Summer 7th Encuentro
Staging Citizenship: Cultural Rights in the Americas
August 21-30, 2009
Micha Cárdenas Presents August 24-26th
National University of Colombia in Bogotá, Carrera 45 No 26-85 - Edificio Uriel Gutiérrez Bogotá DC, Colombia
7th Encuentro invites interested participants to investigate "cultural rights" and their complex relationship to citizenship in both historical and contemporary contexts. We understand cultural rights as a juridical figure, a technology of power and an articulation that brings together multiple political demands, social subjects and modalities of citizenship. They allow us to explore the relationship between performance and politics through diverse expressive forms, analytic categories, disciplines, traditions and movements. Cultural rights necessarily invoke the State, made visible by the same citizens and institutions that it produces, and also highlight the instrumentalization of ritual, identity, protest and art. They also invite us to examine the right to identity and interculturality; the use and promotion of native languages, languages of choice and their hybrids; artistic training and access to its expressions; and the recognition, transmission and transformation of collective memory, among others. Cultural rights also bring attention to the enormous distance between juridical discourse and everyday experience and between written theory and embodied practice, and extol us to examine these tensions, antagonisms and social inequalities and the performative practice mobilized by artists, social actors and states to intervene them.

Amy Adler: Superficiality and Superexcrescence - Ben Maltz Gallery - Exhibition through Sept 12 '09
Submitted by yolietorres on Fri, 07/10/2009 - 2:22pm. Faculty Show
Superficiality and Superexcrescence
Exhibition runs June 27 through Sept 12, 2009
Ben Maltz Gallery, 9045 Lincoln Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90045
Superficiality and Superexcrescence features work by Amy Adler, Rebecca Campbell, Marcelino Gonçalves, Lia Halloran, Salomón Huerta, Elliott Hundley, Kurt Kauper, Elad Lassry, Blue McRight, Joel Morrison, Kori Newkirk, Tia Pulitzer, and Catherine Sullivan. Conceived in opposition to the hard and fast interior/exterior dialectic that cultural theorists like Frederic Jameson have used to contrast the modern and postmodern eras, this exhibition offers a close examination of the work of thirteen LA-based artists who are variously committed to the notion that deep cultural meaning inhabits—as code, nuance, and implication—the outer husk of the people and objects that populate our day-to-day lives, remaking superficiality not as a condition to be resisted, but rather one to be analyzed and manipulated. For these artists, surface and substance are not opposed properties, but equally present. Accordingly, each of these artists focuses on what is latent over what is manifest, on implication over demonstration, and on faint whispers over loud, declarative statements, not with the aim of privileging appearance over essence, but rather to suggest that appearance and essence co-mingle in the surfaces that surround us to generate cultural meaning.

Sheldon Brown: The Art and Technology of Better Virtual Worlds
June 25, 2009, 5-6 pm
Seminar Rooms, Ben Pimlott Building, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, London
Brown will describe his work to make better virtual worlds --- addressing both their computational challenges as well as their expressive affordances. This comes out of work that Brown has been doing for over a decade in creating art installations that utilize virtual reality notions and technologies to pursue conceptually complex interests with a deliberate aesthetic. As the use of virtual worlds and muti-user online gaming environments has moved historically from experiment to speculation to novel experience, technological progress has allowed the field to move from the narrowly experienced to the broadly based, creating a primed culture for meaningful virtual worlds. Their creation requires more expressive and more complex approaches then are currently employed. Solutions to this will come from more imaginative applications of emerging technologies and more imaginative approaches to virtual world semantics. Brown will present his approaches to both of these areas as addressed in the development of his Scalable City project.
