For centuries women and artists of color have had little voice in history and the art world. Today the art world is slowly accepting these artists and they are getting to tell their part of history.

Clojure is a new language that combines the power of Lisp with an existing hosted VM ecosystem (the Java VM). Clojure is a dynamically typed, functional, compiled language with performance on par with Java.
At the heart of all programming lies the need for abstraction, be it abstraction over our data or abstraction over the processes that operate upon it. Clojure provides a core set of powerful abstractions and ways to compose them. These abstractions are based in a heritage of Lisp but also cover many aspects of object-oriented programming as well.
This talk will examine these abstractions and introduce you to both Clojure and functional programming. Attendees are not expected to be familiar with either Clojure or FP.

DALLAS MUSEUM OF ART CRITICAL / GALLERY REVIEW
“Painting is a state of being….Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.”
Jackson Pollock (1912-56)
I chose to write Part 1 of the Museum Critical Review about “Portrait and a Dream” by Jackson
Pollock (1953). The contemporary artwork is very large, but not uncommon for Pollock, measuring 58
½ x 134 ¾ inches with oil and enamel on canvas as the medium. The artwork was observed by myself
at the Dallas Museum of Art on October 25, 2014 in the Marguerite and Robert Hoffman Galleries on
the 1st Floor. The image on the right side of the canvas has been interpreted as Jackson Pollock's
self-portrait, perhaps partially obscured by some kind of mask. A similar face appeared in numerous
drawings Pollock created over the years, which many critics have suggested relates to his
experiences with Jungian analysis, a branch of psychiatry that regards some symbols as universally
present in the human subconscious. On the left, an image of a sketchily painted reclining female figure
may embody the "dream" of the painting's title. (1)

In Portrait and a Dream, Pollock experiments with the figure yet retained the freedom of line and
composition he perfected in his abstract work. He said part of this "dream" denoted "the dark side
of the moon". Pollock’s painting is a diptych on a solid white ground. The left-hand side is an
abstract black and white drip painting; the right-hand is a figural self-portrait, attacked with color,
and carefully drawn. This may relate to the historical association of symbolic visual imagery with
Jungian thematic. Analytical psychology, or Jungian psychology, emphasizes the primary importance
of the individual psyche and the personal quest for wholeness. (2) To me, this is very reminiscent of
the Classicism Greek art with it’s since of perfection in the human body. Within the elements of art,
I can visually observe shape, form, value, lines and curves, color, space relating to the background and
foreground, and if you view it closely you can see the artwork has texture from the thick paint on
the canvas. Referring to the principles of art, I observed movement, harmony in the all over lines
style of painting, variety in the use of color, symmetrical balance between the 2 figures on the
canvas, and repetition.
“Me, Sommer Taylor, Being Jackson Pollock”
Like hundreds of artists since the early Renaissance, and probably from even before then, the true
meaning of Jackson Pollock’s paintings is not made apparent for the average art lover because, like
difficult poetry and even Christ’s teachings, it is hidden from the masses behind the colorful and.

13. The David, portrayed in the Bible as a
young shepherd who slew the giant Goliath

Hebrew king, is a fit symbol of courage and
civic duty to guard the city of Florence.

19. The Broken Column was painted
shortly after Kahlo underwent spinal
surgery. She depicts herself bound
and constrained by a cage-like
body brace. A cavern of missing
flesh violates the integrity of her
body, exposing a broken column in
place of her spine. The column
appears to be on the verge of
collapsing into rubble. Metal nails
pierce Kahlo’s face, breasts, arms,
and torso, as well as her upper
thigh, hidden behind a swath of
cloth. Tears stream down her face.
Set in an open landscape, the

24. Paul Jackson Pollock, known as
Jackson Pollock, was an
influential American painter and a
major figure in the abstract
expressionist movement. He was
well known for his unique style of
drip painting.
Total physical involvement of the
artist defines this "action
painting." Pollock spread canvas
on the floor in his barn studio, or
on the ground outside, and then
splashed, dripped, and poured
color straight from cans of
commercial house paint. It was
essential, he said, to "walk
around it, work from all four
sides, and be in the painting,
similar to the Indian sand
painters of the West."
25. Transforming everyday activities such as eating, bathing, and
sleeping into ways of making art, Janine Antoni’s primary tool for
making sculpture has always been her own body. She has chiseled
cubes of lard and chocolate with her teeth, washed away the faces
of soap busts made in her own likeness and painted the floor with
hair dye using her own head and hair like a brush.
26. Photo taken from Loving Care performance
Performance wasn't something that I intended to do. I was doing work that was about
process, about the meaning of the making, trying to have a love-hate relationship with
the object. I always feel safer if I can bring the viewer back to the making of it. I try to do
that in a lot of different ways, by residue, by touch, by these processes that are basic to
all of our lives...that people might relate to in terms of process, everyday activities—
bathing, eating, etc.

27. "Lick and Lather," detail, 1993
7 soap and 7 chocolate self-portrait busts, 24 x 16 x
13 inches each
"I wanted to work with the tradition of self-portraiture
but also with the classical bust...I had the idea that I
would make a replica of myself in chocolate and in
soap, and I would feed myself with my self, and wash
myself with my self. Both the licking and the bathing
are quite gentle and loving acts, but what’s interesting
is that I’m slowly erasing myself through the process.
So for me it’s about that conflict, that love/hate
relationship we have with our physical appearance,
and the problem I have with looking in the mirror and
thinking, ‘Is that who I am?’"
- Janine Antoni
