Art exhibition

Analyze a specific contemporary art exhibition. Explore the context of the exhibition in relation to below learning outcomes, how to context of the exhbition affected the artists work.

Present evidence of a high level of independent, scholarly research.
Critically analyse a range of textual and non-textual sources concerning art exhibitions in a variety of contexts.
Articulate how exhibitions operate for contemporary art, clearly presenting responses that are imaginative, rigorous and nuanced.

“Major exhibitions or curated projects initiated in different places around the world have variously convened a shared present across distance through art. We will reflect on the implications for selected artworks at the moment of public engagement: how do these conjure with or disrupt the idea of international, cross-cultural, global, planetary – or another understanding of – contemporaneity?

On this course we will discuss the “extreme internationalism” of Conceptual art shows since the late 1960s, and the “global contemporary” framing of survey exhibitions – notably art biennials – since the late 1980s. We will consider the roles played by concepts such as national representation, multiculturalism and anti-imperial nationalism. We will analyse how numerous factors – for example: artist networks, curatorial agency, installation serendipity, national backing, educational experience and cultural identity – may affect visibility, especially when exhibiting “at large” rather than “at home” (however many places may be counted as “home”). Visibility afar, or critical engagement in a distant locality, will be prioritised above successful commercial access to new art markets, when thinking about exhibiting abroad.”

Community and Population: Advocacy Letter

  1. Choose a topic that interests you.
  2. If you are unsure what to advocate for or against, look at professional organizations for inspiration:
    1. APHA
    2. ANA
    3. Maryland Public Health Association
  3. Look for advocacy groups that are working on the issue. We don’t have to recreate the wheel.  See what strategies the advocacy groups are supporting. For example: Brady and Gifford non-profits focus on gun policy.
  4. Decide if you want to make change within an agency, at the local, state or federal level. Find the decision maker appropriate to that level. Click here to find your elected official.
  5. If you are writing to a legislator, look at that person’s website to see their position on the issue. Please do not ‘preach to the choir’—that is, if they already support the issue, it does no good to throw more facts at them.
  6. If you are addressing a national issue, and your legislator aligns with your proposed action, consider looking at the committee that would hear a bill about your issue.
    1. If there is a proposed bill that has not been active, you can ask the chair of the committee to bring it back up in committee.
    2. Click here to check for federal bills.
  7. If you are addressing a state issue, the Maryland General Assembly meets January- April of each year.
    1. You can see if state bill on your issue was unsuccessful in 2018, and ask your legislator to re-introduce it in 2019.
    2. Click here to check for state bills.
  8. For evidence to support your proposed action, use the One Search through HS/HSL for the broadest results. If you are still having trouble finding articles, the premier journal for public health research is called The Nation’s Health.
  9. Reminders from the rubric:
    1. Include your ‘Ask’ clearly and concisely in the first paragraph. In busy offices, staff may not read the entire letter.
    2. In the same vein, keep the letter one page. References can be on a second page.
    3. Include your credentials. All of you are BSN Candidates (and add whatever other credentials you have). This adds a professional weight to your voice.

As always, let me know of any questions.

Provide rigorous and systematic analysis of the topic or community, explaining relevant discursive communities in terms of their online infrastructure, their digital culture, their demographics and social patterns and hierarchies, their rules and patterns of behavior, subcommunities within the community, tensions and faultlines and patterns of disagreement, etc.

This paper is a semester-long research project on a topic in memetics; the finished paper will be between 15 and 25 pages in length, not including bibliography (about 4500-7500 words), will draw on at least ten scholarly sources (you may use Bradley Wiggins’ textbook and other course readings as no more than five of your sources), and will take one of three forms: primary research and documentation of the memetics of a discourse community, analysis of a meme developing and propagating across discourse communities, or discussion of a topic in memetics.

You will be expected to document your examples and case studies using permanent links. Remember to cite and explain the scholarship you use to analyze and explain the discourse community’s behavior and memetics.

You will draw upon existing scholarship to meaningfully analyze the topic or community

You will provide rigorous and systematic analysis of the topic or community, explaining relevant discursive communities in terms of their online infrastructure, their digital culture, their demographics and social patterns and hierarchies, their rules and patterns of behavior, subcommunities within the community, tensions and faultlines and patterns of disagreement, etc

You will explain how agents meme (the role memetics play in their discourse, patterns of meme use, specific memes and syntaxes common to the community, how their use of memes interacts with other discourses and memetic ecosystems, etcetera) and will explicitly analyze memes from the community or relating to the topic, contextualize them, break them down, and explicitly discuss their discursive role

You will advance a clear and meaningful thesis supported by an argument that draws on well-founded and explicit evidence

Your paper must be organized in a meaningful and logical way, providing background and relevant analytical tools, performing analysis, and coming to a conclusion.
