Tickets for the AS220 Print Lottery are $75, not seven dollars, because seven dollars could never get you a chance to take home some of the best printed matter and works on paper available in Universe! Sorry for the earlier miscommunication; I could blame: inferior L- exhibition pins, sleep deprivation, the humidity, too much coffee, but really its my shoddy typing skills, AND my super excitement at my chance of getting a sweet Nicole Chesney gold foil mono-print or maybe Brian Chippendale's "War on Self Reflection", or Ross MacDonald's "Hotdog eating a Hotdog" silkscreen & or a grab bag of stickers and prints from Philly's Space 1026, or ,or Meg Turner's elegant photogravure elegy, "Providence Produce Warehouse"...I could list 20 more prints off the top of my head that I would gladly take away from the AS220 Print Lottery at twice the price, but you get the idea. 200 of the of the finest Prints and Works on Paper by artists from RI and across the country. Please come on out & support the AS220 PrintShop & the great work of RI Printmakers all this month at AS220. cheers, Neal > > > The walls are bursting at AS220 this month with hundreds of prints. > In the Main Gallery the AS220 PrintShop benefit fills the walls with > prints and works on paper by 200 hundred local and national artists! > On Saturday September 27 at 7pm the Print Lottery begins!

Participants will assemble and solder the circuit themselves. Besides learning how to solder, we'll talk about how transistors work and the flow of information in circuits. We'll also touch on aesthetic issues related to microelectronics and mass production. Participants will leave with a fully functional, expressive musical instrument. All tools and parts are provided. Cost of parts is $25. Participants are limited to 20, so come early! Jessica Rylan is a sound artist and creator of the Baby Blue synthesizer. Her designs draw on the best of 1960's and 70's modular synthesizers, 1980's guitar effects pedals, multiple-feedback techniques (a la David Tudor), and circuit bending.

Yes, for years you have hidden your secret admirations for font faces, haven't you?! You have turned from the light of Monotype, ashamed of your adoration for a fine serif! Well, hide your secret steamy passions for type no longer! We have lifted the rock to uncover many more of your species, many more kindred spirits who can understand your clammy-handed fever each time your eye caresses the gentle slope of an italic descender! Come tonight to be revealed unto a glorious exposition of typographic specimens! A fine treat, indeed! The event at the library will end promptly at 7:30, but the party will continue under the roof of the AS220 Community Printshop at 95 Mathewson St on the second floor.

This week: 1910 Charles Davenport creates the Eugenic Record Office FREE A Panel Discussion of significant, yet underappreciated dates of the 20th Century. This week: 1910 Biologist Charles Davenport creates the Eugenic Record Office An American prelude to Nazi Germany or prototype of the Human Genome Project?perhaps both? Eugenics was a global movement popular in the United States at the turn of the last century. Proponents believed that knowledge about hereditary genetics could be used to cultivate better human beings. They promoted ideas like ?fitter family? contests, government- supported sterilization, and laws prohibiting anyone who was "epileptic, imbecile or feeble-minded" from marrying. Eugenicists were suspicious of groups they feared posed a threat to the purity of the native-born stock. Bad people, right? Not so fast. Although eugenics inspired some of Hitler?s most deplorable actions, many progressives, religious leaders, and academics initially endorsed the movement. In the past though, right? Again, not so easy?how about our current interest in using gene technology to make decisions about who should and shouldn?t be born? Isn?t this a form of engineering the future? Eugenics in the context of history, science, culture, religion, philosophy, and politics ? the idea of normative and links to today's search for genetic perfection.

"The Asphodel Meadows is where the souls of people who lived lives of near equal good and evil rested. It essentially was a plain of Asphodel flowers which were the favorite food of the Greek dead. It is described as a ghostly place that is an even less perfect version of life on earth. Some depictions describe it as a land of utter neutrality. That is, while the people are neither good nor evil, so are their lives treated, as they mechanically perform their daily tasks. Other depictions have also stated that all residents drink from the river Lethe before entering the fields, thus losing their identities and becoming something similar to a machine." http://www.myspace.com/onemanmachine http://www.myspace.com/animalelectricxxx http://www.myspace.com/chacachaca http://www.myspace.com/ MANY THANKS!
