Daniel Birnbaum. The Work of Hilma af Klint. 2016

source: European Graduate School Video Lectures    2016年12月31日
http://www.egs.edu Daniel Birnbaum, Professor at The European Graduate School / EGS. Saas-Fee/Switzerland. 05 Aug 2016.
Daniel Birnbaum is a Swedish art critic, theoretician, curator, and the director of the Museum of Modern Art (Moderna Museet) in Stockholm.
From 1989 until 1997, Birnbaum worked as an art critic in the Swedish newspapers Dagens Nyheter and Expressen, but also as an independent curator. In 1998, he obtained his doctoral degree from Stockholm University with a thesis on Edmund Husserl (The Hospitality of Presence: Problem of Otherness in Husserl’s Phenomenology). Since 1998, Birnbaum has also been a contributing editor of the international art magazine Artforum (New York), and has also written numerous articles for magazines like Parkett and Frieze. He has also worked as a director of IASPIS (The Swedish Arts Grants Committee's International Programme for Visual Artists). In 2001, Birnbaum became Rector at Städelschule, Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. During his time at this fine arts academy, he also presided over Portikus, Städelschule’s exhibition site which is also recognized as one of the leading places for contemporary art in Germany.
While he taught in Frankfurt am Main, Birnbaum continued his curatorial work. He was a co-curator of the international section at the Venice Biennale (2003) and the director of the 53rd Venice Biennale (2009). Birnbaum also worked as co-curator of the first and second Moscow Biennales of Contemporary Art (2005 and 2007). Since 2001, he is a member of the board of Manifesta in Amsterdam. In November 2010, Daniel Birnbaum became the director of the Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
Birnbaum’s essay Chronology (2005) tries to explore different artworks with the help of Deleuzian concept of immanence. He writes about the works of artists such as Stan Douglaths, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Doug Aitken, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Tacita Dean, Darren Almond, Tobias Rehberger, Pierre Huyghe, and Philippe Parreno in order to pose (and subsequently answer) the following questions: “Is it the intentionality described by phenomenology and the ambiguous flesh of the active viewer who enters the work of art and fully explores its most extreme possibilities that determine the limits of possible subjectivation? Or is it the work itself that defines the parameters of new potential forms of subjectivity, perhaps involving modes of awareness that dodge the framework of phenomenology?”
The book Under Pressure: Pictures, Subjects, and the New Spirit of Capitalism that Birnbaum co-edited with Isabelle Graw gathers the contributions from the same-titled conferences at Institut für Kunstkritik at the Städelschule (2006 and 2007). The aim of these conferences was to discuss the value system resulting from the “New Spirit Of Capitalism.” According to Birnbaum and Graw, writers like Paolo Virno, Luc Boltanski, and W.J.T. Mitchell have developed new conceptual tools that are useful for the analysis of the present condition. Therefore, these conferences sought to take up the potential application of the new conceptual tools formulated by Virno, Boltanski and Mitchell. However, another goal was to describe and confront the external pressures and constraints that play a large role in the production of artworks. The book edited by Birnbaum and Graw gathers dilemmas and answers of the various conference participants (e.g. Luc Boltanski, Sabeth Buchmann, Tim Griffin, W.J.T. Mitchell, Sighard Neckel, Martin Saar, and Paolo Virno).

Together with Heike Belzer, Birnbaum edited the book Teaching Art: Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main (2007). This is both a book and a document about Städelschule and its daily life and educational goals. Wolfgang Tillmans’s contribution consists of a series of photographs that depicted life in this school, and all texts present in this book were written by people who either worked at the school as faculty members or held workshops and seminars at this vibrant place.

Anthony Bourdain & Laurie Woolever: "Appetites" | Talks at Google

source: Talks at Google     2016年11月30日
Anthony Bourdain returns to Talks at Google to talk about "Parts Unknown", the "Hunger Tour", and the upcoming Bourdain Market. He is joined onstage by his co-author Laurie Woolever to chat about their latest cookbook, "Appetites".
Get the book here: goo.gl/cmjKSy
Author, TV host and producer Anthony Bourdain is a man of many appetites. And for many years, first as a chef, later as a world traveling chronicler of food and culture, he has made a profession of understanding the appetites of others. These days, however, if he’s cooking, it’s for family and friends.
Now, in APPETITES: A Cookbook, his first cookbook in more than ten years, Bourdain boils down forty-plus years of professional cooking and world traveling to a tight repertoire of personal favorites and dishes that everyone should (at least in his opinion) know how to cook, including: Roast Chicken with Lemon and Butter (“It’s a life skill that should be taught to small children at school”), Candied Sweet Potatoes (“Put those goddamn marshmallows away“) and Kuching Style Laksa (“I’m a firm believer in the notion that a bowl of spicy noodles is a portal to perfect happiness.”). Written with the no-holds- barred ethos of his beloved series, Parts Unknown, APPETITES is a collection of recipes for the home cook.

About Anthony Bourdain
Anthony Bourdain is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Kitchen Confidential and Medium Raw; A Cook’s Tour; the collection The Nasty Bits; the novels Bone in the Throat and Gone Bamboo; and the biography Typhoid Mary: An Urban Historical. He has written for the New York Times and The New Yorker, among many other publications. He is the host of the Emmy and Peabody Award–winning docuseries Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown on CNN, and the publisher of an eponymous imprint for Ecco. He lives in New York City.
About Laurie Woolever
Laurie Woolever is a writer, editor and longtime lieutenant to Anthony Bourdain. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, GQ, Food & Wine, Lucky Peach, Saveur, Dissent and other publications. Woolever is a graduate of Cornell University and the French Culinary Institute, and is a former editor at Art Culinaire and Wine Spectator. She has worked as a cook, gardener, video clerk, farm hand and busgirl. She lives in New York with her husband and son.

Mystical Christianity with Richard Smoley

source: New Thinking Allowed     2016年12月1日
Richard Smoley is editor of Quest: The Journal of the Theosophical Society in America. He is also former editor of Gnosis Magazine. His books include Hidden Wisdom: The Guide to the Western Inner Traditions, Inner Christianity: The Guide to the Esoteric Tradition, Forbidden Faith: The Secret History of Gnosticism, The Essential Nostradamus, Conscious Love: Insights from Mystical Christianity, The Dice Game of Shiva: How Consciousness Creates the Universe, The Supernatural: Writings on an Unknown History, The Deal: A Guide to Radical and Complete Forgiveness, and How God Became God: What Scholars Are Really Saying About God and the Bible.
Here he notes that the essence of Christianity is a heart-centered focus on love. Over the centuries, as the church rose in political power, various esoteric traditions evolved for the purpose of maintaining emphasis on this central focus. He uses the analogy of the apostles Peter and John to highlight the difference between exoteric and esoteric religion. He also discusses modern Christian mystics such as Rudolf Steiner and G. I. Gurdjieff. In describing the different levels and types of love, he closes the interview with a recitation of the original “Prayer of the Heart”.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is a past vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology; and is the recipient of the Pathfinder Award from that Association for his contributions to the field of human consciousness. He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.

The Ethics of Crossing Humans with Animals | Glenn Cohen

source: Big Think    2016年12月1日
Harvard bioethics specialist Glenn Cohen considers the complex question of whether humans should mix their genetic material with other animals to create chimeras.
Read more at BigThink.com: http://bigthink.com/videos/glenn-cohe...

Transcript - So a recent set of controversies has to do with the funding by the federal government about a research that mixes human and animal genetic material sometimes called chimeras, but there's actually a broader – so again, the method is to think about a large number of cases; it's helpful to think about very different cases. So to use some real cases imagine you mixed human brain cells, so human brain stem cells in the embryonic stage into a mouse to create a mouse with a humanized brain and it wouldn't be a human brain. It isn't exactly the same. It's much smaller, for example, but has humanized elements. Another example is imagine you took a gorilla, treated the gorilla exactly as it is but were able to generate a human looking face, so a gorilla with a human face, how would we think about that entity?

Kevin McNeilly: McNeilly Watchmen Lecture (12/04/2015)

source: Arts One Open     2015年4月12日
In this lecture for Arts One (http://artsone.arts.ubc.ca) at the University of British Columbia, Kevin McNeilly begins by talking about the material nature of the text, its physicality and structure, distinguishing it from the linear and confining movement of film. The collaborative nature of graphic novels resists a single, authorial intention or perspective, as does the juxtaposition of the ordered, gridlike, rational aspects of the story and illustrations with the messy, chaotic, fluid-like blood and bodies that sprawl through and across the grid lines. McNeilly concludes by discussing the “fearful symmetry” of issue 5: why should symmetry be fearful? According to McNeilly it’s possibly because of the violence of trying to contain the lived body in an authoritarian, rigid, symmetrical order.
