“I have but one language — yet that language is not mine”, wrote Jacques Derrida in what is supposed to be an autobiographical essay, reflecting on the loss of one’s mother tongue as a consequence of colonialism in Algeria. But in what language does one write memoirs when there is no mother tongue? Whatever language we speak, and no matter how proficiently we master that language, the truth is we never quite own it. Language is an implant as much as it is a product of discipline and domestication. It is a foreign body within one’s own body. “I have but one language — yet that language is not mine”. Departing from this paradox, this exhibition is meant to be experienced as a passage between languages. A proliferation of voices whose identity remains in question. Some of them appear to be thrown into absolute translation. Others provide a line of flight from native culture and the politics of cultural belonging. Away from national identity and its dominant linguistic forms. A line of flight from the authority of the mother tongue. This exhibition wants to be a place from which to conjure up those voices that sound the most alien to us, not because they belong to another language, but because they are foreigners in their own language and so they make ours foreign to us.
Jim is a Detroit native who moved to New York and got his first writing job at the Doyle Dane Bernbach advertising agency, writing copy for the firm's Volkswagen campaign.
He's kind of a hero to me, yes. . . . :-D
I've seen several of those old DDB Volkswagen ads, but I don't know which of them were Jim's.

I appreciated Donna O' Donnell Figurski's Buffy Sainte-Marie essay, and everyone else enjoyed it too.
Sitting behind Donna, partially obscured, is Joe Thayer, a short story writer who read later in the evening.

ART.WRITE.NOW Tour, a selection of works from the prestigious Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, is currently on exhibit in our Swigert Commons! The exhibit represents a small sample of the Alliance’s annual national exhibition, which in 2011 showcased more than 600 works from teens in grades 7 through 12.
The ART.WRITE.NOW Tour is central to the Alliance’s mission to provide recognition for creative teens and to highlight the value of arts education," said Virginia McEnerney, Executive Director of the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. "The exhibition gives visitors a body of top-notch art that we hope will inspire them to appreciate creative teens for their maturity, talent and originality."
This exhibit is amazing, and is well worth the trip to PNCA if you are in Portland!
Just being a nerd here and leaving the shutter open for 20 seconds on the camera while I write my name backward with a pen light. Yeah...I'm a loser.
