University fee hikes are a disaster for social mobility. The time for protest and escalation is now | Van Badham and Ben Eltham

Van Badham and Ben Eltham: Are Australian students not escalating protest because they don’t know how bad their situation will be? Perhaps they don’t realise how influential they can be

One more on proposed fee deregulation and the place of student protest.

Changing teaching and learning environments. Especially relevant on the day of Gough Whitlam's death.

"The Whitlam Government saw education as the fundamental ingredient for equity and opportunity in society, and it this was a core area of reform activity for the Whitlam Government. It was in this field that some of the Whitlam Government's most iconic reforms were enacted, including the abolition of university fees..."

Highly successful and original advertising campaigns: Save the Troy Library

http://vimeo.com/35758683

"Troy, Michigan couldn't afford to keep its library open, so it scheduled a vote for a tax increase. A strong anti-tax group waged a dominating campaign against it. Posing as a political group, we posted signs around town that said, "Vote to close Troy library Aug 2, book burning party Aug 5." We invited everyone to our Facebook page, adding Twitter, Foursquare, want ads, flyers and more to drive engagement. The campaign became international news as outcry over the idea of burning the library's books drowned out the opposition and galvanized support for the library - which won by a landslide."

Workshop from New Movement II

'On Sunday the 8th of May we held our first shoe fabricating session.

The workshop took place as a part of our exhibition ‘New Movement’ at MOP project space, which will be up until the 22nd of May. The workshop is ongoing also, with sessions scheduled for Saturday the 14th, Sunday the 15th of next week and then the weekend following. With this show we wanted to conduct a kind of ignorant investigation, where we would set ourselves a blunt, simpleminded question – what is currently moving? – and then try to answer it. Before we began we outlined a few parameters in order to condition the way we went about generating answers and to make sure that this conceptual rabbit-chase actually went somewhere: our method would be empirical, that is rooted in experience and observation; that we would try to put aside prior knowledge, experience, and opinion in order to begin from the very bottom of the subject; and, finally, that we would be working towards creating legible outcomes; images, text, video, sound, sight and other media that communicated not only the process, but it’s outcomes and consequences also. We imagined these workshops as a live-test and conduit for the goals of the exhibition. We had a strong sense that shoes were both practically and symbolically important to movement. In the workshop we would invite people to do something we could not teach and which we ourselves could not do – design and fabricate shoes. We hoped that by participating, people (ourselves included) would not only learn about conceiving and putting together a familiar object, but would also think about the whole situation of the shoe: what is required of it, the myriad of forms it takes, how it is produced, why it is produced in that manner, and finally how it might be otherwise.’

"So. Is it art, is it an ad, or is it porn—or is it a parody of porn? As Meyer writes, the image refuses to fit idly into either “a feminist critique of pornography or a pornographic critique of feminism.” Nor can it be reduced to either an artist’s critique of commerce or a commercial, cynical piss-take on contemporary art. To chalk up its iconicity to the picture’s original sin—its female-to-male transgressiveness—is tempting, but hasty and perhaps ahistorical."

A great photoshoot I stumbled back across looking at an old issue of The Gourmand. A food and culture journal, it has a highly visual editorial style alongside art and design articles and interviews.

The visual styling of the Measures of Quality photo editorial is particularly great, a good example of visualisation , albeit visualising the recipe for a whiskey sour.
