A little reminder from our friends @cara_the_org ・・・ #Repost 1996. For this volume artist Matt Keegan (born 1976) interviews artists and commissions writing to reassess the 1990s as the moment when the Democratic Party abandoned its New Deal values and swung to the right.  In the wake of the 2016 election, Keegan began investigating the Democratic Party’s shifts over recent decades. In the late 1980s, members of the Democratic Leadership Council successfully moved the party’s platform to the right by including a pro-business, pro-military, interventionist agenda, and downplaying social infrastructure as a calculated break from its New Deal-era foundation. This shift led to Bill Clinton’s consecutive terms. 1996 captures this pivotal time in American politics and soci ety through the experience of artists who completed their undergraduate studies in that year and voted for Clinton, and others who were born in 1996 and voted for the first time in 2016. Essays focus on cultural and ideological shifts from that time, such as the 1994 Crime Bill, 1996 Immigration Act, the Telecommunications Act, the start of Fox News and beyond. Interviews edited by Svetlana Kitto. With texts by Alissa Bennett & Mel Ottenberg, Michael Bullock, Dale Corvino, Thomas Eggerer, Svetlana Kitto, Patrick McGraw, Dave McKenzie, Chris Morten, José Muñoz, Debbie Nathan, Yigal Nizri, Nicole Otero & Martine Syms, Mychal Denzel Smith, Natasha Stagg, Lincoln Tobier, Jordan Teicher, and Interviews with Becca Albee, Malik Gaines & Alex Segade, Chitra Ganesh, Pearl Hsiung, Jennifer Moon, Seth Price, Elisabeth Subrin. 📘First establishing itself as a publisher under the imprint New York Consolidated, CARA’s publication program began with1996, co-published with @inventorypress @matt_keeg [Product shot of book.

SEPTEMBER 27: Carrie Brownstein (1974-)

Happy birthday to Carrie Brownstein! The bisexual actress, comedian, and musician turns 43-years-old today. 

Carrie’s autobiography, Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl, was published in October of 2015 (x).

Carrie Rachel Brownstein was born on September 27, 1974 in Seattle, Washington but was raised in the town of Redmond, Washington. She was born into a middle-class Jewish family and after her parents divorced when she was 14, Carrie was raised by her father. She began playing guitar at the age of 15 and received lessons from the legendary Jeremy Enigk. She would go on to attend college at Evergreen State College and receive her degree in sociolinguists.

It was while attending Evergreen State College that Carrie met her eventual bandmates and fellow riot grrrls, Corin Tucker, Kathleen Hanna, Tobi Vail, and Becca Albee. Soon, the band Excuse 17 was formed and Carrie began to rise to the top of the riot grrrl movement of the 1990s. She and Corin started the band Sleater-Kinney as a side project at first, but by 1996, Janet Weiss had joined the band and Sleater-Kinney was catapulting Carrie to music icon status. After initially going on hiatus in 2006, Sleater-Kinney released a comeback album in 2015 and today the band has released 10 albums. In 2011, Carrie burst onto the mainstream media radar with her sketch comedy show Portlandia whose 8th series is to debut in 2018.

Carrie Brownstein with her Sleater-Kinney bandmates Janet Weiss and Corin Tucker photographed backstage at The Fillmore in San Francisco, September 23rd, 2002 (x).

Carrie was horrifically outed to her family by an article in Spin Magazine during her Sleater-Kinney days which discussed her romantic relationship with her band mate Corin Tucker. She would later say, “The ground was pulled out from underneath me... my dad did not know that Corin and I had ever dated, or that I even dated girls." In an interview released in 2010, she publicly identified herself as bisexual by saying “It's weird, because no one's actually ever asked me. People just always assume, like, you're this or that. It's like, 'OK. I'm bisexual. Just ask.”

My helper. I forgot how happy this installation makes me. Come inside with me. INTERIORS: We Are All Pink Inside is part of Curriculum: Spaces of Learning and Unlearning. Below is the info with the full artist list and they are all awesome. And Vera was so truly helpful in the gallery yesterday. And interested “were you inspired by the mirrors in our apartment?” I don’t know, I might have been unconsciously, living with that for so long. (The person who lived in our apartment before us installed a lot of mirrors, including two directly across for infinity effect.) She said, “It’s also like Rose Colored Glasses, since it makes everything in the reflection pink.” I’m grateful. This year she is getting so independent so quickly. I spend less time with her. I love art. Opening Reception: Wednesday, January 16, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM with performance by Julie Tolentino and Pigpen (aka Stosh Fila); curatorial walkthrough from 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM. Artists: OlaRonke Akinmowo for Free Black Women’s Library, Becca Albee, Amelia Bande, Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo, Christen Clifford, January Hunt, Carolyn Lazard, Candice Lin & Patrick Staff, Julie Tolentino, Quay Quinn Wolf, Sarah Zapata Curated by: Stamatina Gregory & Jeanne Vaccaro Curatorial Fellow: Java Jones Thanks: @etchaskretch @whateverjeanne @insta_matina @efaprojectspace @projectforemptyspace #interiors #weareallpinkinside #interiorsweareallpinkinside #videoart #installation #love #healing #curriculum #curriculumspacesoflearningandunlearning #christenclifford #feministperformanceart #feministperformanceartist #healingspace #rape #fuckcancer https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsnj7mYltee/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p1z10m7z8qwf

Manifestos have been historically used by feminist activists, artists and writers to boldly state their ideas and demands. Usually brief and direct in tone, they point to circumstances deemed unacceptable and in need of change, and propose pathways to move forward in order to overcome the status quo. From Olympe de Gouges in revolutionary France to the Redstockings in the streets of New York City and the Zapatistas in the remote mountains of the Mexican southeast, women have employed manifestos as a means to be heard and circulate their ideas, but also as a way to build coalitions with others who might recognize themselves in their struggles. As part of the year-long seminar cycle Freedom of Speech: Curriculum for Studies into Darkness, this event proposes speech as a collective act of re-appropriation. It calls for a network of resistance and transformation through the enactment of a series of documents written by women in different corners of the world during different moments in time, resonant with the explosive reality we experience now. Feminist Manifestos is presented as a two-part public program that will activate written statements challenging cultural production, food distribution, knowledge creation, land ownership and other systems of oppression that the patriarchy, still today, refuses to acknowledge. Starting at 10am on Monday morning, a diverse group of self-identified women from across The New School—students, alumni, administrative and maintenance staff, union members, and faculty—will be reading and performing a selection of historical and contemporary manifestos at various locations within the university's architecture. Those specific spaces have been selected because they relate to the content of the texts, and play a significant role in the performers´ daily lives. Through the acts of public speaking and collective listening, quotidian spaces become the context for socio-political struggles while also pointing out at the emancipatory potential of our everyday activities and choices. The second part of the event serves as a gathering to discuss the conditions from which the manifestos emerged and the ways in which they have catalyzed new forms of cooperation and collective action. Along with feminist scholars and visual artists, we will explore ideas—gleaned from the documents—such as the perpetuation of capitalism based on the unpaid reproductive labor women perform, or the unexpected advantages of anonymity within the arts. Additionally, women who enacted the manifestos earlier in the day will be sharing their experiences of performing Free Speech, embodying the knowledge, perspectives and emotions embedded in those statements. Participants Becca Albee, visual artist and musician Chiara Bottici, Associate Professor of Philosophy, The New School for Social Research Silvia Federici, philosopher, scholar, writer and activist from the radical autonomist Marxist tradition A.L. Steiner, visual artist, teacher, collaborator and co-founder of Ridykeulous and Working Artists and the Greater Economy (W.A.G.E.)

Yay! @l_cy_v_s reviews '1996,' a new anthology revisiting the look of the 1996 presidential race, edited by artist Matt Keegan with writer @svetlanakitto ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ "The anthology deploys ephemera very effectively, handily shocking the reader with the stupidity of mainstream ideology of the mid-1990s. An image of Ivanka Trump as teen model or a fear-mongering depiction of the pledge of allegiance in Spanish and German from the xenophobic nonprofit 'U.S. English,' still operational today—provide some of the strongest tastes of the moment and foreshadow its lingering social and political effects…⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ An informative and, in the end, hopeful collection, demonstrating that we can learn a great deal from recent history, even as the time remaining to apply these urgent lessons grows increasingly short."⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Read the complete review via linkinbio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Published by @inventorypress⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Text by Alissa Bennett & Mel Ottenberg, Michael Bullock, Dale Corvino, Thomas Eggerer, Svetlana Kitto, Patrick McGraw, Dave McKenzie, Chris Morten, José Muñoz, Debbie Nathan, Yigal Nizri, Nicole Otero & Martine Syms, Mychal Denzel Smith, Natasha Stagg, Lincoln Tobier, Jordan Teicher.
