Print & Demand #2 at the The NY Art Book Fair

Print--Demand-2

November 7, 2010: The NY Art Book Fair, MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Ave., Long Island City, NY

The second in an ongoing series of conversations exploring how print culture is being changed by the manifold forms of online publication, and how public spaces are being constituted around those forms. Caleb Waldorf, Triple Canopy’s creative director will moderate a discussion about the role played by design in shaping digital forms of publication: How are certain tropes of print publication—and the reading and viewing experiences they have engendered—being translated for new media (while others are being jettisoned entirely)? How has the shift from graphic design to user design, with its focus on interaction and interface, changed the way publications function? Participants include James Goggin, design director at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and principle of Practise; Jiminie Ha, an independent designer and founder of W/—— project space in Chinatown; and Rob Giampietro, a designer, writer, and principal at Project Projects. The conversation will be open to the audience.

2010 UCIRA STATE OF THE ARTS CONFERENCE AT UCSD

Sean Dockray, Matteo Pasquinelli, Jason E. Smith and I will kick of the conference with a panel called There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing…

Conference Description:

The last two years have witnessed an unprecedented crisis on college campuses around the world, as the social compact that governed higher  education in the United States and Europe for the past half century  has begun to collapse. Universities from London to Sussex, from Athens  to Vienna, and from Berkeley to Santa Cruz, have experienced protests, occupations, walkouts and other actions directed against the  encroaching privatization of public education. This crisis has been  particularly acute at the University of California, the flagship  public university system in the United States.  Dramatic funding  cutbacks, layoffs, furloughs, and fee hikes have been combined with an upsurge in the sort of racist and sexist attacks that often accompany  periods of economic turmoil, as the perception of dwindling resources  leads to the predictable search for scapegoats.

This complex mix of  economic, cultural and social forces places particular pressure on the  status of the arts within research universities, and the very notion  of the university itself as a haven for liberal arts education. New  tensions have opened up, between the arts and humanities and  engineering and science, and between public and private funding  sources and priorities, even as new solidarities have emerged, among  and between staff and faculty, graduates and undergraduates,  disciplines and departments. This conference seeks to address the following questions:

  • How can the arts respond to this crisis?
  • What new alliances can we form both within the university campus and the communities beyond its walls?
  • What alternative economies exist for the support of artistic research?
  • What new pedagogical models and new forms of knowledge production can the arts offer as our educational  mission is both threatened and, potentially, transformed?
  • And what  forms of creative practice have been mobilized by the protests,  walkouts and occupations?
  • As the campus itself becomes a field of  symbolic resistance and contestation, from swastikas at UC Davis to  Klan hoods at UC San Diego, what are the limits and the political  implications of freedom of expression?

Schedule

The Public School Berlin

We are excited to announce the opening of THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BERLIN. On 18 September at 19:00 we will hold an event at Program called The Future of THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BERLIN.

Earlier this summer THE PUBLIC SCHOOL organized a 13-day seminar in Berlin, There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing… The seminar, meeting each day at a different location in Berlin, took the form of an open reading group, where the texts discussed each day resonated with the site selected. Please visit the project web site for more information on our activities and discussion topics: http://thepublicschool.org/thereisnothinglesspassive/thantheactoffleeing.html

*****

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL is a school with no curriculum. At the moment, it operates as follows: first, classes are proposed by the public (I want to learn this or I want to teach this); then, people have the opportunity to sign up for the classes (I also want to learn that); finally, when enough people have expressed interest, the school finds a facilitator and offers the class to those who signed up.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL is not accredited, it does not give out degrees, and it has no affiliation with the public school system. It is a framework that supports autodidactic activities, operating under the assumption that everything is in everything.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL was started in 2007 in Los Angeles by Telic Arts Exchange.

*****

There will be several things that take place at The Future of THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BERLIN:

1. A committee member of the THE PUBLIC SCHOOL LOS ANGELES will briefly discuss its history and how it operates.

2. We will have a discussion about how the school could work here and what shape(s) it could take.

3. We will create class proposals.

4. We will talk some more!

Please join us to find out more about the school and find ways that you can participate, including joining the committee (D.A.N.) to help run the school here.

If you have questions please get in touch. Also, please sign up for an account here and afterwards try proposing some classes. To see the activities happening at the other schools, please visit here.

Look forward to seeing you all this weekend!

TPS Berlin Mailing List

By: caleb

Posts, The Public School

We have setup a mailing list for “There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing.” Click here to signup.

This is a discussion list for The Public School project, “There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing.”

** What this list is for **

1. We will post any last minute details for or changes to meeting places here.

2. It will be the place for any follow-up discussion and some kind of daily summary.

3. A place where anyone else anywhere (including people at various Public Schools who are reading along or running parallel sessions) to participate as much as you want to – send responses, questions, provocations, photos, demands, etc.

Although it is entirely possible that this list will be a wasteland, with one message every day explaining exactly where to go and at what time, it is equally likely that the list will be hyper-active, bombarding your email inbox for the next several weeks. That will be part of the fun. When the project is over this list will be closed.

To send a message to everyone on the list, you can reply directly to this message or just send an email to fleeing@thepublicschool.org. If someone wants to be added to this discussion list, then just send us their address.

** What’s next **

-We are meeting this Sunday, 4 July at INSEL DER JUGEND IN TREPTOWER PARK. We will meet at 17:00 at the bridge and cross it together over to the island. Here is a link on the google map for the events: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=111162172991000092690.0004882558b261f0fd61d&ll=52.503266,13.40435&spn=0.134796,0.301437&z=12&iwloc=000489d578c05f9d5c020

or here: http://www.mediafire.com/?gnzwvgmu2ig

We will let you know when the readers arrive and where they can be picked up.

-Finally, in case you haven’t gone to the project web page recently, we’ve updated the locations and the google map: http://thepublicschool.org/thereisnothinglesspassive/thantheactoffleeing.html

Look forward to seeing and/or hearing from you!
