Candy Chang - Before I Die (2011-ongoing)
It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you. After Artist Candy Chang lost someone she loved very much, she thought about death a lot. The project is helped clarify her life, the people she wants to be with, and the things she wants to do, but she struggled to maintain perspective. She wondered if other people felt the same way. So with help from old and new friends, she painted the side of an abandoned house in her neighborhood in New Orleans with chalkboard paint and stenciled it with a grid of the sentence “Before I die I want to _______.” Anyone walking by could pick up a piece of chalk, reflect on their lives, and share their personal aspirations in public space.
This participatory public art project is expanding to countries around the world, including Kazakhstan, Mexico, Italy, Australia, Portugal, Argentina, and beyond! Visit the project website beforeidie.cc for more info and watch artist’s TED talk about the project. Follow the Before I Die project on Twitter and Facebook.

BONE LIBRARY Sarah-Jane Norman
An evolving work by indigenous Australian performance and installation artist Sarah-Jane Norman, bone library considers the living essence of so-called “dead” languages.
For 3 days, the artist will inhabit a room in the Think Tank where she will set about the task of hand-engraving a complete dictionary of the languages of the Gadigal and Cammeraygal people, the lost pre- Colonial languages of the Sydney region, onto the prepared bones of sheep and beef cattle. The bones of these totemic beasts of European pastoralism are repurposed as vessels of tactile “memorial”, forming the basis of a layered and haunting reflection on the tension between western taxonomy and its modes of preservation, and the more visceral terrain of cultural grief.
As the culmination of Bone Library, artist Sarah-Jane Norman invites you to a special ceremony. Following the live inscription of bones across SPILL Festival, the artist invites audiences to become temporary private trustees of the collection – individual bones will be relinquished into the temporary care of individual audience members, who agree to hold them until such time as the complete collection is recalled. This will take place in the context of a handover ceremony, conducted with the blessing of community Elders.

olafur eliasson moves 100 tonnes of ice to copenhagen to visualize climate change photos by group greenland ‘as an artist, I am interested in how we give knowledge a body. what does a thought feel like, and how can felt knowledge encourage action? ice watch makes the climate challenges we are facing tangible. I hope that people will touch the inland ice on city hall square and be touched by it. perception and physical experience are cornerstones in art, and they may also function as tools for creating social change. we are all part of the ‘global we’; we must all work together to ensure a stable climate for future generations.’ — olafur eliasson

"Dance of the Witches in Front of Chicago Federal Building, Oct. 31 1969."
Discovered this amazing feminist group called, “Women’s International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell” or shortly entitled, “W.I.T.C.H” while reading about the Weathermen the other day. They mixed street theater and protests which usually included witch costumes and chanting hexes.
I’m really surprised Tumblr doesn’t talk about this group more so you can read a little bit more HERE.
“WITCH lives and laughs in every woman. She is the free part of each of us, beneath the shy smiles, the acquiescence to absurd male domination, the make-up or flesh-suffocating clothes our sick society demands. There is no “joining” WITCH. If you are a woman and dare to look within yourself, you are a WITCH. You make your own rules.”
What a time to be alive.
Witches - the true medieval feminists.
In the spirit of the season here is some artistic inspiration brought by W.I.T.C.H.

Amen.
