ART 408/508 Art/Artifact Summer Term 2021, August 16-20

 ART 408/508                                                         Art/Artifact                  

Summer Term 2021, August 16-20

Instructor: Colleen Choquette-Raphael

Camille Henrot

As beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table. 
―Comte De Lautreamont

 

This one-week remote studio course will celebrate the theory of the carnivalesque through an exploration of how artifacts act as mediators of experience.

Narratives of the collection, the archive and readymade will be the primary focus of the class. The 2013 Venice Biennale’s Encyclopedic Palace and art movements such as Fluxus, Arte Povera and The Situationist International will also serve as platforms from which we will operate.

Strategies explored: Any work that involves interaction with a found/existing object or image. Various manipulations of imagery and ephemera: montage/collage, artists’ books, games, video, photography, assemblage, small-scale installation and performance.

Course will be conducted remotely, engaging students through prompts, lectures,

readings and online meetings.                                                         No prerequisites.

Graduating Students event: Find your Duck community!

Hi, folks. I wanted to share this live chat opportunity with all of you. The UOAA’s Taking Flight Regional Live Chat is tomorrow, Wednesday, May 20, from 5:00-6:30pm. Graduating students can connect with alumni in the regions that they plan to move to after graduation through real-time, one-on-one chats. Students can sign on any time during the event and stay for the full event, or just a few chats.

We have alumni volunteers signed up to answer grads’ questions – job search questions, finding a Duck community in their new city, or neighborhoods to look at living in – anything that they want to know! This is a great opportunity for graduates who are figuring out where they would like to move after graduation, particularly with not being able to visit the city in person!

We would appreciate any help to get the word out to our graduating Ducks! Grads can sign up using this link: https://app.brazenconnect.com/a/oregon/e/4A961.

UO Student Food Resources

The Food Security Task Force continues to work hard to provide students with the support they need during these unsettled times.

Basic Needs Page – Food: https://blogs.uoregon.edu/basicneeds/food/
We are now using the Basic Needs Blog to keep students up to date on available programs and services. We’d like to draw students’ attention to SNAP resources. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides eligible folks with money for groceries. Right now, because of COVID-19, SNAP benefits are maximized, meaning that individual students can receive at least $190/month. The state of Oregon is particularly supportive of students, undergraduates in particular. The Basic Needs blog now has a series of videos that can help students learn about SNAP and enroll. These videos are produced by students at the Student Sustainability Center and the Duck Nest, who are also holding remote drop-in support hours.

Survey – Where are you and what do you need? https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5zD3Z9hvTseRfnv
In an effort to support our students with targeted programming, we are conducting a survey to find out where students are and what their needs are. This essential survey will allow the task force to develop and enhance food security programs for all of our students. Please share the survey widely.

Finally, our website, https://foodsecurity.uoregon.edu continues to be updated with information about the availability of food security programs in and around campus. Please check frequently.

Students eat free

Ducks Leftover Textover

The Ducks Leftover Textover program alerts current UO students via text message when there is leftover, free food available on campus. These leftover portions come from campus events where food was ordered from UO Catering, but not all of it was consumed.

Texts to announce available food will occur in real time—typically with about 15 minutes notice—and include a location link on the UO campus map.

Taught over three consecutive days, we introduce the SKY meditation technique, a scientifically validated breathing practice that significantly increases one’s well-being and calmness. SKY reduces anxiety and stress markers. The SKY Happiness Retreat is one of the coolest places to connect with yourself, make awesome friends, and have FUN!

…but what exactly do I get out of this?
  • Understand the sources of stress and the role of breathing techniques in reducing stress
  • Meditative practice to manage negative emotions and anxiety
  • Help to improve quality of sleep
  • Increased energy level throughout the day

Testimonials

“Yesplus (now SKY) made me very conscious of my thought patterns, and conscious of a sense of self that exists independent of those thoughts and different moods. It made me calmer, more reflective, more observant, and more stable–I enjoyed the course a great deal, and have found that a daily practice is something I’m relying on. (And this reading and finals period has been largely stress free, mainly because meditating removes most of that stress!)”

— SARAH, SOPHOMORE, HARVARD UNIVERSITY

 

“Alertness, creativity and efficient teamwork, I realize, are the cornerstones in contributing and getting the most from a demanding schedule at a business school. I observe that while students struggle to maintain their energy throughout the day, Yesplus practices helps me to be in “the zone”. They tremendously assist me to keep my smile throughout the day, deliver successfully and involve myself ingeniously… all without feeling a sense of stressful effort. What else can one ask for!”

— CHETAN, MANAGEMENT FELLOW AT SLOAN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

Funding Awarded to Community Arts Projects in Eugene

Community Arts Grant 2018-2019 Awards_Media Release-2agox5p

Lane Arts Council & City of Eugene 
Award Funding to Community Arts Projects
Lane Arts Council announces $56,125 in grants to arts organizations and arts projects in the Eugene area. The Community Arts Grant Program is funded by the City of Eugene Cultural Services Division and administered by Lane Arts Council.
The Community Arts Grants help ensure diverse and accessible arts opportunities and experiences for Eugene artists, audiences and participants.
This year nine community arts organizations, with annual budgets above $100,000, will receive Program Grants and 17 community arts projects will receive Project Grants. Project grants will fund: theatre productions, poetry slams, arts and writing competitions, summer rock camps, festivals, art exhibitions, mural programs, fashion shows and more.
St. Vincent de Paul was awarded a Community Arts Grant for their Metamorphose Earth Day Event in which they will invite the community to participate in upcycled/recycled art and design challenges and learn about responsible waste-diversion.
“Community Arts Grants play a critically important role in Eugene by helping to meld mission with art—and that art helps to make that mission visible, vibrant and accessible,” says Terry McDonald, executive director of St. Vincent de Paul. The agency also received a Community Arts Grant that will enable a local artist to work with residents of the new SVDP Youth House for homeless teen girls to create a mural telling their collective story.
Another grant recipient, Wordcrafters in Eugene, will present a Fiction Fantastic contest for young writers to showcase their creativity and publish their written works.
Wordcrafters in Eugene Executive Director, Daryll Lynne Evans, explained why the grant is meaningful to their organization: “Having access to quality creative writing instruction is vital for our youth to discover their voices and hone their story-telling skills. This grant makes it possible to give youth in our community a space to be published and know that their voices matter.”
“Arts and culture is the heartbeat of our city and the reason why so many of us love living in Eugene,” states Liora Sponko, Lane Arts Council Executive Director. “These grant awarded projects and programs provide our community with access to the incredible artistic contributions of our local artists and arts organizations.”
Join us for a special award ceremony open to the public:
