• After 112 Years, The Oregon College Of Arts And Crafts Is To Close And Be Sold. But Why?

  13-02-2019 23:31 via feedproxy.google.com

Go to a public school and see how few wood shops are left. The loss of the Museum of Contemporary Craft was a major hit.

• Russia Is Cutting Itself Off From The Rest Of The Internet (Temporarily). But Is This Prelude To Something Bigger?

  13-02-2019 22:02 via feedproxy.google.com
  Ostensibly the goal of the legislation is to protect the Russian internet from the US, which has an offensive cybersecurity strategy and lists Russia as one of the major sources of hacking attacks. However, many observers think the creation of a Russian intranet is a further step towards a goal of duplicating the Great Firewall of China to restrict the access of the country’s internet users to content deemed harmful by the authorities. – The Guardian

• Why Was Zhang Yimou’s Latest Film Pulled From The Berlin Film Festival?

  13-02-2019 21:03 via feedproxy.google.com
  “The phrase ‘technical reasons’ is both a euphemism and a reality for Chinese filmmakers, none of whom can ever be said to have completed their movie until regulators sign off on every detail. … In the case of One Second, it is possible that the subject matter, rooted in Mao Zedong’s 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, was the problem.” – Variety

  “Art and public practices play a significant role in reproducing and reconstructing racial, gender, and class difference in a way that is positive. Art is so powerful when it operates outside the state and its dominating power, forming a power of its own. When we talk of meaningful art, it is an art that meets people in their communities and opens democratic spaces that allow experimentation and imagination.” – McGill Tribune
