art & research The arguments in this paper are, from the point of view of academic research, unsoundly reasoned and quite unsubstantiated. The paper’s polemical tone perhaps generates more heat than light. It is not intended to be a closely-argued presentation of empirical data or a contribution to critical theory. ‘Research’ for the purpose of the RAE is to be understood as original investigation undertaken in order to gain knowledge and understanding. UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) definition of research This definition (like the AHRC’s) is so generalized as to exclude very little and to offer very little in meaningfully describing how art activity – as research – might relate to other humanities research, nor why it might be approachable in exactly the same way, or definable in precisely the same terms.

The New Breed of Documentary Photographers Le Journal de la Photographie Portfolio Don Hamerman: Baseballs For the past several years, I have been walking our family dog at a park near our home. There's a baseball field there which has been in use for, as far as I can tell, at least 80 years.

webculture 「結婚相談所は恋愛結婚をあきらめた人がお見合いをしにいく場所」だなんて思っていませんか？それは間違ったイメージです。最近の結婚相談所は、婚活ブームの影響で会員数が増加し、普通の男女が「理想のパートナーを探して、真剣に恋愛をしにいく場所」になっているのです。出会いがない、時間がないと嘆いてばかりいないで、自分から理想のパートナーに近づいてみませんか？ 結婚相談所の最大の魅力は、職業、年齢、年収、趣味、価値観などの条件を指定した上でパートナー探しができること。 結婚相談所の基本的なサービスに、カウンセラーによるお相手紹介とお見合いがあります。 結婚相談所で出会ったからといって、必ず結婚ができるわけではありません。 「お見合いは堅苦しくてちょっと…」という人向けのサービスが、婚活パーティーや会員限定のイベントです。 結婚相談所に入会する際には、独身証明書や収入証明書の提出が必要になります。 服装やマナー、婚活、恋愛に関するセミナーを用意している結婚相談所も数多くあります。 結婚相談所と一口に言っても、サービスの内容はさまざまです。 Powered by ズバット 結婚サービス比較 ご希望の方には会社名の記載のない封筒で資料をお届けしています。 入会前にカウンセラーと面談をします。 入会前に写真を見ながら、自分に合ったパートナーを探すことができる結婚相談所もあります。 結婚相談所の中には、お試し婚活パーティーを用意しているところがあります。 結婚相談所はある程度費用がかかりますし、入会してみないとわからないこともたくさんあります。 Word of the Year 2009 Firstly, let me apologise for another post that looks back at 2009 given the avalanche that there has been over the past month. I took advantage of a few days of exile to the French countryside over the holidays to think about some of the trends that have emerged over the course of 2009. One thing that I have been particularly struck by is how ubiquitous ‘curators’ and ‘curation’ have become over the last year. I keep hearing these terms used in what I would consider to be unusual contexts, referring to the process by which the stuff that is sold in a store is selected (some ‘trend watchers’ have even labelled this curated consumption), a group of images are put together online, or even to someone making a mixtape. We are all curators now, or at least we all want to be: apparently curator ranks as one of the best careers for 2010 in the US. So what exactly do we mean when we say ‘curator’?

La série « Offrandes » mise en scène par le photographe Joachim Lapotre, relance le culte animiste version contemporaine. Drap de soie et bijoux en or honorent le porc et le veau métaphorphosés en divinités, le temps de clichés codifiés à la manière d’un magazine de mode. Bêtes à cuire enrobés dans un « packshot » en vogue, ces offrandes modernes font des vaguelettes difformes, elles puisent leur attraction dans la « normalité » du langage publicitaire, symbolique sournoise naturellement destinée à lobotomiser le cerveau des masses. Penser moins ou du moins comme des porcs afin de célébrer la dictature du capitalisme libéral. Joachim Lapotre - gymnopd_core

no code • look what the cat dragged in art in dublin By andrea kirsh August 15, 2009 · 2 Comments It’s rare, but much more interesting, to find serious museums who are willing to take a focused look at art of particularly local interest rather than seeing yet again the same handful of artists who are fashionable at the moment throughout international art circles. I saw fascinating exhibits in July at The Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane and Project Arts Centre of two generations of artists whose themes are Irish national identity (not individual identity, as was of interest to Americans since the 1980s) during periods of change. Timothy Hawkesworth The Sower at Night 1986 While much of the work would stand up to international viewing it all concerns specifically Irish questions that would require footnotes elsewhere. Patrick Graham The Life and Death of Hopalong Cassidy 1988 The exhibited work was from the 1980s to the present, but I’ll concentrate on the earlier paintings.

A harrowing, historic week in Egypt They have been days of chants and chaos, bloodshed mixed with moments of breathtaking solidarity between the protesters and the soldiers sent to subdue them. The flame of social unrest that first flickered in Tunisia has spread to Egypt, culminating with the announcement Tuesday by President Hosni Mubarak that after three decades in power, he would not run for another term. The clashes left government buildings in ashes, stores ransacked, and an economy teetering. President Hosni Mubarak, in a taped speech shown Tuesday night, announces he would not run for reelection.
