Guest Curator, Sara Barnes Of Brown Paper Bag

Do you collect art? I do! I’ve been very slowly acquiring things that I like, but it is hard since I am a graduate student and on a limited budget.

What is the favorite piece of art that you own? Steven Riddle and I traded art last fall. He traded me picture of a still life with flowers, using his handcrafted colors and textures. It is hung in my entryway, and greets me when I come home.

Which artist, living or dead would you most like to meet? That’s a tough question! It changes all of the time. I would actually love to meet Neko Case, who is known for her music.

What was the last museum / gallery you visited? What’s next on your list? The last gallery I visited was the Maryland Art Place in Baltimore, Maryland to see Mina Cheon’s new exhibition, Polipop. I’m traveling to my hometown of Kansas City, Missouri soon so I’m going to try and make it to the Nelson Atkins or Kemper Contemporary Art Museum. I haven’t been to either institutions in 5+ years!

Do you produce art? If so, what sorts of things do you create? I do, and having an artistic practice is important to me, as I think it gives me better insight to others’ work. I work a lot in collage, mostly paper. I also have rediscovered my love for embroidery and have started sewing again.

Did you grow up in an artistic family? My mother and brother were/are both English majors in college. My brother is still continuing his education (in English) and will begin his PhD this coming fall. My mother also had a sketchbook when she was younger, which I think inspired me to draw as a child!......

The Language Habitat: an Ecopoetry Manifesto

The Language Habitat: an Ecopoetry Manifesto By James Engelhardt Ecopoetry is connection. It’s a way to engage the world by and through language. This poetry might be wary of language, but at its core believes that language is an evolved ability that comes from our bodies, that is close to the core of who we are in the world. Ecopoetry might borrow strategies and approaches from postmodernism and its off-shoots, depending on the poet and their interests, but the ecopoetic space is not a postmodern space. An ecopoem might play with slippages, but the play will lead to further connections. Ecopoetry does share a space with science. One of the concerns of ecopoetry is non-human nature (it shares this concern with the critical apparatus it borrows from, ecocriticism). It certainly shares that concern with most of the world’s history of poetry: How can we connect with non-human nature that seems so much more, so much larger than ourselves? How can we understand it? One way

Satın Alınamayan Ortak Kader “Yeni Normal”

Yeni normal.Şu günlerde oldukça duyduğumuz bu kavram tuhaf ve ıssız olan bir uzamda huzursuzluğun kaygıya doğru birleşme yarattığı noktada var olmakta.İçimizde bulunduğumuz gerçeklik şimdilerde böyle tarif ediliyor.Acaba gerçekten böyle mi? Yeni ve normal mi?Yeni olan gerçeklik acaba normalleştirici mi? Bugünlerde çoğu insan nasıl normalleşeceğimiz konusunda tartışıyor, kakafonik tarzda bu tartışmalar hiçbir şeyin eskisi gibi olmayacağını ifade eden gürültülü haber bültenlerine yakın benzerlikte yorumlarla beraber buharlaşıyor.Aslında anlamların, kavramların,temsillerin ağına yakalanan vahşi anlamsız bedenler olduğumuz gerçeği (Erasmusvari tabiriyle bir “homo bulla”)ile karşı karşıyayız.Bunun yanı sıra insan hayatında korku ve izalosyonun tam ortasındayken derin ve olumlu bir değişim olabileceği inancıyla uyanıyoruz.Kapitalizmin rasyonalitesi ve şiddetli sonuçları olan ırkçılık, cinsiyetçilik ve eşitsizlikle karşı karşıya kalan insanlar olarak kendi “elleriyle” işledikler
