Farmwork is simultaneously a philosophy, an art practice, a community project, and a way of life. For more information about farmwork, you can read about the farmwork project, summerwork workshop, and a new class at the University of Wisconsin. You may also want to browse the photo and video gallery to see some examples of work created in association with farmwork.
Douglas Rosenberg will be teaching a new seminar at the University of Wisconsin Art Department entitled Identity, Ritual and the Allure of the Local ( ART 908, Section 4 ). In this class he will be teaching a theory and practice related to the farmwork project.
You can find out more about the class here.
The Trans conference will take place in Madison, WI October 19-22.
This conference takes the transsubstantiating challenge of the trans in Transdisciplinarity, Transgender, Transethnic, Transart, and Transracial not just as its theme but also as its point of departure. How might the cultural and political processes of the trans in transplanting, transmitting, transculturating, and transferring mark not only hybridizing crossings but also the forging of structural transformations?
In addition to several compelling lectures & keynote speeches, the conference will also include an exhibition at the Ironworks space in Madison. Included in the Exhibition are Summerwork participants Douglas Rosenberg, Marina Kelly, and Kate Hewson. Visit the Exhibition Blog for more info.
