Raven Schlossberg
Collage, Drawing, Painting, Photography, Sculpture, Video	• Born in Paradise, CA, USA	• Studied at SFAI, San Francisco, CA, USA, Parsons / New School For Social Research, New York, NY, USA
Published 08/08/2016	| Updated 19/07/2020
"SOCIAL THEORY, CULTURAL FICTION AND UBIQUITOUS DESIRE."
"In the final scene of Zabriskie Point, Antonioni's 1970 homage to American hippies, a Frank Lloyd Wright-style, upper-middle-class home explodes to the soundtrack of Pink Floyd's 'Heart Beat, Pig Meat'. A sequence of jump-cuts, with the house erupting and objects within it flying forward, is repeated four times. First, the house becomes an inferno, then, in the next series of frames,
a roast chicken is thrust from its plate, a...
a roast chicken is thrust from its plate, a television set is propelled forward, and other banal objects that dominate and define America's cultural values are reduced to shrapnel. After the initial shock subsides, the intense beauty of the images overrides their violence.
Raven Schlossberg's collages are similarly explosive. But while Antonioni was mainly concerned with congratulating the hippies on their quest for a combustible future, Schlossberg is trying to navigate her way constructively through the recent past's cultural rubble.
Schlossberg's collages are constructed from layers of vintage media images, kinetically charged drawings in ink, graffiti-like trails of enamel or acrylic paint. Ranging in size from laptop to human-scale, the collages appear as details from cultural archives. Crafted with exquisite compulsion, they are clotted with social theory, cultural fiction and ubiquitous desire. As entire images, the collages are tactile and literary, embodying the semiotic distinction between sign and signifier but also seductive visual pleasure. Her imagery and musically pulsating colours maintain this pleasure even while she stimulates a cool critique of her references."
Ana Finel Honigman, Contemporary Magazine
Raven Schlossberg's work envisions a Technicolor, psychedelic dystopia where the trappings of glamour thinly veil society's seedy underbelly. Compressing implied narratives into storyboarded picture planes, the artist stages a surreal, sexual wilderness. Interacting between planes ripped open through trompe l'oeil effects, characters enter and leave each picture through windows or "tears", implying further action behind and between the scenes. Her source materials are as diverse as the characters, with images culled from sexploitation and horror films, pulp crime and adventure magazines, comics, 1980s graphics and punk magazines, posters and fanzines. Reimagined through manipulation, alteration and redrawing, these images are distilled into unified worlds populated by an interchangeable troupe of performers who move seamlessly between works. The illusion of neon light, an effect she has achieved using a complex process of dyeing, painting and printing onto fabric, adds to the radiant, kaleidoscopic mood. Light is also literally employed in assemblages constructed from distressed and deconstructed musical instruments and vintage exit signs, illuminating Schlossberg's deep ties to the underground music scene.
Raven Schlossberg has exhibited her collage paintings internationally for over twenty years, including solo exhibitions in cities such as New York, Dallas, Berlin, Frankfurt, Bonn, Konstanz, Brussels, Basel and Paris. In addition to a solo exhibition at Museum Morsbroich in Leverkusen, Germany, her work has been featured in exhibitions at the Haus am Lützowplatz, Norton Museum of Art, Tampa Museum of Art, Daum Museum of Contemporary Art, Katonah Museum of Art, and The Hunterdon Art Museum. Schlossberg's work has been the subject of radio interviews as well as articles, interviews and reviews in publications including Art in America, ARTnews, Flash Art, New York Magazine, Beaux Arts and The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

What is it about your studio space that inspires you?
I've been working in this Brooklyn studio for about 15 years. The storefront space has a very rich history, having been at certain times early last century a bar frequented by longshoremen and gangsters, a "social" club as well as a bordello, so the walls and floorboards are steeped in history, encouraging me to daydream and invent stories of what might have been.
What advice has had the biggest impact on your career?
I once had a professor who, during a group painting critique asked a student who showed up without any work to present, "why did you do that?" The student replied that he couldn't afford to buy paint. The professor calmly asked the student if he had a stereo. When he replied "yes", the professor told him to "sell your stereo and buy paint... art is sacrifice". This simple yet profound idea has left a lasting impression on me and has made me work even harder.
If you could install your art absolutely anywhere, where would that be?
Besides MoMA?
If you weren´t an artist, what would you be doing?
Playing guitar.
What are your favourite places besides your studio?
Junkyards, old motels and dive bars.

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is warning of a looming worldwide political threat. In her new book, "Fascism: A Warning," she argues contemporary world leaders are turning to the same tactics used by fascists like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini nearly a century ago. "We should be awake to the assault on democratic values that has gathered strength in many countries abroad and that is dividing America at home," she writes.
Albright pointed to politics in countries like Hungary, Turkey, the Philippines, Poland and Venezuela.
"I think what we're doing is kind of normalizing some of this and thinking this is just a step, and what is really happening is that there are leaders that are reacting to something that is happening within societies. People are not happy. That's for sure," Albright said Tuesday on "CBS This Morning. "Some as a result of technology, and they've lost their jobs. Some as a result of immigrants coming into their countries. And these leaders are grabbing power by identifying themselves with one group, and then – with fear. And then also kind of excluding the individual rights of other people and being above the law and undermining democratic institutions."
She also addresses President Trump in her book, writing: "If we think of fascism as a wound from the past that had almost healed, putting Trump in the White House was like ripping off the bandage and picking at the scab."
"I think Trump is the most undemocratic president I have ever seen in American history. And so that's what worries me. But I do think that we all need to pay attention, which is why I'm – this is a warning. That's what the book is about," Albright said. But she made it clear that she was not calling Mr. Trump a fascist.
"I'm saying that there's certain elements of the kinds of behavior that he has that reminds me of a variety of issues that have taken place," she said.
Among them, she said: attacking the press, "which is central to having a democracy"; acting "as though he's above the law"; not respecting the rights of others; and providing "a lot of simplistic answers to questions."
As for Mr. Trump's response to the FBI raiding the offices of his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, and calling it an "attack on our country," Albright said: "I find that ridiculous."
"We can't have a leader that feels that he is above the law. The law and the rule of law is the most essential part of a democratic system," she said.
During her career in public service, Albright met with controversial political figures, including former North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il, father to current leader Kim Jong Un. She said the stakes in the possible denuclearization talks between the Trump administration and North Korea are "very high."
"I'm actually glad that there is some desire to have diplomatic talks. But I did go there. It took an awful lot of preparation. You don't just kind of show up. We have been trying to figure out a variety of things to do about North Korea. The former secretary of defense, Bill Perry, did a complete review, all kind of things. So what worries me is the lack of preparation and a lack of understanding of the terms," Albright said.
In regards to alleged chemical attacks by the Syrian government on its own people, Albright said "it's a war crime."
"What is needed is a strategy. We can't just do one-off bombing. I do think we need -- I personally believe that there should be some military response to what just happened. But it needs to be within an overall strategy that does, I think, require a change. Assad is killing his own people," she said, adding "there's no question" Russia is complicit.

Gov. Northam's Emergency Declaration explained
AUGUSTA COUNTY, Va. (WHSV) - Virginia Governor Ralph Northam put an emergency declaration into place Monday, Jan. 10, which is meant to help hospitals during this surge of COVID-19.
"The healthcare delivery system does not have limitless resources," said Julian Walker, Virginia Hospital and Health Care Association's Vice President of Communications.
The emergency declaration expands patient capacity, staffing and the availability of telehealth appointments.
"Obviously bed space is a concern, but perhaps even a more immediate concern is about staffing," Walker said.
Patient capacity can't be expanded if there's no staff, so the emergency order intends to address those concerns. This order removes some requirements for healthcare workers.
"Individuals who are licensed in good standing as health care providers or clinical workers in other states have the ability to practice across state lines, practice in Virginia to treat patients," Walker said.
Hospitals will be able to increase patient capacity, too. The process to increase capacity would normally include a licensure process, which can sometimes draw the process out. Now, those restrictions will be more lax.
"As part of this order, that licensure process, that formal process, is essentially temporarily relaxed to make it easier to bring more 'licensed' hospital beds into the system to increase treatment capacity," said Walker.
Models suggest this surge hasn't peaked yet, and experts say it might not peak until later this month.
"Our hospitals may continue to face these surge conditions for a matter of days if not weeks now," Walker said.
Augusta Health said its ICU and respiratory care unites remain at or near capacity, and that this executive order provides some flexibility in staffing requirements and bed counts.
"Augusta Health is working on plans to implement the actions ordered to increase our inpatient bed capacity and availability and to provide for increased staffing in key outpatient areas such as our monoclonal antibody clinic," officials said in an email.
Sentara Health officials say they're appreciative of the order.
"This 30 day emergency order allows for more bed capacity and additional staffing support among other things. Any and all support is welcome as hospitals are now caring for more COVID-19 patients than ever before," they said in an email.
The Commonwealth of Virginia currently has 3,845 people hospitalized with COVID-19, which is a one-day record for the state.

Oyebowale Babatunde Akindeinde, popularly known as Oyeakd was born in the 80's in Lagos to a lovely family of 6 [parents inclusive] as the last child and third son of the family. Although his parents are from Ogun State, Oye was born in Lagos and also had his childhood in Lagos – Surulere to be precise where he had his nursery and primary education at Sunnyfield Schools, then later attended Federal Government College, Odogbolu for his secondary education. He studied in Odogbolu for a year and then transferred to Lagos State Model College where he completed his secondary education.
He got into the University of Lagos to study Computer Science, and after graduation, he got posted to Abia State for his youth service. From Abia state, he redeployed back to Lagos state and attended an ISP to enhance his web development knowledge, which he put into use by becoming a web developer for Comet Newspaper – updating and posting contents on their website.
In 2001, Oye went to the UK for his Masters' Degree and while in the UK, he tried his hands on music as a rapper seeing that he severally got applauded on for his rapping skills back in secondary school but he had to stop to focus on his primary assignment there. Done with his studies, Oye moved back to Nigeria in 2004 and joined the queue of graduates seeking jobs. Luckily for him, at a point where he was already getting frustrated by the situation, Oye got invited to UAC Foods and got hired for the role of a Manager making him the youngest to achieve such feat albeit it was a new position which had a lot of patience attached to it. One of his proud achievements during his stay at UAC Foods was a roofing project he did and seeing it still in use brings smiles to his face.
After working for four years with UAC, Oye moved to FCMB where he worked for two years and also successfully oversaw some projects including the PIN and Chip Project, MasterCard amongst others.
All along, Oye had always [and is still] being a music bluff and when MI Abaga came into the industry with his Talk About It album in 2009, Oye deemed it fit and wrote a review on it which received many applauds from his friends.
While at FCMB, one of his friends – Noble Igwe reached out to him to assist in developing a website which was meant to be an entertainment platform. On near completion of the website, Noble wanted Oye to come on board as a music editor for the website but during one of their many meets, Noble invited a mutual friend in the person of Anthonia Soares [presently the editor of Complete Fashion Magazine] and during the discussion, the idea of three of them becoming directors sprung up and was immediately adopted.
Still working at the bank, Oye's workaholic energy arose; he was working 9-5 for the bank and the rest of the day for the website. With their combined efforts, they managed the website so well that its traffic began to increase on a monthly basis. Five years on, the website – www.360nobs.com has grown to become one of the hundred most visited sites in Nigeria with its traffic hitting over 6 million views monthly.
Oye took off from FCMB and focused on 360nobs as a fulltime job for nine months then SPINLET came calling. Before Oye took up the offer, he had a meeting with the founder who did let him in on about the vision of Spinlet. Sharing the same digital vision, Oye joined Spinlet and is currently Head, Business Development Unit; a position that interestingly doesn't clash with his commitments at 360nobs. One way he ensures that, is doubling the efforts into his duties at Spinlet.
Oye's big picture doesn't end with all this as he has a few upcoming projects which should affect quite a large number of individual's lifestyle in Nigeria. In his words "I tell people life is one step at a time, Keep up with your competitors and always have a plan.
Happily married, Oye is a proud father of beautiful Oluwadara and she is one of the few factors that make him work harder.


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-520 is to be stored in an inanimate-item locker at Site-19. The object's handle is to remain perpendicular to its base and be secured at all times with a sturdy clamp made of insulating material. The lower contacts must be covered at all times with wooden blocks shaped to prevent any contact with the handle.
Persons handling the device should wear insulating gloves. Air inside the item's locker is to be heavily dehumidified, and the object should be checked regularly for corrosion.
Description: SCP-520 is a large antique quadruple knife switch made primarily of wood, ceramic, and copper. Its design is largely unremarkable, except that it lacks soldered input and output contacts: it does not appear designed to be attached to a circuit. The handle's bearings and contacts operate smoothly and freely, requiring minimal force to flip the switch between the positions clearly labeled "ON" and "OFF".
When the handle is moved between positions, SCP-520 [DATA EXPUNGED] to splice itself, briefly and at random, into the primary power supply circuit of an electrical device somewhere on Earth. Moving the handle from the ON to the OFF position breaks the power circuit, while moving it from OFF to ON completes the circuit, regardless of any other open switches or other current interrupters. Interruption or completion of the circuit is permanent, even after SCP-520 is no longer appended to the device: wires are physically broken, fuses bypassed, and switches shorted out. The surface of metal connections formed or broken by SCP-520 frequently bears signs of extreme oxidation, often to a chemically implausible extent.

Questions About Trump Rally
By Gregory Clay - Dec 04, 2016, 8:06 AM CST
Weekly losses for the most of the major equity indexes suggest that an aggressive post-election rally might be running out of steam. Other than a minuscule gain by the Dow, the other equity indexes snapped three-week winning streaks. For the week, the S&P 500 Index shed 1.0% and the Blue Chip-heavy Dow Jones Industrial gained only.01%. The Nasdaq was the biggest loser down 2.7% while the small cap Russell 2000 sank 2.45%. All four of the major indices remain within throwing distance of all-time highs, but upward momentum is dissipating.
The chart below identifies one of the biggest warning signs against the stock market continuing higher in the near term. You can see that the Nasdaq stocks are lagging the other major equity indexes. This can be considered non confirmation of the current trend, especially considering tech stocks have been leading the market higher all year. In particular the FANG stocks (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, and Google) have sold off lately. Tech stocks usually set the overall market direction, if this is still true the market is due for pullback unless the Nasdaq recovers.
As evidenced in the chart below, an unintended consequence of Trump's victory has been the surge in the U.S. dollar. Some market pundits believe that deficit spending under a Trump administration could drop the dollar lower, but when factoring in potential protectionist trade policies and the overall global deflationary environment, you could easily argue that the recent dollar move has the potential for a much bigger upside. The very sharp rise in real market-driven interest rates is the clear driver of the dollar at present. Also shown in the chart are gold and treasury bond prices falling after the dollar began its ascent. Higher interest rates and a stronger dollar are both are negative for precious metals and bond prices. Barring some unforeseen crisis, next year it is easy to see gold delivering a complete reversal of the rally we saw in the first half of 2016.
All of the major equity indices have hit record highs following the presidential election, but now the market is due for a consolidation to absorb overbought conditions. Further upside gains will probably be limited ahead of the December 14th FOMC announcement with a 100% expectation of a hike, that should be a non-event. As reported by Ryan Vlastelica in a recent MarketWatch article, largely been obscured in the aftermath of Trump's underdog victory, which sparked the equity rally, a win by the Republican candidate had been widely seen as negative for markets. The President-elect was viewed as a wild card, lacking a track record in government and offering few or contradictory policy details. His temperament suggest a question mark more than a steady hand. "While the U.S. macroeconomic cycle may get a boost from the proposed fiscal stimulus, corporate tax reform and de-regulation, both the passage and efficacy of these measures are far from certain at this moment," J.P. Morgan wrote in a Nov. 30 note. "We think that, fundamentally, risks for equities in 2017 are higher compared to 2016. We expect an increased level of geopolitical risk and increased uncertainties related to the new U.S. administration." "This fearless stock market looks to be underestimating the possibility of President Trump rattling risk markets during his four-year term," wrote John Blank, chief equity strategist at Zacks Equity Research. "He remains unpredictable." The updated graph below displays third-quarter performance for the major asset classes. The biggest underperformers are asset classes that are expected to suffer from higher interest rates.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is known as the market's "fear gauge" because it tracks the expected volatility priced into short-term S&P 500 Index options. When stocks stumble, the uptick in volatility and the demand for index put options tends to drive up the price of options premiums and sends the VIX higher. As confirmed in the updated chart below, the volatility index bounced higher off support last week as the S&P 500 stalled out. Investors may be getting a little antsy ahead of the upcoming Fed meeting.
The American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) Sentiment Survey measures the percentage of individual investors who are bullish, bearish, and neutral on the stock market for the next six months; individuals are polled from the ranks of the AAII membership on a weekly basis. Bullish sentiment, expectations that stock prices will rise over the next six months, fell by 6.1 percentage points to 43.8%. The pullback follows last week's reading of 49.9%, which was the highest level recorded by our survey since January 1, 2015 (51.7%). Even with this week's drop, bullish sentiment remains above its historical average of 38.5% for a fourth consecutive week. Neutral sentiment, expectations that stock prices will stay essentially unchanged over the next six months, rebounded by 3.1 percentage points to 31.1%. The increase puts neutral sentiment about even with its historical average of 31.0%. Bearish sentiment, expectations that stock prices will fall over the next six months, rose 3.0 percentage points to 25.1%. Pessimism was last lower on August 17, 2016. The increase is not large enough to prevent pessimism from remaining below its historical average of 30.5% for a fourth consecutive week. This week's results follow a significant shift in sentiment. During the three-week period of November 2 through November 23, 2016, optimism rose by a cumulative 26.3 percentage points, neutral sentiment fell by a cumulative 14.0 percentage points and pessimism fell by a cumulative 12.2 percentage points. The rise in bullish sentiment was the 13th largest three-week increase in the survey's 29-year history.
The National Association of Active Investment Managers (NAAIM) Exposure Index represents the average exposure to US Equity markets reported by NAAIM members. The blue bars depict a two-week moving average of the NAAIM managers' responses. As the name indicates, the NAAIM Exposure Index provides insight into the actual adjustments active risk managers have made to client accounts over the past two weeks. The current survey result is for the week ending 11/30/2016. Third-quarter NAAIM exposure index averaged 80.32%. Last week the NAAIM exposure index was 86.56%, and the current week's exposure is 98.02%. Our recent comments are playing out as advertised where we said "...The NAAIM Exposure Index will probably trend higher leading up to the December FMOC meeting...The Trump rally continues unabated as investors rotate money out of bonds and other defensive sectors into shares of companies that are expected to benefit under a Trump administration..." Most probably, how investors interpret comments from the December 14th FOMC meeting will influence whether the NAAIM Exposure Index remains at elevated levels.
As reported in the most recent American Association of Individual Investor survey (AAII), support for the concept of the post-election ("Trump") rally borrowing gains from 2017 is indicated in the most recent survey. Optimism was both unusually low (a bullish sign) and unusually high (a bearish sign) in recent weeks. Though seemingly contradictory, the two signals may not be when the post-election rally is taken into account. The election's outcome remains front and center for many AAII members. Some are encouraged by possible changes President-elect Donald Trump could make, while others are uncertain or want to wait to see how his administration's policies and their impact on the market evolve. There are also individual investors who are pessimistic following the election. Beyond the election, the direction of interest rates, the pace of economic and earnings growth, and valuations are influencing individual investors' expectations for the stock market. Recent analysis is still valid where we stated "...The past few weeks investors having been selling off bonds, gold, utilities and other defensive sectors. As evidenced in the updated chart below, investors are rolling into financial, industrials and other sectors expected to benefit from Republican control of the presidency and both houses of Congress. Also, historically, November begins the best consecutive six-months for the stock market. There is still plenty of cash sitting on the sidelines and any price pullback should be considered a buying opportunity for stocks on your watch list..."

National Executives Denounce CDP Coalition
December 11, 2017 By Joseph S. Margai
CDP's Youth Leader Ibrahim S. Sesay (left) and Organising Secretary Julius Donnie (right)
As the country prepares for the March 7, 2018 multitier elections, national executives of the Citizens Democratic Party (CDP) have denounced the inclusion of the party into a coalition by their chairman and leader.
Four national executive members of CDP have threatened to take court action against their chairman and leader, Gibril Thullah, for including the party in a coalition with four political parties.
Premier News published on its front page on Monday, 4th December that, "Four Political Parties to Form Coalition", quoting Gibril Thullah, Chairman and Leader of CDP, who also doubles as the Public Relations Officer of the Citizens Democratic Coalition. Mr. Thullah was also quoted to have said that his party had merged with three others to form the Citizens Democratic Coalition.
But CDP's National Organising Secretary, Julius Donnie, has denounced the decision of their chairman and leader and secretary-general to join forces with three other political parties as illegal, adding that they were against the decision. Donnie also threatened to stop both men from entering the party's offices on Black Hall Road, Kissy, in Freetown, if they insist on joining the said coalition.
"We have already written a letter to the Political Parties Registration Commission (PPRC) in order to register our concern. We have informed the Commission that the chairman and secretary-general did not follow due democratic process as agreed on the 26th October, 2017 Executive Council Meeting in Bo District, Southern Sierra Leone," said Donnie.
Also, CDP's National Youth Leader, Ibrahim S. Sesay, said they should be busy canvassing support in preparation for the general elections in 2018 instead of fighting to form a coalition.
"We would have accepted the decision of the two national executives if they would have followed due process. But they wanted to show that they are the only people in the party, which is very wrong. We have always been in the party's office in Freetown while all of them were busy doing something else. We will never allow them to mislead us because we have a vision and a mission, which is to win the 2018 election," he said.

Saturday Sparkler: The Luxembourg Vine Leaves Tiara
Today, the grand ducal family of Luxembourg will gather for the christening of their newest member: Princess Amalia of Nassau, the daughter of Prince Felix and Princess Claire. What better day, then, to have a look at the lovely diamond tiara that Princess Claire wore on her wedding day last year? When Claire Lademacher married Prince Félix, she got her first crack at the family's vast collection of tiaras, and the one she chose was today's sparkler: the larger of the family's two floral tiaras.
Princess Claire of Luxembourg
As the lovely ladies over at Luxarazzi have observed, this tiara is "floral" largely because it includes natural elements and not because it specifically includes flowers in the design; we learned during Felix and Claire's wedding festivities that the family refers to the piece as the "vine leaves" tiara. The all-diamond sparkler, set in yellow gold and silver, includes leaf and berry motifs.
Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg
The tiara was made in the second half of the nineteenth century, but the palace has never confirmed by or for whom it was created. It's possible, given its stated creation date, that it entered the collection around the same time as the Marie-Adélaïde tiara, which also features diamond leaves and berries in its design.
It's also possible, however, that the tiara was acquired by the family at a later date, perhaps during the reign of Grand Duchess Charlotte, the grandmother of the current grand duke. The statement released by the royal court noted that Charlotte never wore the tiara herself, although other family members wore it during her tenure as grand duchess. Her daughter-in-law, Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte, apparently only wore the tiara once. The current grand duchess, however, has worn the tiara on a number of occasions.
Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, and Grand Duke Henri
Like the smaller floral tiara, this one has been worn at a number of Nassau family weddings. The information released by the royal court also mentioned that it was worn by all four of the daughters of Grand Duchess Charlotte at their weddings: Princess Alix in 1950, Princess Marie Gabrielle in 1951, Princess Elisabeth in 1956, and Princess Marie-Adélaïde in 1958. (You can see photos of all the brides wearing the tiara at Luxarazzi.)
Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie of Luxembourg
The tiara also made a significant appearance during the 2012 wedding of the hereditary grand ducal couple; Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie chose to wear the tiara at the gala held the night before her religious wedding ceremony. It was the first tiara from the Luxembourg collection that she wore.
Claire followed in her sister-in-law's footsteps, choosing this sparkler for her own royal wedding in September 2013. Given Felix and Claire's current occupation — managing a vineyard in the south of France — a tiara with vine designs was an especially appropriate choice!
