"Lucid and indispensable guides to the history and practice of American Empire."
—Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine
"They have few rivals and no betters in analyzing the relations between politics and economics, between globalization and American power, between theory and quotidian reality, and between crisis and political possibility."
—Doug Henwood, editor and publisher , Left Business Observor
Panitch and Gindin offer a fresh, monumental rethinking of the development of global capitalism, with the U.S. imperial state at its center. Their highly original analysis of the first great economic crisis of the twenty-first century highlights the faultlines emerging across the capitalist system and the potential for new political movements. Leo Panitch is Canada Research Chair in Comparative Political Economy in the Department of Political Science at York University. Sam Gindin is Packer Visiting Chair in Social Justice at York University.
"Combining the ferocity of investigative reporters, sophisticated skills in interpreting
the historical archive, and a profound grasp of theory, Panitch and Gindin provide
an astonishingly illuminating account of the making of global capitalism through the
organization of a global financial system under US hegemony since World War II."

With one of the most in-depth collections of Lebbeus Woods's works in the world, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is the perfect museum to host a retrospective of the architect's career. And after his passing last October, now would be the perfect time for such a retrospective. But the reason and the timing for 'Lebbeus Woods, Architect,' which opened on Feb. 16 and runs through June 2, are purely coincidence. Co-curators Joseph Becker and Jennifer Dunlop Fletcher had been working with Woods on the exhibition before his death, as it was to be the last one in the 1995 Mario Botta building before Snøhetta and EHDD begin work on an expansion. To Becker and Fletcher, Woods represents everything that SFMOMA's architecture and design department stands for: exploring architecture's possibilities as an agent of change and societal exploration. "The potential for architecture is really limitless," Becker says. "It's a larger idea than the city, than the building you sit in, than the glass that keeps you inside as opposed to outside. It's this latent feeling of 'what-if.'" One-hundred-and-seventy-five of Woods's drawings that explore that what-if will be on view, as well as 13 of his models. We talked to Becker about what it was like to work with Woods, and how the exhibition has changed since his passing—now to say more about architecture at large than just about architecture at SFMOMA.
When did you start working on the exhibition? Last summer, which made for a very compressed timeline for an exhibition. SFMOMA was about to close for an expansion and we really wanted to do this show with Lebbeus [before then]. At the time, he was alive and we were working directly with him.
Why this subject for your last exhibition before the expansion started? His work occupies a really important part of our collection and design. It was a good moment to put works on view that had been collected by the past four curators. It was a good opportunity to state that SFMOMA's collection of architecture and design is really focused on the questions that architects can pose and the potential of architecture to challenge our perception and our environment. Lebbeus's work has always been about the what-if, but in a very real way: What if we just change a couple things, can you suppose that that would change certain social normative conditions, or hierarchical conditions, or spatial conditions?
At what point in the process did you lose Woods? He passed away right in the middle. We had planned on perhaps doing an installation with him, but then the exhibition shifted. It's now really devoted to drawings and models. That's the bulk of his career, though he did do a number of spatial installations through exhibitions. Now the exhibition is very focused on key projects from the past 30 or so years that deal with certain recurring themes and also show an evolution of his focus.
Do you think that the exhibition will now have a retrospective feel that it might not have had before? A lot of people who don't know his work are going to discover it. There has been a lot of attention on his career in lieu of his passing that brings this exhibition a little bit more to the forefront. It's an interesting challenge in that we have to present highly conceptual and theoretical architecture to a public that's varied in its degree of understanding. The goal is to cater both to people who are already familiar with Lebbeus and his projects and to go more in depth, but to give a very approachable presentation for people who don't know anything about him.
SFMOMA as a whole is very committed to presenting really engaging projects, but specifically, within the department of architecture and design, we've always been focused on the more experimental and the more conceptual and visionary architecture works. It's not necessarily about what is just good design out in the world, but rather what projects might ask larger questions or have a larger tie-in to the speculative universe. Our department was established in the early '80s, and since then, we've focused on the hypothetical, the critical. Not only through architecture, but also through industrial design. It blurs the line often of what we would traditionally consider starchitecture and the practice of the architect. We're establishing the fact that Lebbeus Wood is an architect even though there are no built buildings to his name. That's kind of what we've established within our department, to present projects that challenge the notion of what is and what is not [architecture.]
How do you explain to visitors who don't know Woods how we was an architect, though he never built anything? That has to do with the questions your work is attempting to ask, questions of space and usage and functionality. What does architecture do? What does architecture do for humanity? What are its shortfalls? What are its potentials? Even without building something, he's [Woods is] engaging within the process of architecture, the discourse. As a professor for so many years at Cooper Union, he was able to inspire generations of architects in thinking about what questions to ask and how to answer them. It's not that he never built anything, it's just that he never built a building. But when you think of an architect, you think of an entire building envelope. The built form … might have inhibited him from ever wanting to build a building. It would always be constrained by the rules within which we live, and he was proposing something beyond that: What if we didn't have to deal with gravity? What if we didn't have to deal with government agencies? What kind of architecture would that reveal?

Know Your Lore: The Watchers of the kaldorei
Kaldorei society and rank has always been complex. Queen Azshara had her court, the Highborne represented the upper reaches of society, and those chosen Highborne were magic users of particular skill and prowess. On the other end of the spectrum were the Sisters of Elune, kaldorei priestesses who were dedicated to the worship of the moon goddess Elune. And somewhere in between were the druids, primarily male kaldorei who followed Malfurion Stormrage after the War of the Ancients and Sundering were over, eventually founding the Cenarion Circle.
In between them all were the Watchers, a group established after the War of the Ancients that survives to this day. Not only has it survived, it's apparently thriving enough that some of these Watchers will be making an appearance in Warlords of Draenor. While the depth of their appearance and how much they will be contributing to the new expansion's story remains to be seen, it's worth it to take a look at this organization, how it came to be, and perhaps the most notorious Watcher of them all -- Maiev Shadowsong.

738 comments:
Oh, what a great charm pack. I'm in love with charm packs right now. I have so many ideas in my head right now of patterns I would love to design, but it seems that the quilt stores near me haven't gotten into the charm pack fad yet.
My most recent, favorite quilting project was the bento box top that I just made... I had been dying to make one.Oh, I love that Arcadia fabric! Such an awesome giveaway!
My current favorite project is the thrifted linen zigzag quilt I'm working on. Hope that link works - it's my first time trying a link in a comment!- CassieMay 27, 2009 at 7:56 AM
I've been meaning to buy some Arcadia ever since I saw your quilt. Would love to attempt something like it.
ReplyDelete I love love love your arcadia quilt. And that charm pack is delish!
I'm not (yet) a quilter, but I'm addicted to making blouses and little girls' dresses out of men's dress shirts. Hopefully, the one I'm working on now will come out like this:
http://jezzeblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/shirt-to-blouse.htmlI love the Arcadia line! And I love your quilt! Thanks for an amazing giveaway. I have started a baby quilt/playmat in Wonderland fabric (following a tute from Moda Bake Shop), and you can see it in its very preliminary stages here: http://lfinndesigns.blogspot.com/2009/05/wonderful-wonderland-work-in-progress.html.
PS-I am bookmarking your binding tutorial--Yay!This is so much fun! I'm sorry I don't have picks of what I sew, but I have a ton of what I knit/crochet. Here is my favorite project so far:
I'm glad to have stumbled across your site from SMS. I have been looking for a tutorial for a diaper clutch. I am going to try it out soon!- RoseMarieMay 27, 2009 at 9:30 AM
I haven't seen a quilt like that before; nifty idea! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDelete Oooh, I'm a huge Moda fan, their colours really speak to me! Gosh, will I ever be lucky enough to win a Moda give away???
My favourite quilt right now is an unfinished one - I'm trying to decide on a backing, but the top is almost done: http://cuttingedgequilt.blogspot.com/2009/04/spring-quilt-top-done-yay.html I like it because it's so springy!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

One of the true legends of cinema has sadly left us.
Marlon Brando, regarded as one of the 20th Century's finest actors, died in a Los Angeles hospital from lung failure. He was 80.
"The actor Marlon Brando passed away yesterday, July 1, at 6.30pm (11.30am AEST Friday) at the UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) Medical Centre of lung failure, according to his doctors," hospital spokeswoman Roxanne Moster said.
The reluctant star had lived for years as a recluse in his hilltop home in Los Angeles and, despite his huge professional success, was reportedly in serious debt when he died.
In recent times, he was apparently getting by on welfare, screen actors guild pension payments and small residuals.
Brando, who had been ill for nearly a decade and basically kept to himself, will be sadly missed by his peers. "Marlon would hate the idea of people chiming in to give their comments about his death. All I'll say is that it makes me sad he's gone," said Francis Ford Coppola, who directed him in 1979's "Apocalypse Now".
James Caan, who starred alongside Brando in "The Godfather", said "He influenced more young actors of my generation than any other actor. Anyone who denies it never understood what he was about. I loved him."
Some of Brando's most memorable films include "On the Waterfront" (1954), "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1951), "The Wild One" (1954), "The Godfather" (1972), and "Superman" (1978).
Marlon Brando was a giant of cinema that will be sadly, sadly, missed.

A game series by CING. You play as Kyle Hyde, an ex New York cop who now is a door to door salesman. Hotel Dusk is the only title available in America. Last Window saw a European release, but nothing in the US.

I love these games. The story, the art, the characters....everything in my opinion is done superbly. The gameplay is not for all, with it's detective style questioning and conversation sequences, but, they are not hard to navigate.
Has anyone else played these games?

quote:In my choices I am assuming the Saints drop a game or two before the season is over, and don't win the division. So I am rooting against all the teams with 4 or 5 losses.
quote:I'm saying that IF the Saints want to make the playoffs, they HAVE TO GO 6-0 AND get some help. Anything less would result in missing the playoffs, IMO.
quote:I say root for Chicago to lose, Green Bay to win and win that division. Chicago may go into a tailspin and fall all the way from wildcard grace completely. Then there would be two potential wildcard spots for us to try to climb up to.
quote:minny has Chicago and GB twice, and houston thrown in there with the rams. the bears have it a bit easier with minny twice, seattle, lions, GB, cards. which is why I chose them over minny. eta: and minny has 4 road games. chicago has 3.
quote:Again, a Chicago tailspin is good news for the Vikings, who are a game ahead of us. It's going to be difficult to surpass Chicago, even with a tailspin. Plus we really want Chicago to beat Seattle.
quote:I think Minnesota collapses too. I would love to have 2 spots to play for.
quote:Detroit is 4-6 so a loss today would basically eliminate them. That's one less team we would have to worry about.

Freebird Circles Quilt
You just might remember these blocks I started putting together at a quilting retreat a couple months ago? They are now part of a finished quilt. woo!
I can not take any credit for the awesomeness of this quilt. It was designed by my friend and co-worker, Sharon, at the shop where I used to work, American Quilting. She put this quilt together using lots of fabrics from one of my favorite recent fabric collections, Freebird by Momo. (Which actually, now that I think about it, came out almost 2 years ago. Wow, time flies!)
I rarely buy kits (mainly because I have enough fabric as it is to make a kajillion kits of my own) but I decided I couldn't pass up this one. All the strips were pre-cut and I knew I could whip it up quick. And I got a discount. :) I bought this kit over a year ago and sadly, they are long gone.
Here is the back. Once again I pulled the backing yardage from the stash and added a few left over blocks. I have more blocks yet that are left over, so I think I'll make them into a little table-runner.
The quilt size is only about 60" x 60". I debated making it bigger, but decided to keep it the size it was. It's a perfect lap quilt (I'm sitting under it right now as I type this post) or table topper. I like the colors a lot. They don't clash with my Christmas stuff (so I can leave it out during the holidays), but at the same time, there's nothing really Christmas-y about it so it doesn't need to be only used at Christmas time.
I think my favorite part is the big dotty fabric in the center. The quilt was machine quilted by my friend Monica. She outlined all of the dots which really makes them pop, especially now that the quilt is washed and dried. Kind of makes them all look like they were appliqued on. Isn't that tricky?
I also love how the circle quilting looks on the back.
Felt good to have a quick new project to kick off the new year. Also felt good to finally finish another UFO (un-finished object) that was sitting around giving me a guilt trip.
