Richard Bennett Invites Me To A Panel On Tuesday March 2
Harold February 25, 2010 - 7:01 am February 24, 2013 General, Tales of the Sausage Factory freedom foundation, internet access, network neutrality, reed, richard bennett
Back in October, Richard Bennett wrote a paper on why he thought network neutrality was particularly inappropriate — indeed, dangerous to the future evolution of — mobile internet access. On Tuesday March 2, his employer, The Information Technology & Innovation Foundation will be hosting an event to discuss the paper, mobile internet access and policy. He's asked me to join Barbara Esbin from Progress and Freedom Foundation and Morgan Reed from the Association for Competitive Technology on a panel to discuss the issues. Should be fun.

Stay tuned . . . .
A Brief Response To Richard Bennett's New Paper

I salute Richard Bennett's new paper Designed for Change, in which he traces the engineering history of the end-to-end principle. It is a serious paper and deserving of serious response. Unfortunately, it being right before Yom Kippur and various deadlines, that more serious response will need to come from elsewhere. I can give only a brief, surface response — reality is messy.
OK, too brief. A bit more elaboration. Richard Bennett is eminently qualified to write the technical history and draw engineering conclusions. As are a large number of other folks who take very different views on the issue of net neutrality and the virtues of end-to-end (Vint Cerf, David Reed and kc claffy to name a few folk of my acquaintance). The history described by Richard is layered onto an equally rich history of political and economic events which all interweave, and continue to interweave, to create a complex and messy reality in which public policy tries (in my opinion) to set rules to create the strongest likelihood of the best possible outcome.

BitTorrent Employs Self-Help After CRTC Ruling. Net Neutrality Folks Called It Right So Far.
Harold December 1, 2008 - 2:56 pm February 26, 2013 Series of Tubes, Tales of the Sausage Factory bell canada, comcast, critical infrastructure, net neutrality, network operators, richard bennett
Well that certainly didn't take long.
Richard Bennett has an article at The Register describing BitTorrent, Inc.'s new method for circumventing traffic throttling. Essentially (if I understand it), BitTorrent has altered the way in which its uTorrent P2P application will work. Instead of relying on the Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) uTorrent will now use the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to move packets. Richard describes what this means and the potential impact of this better than I can. Critically, however, Richard describes this as a means by which BitTorrent can avoid Bell Canada's targeted traffic management by disguising the nature of its traffic as latency-intolerant (like voice over IP (VOIP))and therefore given priority over other traffic. You can see some discussion of this as a response to the CRTC decision to allow Bell Canada to manage traffic here at DSL Reports.
As I observed only last week, the CRTC decision presents a splendid opportunity to grab some popcorn and watch some other country play games with its critical infrastructure. Mind, since the internet is a global "network of networks," what happens in Canada is likely to impact me here in the U.S. as well. But I can't do anything about that. So pardon me whilst I munch my popcorn and enjoy a good dose of Cassandrafruede (a term of my own invention which means "the bitter pleasure experienced when something awful you predicted that could have been avoided if people had listened to you comes to pass, even though you also get screwed through no fault of your own").
More analysis to go with my popcorn below . . . .
Apparently, I Am Even Less Influential Than I Thought . . . .
Harold November 24, 2008 - 3:30 pm February 26, 2013 General, Tales of the Sausage Factory net neutrality, richard bennett, tip of the hat
Or so says Paul Kapustka with his list of "Top Ten Net Neutrality Influencers", on which I do not rank even an honorable mention.
Tip of the hat, however, to friend-of-the-blog and occasional sparring partner Richard Bennett included in the honorable mention slot.
On the plus side, no one will care if I take Wednesday and Friday off.
Comcast and BitTorrent, or "Honestly Charlie Brown, The Market Dictates I Let You Kick The Football THIS Time."
Harold March 31, 2008 - 11:59 pm March 31, 2008 Series of Tubes, Tales of the Sausage Factory day job, independent isps, industry folks, kevin martin, open access, richard bennett
[First, a rather important point to Richard Bennett and anyone who may be confused. This blog is my own. It is not a "Media Access" blog, and it does not represent MAP policy. I very deliberately do not show this stuff to anyone at MAP for prior approval before I write it. This is me personally sounding off. Got it? This is in addition to my day job. (Although my wrath at this mischaracterization is tempered by his describing this blog as "popular.")]
There must be something in the air that has turned Comcast from a fighter to a lover. Apparently, Comcast and BitTorrent have kissed and made up, Brian Roberts has stood barefoot in the snow beneath Kevin Martin's window at Canossa, and all is now supposed to be well in the world. Nothing to see here, move along, these aren't the droids we're looking for, and once again the magic of the market solves everything.
I would have written earlier, but I was having a flashback to when AOL Time Warner committed to creating an interoperable instant messenger. Then I was flashing on when AT&T Broadband and Earthlink "solved" the original open access problem by negotiating a contract and thus proving that "the market" would guarantee that independent ISPs would be able to resell cable modem service just like they were reselling DSL. Then I woke up vomiting. I always have a bad reaction to whatever folks smoke to conclude "the free market solves everything" especially when (a) this was the result of a regulatory two-by-four applied directly to Comcast's scalp, repeatedly; and (b) nothing actually happened except for a real and sincere comitment to yack about stuff — at least until the regulators go away. Still, like Lucy and Charlie Brown, there are some folks for whom this just never gets old.
So while I'm glad to see Comcast forced to play the penitent, confess wrongdoing, and appear to give a full surrender, and while I generally like the idea of industry folks and ISPs getting together to actually do positive stuff on internet architecture issues, I think wild celebrations from the anti-regulators and the expectation that we can declare "Mission Accomplished" and go home is a shade premature. Indeed, the only people who believe this announcement actually solves anything are — by and large — those who didn't believe there was a problem in the first place. I believe the technical term for such folks is "useful idiots."
My further thoughts below….
A Clarification From George Ou and Richard Bennett.
Harold March 13, 2008 - 2:15 am March 13, 2008 Series of Tubes, Tales of the Sausage Factory email, net neutrality, richard bennett, usf
During the VonTV Debate, I stated that I was "sensitive to the arguments of George Ou and Richard Bennett that mandatory disclosure might allow people to circumvent network management tools, but I believe we can strike a balance." I received an email from George Ou stating that he believed I misrepresented his and Bennett's position.
Certianly it was not my intention to misstate anyone's position. I therefore asked both George Ou and Richard Bennett to provide me with a statement of their position to reprint on my blog. They are reproduced below in their entirety.

Atlanta Hawks Trade Rumors
Report: Hawks could "get in the mix" for Bradley Beal if he requests trade from Wizards

Share All sharing options for: Report: Hawks could "get in the mix" for Bradley Beal if he requests trade from Wizards

Monday morning, Fred Katz, who covers the Washington Wizards for The Athletic, reported that if Wizards star guard Bradley Beal were to ask for a trade ahead of this week's NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks would be among teams that could get "in the mix". Katz also lists the Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors as other teams that could be in on the sweepstakes if Beal were to come available.
Beal is coming off another standout season as a scorer in which he averaged a career high 31.3 points per game. Beal is a career 38% shooter from three-point range, and averages 29.7 points and 5.3 assists per game over the past three seasons. The 28-year-old has a player option to become a free agent after the 2021-22 season, so any club trading significant assets for him will likely want Beal to sign an extension upon being traded.
Beal won't be eligible for a full max extension (three years plus a player option at the end) until six months after being traded, but he could sign on for an additional year as soon as he's moved. Both Beal and the team trading for him would seemingly prefer to wait six months for him to sign the full max, though obviously both sides are risking something when choosing to wait.
Katz provided some optimism that Beal may not request a trade from Washington in the piece as well, however, stating that the Wizards remain set on keeping him unless he requests a trade, which he has yet to do.
The rumor mill is officially turning, and with the amount of young talent on the Hawks roster, expect to keep hearing them brought up in potential deals this offseason.

Alien life could be turning harsh planets into paradises — and astronomers want to find them
Once life gains even the tiniest foothold on a planet, it may have the power to transform that world, forcing us to broaden our definition of "habitable," new research suggests.
We don't really know where life might arise. We have only one example of a life-hosting planet, Earth, which started to get interesting perhaps only a few hundred million years after it formed. We know that life on Earth requires a certain set of elements to perform its complex chain of energy production, that it needs liquid water as a solution, and that it can exist only in a relatively narrow range of atmospheric temperatures and pressures.
In our searches for life outside Earth, astronomers generally focus on an area called the habitable zone, a band of orbits around a star where liquid water can potentially exist on a planet's surface. If a planet is closer to the star, water will evaporate from the heat; if it's farther from the star, water will freeze into ice. Neither of those conditions are good for life as we know it.
But the habitable zone is only a rough guide, not a guarantee. Both Mars and Venus sit within the habitable zone of our sun, and those planets are not inhabited. On the other hand, the new research, published to the preprint server arXiv.org, suggests that our current definition of the habitable zone may be too narrow because it doesn't include how life influences a world.
A changing world
An artist's rendition of the early Earth environment, just before life emerged. Can you say, "paradise"? (Image credit: Lucy Entwisle)
Earth would be completely different if it weren't for life. The classic example is the abundant quantities of oxygen in our planet's atmosphere. Oxygen is a very common element throughout the cosmos, and Earth was born with a lot of it. But most of that oxygen is bound up in the form of silicon dioxide — rocks. Gaseous oxygen can't survive in the atmosphere long, because ultraviolet radiation from the sun breaks it apart.
But the process of photosynthesis releases oxygen gas as a byproduct. In fact, early life produced so much oxygen that it almost poisoned itself in an incident known as the Great Oxidation Event. It took the evolution of oxygen-breathing creatures to put the ecosystem back in balance.
Either way, it would be incredibly difficult for Earth to maintain this much atmospheric oxygen if it weren't for the constant efforts of life.
This line of thinking can be extended to many other properties of Earth's atmosphere. Living creatures also emit large quantities of methane, a greenhouse gas that helps keep our planet warm. Vast forest canopies change the amount of sunlight reflected from the surface, also affecting the temperature of our world. Even the production of various gas byproducts from creatures large and small is capable of altering the air pressure of our planet's atmosphere.
The Gaian habitable zone
One way to look at all these changes is that once life gets started on a planet, it really doesn't want to go away. And so it goes about (unthinkingly, of course) altering the basic chemistry and physics of the planet to create a more suitable environment. This life-altered planet then becomes much more habitable than it was before.
This is certainly true of Earth. The earliest possible signs of life in the fossil record indicate that life may have arisen when our planet was still partially molten. It must have been a highly unfriendly place, but billions of years later, it's pretty great (unless we keep ruining everything with human-caused climate change).
The authors of the new paper imagined a world at the very edge of the habitable zone, either almost too cold or almost too hot. But if life managed to begin there, that life would have a chance of improving the planet's makeup, perhaps by raising or lowering the atmospheric pressure or temperature, or by creating niches underground where life could thrive.
Therefore, we must rethink the traditional definition of the habitable zone. The researchers propose a new one: the Gaian habitable zone (from Gaia, the Greek mythological personification of the Earth) . This zone would be wider than what we currently consider suitable for life, because life itself is capable of changing the boundaries of the suitable.
The researchers argue that we should employ these broader definitions of the habitable zone in selecting future targets for exploration. If the habitable zone is too narrow, we may miss signs of life, simply because we're looking in the wrong place. No matter what, when searching for extraterrestrial life, we must keep an open mind and be prepared for surprises. Life … finds a way.

How to find more joy in your life … and make it last
Calah Alexander | Oct 29, 2018
The best moments in life are fleeting, but there's a way to capture them and let them light up our lives.
Here in Dallas-Fort Worth, it's been unseasonably rainy. More than unseasonably, really — it's been raining almost constantly since mid-September. I will be the first to admit that I'm no pluviophile — rain makes me sleepy, lazy, hungry, and cranky.
This? Not me. I need sunshine in the same way introverts need silence — it rejuvenates and invigorates me, and makes me happier than anything else, so these weeks of rain have really been getting me down.
But last Tuesday, the sun came out. Not for long — for just a few brief, fleeting minutes the sun broke through the clouds and cast an unfamiliar brilliance across the world. Luckily I was outside at the time and able to stop everything, raise my face to the sun, and just bask. I relished every second of sunlight while it lasted, and when the sun disappeared behind the clouds again I felt happier and more hopeful than I had in weeks. In fact, that one moment buoyed my spirits during the several days of rain that followed.
Yesterday I read an article on mindfulness at Becoming Minimalist that echoed my own experience, and it made me realize that the way we choose to experience life has a greater impact on our happiness than anything else. The writer speaks about how we can take powerful fleeting moments and actually make them last:
It was almost as if I bottled up that moment, tucking it into my back pocket, available to access at any moment. That is the magic of mindfulness. It asks that we bring all our attention and all our awareness to the present moment. We engage our five senses in a heightened way, capturing details we might otherwise miss. Mindfulness allows us to bottle up a moment, making its magic last long after the moment has ended.
That moment two years ago changed my life. It set me on a path towards minimalism in a way I never expected. That moment was so magical, and it didn't involve an ounce of stuff. No thing or possession made that moment possible or better or richer. And in a moment of quiet honesty, I realized that my connection to stuff probably kept me from having those moments more often.
It's amazing how powerful a few minutes of sunlight — something I took for granted all summer, and really for most of my life — became for me when I hadn't experienced it in many days. It made me newly aware of how many small moments I take for granted … moments that don't require buying things or going places.
Bedtime stories, for example. Bedtime stories used to be a ritual for us, followed by prayers. That routine was a fact of life, like the period at the end of our day. But as the kids got older and life got busier, bedtime stories began to fall by the wayside. When I started working, I wasn't home for bedtimes at all two nights a week, which took even more of a toll on our sacred little ritual. Over the past six months, bedtime stories disappeared entirely, becoming a thing of the past. Like alligators and golf carts, they belonged to our Florida life.
But last week, Lincoln brought a book home from the library: I Want My Hat Back. It was a book we owned in Florida that got lost in the move, but it was one we read often. The kids loved it because I did funny voices for all the animals, and they would fall over in squeals of delight when the bear finally realized who had his hat.
Lincoln pulled it out of his backpack after school and said, "Mommy, see the book I got? Can you read it to us at bedtime like you used to?" His earnest question almost broke my heart, and all at once I realized how much I missed our bedtime story ritual. It really had been a sacred time for us, one that I let slip away because life became too busy.
But it didn't. Not really. Life is never too busy for one bedtime story … especially when those bedtime stories are really a precious time to connect with my kids. Just as life is never too busy to turn your face up the sun when it makes a brief appearance, or to give a child one last hug before school. Those are the moments that define our life, and choosing to cherish them can make the difference between a life full of stress and a life full of joy.

A couple of choice things said while he fires her include "Maybe if Magneto is beating up hippies at Burning Man, I�ll give you a call." and "You realize I'm trying to put together a team of superheros, not coordinate the finale of Nine Inch nails at Lolapalooza, right?" and "Maybe if Mr. Sinister is robbing a bank while tripping on MDMA maybe you could distract him." Have a watch.


Basil has been called "the Witches Herb" for centuries. Basil has been used for exorcism, protection, in "flying ointments", and love potions. "Where Basil grows, no evil goes!" and "Where Basil is, no evil lives," goes the old adages. Basil, given as a gift, will bring good luck to a new home. Sprinkled around the house, it wards off evil. Soak it in water for three days and sprinkle the water at your doorstep to bring money and success, drive away evil, and have a happy family. add this to the water for scrubbing and cleansing the floors and walls. AFTER moving in, and regularly dried Basil should be sprinkled on the kitchen floor and swept out the door. If possible a basil plant should be planted near the home (or inside in a pot) to bring protection and good fortune to everyone who lives inside. If you have a job interview coming up, you can sprinkle this outside of the building where you hope to be employed (careful though if someone sees you it won't help your job prospects very much!).
To increase love in the home, use it in cooking or keep some in an open bowl in the kitchen and replace it each week. Mixed in a bath with love herbs (such as red clover, rose buds, catnip, gentian, damania, lavendar, cubebs, and juniper berries ), it increases affection in the family. Basil also protects from evil. Mix with rosemary and rue for a cleansing and protective bath. Pour the water into your bathwater, and rest in the water for 20 minutes allowing the essence of the herb to coat you to provide protection from negative energy.
Imbolc is the traditional time of year for initiations and the initiate should have been taking daily tonics of basil for at least the last two weeks. It is given now to prepare the innerself for initiation to bring fortitude. In situations where you feel you will need protection, steep a teaspoon of fresh basil in one cup of boiling water. Let the basil steep for 5-10 minutes, than strain the herbs from the water.
Basil oil rubbed on a green candle before burning will attract wealth. The incense smoke is beneficial for the same, as well as for banishing, exorcising and protection.
Oil of basil helps fight colds, coughs, cramps, fever, anxiety, and much more. Basil is a stimulating and antidepressant oil which relieve can mental fatigue, clear the mind, and improve concentration. It is an expectorant and antiseptic, used for all types of chest infections. It's also good for congested sinuses, chronic colds, head colds and whooping cough. The antispasmodic and carminative properties of basil help to relieve abdominal pains, indigestion, and vomiting. It works well on tired muscles, especially in massage oil used after hard physical work or strenuous exercise, it also eases arthritis and gout. It is reputed to be one of the best nerve tonics among all essential oils. Forget the Prozac, Basil can be used for the relief of depression – but over use will cause depression. Avoid if pregnant. Good for respiration conditions, such as Asthma and Bronchitis. As it has an effect upon Adrenal Cortex it can be effective with allergies. Sweet Basil is great for aiding concentration and sharpening the senses.
Basil has been known and grown since ancient times. Back in the first century AD, the Greek physician Dioscorides believed basil dulled the sight and produced "wind." According to Gerard in his Herbal published in England in the 1600s, the smell of basil was "good for the heart and for the head." Gerard also advised that the juice of the plant was good against headaches, if it were drunk with wine, and was useful in clearing up diseases of the eye. In Italy, a pot of basil on your balcony means you are ready to receive suitors. In India, the herb is dedicated to Vishnu and is given to the dead to help ensure their entrance to the afterlife. Prostitutes used to wear it in Spain to attract business. believed to have derived its name form the Basilisk, the fabulous dragon-like creature that was deadly to anyone who looked at it. This may have spawned the old belief that Basil begot scorpions. Some claimed it bred scorpions and that scorpions would be found beneath a pot where basil grew—a belief that arose, perhaps, from the prevalence of scorpions in some of the tropical regions of Asia and Africa, where basil originated, and their predilection for warm, dark places. Gerard wrote that those who were stung by a scorpion would feel no pain if they had eaten basil. Culpepper, a contemporary of Gerard, suggested in his Herbal that basil would draw out the poison of venomous beasts, wasps or hornets. Basil made its way to Europe by the Middle Ages and to England and America in the mid-17th century, where it was used mainly medicinally. It was not until the 19th century that basil became the ever-present component of herb gardens that it is today. Basil is also very important in Asia and Asian cuisines. The range of basils available is the result of the variability of the species, basilicum. The species contains a natural diversity of fragrances and colors; plant breeders have selected for and improved on these different traits.

Sow seeds in the garden when the soil has warmed up to about 55 to 60 degrees day and night temperatures. Sow the seeds about 1/2 inch deep in good garden soil; if you cover the seeds with less soil, they may float to the surface after a heavy rain. Basil germinates readily, therefore you do not need to sow thickly. You can sow the seeds in rows or in groups; drop two to three seeds in each hole for the latter. Keep the seedbed moist until germination occurs. When the seedlings have at least two pairs of true leaves and are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin them to stand 10 to 30 inches apart, depending on the species or cultivar. Begin pinching out the growing tips for compact growth when the seedlings are 3 to 4 inches tall. To have an uninterrupted supply of fresh basil, most gardeners sow basil seed several times during the growing season. The National Garden Bureau recommends sowing basil seed every 3 to 4 weeks to harvest fresh leaves for culinary uses.
Basil is as ornamental as it is edible. Put it in a traditional herb garden, in the vegetable plot in the center of a bed of red- and green-leaf lettuces or edging a bed of tomatoes. Use both the green- and purple-leaved varieties in borders; the latter are especially beautiful with perennials such as coral bells (Heuchera `Palace Purple'), Sedum `Vera Jameson', fountain grass (Pennisetum), dusty miller, and blue Salvia farinacea. Both combine well with annuals, such as dwarf or medium-height snapdragons, nicotiana, French marigolds, and petunias.
With its natural round shape, the dwarf basil `Spicy Globe' makes a wonderful edging for any type of garden: perennial, rose, or herb. Try the old-fashioned technique of keeping flies away by planting basils around a patio or in containers on a deck.
as they deplete the plants' energy resulting in fewer leaves. The leaves have the best flavor—the most essential oils—when they are harvested before the plants flower. Cut whole stems rather than individual leaves, especially if you want to use the leaves as a garnish because they bruise easily. Cutting whole stems is a tasty way of creating a bushy, compact plant: Cut just above a pair of lower leaves; the plant will produce new shoots at that point.
provides easy access for harvesting! The container should have drainage holes in the bottom or sides. Fill it with a soilless mix, which is more lightweight than garden soil and is also free of diseases and weed seeds. It is easy to provide nutrients all season by incorporating a controlled-release fertilizer in the mix before planting. With mixed plantings, place most basils near the center of containers or at the ends of window boxes. Use dwarf basils to edge a container planting or on their own in smaller, 8-inch pots, and place the pots around a larger planter, marching up steps, or along a walk. Basils combine well with other herbs and with annuals.
far tastier than the dried variety. Basil complements many kinds of dishes and combines well with other herbs, whether used fresh or dried. The flavor and appearance of the leaves are best fresh. Many gardeners are unable to eat their fresh, homegrown tomatoes without fresh basil and a dash of premium olive oil. Freshly harvested basil leaves added to mesclun or lettuce salads liven up the flavors. Pesto is another favorite use for basil. Create the classic pesto sauce, a combination of basil, garlic, olive oil, pine nuts, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
tablespoons of dried, crushed basil or 2-6 tablespoons of fresh, minced basil. Place in a covered container or roll into a cylinder-shape and refrigerate for at least an hour before using.
It is easy to bring container-grown plants inside, but you can also pot up a few plants from the garden. Cut them back rather severely—to about 3-4 inches tall—so they will put out new growth when they become acclimated to the indoor environment. Grow them on the sunniest windowsill you have, preferably with a southern exposure, or put them in a light-garden. Keep the soil evenly moist and fertilize them once a month.
of the outdoor growing season. Pot the seedlings into individual 4- to 6-inch containers and enjoy fresh basil all winter harvested from your windowsill.

My new solo exhibition Affirmative Action is now showing at Kuiper Projects, Brisbane. Taking as a starting point the provocation that 'small acts of resistance can create change', this body of work draws specifically on protest language from feminist social history archives. Affirmative Action comprises drawings and fabric works focused on the intersections of language, gender politics and abstraction. The large-scale fabric work references the labour of handmade protest quilts or oversized, ungainly banners as well as the limp excesses of abstract painting. In the drawings, textual elements are overlaid with colour to create optical patterning – embedding the typographical within the pictorial.
New Collaborative Curatorial Project
Curated by Rachael Haynes & Simone Hine
Boxcopy Contemporary Art Space, Brisbane
14 – 28 July 2018
www.boxcopy.org
This exhibition emerged out of conversations about Australian feminist performative artworks and embraces conversation as a curatorial method. Each curator suggested an artwork, that the other responded to with another artwork. A printed conversation accompanies the exhibition and documents this exchange.
The conversation ranges from questions of how to define feminism today and how it operates as a political or personal framework, to exploring intersectional identities and representation, examining the body in relation to humor, and performance in relation to history and re-enactment. Converse is an exhibition as dialogue and considers the ever shifting and unravelling nature of contemporary feminist art practice. The artists featured in the exhibition are Nina Ross, Mandy Quadrio, Hannah Raisin, Archie Barry and Barbara Cleveland.

Curatorial Project celebrating ten years at Boxcopy!
PRESENTISM
Curated by Rachael Haynes & Chris Handran
Presentism looks back at ten years of Boxcopy's history, through the lens of current practices of Brisbane-based artists who have participated in the program over that time. The title of the exhibition describes a tendency to interpret past events in terms of modern values and concepts. While often used negatively to critique particular accounts of history, in this case looking at the past through practices of the present testifies to the qualities of resilience and endurance that serve to sustain the practices of individual artists and the communities in which they operate.

LEVEL has embarked on five-way co-authorship in this new article, reflecting on our ongoing project We need to talk, a series of public workshops and feminist picnics. As part of this series, Recipe for a Revolution was a public event held at the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), Brisbane in 2014, where participants devised a collective 'recipe' by gathering, conversing and sharing food at a mass picnic. By bringing significant recipes and plates of food to the picnic rug, the participants connected through personal narratives. The project discussed what role food plays in women's lives, whether the kitchen is a playground or the battleground that Miriam Schapiro described forty years ago, and how we can use the idea of the 'recipe' – a shared set of ingredients and methods – to open up possibilities for activism and advocate for change.

Double-blind: supervising women as creative practice-led researchers
Educational Philosophy and Theory, Vol. 47 (12), 2015
Many women creative practice-led researchers appear inhibited by a number of factors directly connected to their gender. This article discusses these factors, including the culture of visual arts professional practice, the circumstances surrounding women postgraduate students, and unproductive self-theories about intelligence and creativity. A number of feminist strategies are discussed as potential interventions that may assist women creative practice-led researchers and their supervisors to reap more personal and professional rewards from their postgraduate research.
Presenting at New Materialisms Conference, Melbourne
Object Relations, transformational encounters in the studio archive
Transversal Practices: Matter, Ecology and Relationality: Conference on New Materialisms
Victorian College for the Arts, VIC
Object Relations is a lecture performance drawing together an archive of images that document material engagements in the studio by women artists. At play in these images is the relational nature between the subject and the materiality of the object, gendered implications of the body, and interventions within these codes through self-representation in the context of the historically male dominated domain of the studio. Taking on the challenge set by Griselda Pollock in her conception of the Virtual Feminist Museum (VFM), this archive is arranged by a 'feminist rather than phallocentric logic' and emphasizes a subjective and affective engagement with these images. This paper offers a feminist perspective on the archival impulse and utilises the strategy of 'Re-vision' to open up new critical directions for feminisms own histories and archives.

In 1938 the Australian artist Thea Proctor claimed that 'it is well known that the majority of women art students have a good sense of colour' and conjectured that male-dominated art gallery boards might suffer from the absence of this gendered 'colour sense'. Quaternary explores this enduring aesthetic relationship by surveying women graduates of QUT Visual Arts whose works utilise the affective power of colour in compelling ways. Quaternary is the second iteration of QUT's triennial exhibition series – every three years a select group of artists are invited to participate in this distinctive exhibition.
LEVEL We need to listen
1- 5pm Saturday 9th March 2015
Since 2013, LEVEL has presented an annual International Women's Day forum for robust discussions on art and feminism, seeking ways to create change through dialogue and activism. In 2015, WE NEED TO LISTEN will consider the power of voice, our need to acknowledge a multiplicity of feminist voices, and the act of listening in the pursuit of equality. This forum will look at how artists, curators, and writers provide platforms for voice and encourage a willingness to listen to voices other than our own. Join us for a panel discussion chaired by Susan Best, with speakers Ruth McDougall, Leah King Smith, Tyza Stewart and Carol McGregor. The forum's keynote speaker will be Arahmaiani, a significant figure in Indonesian contemporary art. Her work across performance, painting, sculpture, video, sound and installation has established her international reputation as an artist who challenges oppression and intolerance.

This new installation work QUICKDRAW incorporates fabric works and a lecture performance video to pursue a subjective engagement with specific feminist histories. QUICKDRAW examines the relationship between abstraction, feminism and painting, following through an iconoclastic impulse that is at play in these histories.

Performing, lecturing, exhibiting: the archival impulse and the feminist lecture performance
GEOcritical – Art Association of Australia and New Zealand (AAANZ) Conference
University of Tasmania, Launceston
This practitioner reflection will discuss feminist research methodologies as utilised within visual arts practice through the lecture performance. This is a hybrid creative format, which intervenes in pedagogical methods and forms of knowledge transmission. It explores language and performativity in relation to feminist art histories and facilitates the construction of a counter archive – one that re-interprets the significance of feminist practices, past and present, and emphasises the subjective and affective register of this interpretation. The lecture performance becomes a text score that can be re-performed in the context of each exhibition. This paper will discuss the creative potential of this mode to embrace an embodied form of knowledge making and to (re)perform feminist art epistemologies.

THIS IS NOT THE WORK – feminist collectives, collaboration and curating
Presented by Level
Curating Feminism – Contemporary Art and Feminism (CAF) Symposium
Sydney College of the Arts, Sydney
LEVEL will be presenting a co-authored paper, reflecting on our recent exhibition project THIS IS NOT THE WORK, as part in the upcoming symposium Curating Feminism.
New International Exhibition Project, The Block QUT
For the exhibition, THIS IS NOT THE WORK, LEVEL continues their investigation of alternative curatorial methods. Surveying a selection of community-engaged artist projects from different locations around the world, this exhibition has followed the pathways of women-centred social networks in order to initiate further collaboration and conversation. The projects documented in this exhibition are examples of artists working with women and community in challenging and unpredictable ways, demonstrating feminist strategies and a commitment to non-hierarchical and collective structures. As in the past, LEVEL uses the gallery as a conceptual base-camp or frontline rather than just a site of display.

Rachael Haynes' art practice explores the limits of language and subjectivity, and re-examines art history and philosophy in relation to gender politics. Through drawing installations and performative video works, the practice performs a playful mixing of language codes and systems – drawn from art criticism, abstraction, conceptual art and philosophical traditions – and enacts a gendered 'redrawing' of these texts. These works engage with pictorial, literary and vernacular quotations, in an attempt to replay and reveal the complexities of gender politics, representation and language.

The exhibition material matters brings together new works by Brisbane-based artists whose experimental practices engage with materiality in specific ways. The artists in the exhibition investigate the temporal in terms of making and experiencing art in various modes – installation, sculpture, video, sound and works on paper. Through these material engagements, the artists question and re-imagine ways of connecting in the contemporary world, drawing together considerations of humour, history, politics, nature and everyday life.
Public Participatory Artwork at GOMA, Brisbane
We need to talk (Recipe for A Revolution)
A project by LEVEL
GOMA, Brisbane
Picnic on the Maiwar Green | Sunday 29 June 2014
Since 2012 Brisbane feminist art collective LEVEL has been hosting picnics as a way of bringing women and their friends together for a collaborative meal and political discussion. This participatory artwork, We Need To Talk celebrates the political and the personal through the sharing of food and ideas. Past picnics have focused on the difficulties that women experience in their work and personal lives, their experiences of gender, and how we can work together for a fairer world.
LEVEL will be holding another picnic as part of the upcoming 'Harvest' exhibition opening weekend. This picnic's theme is food and revolution and you're invited to join in. Bring along your favourite recipe (and a plate of food if you can), and join the conversation on the feminist picnic rug as we ask what role food plays in women's lives, whether the kitchen is a playground or a battleground, and how we can use the idea of the 'recipe' – a shared set of ingredients and methods – as a way forward to a better world. Together we will develop a recipe for a revolution.
New Curatorial Project for International Women's Day
Catherine or Kate | Agatha Gothe-Snape | Alex Martinis Roe | Hannah Raisin | Scott Ferguson | Courtney Coombs & Caitlin Franzmann
Opening on International Women's Day, 'Conversation Pieces' presents works by Australian artists Agatha Gothe-Snape, Alex Martinis Roe and Hannah Raisin and collaborative works by Catherine or Kate, Scott Ferguson (Erika Scott & Brooke Ferguson) and Courtney Coombs & Caitlin Franzmann. These works are generated by physical, verbal or textual dialogues between collaborators, participants or the artist and audience; and spark a conversation about feminist art practice today.
