cannibaliza: medievalpoc: medievalpoc: Peter Paul Rubens Drunken Silenus Netherlands (1616) Oil on wood, 212 x 214.5 cm. Alte Pinakothek, Munich. I think we all need to take a moment to appreciate just how INCREDIBLY upset this painting and Ruben’s apparent love for it have made the curator at wga.hu: In Greek mythology Silenus is a rural god, one of the retinue of Bacchus, a gay, fat old drunkard who was yet wise and had the gift of prophecy. In Rubens’ painting he is shown drunkenly tottering, his belly swollen with meat and drink, and supported by a disparate collection of dotards, drunkards, blacks, children and young women. The careless inebriation of this bacchanal is expressed by a thicker touch that conveys the unwieldy weight of the drinkers’ gait. The composition was originally conceived with half-length figures, but was later enlarged by Rubens himself. The painting hung in Rubens’ house. Ha ha ha ha ha…my goodness. There is only a single Black man in this painting, but perhaps the incredible force with which he is pinching Silenus’s “gay, fat old drunk[ard]” ass* is enough to chagrin this curator into thinking there must be somehow more than one? Apparently the thought of Rubens staring at this piece and smiling every morning while eating his breakfast sausage was just too much for some people. As you may have noticed by now, Rubens adored drawing and painting Black people and included them in many, many of his paintings, as well as having done studies, portraits, sketches, and other works of art used for his workshop and apprentices. Many of his works he kept for himself in his personal collection. *The pinch is actually an important part of the original story: Silenus is awakened from a drunken stupor and bound with his own garlands by nymphs and satyrs and made to sing a song of creation and the forces of nature for an important ceremonial dance. I truly hope you understand how happy this painting makes me. I want one for my own (nonexistent) breakfast nook. This subject is also referred to as “The Triumph of Silenus”. Yeah the “curators” at wga.hu are a retired physicist and a researcher in computer science and information theory. They’re not art historians at all. DON’T BE SURPRISED THAT THEY SUCK AT ART HISTORY. the rest of you are right though. I find that incredibly ironic, personally. And to be fair, my point is that art history writing is full of bigoted opinions like the above, so “sucking at art history” is kind of perspective-contingent. After all, considering that what I do differs quite a bit from the way art history is usually conducted (which I of course think is a good thing), plenty of people have said that *I* suck at art history, too. I would, however, very much doubt that the curators of wga.hu have received anywhere near the quantity of hate mail I have.

Here is another discussion on women in IT in Cambodia from the Phnom Penh Barcamp of 2008. Sometimes where your topic does not get a classroom, you can hold a discussion like this. In barcamps we manage with whatever facility we have.
this is the first of the two designs for kytes in last year's "original thinking" class at my visual communications school.
the brief was to design kytes that were designated to be flown all along israel and palestine, as a symbol of dicssion between the two nations.
i chose to make symbols, rather than a designed poster on this subject, because i felt that these icons will be seen on a flying kyte only if they are catchy.
in this symbol i was inspired by the "Eretz Israel Museum" symbol designed by the israeli graphic designer Franz Kraus, seen on the lower left corner.
