I have read some of Mr. Kingsnorth’s work and am a fan. I wish I were local to attend this event. I would be interested in any information on the event that may be available once it has been held.

Comment on The Art of Improvisation – Call for Papers ASA 2012 by Ira Seidenstein, MA, PhD

Ira Seidenstein, MA, PhD — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 11:37:10 +0000

Hello,
I have just recieved notice regarding “The Art of Improvisation”. I work with improvisation on a regular basis in my theatre related work. I have created template for improvisation based on the anatomy and theoretically or metaphorically claim taps the ever changing flow in the physiology. The template is “The Four Articulations” for acting, clowning, improvisation. My graduate degrees have dealt with this: M.A. in Visual & Performing Arts “The Actor’s Body in the Space of the Theatre”; and, PhD in Education “From the Liminal to the Visceral”. The PhD presents a new basic trilogy for learning – Embodied Practices, Creativity, Integral Learning. That thesis made use of Pierre Bourdieu’s ideas stemming from habitus (the body, Embodied Practices).

I would be happy to present a workshop and talk at the 2012 conference.

Regards,
Ira

Cheers from us here in the village of Juan Mata Ortiz, Chihuahua, Mexico!

Former Santa Fe-Abiquiu- San Francisco-New York artists, Ana and I have relocated to work and engage with our new community and surroundings in a small “pueblo de rancho” on the edge of the Sierra Madre and of the Pre-colombian Paquime Ruins in Casa Grandes, 20 miles away.

Our website is under construction. We have guest quarters and love what you are doing up there in Taos….You may consider visiting us someday. 10 hour drive to our door from Santa Fe, crosiing the border at Columbus, NM.

I will be participating in the ISEA Conference via the National Hispanic Cultural Center and Albuquerque Museum with my images, “Cars in the New Mexico Landscape” .

Ana has just self-published via Blurb.com , volume 1 of The Art of Survival and the Survival of Art- Hector and Graciela Gallegos, Mata Ortiz Pottery.

Wishhing you the best!

Can someone explain this project a bit more? From the website it’s hard to tell.

Without more information it appears to be a bee prison.

Hi Rebecca – I work for an architecture firm here in Houston and would LOVE to attend the Symposium. Unfortunately, a lot of our projects are coming to a head here and there is no getting away at the moment. Will you be writing a follow-up piece after the event? I’d love to live vicariously :)

Anyways, thanks for sharing! – Aly

Jonathan Kraft (Going Green) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 16:31:28 +0000

This looks like an amazing contest with fantastic prizes. My watercolor skills probably aren’t up to par to compete. I have a couple of friends who I think will be interested in this, and will be passing it along to them.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to get to Riga for this conference. Do you know if there will be a summary posted online somewhere or other place where I can learn what has gone on at the conference? Maybe they will put up YouTube videos? Any help appreciated.

Comment on Synth-ethic vs Vandana Shiva by Greg Patch

Greg Patch — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 20:51:31 +0000

is there explanation some where on how the creators/thinkers here connect the dots between artists synthesizing thru their processes and synthetic materials. The verb synthesizing and the noun synthetic, as in manufacturing using toxic materials have entirely different meanings for me. Am open to learning!

Comment on a little girl and a big snake – can the arts connect us before its too late? by lisa marini finerty

Hi Cathy,

We share your concern and mission, though we have a predominently user generated site. It is amazing that Braque and Picasso understood and imaged cubism before Albert Einstein identified it.

I am writing because we have a Citizen Science initiative in N. America (currently – though we are international), for which we want to get some attention. I am sending you some info and invite your response. Hope all is well and keep up the good work. Lisa

We are YourGardenShow.com, a free social network connecting gardeners of all experience levels with knowledge, tools and resources to inspire sustainable green communities. More gardeners mean healthier communities. We are organized around a garden log which each gardener can chose to share. Plus, we have about 40% original content, including videos.

This month, we unveil an initiative with the first national phenological network (USANPN.org) of Citizen Scientists to undertake the first online national bee count (they’re disappearing, causing concern for food security as well as being harbingers of environmental danger). We would like to publicize the initiative since that is what it will take to get the data collected so it can do good!

Would you be interested in running a story on it? We have copy, blogs and press releases. Here’s a page from our site indicative of the outreach: http://www.yourgardenshow.com/citizen-science/great-sunflower-project

We would appreciate any exposure you can give it, since the benefits depend on and accrue to everyone equally. We would, of course, link back to anything you wrote about us.

Thanks!

Lisa Finerty
Outreach Director

Comment on The Sustainable City and the Arts by SusatinableCities

SusatinableCities — Wed, 11 May 2011 09:55:22 +0000

Sustainability topic is definitely more social and cultural topic then pure research and technology question. I find sustainability education in our society to be very important. A new project by Siemens called Sustainable Cities http://www.usa.siemens.com/sustainablecities/index.htm provides great solutions for eco cities of tomorrow.
