE"<lry with which to analyze my discontent. By 1968 I was indirectly radicahZ!t.l, or alienated, by the competitive careerism that dominated the art ~orld.

I was loSmg,,amc of my starry-eyed idealism about art and I worried about its in~olun~a~y s1r.ir:i­ tion from daily life.

It pretends to be something else than what it appears to be. So literally that means it’s pretentious.” In conversation with a friend about my thesis, Barcelona, 2014 INTRODUCTION The first time I saw Martin Creed was in a Youtube video of a lecture that he gave in the Camberwell College of Arts in 2014. He seemed to me someone who just does things randomly; not really knowing why and what for. Creed, for example, stated not having the intention or ambition of making art. While I was watching this video, I opened a second tab and found his profile on Wikipedia. I found an impressive list of past shows and won prizes, amongst which the Turner prize in 2001. As I was reading, I started to doubt my first impression. The image of a man who seemed unsure, insecure and doubtful started to turn into a well-considered concept: an artist that deliberately chooses not to choose. I stumbled upon the following in The Guardian: Creed makes me think of a really sociable philosopher.

Feminist Periodicals: A Current Listing of Contents is published by the Office of the University of Wisconsin System Women's Studies Librarian on a quarterly basis with the intent of increasing public awareness of feminist periodicals. It is our hope that Feminist Periodicals will serve several purposes: to keep the reader abreast of current topics in feminist literature; to increase readers' familiarity with a wide spectrum of feminist periodicals; and to provide the requisite bibliographic information should a reader wish to subscribe to a journal or to obtain a particular article at her library or through interlibrary loan. (Users will need to be aware of the limitations of the new copyright law with regard to photocopying of copyrighted materials.) Table of contents pages from current issues ofmajorfeministjournalsare reproduced in each issue ofFeminist Periodicals, preceded by a comprehensive annotated listing of all journals we have selected. As publication schedules vary enormously, not every periodical will have table of contents pages reproduced in each issue of FP. The annotated listing provides the follOWing information on each journal: 1. Year of first publication. 2. Frequency of pUblication. 3.

Along the way, many people have helped me, knowingly and unknowingly, to walk unafraid. One of this work’s many points of origins was in the fall of 1998 when I started my undergrad degree in Tampere. At the intro course, Osmo Apunen drew upper case IR and lower case i.r. onto the blackboard and I struggled to understand the difference. Little did I know how significant those two pairs of letters and their relationship would become in my life. I sincerely hope this dissertation does justice to the old Tampere school of IR! From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank the two pre-examiners Christine Sylvester and Julian Reid, who approved this dissertation for publication, and Marysia Zalewski, who agreed to be my opponent at the public defense.

  • Exploring Joy and Learning in Low-Income Schools Using Design-Thinking Strategies
    Joel M. Croichy Exploring Joy and Learning in Low-Income Schools using Design-Thinking Strategies. M.F.A. Department of Design Thinking, 2019 Radford University I ii ABSTRACT: This study explored joy and learning in low-income schools using design-thinking strategies. The researcher gathered 29 individuals consisting of teachers, former students, parents of former students, administrators, counselors, and church members who come from and work in low-income schools. The researcher conducted a 10-minute activity with children ages 7-10, who attend Sunday school, where they created collages of images that showcased what brings them joy in general. In addition, two individuals who previously attended low-incomes schools journaled their experiences. Upon completion of the Sunday school activity and journaling, two workshops were conducted. The first workshop involved three design-thinking methods: rose, thorn, bud, affinity clustering and statement starters. The intention of these workshops was to identify patterns, positives, negatives, and possibilities associated with student learning and joy in low-income schools. The second workshop consisted of two design-thinking methods: round robin and visualize the vote, where participants shared ideas and passed them along until an unconventional solution was found. Results indicated that building a sense of safety in school and mental toughness by overcoming adversity could help provide joy, while poor conditions (lack of technology, gangs) in low-income schools leads to higher dropout rates. While eight patterns emerged from the affinity clustering exercise (e.g., positive communities, poor building conditions, lack of financial support, etc.), participants focused on creating stability in schools as the most important feature.

  • Louise Bourgeois Brochure
    LOUISE BOURGEOIS American, French born (1911 - 2010) The Blind Leading The Blind 1947 - 49, painted wood 70⅜ × 96⅞ × 17⅜ in. Regents Collections Acquisition Program with Match- ing Funds from the Jerome L. Greene, Agnes Gund, Sydney and Frances Lewis, and Leonard C. Yaseen Purchase Fund, 1989 Living in New York during the mid 1940s, when World War II cut her off from friends and family in France, Louise Bourgeois created vertical wood sculptures that she exhibited as loosely grouped, solitary figures. These objects represented sorely missed people and her own loneliness and isolation in America. In 1948, Bourgeois made the first of five variations of The Blind Leading The Blind as pairs of legs which, unable to stand alone, were bound together for strength by lintel like boards. The figures appear to walk tentatively on tiptoe under the boards, the weight of which presses down on the individual pairs even as it holds them togeth- er as an uneasy collective. One of the artist’s most abstract works, this sculpture takes on an anthropomorphic presence by resting directly on the floor and sharing the viewer’s space. In 1949, after being called before the House Un-American Activities Commit- tee, Bourgeois named the series The Blind Leading the Blind. The title paraphras- es Jesus’s description of the hypocritical Pharisees and scribes (Matthew 15:14): “Let them alone, they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” Exposing the folly of untested belief, unscrutinized ritual, and regimented thinking, the parable has been used as a subject by other artists.
