Remembering Pauline Oliveros And Her Radical Vision Of Listening
Considered as a healing practice—or a “tuning of mind and body”—Oliveros’s “Sonic Meditations” are, to an extent, unique in the history of musical experimentalism. In these works, experiments were not conducted on the music; the music was an experiment on the self. Anyone searching today for the complete box set of “Sonic Meditations” won’t find it, because, as the composer wrote, “music is a welcome by-product” of this comp -
Indian right-wing groups target Jaipur Art Summit over semi-nude painting
Members of two right-wing groups in India stormed the Jaipur Art Summit, a five-day-long festival in Jaipur City, Rajasthan on Thursday 8 December, in protest over a work on display that depicts semi-nude women. The artist of the work, the London-based painter Radha Binod Sharma, was injured and intimidated in the attack, according to a volunteer at the summit who spoke to The Indian Express.
The attackers are said to be involved with Rashtriya Hindu Ekta Manch, whose leader Pandit Vijay Shanka -
Color? What's That? Neuroscience Is On The Case
"Colors are something we experience, individually and collectively. But without our experience of color, science would have no reason to suspect its existence. There would just be fifty shades, or more likely fifty thousand shades, of electromagnetic waves. That is why even a Nobel Prize-winning biologist like Gerald Edelman tells us that reality is actually colorless; because he takes reality to be what science tells us it is, not what he experiences as an individual." -
Tragic Oakland Fire Spotlights Artist Housing Problem

But any decision to condemn residences whe -
Teaching Critical Thinking Skills? Well, Maybe It's A Waste Of Time?
"Since the early 1980s schools have become ever more captivated by the idea that students must learn a set of generalised thinking skills to flourish in the contemporary world – and especially in the contemporary job market. Variously called ‘21st-century learning skills’ or ‘critical thinking’, the aim is to equip students with a set of general problem-solving approaches that can be applied to any given domain; these are lauded by business leaders as an essential s -

Claim: Small Presses Are Doing The Heavy Lifting In the Publishing Business
"Are big publishers unwilling to take risks any more? Increasingly, 'risky' authors, those who’ve been rejected over and over again by traditional publishers or dozens of agents, are being picked up by small presses whose modus operandi is to take risks on literature that is exciting, innovative, or that they deem important either stylistically or politically. Then the big publishers swoop in and profit from the hard work and risk-taking of the small presses." -

War memorials have failed – we have forgotten the chaos of fascism | Jonathan Jones
