Douglass’ farm stood on the outskirts of town, amongst sparsely settled hills not far from the Genesee River. The Douglasses did not sell their Alexander Street house. They held it as the first of several real estate investments, which were the foundation of financial security for them as for many enterprising African American families. 71 The Douglasses’ second residence consisted of a farm with a framed dwelling, orchard and barn.

  • Affective Temporalities in Gob Squad’S Kitchen (You’Ve Never Had It So Good)
    56 ANA PAIS AFFECTIVE TEMPORALITIES IN GOB SQUAD’S KITCHEN (YOU’VE NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD) In this article I will be drawing upon affect theory to unpack issues of authenticity, mediation, participation in the production Gob Squads’s Kitchen, by Gob Squad. English/German collective reconstructed Andy Warhol’s early film Kitchen, shot 47 years before, in the flamboyant Factory, starring ephemeral celebrities such as Eve Sedgwick. Alongside Eat (1964), Sleep (1963) and Screen Test (1964-66). Although it premièred in Berlin, in 2007, the show has been touring in several countries and, in 2012, it received the New York Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience.I will be examining how the production’s spatial dispositive creates a mediated intimacy that generates affective temporalities and how their performativity allows us to think of the audience as actively engaged in an affective resonance with the stage. Intimacy creates worlds (Berlant 2000). It brings audience and performer closer not only to each other but also to the shifting moment of Performance Art’s capture by institutional discourses and market value. Unleashing affective temporalities allows the audience to embody its potency, to be, again, “at the beginning”.Drawing upon André Lepecki’s notion of reenactments as activations of creative possibilities, I will be suggesting that Gob Squads’s Kitchen merges past and present by disclosing accumulated affects, promises and deceptions attached to the thrilling period of the sixties in order to reperform a possibility of a new beginning at the heart of a nowthen time. In conclusion, this article will shed new light on the performative possibilities of affect to surmount theatrical separation and weave intensive attachments.

  • I1465 I SHOT ANDY WARHOL (USA, 1996) (Other Titles: Ho Sparato a Andy Warhol)
    I1465 I SHOT ANDY WARHOL (USA, 1996) (Other titles: Ho sparato a Andy Warhol) Credits: director, Mary Harron ; writers, Mary Harron, Daniel Minahan. Cast: Lili taylor, Jared Harris, Stephen Dorff, Martha Plimpton. Summary: Biographical melodrama set in 1960s New York City. A journey into the cultural whirlwind of events surrounding Valerie Solanas’ shooting of pop-art superstar Andy Warhol. Solanis (Taylor) arrived in mid-‘60s New York City with a single-minded mission: to spread the word on female superiority. While feverishly putting her radical ideas down on paper, she becomes a fringe member of the psychedelic entourage surrounding Andy Warhol (Harris). But when her feminist zeal grows too bizarre and violent, even for this avant-garde circle, the consequences are explosive. Includes passing references to the anti-Vietnam War movement.

LATER LIFE 10. DEATH AND LEGACY This drawin—published in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper on April 7, 1877 (at page 85)—shows Frederick Douglass as a U.S. Marshall. Online, courtesy Library of Congress. In 1881, Frederick was invited to the inauguration of President Garfield (who was assassinated a few months later). While chief executive, Garfield made Douglass recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Working in the recorder’s office was a white woman named Helen Pitts. In 1884, she became the second Mrs. Douglass. An article, published after Frederick died, provides the background of their romance: The story of the second marriage was a romantic one. Miss Helen Pitts, whom he married, was a New England woman of middle age, a clerk in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, when Mr. Douglass was appointed to that office. She was a member of a literary society to which he belonged. They were thrown much together, and finally became engaged. Her relatives opposed the union bitterly on account of his color, but finally yielded to force of circumstances. Frederick reportedly said: “My first wife was the color of my mother, my second is the color of my father.” According to contemporary articles, however, his children also opposed the marriage. During the last years of his life, he was known as “The Old Man Eloquent,” and lived with Helen at Cedar Hill, his home in the eastern outskirts of D.C.

    In the Spirit of the Republic Singapore, located at the tip of the Malay peninsula, historically part of the Kingdom of Singapura, a part of both Majapahit and Siamese kingdoms, and previously known as “Temasek” officially became independent as the Republic of Singapore on 9 August 1965. A decade of seismic change across the world, the 1960s was a time of hope, promise and new beginnings. Counterculture and social revolution defined an era of new music, clothing, intoxicants and thinking. Boundaries were tested and pushed. The genesis of the modern day Lion City was one of these momentous occasions of the decade. Republic is our homage to now and then – celebrating freedom, expression and individuality. We present flavours, ingredients and sensations inspired by the influential hallmarks of the 1960s and four cultural epicentres of importance and meaningful change. Enjoy the stories while you imbibe on liquid history. 1965 G A P N O I R S E With origins within Malayan kingdoms through to Peranakan settlement and European colonisation, Singapura had a rich and colourful history before becoming its own Republic in 1965.
