Aaron Hughes speaker thursday
Hello faculty,
Just a reminder, the Aaron Hughes lecture is tomorrow (thursday) at 12:15 in Alfond Auditorium in the MFA.
Please encourage your students to attend. Aaron is a very smart, powerful speaker and a young artist students may be able to relate to. I've talked to some of you who have students who are vets. Aaron requested that we reach out to any students vets as he would like to work with them.
It's free and open to the public, but students do need to grab a free ticket at the Fenway entrance on their way in.
Thank you so much,
Steve
Text and Image Arts welcomes:
Aaron Hughes
Aaron Hughes is an artist, Iraq War veteran, and lead organizer with Iraq Veterans Against The War.
Aaron is available to meet with students and do a workshop during his visit. He asked us to specifically welcome any students who may be veterans or family of veterans. If you are interested, please email steve.lambert@smfa.edu
Aaron Hughes served in the Illinois Army National Guard from 2000 to 2006 and was deployed for fifteen months to "Operation Iraqi Freedom" in 2003/2004 with the 1244th Transportation Company from North Riverside, IL. On his return he began to use art as a tool to confront issues of dehumanization, militarism, and occupation. In 2009 he received an MFA in Art Theory and Practice from Northwestern University. Today Aaron is the curator and chair of the Art Committee at the National Veterans Art Museum and Organizing Team Leader for Iraq Veterans Against the War, where he has worked on such projects as Warrior Writers, Combat Paper, Drawing For Peace, Operation First Casualty, Winter Soldier, the Demilitarized University, and Operation Recovery.

To: bonnie.donohue@smfa.edu
Dear Professor Donohue:
I am hoping you can help me find a student-photographer who might be interested in an internship/work-study opportunity with our non-profit. This is great opportunity for a student who is looking to build his/her portfolio by working with us. We are looking for someone who will provide services to support our marketing efforts and events. The photographer will take pictures of all of College Bound’s programs to be used in the organization’s annual report, website and collateral and will also be available to take day of photos for fundraising and marketing events throughout the year. The photographer will be employed as a contractor and work under the direct supervision of the Director of Development. College Bound Dorchester will provide photo credit on all collateral. This is a great opportunity to showcase work and contribute to College Bound’s mission—to equip Dorchester student with the attitude, skills and experience to graduate from college (www.collegebounddorchester.
I am most grateful for any help or suggestions you can provide.
Best,
Manuela

Conflated two books today
I conflated two books today:
Douglas Crimp, "On The Museum's Ruins" and Brian O'Doherty's, "Inside the White Cube: The Ideology of the the Gallery Space". Eduardo, Brian's book is the one I was thinking about for you. Both are excellent.
Book Description "Inside the White Cube.."
Douglas Crimp, "On The Museum's Ruins" and Brian O'Doherty's, "Inside the White Cube: The Ideology of the the Gallery Space". Eduardo, Brian's book is the one I was thinking about for you. Both are excellent.
Book Description "Inside the White Cube.."
When these essays first appeared in Artforum in 1976, their impact was immediate. They were discussed, annotated, cited, collected, and translated--the three issues of Artforum in which they appeared have become nearly impossible to obtain. Having Brian O'Doherty's provocative essays available again is a signal event for the art world. This edition also includes "The Gallery as Gesture," a critically important piece published ten years after the others.
O'Doherty was the first to explicitly confront a particular crisis in postwar art as he sought to examine the assumptions on which the modern commercial and museum gallery was based. Concerned with the complex and sophisticated relationship between economics, social context, and aesthetics as represented in the contested space of the art gallery, he raises the question of how artists must construe their work in relation to the gallery space and system.
These essays are essential reading for anyone interested in the history and issues of postwar art in Europe and the United States. Teeming with ideas, relentless in their pursuit of contradiction and paradox, they exhibit both the understanding of the artist (Patrick Ireland) and the precision of the scholar.

found artist interview channel
hello everyone! I have found this new website which has a lot of interviews from artists! I have found that i don't know all the artists off the website which interested me a lot in comparisson to other websites which focus on well-known artists. It has some really cool artists, mainly all photography i believe, and they're pretty well done but they are very casual.

Alec Soth also feels frustrated sometimes, and also seems to questions the medium, and also resorts to self-imposed assignments such as this one ~

James and Madeline's Collaboration/Images for last class
Madeline Muhlberg & James Traggianese Hi everyone! I'm sorry that James and I were absent last class, we had some major personal issues to attend to. I wanted to share our images that we created in somewhat of a collaboration!
Helen Van Meene:
The images I found for this project were taken by Hiroshi Watanabe and Helen Van Meene.
Obviously our photos are unsucessful because you can truly not capture the exact way a photograph was taken. For the Van Meene photograph, I used a strobe to create the harsh lighting, where as generally Van Meene waits for hours sometimes for the perfect and natural lighting. The Watanabe photograph was taken with an straight strobe as well, where as we believe that Watanabe uses a ring flash for his photographs.
