We are documenting the Manhattanville area (Broadway between 125th St. and 137th St. in Manhattan) that will be razed to make way for the octopus expansion of Columbia University. There are of course issues relating to the displacement of a poor and working class neighborhood that may be priced-out of the existing rental housing market through the use of QUESTIONABLE (unconstitutional) eminent domain maneuvers.
The legal concept of eminent domain allows the government and municipalities to take over and raze properties that are partially “blighted”, in order to transfer their sites to private institutions such as Columbia University. Community advocates and protesters argue that this approach to urban redevelopment favors wealthy redevelopers and private institutions at the expense of poor and working class residents, and encourages profligate municipal expenditures and tax variances in support of dubious or marginal benefit to the existing community.
“Terrain Vague” is a French term used by Spanish architect and critic Ignasi de Solà-Morales to describe ambiguous, unresolved, and marginalized spaces in the urban landscape. Terrain vague refers to sites that are often ignored in the mainstream discourse on architecture and design, such as industrial wastelands and monotonous suburban developments.
Solà-Morales notes that photographers and architects address terrain vague in differing ways. The photographer sees these spaces as places that are imbued with a storied past. Architects, however, approach these spaces as problems to be solved through design. Solà-Morales asks:
What is to be done with these enormous voids, with their imprecise limits and vague definition? Art's reaction . . . is to preserve these alternative, strange spaces. . . . Architecture's destiny [by contrast] has always been colonization, the imposing of limits, order, and form, the introduction into strange space of the elements of identity necessary to make it recognizable, identical, universal. The voids, imprecise limits and ambiguities typical of “vague terraine” conjure visions of a species of twilight zone. Rather than being submitted for entertainment and approval by Rod Serling, the haphazard spaces of discontinuous improbabilty of Manhattanville are being submitted for exploitative redevelopment.
True to Solà-Moraleshas' observation, as a group of photographers, we have chosen to address “terrain vague” by documenting aspects of a neighborhood community that will soon disappear into the mist of NYC history. The Manhattanville community has historically given sustenance and a sense of place to a succession of working-class poor but soon will give way to trendy gentrification. The proposed draconian development project is occurring in the context of an insular university institution that has continually expanded at the expense of its surrounding minority neighbors. Understandably, this has resulted in a significant amount of conflict dating back to at least the 1960's.
I found the proliferation of advertising signs in the ManhatanviIle community to be visually oppressive and amplified my own sensation of “terraine vague.” On some level I felt the huge advertising signs were selling “solutions” and “fixes” for manufactured needs that could not be openly discussed.
The intrusive messages seemed to overwhelm\ and diminish the legitimacy of signs calling for urgent action such as: “Halt Columbia University's abuses of eminent domain!”
Some billboards pictured self indulgent, self-satisfied role models enticing as they flaunt their wealth, fame, lifestyle and accomplishments. As if to say….I got mine,….and you? They insinuate to pedestrians what cannot legitimately be articulated or promised in words.
These corporate mercenaries of popular culture model poses and attitudes, that dangle an antidote to the toxic powerlessness and soul sickness of poverty.....quickly, effortlessly, magically….. Without the bother of self-awareness or struggle for social justice.
“Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.” ~From the movie Fight Club, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk
It is no wonder to me that the mixed messaging of political advertising and policy makers, etc., keep voters confused and easily misdirected, by so-called "wedge issuues", that appeal on the basis of low self esteem driven uncertainty and fear. Induced mass low self esteem is an interesting phenomenon that drives passive consumption of ideas, values, decision-making......and, yes, let's not forget.....material consumption!
Check out “Happiness: Lessons From a New Science”, by Richard Layard who exposes a paradox at the heart of our lives. Most of us want more income so we can consume more.
Mind control, anyone?
For me, the ideas that drive this photographic essay are connected to the vagaries of urban space usage and how the meaning of community is distorted, misdirected and shaped to fit the purposes of the power elite.
This art project hopes to bring attention to these ideas and inequities. It is expected that this work will result in an exhibition at sometime at the begining of 2008.
48 Pontiac - Do a Google image search for "Pontiac hood ornaments" sometime ....... probably the most photogenic.
I originally read it as: "No to the EU! Yes to much!" (in Norwegian) - which I thought was a brilliant statement capturing the zeitgeist in Oslo of the summer of 2005 perfectly.
Well it turns out that it says (thanks, Forteller!): "No to the EU! Yes to MØE!" Where MØE, or M.Ö.E) is a group of taggers operating in Oslo. Not half as brilliant, I'm afraid - but still a statement. (Location: Blindernveien, by the tube-stop).
1306 Government Street, Victoria, BC
Statement of Significance
Description of Historic Place
The Palace Cigar Store is a two-storey, brick commercial building located on the west side of Government Street within Victoria’s Old Town. The building features a prominent arcade of three round-headed windows, each springing from a pair of columns, across the upper storey. The ground floor has a retail storefront with a central recessed entrance.
Heritage Value
The Palace Cigar Store is symbolic of the development of Victoria’s Old Town during the city’s early twentieth century economic renewal. At the time, there was increasing demand for retail space downtown, which resulted in construction activity along Government Street as the main shopping district. This building was an investment property for Heinrich Siebenbaum (1859-1942) who was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and arrived in Canada in 1893. By 1899, he was the operator of the Palace Saloon in the adjacent Adelphi Building at the corner of Government and Yates Streets. 1306 Government Street was opened as the Palace Cigar Store, with offices above. Siebenbaum’s business was destroyed in 1915 in local attacks on German commercial properties after the sinking of the Lusitania in World War One.
The Palace Cigar Store is additionally significant as an example of the transition from the Late Victorian era to the Edwardian era at a time when architectural styles, as well as building technologies, were changing. It typifies the late persistence of the Romanesque Revival style, as shown in the round-arched window openings on the upper floor. The ground floor was originally a single arched opening, further emphasizing a Romanesque character, but was later modernized to a rectangular storefront in line with changing commercial tastes.

Character-Defining Elements
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Palace Cigar Store include its:
- location on Government Street, part of a grouping of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century historic masonry buildings in Victoria's Old Town
- continuous commercial use
- siting on the front and side property lines, with no setback
- commercial form, scale and massing, as expressed by its two-storey height, symmetrical rectangular plan and flat roof
- masonry construction, including pressed brick façade, common brick side and rear walls, and stone cornice
- Romanesque Revival style details, such as round-arched window heads, coupled columns with foliate cushion capitals, simply articulated archivolts, and corbelled brickwork
- fenestration, such as one-over-one double-hung wooden-sash windows with fixed semicircular transoms
- early storefront with central entry and plate glass display windows

I just mink oiled my trusty old boots the day before and was feeling real good about them. In the parking lot prior to snowshoeing the Vibram separated on one, then prodding the other boot it did too.

Statement: Uses ordinary materials in a common place way, clearly categorized from our everyday point of view.
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?

Monokuma's entire face and body split equally down the center into two sides. It resembles the Yin-Yang symbol of which there's a balance between good and bad. Sometimes, Monokuma will show his good side in regular conversation but will turn to his bad side when he's angry, merciless, or ruthless.
His right side is white in color and has the classic teddy bear expression. His left side is black in color and has a red slash for an eye and an evil, stretched grin. Although he is entirely split into two opposite sides, the only parts of Monokuma that aren't affected by the split are his muzzle and belly area; which both remain white. He also has a large and obvious bellybutton on the lower part of his belly. His bulging navel has an X mark on it.
