Raciality :: onetwentyeight gallery nyc

Reception: Friday, August 14th, 6-8 with a Panel Discussion* commencing at 6:30 pm Gallery Hours: Wednesday - Saturday 1-7 pm and Sunday 1-5 pm onetwentyeight​is excited to present Raciality​. What is the racial reality of life today? It does seem to be a different experience if you’re black rather than white in this country. It does seem this way. But we are just one race - The Human Race. We speak as if we are all different races - black, white, red, yellow, brown. Yet, these are mostly social constructs, artificial creations that keep us divided. What if we were among a race of alien beings(“uchujin”)? What is some day we find ourselves in touch with beings from different universes and different realities? How would we explain ourselves? First, we would identify as human, no? Regardless of the color of our skin. And the reason it is so hard for many to do that today? Raciality.

"An assault on democracy": Thursday @guardian front page with former Le Monde editor Natalie Nougayrède #CharlieHebdo

hyp0 20 hours ago | link "Je n'ai pas peur des représailles. Je n'ai pas de gosses, pas de femme, pas de voiture, pas de crédit. ça fait sûrement un peu pompeux, mais je préfère mourir debout que vivre à genoux." - Charb, one of the murdered satirists "I am not afraid of retaliation. I have no kids, no wife, no car, no mortgage. It surely is a bit dramatic but I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees" - translation fromhttp://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/2rmgra/these_two_carto... reply

baby 20 hours ago | link note that everyone is quoting Charb on this, sometimes just quoting the "I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees" that is actually him quoting someone else: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Emiliano_Zapata reply

julie1 18 hours ago | link weired in my old greek lessons it was already said to be the motto of Athen. http://chs.harvard.edu/CHS/article/display/3824 Maybe Zappata went to school and studied the story of Athen? reply

burkaman 15 hours ago | link Did you mean to link to a different page? That one doesn't have anything like the Zapata quote. reply

majestic1211 13 hours ago | link There is not the Zappata quote, but it still seems relevant : "Finally, for the Homeric hero, aretê consisted of a set of qualities clustered around the readiness to fight a beautiful war and die a beautiful death." "preferring to die in their own land rather than live to dwell in that of others" reply

_almosnow 15 hours ago | link Cars and mortgages... the Greeks sure were really ahead of their time. Edit: Yeah sure, downvote me instead of the guy that is posting nonsense... reply

gouggoug 20 hours ago | link Some context for people wondering what this is about. Wednesday 7th, at 11am, 3 people entered "Charlie Hebdo" a very well known French satirical newspaper and shot 12 people with kalashnikov. Charlie Hebdo is also known, for their caricatures of the prophet Mahomet. "Je Suis Charlie" means, "I Am Charlie" and is a message of support to the newspaper. This is obviously a very short sum-up. reply

tribaal 19 hours ago | link Just a small precision (I am French and following media closely): - Two people assaulted the office, and killed 10, wounded 11 (4 of which considered critical). - They furthermore killed 2 police officers on their way out, one of them point blank as he lay wounded and was asking for mercy (do yourself a favor and don't look at that witness video. I mean it. NSFL). - They are on the loose and are reported armed with automatic weapons and a rocket launcher. No kidding. - Their car was found in a suburban ghetto (Pantin, in Seine-saint-denis) Sorry for the gory details. reply

arcatek 18 hours ago | link It's important to also note that they have killed four of the main illustrators of the paper. It will be very hard for them to overcome that. However, the others french papers are trying to help the redaction, so maybe Charlie will live. reply

sacado2 16 hours ago | link It will probably survive, actually. Many people will buy the journal in the next few weeks, even if they never read it before. There are many talentuous cartoonists that can help for a few months if needed. And even without that, how could the French government let that journal fail in the next weeks ? It would be a very negative symbol; that would mean "they" won. reply

jknz 20 hours ago | link People are going in the streets to support the newspaper in France and other European cities, a map is available here: http://www.leparisien.fr/faits-divers/carte-interactive-tous... A noticeable fact is how mainstream newspapers in France are careful not to make the amalgam between these few barbarians and a whole religion. reply

Emiliano Zapata

I want to die a slave to principles. Not to men.

Emiliano Zapata Salazar (8 August 1879 – 10 April 1919) was a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution against the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz which broke out in 1910.

• • I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees.
    • As quoted in Liberation Theologies in North America and Europe‎ (1979) by Gerald H. Anderson and Thomas F. Stransky, p. 281; this is sometimes misattributed to the more modern revolutionary, Che Guevara, and to "La Pasionaria" Dolores Ibárruri, especially in Spain, where she popularized it in her famous speeches during the Spanish Civil War, to José Martí, and toAeschylus who is credited with a similar declaration in Prometheus Bound: "For it would be better to die once and for all than to suffer pain for all one's life." The phrase "better that we should die on our feet rather than live on our knees" was spoken byFrançois-Noël Gracchus Babeuf in his defence of the Conspiracy of Equals in April 1797. In French it read, 'Ne vaut-il pas mieux emporter la glorie de n'avoir pas survecu a la servitude?' but transliterated this bears no resemblance whatever to the quote under discussion. see: The Defense of Gracchus Babeuf Before the High Court of Vendome (1967), edited and translated by John Anthony Scott, p. 88 and p. 90, n. 12.
  • Spanish variants:
  • ¡Prefiero morir de pie que vivir siempre arrodillado!
    • I'd prefer to die standing, than to live always on my knees.
      • As quoted in Operación Cobra : historia de una gesta romántica (1988) by Alvaro Pablo Ortiz and Oscar Lara, p. 29
  • Variant translations:
    • Men of the South! It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!
      • With an extension, as quoted in Timeless Mexico (1944) by Hudson Strode, p. 259
    • I would rather die standing than live on my knees!
    • It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!
    • I prefer to die standing than to live forever kneeling.
    • Prefer death on your feet to living on your knees.

• La tierra es de quien la trabaja con sus manos.
  • The land belongs to those who work it with their hands.
    • Quoted as a slogan of the revolutionaries in Shirt-Sleeve Diplomat (1947) Vol. 5, p. 199, by Josephus Daniels, and specifically attributed to Zapata by Ángel Zúñiga in 1998, as quoted in Mexican Social Movements and the Transition to Democracy (2005), by John Stolle-McAllister

• Ignorance and obscurantism have never produced anything other than flocks of slaves for tyranny.
  • Remarks in regard to Pancho Villa, as quoted in The Unknown Lore of Amexem's Indigenous People : An Aboriginal Treatise (2008) by Noble Timothy Myers-El, p. 158

The Last Book, Chromebook 13 a Wilton Manner, Ft Lauderdale Area, FL December 2014

A Creative(s) guide to understanding the meaning and provenance behind the Alterism Movement in Fine Art and Mass Communications.

Is this Art Purposefully Created to Effect Change?

Semantics Evolve, Technologies Expand and New Text(Art) Create a Mimesis. Immersionism, Gonzo Journalism, Micro-Blogging, Social Networking and Method/Character Acting Layer into a textured impasto on digital canvases.  Short-Form text and New Media image capture become a remembrance of Art Happenings, Performances and Movement Studies.

a Bit Depth, November 2014 for Chromebook 12 a Bit Depth,  Plainfield, NJ

The Conceptual Art Movement's Idea driven mechanisms' form the foundation of Alterism.   The human form is merely a vessel to an Alter Artists.  The Alterist Person and/or Form becomes No More or Less Precious than the rarified physical objects, art and artifacts which our worlds civilizations have held in great esteem and even declared priceless.

Marshall McLuhan utilized Mass Media and Computer age Philosophy along with popular news to confused, confound and eventually change the way people perceive media.  In a similar fashion Alterism utilizes the subversive nature of popular (Americanized) journalism and works within the mass media machine in accordance with a system of Sense Memory triggers and the Affective Memories they produce.  Alterism takes it's cues from Social Branding and Marketing techniques which have become quite ubiquitous.  It also employs the same Propaganda, Rhetoric and Guerilla Tactics Current Governments frequently to control the dissemination of information.

Alterism and the Artist's Alters or Online Ego and SuperEgo (The ID) appears fictional or riddled with false realities. It is however an existential and mimetic way of portraying how we live and struggle through our many worlds.

Shiva Dancing at the Ivory Tower, Chromebook 12 a Bit Depth Chapter 1, North Plainfield Area, New Jersey, November 2014

"Becoming whomever I choose whenever I feel it will most effectively communicate my deeply personal perspectives seems outrageous to most. Ironically, the very catalyst for my art and the system and processes created to support the inherent concepts formed organically. Basically i feel that acting is reacting and the whole world, physical and digital, is my stage. A rational verbal or expressive (art) response to irrational non-verbal communication can be defined as Autonomic Response."

Jersey barrierS, Chromebook 11,JerseybarrierS, Plainfield, NJ, November 2014

"I hope to effect change and help society realize just how inappropriate and impolite society becomes whilst ignoring the vital 80% of human communication (Non-Verbal).   I have lived many ways and seen many things, even putting my own freedom and life in jeopardy.  However somewhere along the tiring endless journey  I have personally found my, WAY.  If living my life as an open book can someday help one person than it can cause a Revolution."  -D S Pollack aka Chase Alias, Holden Vance III and Bryan "Cubby" Brent

Meet Cubby, Chromebook 6, Evil Daddies of Fairfield County, Norwalk, CT June 2014

1. A completely ignorant, childish person with no manners.

Glow 1, Chromebook 1. Basehouse 2005-2009,. Black Rock, CT

2. A person who feels justified in their callow behavior.

3. A pubescent kid who thinks it's totally cool to act like a moron on the internet, only because no one can actually reach through the screen and punch their lights out.

That boob is behaving like a bloody git.

Urban Dictionary: Git

Git (software)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Git (/ɡɪt/^[5]) is a distributed revision control system with an emphasis on speed,^[6]data integrity,^[7] and support for distributed, non-linear workflows.^[8] Git was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development in 2005, and has since become the most widely adopted version control system for software development.^[9]

As with most other distributed revision control systems, and unlike most client–serversystems, every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version-tracking capabilities, independent of network access or a central server. Like the Linux kernel, Git is free software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.
