Graduate



This is the composite for a display based on The Graduate that I mentioned previously. The printed image was cut up and mounted on several pieces of foamcore. The display is about 11' by 8' by 3.5' in total. It is currently being exhibited adjacent to this show at the Design Exchange in Toronto.

I expect to have photographs of the display in October, when I go to take the show down.

I am expecting a M. Houellebecq novel about a 'sanctuary' resembling this thing by about 2010 or so.

Maverick

My 'boss' (also an employee of the university) told me that it was fine if I wanted to 'skive off' at lunch tomorrow. I tried to find out what this meant on the Internet. Redirected from Dictionary.com to Reference.com, I got this:

The Skiver (Spiral Pegacion)

History - Skiver was a young high-ranking official in the Repli-Air Force who greatly respected Colonel, and later greatly respected his memory. When confronted by X and Zero for use of the Orbiter Wing, he claimed that the Repli-Air Force was doomed to destruction, and he knew the necessity of the Shuttle operation. Still, he battled them and was destroyed before he handed it over. If Skiver has already been infected with the Sigma virus and if the player fights him with Zero, it is learned that Skiver had feelings for Iris.

His name is a takeoff of Guns N' Roses collaborator Michael "High in the Sky" Monroe.

Quotation

"George will not continue the destructive games with Martha; Benjamin will not settle for his parents' values; Yossarian will not accept the horrors around him; Jonathan will not destroy his friendship with Sandy to fight for Susan; Terrell will not passively let his dolphins be used to kill the President; Freddie will not turn Oscar and Nicky over to the police. Characters in "Family" similarly draw the line in various episodes."

For a display based on The Graduate. I doubt it will be flat colours.

Quotation

"Scientific revolutionary humanism cannot, in the name of revolution, treat the oppressed as objects to be analyzed and (based on that anaylsis) presented with prescriptions for behavior. To do this would be to fall into one of the myths of the oppressor ideology: the absolutizing of ignorance. This myth implies the existence of someone who decrees the ignorance of someone else. The one who is doing the decreeing defines himself and the class to which he belongs as those who know or were born to know; he thereby defines others as alien entities. The words of his own class come to be the "true" words, which he imposes or attempts to impose on the others: the oppressed, whose words have been stolen from them. Those who steal the words of others develop a deep doubt in the abilities of the others and consider them incompetent. Each time they say their word without hearing the word of those whom they have forbidden to speak, they grow more accustomed to power and acquire a taste for guiding, ordering, and commanding. They can no longer live without having someone to give orders to. Under these circumstances, dialogue is impossible."

Paulo Freire

Quotation

"I review the panorama of these lives in shocked astonishment and discover, as I begin to feel horror, sorrow, and revulsion, that those who do not experience horror, sorrow, and revulsion are the very people who would have the right to experience them, the very people who live these lives. The principal error of the literary imagination is to suppose that other people are like us and that they should feel as we do. But happily for humanity, every person is only who he is."

Fernando Pessoa

Quotation

"The democratic and social age is then neither the age of the masses nor that of individuals. It is the age of hazardous subjectification, engendered by a pure opening of the unlimited, and constituted from places of speech that are not designatable localities but rather singular articulations between the order of speech and that of classifications. Thus the places of speech from which the limitlessness of the working "class" is projected are not factories or barracks, streets or cabarets. They are texts, phrases, names: reference texts--the Rights of Man or the Old Testament--that permit the articulation of an experience otherwise kept in silence by the separation of languages; phrases and arrangements of phrases that transform, into something visible and utterable, what had no place to be distinguished and was heard only as inarticulate noise, moving into common space new subjects, new legitimacies, and forms in which the former can argue from the latter; words, removed from the common language of designations--names of classes that do not designate any specific collection of individuals but the very disruption of the relations between names and states of affairs."

Jacques Rancière

Quotation

"If Teddie one day makes a real declaration of his love...it will undoubtably take such a difficult form that the young lady will have to have read the whole of Kierkegaard...to understand Teddie at all."

Table



A design for the surface of a near-circular table, 45" diameter. The pattern is based on marks that have been left on the walls of the studio. I will use it to make some drawings, and possibly a video. This is maybe not as dry as it seems.

Malls

I am really into indoor malls, just now.
