Reactivating ARTIUM’s Collection: The Time-Image and Its Mode of Address as Prosthetic Pedagogy in Museums

This article reflects on a curatorial and pedagogical research project to reactivate ARTIUM’s contemporary art collection (Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain) after a decade of acquisitions and institutionalization by seeking experimental involvement with difficult knowledge, through prosthetic pedagogy inspired in the time-image and paradoxical modes of address. Three moments of this project are discussed: (a) the selection and research of a number of artworks from the aforementioned collection; (b) the design of a museum space in ARTIUM’s Sala Este Baja; and (c) the activation of the exhibition space through a Laboratory of logics of vision

DETERMINING OPTIMAL BURNING SCHEDULES FOR IMPROVEMENTS OF MACARTNEY ROSE-INFESTED-RANGELAND UNDER CERTAINTY AND UNCERTAINTY

Macartney rose is a range management problem on approximately 500,000 acres of highly productive rangeland in southeast Texas. Roller chopping followed by prescribed burning is an economically effective treatment. However, there is a relatively high degree of risk associated with implementation of an effective burn. A methodology is developed to account for this uncertainty in a linear programming model designed to select optimal burning schedules. Model results indicate that consideration of uncertainty substantially affects net returns and optimal burning schedules. Low probabilities of successful burns produce law net returns and optimal burning schedules with frequent burning. Higher probabilities result in higher returns and less frequent burning

Virtues of violence: a testimonial performance or an affidavit of lies, excuses and justifications

The mediated moral panic about urban insurrections is a recent example of the ways insidious representations of violence are at once everyday and ideologically driven. The text of a performance lecture offers an intimate, embodied consideration of the problem of violence and its representations. The texts from each city (Athens and Istanbul) became scripts for presenting and representing the ways public and private; nation and terror; self and other are negotiated. We investigated the nature of violence in protests in both cities with the aim of presenting the findings through performance
