Part of I object: Ian Hislop's search for dissent
(September 2018 – January 2019)
A wide variety of objects are on display in the exhibition – from graffiti on a Babylonian brick to a banknote with hidden rude words, from satirical Turkish shadow puppets to a recently acquired ‘pussy’ hat worn on a women’s march. See what tales these objects tell – sometimes deadly serious, often humorous, always with conviction. Unlock the messages and symbols these people used, and get closer to understanding them...
This history in 100(ish) objects shows that people have always challenged and undermined orthodox views in order to enable change. They even did so despite the establishment usually taking a pretty dim view – for most of history you could expect a gruesome punishment, up to and including death, for this kind of subversive behaviour. This suggests that maybe we are programmed to dissent – it’s just part of who we are. Ultimately, the exhibition will show that questioning authority, registering protest and generally objecting are an integral part of what makes us human.

Here is a link to the Smarthistory video: www.khanacademy.org/humanities/art-1010/abstract-exp-nysc...
In the video, commentator Steven Zucker said that "these are almost clouds of forms that exist in some sort of space of their own construction." What would it be like to exist only within the space of your own construction, the space of your own mind? Rothko himself said that if people really understood his paintings, they would weep when viewing them. This sounds like he's saying that we don't really, deeply, feel what his paintings are about, doesn't it? After all, imagine that you'd just seen this painting in person. Do you think it would have moved you to tears? Are Rothko's paintings about a persevering in spite of isolation, the inability to be fully understand by another person? Is that what he supposed to be moving about his paintings?

The following are comments from Train Orders members. South Pacific Coast was a 3-foot gauge line that ran from the East Bay to Santa Cruz. Later standard-gauged and taken over by the Southern Pacific. SPC 9 was a 3-foot gauge engine, sitting on dual gauge track. By 1908 No. 9 had no home 3-foot gauge rails to run on, so it was sold to a new 3-foot gauge pike. The photo was recorded at SPC's shop at Newark, CA.

"On the road between Cowra to Grenfell in central west New South Wales there's a whimsical and eye catching collection of old rusty machinery and vehicles in the yard of a tow truck driver business but it's much more than an assortment of junk."

Description:
Greek Experience
Beginning in the late 1970s, black fraternities and sororities at Cal Poly provided students with alternative forms of participation in the Cal Poly and local communities. Five Black Greek-letter organizations focused on service-oriented opportunities: fraternities Alpha Phi Alpha, Phi Beta Sigma, and Omega Psi Phi and sororities Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta. These organizations emphasized fostering a sense of community and identity among Cal Poly's African American students, as well as leading and participating in university and community reform movements and educational outreach.
As part of a national effort, these student organizations led a successful petition to legalize a holiday recognizing the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1981. They sponsored local activities such as a program at the California Men's Colony, educational seminars, gospel music programs, and a petition to reinstate the Voting Rights Act. According to former student and fraternity member Mark Iles, while these groups were not overtly political organizations, they used their resources to seek positive change, organizing celebrations of African American and minority history and offering a forum for critical debate on campus. The Mustang Daily chronicles many of these celebrations, including demonstrations of step dancing, an African American art style with roots in African foot dances. Student and former BSU co-president Shauna Kimball noted that African American groups at Cal Poly continue this tradition.
By 1998, Cal Poly's African American sororities and fraternities were disbanded. Declining African American enrollment at Cal Poly, blamed in part on the passage of Proposition 209, was a key factor. In combination with changes to the ASI Student Organizations framework (which required that 8 or more students were members of any club) and revised GPA requirements set by the CSU Chancellors Office, the organizations were unable to continue. Current efforts for new African American student clubs include the formation of "Driven Toward Sisterhood," a satellite of a UCSB organization. "Driven Toward Sisterhood" hopes to eventually develop into a branch of the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority, but difficulties in attaining membership challenge their goal.

More on Where We Stand:
While all of the Vihagu have made considerable improvements since their debut, this is none more evident than Shaju. The “Silent Warrior” has gone from being a partspam, weak and disorganized even by the Vihagu’s standards, to (in my opinion) the best MOC of the team. For his updates, I wanted to take the power armor element already implied by his previous version and push it up a notch.
His updates include:
*Giving him a proper helmet/visor in place of the Tarix mask, which due to the shoulder design was forced considerably above his shoulders. (This was done in November of last year.)
*Adding a tanker to his back, which ties into his absorption powers.
*Reworking the tubes connected to his thighs, which were prone to falling out of place.
*Giving him a new set of shins; using the Breakout shells to match the textures on his thighs and arms.
*Reworking the head of the halberd from the previous version to include the proper axe/spike combination of European halberds, while referencing the axe/dagger combination of Chinese “halberds”.
*Adding some greebles to round out the thighs.
Shaju didn’t get as much time devoted to filling in gaps as others, so there are still a few places on him that need to be filled in in future. I’d also like to give the clips on his shoulder plates some better use, perhaps by placing some artillery on them.

The Fossil Circus' Door. The story of this landscape began about 200000 years ago. Erosion dug two very deep united circus on the East part of volcano Peak of the Snow. From the place we are now standing, the valley grew larger to become a wide circus of 4922 feet deep on average. Volcano activity began again then, and about 200000 years to 20000 years lava flows and projections piled in the Bebour's circus background and so fossilizing it several hundred of feet high. Takamaka Valley is settled deep in the canyons of Porpoise River and lined with dizzy rock-walls where beautiful waterfalls fall down. It's a lush place.
Takamaka is also a tree endemic to the Mascarene archipelago. It was formerly used for creating boats.
We decided to walk down to the river but there was no secure track because of the recent bad weather conditions.

La Porte Du Cirque Fossile. L'Histoire du paysage commence il y a environ 200.000 ans. L'érosion avait creusé deux profonds cirques jointifs sur les flancs Est du volcan Piton des Neiges : l'un à l'emplacement actuel de Bélouve et Salazie, l'autre au niveau de Bébour. D'où nous nous trouvons, la vallée s'élargissait en un vaste cirque profond de 1500 m en moyenne. C'est alors que l'activité volcanique reprit : de 200 000 ans à 20 000 ans environ, les coulées de lave et les projections s'empilent au fond du cirque de Bébour, le fossilisant sur plusieurs centaines de mètres de hauteur. La vallée de Takamaka est encaissée dans les profonds canyons de la rivière des Marsouins et est bordée de vertigineux remparts parcourus par la douce chevelure des cascades. La végétation est luxuriante.
Takamaka, c'est un arbre endémique à l'archipel des Mascareignes. Il servait autrefois à la création d'embarcations.
Nous voulions prendre l'accès pédestre qui descendait dans le cirque, mais les récentes conditions météo avaient rendu l'accès inaccessible.
