SUMMARY:Jane Hirshfield Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Jane Hirshfield\, an award-winning poet\, essayist\, and translator\, will deliver a public lecture at 6pm in Taylor 203. Instructing us on what it means to awaken to the full capacity of attention\, Jane Hirschfield’s work ranges from the metaphysical and passionate to the political\, ecological\, and scientific\, to the subtle and miraculous unfoldings of daily life. \nHirshfield has published eight collections of poetry\, including The Beauty\, After\, and Given Sugar\, Given Salt.  Her collections of essays on “the mind of poetry”— Ten Windows: How Great Poems Transform the World and Nine Gates: Entering the Mind of Poetry–are classics in their field.  Her work has been called “passionate and radiant” by the New York Times Book Review\, and described by the San Francisco Chronicle as evidencing “the grasp of a master” and “filled with somber\, judiciously lit treasures.” \nAmong Hirshfield’s many honors are The Poetry Center Book Award; fellowships from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundations\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the Academy of American Poets; Columbia University’s Translation Center Award; and the Commonwealth Club of California’s California Book Award. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The Nation\, Harper’s The American Poetry Review\, Poetry\, The Paris Review\, McSweeney’s\, Orion\, eight volumes of The Best American Poetry (including the 25th anniversary Best of the Best American Poetry volume)\, and many other publications. In 2004\, Hirshfield was awarded the 70th Academy Fellowship for Distinguished Poetic Achievement by the Academy of American Poets\, an honor formerly held by such poets as Robert Frost\, Ezra Pound\, William Carlos Williams\, and Elizabeth Bishop. In 2012\, she was elected a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets\, and also named the third recipient of the Donald Hall–Jane Kenyon Prize in American Poetry.

SUMMARY:Polyester a film by John Waters
DESCRIPTION:Polyester is a satire on race\, gender\, sexuality\, and class by acclaimed filmmaker John Waters. It is being screened in coordination with Professor Sophia Harvey’s courses: FILM 392 and MEDS 160 \nReservations required here \nCriterion Collection Write-Up by Carrie Rickey \nRemember those inane but innovative gimmicks that duped a movie audience into having the time of its life even when the movie stunk? \nThere was Percepto in William Castle’s The Tingler (1959)\, a device consisting of a buzzer rigged into selected theater seats which jolted viewers into believing that the critter of the film’s title (a dormant organism aroused by its host’s fright) was alive in their spinal columns. Less effective but more fun was Illusion-O\, Castle’s gimmick for 13 Ghosts (1960) similar to 3-D glasses except that you could see the spools if you looked through the red lens but couldn’t if you looked through the green. \nJohn Waters fondly remembered these gimcrack gimmicks and resuscitated them for his 1981 film Polyester\, shot in fabulous Odorama. This\, in the first above-ground picture made by the director of such subterranean dementia as Mondo Trasho (1969) and Pink Flamingos(1972)\, was a cinematic breakthrough more profound than Dolby sound or Cinerama. For an audience that previously had been olfactory-deprived\, able only to SEE but not SMELL a movie\, Waters provided special scratch-and-sniff cards enabling you to fill your nostrils with whatever scent or stench that the film’s heroine\, Francine Fishpaw\, was inhaling. These aromas\, which ranged from the pungent perfume of pizza to the foul fragrance of flatulence\, reinforced the film’s all-important moral: Some things in life just plain stink. \nFrancine Fishpaw (played by Waters’ longtime diva\, the divine female impersonator Divine\, aka Glenn Milstead) is a suburban housewife who wins the Woman’s Movie Trifecta\, enduring alcoholism\, juvenile-delinquent children\, and divorce. Fortunately\, V\, as the title intimates\, is a 100% unnatural comedy\, a satire of middle-class America tickling the conventions of the mainstream domestic melodrama. It was the first of Waters’ Bourgeois Trash Trilogy that would later include the 1987 Hairspray and the 1990 Cry Baby\, all films lampooning middle-class values. \nPoor Francine Fishpaw. She lives on a secluded cul-de-sac in suburban Baltimore\, a dead-end in more ways than one. Sure\, Francine seems to have everything: the house\, the husband\, the Empire furniture upholstered in Jordan Almonds colors (white\, lavender\, pale pink). But she is having a Bad Air Day. For this woman with a nose keener than an anteater’s sniffs something rotten in her plush paradise. \nIs it the moldy tomatoes thrown by the picketers outside her house\, protesting her husband’s porn theater\, currently playing the XXX-rated movie\, My Burning Bush? Is it the cheap perfume worn by her slutty daughter\, the one in the spandex disco pants and the Farrah Fawcett ‘do? Or is it the angel dust smoked by her punk (as in rocker AND delinquent) son\, a foot-fetishist sought by the police for his serial crime of stomping the sandaled feet of pretty women? \nThere’s no one Francine can turn to for help or advice. Her mother is interested only in money. Her husband is busy diddling his secretary. Thus the vodka bottle becomes solace for Francine\, a picture of full-figured pathos who looks as though she’s simultaneously channeling Liz Taylor\, Anna Magnani\, and Smirnoff. \nWaters knows—and he knows that you know—that the convention of women’s movie melodramas dictates that she who has everything must be punished for being better off than those in the audience. Yet Francine suffers more than most. Her daughter comes home pregnant\, with a straight-F report card. Her son is expelled for truancy\, arrested for his foot-stomping\, and sent off to what used to be called “the laughing house.” Then there’s her empty-bed blues. Could it get any worse? Imagine what it’s like for Francine to reach for a snort and find that her mother has handed her a jigger of gasoline! \nFor she who suffers\, the woman’s movie melodrama also provides deliverance. Will Francine be saved by that hunk in the white Corvette\, Todd Tomorrow (Tab Hunter)? He is the opposite of her philandering husband: attentive\, tender\, PLUS he runs a drive-in theater showing a triple-feature of films by Marguerite Duras\, the highbrow novelist-feminist whose movies are as tedious and opaque as Waters’ are peppy and transparent. \nWith Todd\, Francine enjoys a “Happy Interlude\,” that montage sequence in the woman’s movie where everything goes right for the heroine. The couple horseplays feeding ponies\, they chase butterflies\, they take a roll in the hayloft. But Waters knows—and he knows that you know—that the “Happy Interlude” is just the upbeat prelude to the downbeat melodrama that inevitably follows. \nHappily\, Polyester has an unexpectedly cheerful resolution. Francine is reunited with her children who have learned that instead of committing crimes\, they can make art about them. In the stale genre of woman’s movies\, Polyester may not be a breath of fresh air\, but it is definitely a waft of air freshener. \nReservations required here

SUMMARY:"You're Data"
DESCRIPTION:You’re Data is both a research project and an experiment in science-inspired art making. With audio-illusions as our focus (those being ‘like optical illusions\, but for hearing’)\, we designed an investigation using human subjects to produce results to be used in future cognitive science research. The results\, as well as various artful depictions of the process\, and outside research on the so-called ‘divide between the arts and sciences\,’ will also come into play in a multi-media installation in the Mug September 12-14. The installation will be open Monday-Wednesday from 5-9pm each evening. Come celebrate a summer’s worth of interdisciplinary experimentation with us!

SUMMARY:The Strangers Project in the Collaboratory
DESCRIPTION:The Strangers Project is a collection of over 20\,000 anonymous handwritten “journal entries” shared spontaneously by passing strangers. I ask people to write about anything they want—as long as it’s true. When people share their stories\, we can explore the connections that make us human. Every day we visit work\, school\, cities\, and businesses. We sit next to one another on trains\, on buses and in cars. We take care of our families and friends\, and of ourselves. Every day\, we choose what we expose to one another. \nSharing stories helps us learn about each other\, and in turn\, about ourselves. For a moment\, it doesn’t matter if you’re a business person\, a student\, a homeless person\, a secretary\, a teacher\, a child\, a doctor\, a traveler\, a mother or a father—we all share something common. We can be people and we can invite those around us in\, and for a moment\, we can share something real. Every person that you pass on the street has a story to share. We are all just waiting for the right time for someone else to listen. – a note from The Strangers Project founder\, Brandon Doman

SUMMARY:Alejandro Durán: Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop students will use the colorful international trash that Durán has found washed up on the caribbean coast of Mexico to create installations on the Vassar campus. We will explore forms that speak to the relationship between the synthetic and the natural at both the micro and macro level and produce photographs of these ephemeral works. \nIn preparation for the workshop students will be asked to scout locations for the installations and take photographs of one micro and one macro location. \nThere will be a maximum of 20 students who may take the workshop. To sign up\, please email thpacio@vassar.edu. \nAlejandro Durán was born in Mexico City in 1974\, Alejandro Durán is a multimedia artist now based in Brooklyn\, New York. Through photography\, installation and video\, his work examines the fraught intersections of man and nature\, particularly revealing the pervasive impact of consumer culture on the natural world. He received an MA in Teaching from Tufts University in 1999 and an MFA in poetry from the New School for Social Research in 2001. \nDurán received En Foco’s 2011 New Works Award\, was included in the 2012 Bronx Biennial of Latin American Art\, and was nominated for the 2014 and 2015 Prix Pictet and the 2016 Prix Thun for Art and Ethics. He has exhibited his work at the Galería Octavio Paz at the Mexican consulate in New York and was Hunter College’s Artist-in-Residence for 2014-2015 with his solo show\, Washed Up: Transforming a Trashed Landscape.

SUMMARY:Experimental Open House: Olmstead
DESCRIPTION:Please see the event description below from 2016 CAAD Multi-Arts Collective participant\, Gabrielle Miranda. \nGreetings! On behalf of Creative Arts Across Discplines and one of the three groups funded by the program this summer\, Do You Hear What I Hear\, you are cordially invited to an Experimental Evening in the EEG Lab in Olmstead! Do You Head What I Hear is composed of myself\, Gabby Miranda (political science)\, Conor Flanagan (also political science)\, Maya Enriquez (cognitive science) and Elisabeth Boyce-Jacino (also cognitive science). You may have heard of our project\, as we have been crowd-sourcing students on campus this summer to participate as test subjects in our research project. This project uses the an electroencephalographic net to record brain waves. Each participant is quite literally hooked up to a computer and can witness elements of their brain activity on a screen. \n\nWhen else have you ever heard of such a thing? \nThis coming Tuesday\, July 19th\, we are inviting whoever (anyone from any major\, faculty\, Poughkeepsie folks\, etc.) to come to the lab\, Room A71\, for a chance to participate in our Experimental Open House. Starting at 7pm\, you will have a chance to be netted (though this will come at a first come\, first served basis). A variety of interdisciplinary-oriented\, creative activities and mini-workshops will aslo be offered. The goal of the event is to experiment with engaging a “creative” mindset in a “scientific” setting. So come blur the disciplinary lines with us and realize some of your own experimental ponderings.

SUMMARY:Washed Up: a lecture with Alejandro Duran
DESCRIPTION:Come hear Alejandro Duran talk about his Washed up Project. Duran will be returning to campus on July 21 to hold a workshop with Vassar students who are on campus this summer. More information on the workshop coming soon! \nWhat is the Washed Up Project? \nWashed Up is an environmental installation and photography project that transforms the international debris washing up on Mexico’s Caribbean coast into aesthetic yet disquieting works. \nOver the course of this project Durán has identified plastic waste from fifty-three nations and territories on six continents that have washed ashore along the coast of Sian Ka’an\, Mexico’s largest federally protected reserve and an UNESCO World Heritage site. He uses this international debris to create color-based\, site-specific sculptures that conflate the hand of man and nature. At times he distributes the objects the way the waves would; at other times\, the plastic mimics algae\, roots\, rivers\, or fruit\, reflecting the infiltration of plastics into the natural environment. \nMore than creating a surreal or fantastical landscape\, these installations mirror the reality of our current environmental predicament. The resulting photo series depicts a new form of colonization by consumerism\, where even undeveloped land is not safe from the far-reaching impact of our culture of disposable products. The alchemy of Washed Up lies not only in transforming a trashed landscape\, but in the project’s potential to raise awareness and change our relationship to consumption and waste.
