  • Redefining Public Art in Toronto — Vision and Recommendations
    Thus in contrast to Toronto, public art in Montreal is a core municipal and provincial service. Dedicated budgets, a compulsory per cent for art program, and ample staff provide resources for the city to integrate public art into the texture and fabric of urban experience and to experiment with both traditional and novel approaches to doing so. Figure 29. BGL, La vélocité des lieux, 2015. Crédit photo/photo credit: Guy L'Heureux, 2015. 88 In 2017, Montreal is celebrating Canada 150 (as is Toronto), the 375th anniversary of the founding of Montreal, and the 50th anniversary of Expo 67. While Canada 150 is generating a good amount of programming in both cities, it is not resulting in many public art projects in Toronto. In Montreal, however, Canada 150 and that city’s 375th anniversary celebrations have generated a good number of public art projects, such as La Balade pour la Paix, among others. There is a conscious effort by the City of Montreal to use the 375th anniversary as a platform for public art to generate international prestige. Key findings This section summarizes some of the main findings of our research. I. Collaboration between stakeholders While BAP and MCC are the two major public art stakeholders in Montreal, they operate alongside and in collaboration with other public institutions. These strong collaborative relationships are a crucial part of Montreal’s successful public art initiatives. Currently, there are two important clusters of collaboration between museums, universities, and the City. • Zone Éducation-Culture is a forthcoming public art hub on Bishop Street, a zone shared by the Quartier du Musée and the Quartier Concordia in the Ville-Marie borough.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 41 SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2017 Welcome to Copper #41! The title isn't to announce a James Taylor retrospective---sorry to crush your hopes--- but is just what I see in today's weather reports. The Pacific Northwest, where I'm bound for a long-delayed vacation, is up in flames, along with many other parts of the tinder-dry US. Meanwhile, back in my former home of Florida...they've already had nearly two feet of rain, and Hurricane Irma is not even close to the state yet. Stay safe, everyone. I'm really pleased and excited to have Jason Victor Serinus back with us, with the first part of an intensive introduction to art song. Jason brings tremendous knowledge of the field, and provides plenty of recorded examples to listen to, and in the case of videos, watch. There are many stunning performances here, and I hope you enjoy this extraordinary resource. We'll have Part 2 in Copper #42. Dan Schwartz is again in the lead-off spot with the second in his series of articles on encounters–this one, with Phil Lesh and crew; Seth Godin tells us how control is overrated; Richard Murison hears a symphony; Duncan Taylor takes us to Take 1; Roy Hall tells about a close encounter of the art kind; Anne E. Johnson introduces indie artist Anohni; and I worry about audio shows (AGAIN, Leebs??), and conclude my look at Bang & Olufsen. Industry News tells of the sale of audiophile favorite, Conrad-Johnson; Gautam Raja is back with an amazing story that I think you'll really enjoy, all about Carnatic music, overlooked heritage, and the universal appeal of rock music; and Jim Smith takes another warped look at LPs.

  • Manifestations of Transphobia in Computer-Mediated Communication… 103
    Studies in Polish Linguistics vol. 14, 2019, issue 3, pp. 101–123 doi:10.4467/23005920SPL.19.016.11081 www.ejournals.eu/SPL https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3481-1421 Jagiellonian University Magdalena Derecka Manifestations of Transphobia in Computer- Mediated Communication. A Case Study of Language Discrimination in English and Polish Internet-Mediated Discourse Abstract This article aims to investigate the linguistic means of transphobic discrimination observed on the Internet. The languages analysed are English and Polish, since they both offer their speakers direct and indirect ways that discrimination manifests itself, yet Polish seems to enable a more noticeable means because of the presence of grammatical gender in the lan- guage. The paper discusses twelve samples of Computer-Mediated Communication, using the methodological tools offered by Critical Discourse Analysis and Queer Theory. Based on the analysis of the samples, the article shows that even though transphobia lies mainly in lexical choices of the speaker, it is not always direct, i.e. visible in insults and attacks on a trans person, but is oftentimes indirect, i.e. visible in the incorrect use of personal pro- nouns in both English and Polish, or in the incorrect use of grammatical gender in Polish. Moreover, while transphobia visible in language is not always intended by the speaker, it can still be considered to be discriminatory. Keywords computer-mediated communication, discriminatory language, grammatical gender, social media, transphobia, transphobic language Streszczenie Artykuł ma na celu zbadanie środków językowych używanych w języku transfobicznym zaobserwowanym w internecie. Analizie poddane zostały języki angielski i polski, po- nieważ obydwa umożliwiają ich użytkownikom bezpośrednie i pośrednie sposoby dys- kryminowania na tle transfobicznym, język polski zdaje się jednak umożliwiać bardziej zauważalny sposób ze względu na obecny w nim rodzaj gramatyczny.

  • ANOHNI Miracle Now Pressemeddelelse
    Miracle Now 24. maj åbner Nikolaj Kunsthal udstillingen Miracle Now af den britisk-amerikanske kunstner og musiker ANOHNI. Værker på papir, malerier og skulpturer bliver ledsaget af en 9-kanals videoinstallation og skrøbelige dokumenter fra ANOHNIs arkiv. ANOHNI opnåede først international anerkendelse med sit band Antony and the Johnsons, som opstod ud af after-hours performance-scenen i 1990ernes New York. ANOHNIs videoinstallation er en udforskning af billede, lyd og tekst baseret på hendes stykke fra 1995 Miracle Now og får sin premiere i Nikolaj Kunsthals Nedre Galleri. I Øvre Galleri fremvises et bredt udvalg af ANOHNIs værker, som viser hendes sans for materialernes taktile egenskaber: collager lavet af fundne objekter og hentet fra forskellige samlinger, fotografier, skulpturelle værker i den store skala og voksmalerier. Hendes animistiske drømmerier udtrykker følelser, en bevidsthed om medskyld og en længsel efter forandring stillet over for det menneskeskabte økologiske selvmord. “Udvikler naturen sig, eller forandrer hun sig bare? Der kan nu lagres så store mængder informationer på så lidt plads. Videnskabsfolk har for nylig sagt, at traumer, som har ramt vores forfædre, ændrer vores genom på påviselige måder. Jeg forestiller mig, at man i fremtiden kan anbringe en vanddråbe i en maskine og få alt at vide om hvert et øjeblik, dens atomer har gennemlevet og alle de levende og ikke-levende organismer, den nogensinde har været en del af. Da mit stykke Miracle Now først blev opført i 1995, var min største drøm, at Naturen ville kunne fastholde en viden om alt, hun nogensinde havde været. Det rummede et fundament af håb for mig, ansigt til ansigt med det økologiske sammenbrud”.

  • Untitled“, Adam Linder‘S „Some Proximity“ and „Auto Ficto Reflexo“, and Liz Kinoshita‘S „Volcano“
    14 July — 14 August 2016 A MEETING OF THE arts at IMPULSTANZ 2016 In 2016, ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival invites greats of and newcomers to the world of contemporary dance as well as over forty visual artists. Golden Lion winner Tino Sehgal and collabo- rators have conceived a series of workshops and research projects. Additionally, outstanding spaces of encounter between choreography and the visual arts are being created in Leopold Museum and mumok as part of the festival’s performance programme. One of the highlights among the many artistic encounters initiated by ImPulsTanz has been specially devised for Vienna: the visual arts x dance project by Tino Sehgal, who may be considered the most important propo- nent of art at the interface of choreography and the visual arts at present. In a five-week series of workshops and research projects (open level and advanced), Sehgal invites artists from both fields to exchange ideas and experiences. A debate between French choreographer Jérôme Bel and art historian and curator Dorothea von Hantelmann on the opening day of the festival (14th July) in Leopold Museum marks the beginning of a series of highly diverse artistic formats, which continues until 14th August both in Leopold Museum and Vienna Arsenal. New York choreographer Maria Hassabi and Brussels-based gallery owner Jan Mot, for example, start off their project, which will extend over several days, with a leisurely stroll through the garden of Belvedere Palace. Exceptional performer Justin F. Kennedy meets Canadian artist Jeremy Shaw, a “researcher of intoxication”: they call their five-day laboratoryWormhole Through Your Brain, during which they will experiment with various states of trance.

  • Stratégie Centre-Ville Mémoire – Université Concordia
    STRATÉGIE CENTRE-VILLE MÉMOIRE – UNIVERSITÉ CONCORDIA NOVEMBRE 2016 CONCORDIA : UN PARTENAIRE ACTIF ET ENGAGÉ DE MONTRÉAL ET DE SON CENTRE-VILLE Concordia joue depuis toujours un rôle-clé dans le développement et le renouveau urbain de Montréal. Nos racines remontent à la fondation du Loyola College en 1896 et de la Sir George Williams University en 1926, qui ont fusionné en 1974 pour devenir l’Université Concordia. Nous avons poursuivi et consolidé cet engagement au cours des dernières années, notamment en participant à la création du Quartier Concordia qui a contribué à la revitalisation des secteurs environnants avec la construction de nouveaux pavillons à la fine pointe de l’innovation, la rénovation de bâtiments existants ou encore l’acquisition et la rénovation d’édifices patrimoniaux, comme par exemple l’ancienne Maison-mère des Sœurs Grises. Un centre-ville, c’est aussi les gens qui l’habitent, y travaillent ou le visitent. Nous nous efforçons donc au quotidien de collaborer au dynamisme et au développement de nos communautés, tant dans l’arrondissement de Ville-Marie où se situe notre campus Sir- George-Williams, que dans Côte-des-Neiges/Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, qui abrite notre campus Loyola. C’est pourquoi nous accueillons très positivement la vision incarnée par la Stratégie centre-ville : Soutenir l’élan (ci-après désignée par le sigle « SCV »), et sommes heureux d’avoir l’occasion à la fois de nous exprimer sur les différentes orientations et chantiers qu’elle contient, et de faire état des collaborations que nous proposons pour soutenir la réalisation de la perspective « Le centre-ville en 2030 ».
