Forget The FlâNeur, Conor Mcgarrigle

Articles

This paper discusses the connections between the ‘flâneur’, Baudelaire's symbol of modernity, the anonymous man on the streets of nineteenth century Paris, and his contemporary digital incarnation, the ‘cyberflâneur’. It is argued that, although the flâ- neur could be successfully re-imagined as the cyberflâneur in the early days of the web, this nine- teenth century model of male privilege no longer fits the purpose. It is suggested that it is time to forget the flâneur and search for a new model to consider the peripatetic nature of location-aware networked devices in the digitally augmented city.

CGU MFA Theses

Through my art, I offer viewers environments that function in a manner similar to public parks. People visit parks not to talk about the park and its elements, but to have their own time and space to interact with themselves and/or others. Although each of my offerings is distinct, all are united by the way they function: to create the possibility of human interaction. Even when I am not present, the spaces I have created are interactive performances. After visitors leave, my art again becomes incomplete, and an invitation for other viewers. The whole process encompasses the production of the …

'A Century Of Transformations' Exhibit Design, Anne Giangiulio

Selected Works Temporary Series

I designed this bilingual exhibit for the Centennial Museum located on the campus of The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to commemorate the University's Centennial in 2014. 'A Century of Transformations' follows the Texas School of Mines and Metallurgy, which opened as a mining school in 1914, and evolved into the University of Texas at El Paso, a nationally recognized research university. Featuring over 40 text panels in English and Spanish, as well as video slideshows and an interactive sticky note feedback wall, the exhibit highlights the University’s rich history and traditions. It also features significant milestones, distinguished …

Chalk The Block 2013 Poster, Anne Giangiulio

Selected Works Temporary Series

I designed this poster for the annual Chalk the Block event which took place October 11–October 13, 2013 in downtown El Paso. For the pop-up gallery component of the event, I organized a group of 6 students from my 'Graphic Design 4: Typography' class at The University of Texas at El Paso. Their posters were judged and selected to be on sale in a downtown space, previously a vacant restaurant, which had been converted into a gallery for the three-day weekend event. All proceeds from the sale of the posters went directly to the students.

San Patricios T-Shirts, Anne Giangiulio

Selected Works Temporary Series

This is a logo I designed for a local El Paso Irish band called The San Patricios. The signos de exclamacion (¡!) refer to El Paso's location on the U.S.–Mexico border. The three-leaf clover depicts the numbers 915, which is the telephone area code of El Paso. The triple spiral is another Celtic symbol referring to the origin of the band' music. The band first wore T-shirts sporting the logo at their annual Saint Patrick's Day event at Ardovino's Desert Crossing in Sunland Park, NM on March 17, 2013.

Rebecca & Adam's Wedding Invitations, Anne Giangiulio

Selected Works Temporary Series

I designed this wedding invitation for my good friends. It was inspired by a vintage Johnny Cash show poster that they both loved. The notched-cornered RSVP postcards are meant to resemble concert tickets, while still coordinating with the invitation. With matching lined envelopes and hand-calligraphy addresses, these hand silkscreened invitations helped complete the couple's music-themed wedding.

Wheatpaste Workshop / Large Typographic Panels Designed For Future Artspace El Paso Lofts Site, Anne Giangiulio

Selected Works Temporary Series

On March 1, 2013, I hosted a "Wheatpaste Workshop" for Department of Art students at The University of Texas at El Paso to learn the street art technique of wheat pasting. For the workshop, I designed a large-scale typographical graphic. The workshop wheat pasted the design over two, 4' x 8' plywood panels. These panels were then pieced side by side and installed upon the chain link fence on the 600 block of North Oregon Street in downtown El Paso, around the future site of Artspace El Paso Lofts. When completed in 2015, Artspace will blend 51 affordable live/work units …

Projection (Baton Charge 1913), Ronan Mccrea

Exhibitions

Projection (Baton Charge 1913) is based an single photograph made by Joseph Cashman (1881 – 1969) during the labour dispute known as the Dublin Lockout in 1913. Taken from a elevated point of view, Cashman’s image depicts members of the Dublin Metropolitan Police baton charge a large crowd attending a protest meeting to be addressed by trade union leader Jim Larkin on O’Connell Street on 31 August 1913. Larkin was arrested and two people were killed during the riots that followed. This photograph (along with second photograph by Cashman of Larkin addressing a crown with outstretched arms) dominates the iconography …

Augmented Resistance: The Possibilities For Ar And Data Driven Art, Conor Mcgarrigle

Articles

This article discusses the possibilities for Augmented Reality (AR) as a driver of data based art. The combination of AR and Open Data (in the broadest post-Wikileaks sense) is seen to provide a powerful tool-set for the artist/activist to augment specific sites with a critical, context-specific data layer. Such situated interventions offer powerful new methods for the political activation of sites which enhance and strengthen traditional non- virtual approaches and should be thought of as complementary to, rather than replacing, physical intervention.

I offer as a case study this author’s “NAMAland” project, a mobile artwork which uses Open Data and …

Bitter Milking Art Education? (Re)Orienting, (Re)Deeming, (Re)Claiming, (Re)Presenting M(Other)Work In Art Education, Anniina Suominen Guyas, Linda Hoeptner Poling, Kathleen Keys

Art, Design & Visual Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations

Reviewing the existing literature of women and/or mothers in academic roles paints a pretty grim picture. Even worse is the prediction for success that shies far from optimistic. Some inequities in higher education need to be considered: "women lag behind their male counterparts in tenure status, promotion to full professor, and salary. Overall, considering all full-time faculty at all types of institutions, women earn about 80 percent of what men earn" ("Inequities Persist", 2005, p. 1). The adherence to Family Medical Leave Act provisions or other familial and maternal related leave are inconsistent across academia and, even in their most …

Understanding Children's Art Making Preferences: Implications For Art Therapy, Amy Morrison

Expressive Therapies Dissertations

This study employed a phenomenological, qualitative approach to investigate children’s art making preferences. The researcher was curious about the meaning that creating two-dimensional and three-dimensional art forms held for children. Influences and contributions to children’s art making preferences were explored. Lastly the study questioned what children’s artistic preferences mean for the field of art therapy. Theories of art therapy, artistic development, and child development informed the study. Thirteen children ages 5 to 11, four boys and nine girls participated. The researcher requested the children choose a subject and create the subject in both two and three dimensions. A range of …

Paper Moon, Teresa Bramlette Reeves, Kirstie Tepper, Jessica Stephenson

Exhibition Publications

Paper Moon focused on work that, in one way or another, served as a substitute for the real thing. The emphasis of this exchange was not on artifice but rather on a sincere effort to imitate an ideal, the desire for which may be motivated by limited circumstances, need, adoration, and longing, rather than greed or irony. The show examined how these substitutes were intended to function, the nature of their appeal, and what role authenticity and our ability to “make believe” played in the proffered illusion.

The idea for this exhibition began with a documentary about teenage magicians and …

Review Of Michel & Nosch, Eds., Textile Terminologies In The Ancient Near East And Mediterranean From The Third To The First Millennia Bc., Carol Bier

Textile Research Works

Textile production comprised the major manufacturing industry of the ancient Near East and eastern Mediterranean, yet it has received relatively little scholarly attention. As garments and furnishings, textiles may provide warmth and utility, but they are also indicators of status, objects of trade and tribute, products of technology, and economic generators. The role of textiles is both pervasive and complex, yielding rich and specific vocabularies that do not easily transcend time and space for contemporary understanding. This brilliant volume offers a compilation of twenty-two papers that result from an exciting collaboration between the Danish National Research Foundation's Centre for Textile …
