In the grand scheme of things, this affects all of us so today I’m encouraging all of you to learn about and support Net Neutrality and to encourage the FCC Board, located below, to vote against a Tier System on the Open Internet on December 21, 2010.
SEALE of Approval; Affordable Housing and Historic Preservation

Critic’s Notebook: A Look at Art and Artists in Post-postmodernist Times.
On Saturday, November 20, the MAC presents Critic’s Notebook: A Look at Art and Artists in Post-postmodernist Times. The talk is based on research Gomez has been doing for a forthcoming new book of art-themed essays. He will discuss such themes as the legacy of postmodernist critical theory, the role of craftsmanship as a powerful, expressive language in art-making and the blurring of the aesthetic line between works made by academically trained artists and their self-taught counterparts.
