On Feb. 26, 2012, unarmed Black teen Trayvon Martin was murdered by a neighborhood vigilante. On July 17, 2014, the murder of unarmed Eric Garner by the New York City Police Department was videotaped, with his last words being "I can't breathe." Yet on Dec. 2, the grand jury decided to only indict the man who filmed the murder. On Nov. 24, Officer Darren Wilson was not charged with the fatal shooting of the unarmed Black teen, Michael Brown, back in August. On Nov. 22, 12-year-old Tamir Rice was murdered by Cleveland police for playing with a toy gun. The officer has yet to be charged.
It is no surprise that a country built on the genocide and enslavement of Black and Brown bodies does not indict white officers for the systematic lynching of Black men. Even though communities of color repeatedly experience violence from the white supremacist system, retaliation to state violence with violence is not accepted. To believe in the fallacy of nonviolence as an effective response is to make the horrifically incorrect assumption that the playing field is equal, and that we can simply negotiate our way through this injustice.
No matter how many times I wish it were true, the fact exists: Black lives do not matter in this white supremacist, capitalist society. The social role of the police is to maintain the status quo; contemporary "law enforcement" evolved from the institution of the capture, containment and policing of chattel slaves. Through the decades of work done by the Abolitionist and Civil Rights movements, the Black community has gained access to certain rights and privileges not previously afforded it, but the recognition of our humanity has only rearranged the type of systematic, barbaric violence we receive from our oppressors, the capitalist system of the United States.
Certain bodies are fundamentally ineligible for personhood, for personhood is not defined by our status as living beings but through our relationship to the racist West. The dominant narrative in our society perpetuates the anti-Black perception of young Black men as innately violent. The racist and inaccurate correlation between the color of his skin and the supposed threat perceived by white officers must be acknowledged if we want to begin to understand why our people are disproportionately murdered.
The country's increasingly militarized police force is conditioned to see Black men as criminals so as to justify the lynchings. Michael Brown was Black, therefore he was not white. Black bodies are sites of criminalization, for even unarmed, he was perceived as a threat. Even after his death, Brown was not given justice, for the system was never meant to include him.
Stop 'invisibilizing' Black women!
Amidst this sadness, it is crucial not to forget the violence experienced by Black women. As we have seen, dominant discourses often neglect the intersectionality of oppression, and both whites and men are guilty of reshaping the voice and presence of Black women, or ignoring our existence in its entirety. In this case, Black women do not fit the normative narrative of bodies impacted by police brutality, despite the many Black women who have died at the hands of the system.
The burden of Black liberation does not rest solely on the experiences of Black men, and should include the experiences of Black women. Yet, discussions of power are constructed to embody cisgender masculinity, leaving the violence inflicted on Black female bodies a peripheral concern. The dismissal, erasure and anecdotal nature of discussions of Black women are a systematic problem.
We witness the same brutal, perpetual, white supremacist violence and "invisibilizing" of our existence, yet lack of inclusion of Black women devalues our lives.
Let us remember:
Tarika Wilson, 26 (Ohio, 2008) — killed by police while holding her 1-year-old child.
Aiyana Jones, 7 (Michigan, 2010) — murdered by police while asleep in her home.
Miriam Carey, 34 (Washington, D.C., 2013) — unarmed and murdered by police.
Shereese Francis, 30 (New York, 2012) — suffocated by police holding her face down on a mattress. She suffered from schizophrenia.
Shantel Davis, 23 (New York, 2012) — unarmed yet shot in the chest by police. Her alleged last words were "I don't want to be killed, don't kill me!"
Sharmel Edwards, 49 (Nevada, 2012) — unarmed with her hands up, five police officers shot her with at least
15 bullets.
Rekia Boyd, 22 (Illinois, 2012) — shot and killed instantly by off-duty officer Dante Servin while hanging out with friends in a park.
Tyisha Miller, 22 (California, 1998) — hit with at least 12 bullets when officers opened fire 23 times.
Yvette Smith, 47 (Texas, 2014) — single mother shot by police. Though they claimed she had a weapon, nothing was found at the scene, and the officers were punished for altering their story to reflect this fact.
This list is by no means extensive, but it serves as a horrific reminder that we, Black women, are not immune to this violence.

1980, when the rather long-winded McKay Freight Transport Services (Fast Forward International's granddaddy) came into being with the purchase of this 1976 Mack F type tractor unit. Prior to our ownership it was used on UK- Middle East haulage which was brought to an abrupt conclusion when it collided with a sleeping camel.
Impounded for a year, until the camel owner was compensated, it was ultimately repatriated although the flora and fauna which moved in was still in evidence some years later – half way up the M6 one night, something the size of a golf ball flew out of the heating vent and ricochet'd around the cab before escaping into the Cheshire countryside through an open window. American trucks were much more common on European roads way back then, with reliability and levels of horsepower unheard of in home-brewed kit. White, Kenworth, Peterbilt and Mack all had UK sales outlets, and the hurdles to importation were set lower with EU type approval still a twinkle in the eurocrat's eye.

3/12/12: We arrived in Texas!
As of this afternoon, John and Tyler have bicycled 1172 miles. John and Kipp have walked 188 miles. Kipp is beginning to complain that he and John have not walked for a few days. The focus has been on getting in the bicycling while the weather is good – very warm – but clear with no rain!
We have been in Fort Stockton, Texas, since Friday, where the weather was very chilly until yesterday. The RV park where we are staying is well run, and the Mexican restaurant where we ate two nights ago served a very good meal. Most nights Kelly is our chef and, with Tyler's assistance, provides us with delicious dinner after delicious dinner. In the next post we will feature a number of the dinners that have made our palates happy!
Spring has arrived in Fort Stockton!
Glad some places are having spring. We woke up to 2 inches of snow in Washington today. Glad you enjoyed your stay here.
Best of Luck!!! Wishing you well!!!
All of us have enjoyed so much our stay in Hilltop RV Park. The facilities are up to date and clean, and the owners have been very welcoming to all of us. The trees are getting their new leaves, and the flowers are blooming! We are grateful to have found this very comfortable place to stay in Fort Stockton, Texas, where we can see the horizon and enjoy the sunrises and sunsets!


Speedster Kagiso Rabada led a clinical bowling display with a four-wicket haul as Delhi Capitals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 39 runs under dramatic conditions in their IPL match on Sunday.
Pacer Keemo Paul (3/17) ran through the Sunrisers top-order before his pace colleagues Rabada (4/22) and Chris Morris (3/22) triggered mayhem in the middle and lower order as the home side suffered a batting collapse after 15 overs, while chasing 157 for a win.
Morris took three wickets in the space of five balls in the 18th over as the stunned home crowd watched their side's batsmen capitulating without much fight as the innings folded at 116 in 18.5 overs.
David Warner, who top-scored with a 47-ball 51, was out in the 17th over off Rabada to trigger a procession of Sunrisers batsmen towards the dressing room.
Rabada and Morris took all these six wickets as Sunrisers surrenderd tamely.
Bhui's dismissal in the 16th over piled on further pressure on the Sunrisers. The asking rate climbed up to 13 an over at the end of 16th over and the home side wilted under pressure with Warner finally falling in the 17th over bowled by Rabada as the batsman hit straight to the hands of captain Shreyas Iyer.
Rabada got rid of Vijay Shankar (1) in the next delivery and with it the game was as good as over in favour of Delhi Capitals. It was then the turn Morris to take three wickets in the 18th over before Rabada ended the Sunrisers run chase with two wickets in consecutive deliveries.
Senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar returned with figures of 2/33 while leg-spinner Rashid Khan and Abhishek Sharma took a wicket apiece as the Sunrisers' bowlers made it difficult for Delhi batsmen to score runs.
For Delhi, captian Shreyas Iyer top-scored with a 40-ball 45 and his 56-run partnership with Pant for the fourth wicket took them a challenging total after a wobbly start. Colin Munro was the other notable contributor with a 24-ball 40.
Shreyas hit five fours before he was dismissed by Bhuvneshwar in the 16th over while Munro was more aggressive with four boundaries and three sixes in his 24-ball knock.
Delhi Capitals struggled with openers Dhawan and Shaw back into the dressing room by the fourth over with Ahmed accounting for both the key batsmen.
In his next over, Ahmed got rid of Dhawan who miscued a bounceer off the bowler with Bhuvneshwar Kumar taking the catch at fine leg.

The assassination caught the attention of the young Duke University undergraduate and made him curious about Romero's beliefs, which were so important to the prelate that he put his life at risk, and which were considered so dangerous by others that they killed him.
So Farmer started reading about liberation theology, a Roman Catholic movement that challenged the institutional structures of society that perpetuated the destitution in Latin America. Farmer said Tuesday that liberation theology provided the moral underpinning for his work with the global poor, including that of the international nonprofit he co-founded in the 1980s, Partners In Health.
Farmer, Harvard's Kolokotrones University Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine, said during a discussion at the First Church in Cambridge that those early readings provided him with important background for his work in Haiti in the 1980s, when he witnessed abject poverty and suffering and had to decide how to respond to it. In the end, instead of pulling away or trying to rationalize it, he decided he would not just be a "spectator to poverty."
That decision ultimately led to the founding of Partners In Health, which has saved thousands of lives and improved health in some of the poorest parts of the world.
Farmer described the impact liberation theology had on him during the session with David Carrasco, the Neil L. Rudenstine Professor of the Study of Latin America, and Divinity School student Lauren Taylor. The three discussed Farmer's latest book, "In the Company of the Poor," co-authored with the Rev. Gustavo Gutierrez, author of the 1971 book "A Theology of Liberation," which gave the movement its name. The event was sponsored by Harvard Divinity School's Science, Religion, and Culture Program.
Farmer spoke of "structural violence" in society, of deprivation and death with poverty and inequality as its root cause. He said Partners In Health has sought to counteract that by trying to understand the poor's point of view while designing programs. Instead of throwing up their hands at patients who fail to take medications and decrying them as lazy or ignorant, officials at Partners In Health instead ask patients why they don't take their prescriptions and works to lower costs, increase access, and remove other roadblocks.
"Instead of saying 'failure to adhere,' [we ask] them how we failed them, how we can remove the barriers to good health," Farmer said.
Farmer said that an important aspect of the organization's work is that it has always been conducted in tandem with local partners, leaders, and participants. He quoted a response by Gutierrez, who is now a professor at the University of Notre Dame, when he was asked what his final words to a class would be.
"He said that the first thing I'd teach them is that the first person is not 'I am,' it's 'You are,'" Farmer said, "and that's the answer to the question about staying power. It's 'We are.' That's why we're still there."
Being able to watch people's health improve helps as well. Infant mortality in Haiti is way down from the 1980s. Farmer said he recently visited a hospital the organization founded on the Central Plateau and saw 20 nurses and doctors treating 11 people who'd come in at once after an auto accident. Years earlier, he said, such cases would have been a nightmare for the smaller clinics the organization ran. Seeing the smooth operation of the staff at the year-old hospital was "like dying and going to heaven," Farmer said.
Similarly, he said, health has rapidly improved in Rwanda, where Partners In Health also works. Infant mortality has plunged, while life expectancy has doubled over the last 15 years.
"I'm proud of what we've done," Farmer said.

Reaching new heights in the hospitality and culinary industries
By Rachael Courtemanche, BA'16
Erin Dunham, (BA'06, English and Writing Studies), doesn't follow the status quo – instead, she creates her own path. Following her Arts & Humanities degree and Masters in Business Administration, Dunham started her Hamilton, Ontario-based hospitality group, The Other Bird, in 2010 with her business partner and Executive Chef Matt Kershaw, recent winner of Chopped Canada in 2016.
Together, Dunham and Kershaw build culinary experiences which pull patrons out of their comfort zones and into a world a flavour and decadence. They currently have five restaurants and one boutique hotel which have earned the pair local and national recognition, earning a reputation for offering unique fare and charming hospitality. From their meat-focused Rapscallion Rogue Eatery, to their playful taco bar The Mule, The Other Bird is now taking flight across southwestern Ontario.
Dunham was born into the culinary industry and always surrounded by people passionate about food – four out of six of her brothers are chefs! At 13 she got her first job as a dishwasher at a fine dining restaurant and thought she would follow down the same path as her brothers. However, she was quick to realize how demanding the industry could be, and went off to school to escape the food industry. With some of her brothers already living in London, Ontario, Western was a clear choice to begin her studies.
"I chose English because I am obsessed with language. English is one of the most difficult languages in the entire world and to be able to try to come close to describing it was the greatest challenge," Dunham laughed. "I find it fascinating."
Dunham studied at Western from 2002-2006, and she still reminisces to this day about her experience.
"I still - on a fall day - think about Western. The feeling of walking through campus and how there's generations and generations of buildings…I just loved the environment there," said Dunham.
After Western, Dunham moved back to Hamilton to complete her MBA at McMaster University, during which she met her business partner Matt Kershaw, who hired her to help him open his first restaurant, The Alex. They quickly realized they were going to partner and continue on this path, however at first it was a dilemma for Dunham, who had spent so much time and money at school trying to get out of the food industry.
"Ultimately, I realized that together we can change the industry and change the way people are treated in it, and all the things I hated about it," Dunham reasoned.
The duo started their first restaurant together, Rapscallion Rogue Eatery, in 2010, managing it under the name The Other Bird, which has grown to represent a group of restaurants in Hamilton and Burlington, Ontario, and their hotel, The Arlington, in Paris, Ontario. For Dunham, her English degree was a perfect fit for handling the marketing and CEO role at The Other Bird.
"An English degree can be used in every single field and sector across the planet. It's a huge benefit. In mastering a language mastered by none, it's a big asset," commented Dunham.
The desire to master something so complex like language worked its way into The Other Bird's business model, inspiring Dunham to open restaurants that otherwise didn't exist in Hamilton at the time. While aware of the risk that the community may not be receptive to a new concept, Dunham was up to the challenge. That's where Rapscallion came along.
"We were only open one day per week when we started our first restaurant, and we weren't sure how people would take it," says Dunham. "But it blew up."
After offering more hours and seeing how well-received their culinary creations were, they continued to bring new concepts to the city. Following their first success, the Other Bird team opened a cocktail bar, and did a crowd funding campaign to find creative ways outside of the traditional bank loan to start their next business, The Mule. It ended up being dubbed one of the first completely crowd-funded restaurants to open in North America, and was picked up in national media including The Globe and Mail.
The fundraiser ended up being a wildly successful marketing campaign to spread the word about The Other Bird, which Dunham says is usually marketed by word of mouth. As a result, Dunham took home two awards in 2015 from the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce's Business Achievement Awards gala, where she was named the city's Young Entrepreneur of the Year and her company, The Other Bird, named Outstanding Mid-Sized Business.
The Other Bird has left their Hamilton nest but flown to familiar territory: they've branched out to London, Ontario for their next venture. Hunter & Co. is a cocktail bar that's taking over the former Ritual Café near Budweiser Gardens, and is set to open early November.
"The downtown core, the restaurant and bar scene are so awesome in London it's why I'm coming back. I've always wanted to be a part of it," says Dunham.
Dunham hinted that this may not be the only new eatery The Other Bird will open in London. Within a year or two following the launch of Hunter and Co., Dunham hopes to open another spot that will shake up London's culinary scene. She's also partnering to open a sports bar in Hamilton in the near future.
While any entrepreneur knows starting a business is no easy task, Dunham and Kershaw's approach to hospitality, service, and culinary creations have grown The Other Bird into the success it is today. With over 165 staff members across their ventures, Dunham says the way they treat their staff and their relationships with other restaurants have been instrumental in defining their business model and changing the industry.
"In an industry that's so difficult you have to work together," says Dunham. "We try to be very inclusive and supportive of other restaurants. We don't think of ourselves in competition with them, we are all on the same team."
Dunham has never followed the typical path to success with The Other Bird and instead has built a business model that takes profits and builds upon their legacy.

Mother who 'killed her baby with meth-laced breast milk' charged with manslaughter
A 26-year-old woman has been ordered to stand trial in the death of her newborn son after he drank her methamphetamine-laced breast milk.
Maggie Jean Wortman, of Humboldt County, California, is charged with involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment.
Deputy District Attorney Ben McLaughlin said that his office is considering whether to upgrade the charge.
Deadly: A California woman was charged with second degree murder after feeding her son meth-laced breast milk
He told the Times-Standard of Eureka prosecutors may pursue voluntary manslaughter or second-degree murder based on evidence presented during Wednesday's preliminary hearing.
Court filings show Wortman admitted to using meth during her pregnancy and after her children were born and passed on the drug through her breast milk.
Chicago trader who faked his death 22 years ago to dodge gambling debts is found working in Las Vegas Casino 'Casey Anthony lawyer in New York negotiating with major TV networks for first tell-all'
Wortman took her six-week old son, Michael Acosta III, to an area hospital late last year when she noticed he had stopped breathing.
Toxicology reports on this body came back positive for meth.
Worthman's 19-month-old daughter also tested positive for the drug.

Wortman was initially arrested in January but was freed after posting $50,000 bail.
She was returned to police custody in April after failing a court-mandated drug test.
Wortman's case is not unprecedented. In 2003, a Riverside, California woman was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison for murdering her newborn son by feeding him meth-contaminated breast milk.
That conviction was overturned by an appellate judge citing faulty jury instructions given by the trial judge.
In 2005, a Salem, Oregon woman pleaded guilty to child endangerment for smoking meth while breast-feeding her nine-month old son, reports the Huffington Post.
If convicted, Wortman faces up to nine years in prison.

"I was involved at 9-11-01 attacks in NYC. The first day - that morning before the buildings fell, I volunteered as an EMT on NYFD ambulance. I was certified in my home state of SC. I got down to the World Trade Center towers before they fell. The second plane had just crashed when the ambulance arrived on scene. We lost the ambulance right away because of all the explosions and building pieces flighing through the air.


This week, I promised you to post the interview I had some weeks earlier with the CEO of Lightcraft Technology: Eliot Mack. Eliot and me talked about their approach of using AR technology to support movie productions on set with a live preview. It brings the before mentioned previs and the post-production process together – live to the set. Their system Previzion has the claim of "Visual Effects to Go". It's a combination of high precision camera tracking, sophisticated rendering, and VFX quality keying that makes it ideal for on-set compositing of virtual backgrounds and CGI characters. They've been working on the science fiction TV-series "V" doing live previs and post-production!
Hi Eliot. Thanks for taking your time. I've introduced previs to my readers and read about your system. But to kick off from the other direction: is Augmented Reality a known term in previs and do you consider your work somehow AR?
Hi Tobias. Thanks for having me. In the previsualization community, the real time combination of virtual and live action worlds has quite a few names. 'On set live preview', 'stage vis', 'live compositing', and 'Simulcam' are a few of the names. It's the same basic concept.
In a similar vein, 'Augmented Reality' is a fairly wide term, but in practice it usually means through the lens recognition of fiducial targets and features, and overlaying imagery on those targets.
Previzion definitely shares some technical origins with AR work in fiducial recognition and CG/live action graphics, but has a different development focus. For example, the target recognition camera is separate from the scene camera, as the targets can't be visible in the scene.
We ended up driving the technology into the specific realm of production level VFX work by incorporating high accuracy lens calibration, custom built inertial sensors, photorealistic real time rendering, VFX quality keying, and complete data logging to create a system to handle the very large scale problems that are encountered in the production world.
I was introducing the reader to the previs concept before. When do customers use previs live on location?
We have two main areas: feature film/episodic previsualization, where we show a real time preview and record the motion data for use later in post production, and in camera finishing, where the keyer and photorealistic background rendering are of high enough quality to be used as the final product.
We get used anywhere there is CG mixed with live action (greenscreen, scene extensions, animated characters, vehicles, driving plates, etc.) where the speed and quality has to be very high.
Your company worked on the production of the TV-series "V", where you did on-set previs with your system. Could you describe shortly the setup we've seen in the video and how it works?
The video above gives a pretty good overview. The tracking sensors are mounted on the camera, the lens motors connected to the lens, and the optical fiducial targets are mounted on the ceiling. The Previzion system brings all of the raw tracking, video, and lens data together, renders the matching 3D background, composites it, and sends it out to the preview monitors with only a 5 frame delay.
Does it also work outdoors or only on stages?
For outdoor shooting, you can either mount the optical targets sideways, and point the tracking camera at them, or use encoded Technocranes, jibs, and dollys. We've done a complete integration with the General Lift encoding system, and adding other encoder systems is straightforward.
How long are the setup times?
Setting up the optical targets on a stage takes about a day. After the stage is calibrated, daily on set operations aren't affected much by the system's presence, except for the live preview's presence.
Likewise, measuring an encoded crane takes about an hour on a pre-production tech day, and the daily setup time consists of powering on the crane encoders when the crane is in its default position, then making 2 measurements to locate the crane in the virtual space. It's quite rapid.
Having set up all hardware – you mentioned before that you also do live compositing with e.g. 3D set extensions, that can be broadcast as is. With Augmented Reality tracking we often experience inaccuracies or tracking errors. Is the accuracy solid enough for live compositing?
The accuracy is good enough for live compositing in many cases. The floor contact is not subpixel accurate (it slides by a couple of pixels), but if you have a practical floor and can blend the CGI seam into the practical floor it's fine. We've already been used to final some on the air children's TV shows and infomercials.
Sounds great. So, let's talk about the concept. What is the biggest advantage for whom on set? How does the system helps to visualize ideas and decisions?
The main creative benefit is to the director and DP, as they can see the whole shot come together and maintain creative control over what the show looks like. Without a preview, people tend to be conservative on greenscreen shoots, as they are worried about having someone run into a (virtual) wall.
When the camera operators had a live composited feed coming over the monitors, they could suddenly operate a virtual shot exactly like a normal live action shot. They could plan camera moves with the entire composition in frame, sweep around virtual geometry to maximize the dramatic impact of the shot, and make more powerful images.
The live preview simply transforms the VFX shooting process by bringing instant visual feedback.
…continuing with instant visual feedback – what is missing today in the AR approach and what do you want to integrate in the future to the system having collected a lot of experience with "V" and other projects?
We are continuously evolving the systems in the direction of better rendering, keying, tracking, stage usability, asset management, and data recording.
We are already seeing several customers using the system to finish shots in real time, as the keying and photorealistic background rendering are quite good.
We'll be pushing the envelope of what is possible in real time very hard, as the cost and time savings made possible by finishing on set are simply enormous.
We're also doing a lot of work in stereoscopic rig tracking and metadata handling, and working toward live stereoscopic preview. The optical lens calibration system that we invented is a natural fit for the precise optical matching required in stereo VFX.
Since we build the entire real time pipeline, we can work toward incorporating advanced VFX tools like 4:4:4 log space camera data input, HDRI lighting and rendering, scene referred linear compositing, color grading, and device corrected output color space transforms for realistic color previews. These are all standard tools in high end feature film VFX, but with our unique software and hardware architecture we can make them work in real time, which makes those techniques viable in a huge range of productions.
Talking about HDR lighting and high end visual effects… this seems to be too much for real-time today?
At a certain level of scene complexity, of course, it becomes something you have to render in post. Since the Previzion real time VFX pipeline is set up to mirror a post production VFX pipeline, the settings that were used on set to generate a director-approved look can be used as a perfect jumping-off point for the post process, without losing data or time in the process.
So you exchange lower quality place holders with higher quality later on. Do you more and more aim at live photorealism or what is the most important feature today?
Photorealism has obviously been critical in our in-camera finishing work. What has been more surprising is the desire for sophisticated rigging, models, and lighting in the on set feature film preview world. Everyone wants to see what the movie will actually look like as soon as possible.
Much of the virtual background 3D design work that traditionally happened in post production is being pushed into preproduction in the previsualization stage. This is a good thing, as it makes all the departments communicate before and during production instead of finding problems when it is too late in post to do anything about it.
In a nutshell to conclude. The great thing about your system and AR in movie production?
The benefit to post production is that Previzion takes care of a lot of the boring work – tracking, data recording, lens matching, etc. – and helps make sure that elements shot on the stage match the background lighting, have good greenscreen lighting, etc. It basically removes most of the unpleasant surprises that can cause post budgets to skyrocket.
Great! So, thanks a lot for all this insight, Eliot!

"Wrapped Star (Hi, Christo!)" by the Nest (Gnezdo), 1979.
Following Stalin's death in 1953, unofficial Soviet art began to develop "underground," outside the public realm and largely beyond the reach of critics, art historians and viewers. A hostile Communist regime set unofficial artists in opposition to those in power, despite the fact that many of the artists displayed little interest in politics and attempted to treat the authorities with disdain or indifference.
Such artists explored alternative paths for self-expression, eventually focusing on conceptual art with its emphasis on the importance of ideas and intellectual perception in the artistic process. The Moscow Conceptualism movement began in the early 1970s and continued as a trend in Russian art through the 1980s. Mary Nicholas, professor of Russian in the department of modern languages and literatures, explores conceptualism in Russia and its overall place in the history of modernism and postmodernism.
The author of the forthcoming book, Moscow Conceptualism: Words and Deeds of a Radical Art Movement, she studies visual texts, words painted on canvas that advance the importance of language while de-emphasizing the concrete art object. This painted word and its replacement of image with text call visual art itself into question. In the Soviet Union, such artistic texts were often borrowed from the world of politics in a subtle re-evaluation of both the pictorial art that they supplanted and the political system in which they arose. These painted words played a transformative role on the canvases of unofficial Russian artists. The resulting contrast between textual and visual art helped make conceptualism an unexpectedly influential branch of unofficial Soviet art.
"Russian conceptualism has still received too little critical attention, especially in the United States," says Nicholas. "In particular, we need a better understanding of the radical second generation of Moscow conceptualism."
Moscow conceptualists were revolutionaries in the conformist art world of the late Soviet Union. Their emphasis on humor, creative freedom, democratic access and individual action was a sweeping challenge to Soviet authorities, the status quo and even their unconventional colleagues. Second-generation Moscow conceptualists rebelled against political and artistic restraints alike, using their "underground" art to turn everyday texts into powerful statements of independence and imagination. Their performance art from the 1970s and 1980s even forecast the end of Soviet power.
The painted word that appears in so many visual works of Moscow conceptualism is central to understanding the movement. The image is replaced by a written commentary, by a description of a certain art project, by a critical statement. Art was transported from the studio and into the public. Convinced of the limited value of a single style or message to render multivalent reality, this group of artists made the conceptual leap off the canvas to an open-ended, experimental approach that encouraged spectator participation. These avant-garde artists could clearly see the façade of Soviet ideology, Nicholas adds.
"By 1987, you could feel it. Change was coming," Nicholas says. "They thought they had contributed to bringing the Soviet Union down. The collapse surprised many people, but this group of avant-garde artists, predicted, expected the Soviet Union to fall."

Why all of Taiwan needs Transitional Justice to work
Party politics once again threatens Taiwan's necessary process of Transitional Justice
By David Spencer, Taiwan News, Contributing Writer
(Wikimedia Commons photo)
Transitional Justice is back in the news this week after the Transitional Justice Commission (TJC) published its biannual report which made various recommendations, the majority of which seem eminently reasonable.
However, the problem is that the yet again the debate has descended into party political bickering with the KMT inevitably accusing the Commission of dancing to the DPP's political tune and seeking to make party political points.
It is irresponsible politicking of the worst kind, but sadly it is what the Transitional Justice debate has become these days. It absolutely should not be the case. Transitional Justice should be about justice, not politics. It is not about bad-mouthing the KMT party, it is about appropriately remembering the abuses and crimes of Taiwan's military dictatorship and ensuring that they are not repeated in the future.
Transitional Justice is about people. There are many survivors from the years of Taiwan's military regime who are still living with the physical and emotional scars of what they went through at that time. These will be people of all political persuasions and they deserve the respect of the Taiwanese politicians and people, and for a proper and independent Transitional Justice process to be implemented.
Transitional Justice is also about history. There is an age-old saying that 'those who forget the past will be condemned to relive it in the future'. No one in Taiwan wants a return to the worst years of Taiwan's military dictatorship, but with democracy in Taiwan under threat from Communist China, there has never been a more important time to remember what authoritarianism is really like here.
The most contentious element of Transitional Justice is the memory of Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) himself. To some, Chiang is a hero, leader of Chinese Nationalists who fought valiantly against the Communists in China and kept the Republic of China alive here in Taiwan. To others, he was a monstrous military dictator who tortured and killed countless people while repressing an entire nation.
History is never black and white, and the fact is that there are elements of both these views which are correct. It is undoubtedly true that Chiang shouldn't be idolized in the way he has been in the past. But neither should he be forgotten or airbrushed out of history either. There needs to be balance and a sense of perspective.
Taiwan needs to remember both sides of Chiang Kai-shek. We need to be proud of his achievements and honest about his abuses. This should be reflected in Taiwanese history books, in the way Chiang's legacy is taught in schools, and in the way he is portrayed in tourist attractions and monuments.
Removing his head from coins seems like a reasonable suggestion. The New Taiwan Dollar today is a symbol of something very different to the country Chiang envisaged. It is a mark of Taiwan's status as a sovereign nation and an independent democracy. As such, using it to memorialize the country's most famous military-dictator seems inappropriate.
The question of who or what should replace Chiang is difficult. Perhaps the coins could bear the head of Sun Yat-sen (孫中山), founder of the Republic of China and who already features on the NT$100 note. Perhaps they don't need a person on them at all, but could bear images of some of Taiwan's most famous landmarks. It seems like a good issue to put Taiwan's newfound direct democracy to the test. Maybe the people should have the final decision on who should replace Chiang.
The future of the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (中正紀念堂) is more complicated. The suggestion to remove authoritarian aspects of the site also seems reasonable, but the fact is that the military guard-changing ceremony at the Hall is one of Taiwan's more popular tourist attractions.
Whether it is in the best interests of Taiwan to stop them needs to be considered carefully. Surely, there are plenty of other areas where the Hall could be improved. The museum inside is currently an homage to Chiang, but doesn't reference his numerous abuses and atrocities at all. This should be rectified with a new, larger museum installed which offers a more rounded insight into his life and regime.
Consideration could also be given to a separate display which highlights Taiwan's transitions to democracy, its new-found respect for human rights, and the importance of the Transitional Justice process itself.
The future of the various statues and portraits of Chiang which can still be found around the country also need careful consideration. It could perhaps be left to local communities to decide whether to retain them or not. However, if they do remain, then the wording of any plaques or signs should provide perspective on his regime rather than simply glorify him.
For Transitional Justice to really work in Taiwan, it needs cross-party support. Sadly, for that to happen it needs the majority of KMT legislators to grow up and face up to the reality of their party's past.
It is in their interest to implement Transitional Justice properly in order to help cleanse the KMT of the atrocities that have been carried out in its name. It is also undoubtedly in the interests of both the Taiwan people and the country of Taiwan.
Can Taiwan's politicians put their differences aside in the national interest? At the moment, when it comes to Transitional Justice, it seems highly unlikely.
