The shop definitely needed some attention. My last CC cull obviously hurt Florence's business quite a bit xD

[bengiyo]

Top 5 beautiful boys you didn't know were beautiful until this year (whether because they're new arrivals or because you gained a new appreciation)

Ah, yes, my Bestie in Taste. Let us simp together.

Title Tanatorn Saenangkanikorn

I was aware of Title before this year from small appearances elsewhere, but I loved him so much as Saengtai. He is so ridiculously pretty to me.

Honda Kyoya

I get why everyone was sprung over this man in two shows this year.

James Supamongkon

Yes, we all chose King for our WOULD asks earlier, but I still don't think we've talked enough about how beautiful James is. I'll just use this gif of King's tits to help prove my point. He's prettier than the tits.

Net Siraphop

Yep, I'm including both of them. He was on all of our lists for a reason.

Babe Tanatat

A late entry but a new favorite. Babe is my current bias and I don't care how off the rails The Sign goes as long as he's still in it.

...

Oh, it seems I've run out of slots. Anyway, I'm gay and can do whatever I want.

J-Min

I actually liked J-Min a lot in Love Class 2 and found myself checking in for the first three weeks just to look at him before the show really hit its stride.

Daou Pittaya

I know Daou is growing his hair back out, but he doesn't have to.

Mashiko Atsuki

I would have finished My Personal Weatherman even if it was bad for his visuals alone.

Izuka Kenta

I love the way this man plays quietly unhinged.

Iijima Hiroki

I will watch anything he's in.

Nakata Keisuke

Truly one of the men of the year for me.

Lee Seung Gyu

Y'all should see his workout content on IG.

Thor Thinnaphan

I took notice of everything he did in The Warp Effect and A Boss and a Babe.

Im Ji Sub

I started this with Emily last night and her first comment after it ended was, "Jae Won is hot."

Ben Bunyapol

As NiNi says regularly: "I just know he's keeping someone up at night."

Poom Phuripan

So glad he's going to be in a show with Up Poompat! It's what we deserve!

Edit: I excluded the following people because I was already aware of them, but I loved them anew so I can.

Nonkul Chanon

I was aware of him and his incredible chest from earlier work, but he really was so stunning and so good as Jom this year.

Bright Rapheephong

I was aware of him as one of PP's video babes, but this man's eye work was so fucking good in IFYLITA

Radical Studies of Pedagogy. How Can Teaching be Interdisplinary?

How did radical education shape todays artists, art world and art schools? This is the question so many artists and teachers must keep in mind throughout the process of pedagogy and practice. To answer this question one must look at practices of radical institutions such as Black Mountain College and the Bauhaus, and consider a lecture by Randy Lee Cutler titled "Radical Education: From Bauhaus to Black Mountain College", as well as articles and readings discussing both colleges, democracy within the education system and ideas about radical education and experimentation.  

               The first post-secondary institution to introduce the concept of experimentation was the Bauhaus. The Bauhaus was an art institution founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany in 1919. The Bauhaus focused on the power of geometry, which is apparent in the design of the original building,which is very structured and geometric with clean lines and simplistic structures. The Bauhaus' main focus of practice and pedagogy were upon interdisplinary practices, experimentation and collaboration,gathering hope and inspiration from the post war era it was situated in, as Gropius states in "Manifestoand Programme of the State Bauhaus." "Architects, sculptors, painters – we all must return to craftsmanship! For there is no such thing as “art by profession”. There is no essential difference between the artist and the artisan." From this statement it is clear that Gropius intended for the Bauhaus to combine the idea of the artist and the craftsmen into one, which allowed students to discover new areas of art and practice, also allowing collaboration between students with different abilities. This new practice was considered a radical form of pedagogy because it was so different from other teaching and learning methods of other institutions, however this radicalism put the Bauhaus on the map as an experimental college, and as Virginia Woolf states in her article "Three Guineas", "Obviously, then, it must be an experimental college; an adventurous college. Let it be built on lines of its own. It must be built not of carved stone and stained glass, but of some cheap, easily combustible material which does not hoard dust and perpetrate traditions." The Bauhaus created students interested in architecture, metal work and typography, breaking the traditions of isolation between artisan and artist, challenging individuals to consider materials differently.

               Following the closure of the Bauhaus in 1933, in the same year, Black Mountain College opened in Ashville, North Carolina. Black Mountain is another college that also focused on innovation and experimentation, as Randy points out in her presentation, “there was a desire to create progressive education”, once again a concept seen as radical. BMC existed on its own terms, pushing communal living and classroom structure and cross genre arts education, the public responded strangely, considered the college too radical. One of the most important concepts within BMC was that students are the centre of a proper education; students were left to their own devices to attend class and create pieces that explored the simplicity of basic forms. In videos such as “Fully Awake”, students describe their experience at the school, and practice as working artists in the art world. Lorrie Goulet, describes her experience as life changing and a time of consideration of how the art school functions, in the film she states. “So many great artists went there as students and so many great artists taught there. How did they all get there? What brought them there? And it had to be because it was the emphasis on thinking like an artist, the simplicity of the community life, the openness of questioning and looking for new ways of doing things, not accepting the old traditional university kind of thing.” One of the most important pieces of Goulet’s statement is the idea of questioning, this is what BMC students focused on and was the driving force behind the school because it allowed students to question how the art school functions when artists have full access to create and change the art world, as well as shape their practice.

               Bauhaus students created art that was accessible to all areas of the public sphere, Bertrand Goldberg was a student during the Depression area and describes his experience in "The Bauhaus Symposium" by Kevin Harrington", "It was the marriage between art and industry that the Bauhaus somehow stood for. And it was to make art available to Everyman. In the midst of the Depression, one would have gone to the Bauhaus if one wanted roots. I was happy it existed." Obviously students who attended the Bauhaus graduated with the understanding of artist and artisan as one craft, giving the idea that art can be created by individuals from all areas of practice and skill and involve collaborations, keeping in mind that art must be open to the public eye for consumption and critique.

This concept has a huge impact on art schools of today, as Randy discusses in her lecture "Radical Education: from Bauhaus to Black Mountain College." Randy brings to light the importance of interdisplinary pedagogy and learning, stating that "traditional disciplines are unable to address specific issues within the art world." Interdisplinarity is a concept the Bauhaus prided itself on, and obviously other art schools followed suit, Emily Carr, for example, allows students to take courses from outside their major, giving students the opportunity the collaborate, bring different skillsets to the table and learn from one another. Black Mountain College students continued this concept of radicalism pushing the limits and shaping 20th century modern art. Artists such as John Cage, created, “Theatre Piece No. 1.” This collaborative piece was based on chance that focused on taking individual works from Black Mountain students, and having each artist presenting simultaneously while an audience watched. This was later coined as the first “happening” which Cage became known for, this was the first multidisplinary event that pushed performance art to the forefront. Performance art is widely recognized throughout the art school today and is practiced, and studied, by any artists who also include other forms of art such as video or photography.

               In conclusion, with the research, lectures and readings presented it is clear the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College, although initially considered radical, profoundly shaped the art world, artists and art schools of today. Through radical ideas such as performance art and interdisplinary practices of craftsmen and artist, the art school today has become a place of exploring these avenues and progressive creation, allowing artists to collaborate and explore new options within their practice. If not for these radical schools, the art school would be stuck in the traditional university ways of teaching, learning and developing within a society.

Más daño que beneficio

Javier Marías

Domingo 25 de Junio de 2017

Francamente, me resulta imposible suscribir que Gloria Fuertes fuese una grandísima poeta a la que debemos tomar muy en serio.

[Image: Javier Marías]  SI MUCHA gente desconfía del cine español no es por la persecución que el PP y sus Gobiernos desataron contra él en venganza por las críticas y protestas de la mayoría de los miembros del gremio ante la indecente

Guerra de Irak apoyada por Azna

r, Rajoy y sus huestes en 2003. Los políticos, y en particular los de ese partido, carecen de crédito respecto a sus juicios artísticos. Por desgracia influyen en demasiadas cosas, pero no, por suerte, en lo que sus compatriotas leen o van a ver. La razón principal para esa desconfianza es que durante muchos años los críticos cinematográficos y la prensa decidieron que había que promover el cine nacional, hasta el punto de que casi todas las películas españolas que se estrenaban eran invariablemente “obras maestras”, “necesarias” (el adjetivo más ridículo imaginable) o (cómo detesto ese tipo de expresiones) “puñetazos en el estómago del espectador”. Hay muchas personas ingenuas y de buena fe. Acudían obedientemente a ver los “portentos” y cómo “se incendiaba la pantalla”, al decir de esos críticos paternalistas, y frecuentemente —no siempre, claro está— se encontraban con bodrios y mediocridades y pantallas llenas de pavesas. Ningún puñetazo, sino más bien tedio o irritación.

me lleva a desconfiar de las reivindicaciones y redescubrimientos feministas de hoy, que acabarán por hacerle más daño que beneficio al arte hecho por mujeres

A veces no hay nada tan dañino para una profesión, un colectivo o un sexo entero que sus defensores a ultranza, y me temo que un daño parecido al que se infligió hace décadas al cine español está a punto de infligírsele al arte hecho por mujeres. En la actualidad hay una corriente feminista que ha optado por decir que cuanto las mujeres hacen o hicieron es extraordinario, por decreto. Y claro, no siempre es así, porque no lo puede ser. Como no puede serlo cuanto hagan los catalanes, vascos o extremeños, o los zurdos o los gordos o los discapacitados. O los negros estadounidenses, ni aún menos los blancos, que son más. Todos sabemos de las injusticias históricas cometidas contra las mujeres. Hoy lamentamos que durante siglos no se las dejara ni siquiera estudiar, ni ejercer más oficios que los manuales. Que se las confinara al hogar y a la maternidad, sometidas a la voluntad de padres y maridos. Es sin duda el principal motivo por el que a lo largo de esos siglos ha habido pocas pintoras, compositoras, arquitectas, científicas, cineastas y escritoras (más de estas últimas, a menudo camufladas bajo pseudónimos masculinos). Las que hubo tienen enorme mérito, por luchar contra las circunstancias y las convenciones de sus épocas. Gran mérito, sí, pero eso no las convierte a todas en artistas de primera fila, que es lo que esa corriente actual pretende que sean. Es más, sostiene esa corriente que todas esas artistas geniales fueron deliberadamente silenciadas por la “conspiración patriarcal”. No se les reconoció el talento por pura misoginia. Se quejan, por ejemplo, de que a Monteverdi se lo tenga por un genio y

en cambio no a Francesca Caccini

. No sé, yo soy aficionadísimo a la música, pero el único Caccini que me suena es Guido, un pigmeo al lado de Monteverdi. Así, cada vez que se descubre o redescubre a alguna pionera de algún arte, pasa a ser al instante una estrella del firmamento, a la altura de los mejores, sólo que eclipsada tozudamente por los opresores del otro sexo.

En contra de esa supuesta y maligna “conspiración”, tenemos el pleno reconocimiento (desde hace ya mucho) de las artistas en verdad valiosas: por ceñirnos a las letras, Jane Austen, Emily y Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot, Gaskell, Staël, Sévigné, Dickinson, Dinesen, Rebecca West, Vernon Lee, Jean Rhys, Flannery O’Connor, Janet Lewis, Ajmátova, Arendt, Penelope Fitzgerald, Anne Sexton, Elizabeth Bishop, en el plano del entretenimiento Agatha Christie y la Baronesa Orczy, Crompton y Blyton y centenares más; en España Pardo Bazán, Rosalía, Chacel, Laforet, Fortún, Rodoreda y tantas más. En realidad son legión las mujeres llenas de inteligencia y talento, a las cuales ninguna “conspiración” de varones ha estado interesada en ningunear. ¿Por qué, si nos proporcionan tanto saber y placer como los mejores hombres? Lo que no es cierto, lo siento, es que cualquier mujer oscura o recóndita sea por fuerza genial, como se pretende ahora. Las decepciones pueden ser y son mayúsculas, tanto como las de los espectadores al asomarse a la enésima “obra maestra” del cine patrio. También la gente bienintencionada se cansa de que le tomen el pelo, y acaba por desertar y recelar. Hoy, con ocasión de su centenario, sufrimos una campaña orquestada según la cual

Gloria Fuertes era una grandísima poeta

a la que debemos tomar muy en serio. Quizá yo sea el equivocado (a lo largo de mi ya larga vida), pero francamente, me resulta imposible suscribir tal mandato. Es más, es la clase de mandato que indefectiblemente me lleva a desconfiar de las reivindicaciones y redescubrimientos feministas de hoy, que acabarán por hacerle más daño que beneficio al arte hecho por mujeres. Lean, por caridad, a las que he enumerado antes: con ellas, yo creo, no hay temor a la decepción.

[katatty]

This was such an unplanned moment! I wasn't even taking many pictures since I didn't think too much would be happening during Antonio's actual round, I thought it'd just be a quick wedding then some OFB type gameplay. Whoops!

I think it makes sense that Florence would get cold feet, tohugh. I'm not sure I'd want to marry into this family either...

[katatty]

Oh yeah, and Shelly continues to be the cutest part of this household. Emily's smitten!

[katatty]

That's all from the Gorey-Lees! I'm a little on the fence about them as a couple, haha. I get the vibe they might be the time to fall head over heels, commit way to fast, then have a messy breakup later. Then again they're pretty compatible on paper, have great chemistry, and have similar life goals. So maybe they'll surprise me!

(I never know with this uberhood - the strongest couples aren't always the sims I expect.)

[katatty]

The party ends a little awkwardly, with Chloe and Emily sharing a drunken kiss in the kitchen. No big deal though, right? They didn't have a bachelorette party with strippers or anyhting so this is like a slightly-late bachelorette freebie.

It's not like it meant anything. Like Emily would fall madly in love with somebody over one little kiss? Please. That'd be craaaaaazy.

[katatty]

Emily: What are you two doing loitering in the hallway? C'mon, we're playing drinking games.

Jane: We, um-

Martin: Sorry. Be right there.

Allegra: Look at you! You look really pretty tonight, Jane. I'm not even mad you stole my colour scheme.

Jane: Thanks! I didn't know you were doing black-and-white.

Allegra: Yeah, I couldn't decide whether to go for traditional or mega-goth, so...

Tybalt: Uh, sorry, can I just get through to the bathroom?

[katatty]

Their romance had been a bit of a whirlwind - Allegra never thought she'd be the type to marry someone after dating less than a year - but here they were. When you know, you know, right?

[katatty]

Emily: You look nervous! Not getting cold feet, I hope?

Allegra: It's funny, I've dreamed about getting married since I was little, but...

Emily: Now you're feeling like a wedding is too "normie"?

Allegra: Don't be silly. It's just that it's going to be in front of so many people! You know I don't really like being in the spotlight.

Emily: Well, it won't just be you, it'll be the both of us. And I'm with you all the way.
