Tied-Up
by Julia Ramsey
ENGAGED is an installation that explores a modern woman’s ambiguity toward marriage. Two wedding gowns, two story lines, two slogans. IN THE AIR, a knitted dress of golden thread and tulle suspended above ground; TIED-UP, a crocheted gown bound in a web of ribbon and rope; two outlooks on the trappings of an age-old tradition…
This installation will be on view again at Vogue Knitting Live in NYC from January 14-16th 2012.

Notes"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget."Arundhati Roy

Examined Life, a documentary about contemporary philosophy. Immensely thought-provoking ideas-Here, each philosopher gets 10 minutes in a public setting to walk around and examine life through their own philosophical lens.
Filmmaker Astra Taylor explores the application of contemporary philosophy to everyday life by speaking with leading philosophers in settings that underscore the tangible relevance of their theories.

Notes"The starting-point of critical elaboration is the consciousness of what one really is, and is knowing thyself, as a product of the historical process to date, which has deposited in you an infinity of traces, without leaving an inventory. Such an inventory must therefore be made at the outset” - Antonio Gramsci"(Source: concentrationconcentrate)

Notes"Even in the face of powerful structures of domination, it remains possible for each of us, especially those of us who are members of oppressed and/or exploited groups as well as those radical visionaries who may have race, class, and sex privilege, to define and determine alternative standards, to decide on the nature and extent of compromise"bell hooks…need i say more
