We want to invite you all to meet one last time, in this setting, for a very informal evaluation. We want to see you all again and make room for comments and thoughts. Maybe read out loud from the book. Smile silently to each other. Scream in rounds, beginning and end. Eat and talk. Cheer one another. Write down our secrets and send it off into the future. If there is a room there is a crowd, a will and a way. Hope to see you there!<br /><br />This last meeting is open to all, but we ask that you RSVP as usual to <a href="mailto:nobodyputsbabyinacorner2009@live.com">nobodyputsbabyinacorner2009@live.com</a><br /><br />Join us for another unforgettable evening!<br /><br />Best,<br />NPBIAC/Johanna and MalinUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8735760594165861231.post-44498621358622257492010-06-06T19:54:00.000-07:002011-06-05T16:41:07.332-07:00Release of the NPBIAC publication<div><object style="width:420px;height:325px" ><param name="movie" value="http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Fcolor%2Flayout.xml&backgroundColor=000000&showFlipBtn=true&documentId=110207010610-344ff077d3764951a1ffcfa22db02164&docName=npbiac&username=malinarnell&loadingInfoText=NPBIAC%20Publication%202010&et=1307317140840&er=13" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/><param name="menu" value="false"/><embed src="http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" menu="false" style="width:420px;height:325px" flashvars="mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Fcolor%2Flayout.xml&backgroundColor=000000&showFlipBtn=true&documentId=110207010610-344ff077d3764951a1ffcfa22db02164&docName=npbiac&username=malinarnell&loadingInfoText=NPBIAC%20Publication%202010&et=1307317140840&er=13" /></object><div style="width:420px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://issuu.com/malinarnell/docs/npbiac?mode=embed&layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Fcolor%2Flayout.xml&backgroundColor=000000&showFlipBtn=true" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://issuu.com" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://issuu.com/search?q=writings" target="_blank"></a></div></div><br /><br />Dear participants, friends, contributors, instigators, close and distant lovers of Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner,<br /><br />We want to invite you to the release of the NPBIAC publication that is part of the Studio Program Exhibition at Art in General.

Association is a group of artists based in Sweden and the U.S. who work towards creating a more equal, diverse and interesting art world. The basis for their work is the on-going formulation of an Equal Opportunities Agreement that demands structural changes in art institutions. This agreement exists in numerous forms and has been addressed through performances, fiction and live negotiations. During this session, Åsa Elzén and Hong-An Truong will lead us through a series of activities to get at questions around the utility, effectiveness, and problematics of categories. Should we speak the categories that we already know are at work to define us? In what ways do categories reduce and essentialize productive difference? How is naming both a powerful political act and at the same time an act that can re-produce categories that have also historically been confining? Is equality – through categorical statistics and quota provisions – a goal?<br /><br />For more info please see: <a href="http://www.foreningenja.org/">www.foreningenja.org</a><br /><br />This occasion is open to 20 participants and you need to RSVP to <a href="mailto:nobodyputsbabyinacorner2009@live.com">nobodyputsbabyinacorner2009@live.com</a> to be able to join, please do so before April 27th at noon.<br /><br />Join us for another unforgettable evening!<br />(And please note the time of the meeting 8.00 – 10.00 pm)<br />Best,<br />NPBIAC/Johanna, Malin, Åsa and Hong-AnUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8735760594165861231.post-32959905111607304652010-04-11T13:21:00.000-07:002010-04-12T16:18:38.221-07:00Next meeting Wednesday April 21th, 8.00 - 10.00 pm - Craig Willse and Dean SpadeA warm welcome to the next NPBIAC gathering on Wednesday April 21th, 8.00 – 10.00 pm. We are proud to have Craig Willse and Dean Spade as hosts for this meeting focusing on different ways of conceptualizing stateness.<br /><br />During this session, Craig Willse and Dean Spade invite us to think about different ways of conceptualizing stateness. How does the category of "the state" inform our understandings of violence, resistance, co-optation, law and identity? How might movements for prison abolition, wealth redistribution, native sovereignty, queer and trans liberation, and an end to immigration enforcement offer ideas that can inform theorizations of stateness? How do these themes reflect in the day-to-day art, knowledge production, and organizing work we are doing in collectives, collaboratives, coalitions, alliances and other structures?<br /><br />Required reading: "broadside" by Craig Willse and Dean Spade; first chapter in Seeing like a State, by James C.

We are proud to have Amy Scholder, editorial director of the Feminist Press as host for this meeting.<br /><br />Amy Scholder writes:<br />I would like to generate a conversation/think tank for how to enact feminist publishing. I became the editorial director at the Feminist Press a year and half ago. (FP is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year; I have been editing books for independent publishers for over 20 years.) The Press had had a mission to publish books by women/for women. I felt such an idea of feminist publishing was outmoded, and have now changed the mission to something more about choice, gender equity, and social justice. You can read the new FP statement <a href="http://www.feministpress.org/about-fp">here</a>.<br /><br />With this new program, I have published a dozen books or so, and have another dozen in the works (and many more proposals to read!). I list a number of them below, with a shorthand to describe what they're about. This list should give the NPBIAC group a good idea of what kind of feminist publishing I'm doing.<br /> <br />My interest for the meeting would be for each person to come up with and present an idea for a new Feminist Press book. Not a general idea of what I should be publishing, but a specific idea that promotes a particular subject, author, title, or project.<br /> <br />Any book that I publish at FP needs to have a potentially wide readership (3,000 readers or more), so I can not publish artist books, monographs, or books that have a singularly contemporary art audience. That said, I am very open to ideas, and want to learn what young feminists want to read. FP books can be for scholarly discussion or for a popular audience (or both). What I hope is obvious from the list below is that I’m interested in books that challenge what we mean by gender, books that question issues of race and class in dominant culture, books for activists and thinkers and poets (but no poetry!). FP publishes fiction and nonfiction (including memoir, essays, biography, etc), and graphic books. Please also see the <a href="http://www.feministpress.org/">FP website</a>.<br /><br /> This occasion is open to 20 participants and you need to RSVP to nobodyputsbabyinacorner2009@live.com to be able to join, please do so before March 31th at noon. <br /><br />Join us for another unforgettable evening! <br />Best, <br />NPBIAC/Johanna, Malin and AmyUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8735760594165861231.post-75556059945601569472010-03-04T09:45:00.002-08:002010-03-06T09:09:40.019-08:00Next meeting March 10th 2010, 7-9pm - Expressions of anger and reason for actionA warm welcome to the next NPBIAC gathering, Wednesday, March 10th, 7-9 pm. Malin Arnell, one of the NPBIAC organizers, will host this meeting.<br /><br />We will follow up the last meeting in which Catherine Lord and the group shared some strategies and methods using anger as driving force. For this meeting we suggest to collectively explore some expressions of anger and reason for action. (You can definitely attend even if you were not in the last meeting!)<br /><br />Between 2002-2007 Malin Arnell was one-fourth of the feminist performance and artist group <a href="http://rolloverallover.blogspot.com/">High Heel Sister</a> (together with Line S. Karlström, Anna Linder and Karianne Stensland). The starting point for High Heel Sisters collaboration were their shared, yet varying, experiences of physical attributes of height (minimum 178 cm), shoe size (minimum 41) and age (minimum 30yrs). With a large dose of humor and a burning feminist zeal High Heel Sisters examined and took on many of society’s (and their own) expectations and accepted norms primarily associated with gender, sexuality and class.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8yW6JZIZw5TUpxenX9Qj-MlB_icMq7FCnvaMm1o3WD8EuX9tYm-76-0p-xdBi2HSPHJ91EvoziJ_zgMwePY206UOJMisv4xy0ycCo5sJSmhyJe3SzNIcY4apOQ2TR5Hiz4Ce5pRbFtvc/s1600-h/scream_light_still.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8yW6JZIZw5TUpxenX9Qj-MlB_icMq7FCnvaMm1o3WD8EuX9tYm-76-0p-xdBi2HSPHJ91EvoziJ_zgMwePY206UOJMisv4xy0ycCo5sJSmhyJe3SzNIcY4apOQ2TR5Hiz4Ce5pRbFtvc/s400/scream_light_still.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444840512512840226" /></a><br /><br />We will start the meeting by screening two of High Heels Sisters videos: Scream (2007) and a documentation of our last performance, Screaming Mountain (2007) (now showing in the exhibition <a href="http://samtidskunst.dk/en/view/objekt/?tabel=udstillinger&id=215">Gestures - Performance and Sound Art, at Museet for Samtidskunst</a>, Roskilde, Denmark).

Having come of age in the 1970s, she’s stumped by the current fascination with the decade. She doesn’t know how to be ironized, mediated, resituated, contextualized, etc. etc. etc. and at the same time inhabit her memories of anger and of unlearning, among other things.

Steveni’s innovative concept, based on a more holistic and intuitive view of Art than was current at the time, would take another 20 years to enter the mainstream. APG, later renamed O+I, acted as the precursor to current notions of ‘Artist in Residence’ and Public Art programmes.<br /><br />Steveni is currently active as artist, curator and lecturer, in particular addressing Art and the ‘new’ Economics, Art and Business and ‘Socially Engaged Art Practice’ from and on behalf of the artist voice. Additionally, Steveni is engaged in a personal work under the title; I AM AN ARCHIVE, tracing through a series of walks, revisits and interviews, her life and role within APG / O+I, in relation to today’s circumstance, and to current and future art practice.<br /><br />This occasion is open to 20 participants and you need to RSVP to nobodyputsbabyinacorner2009@live.com to be able to join, please do so before Feb. 14th at noon.<br /><br />Read more about Artist Placement Group (APG) and O+I here <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/learning/artistsinfocus/apg/default.htm">>></a><br /><br />PUBLIC PROGRAM at Apexart, February 16 - 20, 2010 in conection to the exhibition <span style="font-style:italic;">The Incidental Person</span> <a href="http://www.apexart.org/events/hudek_events.htm">>></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8735760594165861231.post-39004467653003386472010-01-18T13:35:00.000-08:002010-01-18T14:14:58.163-08:00ENCORE: Next meeting January 27th, 7-9 pm - New Feminist Economy<span style="font-style:italic;">It's so good we're doing it again!</span><br /><br />We are very proud and happy to let you know that the meeting on Wednesday 20th is fully booked.

I grew up bilingual and bicultural and feel at home everywhere and nowhere, finding comfort in practices rather than spaces. I received (or claimed) my undergraduate education through the University of California campuses at Davis and Berkeley, and remain indebted to my teachers there for educating me in the pleasures and contingencies of being a critical scholar and practitioner of many things.<br /><br />I moved to New York in the fall of 1999, with my two close friends A and M. We flew TWA. I worked at MoMA, index Magazine, and doing various odd jobs to put myself through graduate school at Bard College. Since completing my graduate degree, I have made a living and a life as an educator at various public universities, including UC Davis, Montclair State University, and now at Hunter College, where I am Acting Director of their Asian American Studies Program.<br /><br />My practice continues to center upon dislocation, translation, intertextuality, and memory. I recently completed a manuscript of poems, entitled A Machine Wrote This Song, and I am in deep with a long essay entitled “The Autonomic System.” In addition, I am restarting my “Projections” project, looking at maps, the law, and the language of forgetting.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Focus for discussion Nov 4th: Two Majorities</span><br />The two texts I’d like to share are taken from an ongoing project entitled "Two Majorities" – the title intended to address the impossibility of multiple ruling bodies/the hope that ruling bodies will consume each other/my objections to the American usage of the term “minority” as an identificatory category. "The Autonomic System” is a speculative essay investigation into what it means to lose, and try to trace, what’s been forgotten/re-named/occluded, prompted here by the death of a parent. Ideas that circulate throughout the text include trans-lation/-nationalism, racialization, and intimacy. These narrative strands extend into the second piece, "Svenska," a series of questions and hypotheses around my Swedish mother’s emigration to the U.S. in 1965. Each project (all of my work, really) begins with fragments – anecdotes, photographs, glimpses – and extends into interstitial explorations around race, gender, language, dislocation, (be-)longing, and border-crossing(s). My hope is that the NPBIAC evening can involve not only excerpts from these texts, but also broader discussions/hopes/experiences around (fragmented) narratives of belonging, exclusion, and/or forgetting.NPBIAChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16097663648366984399noreply@blogger.com0
