Yoshihiko Ueda

Yoshihiko Ueda was born in Hyogo, 1957.  After graduating  from the Visual Arts College, Osaka, he studied under Masanobu Fukuda in 1980 and Taiji Arita in 1981, and started on a freelance basis from 1982.

Traversing the spectrum of photographic categories, from landscapes to nature, portraiture and still life, Ueda’s work is laden with mysterious and often abstracted subjects, small gestures of ambiguity underpinned by a continued aim of the ‘persuit of the whole.’ This pursuit has a deep significance within Ueda’s oeuvre; it intimates his search for the ‘whole’ body and its environment, its very essence and energy. As much as his practice resists compartmentalisation, what is evident is this very process of tracing and topography, of navigating the terrains and forms of bodies and their environment.[text from  https://www.michaelhoppengallery.com/artists/98-yoshihiko-ueda/overview/]

Lmao how is this real, "the ambient sounds of the world were wrong, sir"

Imagine paying Columbia-amounts of money to be taught by someone with kindergarten-level art literacy. Like, motherfucker, the wholeass point of 4’33” is to emphasize how every performance of live music is inextricably linked to the ambient sounds of the context in which it is performed!!!!!!! Paying attention to and thinking about the context of the performance is the point of the song!!!! If the point was to hear birds chirping and people walking, John Cage would have fucking recorded that instead. Insisting that art is only good when contains good things and makes you feel good things is baby-level art criticism. How the fuck is this dude a professor.

Actually I’m not done going off yet. This pisses me off so much. How can you teach the humanities and be so obstinately ignorant? Like bruh, if the chanting outside makes you feel uncomfortable and upset, maybe you should take about four and a half minutes to contemplate why you feel that way. During that time, you might consider things such as: why are there students chanting? What are they protesting? Why do they feel so strongly about this issue that they’re willing to disrupt their lives to bring attention to it? Should I also feel as strongly? Should I be protesting with them? Is my desire for silence more important than the students’ desire for justice? Why do I find the noise they’re making more upsetting than the genocide they’re protesting?

Being like “loud noise make me angy 😠” is so fundamentally incurious and baby-brained it’s honestly unbelievable

HETEROSEXUAL CIS-PEOPLE LOOK HERE

Snaps my fingers at you as you scroll past this post

Look at me. Listen.

I'm not the best at serious posts, but that article up there reminded me of how important it is that people like you stand up for us. So hold on while I try to get this out of my mushy end-of-work-day brain.

We could fight this fight ourselves for decades trying to reach the equal laws, gender affirming trans healthcare that doesn't have a 2-5+ soul-eating years of waiting time, medical care with equal knowledge of lgbtqia+ bodies, and, what is often forgotten, inclusion in the little everyday areas of life like our way of speaking or things being set up or designed with the existence of queer people in mind.

But you joining in could get us there so much faster.

The power you have as a hetero cis person is that you set the standard for what is seen as the average way of treating us among other hetero cis people. You have been given the power of deciding what's "normal" and I'm begging you to use it.

Richard Green is a great example of to what extent your actions can help our situation, and smaller ways of support still add up to a great impact on society, and could make the days of the queer people you interact with.

Educate yourself before you speak up, but don't be silent.

to all the cis ppl reading this right now, remember what OP said. you've been given the power of deciding what's "normal." use it. please.

omg

This has been in my queue for months.

$122,000. And the thing is so shodily designed that the accelerator can become that easily stuck. It isn't even all one piece.

$122,000. That's more than my entire household income, and we're 3 adults with full-time jobs.

If you gave that $122,000 to Feeding America, that would provide over 1 million meals.

That's $122,000 more than Tesla paid in taxes.

I need to stop leaving things like this in the drafts because I could not tell you what book this is BUT thankfully the call number is a little visible in the beginning of the video so I was able to figure it out.

The Cave of Spleen by Aubrey Beardsley (1872 - 1898)

The Magic Sword of Power, complete with jeweled scabbard, appeared in the 1961 film Snow White and the Three Stooges, where it was mostly worn and wielded by Guy Rolfe as Count Olga. In the 1966 first-season episode of Batman, The Joker is Wild, the piece appeared again, revealing that there are actually two identical daggers!
