  • Full Results of Survey of Songs
    Existential Songs Full results Supplementary material for Mick Cooper’s Existential psychotherapy and counselling: Contributions to a pluralistic practice (Sage, 2015), Appendix. One of the great strengths of existential philosophy is that it stretches far beyond psychotherapy and counselling; into art, literature and many other forms of popular culture. This means that there are many – including films, novels and songs that convey the key messages of existentialism. These may be useful for trainees of existential therapy, and also as recommendations for clients to deepen an understanding of this way of seeing the world. In order to identify the most helpful resources, an online survey was conducted in the summer of 2014 to identify the key existential films, books and novels. Invites were sent out via email to existential training institutes and societies, and through social media. Participants were invited to nominate up to three of each art media that ‘most strongly communicate the core messages of existentialism’. In total, 119 people took part in the survey (i.e., gave one or more response). Approximately half were female (n = 57) and half were male (n = 56), with one of other gender. The average age was 47 years old (range 26–89). The participants were primarily distributed across the UK (n = 37), continental Europe (n = 34), North America (n = 24), Australia (n = 15) and Asia (n = 6). Around 90% of the respondents were either qualified therapists (n = 78) or in training (n = 26). Of these, around two-thirds (n = 69) considered themselves existential therapists, and one third (n = 32) did not. There were 235 nominations for the key existential song, with enormous variation across the different respondents.

  • Bailly 1 Invisible Culture Issue 11, Fall 2007 Artist-Curators and Art Historian-Curators at the Edge
    Bailly 1 Artist-Curators and Art Historian-Curators at the Edge: How the “Modern West” Revealed Boundaries of Curatorial Practice Austen Barron Bailly This paper takes as it starting point two related projects: The Modern West: American Landscapes, 1890-1950 (October 2006-June 2007) and “Two Edges” (April 12, 2007). The Modern West was a major exhibition curated for Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) by Emily Ballew Neff, Curator, American Painting and Sculpture, and it traveled to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).1 “Two Edges” was a virtual exhibition (never mounted) curated by artist Diana Thater for her participation, with LACMA Director Michael Govan, in the museum’s “Conversations with the Director” series, part of the suite of free public programming associated with the presentation of The Modern West at LACMA. Thater’s alternative “modern west” exhibition, created using “Virtual Gallerie” software and PowerPoint and presented digitally in a verbal “walk through,” was fully realized conceptually and functioned as a critique of Neff’s The Modern West, which she believed perpetuated and celebrated the mythology of the American West. Austen Barron Bailly, author of this paper, coordinated and installed The Modern West in Los Angeles and attended Thater’s presentation. As coordinating curator, I was responsible not only for deciding how to install the exhibition for LACMA but also for working with the museum’s Education Department to help develop all public programming for the exhibition—with one notable exception: Thater and Govan’s presentation. I was not involved, nor was I expected to be, in preparations for the I would like to thank Rita Gonzalez, Assistant Curator, LACMA, for encouraging me to write this paper.

  • KATE TYNDALL London & UK Where Strangers Meet 1
    MAKING JEREMY DELLER’S WE’RE HERE BECAUSE WE’RE HERE KATE TYNDALL London & UK Where Strangers Meet 1 Making Jeremy Deller’s We’re here because we’re here Text by Kate Tyndall On 1st July 2016, early in the morning, over 1,400 volunteers dressed in First World War uniforms began to appear on the streets, slip roads and landscapes of mainland and island Britain. Each represented a soldier who had died on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, exactly 100 years before, and wore an individual authentic uniform. In towns and cities, on mountain ranges and island ferry crossings, railway concourses and roundabouts, in underpasses and shopping centres they marched in silence, gathered, waited and moved on, breaking only to sing elliptical bursts of We’re Here Because We’re Here – which was sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne in the First World War trenches. Following close to 80 routes in more than 50 locations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, unannounced and unexplained, they handed out cards in silence to members of the public stating the name, rank and regiment of the soldier they represented and, where known, his age on the day he died. Two million people witnessed the soldiers. Some were indifferent, others watched from a distance. But from the earliest moments, more than anyone had anticipated, people drew forward, looked on quietly, asked what they were doing, took a card, and found themselves experiencing a powerful response. Moved by the physical presence of these men, and realising what it was they were being asked to consider, people were tearful, silent, wanting to know more, grateful, stirred up, reflective.

Nor is it news that screens have not always been so pervasive. Some readers will remember a time when screens did not accompany our every move, while others were literally greeted with the flash of a digital cam- era at the moment they were born. Before Projection: Video Sculpture 1974–1995 showcases a generation of artists who engaged with monitors as sculptural objects before they were replaced by video projectors in the gallery and long before we carried them in our pockets. Curator Henriette Huldisch has brought together works by Dara Birnbaum, Ernst Caramelle, Takahiko Iimura, Shigeko Kubota, Mary Lucier, Muntadas, Tony Oursler, Nam June Paik, Friederike Pezold, Adrian Piper, Diana Thater, and Maria Vedder to consider the ways in which artists have used the monitor conceptually and aesthetically. Despite their innovative experimentation and per- sistent relevance, many of the sculptures in this exhibition have not been seen for some time—take, for example, Shigeko Kubota’s River (1979–81), which was part of the 1983 Whitney Biennial but has been in storage for decades.

  • Under Embargo Until 7Pm, 1 July 2016 the National Theatre Takes
    Under embargo until 7pm, 1 July 2016 The National Theatre takes part in 14-18 NOW’s UK-wide work by Jeremy Deller to commemorate the centenary of the Somme Hundreds of volunteers led by the National Theatre were part of a UK-wide event that took place today, 1 July 2016, as a modern memorial to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme. Commissioned by 14-18 NOW, the UK’s arts programme for the First World War centenary, the work was conceived and created by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller in collaboration with Rufus Norris, Director of the National Theatre. The specially commissioned event saw around 1,500 voluntary participants dressed in First World War uniform appear unexpectedly in locations across the UK. The National Theatre was one of 27 organisations which collaborated on the work, called ‘we’re here because we’re here’. It was produced by Birmingham Repertory Theatre and the National Theatre, working in close collaboration with partners including: Lyric Theatre Belfast, Manchester Royal Exchange, National Theatre of Scotland, National Theatre Wales, Northern Stage, Playhouse Derry-Londonderry, Salisbury Playhouse, Sheffield Theatres and Theatre Royal Plymouth. The project breaks new ground in terms of its scale, breadth, reach and the number of partners and participants involved. This is the first time three national theatres have worked together on a joint project, and the first time so many theatres have worked together on a UK-wide participation project. The participants who walked the streets today were a reminder of the 19,240 men who were killed on 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme.
