University of California - Santa Cruz, 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz CA 95064
UCSC's Arts Division and Porter College are proud to present an interdisciplinary symposium investigating collaboration as a key concept in contemporary art and creative production. Join more than twenty scholars, artists, filmmakers, game designers and theorists as they come together to discuss the meanings and cultural aspirations associated with collaboration, including non-hierarchical production, shared authorship, cross-disciplinary and trans-cultural approaches to research. By exploring the complexities of collaboration, this symposium challenges overdependence on intellectual individuality in favor of the non-territorial, collective, dialogic, participatory and relational.

The Bronowski Art & Science Forum presents Ernest Silva.
Ernest Silva’s paintings and sculptures (www.ernestsilva.org) are psychological landscapes bridging tranquil American subject matter and the disquieting, to reveal aspects of human nature. Silva uses images to trigger speculation, based on personal experience, though not autobiographical. The common denominators are the handmade, the emotive, and the sense that they may have been imagined, or recalled from memory. They can be read literally but easily move to metaphor.

Transborder California Digital Mapping Project
Workshop May 27 2009, 10:30am - 6pm
Atkinson Hall, Rm 4004 / Cal(it)2, UC San Diego, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, California 92093
This collaborative initiative gathers researchers in the humanities, arts, social sciences, and computer engineering to share diverse research of the Transborder California region. New technologies in digital communication will be harnessed to create a shared platform to share divergent data, perspectives, epistemologies, and agendas with the purpose of generating a dynamic layered mapping of the region across time and space.
The scope of Transborder California is the historical and geographic region that encompasses the bordered region that in 1848 divided Alta California and Baja California between the nation-states of the United States and Mexico. The project acknowledges the contours of administrative geography and political rule but is not driven by the political calculus of the administrative geography of the Spanish Empire, Mexico, or the United States or subsidiary regional governments of San Diego County, Imperial County and Baja Norte. However, the research inquiry attends to the intensifying traffic, circulation, and barriers over the 160 years.
VALS Presents: Monica Majoli - April 16 '09 - VAF 7PM

Visiting Artist Lecture Series Presents:
Monica Majoli
Thursday, April 16th, 2009 | 7PM
UC San Diego, Visual Arts Performance Space, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, California 92093
The Visiting Artist Lecture Series is proud to present an exciting guest artist, Monica Majoli.
Monica Majoli's figurative paintings from the early 1990s to the present have depicted scenes of sexual fetishism— painstakingly actuated self-portraits with dildos or claustrophobically populated representations of S&M encounters between men. But she focuses less on the transcription of physical experience than on the suggestion of its most obdurate, if ineffable, psychological aspects and ramifications. Investigating themes and rituals of identity, intimacy, and mortality, Majoli's work is both a site for catharsis and an admission of its irresolution. A painting such as Untitled (1990), a small panel showing a slice of a woman's scarred pelvis, paradoxically implies intractable psychic distance that is unmitigated by corporeal proximity.
