Hey everyone!
I'd like to introduce you to the new artist in residence at AS220 for the
month of September... Mary Tremonte! She is a printmaker who works with
youth through an arts program at the Andy Warhol museum in Pittsburgh, Pa.
 She is also a member of the Justseeds/Visual Resistance Cooperative that
I am also a part of, so you can check out her art at:

http://www.justseeds.org

We will have a meet and greet this Thursday night, at 6pm (September 4th).

Please come down to the AS220 bar and introduce yourself!
Thanks so much!

Hey Dreyfus and Empire artists and Residents,



I am trying to set up a group of artists that want to bring works in
progress and ideas to a group with hopes of receiving constructive
feedback and inspiration, {perhaps monthly?}.  My medium is drawing and
printmaking and I could benefit from receiving other people's thoughts
outside of my own circle.  I don't know if there already is an official
AS220 crit group that does this already (which in that case I will
check out), If not lets take a stab.



As a Dreyfus resident I am looking to get more of a dialogue between my
neighboring artists.  I think the lack of a Dreyfus communal space and
conflicting schedules make it hard to connect with your surroundings.

Hey everyone,
I received an email yesterday from a woman named Joelle who is planning a
downtown student event to welcome the college students and introduce them
to some local organizations.  AS220 was asked to be involved, so if anyone
would like to go to this event and represent for AS220, and maybe bring
calendars? let them know.  Maybe this could qualify as volunteer hours. It
seems the deadline to reserve was the same day they sent out this call
out- yesterday.  Thanks!
Meredith

Let me know if you guys want to get involved!

The Providence Foundation is partnering with the CW28 and WBRU to
welcome local college students back to Providence for the Downtown
Student Experience!  We are planning the event on Saturday, September
13th, when students are settling into their classes for the fall
semester and are ready to explore the city.

We're finalizing our plans for an afternoon of information-sharing, live
music and free activities at the Bank of America City Center, and we
want you to get involved! Please consider setting up a table and/or tent
to share information, distribute non-alcoholic drinks, hand out coupons,
etc.

We're going to promote the program to all the local colleges through
press releases, emails, poster and postcard distribution, radio and TV
commercials, and some limited print advertising.

Please email:  <mailto:jcrane at provfoundation.com>
jcrane at provfoundation.com or call: (401) 621-6122 if you'd like to get

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY

National Call for Action to Stop Police Brutality at the Republian
National Convention!

 Support 300 people arrested in Saint Paul! Demand an end to illegal
detention and brutality in Ramsey County Jail!

9/3/08, St. Paul - Approximately 300 people have been arrested for
participating in demonstrations since the beginning of the Republican
National Convention.  The majority of arrestees remain in custody and are
being held in inhumane conditions.  Of the 300 arrested, approximately 120
have been accused of trumped-up felony charges by police; many of them are
being held  illegally beyond Minnesota's 36-hour limit on detentions
without formal charges.

All people who value democracy and fear for the erosion of our
constitution, regardless of political affiliation, are called upon to
demand an end to this egregious denial of constitutional and human rights.
Prisoners have reported being denied medical treatment and essential
medications, and many are engaged in a hunger strike to pressure the
sheriffs to give them critical care. Many are being held in 23 hours/day
lockdown and/or have not been allowed to meet with lawyers or make phone
calls ? especially trans prisoners.  Several prisoners have been able to
reach legal support to report brutal physical assaults by multiple
corrections officers.  The constitutional and legal rights of all
prisoners are being denied across the board, with no apparent end to this
outrageous treatment.

Please call the following offices and continue calling until all arrestees
have been released:

St. Paul Mayor ?  Chris Coleman (651.266.8510)
Head of Ramsey County Jail ? Capt. Ryan O'Neil (651.266-9350 ext 1)
Ramsey County Sheriff ?  Bob Fletcher (651.266.9333)
County Chief Judge Gearin (651.266.8266)

Demand the following:
Immediate medical attention as needed for ALL arrestees;
That the prisoners who haven't given their names (Jane & John Does and
Jesse Sparkles) have access to group meetings with a lawyer in jail;
Dismissal of all charges;
Release of all minors; and
Ensure trans prisoners have access to phone and attorneys, and are held in
gender group of their choice.

Donate!
Money is needed to help cover legal costs and get people out of jail.  Any
amount you can give is greatly appreciated.  To donate by Pay Pal visit

For more details and up-to-date information about jail conditions and
prisoner status, please see:

special typographic event! Discover the Typographic Treasures of the  
Providence Public Library's Special Collection with Arley-Rose  
Torsone, AS220's Design Providence Art Director and Richard Ring,  
Special Collections Librarian and historian!

treasures of the Providence Public Library! Rick and Arley will pull  
out especially gorgeous specimens of typographic deliciousness that  
will have you dreaming of ligatures and fleurons for nights to come.  
Previous knowledge of type isn't necessary. This is a casual event and  
all are welcome to come and share their knowledge about type design,  
or just be inspired. Come learn about type, the collection, the  
history of this inconspicuous craft... or just come to see some really  
pretty things that we think are really pretty! No pressure! and no  
pens! or food.... :) Feel free to bring a sketchbook and a pencil  
though!

Introduce yourself to a collection that will serve as a helpful  
resource for any Rhode Islander who is seeking fresh ideas for print  
design!

Meet other designers who adore the history and craft of type/book/ 
print design!

Feel free to pass this on to anyone who you think may be interested!


Contact Arley-Rose Torsone for more information: arleyrose at as220.org

hi  again and sorry.
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 blogs stopped because st. paul turned into a fucking police state.
 i got arrested on the first day for sitting in a park listening to a
concert from across the river.  they hemmed in the whole block and
arrested everyone in sight; EVERYONE.  Men, women, and minors.  Was
then in custody till thursday morning.  ACLU/National Lawyers Guild
are handling my proceedings; I'm in talks with them about what I can
and cannot write about, as it could effect my case.  This my first
time at a computer in days.  Will write better later.  This is what I
just wrote on the Strange Famous Records Forum:

"Quote:
just got to a computer; i was arrested on monday afternoon while
listening to the atmosphere set at the seiu benefit from across the
river, and was just released early this morning... thursday.
i'm out and safe. talking with lawyers. have kept detailed notes.
clarifying what can be posted without effecting my case.
will write more soon no matter what.
angrier than i've ever been.
they anty has been raised; they are arresting ANYONE for ANYTHING they
want, and making it harder to get out, and raising the charges, and
the fines, and the violence.
my head is spinning.
the story and blog series i set out to write has changed dramatically.
morale is high, but i am unable to process how i feel at the moment.

Hey yall, this what i posted earlier in the other thread not having
seen this one. I just got back from the Nader/Gonsalez
speech-fundraiser and I feel a thousand times better. I'm at the good
ole Hard Times Cafe in Minneap; dope vegan food, great music, free
wireless, stays open till 4am. Randomly met up with one of the friends
I got arrested with and lost after they discharged us at different
times and then refused to release our cell phones or wallets till
monday. If I didn't have so much support, I might still be in there. I
was hijacked and illegally taken into custody with my main
friend/contact in minneap... we got taken in with our other friend...
no access to any of our numbers, no way to get in touch with our
Minneap people. I always keep the ACLU's number on me at these things,
whether protesting or writing/reporting; my sisters was the only
number i could remember and it would have been very difficult or near
impossible for her to do this over the phone. Sean came over the hill
like the goddamned cavalry and didn't stop swinging till I was bonded
and released... I walked out of the county cage tunnel to a hero's
welcome; 200 strong in jail supporter at the ready with blankets,
food, and a phone. Sean was right there in the parking lot waiting for
me, after an entire day of phone calls, waiting on hold forever with
county, and supporting my sister in trying to track down my property.
Daley Express Rescue services then bought me Pizza Luce vegan
spaghetti and veggie balls, and drove me home. I couldn't have asked
for better. I felt like fucking royalty rescued from kidnappers.
Sincerely. I'm humbled, by that, and by this thread and the support
shown here.

Really.

All of you, although i'm only 5"5 and 145lbs, I normally feel 10 feet
tall and bullet proof. But not today. I've been arrested a bunch of
times doing this, and have seen alot of fucked up shit, but this is
the first time I ever came out feeling shook.

It's humbling and slightly embarassing. I feel so pissed, and charged
to continue even harder, but I've got alot to think about.

I know it's maddening for me to just post this little snippet while
there are so many questions to be answered. I'm here in this cafe
working on my notes right now. This is the first time i've had online,
at a table, to organize writing and ideas since sunday night.

I definitely wanna address everything that was discussed here, and
re-address my motives behind this project, overall direct action
philosophies, etc. will do as soon as i can.

Obviously thanks to Mr. Francis, B., Tom, Messiah, Phil, and everyone
who was down to help. It was quite an unexpected surprise to come here
and see this thread. SFR Fam: Jesus, reading this was a real boost in
a hard spot.

Message-ID: <21E516D1-F4DA-4452-97D1-7AE270996DAF@as220.org>

Hello!

	An exciting three weeks are on the horizon for the Printshop, its  
members and supporters.  I'd like to invite you to attend the gallery  
opening, today, Sunday September 7th from 4-7pm.  A year ago today the  
Printshop opened it doors for the first time at the Grand Opening.  We  
have put together an inspiring show of prints and works on paper that  
have been donated to the Printshop by artists and collectors.  These  
200 works will be "The First Biennial Print Lottery"!!!  Tickets for  
the Print Lottery Event are being sold for $75.  On the night of  
September 27th, ticket holders will blindly choose a number and that  
number will corolate with a print you take home.  It is important to  
note that your $75 is a donation to the AS220 Community Printshop, all  
proceeds will directly support the programing, staffing, equipment and  
space.  When deciding upon a model for this fundraiser the Keymembers  
and I felt it was important to keep the tickets accessible to the  
population we serve.  Our most popular workshop, Introduction to  
Letterpress cost $75.  Tickets are available in the Printshop, the  
AS220 Bar and online- www.as220.org/printlottery2008

	 But the Print Lottery is only one of the events this month.  Here is  
a brief summary of what we're whipping up!

Saturday, September 20th
Lecture
Supported though a grant from The Rhode Island Council for Humanities
5:30pm
Location: 115 Empire Street, Gallery/Performance Space

The AS220 Community Printshop is extremely pleased to announce that  
professor, scholar and printmaker Andrew Raftery will be joining us,  
along with Grehchen Wagner, Curatorial Assistant from the Department  
of Prints and Illustrated books from the Museum of Modern Art, on  
Saturday, the 20th of September, for two very special guest lectures.  
Andrew Raftery (MFA, Yale University School of Art), a printmaker  
specializing in narrative engravings of contemporary American life, is  
an associate professor in the department of printmaking at the Rhode  
Island School of Design. Raftery recently received a 2008 Guggenheim  
Fellowship, and will use the fellowship period to complete an  
engraving project he?s been working on for several years. The works  
will be exhibited in a solo show at New York City?s Mary Ryan Gallery  
in October. His work is in the permanent collections of the Whitney  
Museum of American Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Fogg Art  
Museum, the Yale University Art Gallery and the New York Public  
Library. ?I would like to talk about the power of the artist as  
publisher, first by defining self-publishing for the audience. Then I  
would like to trace a few highlights from art history including D?rer  
and his enforcement of his copyright against Marcantonio in Venice,  
Diana Mantuana and her use of the Papal Privilege to ensure the  
copyrights to her work and of course Hogarth?s lobbying for the act of  
parliament that created the first copyright laws for visual artists. I  
think these compelling examples can show how printmakers established  
their own agency within the larger culture. I would then like to talk  
about current practices in publishing and my own experiences as a self- 
publishing artist.?

  -and-

Gretchen L. Wagner (MA, Williams College) is a curatorial assistant in  
the department of prints and illustrated books at the Museum of Modern  
Art in New York City. Wagner has curated exhibitions at the D.U.M.B.O.  
Arts Center in Brooklyn, NY, the Tang Museum at Skidmore College in  
Saratoga Springs, NY, and the Williams College Museum of Art in  
Williamstown, among other institutions, in addition to acting on the  
programming and curatorial committees for WACK! Art and the Feminist  
Revolution and Greater New York 2005 at P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center  
in Long Island City, NY. ?In recent years, contemporary artists have  
taken printmaking into the realm of the super-size. Pointing to  
monumental works of past eras, such as Albrecht D?rer?s woodcut Arch  
of Maximilian I, artists practicing today have embraced the medium to  
produce sprawling installations and environments in the gallery with  
dramatic effect. Large formats have also allowed individuals to place  
their works in exterior and public spaces, far more expansive then the  
typical interior setting. Outside, the works often take on meanings  
with social and political resonance. Closely following these  
developments in the medium, The Museum of Modern Art has recently  
acquired several projects by artists working in this manner, such as  
Gabriel Orozco, Nicola L?pez, Nicolas Lampert, and Swoon, among  
others. This presentation will introduce some of these works, and the  
challenges involved in their museum display, as an investigation of  
this recent turn in printmaking and its impact on art produced in all  
mediums.?


Saturday, September 27th

My head is spinning, but morale is high.  The law collective
advocating on my behalf has cautioned against almost all blogging,
emails, or internet writing about the events surrounding my arrest, as
they could potentially affect my case.  I am allowed to say that the
charge has been lowered from felony riot to gross misdemeanor and that
police misconduct on that day, and throughout the whole ordeal, was
rampant, terrifying, and brutal in my opinion.

I'll be downstairs at AS220 tomorrow night from 7:30-9ish for very low
key Welcome Home Jared time.  Some folks from the poetry slam will be
coming by and I'll be available for hugs, high-fives, or to fill
anyone in on parts of the story they're curious about.

So, SOOOO good to be home.

love,

~J.

Subject: [everyone] help build a new playground in Elmwood -- today and
	Thursday
Message-ID: <1577.70.184.10.213.1220970394.squirrel@www.as220.org>

We've been asked the spread the word about a great community event
happening today and Thursday to build a playground on a vacant lot in
Historic Elmwood. They are looking for volunteers to help build and to
spend time with neighborhood children during the build.

Below is the email we received that explains the event in detail. For more
information, contact Rachel Newman Greene, rngreene at elmwoodfoundation.org,
or Doug Victor, doug.dance at juno.com.

________________________________

Dear Community Partner,

Please come help us build the Peace and Plenty Community Park in Elmwood!
Volunteers are needed for a ?community-built? playground project on
September 9th and 11th, 2008.  It will be you, your neighbors, community
agencies, and a total of 250 other volunteers, with food, entertainment
and good times for all.  Please come, and please spread the word!

On the 9th, we need folks who can do a little heavy lifting and use some
tools.  On the 11th, we need everyone, no matter what their abilities.

Here are more details:

The Friends of Peace and Plenty Community Park, in partnership with
CommunityWorks RI (formerly Elmwood Foundation and GENS) and the City of
Providence Parks Department, are extremely fortunate to have received a
playground building grant from KaBoom! and Home Depot for the creation of
a wonderful new community park and playground in North Elmwood.  By the
end of September 11th we will have a new playground for our community?s
children and a beautiful green space for our neighbors to gather!  The new
park and playground will be located at the corner of Peace and Updike
Streets (behind St. Joseph Hospital).  This is the culmination of
years of hope and work on the part of many neighbors.

We need to pre-register as many people as possible, so if you are able to
make it or want to find out more, please get in touch with me as soon as
possible.

Thanks so much for being great neighbors.  See you in the park!

-Rachel

For this very special event, we will be pulling up an ancient  
metaphorical rock to uncover a squirming colony of active creatures -  
which is to say that the "rock" is the downtown public library's D.B  
Updike Collection of Books on Printing, and the "squirming colony" is  
you! 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. Come for a tour of a living,  
breathing, working printshop!

Contact Arley-Rose Torsone with any questions, comments or concerns: arleyrose at as220.org 
  or (401) 854-6614.

Hope to see you there!

hey all
I have an iSight webcam that I bought a year and a half ago that I no  
longer need. since my iMac has a (spooky) built in camera in the screen.
I'd be happy to unload it for $50...I think it was $175 when I bought  
it.
I'd also trade it...I need a silk screened poster for an upcoming  
Superchief Trio gig if anyone wants to swap their printshop services.

Message-ID: <161B3940-AA6E-4965-B931-EF4B3D900525@harkenprods.com>

Hello again!

Sorry for all the e-mails this week but it's just a particularly busy  
time for HARKEN! Youth Media. We have a screening this Sunday  
afternoon (see below) at the Providence Latin American Film Festival.  
It will be a very interesting event including panel discussions with  
the participating youth from both Harken and Grassroots Garage.

Our youth have worked hard to produce two short documentaries on  
timely and critical topics: teen pregnancy and immigration.

Please come out and support them!

?



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


The Providence Latin American Film Festival is proud to announce its  
first ever youth media forum ?Youth Speaks? to be held September  
21st, 3:00 - 5:30PM at the RISD Auditorium 17 Canal Street,  
Providence, RI.

This event is FREE to the public.

Contact: Brown University (CLACS) at 401.863.2645 for further  
information.

Youth Speaks will highlight the work of  local youth media  
organizations including our very own Lights, Camera, Advocacy which  
is a collaboration between PLAFF and Grassroots Garage bringing you  
Got Babies?  a 35 minute look into the world of teen pregnancy. We  
open our youth media event with a screening of Let Freedom Ring (14  
mins), produced by the youth of HARKEN! Youth Media, investigating  
the issues of immigration and the Executive Order. Our closing film  
will be a montage by Sinnerman Productions (25 mins), an  
entrepreneurial film company headed by two young directors.

HARKEN! Youth Media?s  (HarkenProds.com) mission is to foster  
inquiry, critical thinking, creativity, and civic engagement, through  
video production with students who are economically and educationally  
disenfranchised. In addition, the program teaches students to decode,  
analyze and evaluate media and its messages while empowering them  
with technical and creative skills to tell their stories and become  
part of the national media conversation. Trained youth then work on  
professional projects for Harken Productions, Inc.

Grassroots Garage  (getvicramos.com)  combines education on social  
justice issues affecting young people today with media development.  
Participants are challenged to research, identify and brainstorm  
solutions to community health and economic issues. Youth then present  
their work to the community through video, radio, and/or other media  
items.

Sinnerman Productions (sinnermenproductions.com). Randy Herrera and  
Rafael Gutierrez, young entrepreneurs who at the age of 18 and 19  
respectively, have already registered an audiovisual production  
company that is currently working on a variety of films both  
documentary and dramatic, which they will be sharing with the  
audience that day.

All 3 screenings will be followed by a 20 minute critical issue panel  
discussion with the youth filmmakers.

Please join us for an afternoon that will make you proud of  
Providence youth!

Schedule of events:
3:00 ? 3:05    Opening Remarks

Subject: [everyone] From Venus Irving Prescott
Message-ID: <4DB0CF22-F829-4689-97CD-8F448286AB2B@as220.org>

For those of you who know and love Venus Irving Prescott (Camp  
Cabaret, living legend of the cabaret scene), she's holding this event  
on Sunday at RW Park to honor her friend who passed away who did a lot  
of programming at the park. It began as an idea for a memorial service  
but Venus wanted it to be a memorial PARTY and is open for anyone to  
come and share their own music, poetry etc. If you haven't had the  
pleasure of meeting Venus, why don't you head on down to the park on  
Sunday and see what sort of magic this woman can put together.

See info below:


Sunday, September 21st beginning at 11 am, there will be a fun-filled  
celebration of the life of a former Roger Williams Parks department  
employee, Patric Epstein.  It will take place at the Temple to Music,  
with singing, dancing, story-telling, poetry-reading and African  
drumming. It's a first of its kind event, and it is free. Come and  
bring the family.  If you would like to participate, as a performing  
artist, call (401) 461-4917 and ask for Maryanne or (401) 725-5671 and  
ask for Ms. Brown to sign up.  If no one is available, please leave  
your name and number and your call will be returned.  Tell your  
friends!!

"Guest Lectures with Gretchen Wagner, Curatorial Assistant from the
Museum of Modern Art's Department of Prints and Printmaker Andrew
Raftery

AS220 Gallery/Performance Space 115 Empire Street Providence, RI 02903

September 20th, 2008 6:30 pm

The AS220 Community Printshop is extremely pleased to announce that
professor, scholar and printmaker Andrew Raftery will be joining us,
along with Gretchen Wagner, Curatorial Assistant from the Department
of Prints and Illustrated books from the Museum of Modern Art, on
Saturday, the 20th of September, for two very special guest lectures.
Andrew Raftery (MFA, Yale University School of Art), a printmaker
specializing in narrative engravings of contemporary American life, is
an associate professor in the department of printmaking at the Rhode
Island School of Design. Raftery recently received a 2008 Guggenheim
Fellowship, and will use the fellowship period to complete an
engraving project he's been working on for several years. The works
will be exhibited in a solo show at New York City's Mary Ryan Gallery
in October. His work is in the permanent collections of the Whitney
Museum of American Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Fogg Art
Museum, the Yale University Art Gallery and the New York Public
Library.

Gretchen L. Wagner (MA, Williams College) is a curatorial assistant in
the department of prints and illustrated books at the Museum of Modern
Art in New York City. Wagner has curated exhibitions at the D.U.M.B.O.
Arts Center in Brooklyn, NY, the Tang Museum at Skidmore College in
Saratoga Springs, NY, and the Williams College Museum of Art in
Williamstown, among other institutions, in addition to acting on the
programming and curatorial committees for WACK! Art and the Feminist
Revolution and Greater New York 2005 at P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center
in Long Island City, NY. Following contemporary developments in
printmaking The Museum of Modern Art has recently acquired several
projects by artists such as Gabriel Orozco, Nicola L?pez, Nicolas
Lampert, and Swoon, among others. This presentation will introduce
some recent acquisitions of Moma's collection, speak to challenges
involved in the display of these artworks, and pursue an investigation
of recent trends in printmaking and its impact on art produced in all
mediums.

These lectures are an exciting part of print month at AS220,
celebrating the one year anniversary of Rhode Island's only public
community printshop. September's events will culminate in a
fundraising Print Lottery featuring 200 prints and works on paper, now
on exhibition in the performance space at 115 Empire Street.

This event is made possible through support from:

Rhode Island Council for the Humanities

CADE TOPMKINS EDITIONS"

Hey All

In case you didn't already know, I wanted to alert you to the opening  
of the Providence Latin American Film Festival this Wednesday night  
and running through sunday the 28th. There is quite a line-up of  
incredible films from a variety of Latin countries. You will most  
probably  never see these films anywhere else. If you are a true  
cinefile, you will enjoy the richness of the filmmaking in these films.

For more information and a schedule of films go to PLAFF.org

Hope to see you there!

I have put myself on music detail.

You can expect to hear all kinds of "good stuff."

(Have just updated the setlist.)

Should be a lot of fun.

Am indeed excited.

Don't have a lot of alchohol, though.

Also, it's a little chilly in here, and I'm back to smoking
cigarettes, so there's that.

	SLAM THIS THURSDAY
Message-ID: <ae6044600809231451h27fc386aidd377c88f2c95c88@mail.gmail.com>

Hey yall,

I'm working on the story of the RNC feverishly.  Part of the story
will be available in the Fall edition of the Agenda, and other places
in Providence.  Combing over what can and cannot be potentially
compromising to my case via blog has been quite a chore.

This Thursday's slam will be one of the biggest of the season.  I will
be telling some of the arrest story during the open mic, and our
feature, Roger Bonair-Agard, is just about the best in the business.
In my opinion, spoken word/performance art doesn't have anything
better than Roger.  The national performance art movement might have
some stuff that reaches that level, but certainly nothing that exceeds
him.  So... Arrest stories, one of the best features ever, the
official second youth slam of the season, and perhaps, special guest
political speaker to get us all suped for the Obama debate on
Friday...

It's gonna be a jumpin' show, and we'd love to see ya there!

If you're receiving this email, it means that you are one of the 409  
people who have crossed paths with the Printshop since we've opened  
our doors a year ago. Congratulations! Whether you know it or not, you  
have helped play an essential role in the growth and success of Rhode  
Island's ONLY community printshop!

We are proud of our accessibility (one of the most affordable  
printshops in the country!) and want to continue to provide this  
resource and environment for artists, printmakers and those who are  
venturing into the new territory of printmaking.  We cannot be the  
kind of community resource that we aspire to be without the support of  
the community.  We need you!

The printshop keymembers, AS220 staff and I have worked incredibly  
hard to put together a fundraiser that would be fun and rewarding for  
us and you. We could have just flat out asked for money, or closed the  
printshop until we reached our fundraising goal - BUT NO! Why torture  
you by denying you the valuable resource of a community printshop?  
We're not NPR!

By now, we hope that you've enjoyed some of the events that we have  
put together this month in celebration of the Print Lottery. Our last  
event - the MAIN EVENT, aka the PRINT LOTTERY, if you will - will be  
this Saturday, September 27th and time is running out to purchase your  
ticket! We only have about 50 tickets left, so now is your chance to  
win a work of art that is worth at least $75 or a *whole lot more*!!  
Not only is this an awesome art buying opportunity, but it is  
supremely the most helpful thing you can do in support of the  
printshop. When have you ever felt so good about buying art? All  
proceeds directly support the printshop. Yep, the printshop that you  
know and love. THAT printshop!

The Print Lottery is made up of 200 works on paper or prints that have  
been donated by artists or collectors who believe in what we're  
building and have given their support by giving their work. When the  
keymembers and I began to plan this event we knew that we wanted the  
tickets to sell for an amount that would be within the reach of those  
who use the Printshop regularly.  If you are able to purchase a  
ticket, you can do so at the AS220 Bar after 5pm daily or online www.as220.org/printlottery2008 
.  I realize these are tough economic times but if you can't swing a  
ticket, don't forget that you can support the Printshop just by coming  
here to print your work.  Everyone is invited to the Lottery, ticket  
or no ticket, so come celebrate this Saturday, September 27th,  6-10  
pm on Empire Street in the Main Gallery!

My thanks for your participation this past year,
Morgan

P.S. Drink Narragansett Beers this Saturday night and all your dollars  
will go toward the Printshop!!!

Message-ID: <5134429d0809240828o16463a88w6aed6dbbef935723@mail.gmail.com>

Dear AS220 Community,

As many of you may already know Edith Vargas, a member of our Broad Street
Studio community was in a  house fire,   suffered severe burns, she passed
away on September 10th. Edith was a senior at Feinstein high school, a
creative young lady with an interest in fashion she was a committed member
of our Sewing, Sisters and Visuals workshops. We will miss Edith and the
positive energy that she brought to the studio.
While still grieving the very recent loss of their daughter, Edith's parents
are in the middle of transitioning into a new apartment and are still trying
to cover the various expenses of moving and burial services. The Broad
Street Studio youth and staff are raising money to purchase a head stone for
Edith. Whether financially or otherwise, it is important that we make the
utmost attempt to aid the Vargas family in their recovery from this tragedy.
More than ever before, this is a time in which we are called to stand strong
as the community that we are here at AS220 and join forces together to
provide support for the Edith's relatives.

There is a jar on the bar on 115 Empire where cash donations can be made.

Donations in forms of a check can be written to Odilo Vargas and mailed to
the following address:

OK so by now, I assume that many of you (but maybe not Lucie?) are not  
voting for McCain. Thats ok if you are, you know, I'm not here to  
preach. I just wanted to let you know about some good folks over on  
Westminster who have a great little design studio and they've put this  
shirt together that you should buy, because not only did they:

1. design the font!

2. print them on "fair trade sustainable union made organic will last  
through the economic collapse" T shirts (ok they're american apparel,  
but whatever)

3. donate monies to the Obama campaign through the sales of this shirt

but they're fun, wonderful people and by now y'all know we're all  
about supporting THOSE kinds of people.

so take a look and buy a shirt!

***************************************************************

Action Speaks !

Action Speaks looks at contemporary issues through the lens of history  
by using underappreciated dates of the twentieth-century that have  
changed America.

Join host Marc Joel Levitt and guest panelists for some old-fashioned  
community exchange in the heart of downtown Providence?s arts and  
cultural district.

What?s race got to do with it?

The 2008 season of Action Speaks will explore the meaning of race in  
our contemporary American society. The theme is inspired by the Rhode  
Island Council for the Humanities? On The Road to Freedom initiative,  
which marks the bicentennial of the abolition of the transatlantic  
slave trade and celebrates the accomplishments made by individuals and  
organizations of African-American descent in Rhode Island.

Four evenings of Community Forums will take place at AS220's 115  
Empire St. Location from 5:30-7:00 pm and will also be broadcast via  
WRNI. Relevant documentaries will be aired on your Rhode Island PBS  
channel throughout the conference including "HIP-HOP: Beyond Beats and  
Rhythms", "Crossing the Line: Multiracial Comedians" and the three  
part series "Our Genes, Our Choices".

1910 - Racist biologist Charles Davenport creates the Eugenic Record  
Office at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
An American prelude to Hitler or to the Human Genome Project...perhaps  
both?
Wed, October 1

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.

Featured Guests:

Lundy Braun, Associate Professor of Africana Studies, Pathology and  
Laboratory Medicine at Brown University. Braun?s research focus  
includes the history of the global circulation of knowledge about race  
and technology in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as, race,  
genomics, and health inequality.

Wendy Kline, Associate Professor in the Department of History at the  
University of Cincinnati. Kline is the author of Building a Better  
Race: Gender, Sexuality, and Eugenics from the Turn of the Century to

1920  Prolific African-American filmmaker Oscar Micheaux releases  
Within Our Gates
Hollywood, race films and the production of African-American cinematic  
images
Wed, October 15

Oscar Micheaux is considered the most prolific Black filmmaker in the  
history of American cinema...he made forty-four feature-length films  
between 1919 and 1948. Micheaux founded his own production company in  
1918 to produce the film version of his 1917 novel, The Homesteader.  
It became the first full-length feature film directed, written and  
produced by an African-American. With his fifth movie, "Within Our  
Gates," Micheaux attacked the racism portrayed in the most highly  
acclaimed silent movie of all time, D.W. Griffith's "The Birth of a  
Nation." In it, Micheaux used the same lighting, blocking, and setting  
as Griffith to question Grifith?s racist portrayal of Blacks. His  
films offered audiences a radical departure from the 1930?s Hollywood  
portrayal of Blacks as servants and brought diverse images of ghetto  
life and related social issues to the screen for the first time. We  
will discuss African-American representation in film yesterday and  
today -- how does race play a role in films and entertainment? Event  
includes 6:30pm special screening at Providence Public Library  
Auditorium of Oscar Micheaux?s ?Within Our Gates?

Featured Guests:

Charles Musser, Professor of Film Studies and American Studies; Co- 
Chair, Film Studies Program; and, Director of Summer Film Institute,  
Yale University. Musser authored several books on the early history of  
American cinema. He co-edited Oscar Micheaux and His Circle: African  
American Filmmaking and Race Cinema of the Silent Era (2001) with Jane  
Gaines and Pearl Bowser.

Terri Francis, Assistant Professor, Film Studies, African American  
Studies, Yale University. Francis? specializes in the history and  
aesthetics of African Diaspora cinema, literature, and culture. Her  
current work is concerned with race, gender and cinema.

Don Mays, Assistant Director, Intercultural Studies, Roger Williams  
University. The Rhode Island-based independent filmmaker?s most recent  
documentary explores the history of the first Black regiment of  
soldiers who fought in America?s Revolutionary War.

1957 Dissent magazine publishes Norman Mailer's ?The White Negro:  
Superficial Reflections on the Hipster?
What's Black? What's White? What's Italian? What's Jewish? Are race  
and ethnicity a dance anyone can learn?
Wed, October 22

This essay by Norman Mailer recorded a wave of young white people in  
the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s who liked jazz and swing music so much that  
they adopted Black culture as their own. It was first published in the  
Fall 1957 issue of Dissent, and was later reprinted in Advertisements  
for Myself in 1959. Mailer?s so-called ?white negroes? were White  
American male bohemians who enshrouded themselves in Black clothing  
styles, language, and music while distancing themselves from White  
society. This movement influenced the hipsters of the 1940s, the beats  
of the 1950s, the mods of the 1960s, and the wigger of later decades.  
What is the connection between race music and dance -- including  
contemporary hip-hop culture -- to the music and dance of the White  
mainstream? We will discuss the way marginalized cultures often become  
models for those alienated from the culture at large and how Black  
culture has been stereotyped and altered in the service of others.

Featured Guests:

Joe Beats is a sampled based producer and performer from Rhode Island.

2000 The U.S. Census allows individuals to identify themselves as  
mixed-race
Tiger Woods, Barack Obama, and their American stories -- how checking  
multiple boxes on a survey helped redefine race in America
Wed, October 29

For the first time, citizens of the United States were not asked to  
define themselves by checking a single ethnic box in the census. In  
all of the census counts through 1990, an individual's race was  
supposed to be indicated by checking only one of the boxes presumed to  
correspond to the main social racial categories. Thus, there was no  
allowance made for multiracial identification, although the category  
"other" was recognized in the 1980 and 1990 census and on many local  
record-keeping forms. Advocates worked throughout the 1990s to rescind  
this ?one box? policy. This change will lead to a discussion of the  
demographics of hybridization and the hybridization of demographics at  
the turn of the 21st century in the U.S. and in the world. We will  
also look at the concept of race as a construct and the notion of  
racial purity.

Featured Guests:

Teja Arboleda, filmmaker, television producer, director, writer and  
entertainer and Entertaining Diversity, Inc. Arboleda?s documentary  
?Crossing The Line: Multiracial Comedians? looks at the relationship  
between humor and race.

Noel Igantiev, professor of American history at the Massachusetts  
College of Art and Design. He is author of How the Irish Became White.

Kimberly McClain DaCosta, Assistant Professor of African and African  
American Studies and Professor of Social Studies, Department of  
African and African American Studies, Harvard University. Her book  
Making Multiracials: State, Family and Market in the Redrawing of the  
Color Line examines how multiracialism emerged as a topic of public  
discussion in the last quarter century, and how ?multiracial? became a  
recognizable social category and mode of identification.

Maureen T. Reddy, Department of English, Rhode Island College. She has  
written extensively about race. Her books include Traces, Codes, and  
Clues: Reading Race in Crime Fiction, Crossing the Color Line: Race,  
Parenting, and Culture, and Traces, Codes and Clues: Reading Race in  
Crime Fiction.

Action Speaks !
Wednesday, October 1st 2008 5:30 pm
1910:  Racist biologist Charles Davenport creates the Eugenic Record  
Office at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
A discussion on the Eugenics Movement

Action Speaks looks at contemporary issues through the lens of history  
by using underappreciated dates of the twentieth-century that have  
changed America.  The 2008 season of Action Speaks will explore the  
meaning of race in our contemporary American society. The theme is  
inspired by the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities? On The Road  
to Freedom initiative, which marks the bicentennial of the abolition  
of the transatlantic slave trade and celebrates the accomplishments  
made by individuals and organizations of African-American descent in  
Rhode Island.

Join host Marc Joel Levitt and guest panelists for some old-fashioned  
community exchange at AS220's 115 Empire St. Location in downtown  
Providence 5:30-7:00 pm October 1st, 15th, 22nd and 29th.  Discussions  
will also be broadcast via WRNI and relevant documentaries will be  
aired on your Rhode Island PBS channel throughout the conference  
including:  "HIP-HOP: Beyond Beats and Rhythms", "Crossing the Line:  
Multiracial Comedians" and the three part series "Our Genes, Our  
Choices".

The first forum this Wednesday October 1st remembers the date 1910,  
the year Charles Davenport created the Eugenic Record Office at Cold  
Spring Harbor Laboratory.  Proponents of eugenics, a very popular  
movement at the turn of the century, 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 first forum's featured guests:

Lundy Braun, Associate Professor of Africana Studies, Pathology and  
Laboratory Medicine at Brown University;  Braun?s research focus  
includes the history of the global circulation of knowledge about race  
and technology in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as, race,  
genomics, and health inequality.

Wendy Kline, Associate Professor in the Department of History at the  
University of Cincinnati. Kline is the author of Building a Better  
Race: Gender, Sexuality, and Eugenics from the Turn of the Century to  
the Baby Boom

Diane B. Paul, Professor Emerita in the Political Science Department  
at the University of Massachusetts Boston, where she directed the  
interdisciplinary program in Science, Technology, and Values.

Hey everyone!

Are you a resident looking to fulfill your volunteer hours? Or just a  
local chap looking for a good time? Well, have I got the thing for you!

We are looking for someone to distribute calendars around town. Yes,  
it will take a few hours, and yes, the boxes aren't light, and YES you  
will receive a free month of admission to AS220 in return!

We've got the October calendars that need to get out ASAP, so please  
let me know if you have some time around the early part of the week  
(yes this week) and we can work something out. You'll probably need a  
car for this job, but we'll supply you with a list of places to drop  
off some calendars.

Thanks in advance!

See you!
-Arley (your friend)
