Heureka Exhibition

Heureka*

 
What is broadcasted in the form of “news” in various news networks in absolute majority of cases is covering demands of governments or the governing power of that media. It is decided for people to be informed about which part of the news and which part to remain secret, and perhaps its true matter never be unveiled. Anyway the narration of each media by selection, exclusion, emphasis and hiding some parts of the truth, is trying to wield the audiences who their share of news is determined by the media.
 
Afsaneh Javadpour
 
*The name “Heureka” refers to the Greek exclamation, presumably uttered by Archimedes, to mean “I’ve found it!”

Join Cinema Studies for a screening of Fox Maxy’s GUSH (2023) and a discussion with Adam Piron.

 

GUSH | 2023 | 71 MIN
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY FOX MAXY


An embodied rumination of both male and female power, healing and haunting, all within an apocalyptic world. A transformation that courses through unknown terror to untamed collective joy. 

00

GUSH screened in the 2023 Sundance Film Festival “New Frontier,” which champions artists who engage in experimental storytelling at the crossroads of film, art, performance, and media technology, showcasing cutting-edge work that explores and evolves cinema culture in today’s rapidly changing landscape.

“Pieced together from a near decade’s worth of personal archives, Fox Maxy’s GUSH delivers a kaleidoscopic diary of horror and survival. The film flows seamlessly through found footage, documentary sequences, and digital animation as it weaves through a stream-of-consciousness meditation on the impact of sexual violence and healing through collective joy. At first, it is a fiery manifesto on the sovereignty of land and the body, then an ode to the bonds of friendship before morphing into a celebration of what it means to endure. Maxy’s film is a work defiantly without limits, refusing to be categorized. After building a body of work that established her as an artist to watch within the experimental film space, Maxy’s feature film debut is a continuation of her signature freestyle and sumptuous approach to the medium. GUSH blends an intimate collage of personal footage and fixations that — true to its director’s form — creates something like its own cinematic language. It’s a film that speaks to viewers on its own terms and demonstrates the radical possibilities of personal filmmaking.” –Sundance Program Guide

Adam Piron is a filmmaker, writer, and member of the Sundance Film Festival’s Short Film Programming Team. He is a member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma and is Mohawk. He is also the Director of Sundance Institute’s Indigenous Program where he oversees the organization’s investment in Indigenous filmmakers globally. He is also a filmmaker and co-founder of COUSIN: a film collective dedicated to supporting Indigenous artists experimenting with and pushing the boundaries of the moving image. His films have screened in ESPN’s 30 for 30, The New Yorker’s Documentary showcase, MoMA Doc Fortnight, MOCA Los Angeles, True/False Film Festival, Camden International Film Festival, and various other festivals and programs. 

Two upcoming events on May 3 (that do not overlap)

First event:

Please join us for a screening of Bon-Uta: A Song From Home followed by a discussion with the associate producer, Ai Iwane, and a taiko drumming concert by Ahiru Daiko, UO’s taiko drumming group. The film tells the true story of evacuees from Futabata in Fukushima. Unable to return to their hometown because of the ongoing disaster of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, residents are scattered throughout the country and mourn the loss not only of their community but of their traditions, such as the Futaba Bon-Uta, a festival musical performance they have celebrated for centuries. Through an introduction by the photographer Ai Iwane, they meet a Japanese American Taiko group and learn of a similar Bon-Uta tradition performed by Japanese Americans living in Hawaii. Thus begins a journey through space and time, a journey that brings discovery, friendships, and new hope

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO3kwnlIqPU

The guest speaker will be talking to my class before the screening about the film but also about the photographs she took with an old 360-degree camera. I think she will bring some of these photos with her. If any of your photography students want to come to my class to hear her, we have open seats. 

Gerlinger 302, Wednesday May 3rd, 2:00-3:20.

Please join us for a lecture by Dr. Petra Čeferin on Wednesday, May 3.

 

​*****************

ARCHITECTURE FOR ALL: THE WORK OF JOŽE PLEČNIK

Dr. Petra Čeferin,

Univ. of Ljubljana (Slovenia)

Wed. May 3, 5:30 pm, Lawrence 115

This lecture will focus on the work of Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik and his interventions in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana. In 2021, Plečnik’s work in Ljubljana was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list. The purpose of the lecture is to point to the very contemporary character of his work –to that dimension of his work that is well worth continuing today. Plečnik’s central project was to construct architecture in the world, to materalize it from case to case, from task to task. This is also what guided him in his constructions of public space, space open to all and in which architecture has the potential to reach everyone. In this sense Plečnik insisted on constructing an architecture for all, and thus – in one of the central achievements of his work –in opening up for all the possibility that pursuing architecture as a creative thinking practice offers: that we might activate our capacities for independent thinking and action. 

Petra Čeferin is an architect and professor at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana. She teaches courses on architectural theory and history, specializing in modern and contemporary architecture. Her current work focuses on the issue of the structural logic of architecture as a creative thinking practice.  Her publications include Constructing a Legend: The International Exhibitions of Finnish Architecture 1957–1967 (2003), Transforming Reality with Architecture: Finnish Case (2008), Architectural Epicentres: Inventing Architecture, Intervening in Reality (2008/co-editor with C. Požar), Project Architecture: Creative Practice in the Time of Global Capitalism (2010/co-editor with J. Bickert and C. Požar), and The Resistant Object of Architecture. A Lacanian perspective (2021). Petra Čeferin is the co-founder and editor of the book series Theoretical Practice of Architecture. She is a past recipient of The Annual Bruno Zevi Award.

Artist/curator/writer Andy S. Yang to speak on Mon 5/1 4pm at JSMA Ford Lecture Hall: “Moving Landscapes and Their Entangled Ecologies”

Greetings, all! I wanted to bring your attention to this upcoming talk—one among countless exciting events in the coming few weeks (!!!). I can personally vouch for Andy S. Yang, as someone with whom I’ve collaborated in the past (at the HKW Anthropocene Campus in Berlin, where we co-taught an intensive seminar on „Sensing the Insensible: Aesthetics in/and/through the Anthropocene“ in 2016), and whose art and writing I’ve included in my courses. He’s a brilliant interdisciplinary artist, thinker, and speaker (who also holds a PhD in Biology!) >>> for more, see his website and/or faculty profile at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Hope to see some of you there!! Emily

Plotter Art in the 1970’s
Will Anielewicz

From the earliest days of computing, a special breed of technically-savvy artists used the computer to create works intended to be recognized as art. Their artwork and animations were meant to be appreciated not only for technical achievement, but as works with innate aesthetic value.

This SPARKS focuses on the work of artists and animators who worked in the 1960’s, 1970’s, and 1980’s. We will learn about their experiences working in a time where software had to be developed and specialized hardware had to be developed or accessed from research labs. These artists and animators were pioneers, inventing new directions despite the resistance of the art and technical communities. From algorithmic art to animation, video and interactive art, these artists legitimized the use of the computer as another tool in the artistic grab-bag of techniques.

Dear School of Art + Design Seniors,

All BFA, BA, and BS seniors majoring in Art, Art & Technology/Digital Art, and Product Design are invited to participate in the 2022 Spring Storm, the School of Art + Design’s annual senior show! 

Spring Storm will be exhibited in Lawrence Hall from June 6-13 this year! The School will also publish the Spring Storm catalog and mail each participant a copy, include your work on the Spring Storm website, and highlight student work on Instagram. 

You have received this email because you currently have enough credit hours to be a senior in ranking to graduate in winter, spring, or fall of 2022.

You have been added to the Spring Storm Community Canvas site (community.uoregon.edu), where you can sign-up to participate in Spring Storm and where all pertinent information will be shared.

If you are not planning to participate in Spring Storm or to graduate in this time frame, you may disregard this email and the Canvas site.

All participants will need a faculty sponsor to advise on the work to be exhibited. Seniors registered for a 400-level advanced course in spring term should ask those instructors to be their faculty sponsor for Spring Storm. If you are not enrolled in a 400-level course, you may ask another current or previous studio instructor to be your sponsor.

Keep an eye for a Canvas announcement to sign up to participate, beginning Monday, March 28 and no later than Friday, April 15. Do not hesitate to reply to this email if you have any questions.

Thank you and looking forward!

Julieta Gil
Field Recordings

Julieta Gil creates work from an in-depth analysis of how power structures materialize as symbols that occupy public space. Experimenting with digital and analog media, her process originates from routine walks and participation in public protests around her native Mexico City, thoroughly documenting public architecture, monuments and statues. Gil’s record-keeping system consists of photogrammetric scanning procedures that are traditionally used to create 3D models as simulations of physical objects. Gil devises methodologies that register and catalog her bodily interaction with these, reconfigures and materializes them in ways that put the very idea of the archive into question. Gil’s practice spans installation, sculpture, 3D renderings and time-based media, and incorporates themes of feminism, fiction, memory, and technology with a focus on confronting hegemonic and exclusionary narratives.

In 2020, Gil received the Lumen Prize for Art and Technology for her project “Nuestra Victoria”, envisioned as a response to government censorship around a prominent Mexico City monument which served as a site of protest and intervention by feminist groups. She has exhibited at Nevada Museum of Art, Palm Spring Art Museum, SCAD Museum of Art, Storefront for Art and Architecture, Museo Tamayo, Laboratorio de arte Alameda, Centro de Cultura Digital, among other institutions. She is currently Visiting Assistant Professor within the Department of Art at the University of Oregon.
