    Sculpture May, 2011 Lee Bul: Phantasmic Morphologies Michael Amy Who we are is determined to a considerable extent by what we are. The what includes our origins in time and place, gender, race, social status, sexual orientation, education, and political and religious convictions. Once we have this information, we believe that we know enough about a person to be able to classify and judge him or her. We have a tendency to embrace stereotypical thinking The South Korean artist Lee Bul moves away from what we know - or what we think we know. Her work examines how the mind functions by exploring some of its dreams, ideals, and utopias. Interviews with Lee over the years have shown her to be a highly sophisticated and articulate thinker, with a wide range of interests in the history of ideas. The cultures of both East and West, and science and technology. Her work argues that everything is in a state of flux, that many of the notions we accept as laws are often the product of bias and can-therefore-be corrected, and that the imagination constitutes an all-conquering power. Surrealism is an important source for Lee's ideas and images. She understands imagination's ties to cognition and knows from firsthand experience how it can free one from physical and ideological bonds, thus becoming of critical importance to survival. Lee was born in 1964 in a remote village In South Korea during the military dictatorship of Park Chung-Hee. Her political dissident parents were almost constantly on the move, which she says, "taught me certain strategies of survival.

  • A FAMILY FRIENDLY GUIDE to Services for Milwaukee County Special Needs Children and Youth and Their Families
    A FAMILY FRIENDLY GUIDE to Services for Milwaukee County Special Needs Children and Youth and Their Families Project Equal Access for Special Needs Services for Youth INTRODUCTION Milwaukee County offers many programs to support families of children and youth who may have special needs. The child or youth must have a significant disability which is a physical, mental, or emotional limitation which seriously restricts the child’s ability to carry out basic living activities such as self-care, learning, communications, mobility and self-direction. Children and youth from ages birth to 22 can receive support services to help them live at home with their family. Families can access certain services from different agencies throughout the County. We hope this guide will make it easy to locate those services from the different places in Milwaukee County. The guide will provide brief information for each of these programs and how your child can be found eligible for these programs. The agencies that you may connect with include Milwaukee County Disability Services, Milwaukee County BHD Children and Young Adult Community Services and Wraparound Milwaukee, Katie Beckett Program, and the Social Security Administration. When you work with these agencies, you will be asked to provide information about your child such as whether your child is on Medicaid, has a diagnosis from a physician, a psychological evaluation or an individualized education plan (IEP) at school. This Guide is designed as a resource to increase awareness and access to services for Milwaukee African American children with a disability and their families. It is part of DRW’s Project EASSY, Equal Access for Special Needs Services for Youth.

That year she received her first camera, a small disposable one to use on the family vacation. At first she randomly clicked the button, not giving much thought to what she was doing. When her father examined her blurred images and aimless shots, he advised Michelle to look through the lens and think about what the resulting picture would look like. The next day Michelle saw a family of ducks, and remembering what her father had said, she lay down on the ground and waited for a duckling to waddle near her. That picture still hangs on her bedroom wall. 2 Now, six years later, Michelle was attempting to capture a sunset for a local photography contest. She groaned as storm clouds rolled in before the sun had a chance to cast its vibrant colors across the sky. 3 “Mom, I don’t think I’m ever going to get this shot!” Michelle complained, putting her camera equipment on the kitchen table and sighing with exasperation.
