A new documentary titled "Maintenance Artist" highlights Mierle Laderman Ukeles’ radical, caring approach to public art. It premieres this weekend at Tribeca Film Festival.

NEW PUBLICATION OUT NOW #OpenAccess :“TRANSMISSIONS, DECISIONS, DISCOURSES” (with @DannicaFleuss)
Our paper proposes a #conceptual & #methodological framework for assessing “communicative flows” in democratic systems: How to study diverse forms of (diverse) #democraticinnovations #impact on #policymaking (over time)?

#ThrowBackThursday to the first #BrokenBody shoot I did in photoschool when we started with conceptual photography. The beginnings were in an artschool application some years before though.
Friederike, #Kiel 2010
A thread on a little #Conceptual #Art #History, with a touch of #Ambient music and #Geopolitics . In 1999 some artists set up a spoof #NATO propaganda operation called NATOarts (www.natoarts.com). It was all a bit tongue-in-cheek, using the language of euroatlantic security and NATO's institutional legitimacy to say something (what exactly?) about that moment at the end of history. It was a shiny, name-badgey, international trade-punk artistic exercise wrapped in a plausible story.
The #KrononautMoon Project seeks to make contact with #TimeTravelers — i.e., extradimensional beings — by promoting decentralized community experiments during the #TotalLunarEclipse. There will be 3 #TLEclipses in the next 2 years. The first of the triad occurs next month on 2025 Mar 14, the night of the #FullMoon & March's #WormMoon. All are invited (even skeptics) to celebrate on Thursday or Friday evening under the stars — wherever you are.

@KronoMoon on #Mastodon shares toots, articles & videos on various sub-themes and sub-theories, because any theory of #TimeTravel is polydimensional, beyond our current technology, and incomplete. Often associated with #UFOs or #UAP, a real-life encounter with a #spacetime ship or a #TimeMachine is less likely than some kind of #quantum #signal. It's possible that such signals have been beaming toward us for a long time. Please take lots of #photos of the #Moon and share them with @KronoMoonPhotos, so that we can document any anomalous phenomena. The plan focuses on Lunar Eclipses that are "Total" (typically occurring about once per year) and not other types of Eclipses.

Monday is January's #FullMoon — the #WolfMoon.
It's now exactly 2 #lunar cycles to the #TotalLunarEclipse on 2025 Mar 14, the Night of the #KrononautMoon, and our invitation to #TimeTravelers to come visit or send us a #quantum #signal. (To be followed by 2 more Total Lunar Eclipses in the next year!)
Here's our extended version #Checklist for the Night of the Krononaut Moon, a celebration of Time Travel. (Original post located here: https://me.dm/@KronoMoon/113610202533882675).
Coming our way next on 2025 Mar 14 #UTC 07:00, 2 months from now.
#Observe the #Moon & #stars that night, wherever & however you like, with friends & colleagues or on your own. Local #times flexible.
#Connect with the #cosmos & with your #past & #future #selves. Send a #signal to #beings in the #future(s). #Candles & safe #campfires are good; #music & #dancing are good; #radio #wave #antennas are good. Be experimental!
Click & share many #photos of the #Moon, with you (and your #family / #pets) under it — what we call a #Moonsie — and any nearby #UFOs. Share your #images with @KronoMoon & @KronoMoonPhotos.
#Enjoy a deepened #moment of #peace, #love, #authenticity & #meaning, with other #Mastodonians around the #world & #beyond — wherever you are.
Time Travel: obscure & cryptic little ad in Artforum Magazine from 45 years ago proves more relevant today than back in 1980.
#Scientific #research, #spiritual #quest, or #conceptual #art, it's an invitation to make contact with Time Travelers — or Visitors from the Future(s) — at what some call a landing reception. Today, the ongoing work of The Krononaut Moon Project continues at full steam on #Mastodon & #Fediverse.
The historic ad appeared in the magazine's 1980 Jan issue, announcing a gathering to occur two years later on 1982 Mar 09, inviting #Krononauts or #TimeTravelers to beam down to #Baltimore #MD #US. The hundreds of attendees at the night's festivities were documented by a #NYTimes #newspaper reporter. Later, others would organize their own inter-dimensional meet-ups in #Perth #AU, #MIT #US, and #Cambridge #UK. (All were landing receptions of type-1.0. See links below & on our other @KronoMoon pages for details.)
The Artforum ad can be found in #library collections and on the "Time Travel" page of #Wikipedia.

Baltimore's event was timed for a full #Moon & a rare #planetary alignment in 1982, known to #astronomers as a #syzygy. It was the prototype for today's more evolved type-2.0 "experimentations, observations & celebrations" taking place under the shadow of the #TotalLunarEclipse — the night of the #KrononautMoon. There will be 3 #TLEclipses in 2025 & 2026, with the next one coming up on 2025 Mar 14 #UTC 07:00, barely months away.
❛❛ On the Night of the Total Lunar Eclipse,
Time Travelers descend in their space-time ships. ❜❜
All sentient beings are welcome to join us in connecting with the #cosmos, the #multiverse, and your #past & #future #selves. Even folks who gripe that this is utter absurdity are invited (despite the #thinking of a few enlightened #quantum #physicists). Or, you might choose to spend a peaceful evening by yourself under the #stars, on a #sacred #mountaintop, at the #beach, or in your own #backyard. The more diverse are these experimental approaches, the greater the likelihood of meaningful contact. Or, you could bring along your friends & colleagues, your grandparents & grandkids, your #CatsOfMastodon & #DogsOfMastodon (and don't forget a #camera for lots of @KronoMoonPhotos). Watch the skies for #UFOs, #UAP, or a #signal from the #beyond. Who can know who might show up? The #fullMoon will be shining bright on that night, before it goes dark, and then shines bright again, all in an hour or so. Participants will be contributing to the greater body of Community Time Travel Research. Become a fellow #MoonWatcher on 2025 March 14, wherever you are.

I call this one, "Weird Plug (But I'll Take It)"
More details, backgrounder etc. hopefully upcoming in a future WordPress blog post. (No promises though.)
Special thanks for input/feedback from @randomgeek , @dredmorbius , etc.

I can’t stop thinking these two illustrations belong together in some way.
I just love the contrast they create!
