At the UGA School of Social Work, we believe social justice occurs when systems of all sizes (individuals, families, communities) are able, safely and dependably, to obtain the civil and human rights and resources they need to thrive. These include but are not limited to health, economic growth, social rights, equity, inclusion, safety, freedom to move about the world; social support, food security, a clean environment, education, employment, childcare and housing. Eliminating social injustice is central to our work as social workers, requires brave and assertive action and effort, and must be present in all we do and say. The School of Social Work advocates for social justice by fighting for the rights of people and communities, partic- ularly those who have experienced marginalization, stigma, discrimination, and oppression of any form. We partner with communities in Georgia and around the world to embrace and speak truth to power and privilege and to promote change for social justice in our classrooms, our research, and our service.

    Broken Tools and Misfit Toys: Adventures in Applied Media Theory Marcel O’Gorman University of Waterloo AbstrAct The majority of media theorists who have applied their work in new technolog - ical contexts have eschewed formal experimentation to produce a print-oriented mode of dis - course. Even in the digital humanities, scholars build and use tools that ultimately lead to the creation of traditional academic essays and monographs. Applied Media Theory (AMT) is a method that engages in formal experimentation with media to generate critical discourses and technologies. This article identifies a new applied critical practice that not only examines, but also intervenes, in the formation of digital culture, primarily by combining digital art practices with conventional research methods. AMT is outlined here through a description of projects underway in the Critical Media Lab at the University of Waterloo. KeywOrds Digital Art; Media Theory; Digital Humanities; Practice-based Research résuMé La plupart des théoriciens des médias qui situent leurs travaux dans de nouveaux contextes technologiques préfèrent un discours orienté vers l’imprimé plutôt que des expérimentations sur la forme. Même dans l’étude des médias interactifs, les chercheurs développent et emploient des outils qui mènent ultimement à la création de monographies et d’articles traditionnels. La théorie médiatique appliquée est une approche où l’on effectue des expériences formelles avec les médias afin de générer des technologies et des discours critiques. Cet article identifie à ce titre une nouvelle pratique critique appliquée qui examine non seulement la formation de la culture numérique mais intervient aussi dans cette formation, principalement en combinant les pratiques d’art numérique et les méthodes de recherche conventionnelles.

This exhibition at DNA is re– introducing the art of Mike Steiner, who brought video art from New York into the Berlin´s experimental scene in the 70’s. The great contribution of Steiner, who died in 2012, can be recognized by his ground-breaking way of crossing borders between media, such as video, performance as well as sculpture and painting. The exhibition is composed not only of his work, documenting the art of performance practice but also, his significant work as a video artist and painter. Live to Tape, The collection of Mike Steiner in Hamburger Bahnhof About the artist Born in 1941 in Allenstein (East Prussia), Mike Steiner was one of the first artists to discovering the new medium of experimental video art. When filming, he focused either on documenting certain events or performances made by other artists. His technique was unique as he managed to capture moments in a specific way through the framing and composition within his shots. Hotel Steiner (1970), which the art critic Heinz Ohff compared with Chelsea Hotel in New York, was used as a melting pot where both local and international artists could come together, a space for artistic creation that never existed before in Berlin.

Thesis, Georgia State University, 2006. https://scholarworks.gsu.edu/wsi_theses/5 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Institute for Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. It has been accepted for inclusion in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Theses by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. A MANIFEST CYBORG: LAURIE ANDERSON AND TECHNOLOGY by Julie Goolsby Under the Direction of Mary Hocks ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to demonstrate that although Laurie Anderson’s performance works are technologically driven and often involve gender play, seemingly transgressing the gender binary, ultimately she reinscribes traditional gender norms. On the one hand, Anderson has been a pioneer in the use of electronic technology, which is significant considering she is a woman and electronics is a male-dominated arena; on the other hand, her ambiguously- gendered cyborg persona, which does often raise awareness about gender stereotypes, ultimately reinscribes traditional gender norms. Although I consider these issues as they pertain specifically to Anderson, the significance of this project lies in the broader picture. Are there limits to gender performativity? Is it possible to break traditional gender norms? Must gender norms constantly reinscribe themselves regardless of new technology? As gender norms are deeply rooted in society, they are difficult to escape, as Anderson’s work demonstrates.

  • Introduction Marsha Mcmann Paludan
    FÀII, 1090 181 Introduction Marsha McMann Paludan As guest-editor of the JDTC supplementary issue on performance art, I see myself as editor John Gronbeck-Tedesco's third hand. The ground I've traveled in the last fifteen years as an active participant in renegade perfor­ mance forms gives me a first hand view. Though my own orientation is weighted in practice, in this collection of articles and performance texts/descriptions/commentaries, an effort has been made to balance theoretical, critical and practical concerns, and male and female voices. Defined as the "theatricalization of just about anything at all," the catch­ all genre of performance art has a provocative history. Veteran performance artist Michael Meyers points to Alfred Jarry as the father of it all. Others claim the performance tradition dates from rebellious European visual artists and poets of the early 1900s and trace the lineage through its more recent manifestations in the Happenings and live art of the 1960s. On April 18,1990, Laurie Anderson addressed the Contemporary Music Symposium at the University of Kansas following her performance of Strange Angels the previous evening. Billed as the "premier performance artist** (a phrase that sounds to her like a bad translation of German), Anderson spoke to an SRO crowd which had been re-routed from a 400 seat recital hall to a 2,000 seat theatre better equipped to accommodate the unexpected number of admiring fans.1 Symbol of the current flirtation of performance art with mass culture popularity, Anderson began her informally delivered remarks by acknowledging her roots. The style of her work, she said, did not pop full blown from her own head.

  • Marina Abramovic by Laurie Anderson
    BOMB Magazine August, 2003 Marina Abramovic by Laurie Anderson Marina Abramovic, Victory, 1997, framed color photograph mounted on aluminium, 50 1⁄2 x 50 1⁄2". Courtesy of the artist and Sean Kelly Gallery. In the middle of March Marina Abramovic and I sat around in my studio and talked—or riffed, since it was more like making music than talking. We went jumping from subject to subject: the future of objects, falling apart, teachers, picking up threads, audiences, nonattachment. Marina's voice is breathless. She purrs, rolls a lot of syllables, leaves out articles. Laughs a lot. Talking with her is as intimate as being in a steam room. I first met Marina in 1977 when she and Ulay, her then partner in art and life, had wedged themselves into a doorway at the entrance to the Galleria Comunale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Bologna during its performance festival. If you wanted to enter the exhibition you had to squeeze between them, pressing against their nude bodies. Each visitor had to choose whether to face him or her. I loved it! To me it was by far the most challenging performance in the exhibition. I hung around the entrance, and after the police put a stop to their piece I got the chance to meet them. Since then I have seen many of Marina's performances. In the late '70s I ran into Marina and Ulay here and there in Europe on the art circuit. I remember trotting around after them while they drove their car in endless circles in front of a museum in Paris in a 16-hour performance titled Relation in Movement.

    7/28/2020 Douglas Crimp (1944–2019) - Artforum International NEWS Douglas Crimp. Photo: Dorothea Tuch. July 05, 2019 at 2:40pm DOUGLAS CRIMP (1944–2019) Douglas Crimp—the art historian, critic, and curator who generated some of the most enduring, foundational texts on postmodern art, queer theory, and institutional critique, and whose later writings on dance galvanized the field and synthesized histories of ballet, modern dance, and postmodern performance—died of multiple myeloma early Friday morning in Manhattan. He was seventy-four years old. Crimp’s earliest attention arrived from his 1977 exhibition “Pictures,” a tiny yet epochal show at Artists Space. The show and, perhaps more significantly, the revised version of the catalogue essay that he published in the spring 1979 issue of October, snapped into focus the attitude of a generation of artists who had grown up with, and who sought critical distance from, a new era of mass-media American image culture: Cindy Sherman, Sherrie Levine, Philip Smith, Troy Brauntuch, Jack Goldstein, Robert Longo, Laurie Anderson, https://www.artforum.com/news/douglas-crimp-1944-2019-80228 1/17 7/28/2020 Douglas Crimp (1944–2019) - Artforum International and Louise Lawler among them. In 2009, the Metropolitan Museum of Art used the show as a touchstone for its expanded exhibition “The Pictures Generation, 1974–1984.” His 2016 book Before Pictures, a heady mix of memoir and theory in the 1960s and ’70s, captures some of the lived moments leading up to the show. Born August 19, 1944 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Crimp studied art history at Tulane University in New Orleans before moving to New York, where he briefly took a job as a curatorial assistant at the Solomon R.
