Supplemental readings:
Por las próximas cinco semanas presentaré un proyecto semanal de gestión/producción cultural iniciado por un artista o colectivo. En los días asignados habrá documentación disponible para estudiar y comunicación vía Skype con los fundadores de dichos proyectos. Me interesa que observemos y discutamos sobre las formas de producción, exhibición y distribución propuestas en estos proyectos como alternativas a las típicamente asociadas a las principales instituciones y el mercado del arte. La intención es generar una discusión abierta e informal entre artistas y cualquiera interesado en los proyectos sobre la relevancia que pueden tener actualmente estas formas emergentes a nivel local.
Semiotext(e)’s Intervention Series offers polemical texts by intellectual agitators. Short, engaged, and highly focused manifestos, essays, and critiques, these palm-sized salvos address a variety of political and cultural topics but share a passion for provocation, and allow for more immediate excursions in Semiotext(e)’s ongoing mission of intellectual activism.
in this class we will read and discuss all six books in the intervention series. we will meet and discuss the books one at a time and in the order of their release (the coming insurrection, the screwball asses, the violence of financial capitalism, introduction to civil war, a thousand machines, the agony of power).

I found this undated photo in the LA Public Library Photo Collection. On the right of Angels Flight, you can see a sign that reads "Vegetarian Cafeteria".

This class is envisioned as a discussion reading group which focuses on reading texts by Gilles Deleuze (as the starting point), meeting together as a group every two to three weeks in order to discuss a chosen text. The aim will be to share variable interpretations of the given text, to consider each others viewpoints, and to also look at how the text may relate to each participants individual life philosophy, research, and interests.
This reading group is envisioned to be an ongoing seminar which can evolve according to participants collective interests, predominately it is aimed to be a supportive space to engage with critical ideas, and to foster variable understandings of the texts which will be discussed.
Perhaps this was very precisely what being an emigrant meant: to see a sword where the sculptor, in all good faith, had thought he was putting a torch....
For me it is the very place of exile, that is the place of the absence of place, the place of dispersal. In this sense, it concerns me, it fascinates me, it involves me, it questions me, as if the search for my own identity went via the appropriation of this depository where harassed functionaries baptized Americans by the boatload, as if it were inscribed somewhere in a life-story that might have been mine, formed part of a probable autobiography, a potential memory. What is to be found there is certainly not roots or traces, but the opposite: something without shape, at the limits of the sayable, that I might call a closing-off, a scission, or a break, and which for me is very intimately and confusedly linked to the actual fact of being a Jew.
Good news for all bread, pizza, and oven enthusiasts!
The cob oven-building workshop will take place during the first week of August, divided into two phases: the design/ planning phase, and the actual building phase. In between, we will organize and retrieve the materials needed together.
The design phase will be a relaxed meeting at the Hub in the city centre on Wednesday, 4th of August, at 5 pm. Feel free to bring any info ma...terial, photos or stories on oven building with you! We will most probably be joined by some professional oven builders who will share their knowledge, all other information can be retrieved from the Internet. You can bring your own laptop if at hand, otherwise, there are some computers at the Hub we may use. We plan to get all building materials for free, e.g. sand and bricks from construction sites, and clay from nature in the Helsinki area.
