  • Adrian Piper: a Catalyst for Social Change

    Adrian Piper: a Catalyst for Social Change

    1 Dwayne Hallager Professor Leah Peterson D-COM: Digital Media 19 April 2012 Adrian Piper: A Catalyst for Social Change Adrian Piper is more than meets the eye – literally. Piper can best be described as a conceptual artist with an ever-changing identity that reflects the struggles of black Americans and women in society. As a first-generation conceptual artist, her vast educational record attending and teaching at Harvard University, along with several other high scholastic institutions, allowed her to address issues of race, gender, and inequality as she transformed her body and physical presence to share her ideas. By incorporating her own identity in her work, and through the extensive practice of education and philosophy, Adrian Piper has exercised several mediums to produce art that has acted as a catalyst for social change. Similar to most artists, Adrian Piper has a compelling story for when she first recognized her inspiration to become an artist. In an interview with George Yancy, Piper describes her early childhood experiences growing up in a confusing and conflicting middle class neighborhood where her family was one of few black families in the area. It was here that Piper, a product of a German, Madagascan, and Nigerian lineage, first became aware of the situation that allowed her and several of her relatives to pass for white (Yancy 52). Piper claims that her parents and grandmother were responsible for her burning desire and passion to practice art and philosophy. The journey began first with her grandmother teaching her to draw and paint before age three; then following, the influence of her father’s being a lawyer and strong advocate for education, in addition to her mother’s analytical reasoning and logical 2 thinking, propelled Piper in her direction toward philosophy and an interest in artful expression (Yancy 55).
  • Women of Color As Artists

    Women of Color As Artists

    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1996 Volume III: Race and Representation in American Cinema Women of Color as Artists Curriculum Unit 96.03.09 by Val-Jean Belton The New Haven public school system is a melting pot of many different cultures. The Fair Haven Middle school where I am one of two art teachers, is culturally very diverse. The student body is 65% Hispanic, 25% African American, and 10% White or other. I have observed that these students have little appreciation for visual arts. By offering lessons that center on various themes that are associated with their cultural heritage, I am able to gain and retain their attention. My lessons are taught in this particular manner in the hope that my students might better understand each others’ cultural heritage through hands-on experience in art. Despite my efforts to develop and teach art lessons that are not only culturally enriching but offer hands-on experience, I have had a tendency not to include information about the vast number of women artists. I have especially failed to include African American and Hispanic women artists who have contributed to our cultural experience. Although women artists have made major contributions to the art world, the extent of their accomplishments have been overshadowed by male artists such as Pablo Picasso, Jacob Lawrence, and Henri Matisse. There is little information available concerning women artists of African American and Hispanic descents available in our art curriculum, so they have not been included in the visual art classes that I teach.

    Release: September 11, 2018 Contact: Nancy Lee, 310-443-7016, [email protected] Adrian Piper: Concepts and Intuitions, 1965–2016 On View October 7, 2018 – January 6, 2019 Organized by The Museum of Modern Art (Los Angeles, CA)— The Hammer Museum presents Adrian Piper: Concepts and Intuitions, 1965– 2016, the most comprehensive West Coast exhibition to date of the work of Adrian Piper (b. 1948, New York). Organized by The Museum of Modern Art, this expansive retrospective features more than 270 works gathered from public and private collections from around the world, and encompasses a wide range of mediums that Piper has explored for over 50 years: drawing, photography, works on paper, video, multimedia installations, performance, painting, sculpture, and sound. On view from October 7, 2018 through January 6, 2019, Adrian Piper: Concepts and Intuitions, 1965–2016 is the first West Coast museum presentation of Piper’s works in more than a decade, and her first since receiving the Golden Lion Award for Best Artist at the 56th Venice Biennale of 2015 and Germany’s Käthe Kollwitz Prize in 2018. Piper’s groundbreaking, transformative work has profoundly shaped the form and content of Conceptual art since the 1960s, exerting an incalculable influence on artists working today. Her investigations into the political, social, and spiritual potential of Conceptual art frequently address gender, race, and xenophobia through incisive humor and wit, and draw on her long-standing involvement with philosophy and yoga. “Adrian Piper’s fifty-year career

    Adrian Piper, Then and Again

    Adrian Piper, Then and Again Isaiah Matthew Wooden hile ambling through the special exhibition gallery space on the Museum of Modern Art’s (MoMA) sixth floor where nearly three Whundred works by the visual artist, philosopher, and self-avowed yoga enthusiast Adrian Piper were on view in Adrian Piper: A Synthesis of Intuitions, 1965–2016 (March 31–July 22, 2018), I found myself surprisingly overcome by an intense bout of emotions. Minutes after they had first piqued my curiosity, I decided to make my way over to a trio of what, from a distance, looked like family photos—one in black-and-white, and two in color—to read the passage on display alongside them. The text, I discovered upon scanning it attentively, told the story of a married couple that had once shared a deep passion for socializing, dancing, loving one another, and cigarette smoking. Although the wife had given up the latter habit in her fifties, contracting emphysema some time thereafter, the husband found it impossible to desist from puffing. Cancer would ultimately take over his pharynx, throat, and mouth, leaving her to watch him waste away into death. She, the passage explained, would press on for as long as she could, but when the struggle to breathe became too overwhelming, she took to praying to rejoin her love, smiling at the thought of their eventual reunion. I adjusted my stance after coming to the end of the passage to inspect the black- and-white photograph featuring a younger version of the couple, sharply dressed, holding each other intimately in front of a non-descript skyline.

    Philosophy En Route to Reality: a Bumpy Ride ______

    Journal of World Philosophies Intellectual Journeys/106 Philosophy En Route to Reality: A Bumpy Ride ________________________________________ ADRIAN M. S. PIPER APRA Foundation Berlin ([email protected]) My intellectual journey in philosophy proceeded along two mountainous paths that coincided at their base, but forked less than halfway up the incline. The first is that of my philosophical development, a steep but steady and continuous ascent. It began in my family, and accelerated in high school, art school, college, and graduate school. Those foundations propelled my philosophical research into the nature of rationality and its relation to the structure of the self, a long-term project focused on the Kantian and Humean metaethical traditions in Anglo-American analytic philosophy. It would have been impossible to bring this project to completion without the anchor, compass, and conceptual mapping provided by my prior, longstanding involvement in the practice and theory of Vedic philosophy. The second path is that of my professional route through the field of academic philosophy, which branched onto a rocky detour in graduate school, followed by a short but steep ascent, followed next by a much steeper, sustained descent off that road, into the ravine, down in flames, and out of the profession. In order to reach the summit of the first path, I had to reach the nadir of the second. It was the right decision. My yoga practice cushioned my landing. Keywords: Yoga; Vedānta; Sāṁkhya; Vedic philosophy; Spinoza; LSD; art; Kant; Hume; behaviorism; Rawls; metaethics; decision theory; Humean; Kantian My love of analytic philosophy is an inherited trait. My father was a lawyer and lawyer’s son whose Jesuit college training found expression in metaphysical speculation and dialectical arguments with me.

Degree awarded December 2012 ii © 2012 Jessica DiTillio iii THESIS ABSTRACT Jessica DiTillio Master of Arts Department of the History of Art and Architecture December 2012 Title: Perverse Fascination: Medium, Identity, and Performativity in the Art of Kara Walker Kara Walker is one of the most successful and widely known contemporary African-American artists today—remarkable for her radical engagement with issues of race, gender, and sexuality. Walker is best known for her provocative installations, composed of cut-paper silhouettes depicting fantastic and grotesque scenes of the antebellum South. This thesis examines Walker’s work in silhouettes, text, and video in order to establish the unifying logic that unites her media. Walker’s use of racist stereotypes has incited vehement criticism, and the debate over the political meaning of her work has been worked and reworked in the voluminous literature on her artistic practice.

Furthermore, I sketch an alternative solution to the challenge which this theory confronts. The main challenge in the political liberalism of Rawls and Larmore is the difficult reconciliation between, on the one hand, the value of justice seen as the ultimate and substantive standard for the assessment of institutions and policies and, on the other hand, the pervasive pluralism of ideas of the good life and their supporting world views, in contemporary liberal societies. Political liberalism reconciles these by considering that principles of justice can be consensual in a pluralist society because they are political, not comprehensive (according to Rawls) or neutral in their justifications (according to Larmore).
