Visual Art: Michael B. Platt, 5 Nov - 31 Dec 2010, Joyce Gordon Gallery

Joyce Gordon Gallery Newsletter Joyce Gordon Gallery proudly presents Things Left Behind Michael B. Platt 05 November - 31 December 2010 Opening Reception: Friday, Nov. 5, 2010 5:30 - 9:00 pm With a performance by Carol A. Beane Images holding the essences of memory; biding time, waiting, celebrating... barely discernible stories of who was here and what happened there; visions of imagined spaces-layering time within abandoned, unoccupied and frequently dilapidated interior rooms and exteriors; there is always something.  - Carol A. Beane For the past five years Michael Platt's imagery has centered on the transformation of the human spirit that occurs when it confronts imagined or actual events and circumstances.   Using the female figure, he creates images intended to express traces of the human spirit, often inspired by spaces with a history and the presence of things left behind. Empty spaces are as much storytellers as those filled with living.  Exploring the visual possibilities of such circumstances, Platt has addressed issues of slavery, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the levees, waiting, searching for home; and celebration. About the artist, Michael B. Platt For the last decade Platt has been exploring the possibilities of digital imagery in prints, and in his collaborations with poet Carol A. Beane which have yielded artists' books + broadsides.   Recipient of the 2007 Franz and Virginia Bader Foundation Grant, Platt's work is nationally and internationally exhibited and collected.  It is in the permanent collections of, among others, the Smithsonian American Art Museum; the Corcoran; the Yale University Art Museum; Hampton University Museum, the David C. Driskell Center for Visual Arts and Culture of African America and the African Diaspora; the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture; and the Print/Photograph Collection as well as the Rare Books and Special Collections of the Library of Congress.  Platt teaches digital photography and digital printmaking studio at Howard University.

Public Notice Posted: 25 Sep 2010 09:23 AM PDT Your pet would love you even more if you worked for Nestle Purina. Take a look at their entry level opportunities so that you can take the first step towards making that happen. What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words “fiscal responsibility?” It’s probably some old guy droning on like Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Oddly enough, Ben Stein actually has been writing on such a topic lately. But rarely do you hear young people getting worked up about deficits and national debt. Though if you think about it, Ben Stein probably won’t be around anymore when the time comes to pay the bill. You will. I’m extremely worried about how the economic policies of today are going to affect our generation’s career choices over the next 20 to 30 years. That’s why some recent television advertisements for a website called BankruptingAmerica.org have caught my attention. The site is run by a Virginia based non-profit organization called Public Notice, which identifies itself as “dedicated to providing facts and insight on the economy and how government policy affects Americans’ financial well-being.” Start Working So You Can [?] Someone Else’s Debt Public Notice is quite obviously a politically motivated organization, and it’s unclear where they get their backing from. I wasn’t able to find much background information on the organization, but here are the executive director’s Twitter and LinkedIn profiles. You’ll probably want to do some more research on your own, and it will likely you lead you to some excellent viral content that they’ve developed. There’s the television ad that caught my attention: And there’s also a video called “REAL or FAKE: Can you tell which of these government spending projects are real or fake?”: The organization certainly seems to be using social media in an effective way, which is good because they are an awareness focused organization. If you care about our nation’s debt as much as I do, and you are all about new media, then you should check out Public Notice’s Jobs page. Right now they’re looking for a Managing Editor of Online Media which doesn’t sound like an entry level position, but I think a new or recent grad could do very well in it. Links to Help You Begin Your Research ThePublicNotice.org Jobs at Public Notice About Public Notice Public Notice’s Projects Public Notice News What are your thoughts on fiscal responsibility?

Cynicism could easily rule the roost, especially were One to feel somehow obliged to remain comfortably inside this familiar aviary of ours, its wonderful intricacies and resplendent manicure deftly concealing its humble origins as a humble safe deposit box. We need to re-institute a fiscal separation between consumer-based revenues (operating incomes) and investor-based revenues (capital liquidity).  The former should not be made available for commercial banks to lend, since it has a much greater power when used to smooth out the booms and busts of the business cycle. It seems a distasteful privilege of the investor-serving executive management to convert operating incomes into capital liquidity (share dividends), discounting the hard work of humans as not on par with the dance of debt-swollen dollars.  And with the barest of nods to one another, a sleight of hand  across the firm's P&L deviously demonstrates blatant disregard for and irresponsible disservice to the over-arching value, that is 80% dependent upon the daily production revenues a result of the daily group effort by supervisors, administrators and employees. Companies need to enable democratic decision-making and to enforce fiscal responsibility, simply accomplished by managing two separate and distinct revenue streams (double bookkeeping), investor-related and consumer-related, with two divisions responsibly directing each half.  Boards, C-levels and Executives can be expected to responsibly direct for the former with expectations of bonuses and continued employment, whereas Supervisors, Administrators and Technicians can be expected to responsibly direct the latter with expectations of naturally profitable, long-term and secure employment that strives to ensure worker and product is as efficient, safe and cost-effective possible. It would seem, that if a machine can earn a steady 10% or more investing in the stock market, then perhaps IBM is right:  Set the ERP on autopilot, and let's get that long-deserved Golden Age's progress moving forward already!  One tires of T-9 mysteries.  Christopher Land Technology Activist Email delivery powered by Google Google Inc., 20 West Kinzie, Chicago IL USA 60610
