EVALUATION - REVELATION - REVOLUTION
A warm welcome to the last NPBIAC gathering on Thursday June 17th, 7.00 – 9.00 pm. 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!
This last meeting is open to all, but we ask that you RSVP as usual to nobodyputsbabyinacorner2009@live.com
Join us for another unforgettable evening!
Best,
NPBIAC/Johanna and Malin

Next meeting Wednesday, April 28th, 2010, 8-10 pm - The YES! Association
A warm welcome to the next NPBIAC gathering on Wednesday April 28th, 8.00 – 10.00 pm. We are proud to have the YES! Association, represented by Åsa Elzén and Hong-An Truong, as hosts for this meeting.
The YES! 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?
For more info please see: www.foreningenja.org
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 April 27th at noon.

Next meeting Wednesday April 21th, 8.00 - 10.00 pm - Craig Willse and Dean Spade
A 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.
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?
Required reading: "broadside" by Craig Willse and Dean Spade; first chapter in Seeing like a State, by James C. Scott.
Optional reading: Society Must be Defended, March 17, 1976, by Michel Foucault
Craig Willse is a doctoral student in sociology at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, where he is working on a dissertation about technoscience, race, and political economies of population management. His other interests include bikes, complexity theory, Tucson, talking to artists, farms, farmers, and thinking critically about the academic industrial complex.
Dean Spade is an Assistant Professor at Seattle University School of Law, teaching Administrative Law, Poverty Law, Critical Perspectives on Transgender Law and Law and Social Movements. In 2002 he founded the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, a legal services collective that seeks to build racial and economic justice centered trans resistance.
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 April 20th at noon.

A warm welcome to the next NPBIAC gathering on Wednesday April 14th, 8.30 – 10.30 pm. We are proud to have Maria Lind as host for this meeting focusing on Collaborative practices in contemporary art.
Maria writes:
"In recent years the art world has shown a renewed interest in collective work and activity. Collaborations between artists and curators, artists and outside professionals and artists and other artists have become increasingly common, and have raised some pertinent questions regarding authorship and authority. Using the collective project Totally Motivated: A Socio-Cultural Maneouver (Kunstverein München 2003) as a starting point I would like to discuss collaborative practices in contemporary art, as well as more generalised working conditions under post-fordism."
Maria Lind is a curator, critic and currently the Director of the Graduate Program at Bard College’s Center for Curatorial Studies.
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 April 13th at noon.

Next meeting Wednesday, March 31th, 2010, 7-9 pm - Dara Greenwald on School as Art
A warm welcome to the NPBIAC gathering on Wednesday, March 31th, 7-9 pm. We are proud to have Dara Greenwald as host for this meeting.
NPBIAC has invited Dara Greenwald to discuss some of the questions she has posted on the justseeds.org blog School as Art, around the current trend of the school form as artist project. On the blog she has listed a number of examples both to inspire but also to open a discussion on who these art projects serve and if they have oppositional possibilities or are just another venue for people with privilege to socialize with each other and engage in "knowledge production"?
What does this type of art practice say about the current conditions of both official education and/or art? These and more questions can be found on this blog post School as Art and will be raised during the meeting.
Reading: Liberation School for Women, author(s) unknown
Dara Greenwald is a media artist, writer, and researcher. Her current research is about collective cultural production and creative public action coming out of social movements.
More info: www.daragreenwald.com
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 29th at noon. (The reason for the early reply is that Dara has a text she would like to share with participants to preferably read before the meeting.)

Next meeting Friday March 26th 2010, 7-9 pm - Amy Scholder, editorial director of the Feminist Press
A warm welcome to the next NPBIAC gathering, Friday, March 26th, 7-9 pm. We are proud to have Amy Scholder, editorial director of the Feminist Press as host for this meeting.
Amy Scholder writes:
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 here.
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.
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.
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 FP website.
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.

Next meeting March 10th 2010, 7-9pm - Expressions of anger and reason for action
A warm welcome to the next NPBIAC gathering, Wednesday, March 10th, 7-9 pm. Malin Arnell, one of the NPBIAC organizers, will host this meeting.
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!)
Between 2002-2007 Malin Arnell was one-fourth of the feminist performance and artist group High Heel Sister (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.
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 Gestures - Performance and Sound Art, at Museet for Samtidskunst, Roskilde, Denmark). From this body of work - let's try to embody some collective emotions...

Catherine Lord is an employee of the state of California. Having come of age in the 1970s, she’s stumped by the current fascination with the decade.

Next meeting February 15th 2010, 7-9pm - Barbara Steveni
A warm welcome to the next NPBIAC gathering, Monday, February 15th, 7-9 pm. We are proud to have Barbara Steveni as host for this meeting.
Barbara Steveni conceived and co-founded the Artist Placement Group (APG), in London in 1966 with a vanguard of artists, including Ian Breakwell, David Hall, John Latham, Anna Ridley and Jeffrey Shaw working in emerging fields of Multi-Media and Conceptual Art of that time. 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.
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.
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.

ENCORE: Next meeting January 27th, 7-9 pm - New Feminist Economy
It's so good we're doing it again!
We are very proud and happy to let you know that the meeting on Wednesday 20th is fully booked. But the New Feminist Economy group - Dana, Jordan, Tia and MPA have offered to host a second gathering next Wednesday on January 27th, 7-9pm.
"if i had a hammer i would smash patriarchy"
If first-wave feminism of the early twentieth century demanded the right to vote, and if second-wave feminism of the 1960s demanded equal economic opportunities and sexual self-determination; then, what are the demands that would propel a tidal wave of current feminisms? What could feminist theories of 'difference' offer a strategic need to unite demands?
This overarching question of strategy will motivate this night's gathering. Questions of domestic labor, social reproduction, and alternative structures of economic exchange will be put to use in trying to develop a praxis of difference and a critique of disparity. What can political economy learn from feminist critiques of phalocentric language? What is the role of negativity in juggling the anti-patriarchal position and an anti-capitalist one? Taking into consideration the tensions between demands for recognition and demands for redistribution, identity and class, we will ask ourselves and others: as feminists, what precisely are we working for?
So, if you want to work it, or you want to work for it, or want to work it out..... come on out.

This overarching question of strategy will motivate this night's gathering. Questions of domestic labor, social reproduction, and alternative structures of economic exchange will be put to use in trying to develop a praxis of difference and a critique of disparity. What can political economy learn from feminist critiques of phalocentric language? What is the role of negativity in juggling the anti-patriarchal position and an anti-capitalist one? Taking into consideration the tensions between demands for recognition and demands for redistribution, identity and class, we will ask ourselves and others: as feminists, what precisely are we working for?
So, if you want to work it, or you want to work for it, or want to work it out..... come on out.
