At the Boise State University Student Union, we are committed to enhancing the students• educational experience by providing services, activities, and avenues through which the student can further educational p~rsuits. Students have the opportunity to interact with fellow students, faculty, and staff and do so in an informal atmosphere. Students can also broaden their cultural experiences, pursue recreational interests, and gain a feeling of being a part of the university community.

Photography freezes moments of life on a time-line; it captures and evokes the existence that already belongs to the past. Although different in nature from autobiographical writings, it serves as an important source of knowledge of one’s life; as it does not only proves that ‘one was’, but also gives an insight into ‘how one was’. Portraits of Jean Cocteau (1889–1963), who for over four decades was one of the most frequently photographed members of Paris van- guard, demonstrate an essential aspect of the artist’s identity and authenticity. When posing for photographs, Cocteau always had the same strategy, one which became his authorial signature. This chameleon of Parisian artistic salons attempted various trans- formations treating his own body as a means of expression. He avoided sincerity; in- stead he turned the process of photo shooting into a glamorized spectacle. For example, a photograph titled Jack-of-all-trades , taken by Philippe Halsman in 1948, shows Jean Cocteau stylized as a character taken away from his poetic, imaginary world.

    JEAN COCTEAU Born: Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau, July 5, 1889 (Maisons-Lafitte, Yvelines, Île-de-France, France); died 1963 (Milly-la-Forêt, Essonne, Île-de-France, France). Directing style: Icon of French avant-garde cinema; master of surrealism; created a personal mythology onscreen; reverse-filming techniques; fantastical set design. 1880s Painter, poet, playwright, novelist, set designer, and director, Jean Cocteau perfected the art of the surrealist special effect. He is perhaps most famous for his masterwork, the Orphic trilogy: Le sang d’un poète (1930) (The Blood of a Poet), Orphée (1950) (Orpheus), and Le testament d’Orphée, ou ne me demandez pas pourquoi! (1960) (The Testament of Orpheus). Top Takes… In The Blood of a Poet the viewer is taken on an odyssey into the mind of the artist, replete with talking statues, attempts to Le testament d’Orphée, ou ne me demandez pas pourquoi! 1960 fly, and suicide. In Orpheus, poetic transmissions on a car radio (The Testament of Orpheus) lure Orphée into his deepest desires and the underworld. 8 x 8: A Chess Sonata in 8 Movements 1957 Orphée was played by Cocteau’s long-time homosexual lover, La Villa Santo-Sospir 1952 Orphée 1950 (Orpheus) Jean Marais.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

I THE FILMS OF PETER KUBELKA "I feel a very great need to communicate. I work hundreds and hundreds of hours for one particular minute in my films and I could never produce such a minute by talking. The real statement which I want to make in the world is my films. Everything else is irrelevant." — Peter Kubelka, 1966 To date, six short but exquisitely realized films form the basis of Peter Kubelka's reputation as a master of personal cinema. Personal, for this Austrian filmmaker, involves an exploration of the medium to express his particular sense of reality. Kubelka began working with film in 1952 and MOSAIR IM VERTRAUEN was completed three years later. But it was with ADEBAR (1957), SCHWECHATER (1958) and ARNULF RAINER (1960) that Kubelka seized upon the fascinations that have absorbed him ever since.
