Says: "Foucault is gay"

Michel Foucault (French pronunciation: [miʃɛl fuko]) (15 October 1926 – 25 June 1984) was a French philosopher and historian. He held a chair at the Collège de France with the title "History of Systems of Thought," and also taught at the University of California, Berkeley.
Foucault is best known for his critical studies of social institutions, most notably psychiatry, medicine, the human sciences, and the prison system, as well as for his work on the history of human sexuality. Foucault's work on power, and the relationships among power, knowledge, and discourse has been widely discussed. In the 1960s Foucault was often associated with the structuralist movement. Foucault later distanced himself from structuralism. While Foucault is typically characterized as a post-structuralist and postmodernist, he personally rejected the postmodernist and post-structuralist labels, preferring to classify his thought as a critical history of modernity, rooted in Kant.[1]
MEDIA STATEMENT: Gloucester and Camden residents and their supporters including iconic Australian actor Michael Caton bring their battle against coal seam gas to Sydney for the Annual General Meeting of AGL on Thursday 23 October 2014.
The residents are calling on AGL to immediately suspend its coal seam gas operations in Gloucester.
The group greeted shareholders as they arrived at the venue, informing them about AGL’s involvement in coal seam gas.
Residents also attended the AGM to ask questions about the company’s record of pollution incidents and licence breaches as well as the viability of proceeding with the Gloucester project in a volatile environment of strong community opposition.
There have been more than ten people arrested in the last 48 hours at the site where AGL is trying to begin fracking coal seam gas in Gloucester. The company brought its equipment trucks into the site at 4am on Monday morning.
The community have vowed to continue taking peaceful direct action to interrupt and delay the coal seam gas fracking over concerns it threatens human health, existing agriculture and tourism businesses, and the community’s water supply.
The fracking of four coal seam gas wells at Gloucester was approved by NSW Resources Minister Anthony Roberts in August 2014. This is the first coal seam gas fracking approved by the current NSW Government. AGL is planning to drill and frack 110 coal seam gas wells in the first stage of operations in Gloucester.

An Artist´s Statement
By
Filip Haglund
In my work of art I address the problems society suffers from the most, but shows most resilience to resolve. The modern religious benevolent despotism, the narrow-mindedness of ideologies, the conflicts it results in, and their reluctance to acknowledge obvious problems like the global warming. Consequently the religion´s and ideologists intentional and unintentional oppression of mankind. I argue for the recognition of a correlation between moral theory and science. My artistry illuminate the necessity of an objective moral truth, as a foundation for the sincerely free and equal human beings. I choose art as my medium since art has a capacity to affect people in an unique way and the freedom of art makes it the ultimate social criticism.
During my foundation course at Nyckelviksskolan I developed a technical knowledge and investigative approaches to sculpture as a medium. Something I was able to experiment with on a larger scale during my work as set designer for Stockholm Operastudio’s production of Tjajkovskij´s Eugen Onegin. It gave me the opportunity to work with large installations and lighting design, which is reflected in my current work. In order to develop my historically, theoretically and critically informed approaches to art making I have taken courses in art history at Stockholm University and courses in architectural history and international contemporary architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology´s School of Architecture in Stockholm. Since my art is strongly related to our society its been in my interest to emphasize this more theoretical part of my creativity, hence, at present I am taking a course in PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics) at Stockholm University. This has given me a greater understanding of society´s construction, its problems and possible solutions, which lays the foundation of my art making. These theories, I whish to anchor and find expression for through continued artistic studies.
The arts have always had a close relationship to philosophy. In my work of art I argue for the acknowledgement of the correlation between normative ethics, metaethics and science as a foundation for tomorrow´s society. A society in which art bears a responsibility, through its pioneering, to set an agenda for tomorrow. Art should explore itself, by formulating the ideas of society and the Camberwell College of Arts is a platform for creativity, with the means to explore and define society.
Let me begin by manifesting the existence of an objective moral truth and objective moral values. This truth and these values can be tested against empirical science, but not at the expense of moral-and-value theory. I define empirical science (naturalism) as a science within physiology, where a person's physical condition can be measured, in order to document and understand the human emotions. It is this sort of naturalism that asserts a moral truth, unlike a hypothetic idealized man made or theistic constitution. Morals can be reduced to semantic value judgment and ontological fact-value, which implies the existence of empirically measurable objective values and cognitive values. Consequently value judgement is incompatible with a moral converging towards God.
In my portfolio I am trying to illustrate society´s reluctance to solve its obvious issues, passively awaiting the helping hand of God. The form of moral values which I describe is a sort of objective realism, not religious idealism. Thus creating a coherence between moral and empirical science. This requires the objectivity of rational thinkers making rational choices. I define rational thinkers as individuals with an order of preference that acknowledges the correlation between naturalism (empiricism) and objective moral values (ethical non-naturalism). The scientists rarely approach the moral discussions and most proponents of morals have declared science and moral as incommensurable, or that the first merely describes the second. This discussions affects the fundament of society and it is therefore an essential question for the arts to approach. I describe this in my work of art through contrasting moods, mediums and expressions, displaying the imbalance in nature and society. I isolate conditions, highlights them with symbolism, in a portrayal of an objective commitment against distorted ideologies.
We must make assumptions of theoretical value, in accepting the supervenience of moral and empirical science, objective moral realism and naturalism. This is a trans scientific point of view, laying a new foundation for society, making it an important subject for the arts to investigate. According to me, art is an Utopia, equivalent of freedom. The liberty of art, its rejection of diminishing rules, makes art trans scientific, with the capacity of moving through the layers of society. And sculpture in particularly, since its 3D, 4D and cross-dimensional pathways, makes it the ultimate free medium of expression. With sculpture as my medium, I may begin to articulate and visualise my thesis of objective naturalistic moral realism. In attending a higher education in fine art, I aim to develop my theses, and through an open dialogue with the College´s staff, explore new ways of expressing them.
Another message from the artist James De La Vega, written on the sidewalk. This one is a bit more difficult to see in the photo. It reads, "Slavery has yet to perish -De La Vega" - it's a message I haven't seen from him before, and it's uncharacteristically grim. Many of his more recent messages have seemed that way.
I came upon this one when it was fresh. I had walked down this way a few hours earlier, and it had been devoid of messages. Setting up this shot had the usual challenges of framing, but I also wanted to incorporate something that would give a feel for the city environment that the message was in. I was pleased with a few that included joggers and bikers near the message, but then I saw a dog walker who had just gone to a water fountain with his dog. (At this particular fountain, there was an additional fountain near the bottom for the dog to drink from and splash in.) They began to walk in the direction of the message, and the rest was a matter of timing.
While I do not intend for this to be a statement equating pets with slavery, it seemed rather fitting to have this unenthusiastic-looking dog getting tugged along on a leash, stepping over the chalk words.

Net Zero Needs Nuclear Power, Shared Presentations Stage 3, Thematic Arena 3, Opportunity petal, an IAEA Statement Event at the United Nations Climate Change Conference UNCCC held at the Expo City Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Blue Zone, 1 December 2023
The IAEA Event: Net Zero Needs Nuclear Power will highlight the crucial role of nuclear power as part of the energy mix. The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mr Rafael Mariano Grossi will announce the ‘IAEA Statement on Nuclear Power’ supported by 40 countries, both those already operating nuclear power plants and newcomers. Together these countries acknowledge that all available low-carbon technologies, including nuclear power, should be recognized, and actively supported. The Statement underlines the benefits of nuclear power, including that nuclear power plants produce no harmful greenhouse gas emissions; that nuclear energy contributes to energy security and the stability of power grids; and that it mitigates air pollution at a local level.

The Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza form Mexico's best known ancient site, as well as one of the most extensive. The monuments are hugely impressive and include some of the most iconic architectural statements surviving from Mayan culture, including the Temple of the Warriors, the enormous Ball Court and the great stepped pyramid known as El Castillo, the centrepiece of the first area of the city seen by the visitor from the site entrance.
The chief god worshipped here appears to have been Kukulkan (the Mayan form of Quetzelcoatl) whose open-jawed serpent heads adorn many of the main temple structures.
The city and it's monuments mostly date between 600-1200AD and thus exhibit a variety of styles, making this a kind of architectural open air museum or textbook on Mayan art, with most buildings following a more severe, monumental design (though often adorned with low relief), whilst a few in the southern group feature the lavish ornamentation of the Puuc style as seen at Uxmal.
Chichen Itza receives a far greater influx of visitors than Mexico's other ancient sites (being within easy shot of daytrippers from resorts like Cancun) and thus for their own protection most of the monuments are now roped off to prevent the wear and tear of thousands of feet climbing the pyramid and the many temple platforms. This was something of a disappointment to us having had so much more free reign to explore other sites, though having seen the numbers increase dramatically through the day can readily understand and support such measures.
NOPE! i just don't want the dentist to drill on my teeth today. today is the first of my many dental work appointments, getting 3 cavities filled. still have to go back for wisdom teeth out and root canal. ugh.

A #statement of #CashFlow comes with three mandatory sections. We can call them as the primary section. There is a fourth section too, but it is of optional nature, and you can leave it blank. Leaving the fourth section blank is not going to put any impact on the facts mentioned in the remaining report.
Artist's statement for my solo show in the Buntrock Commons at St. Olaf College, shown from March 19th until April 10th, 2009. Work was produced during the month of January, 2009, as the final project in a month-long course Advanced Drawing course I took.
The statue at left by Pablo Machioli was placed at the site of the memorial to Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson in Baltimore's Wyman Park as a protest statement, and subsequently suffered significant damage that the police say was the result of vandalism. I've added to this image a depiction of two Baltimore Ravens players that were kneeling during the playing of the National Anthem at last Sunday's football game. The statue of Lee and Jackson was removed from its pedestal and was put into storage by the City some weeks ago.
These handmade pillows are the perfect statement for any couch (or chair).

Here and there small towns and big cities make their own display or host a traveling set of crosses, in which each marker represents 100 or 1000 aborted fetuses, for example. This is a powerful and persisting visual statement. Does the opposing position have something equally visible, though: something to show how life is different for the woman thus impacted?
