wodicz cover 09/13/01 2:53 PM Page 1 Krzysztof Wodiczko, one of the most original avant-garde Critical Vehicles Writings, Projects, Interviews Wodiczko artists of our time, is perhaps best known for the politically Krzysztof Wodiczko charged images he has projected onto buildings and monu- Krzysztof Wodiczko ments from New York to Warsaw—images of rockets projected onto triumphal arches, the image of handcuffed wrists pro- jected onto a courthouse facade, images of homeless people in bandages and wheelchairs projected onto statues in a park from which they have been evicted. In projects such as the Homeless Vehicle, which he designed through discussions with homeless people, Wodiczko has helped to make public space a place where marginalized people can speak, establish their presence, and assert their rights. Critical Vehicles is the first book in English to collect Wodiczko’s own writings on his projects. Wodiczko has stated that his principal artistic concern is the displacement of tradi- tional notions of community and identity in the face of rapidly expanding technologies and cultural miscommunication. In Critical Vehicles these writings he addresses such issues as urbanism, homeless- ness, immigration, alienation, and the plight of refugees. Fusing wit and sophisticated political insight, he offers the artistic means to help heal the damages of uprootedness and other contemporary troubles. In 1998, Krzysztof Wodiczko was awarded the Hiroshima Prize for his contribution as an artist to world peace. “Krzysztof Wodiczko’s public artworks bring the city to life. Statues, monuments, and buildings speak, questioning power and even declaring rights. The writings in Critical Vehicles place this poetic, disquieting art within the most urgent polit- ical project of our time: the struggle to extend democracy by interrupting certitudes about the meaning of social life. A stunning book.” Rosalyn Deutsche, author of Evictions: Art and Spatial Politics “Critical Vehicles documents a great practice of urban ques- tioning. It is a book for our times.” John Rajchman, Collège International de Philosophie “Krzysztof Wodiczko provides a powerful, and at times enter- taining, picture of the artist as a protagonist in the democratic process. Critical Vehicles is a much-needed compilation of the artist’s writings and interviews that accompany his politically charged public projects.” Tom Eccles, Director, Public Art Fund Jacket illustrations by Ryszard Baranowski (front) and Fundació Antoni Tàpies, Barcelona (back).

I wish to extend my gratitude to Roger Conover, editor at the MIT Press, whose encouragement, intellectual companionship, and moral support have allowed me to navigate safely through this foreign textual passage. Matthew Abbate of the MIT Press has gently and thoughtfully edited all the texts in this bookand has done so with sensitivity and respect for their critical intentions, foreign intonations, and artistic determination. Jean Wilcox, with her tact, wit, and elegance, has transformed this book into a carefully conceived graphic design vehicle well equipped to carry my ideas and projects. The editorial assistance of Brian Wallis contributed substantially to the choice, clarification, and final arrangement of texts in this bookwhile protec- tecting most of them from my excessive revisions. I would like to thank Sherry Buckberrough for her generosity in attending to my textual displacement. She has critically reviewed many texts and essays in this bookand has offered numerous and pointed suggestions that greatly added to its intellectual clarity. Warren Niesłuchowski, who is my fellow nomad, has significantly contrib- uted to this project with his editorial expertise, philosophizing imagination, as well as excellent translation and retranslation of Polish and French transcripts and texts. Special acknowledgment must be extended to Marie-Anne Siche` re, who ed- ited the first collection of my writings titled Art public, art critique: Textes, pro- pos et documents, published in French by the E´ cole Nationale Supe´ rieure des Beaux-Arts in 1995. The integrity and esprit of that bookhave paved the way for this publication. The Department of Architecture and the Center for Advanced Visual Studies of MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning have provided me with generous research facilities and resources. Such support has enabled me not only to com- bine teaching with art, but also to establish the Interrogative Design Group, where with the help of my research assistant Adam Whiton and of Sung Ho Kim, Warren Sack, Joshua Smith, Michael Rakowitz, and others, I have devel- oped the most recent projects presented in this book. I wish to extend my gratitude to Ian de Gruchy, Rosalyn Deutsche, Bruce Ferguson, David Lurie, Yves Michaud, William J. Mitchell, Andrzej Turowski, and above all Leslie Sharpe for their committed support, intellectual presence, artis- tic advice, and collaboration on various projects presented in this book. ix I wish to thankJagoda Przybylakfor her critical and imaginative input, and for her participation and assistance in the development and realization of immi- grant instruments.

    Discovering the Contemporary

    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology

    MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology

    MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology The MIT Visual Arts Program (VAP) and the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) merged in July 2009 to form the MIT Program in Art, Culture and Technology (ACT). This spring, ACT proudly celebrated its inauguration at its new home in the Media Lab complex (E14) and the Wiesner Building (E15). This new program draws on the impressive legacies of VAP (founded 20 years ago) and CAVS (founded in 1967). Focusing on the intersections of art, culture, and technology through performance, sound, video/film, photography, interrogative and eco-design, as well as experimental media and new genres, ACT’s academic and research initiatives reflect the mission of the new program, which is to operate as a laboratory based on critical studies and production, connecting artists and cultural producers with those working at the forefront of technology. ACT’s faculty, fellows, and students take an experimental and systematic approach to creative production and transdisciplinary collaboration, with the goal of furthering and disseminating advanced visual studies and research at the intersection of art, culture, and technology. The program emphasizes art that engages public spheres, the production of space, networked cultures, and participatory media while addressing such issues as the environment, gender, and social stratification. In the tradition of the founder of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies, Hungarian-born artist Gyorgy Kepes, a gifted educator and advocate of “art on a civic scale,” ACT envisions artistic leadership as initiating change and providing a critically transformative view of the world with the civic responsibility to enrich cultural discourse.

    An ethnographic study of women who use intravenous drugs, their subculture and interpretation of health: Implications for nursing. Cynthia Kitson Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in Nursing Faculty of Health Sciences School of Nursing University of Ottawa © Cynthia Kitson, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Patrick O’Byrne, for the valued assistance and guiding wisdom which he has provided – from my application to the PhD Nursing program through to completion. His patient approach to developing my understanding and ability to do a critical ethnographic study, develop a critical focus, and express my words succinctly has been unendingly appreciated. Truly you have opened a world of knowledge to me. To my committee, Dr. D. Holmes and Dr. M. Gagnon, an enormous thank you for ensuring the research and paper were on track by providing relevant and important comments while also being so warmly encouraging. I would also like to thank my husband John and our son Dylan for the countless hours of time together that have been missed or rearranged so that I might work on my thesis writing, edits, and revisions. Thank you for your unwavering understanding and support. iii Abstract The following research was completed with an understanding that there is much to know about women who use intravenous drugs (WUID). The extant literature about the lives of people who use intravenous drugs (PWID) is mostly quantitative, highly androcentric, and primarily focused on HIV transmission. What is needed is information about the culture of WUID and the circumstances contributing to their poor health both from drug use and the conditions in which they live.

Curated for the sixth consecutive year by Gianni Jetzer, curator-at-large at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C., the sector will feature a wide range of presentations, from historically significant pieces to the latest contemporary works. Renowned as well as emerging artists will participate, including: Doug Aitken, Carl Andre, John Baldessari, Andrea Bowers, Chris Burden, Julian Charrière and Julius von Bismarck, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Carlos Garaicoa, Subodh Gupta, Jenny Holzer, Donna Huanca, Arthur Jafa, Barbara Kruger, Cildo Meireles, Bruce Nauman, Park Chan-kyong, Marwan Rechmaoui, Mickalene Thomas and Anicka Yi. Art Basel, whose Lead Partner is UBS, takes place at Messe Basel from June 15 to June 18, 2017. Presented across 16,000 square meters of exhibition space, Unlimited has provided galleries – since its introduction in 2000 – with a unique opportunity to showcase monumental sculptures, video projections, wall paintings, photographic series and performance art that transcend the traditional art-fair stand. In ‘Cooking the World’ (2017) Subodh Gupta (b. 1964) recreates a shelter made entirely from aluminum utensils, in which he carries out a cooking and eating performance, commemorating these ritualistic practices. Also incorporating performance, ‘BLISS (REALITY CHECK)’ (2017) by Donna Huanca (b. 1980) is an elaborate installation comprised of a tableaux vivant of props, painterly elements and actors, designed to suspend the viewer between the role of a passive onlooker and an active performer. ‘Underwater Pavilions’ (2017) by Doug Aitken (b.

The Effect of New Media on Contemporaneity of the Works by Krzysztof Wodiczko-- Palarch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology 18(4), 7651-7663. ISSN 1567-214x. Keywords: Contemporary, Medium, Rendering, Situation. Abstract Attentions were paid to media since the second half of the twentieth century and it was with the technological progresses that the number of the media was increased and a vast ground was in addition set for the artists to grant a power of manifestation to their ideas. The present study aims at finding an answer to the question as to how have the new media influenced the contemporaneity of the works by artists, especially Krzysztof Wodiczko? In order to find an answer to this question, the definition and specifications of contemporaneousness should be studied and investigated hence it is proposed that how much have media influenced contemporaneity of the works by various artists. Considering the study, technological progresses and the application of the new media, especially of the digital type, have enabled more interaction between the audience and the artworks to the extent that the former is no longer just an observer; thus, contemporaneity of the artworks is not specific to the time in a historical sense and numerous factors have caused the artworks to become contemporaneous; media are amongst these factors.

    Contemporary Art and Student Learning

    The International Journal of Arts Education Contemporary Art Contemporary Art and Student and Student Learning Learning Michael Day Professor Emeritus The Brigham Young University E-mail:[email protected] Abstract Three broad rationales for art education are reviewed: Creative self-expression; history and culture, and popular visual culture. All are considered praiseworthy as bases for art curriculum, or as components within art programs. Values of contemporary art are viewed as essential for student learning, regardless of selected rationale or combination of rationales. Several contemporary artists are presented and discussed as exemplars for student learning, including artists from several regions of the world. Six typical contributions of contemporary artists are discussed with reference to potential student learning. Key Words: rationales for art education, contemporary art, student learning art curriculum This article is based on a presentation given at the World Creativity Summit Taipei held in June 2008. C InJAE7.1 ○ NTAEC 2009 125 國際藝術教育學刊 Contemporary Art The content of art education in many countries, including the United and Student Learning States, addresses several broad categories. Children and young people in the schools make art through use of traditional art materials and art principles and conventions. They study the history of art from their own culture and from cultures around the world, with attention to significant works and major artists from various periods and styles. Currently much attention is focused on the study of visual culture from the mass media and advertising that students experience in their everyday lives. Any of these three basic approaches or combinations of them can lead to quality art programs, as attested by examples of excellence in art education from around the world.
  • Teaching Gender in Social Work

    Teaching Gender in Social Work

    Teaching Gender in Social Work Teaching Teaching with Gender How can educators (teachers, professors, trainers) address issues of gender, women, gender roles, feminism and gender equality? The ATHENA thematic network brings together specialists in women’s and gender studies, feminist research, women’s rights, gender equality and diversity. In the book series ‘Teaching with Gender’ the partners in this network have collected articles on a wide range of teaching practices in the field of gender. The books in this series address challenges and possibilities of teaching about women and gender in a wide range of educational contexts. The authors discuss the pedagogical, theoretical and political dimensions of learning and teaching on women and gender. The books in this series Teaching with Gender contain teaching material, reflections on feminist pedagogies and practical discussions about the development of gender-sensitive curricula in specific fields. All books address the crucial aspects of education in Europe today: increasing international mobility, the growing importance of interdisciplinarity and the many practices of life-long learning and training that take place outside the traditional programmes of higher education. These books will be indispensable tools for educators who take seriously the challenge of teach- Lesko Vesna Edited by ing with gender. (For titles see inside cover.) Teaching Gender in Social Work The need for a book on teaching gender in social work arises from the fact that social work education often fails to incorporate gender, even though most of the people that use social work services are women, a majority of social workers are women, and women have had throughout history a significant role in the establishment of social work.
