3. Tom Trusky, FF Alumn, curates show at Idaho Center for the Book, thru June 1
The Idaho Center for the Book will bring a traveling exhibition of James Castle works to the Boise State University Student Union Gallery, beginning with a reception from 5:30 p.m.-7 p.m. April 29 at the gallery. The exhibition will continue until June 1 and is curated by Tom Trusky. This exhibit features rare, early Castle works discovered in a Garden Valley icehouse. The display also will include additional art works and visual narratives that were recently discovered in Caldwell, Idaho. The owners of the Early Attic, an Idaho City antiques store, bought the works for $10 at an estate auction. These visual narratives have been “translated” for the first time. The show has been previously displayed in New York City, Chicago, Canada and England.
James Castle was an autistic, self-taught artist and bookmaker. He was born in Garden Valley in 1899 and was thought to be deaf, mute, illiterate and mentally challenged. He produced thousands of drawings and illustrations during his life, using tools that he fashioned himself. He died in Boise in 1977.

5. Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid, Joseph Kosuth, Warren Neidich, FF Alumns, at Neuroaesthetics Conference, UK
Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you all know about the Neuroaesthetics Conference
that I am helping to organize at Goldsmiths. Best Wishes, Warren
NEUROAESTHETICS
Organized by Warren Neidich, ACE-AHRB Fellow, Goldsmiths College with assistance from Charlie Gere, Institute for Cultural Research, Lancaster University.
IAN GULLAND LECTURE THEATRE, GOLDSMITHS COLLEGE,
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MAY 20 AND 21ST FROM
9:30 am-7:00 pm daily
Art is increasingly bound up with knowledge production and information distribution. As of this trend, artists have begun to investigate the brain and Neuroaesthetics is a means by which they are accomplishing it. Neuroaesthetics is a dynamic process through which the questions of neuroscience are made “ready-mades”. Concepts such as sensation, perception, memory and recently networks, plasticity and sampling operate within philosophical, cultural, sociological, psychological,historical and economic milieu and are concurrently inciting artistic experimentation. Neuroaesthetics describes new conditions for the production of a new population of objects, object relations and non-objects which in the end can be differentially sampled by the plastic brain providing a means by which culture may play a role in sculpting neural networks. As such the importance of art in the larger bio-political contexts should not be overlooked.Goldsmiths College and the Arts Council of England have assembled a distinguished group of artists, curators, scientists and philosophers to explore the following topics: 1. How curators explore notions of the Neuro-Sensorial-Cognitive. 2. How new optical technologies create altered subjectivity. 3. The meaning of the term “The Cultured Brain”. 4. The brain as the new site of bio-political interactions. 5. How drugs and altered states of consciousness influenced Minimalism and Post-Minimalism. 6. How notions of Brain influence Architectural forms and processes. 7. Art praxis and artist Interventions in the late twentieth Century.

7. Coco Fusco, FF Alumn, at the New School, May 5, 6:30 pm
VIEWING ACTS
A Panel and Discussion on Contemporary Art and Audience Relations, featuring
Claire Bishop
Coco Fusco
Alan Gilbert
Grant Kester
and Vera List Center Fellow Walid Raad
Thursday, May 5, 2005, 6:30 PM
The New School
Wollman Hall
66 West 12th Street , 4th floor
New York City
Admission: $8, free for students
The past decade has seen artists, critics, and scholars significantly rethink interactive relationships between artworks and audiences. One prominent version of this interactivity is known as “relational aesthetics,” a theory attributed to French curator and critic Nicolas Bourriaud. The phrase has come to designate a particular connection between the form, experience, and meaning of the work of art and its intended or imagined audience. Other critics have described this type of relationship as dialogical. Understood as collaborative, reciprocating, frequently site-specific, and usually transient, relational and dialogical art practices take as their conceptual horizon the realms of exchange between artist, artwork, and audience.
This panel will address current dominant approaches to an aesthetics and politics of relation. Featuring presentations by Claire Bishop, Coco Fusco, and Grant Kester, followed by a conversation with Alan Gilbert and 2004/05 Vera List Center Fellow Walid Raad, the panel will focus on topics such as the limits and possibilities of interactive relations, and the various institutional and cultural contexts for these relations.
For ticket information and reservations, please email specialprograms@newschool.edu or call (212) 229-5353.
Established in 1992 by a grant from the late Vera List, a life trustee of New School University, The Vera List Center for Art and Politics explores the role of the arts in developing a civic culture of pluralism in the United States. In public lectures and symposia, through research activities and publications, and in programs associated with the University’s art collection, a wide array of visual and performance artists, scholars, curators, and political leaders come together to investigate the intersection of art and politics.
During the year 2004-05, the Center’s programming includes an interdisciplinary exploration of the theme of “homeland.” For a current listing of programs, please visit www.nsu.newschool.edu/vlc.

9. Chrysanne Stathacos, FF Alumn, at PS 122, opening May 7, 4 pm
CHRYSANNE STATHACOS Another Chance: a temporal art installation
VENUE: PS122 Gallery at 150 First Avenue, New York, NY 10009
DATES: May 7- June 17, 2005
RECEPTION: Saturday May 7th, 4:00 PM
HOURS: Thursday – Saturday 12:00-6:00 PM
and by appointment call 212-219-1820
A conversation with the artist and curator Amy Lipton, of Ecoartspace, New York and Abington Art Center, Philadelphia, will be held on Saturday May 7, at 4:00 pm.
A closing performance by Chrysanne Stathacos will be held on Friday, June 17, at 6 p.m.
Another Chance (aka Tower of Babel) is a temporal art installation made from roses. The installation also includes a 24-foot-long photo-montage depicting wishing rituals from around the world that reflect the ephemerality of change in nature. After plucking apart dozens of roses petal by petal, Stathacos composes room-sized circular petal mandalas which decay and shrink over time. The installation concludes with a sweeping performance whereby the artist gathers up and throws the mandala petals to the winds. Chrysanne Stathacos’ installations, photographs, public artworks and performances cross cultural boundaries to connect the parallels between ritual ceremonies and contemporary installation and performance art practices.
Stathacos’ recent solo exhibitions include, another chance, Nature Morte, New Delhi, India; biCHANCE at Participant Inc., New York, and Cross Your Fingers, Project fur Kunst und Kultur, Frankfurt, Germany. Recent group exhibitions include Trouble in Paradise, Abington Art Center Philadelphia, PA; Face Value; Plastic Surgery and Transformation Art, New York Academy of Science; The Invisible Thread, The Buddhism Project, Snug Harbor Cultural Center and The Spiritual in Photography, Photographic Resource Center at Boston University.

The Guardian
Forget the history books, according to American performance artist Tim Miller; what we really need if we are to understand US history is a thorough knowledge of the Broadway musical. “Who needs Marx and Engels when we have Rodgers and Hammerstein,” suggests Miller, who points out that The Sound of Music offers the defeat of fascism through “festive song and dance” and that South Pacific was banned in many Southern states for its portrait of inter-racial relationships.
The playwright Tony Kushner summed up Miller well when he wrote: “Tim sings the song of the self which interrogates, with exploding and subversive joy and freedom, the constitution and the borderlines of selfhood.” US is a case in point. It is a goodbye letter – angry, sorrowful, and resentful – to the country that raised Miller and now rejects him because it does not recognise same-sex marriage: Alistair’s work permit has run out and he must leave America.
Miller has made an art of his life, and he continues to do so here in a show that is rough and raw, as inconsistent and uneven as life itself, and entirely without artifice. There are no fictions here; no made-up dramas of lives torn apart, because it really is happening. Don’t expect Ethel Merman or firework theatrics. Miller doesn’t mention La Cage Aux Folles and the defiant gay anthem, I Am What I Am. That’s because US just is what it is.
Until May 8. Box office: 020-7307 5060.

14. Sue De Beer, FF Alumn, at NYU, opening May 6
NYU brings work by 100 young artists to East Village in Storefront/Forefront, May 6-14
Storefront/Forefront will fill an unrenovated commercial storefront with works by over a hundred undergraduate and graduate students in NYU Steinhardt’s Department of Art and Art Professions – from studio artists with international exhibition experience, to art educators working with incarcerated girls to express themselves through art.
The exhibition, designed by studio art faculty Carol Bove, Jesse Bransford, David Rimanelli, Keith Mayerson, Sue DeBeer, Nancy Barton, Chuck Agro, Gerry Pryor, and Mark Johnson, references the legacy and the vibrant history of the East Village art scene of the 1980’s, which brought installations by a host of artists into warehouses and storefronts, becoming a worldwide symbol of art that moves beyond galleries and museums and into the streets.
WHAT: Storefront/Forefront
An exhibition featuring NYU student works in a range of media – from video, paintings, performances, sculptures, and photographs, to collaborative installations, and projects by educators and therapists – will fill thousands of square feet, fusing high art with community art, reconsidering the relationship of expression and commerce.
WHEN: MAY 6-14, 2005
Opening Celebration: Friday, May 6 from 6:00 PM until Midnight
7-May: 12:00 – 6:00 PM

Opening Reception May 6, 6pm
This exhibition is dedicated to the memory of Susan Sontag, a gifted writer and thinker. Her absence from this world will be sorely missed.

This exhibition is a visual artist’s curation of imagery made by other artists about war.
Curator: Kathleen Gilrain, Executive Director, Smack Mellon Gallery
Featuring the work of:
Bobby Neal Adams, Mike Asente, Barnstormers, Nina Berman, Melissa Dubbin and Aaron S. Davidson, Ron Haviv, Susan Meiselas, Eve Sussman, Sarah Trigg and photographs by anonymous WWII photographers from the collection of Edward C. Graves.

16. Stephanie Trojan, FF Alumn, at MARTa Herford, Germany, opening May 7
MARTa Herford:
The great Opening Weekend
Opening 7 and 8 May 2005
Herford Town Council and MKK gGmbH extend an invitation to attend the inauguration of MARTa Herford and the large exhibition “(my private) HEROES”.
“(my private) HEROES”
7 May – 14 August 2005
Artists, Heroes and Stars
The depiction of heroic individuals is one of art’s great themes. Today, yesterday’s gods are tomorrow’s media stars. This exhibition tells of heroes and the images of them in art stretching from the 19th century until the present day. In the 20th century, artists continuously rediscovered heroic modes of expression – sometimes self-mockingly, such as Martin Kippenberger and Andy Warhol, and sometimes with a tragic, existential flavour, such as Jean Fautrier, Joseph Beuys and Wols.
(my private) HEROES deliberately avoids attempting to present unambiguous definitions of the heroic. Instead, it presents a much wider approach to themes such as idol and star, perpetrator and victim, and wounds and martyrdom. Today’s heroes are not so much saints and prophets as people and artists.
The exhibition calls into question the very nature of the hero. It investigates the ways in which artists nowadays portray themselves and work.
The artist-heroes and media stars on show in this exhibition make up a subjective selection. The heroes of the 20th century are no longer just the great charismatic leaders, the movers and shakers, but also the antiheroes: (anonymous) victims and even perpetrators, often posthumously turned into heroes by their followers.
Heroes – like art itself – live from the enthusiastic admiration of their beholders. By opening up his personal chamber of curiosities, Jan Hoet will be allowing a view of his own private world of heroes.
Concept and artistic direction: Jan Hoet
Curators: Véronique Souben, Dr. Michael Kröger
7 May 2005, Program
Erick Beltrán
Art intervention in Herford
The medium chosen by mexican artist Erick Beltrán for his art intervention is the poster combined with the impact of the written word. His intervention in the urban setting is an engineered situation that needs to be seen. For his action in Ghent, he selected the word ‘doubt’.
12 noon – 5pm: Performance
Stefanie Trojan „palpabile“
In her performance “palpable”, German artist Stefanie Trojan will be questioning human habits and social behaviour patterns. Lobby MARTa Herford
