There’s nothing behind it.” --Andy Warhol Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition "Cast a Cold Eye: The Late Work of Andy Warhol.” The extensive exhibition, which occupies all galleries at 555 West 24th Street as well as a new gallery at 522 West 21st Street, draws together many of Warhol’s most iconic paintings from the following series executed during the 70s and 80s: Mao, Ladies & Gentlemen, Hammer & Sickle, Skulls, Guns, Knives, Crosses, Reversals, Retrospectives, Shadows, Rorschach, Camouflage, Oxidation, The Last Supper, Self Portraits and more.

In his later career, Warhol was often vilified by art critics for being little more than a society portraitist and social impresario.

This thesis studies the rise of violence in SLO, its causation, and effects. The vigilance committee of 1858 represents the culmination of the violence that came from sweeping changes in the region, stemming from its earliest conquest by the Spanish. The mounting violence built upon itself as extensive changes took place. These changes include the conquest of California, from the Spanish mission period, Mexican and Alvarado revolutions, Mexican-American War, and the Gold Rush. The history of the county is explored until 1863 to garner an understanding of the borderlands violence therein. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Page CHAPTER INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………... 1 PART I - CAUSATION…………………………………………………… 12 HISTORIOGRAPHY……………………………………………........ 12 BEFORE CONQUEST………………………………………..…….. 21 WAR……………………………………………………………..……. 36 GOLD RUSH……………………………………………………..….. 42 LACK OF LAW…………………………………………………….…. 45 RACIAL DISTRUST………………………………………………..... 50 OUTSIDE INFLUENCE………………………………………………58 LOCAL CRIME………………………………………………………..67 CONCLUSION……………………………………………………….

  • NO RAMBLING ON: the LISTLESS COWBOYS of HORSE Jon Davies
    WARHOL pages_BFI 25/06/2013 10:57 Page 108 If Andy Warhol’s queer cinema of the 1960s allowed for a flourishing of newly articulated sexual and gender possibilities, it also fostered a performative dichotomy: those who command the voice and those who do not. Many of his sound films stage a dynamic of stoicism and loquaciousness that produces a complex and compelling web of power and desire. The artist has summed the binary up succinctly: ‘Talk ers are doing something. Beaut ies are being something’ 1 and, as Viva explained about this tendency in reference to Warhol’s 1968 Lonesome Cowboys : ‘Men seem to have trouble doing these nonscript things. It’s a natural 5_ 10 2 for women and fags – they ramble on. But straight men can’t.’ The brilliant writer and progenitor of the Theatre of the Ridiculous Ronald Tavel’s first two films as scenarist for Warhol are paradigmatic in this regard: Screen Test #1 and Screen Test #2 (both 1965). In Screen Test #1 , the performer, Warhol’s then lover Philip Fagan, is completely closed off to Tavel’s attempts at spurring him to act out and to reveal himself. 3 According to Tavel, he was so up-tight. He just crawled into himself, and the more I asked him, the more up-tight he became and less was recorded on film, and, so, I got more personal about touchy things, which became the principle for me for the next six months. 4 When Tavel turned his self-described ‘sadism’ on a true cinematic superstar, however, in Screen Test #2 , the results were extraordinary.

  • University of California Santa Cruz the Renegade Heroes
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA CRUZ THE RENEGADE HEROES: A DISCUSSION OF 19TH CENTURY POPULAR WESTERN FICTION A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in LITERATURE by Trevor M. Schack June 2012 The Thesis of Trevor M. Schack is approved by: ____________________________________ Professor Kirsten Gruesz, Chair ____________________________________ Professor Susan Gillman ____________________________________ Professor H. Marshall Leicester, Jr. ________________________________ Tyrus Miller Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Studies Table of Contents: Introduction: 1 Chapter 1, The Birth of the Renegade: 6 Chapter 2, The Renegade Rides Again: 27 Chapter 3, The Last of the Renegades: 46 iii Abstract The Renegade Heroes: A Discussion of 19th Century Popular Western Fiction By Trevor Schack The purpose of this paper is to highlight the discursive connection of three of these novels. John Rollin Ridge’s Joaquin Murieta: The Celebrated California Bandit (1854), Edward Wheeler’s Deadwood Dick, The Prince of the Road; or, The Black Rider of the Black Hills (1877) and W.B. Lawson’s Dashing Diamond Dick; or, The Tigers of Tombstone (1898) develop a genre that portrays a type of character I call the “Renegade Hero.” The first chapter of this study examines Ridge’s Joaquin Murieta as a text that creates a set of thematic elements that will become integral to the construction of both Deadwood Dick and Diamond Dick. These discursive features include the renegade hero’s “naming” of himself, and female characters whose gender is obscured because they dress in drag. I also argue that Ridge’s authorship of Joaquin Murieta affects the novel in such a way that it can become a precursor text to Deadwood Dick and Diamond Dick because of the way that Ridge separates his text from the sensationalist novels that precede it.

  • MIDIVAL PUNDITZ Hello Hello
    MIDIVAL PUNDITZ Hello Hello This past decade has been marked by the rise of the Indian electronica scene and no single band has had more influence on its growth than the Midival Punditz. Comprised of New Delhi based producers Gaurav Raina and Tapan Raj, the Punditz have been repeatedly heralded as pioneers of a scene that has ushered in some of the freshest global music out of India. On their third studio album Hello Hello, the duo has successfully documented their own personal journey as artists and brought their sound into the present. As India’s influence on the world through music, film and fashion hits a new peak as evidenced by the worldwide popularity of the film Slumdog Millionaire, the Punditz have kept their hands on the wheel and helped steer this ship into a new century of sound and culture. Hello Hello encompasses all the varied worlds in which this producer/DJ team exists – tying them together through a sound that brings International Electronica, Global Pop, Folk, and Indian Classical with modern day song writing. The result is a sound that is uniquely Midival Punditz. For this album, the duo get support from longtime friend and collaborator Karsh Kale, working as co-producer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. The album’s opener, “Electric Universe,” follows in the old tradition of “tonight’s-the-night” style dance hits. The majestic bansuri flute sets up the vocoder lyrics – “this is the night/to turn on the lights/to the universe” – over a sturdy, western dance groove. But at the end of the record, an acoustic version of the same song, with “real” vocals and acoustic guitar by Karsh Kale, turns it into a nocturne – as if to prove that despite all the bells and whistles, in the end it’s all about the song.
