In truth, didn't the states, acting individually, secede from the Articles of Confederation, and over a period of several years accede to the union under the U.S. Constitution? (Not many think about this, but it's true.) What about this being "the land of the free?" The founders insisted on protecting the right of property, because they believed that if a person didn't have the right to own property, and to be secure in their ownership of that property, they weren't truly free.

]]> Regional > North America > United States > California > Metro Areas > San Francisco Bay Area > Travel and Tourism > Lodging {EUROPE > NEWS AND MEDIA} - Adrian Searle goes to the Turner prize with young critic Tim Davies: The room I cannot leave http://articles.world-of-newave.info/regional/europe/united-kingdom/news-and-media/adrian-searle-goes-to-the-turner-prize-with-young-2008128431.htm http://articles.world-of-newave.info/regional/europe/united-kingdom/news-and-media/adrian-searle-goes-to-the-turner-prize-with-young-2008128431.htm Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:07:25 GMT I am an A-level art student, which means I have a sketchbook, which I am expected to fill with ideas, notes and drawings - drawings of other artists' work as well as my own. But I often find myself writing mini-reviews of everything I stick in it, whether it's a scrap torn from a magazine or a photocopy from a book. Recently, I've started to realise that writing about art is just as much fun as actually creating it; the two things definitely inform each other. I am lucky enough to be part of what I think of as the Tate Modern Generation - teenagers who have, for a good eight years, been able to see modern and new art at a cost of nothing. I don't live in London, but I love the Turbine Hall commissions, the large permanent collection, the cool, minimalist interior. Not everyone feels the same way, of course - plenty of my friends don't - but I'm pretty sure it's inspiring a future generation of artists and designers. My favourite painting there is Meryon by Franz Kline: what looks like a few spontaneous brushstrokes is actually the result of rigorous reworking; it's hard to comprehend how you can make something so beautiful using only two colours. A couple of weeks ago, I went to see the Turner prize exhibition at Tate Britain with the Guardian's art critic, Adrian Searle. Predictably, Charles Thomson of the Stuckists had already written it off, saying: "The work is not of sufficient quality in terms of accomplishment, innovation or originality of thought to warrant exhibition in a national museum." Adrian proved a much better guide.First, we looked at Goshka Macuga's work, which confronts you as soon as you step inside. Her sculptural pieces look like bike racks and handrails, and wouldn't be out of place at a German airport. Adrian told me they were, in fact, commissioned for this year's Berlin Biennial, and made from designs by Lilly Reich, the German modernist and lover of architect Mies van der Rohe. Collages of work by Paul Nash and Eileen Agar adorn the walls, walls that have been gently licked by elegant strokes of grey; this suits the sharp lines and precise shapes of the sculptures. In the next room, Cathy Wilkes had installed I Give You All My Money, a scene featuring toilets, mannequins wearing horseshoes, and half-eaten bowls of porridge sat on supermarket conveyor belts. It's not exactly Sainsbury's on a Sunday morning. Adrian and I agreed this was a very difficult piece. All the ephemera around it made it even more puzzling: the abandoned pram, the glass bowls with baby spoons suggesting motherhood; the batteries inserted into jars of Bonne Maman jam, perhaps pointing to an idea of the strength of the family unit. There was something mundane about it all: you go to the shop, you buy the food, you feed it to your child, you leave the washing up. Runa Islam's work here is all film-based. I don't really know much about video art, but Adrian told me about some of the techniques artists use - the importance of the speed and direction in which a camera moves; the way background colour can influence the way you perceive a video, in the same way as a painting or photograph. In Islam's wonderful film, Be the First to See What You See As You See It, a woman wanders around a gallery pushing tea sets slowly to the floor; the green walls recall a Good Housekeeping magazine from decades ago. (It might just be the fact that they both use tea cups and small containers in their work, but for me there were echoes of Wilkes' installation here.) Islam made me want to go away and experiment, to buy a vintage Super 8 camera and a whirring projector.Mark Leckey, the only man on this year's list, has produced a lot of work, and a lot of ideas. There is a small model of his studio, a short film featuring Jeff Koons's 1986 sculpture Rabbit, and a series of slides showing a circular mirror and some kind of stuffed animal. A strobe light flickered underneath the carousel slide projector to simulate the effect of a film; Adrian pointed out the tiny light mounted on the plinth.Who would I like to win tonight? Macuga: her work was the most varied, and I liked the way it interacted with the gallery environment. Looking at the Turner exhibition with Adrian is something I will remember for the rest of my life. What did I learn? That you can home in on the minutest of details - a rosebud, a panning shot - and then build towards an overall understanding of a work; that amazing art doesn't need to be a painting or a sculpture - it can be an installation or a video. I also know that art has become a perpetual passion - a book I can't put down and a room I can't leave.?

Critics believe such a move would make it too risky or expensive to proceed with a coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth, Kent, and up to seven others, unless the technology has been proved to work.Jeff Chapman, chief executive of the Carbon Capture and Storage Association, said with enough government financial support there could be partial trials by 2015 and full capture in 2020."We've talked the talk, now it's walk the walk time," he said. Under the climate change bill, which received royal assent last week, Britain set the world's first legally-binding target to cut emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. The climate change committee will recommend interim targets up to 2022, taking into account both the 2050 target and the EU's pledge to reduce emissions by 20-30% by 2020. Friends of the Earth has urged the committee to ask for a 40% cut by 2020.The report, Building a Low Carbon Economy - Britain's Contribution to Tackling Climate Change, will set out a transformation of Britain's economy, including widespread reliance on electric energy for homes and industry, and to power transport. Electricity generation is likely to be based on renewable energy, nuclear power and coal with carbon capture.The committee will suggest what proportion of cuts can be "bought" as credits for overseas carbon-reduction schemes, and how the interim targets should be increased to account for emissions from aviation and shipping.An interim report this year estimated the cost of meeting the 2050 target would be 1-2% of GDP. Ministers are due to respond to the full report in March.The report comes as international talks on a climate change treaty resume today in Poznan, Poland. The negotiations aim to set the stage for a deal in 2012 on global warming to succeed the Kyoto protocol, which needs to be agreed by this time next year at a meeting in Copenhagen. Insiders say the Poznan talks are not expected to produce a breakthrough, as negotiators will wait for the new US administration to declare its intentions.Yvo de Boer, executive secretary of the UN climate secretariat, said the Poznan meeting was not likely to be "exciting" but important progress could be made on issues such as how rich countries help the developing world cope with the impact of climate change."The whole issue of adaptation needs to be taken off the back burner and receive a lot more serious attention," he said. The talks could also work out a way to pay tropical countries to protect their forests, as a cost-effective way to tackle rising CO2 emissions despite fears from green campaigners that a lack of land rights could see the money diverted.The Poznan talks follow a meeting in Bali last December where countries agreed to formally negotiate a new treaty. Analysts say it needs to be agreed at Copenhagen for it to come into force by 2012.De Boer said: "I think it is important that countries in Copenhagen reach a political agreement that is a response to what scientists tell us need to be done."Andy Atkins, executive director of Friends of the Earth, said: "Over the next two weeks [Gordon] Brown's government will shape an international deal that could settle whether we conquer climate change, or let the planet cook.

The show completed its first year of Boingsistence on October 2, 2008 (remember our very first day back in 2007?), and we've spent some time in recent weeks thinking through new things we'd like to explore, and how to stay nimble and consistently fresh during a time when many online video shows are, to be frank, having a rather hard time of things. Here's what we're doing. Each MONDAY, we'll post a brief update of goings-on around the mothership blog, hosted by me, including iChat Video or Skype interviews with folks we've blogged about recently. Kind of a fast news update, and a way for us to keep you in the loop on things that Cory, Mark, Pesco and I have posted here on Boing Boing that have taken on a life of their own. We're posting the first one of these momentarily (yeah, I know it's Tuesday, but we're kicking things off today.) UPDATE: Here's our first Boing Boing tv Weekly Update episode! TUESDAY, expect a Boing Boing Gadgets item. We're producing a bunch of short electronics/tech stuff reviews from Joel Johnson, and we hope to include BB Gadgets co-editors John Brownlee and Rob Beschizza, soon, too. WEDNESDAYS, we'll feature stuff from Brandon Boyer and crew at Boing Boing Offworld, the games blog we launched yesterday. Check out offworld.com for a hint of how this will feel: gaming seen through a wide lens that encompasses the art, culture, and human experience of gaming, not just a buying guide. THURSDAYS, we'll continue to bring the engaging original programming that we love to produce, and you, our audience, seem to love just as much. We?ll keep bringing you reports from around the world; mini-documentaries about tech and culture topics with me, the other Boingers, and other brilliant people around the world (Kyle Glanville doing coffee treks in Brazil, Joi Ito galavanting around in Tokyo, Sean Bonner hunting monsters, Monochrom herding inebriated Vikings, John Behrens and the Omega Recoil Tesla Coil builders); and all the other brain exploding material we have yet to find! FRIDAYS? The return of the Unicorn Chaser. This will surprise and delight you. It will be super awesome. You will thank us all weekend long. So, that's the plan. And on behalf of my Boing Boing partners, a very special THANKS to everyone who made the first year of Boing Boing tv possible, including, but not limited to, and in no particular order...current crew members and alumni Derek Bledsoe, Rob Bergsma, Keith Carunida, Dana Devonshire, and Wesly Varghese; our jungle-dwelling consigliere and creative consultant Jolon Bankey; our production advisor Matt West of DECA; DECA co-founders Michael Wayne and Chris Kimbell, and the entire staff and management team of DECA, George Ruiz at ICM; our attorney Rob Rader of MSK; the good folks at Creative Commons and the EFF, to Sarah Milstein, and the teams at Castfire and Episodic, our sysadmin Ken Snider ("The Man in the Jeffries Tubes"), and the management and sales superheroes at Federated Media -- John Battelle, Chas Edwards, Bernie Albers, Jason Weisberger, Mugs Buckley, Neil Chase, Jennifer Tamez, James Navin, Josh Mattison, Jackie Mogol, Alison Marino, Jason Ratner, Mac Delaney, Lester Lee, Leona Laurie, Matt Jessell, Sacha Lien, Cindy Murphy, James Gross, Ivan Kanevski, Liam Boylan, Eric Amsden, and Jonathan Schrieber. A very special thanks to the many friends who've contributed talent to the show, including John Hodgman, the MAKE (event and magazine) folks, Johannes and the team at monochrom; Matt and Hiroko, Todd Lappin; Bill Barminski; Syd Garon; Russell Porter; Eddie Codel, Jason McHugh, Charis Tobias, Adam Koford, EBOY, Mister Jalopy, and many others. Thanks to the guys at Virgin America, Apple/iTunes, and YouTube, for help with distribution. And much gratitude to Boing Boing tv's past and present sponsors, including: Intel, Dell, Samsung, Verizon, Microsoft, Crowdfire, Toshiba, BMW, IBM, T Mobile, Amazon, Adobe, SanDisk, and JCPenney. [gasps for breath]. Also, God, and our moms. Thank you and good-boing....
