The purpose of this program is to meet the goal of providing financial assistance to CBS students, staff, faculty, and alumni who have suffered financial loss due to catastrophic events.

The concept of Stewardship is broken down into three parts to meet the above-stated goal in our new pilot first year experience course, GNED Through the course the student will be able 1 to adopt learning strategies that conform to how God designed the student as a learner; 2 to incorporate biblical truths in planning, prioritization and implementation for realizing educational goals; 3 to develop a spiritual service of worship in academic life, personal life, and local church ministries.

Office of Institutional Effectiveness. CBS recognizes godly Christians have varying positions on gender roles, and seeks to give students examples inside and outside of the classroom, as well as the curriculum, of biblical leadership and authority that will equip them to serve in ways that we deem biblically appropriate based on the testimony of Scripture. CBS affirms that men and women are created in the image of God Gen.

We affirm that men and women have full access to God through the redemption of Jesus Christ. They also share in the same spiritual privileges, including but not limited to: We believe men and women are equally valuable and responsible for spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ and furthering His instruction to the church. In love, God has established distinct roles and responsibilities for women and men. We also affirm that the opinions, ideas, and proposals of men and women are of equal value and should be considered under the instruction of the Scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

When men and women work together in their respective functions, then two are better than one, God is glorified, and the church and home are edified. A man who is called to be a husband is to provide caring, spiritual covering over his wife in order to be used by God to meet her physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. He is to be a servant leader who puts her needs above his and treats her in an understanding way as a fellow heir of the grace of God Eph. Single men are called to undistracted devotion to the Lord, to treat women as sisters in Christ in all purity 1 Cor.

We believe that men who are fathers are called to love and serve their children by leading them in the love, discipline, and instruction of the Lord so that the children do not lose heart. Fathers are called to provide an example of Christlikeness and godly fatherhood that directs their children to their heavenly Father Eph.

As sons, they are to honor their mother and father. As boys in their youth, they are called to obey and submit to the leadership of their parents and apply the biblical teachings of their parents to their lives Eph. They must shepherd the church with the love and care of Christ, Who is the ultimate head of the church. Men who are called to this office should exercise oversight not under compulsion; not for shameful gain, but eagerly and voluntarily according to the will of God 1 Tim. Women who are called to be mothers are responsible to love their children and to assist in the instruction and correction of their children under the spiritual direction of the Bible and biblical guidance of their husbands if married for the glory of God and the benefit of the children Prov.

We affirm that the responsibilities of women, as they relate to the home and the church, directly correspond with how they were originally created by God. Single women are able to dedicate more time to discipleship and service that glorifies God 1 Cor. As daughters, they are to honor their mother and father.

As girls in their youth, they are called to obey and submit to the leadership of their parents and apply the biblical teachings of their parents to their lives Eph. We affirm that in relation to the church, all women are called to support and submit to biblically ordained male pastoral leadership. We affirm that it would not be biblically appropriate for a woman to have the same authority as a man in terms of leadership and the pastoral role in the local church.

We affirm this is a function that has been sovereignly assigned to men based on 1 Tim. Women are responsible to instruct other women and children in the ways of righteousness Tit. However, the apostle Paul instructs women not to teach or exercise authority over men 1 Tim. Paul is not preventing women from using their gifts in the local church context. Just the opposite, Paul instructed women to teach and shepherd women and children Titus 2: Therefore, we believe it is critical to the life of the local body that female students are theologically developed and encouraged to carry these truths back to their churches and teach the female members and children of their local congregations.

Summarily, there are two important truths that CBS values and will seek to affirm: CBS takes the safety and well-being of our staff, students, and campus visitors very seriously. It is one of our top priorities, and it is with utmost care and diligence that we make decisions such as this. After extensive review and evaluation of decisions from other private higher ed institutions, along with input from our staff, faculty, and students, a recommendation to opt out of campus carry was presented to the CBS board of trustees, and was approved on June 28, Therefore, CBS has opted out of the campus carry law.

Campus Carry Law S. However, the law gives private universities discretion to regulate campus carry including: The campus carry law applies to all land and buildings owned or leased by an institution of higher education. Open carry is not permitted on CBS property. Violators of the campus carry law will be subject to gun confiscation, legal action, and possible revocation of their CHL by state authorities.

When will the campus carry law take effect? What is the difference between open carry and campus carry? Where Texas law or regulation prohibits possession of firearms on particular premises, the prohibitions are enforced as a matter of criminal law. The open carry legislation states that holders of a handgun license may now carry their handgun visibly in a waist belt holster or a shoulder holster.

Prior legislation, however, provided a number of locations where the carrying of a concealed handgun, notwithstanding licensure, was prohibited. See Texas Penal Code sections Senate Bill 11 only allows for the concealed carry of handguns by licensed holders on campus. Consequently, open carry is not allowed on the CBS campus. Prior to changes made in the 84th Legislature, individuals, with certain exceptions, such as law enforcement personnel, were prohibited from carrying handguns inside any CBS buildings, even if the individual held a concealed handgun license CHL.

Senate Bill 11 Campus Carry, mandates that, pursuant to a prescribed process, institutions of higher education alter their rules governing handgun possession. While the open carry legislation allows licensed holders, starting January 01, , to openly carry their handguns in various locations in the State of Texas, the campus carry legislation broadens the right for licensed holders to carry handguns in a concealed manner on college campuses, if deemed appropriate by the college. What other safety measures does CBS have in place?

Campus officials work hard to ensure the safety of our campus community. For more information see http: CBS also offers a crisis app that provides emergency information. Click here for download instructions. What do I do if I see someone with a weapon on campus? Do not attempt to confront the individual. Alert CBS security at A person who fails to comply with the concealed handgun rules and regulations prescribed by CBS will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination or dismissal from the College; and may also be in violation of Texas Penal Code Sections Who are some of the other private institutions that have opted out of campus carry?

Examples of other private institutions who have made the decision to opt out of campus carry include: Where can I get more information about campus carry, concealed carry, and open carry? There is helpful information available on the internet, including: Providing a safe environment in which to work and learn is an ongoing process.

This is just one part of a much larger, broader crisis management plan in place to ensure the safety of our CBS community. In accordance with Chapter In addition, CBS strictly prohibits the unlawful carrying or possession of any weapon in a CBS parking facility or parking area, including in employee-owned vehicles parked on CBS property.

This prohibition includes any devices that might reasonably be mistaken for a firearm or weapon. Under Texas state law Senate bill , licensed holders may transport and store handguns and ammunitions in private locked vehicles while parked on the campus but may not carry a handgun or ammunition into the CBS building or on CBS property. All other non-licensed persons are not allowed to store handguns and ammunition in their private vehicles.

In accordance with Texas state laws, including the open carry, campus carry and concealed weapons laws, CBS will not allow a licensed permit holder to bring a firearm onto the CBS campus. The only exception to this law is for authorized law enforcement and police officers. Exceptions to this policy must be authorized in advance and in writing by the CBS administration. Violations of this policy will be considered a serious offense and will be referred to both internal administrative authorities and external police authorities. CBS employees and students share the responsibility of identifying violators of this policy.

An employee or student who witnesses or suspects another individual of violating this policy should immediately report this information to security, their supervisor, or human resources. CBS reserves the right to request the appropriate license of any individual in accordance with this policy and Texas state law, and to require the immediate removal of the weapon and the individual from its property.

Violation of this policy may subject an employee or student to disciplinary action up to including termination or expulsion. The College of Biblical Studies passionately teaches about and believes in the holy, righteous, loving, and forgiving triune God Who is responsible for giving all good gifts to His children James 1: As a community of faith that trains men and women for Christian service, we desire to pursue His holy purposes and model His forgiving, redeeming, love to all with whom we come in contact John In His grace, God has revealed His sovereign purposes in His written Word and in the living Word of the person of Jesus Christ, Who is completely pure and without sin as the perfect High Priest and sacrifice for our sins John 1: While on this earth, we will never live lives of complete sinless perfection as Jesus did or know all that the triune God knows; nevertheless, we desire to emulate the standards of holiness and love that God has established for us.

Consistent with our mission of providing biblically based education, the College embraces the Bible as the authoritative source of all beliefs about the sanctity of human life John The Bible portrays human life as sacred with inherent value because humans are created in the image of God Genesis 1: As a result, the College of Biblical Studies does not endorse the taking of a life without just cause including, but not limited to, murder, abortion, euthanasia, and suicide.

Capriciously murdering another individual without biblical warrant is an affront to God, Who created man in His image Exodus Suicide is an unbiblical way to escape the pain one feels and is never endorsed in Scripture Judges 9: Abortion is contrary to the biblical mandate for mothers to protect their children, including those who are in the womb Proverbs The Bible declares that life begins at conception and that abortion, even when the infant will be born with disabilities or infirmities, is an unnecessary taking of that life Judges Forms of contraception that have the same effect as an abortion e.

Other forms of contraception should be considered by married couples only after prayer and consultation with appropriate medical and pastoral staff. The human body following physical death still possesses inherent value since it is the handiwork of God and will one day be physically resurrected from the dead John 5: Consequently, any form of biotechnology that dishonors human dignity should be avoided.

While the College values organ donations and non-embryonic stem cell research, an individual should not consider abortion or suicide as a good means to provide stem cells or organs to others. Forcing euthanasia on some e. There are some instances in which the Bible permits the taking of a human life under specific conditions. The Bible endorses capital punishment when justly and biblically applied as a means to demonstrate the severity of murder and preserve the dignity of human life Genesis 9: Christians should be advocates for justice in all areas of society and the world Deuteronomy The Bible also allows for killing within the context of a just war or for an agent of the government having just cause to perform those duties required to preserve law and order Deuteronomy Furthermore, decisions concerning medical life support should also be made with medical and pastoral counsel.

As the lives of King David and the Apostle Paul illustrate, the Bible offers forgiveness to all murderers and those who have not appreciated the sanctity of life Psalm How do you trace the roots of one of the most significant cross-disciplinary unions in fashion today? Offering complimentary perspectives on a bond that has matured over the span of a decade, and a body of work that transcends boundaries, Ruby and Simons spoke with mutual respect, trust, and a deep investment in the future.

Perhaps It Is Time for a Xeno-architecture to Match documents a conversation series from January to March that explored what an intervention of the xeno might bring to bear on contemporary and future infra structure. Launched in tandem with the eponymous exhibition at greengrassi and Corvi-Mora in London, the publication features visual documentation of multiple art-anthropology exchange processes, ethnographic texts, and further written contributions that introduce contemporary Mongolia as a dynamic site for conceptual and creative experimentation.

With this strategy, Thomas worked against his own historicization, erasing his name from the reigning European and North American art fields. The uniqueness of his oeuvre lies precisely in its avoidance of conventional aesthetics and discursive classifications. A leading figure of the Belgian avant-garde, Mees left behind an outstanding body of work that transgresses geometric abstraction, Minimalism, Conceptualism, and applied art. Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen Hegel after Occupy Hegel after Occupy is a Western Marxist analysis of different attempts to understand the present historical situation and the way theories of postmodernity, globalization, and contemporaneity implicitly or explicitly conceptualize the relationship between the historical present and political action.

They all persuasively describe a breakdown of former historical categories but paradoxically end up understanding this breakdown as the end of politics tout court. The book is both part and result of the intensive sharing of ideas to produce something that captures the spirit of both discussions at that time and the publication process as a temporal form.

The only performances that make it all the way Yes, but is it performable? Written between and , the texts range from public statements, poetic short prose, and film scripts to reflections on the role of the artist and essays on art for children. Magali Reus Hot Cottons As mist, description This publication accompanies two exhibitions of recent sculptural work by the artist Magali Reus: Working from the dual vantage points of South Africa and Europe, the project considers plants as both witnesses to, and dynamic agents in, history. It links nature and humans, rural and cosmopolitan medicine, tradition and modernity across different geographies, histories, and systems of knowledge—exploring the variety of curative, spiritual, and economic powers of plants.

Focusing on a rich ten-year period of production that began in the mid-sixties, it brings new attention to the artistic and intellectual practice of a figure known primarily as one of the main exponents of the Radical Architecture movement. For two years the writing process and the artistic process were interwoven, feeding each other as they evolved. Omar Kholeif Goodbye, World! No longer a placid slow-moving orb, the world is now perceived as a hothouse of activity and hyper-connectivity that cannot keep up with its inhabitants.

The internet has collectively bound human society, replacing the world as the network of all networks. Looking at Art in the Digital Age , writer and curator Omar Kholeif traces the birth of a culture propagated but also consumed by this digitized network. This much-hyped view is rejected in favor of a more rigorous Marxist interpretation of the nature of surplus value, and its role in a systematic law of value. Erik Hagen, Mario Pfeifer Eds.

These works are contextualized by earlier projects in drawing, film, and artist books that span the s to the present. Presenting new research on the artist and providing an unprecedented overview of two decades of work, the book features eleven essays and two interviews, alongside richly illustrated project pages and texts by the artist.

How do artists work today? Has the pluralism of art given way to a pluralism of roles that artists may occupy? What are the contemporary conditions of labour producing this new state of affairs, and what re-skilling does it ask of artists? These are some of the questions addressed in The Artist As. The New Performance Turn, Its Histories and Its Institutions The choreographic turn in the visual arts from to can be identified by the sudden emergence of works created by different visual artists around the world.

Each used dance or choreographic procedures to reinvent, reimagine, and reimage how the visual arts produced and conceived its images and objects.

SOLOMON The King Who Built A House For God - I Kings 1-11 (Biblical Studies Series)

Disassembling Histories of Racialized Violence aims to question and provide answers to current border issues in Europe. Central to this investigation is a refugee crisis that is primarily a crisis of global Western capitalism and its components: Natasha Ginwala, Daniel Muzyczuk Eds. The Museum of Rhythm The Museum of Rhythm is a speculative institution that engages rhythm as a tool for interrogating the foundations of modernity and the sensual complex of time in daily experience.

When entering a larger cultural infrastructure such as the art museum, it juxtaposes modern and contemporary art with ethnographic research, cinema, music, and scientific instruments to set in resonance a critical apparatus and conduct exercises in Rhythmanalysis. This book, and the exhibition upon which it is based, is an outcome of durational research that sees art as one of the means by which the ideologies of rhythm are implemented. The amalgamations of text and image appear in the form of audiovisual transcripts, much of the material scavenged verbatim from popular culture and the user-generated web content of platforms like YouTube, Craigslist, and Reddit.

Alex Klein, Milena Hoegsberg Eds. Ineke Hans Was ist Loos? Wolfgang Tillmans, Brigitte Oetker Eds. Jahresring 64 What Is Different? Since the early s Tillmans has been working on truth study centre , a cycle of works concerned with absolute claims of truth in social and political contexts. Circling around contemporary issues of newly resurfaced right-wing populism, the phenomenon of fake news, and psychological findings such as the backfire effect, Tillmans, rather than analyzing the status quo, focuses on what has changed in the past ten, twenty, thirty, forty years.

Why are societal consensus and institutions now under attack? From to , these projects developed a creative space extended in time: This book extends the recollection and mental reconstruction of the artworks and reconstitutes the project's political aims. Ingo Niermann, Joshua Simon Eds.

Solution — Communists Anonymous Communists Anonymous understands the historical incarnations of communism as substantially incomplete in thought and practice, and places communism where it originated—in the realm of fiction. Only as fiction can communism manifest itself again beyond doubt. Armen Avanessian Miamification Armen Avanessian chronicles his stay in Miami as an experiment in writing about our times of individual optimization and digitization. Can we, it asks, advance from conditions of financial feudalism and climate change to a progressive poetics of the digital?

Berger, John Neff Eds. With an extended introduction by the editors, the book invites reflection on how fictions proliferate, take on flesh, and are carried by a wide variety of mediums—including, but not limited to, the written word. Jahresring 64 Was ist anders? Ausgabe des Jahresrings, die Wolfgang Tillmans als Gastredakteur konzipiert und gestaltet hat. Lori Waxman Keep Walking Intently The Ambulatory Art of the Surrealists, the Situationist International, and Fluxus Walking, that most basic of human actions, was transformed in the twentieth century by Surrealism, the Situationist International, and Fluxus into a tactic for revolutionizing everyday life.

Each group chose locations in the urban landscape as sites—from the flea markets and bars of Paris to the sidewalks of New York—and ambulation as the essential gesture. Keep Walking Intently traces the meandering and peculiar footsteps of these avant-garde artists as they moved through the city, encountering the marvelous, studying the environment, and re-enchanting the banal.

The shifts that occurred in the art field during this time were accompanied by explicit critique and academic analysis that aimed to make the genesis of these transformations comprehensible. Rowe published his pioneering book Design Thinking. In it, he interrogated conceptual approaches to design in terms of both process and form.

Thirty years later, in a lecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Rowe offered a reappraisal of his earlier work, describing ways in which the capacities of the digital age have changed the way we perceive and understand creative problem-solving in architectural design. Using her photographs as conversation prompts with various residents, historians, and architects, Toukan places the anecdotes collected thereby into political and historical context, weaving together narrative and critique.

Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll Ed. Botanical Drift Protagonists of the Invasive Herbarium Botanical Drift explores the hermeneutics, historicization, semiotics, and symbiosis of plants—past, present, extant, and extinct—around the globe. Plant histories are explored by significant and diverse feminist, art-historical, and anthropological voices—from Germaine Greer to herman de vries—bringing new perspectives through photo-essays, fiction, performance, and interventions in ecological, film, and translation archives.

How to imitate the sound of the shore using two hands and a carpet is, at first glance, exactly what it claims to be: Sugar was the building block for edible sculptures and model palaces made for festivals and celebrations thousands of years ago, and the main ingredient in lavish creations for Rococo and Baroque banquets. What Was I Thinking? Annika Bender was one of the pseudonyms of artists Dominic Osterried and Steffen Zillig, who wrote the blog Donnerstag now discontinued under her name.

To make the criticism she proposed possible, and make public its conditions and inherent contradictions—as well as articulate the reasons for her disappearance—it proved necessary to confer Bender to the archive. The prize includes two exhibitions at renowned art institutions in Germany and Belgium, the ars viva catalogue, and an artist residency on Fogo Island Canada. Anne Faucheret, David Jourdan Eds.

The prospect of a fully automated future—while acutely reshaping the notions of work, production, and value creation—also feeds emancipatory scenarios ultimately leading to the end of labor. Total automation is upon us but its liberating promise is yet to be claimed. This book surveys the literature on that story. It tracks its fabric, layers, and mediations, and unfolds a bibliography and chronology of automation and of its promises. Studio for Propositional Cinema in relation to a Spectator: The book investigates notions of the script, staging, and the conditions of the exhibition itself.

Art, Culture, and Urban Practices considers new perspectives and discussions related to the category of density, which for a long time has been part of urban-planning discourses and is now regaining the attention of artists and practitioners from a number of different disciplines. In an interplay of models, coping strategies, and experimental approaches, this publication combines research from cultural studies, artistic research, sound studies as well as architectural and urban theory.

A Recent History of Self-Organized Art Education is a chronicle of self-organized art schools and artist-run education platforms that have emerged since Comprising a series of twenty conversations conducted by Thorne with the artists, curators, and educators behind these schools, the book maps a territory at once fertile and contested. Michael Tedja The Holarium: His work seems to exceed and absorb the institutions that attempt to codify him one way or another. Atelier Bow-Wow with K.

Explaining their belief in the behavioral capacities of humans, architecture, and nature, Tsukamoto and Kaijima reveal the generous spirit of their work, and the importance of pushing such capacities to their most yielding limits. The dead must be brought back to life using means of advanced technology—resurrected not as souls in heaven, but in material form, in this world, with all their memories and knowledge.

Craig Kalpakjian Intelligence Among the first artists in his generation to employ digital software in the creation of art objects, Craig Kalpakjian engages with both historical art discourses and contemporary issues. In his work, Kalpakjian focuses on the seduction of technology and digital space from a critical position, questioning utopian ideals and suggesting darker implications.

Material Utopias In the slipstream of conceptual art, the intimate interweaving of meaning and materialization in art and design came to be discredited in the second half of the twentieth century. Systemics or, Exhibition as a Series Index of Exhibitions and Related Materials, —14 Systemics brings together a collection of new writing and curatorial projects that unfolded at Kunsthal Aarhus, Denmark, over a two-year period from to Contained here are its various parts: Like any series, it unfolds over time, in associative parts, using descriptive and poetic exhibition titles to develop a cumulative experience.

Daniela Zyman, Cory Scozzari Eds. In projects such as his magnum opus Fish Story —95 , or films like Lottery of the Sea and The Forgotten Space , Sekula provided a view from and of the sea. Demos Against the Anthropocene Visual Culture and Environment Today Addressing the current upswing of attention in the sciences, arts, and humanities to the proposal that we are in a human-driven epoch called the Anthropocene, this book critically surveys that thesis and points to its limitations.

Demos analyzes contemporary visual culture—popular science websites, remote sensing and SatNav imagery, eco-activist mobilizations, and experimental artistic projects—to consider how the term works ideologically, proposing more than merely a description of objective geological periodization. It is often said that we no longer have an addressee for our political demands. We have each other. What we can no longer get from the state, the party, the union, the boss, we ask for from one another.

With examples of unexpected collectors and serendipitous outcomes, Shaw investigates the obscure desires that shape art collecting and the public goodwill that results from it. Bik Van der Pol Ed. Her texts record specters and realities of culture, migration, and displacement, compounding the vagaries of rhetoric and poetics with those of personal history and criticism.

When Is the Digital in Architecture? When is the digital in architecture?

Discipleship

What are the conditions that led architects to integrate digital tools into their practices? There are eight million stories of the origins of the digital in architecture, and this book brings together fourteen of them. The arguments address specific changes in ways of thinking about architecture, building, and cities, as well as the shifts in technology that resulted from these changes, marking both a capstone of Archaeology of the Digital and the start of an investigation into other beginnings of the digital in architecture.

These operative terms situate his work between forms of linguistic description and the history of reflexive material practices in art. Rather, they are shaped by always-evolving social, institutional, and physical relations. At that moment, human-related phenomenological analysis clashes with the media-archaeological close reading of the technological event, in an impossible effort to let the temporeal articulate itself.

The Submarine Horizons of Contemporaneity It is said that we know more about far-away galaxies than we do about the bottom of the oceans on earth. One could say something similar about our relationship to the future and to the contemporary. Searching for the present is a bit like deep sea diving. How to dive without drowning in the turbulent waters of now? How to find and share sources of illumination in submarine darkness?

When to surface and how to ride a strong current?

These are some of the questions that Raqs Media Collective address in their account of contemporaneity, guided by a motley collection of figures lost and found in the turbulence of their practice. Projected onto monumental screens in the Boiler House at the KINDL — Centre for Contemporary Art in Berlin from late summer to spring , Olympia aims to exceed the human ability to imagine time, thus radically surpassing our own experience of the world. Its title encapsulates the complex concerns that underpin these shows: Nowadays, a large part of it is based on producing and consuming vast amounts of clothing.

Collections are manufactured at dizzying speeds and sold for extremely low or incredibly high prices. This fast-changing business is hard to break into, or out of. How, as a designer, do you deal with this system and come up with innovative ways of designing, producing, promoting, financing, and selling? Stephan Dillemuth Schall und Rauch. The exhibition presented newly conceived works alongside works from the s exhibited for the first time. Architecture and Refugee , the ninth book in the Critical Spatial Practice series, examines some of the usually disavowed but arguably decisive intersections of mass-population displacement and architecture—an art and technology of population placement—through the twentieth century and into the present.

It gathers more than twenty projects realized between and , including rarely viewed early works that help us see her most recent production from a new perspective. In response to the increasing transformation of public spaces into functional areas toward which individuals are guided to fulfill a given activity, the two artists call upon citizens to become uchronists, to infiltrate public life with physical modules coming from daily behaviors, synchronized and adjusted according to context.

Matter Fictions Matter Fictions addresses fiction as a mode of producing reality as well as the significance of matter—animal, vegetable, mineral, hybrid—beyond binaries. Here, fact and fiction press up against each other and the conflict of one North is reinscribed in another.

This extensive volume loosely catalogues four hundred and twenty works from this series at a one-to-one scale, in precisely rendered photographs. Conceived as a field of production and mutual learning, Green light works with refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, and NGOs to fabricate an unlimited edition of fully functional lamps: Providing fundraising and education opportunities, Green light workshops first took place in Vienna in , and have since been hosted at the Moody Center for the Arts, Houston, and the 57th Venice Biennale.

As experience becomes fact, the past turns into objective matter. His paintings and videos are as much investigations of the processes shaping the narration of events in his home country of Albania as they are reflections on the nature of the image as such.

Transcending the limits of our planet, data collection has become a fundamental tool with which to map the earth and beyond. Justice as Medium," the eighth Contour Biennale in Mechelen, Belgium, addresses the nation-state system and the realm of justice today. Launched as the online journal of the biennial, the reader pairs texts or image-based contributions, allowing for a sense of tension and affinity to develop in the feedback loop of the two voices. Relationships around the artwork as site of evidence and testimony are thus reoriented. The multidimensional readings are not restricted to the active apparatus of law and discipline, but instead seek to unravel the synchronies of our times—the mesh of injustice in our midst.

The presentation of some fifty works is not necessarily categorically or linearly organized; rather, it appears completely free of hierarchy, with photographic styles, subjects, and techniques displayed on equal footing. First Things First emphasizes a juxtapositional approach, a dynamic and free arrangement of various subjects and styles. Through multiple exchanges between members of thirty-two Huni Kuin communities in Brazil, this publication brings together threads from anthropology, art, and science that are interwoven, like the movement of a serpent, with essay contributions, oral histories, drawings, and traditional song.

At the heart of this collection are three provocative texts extracted from important artworks by Rosen, offered here as genre-defying literature at the intersection between reality and fiction, speculative narrative and historical-political critique, humor and eroticism. This publication is conceived as a parallel exhibition in book form, and contains original interventions by and in collaboration with the artists.

Armen Avanessian Overwrite Ethics of Knowledge—Poetics of Existence The original ideals of the Enlightenment research university and the rise of aesthetics in modernity have been decisive in shaping neoliberal capitalism. How, then, might we endeavor to change the academic status quo? Philosopher and political theorist Armen Avanessian argues that the ethical dimension of knowledge can produce a new reality.

Looking beyond aesthetics and its critical imagination, can the speculative poetics of collaborative writing free us from the dominant regime of the academy and, by extension, the art world? It examines the space of arrival as a complicated and disjointed nexus between departure, displacement, and return. In a present moment teeming with erosions—where even history and the human are called into question— Cultural Revolution: Aesthetic Practice after Autonomy reconsiders these changing values, for relegating such notions safely to the past betrays their possibilities for potential today.

Minouk Lim United Paradox What role does historiography play in the formation of the present? How does contemporary experience inform the commemoration of historical events or lack thereof? Minouk Lim explores history in the present tense—its media representation, collective memory, ritual, and trauma—through her exhibition, publication, and broadcasting station United Paradox. The collaboration is structured around Maiwar Performance, in which the CityCat ferries that ply the Brisbane River Maiwar execute unannounced maneuvers near a site of significance to the Aboriginal people who lived on the lands around Brisbane before British colonization in the early nineteenth century.

Helke Bayrle Portikus Under Construction, — In , Helke Bayrle began videotaping the installation of each exhibition at the Portikus exhibition space. These videos form a remarkable and intimate archive of the storied Frankfurt contemporary art institution and the exceptional artists and personnel that have worked within it. The Flood of Rights It is difficult to imagine making claims for human rights without using images. For better or worse, images of protest, evidence, and assertion are the lingua franca of struggles for justice today.

And they seem to come in a flood, more and more, day and night. But through which channels does the torrent pass? The Flood of Rights examines the pathways through which these images and ideas circulate—routes that do not merely enable, but actually shape human-rights claims and their conceptual background. Taken together the works are a collection and an archive of time shown in modern images, raising questions on how we contemplate ideas of nature. Categories such as living ceramics, food advice, ghostology, synesthesia, and transformation are woven throughout the book, giving unique insight into the ideas and imagination that are part of the work itself.

Luca Lo Pinto Ed. Marcus Verhagen Flows and Counterflows Globalisation in Contemporary Art Over the past quarter century, artists have made powerful interventions in debates around globalisation, addressing various dimensions of cross-border exchange, from mass migration to the dynamics of translation, and devising new ways of conceptualising them.

Globalisation in Contemporary Art tells the story of those interventions, dwelling in particular on projects that draw out both the dangers and the tangible or imaginable benefits of global exchange. At least not without magic. And a touch of trickery. Robert Stadler, Alexis Vaillant Eds. Devised largely in response to the gradual breakdown of the divide between art and design that began over a century ago, this book sheds light on the ways that the concept of the thing as idea has been considered over time.

However, at the last minute the project was censored by the Chinese Cultural Bureau, turning what was to be an investigation of libraries and the institutional sharing of culture into an intimate reflection on power and censorship, political art, and the historical experiences shared across formerly divided Germany and the two Koreas. The ideological, economic, or ethically objectionable circumstances of certain biennials and art exhibitions have raised the question of whether to continue and, if so, under what circumstances, with what consequences, and to what ends?

From to , biennials in Istanbul, St. The contributions also look across and beyond the field of media art, staking out new paths for understanding and working in the transversal territories between theory, technology, and art. Black Diamond Dust This publication expands a multisite contemporary art exhibition that took place in Nanaimo, British Columbia, a small city on the eastern edge of Vancouver Island.

The title refers to coal mining, an industry that has formed and fragmented communities through economic development, racial segregation, and labor inequity, while fueling the modern world. In this book, forgotten or under-acknowledged histories are investigated and discussed along with cultural forms that surround the practices of international coal mining.

Contemporary artworks, poetry, essays, literature, folk songs, and archival images come together to extract meaning from this fossilized black carbon that continues to power our cities. CATPC brings together a unique gathering of individuals—along with its members and partner institutions that are engaged in dialogue with it—and attempts to rethink postcolonial power relations within the global art world.

And so we find Vincenzo Latronico attempting to get in touch with E. Practitioners and theorists explore this strategy by pushing the debate into both speculative and real-fictitious terrains. Newly commissioned interviews, artist projects, and essays shed light on topics such as parafiction and algorithmic ambiguity. It is the first volume in a series of books that focuses on what is happening both inside and outside of the art institute.

Cultures of the Curatorial 3 Hospitality: Hosting Relations in Exhibitions A curatorial situation is always one of hospitality. This publication analyzes the curatorial within the current sociopolitical context, through key topics concerning immigration, conditions along borders, and accommodations for refugees. The contributions in this volume, by international curators, artists, critics, and theoreticians, deal with conditions of decontextualization and displacement, encounters between the local and the foreign, as well as the satisfaction of basic human needs.

The artist situates his paintings in complex interrelationships, where connections and relevancies are constantly reconfigured, forming a continuously growing web. Lydia Okumura Situations For almost fifty years, Lydia Okumura has explored the realm of geometric abstraction.

She challenges our perception of space through sculptures, installations, and works on paper that blur distinctions between dimensions. Artistic Research and the Utopia of the Everyday is the outcome of a research project pursued by a group of artists, architects, and social theorists. In the face of an exhilarating politics of accumulation and dispossession, the group explores commoning as the subject as well as the means of its study. This has been a key undercurrent to a practice that spans painting, sculpture, video, and installation.

Following the lure of the fringes, the artist culls her imagery from fan-gore magazines, true-crime TV shows, fetish websites, obscure online forums, and hidden chat rooms tucked away in the darker reaches of the Web. Martin Herbert Tell Them I Said No This collection of essays by Martin Herbert considers various artists who have withdrawn from the art world or adopted an antagonistic position toward its mechanisms. Providing a counterargument to this concept of self-marketing, Herbert examines the nature of retreat, whether in protest, as a deliberate conceptual act, or out of necessity.

By illuminating these motives, Tell Them I Said No offers a unique perspective on where and how the needs of the artist and the needs of the art world diverge. Hannah Rickards Grey light Left and right back, high up, two small windows Grey light. Left and right back, high up, two small windows is a major new work by London-based artist Hannah Rickards commissioned by Fogo Island Arts. Future Imperfect Contemporary Art Practices and Cultural Institutions in the Middle East Future Imperfect critically examines the role played by cultural institutions in producing present-day and future contexts for the production, dissemination, and reception of contemporary art in the Middle East and North Africa.

It offers historical contexts for discussions that have become increasingly urgent in recent years—the role of culture in a time of conflict and globalization—and an in-depth critique of the state of cultural institutions in an age of political upheaval, social unrest, exuberant cultural activity, ascendant neoliberal forms of privatization, social activism, and regional uncertainty.

Since , however, her main focus and passion has been painting. The title of this publication describes the main focus of her work: Texts by writers and artists and an interview with Du Pasquier provide an informative and subjective view of her artistic practice.
