My thesis, Escape Artist, is a composite novel written as a fictitious memoir, similar in style to Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, that describes my experiences between the years 2001 and 2011. During that time I went through Marine Corps Boot Camp, became a military police officer, patrolled Yuma, AZ, was sent to Iraq for a seven-month tour as a security detail just before the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and made it back home four years later. The novel also looks into my struggles with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms, how they affected the people around me, and what I've been trying to do to remedy them (or ignore them). ; 2012-12-01 ; M.F.A. ; Arts and Humanities, English ; Masters ; This record was generated from author submitted information.

The caucus will allow artists to express their full potentials in the supportive and creative environment space. Arts have been a prevalent component of queer activism, politics, and identity formation. Queer artists face additional barriers like lack funding, commercialization, censorship, commodification, and oversight within their field and in relationship to others. Creating a meeting space for queer artists will allow for us to develop our own language and further develop our professional relationships and practices; it will further nurture and inspire the study of queer history, theory, criticism, and studio practices. Topics for discussion include history, resource sharing, advocacy, compensation, queer artistic languages, and other topics that are relevant to the group.

La place réelle des femmes dans l'histoire des arts (littérature, musique, peinture et arts plastiques, théâtre, danse, cinéma, photo etc.) fait actuellement l'objet de nombreux débats, qui interrogent leur rôle en tant que créatrices, au-delà de la reproduction de techniques éprouvées, et la manière dont elles ont réussi à imposer leur légitimité d'artiste, contre des phénomènes récurrents et parfois insidieux de disqualification visant à les invisibiliser. Ce volume retrace des parcours singuliers de femmes artistes, actives pour l'essentiel au XXe siècle dans l'espace germanique

Living as a professional artist requires multiple roles such as a businessman, a social media specialist, a financial expert, an entrepreneur, as well as artists contributing creativity through their artworks. The welfare system for artists in South Korea was suddenly legislated after one screenwriter, Goeun Choi's death in 2011. However, the law was legislated in a short time, thus, it contains limitations and requires improvements. Furthermore, the two previous Korean governments made 'Blacklist' for artists and organizations who were unsupportive for those governments and gave disadvantages deliberately towards artists who were in this 'Blacklist'. This research investigates to compare the status of professional artists in South Korea and Finland by interviewing artists in both countries. The goal of this thesis is to find out and suggest the direction of cultural policy supporting artists in South Korea through comparison with Finland. I interviewed ten professional artists (five professional artists in each country) by using a semi-structured interview. The interviews were conducted in English for Finnish artists, and in Korean for Korean artists. The collected data from Korean artists were translated into English. According to the results, the deviation of income for Korean professional artists was greater than Finnish professional artists. The grant was an important source of income for Finnish artists which means that Finnish artists were more dependent on the grant and they had more stable income with less deviation of income rather than Korean artists. Korean artists were not aware of grant or support project from the government with lack of information and mistrust towards the government. Meanwhile, Finnish artists were sharing information about grant through communities and organizations and they had trust in the process of grant system from the government. Artists in both countries pointed out the business-minded attitude towards short-term and visible outcome from both governments. Also, they suggested that the government appreciate art and artists.

[Abstract] In her biographical compilation English Female Artists (1876), Ellen Clayton documented the lives of many talented and hard-working women as a means of bringing to light and celebrating their role in the history of art. Moreover, she also explored these artists' biographies in order to problematize more general issues, thus entering into one of the most significant initiatives of the period: the movement for women's rights, with proposals including the improvement of women's education, their access to art academies, and the amelioration of laws regarding marriage, family and employment. Of particular interest are the lives of celebrated artists who were also leading activists in the period, such as Laura Herford, Eliza Bridell-Fox and Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon. Therefore, this study aims to explore not only Clayton's approach to female artists within the specific domain of art, but also the incursions that they made into broad social and political issues regarding women. Finally, the presence in various biographies of the term "sisters" is particularly revealing in that Clayton, through her text, could be said to be assembling as many women as possible, not just artists, as a means of fighting for their rights together as sisters ; [Resumen] En su compilación biográfica sobre mujeres artistas English Female Artists (1876), Ellen Clayton documentó las vidas de numerosas mujeres talentosas y muy trabajadoras para reivindicar su participación en la historia del arte. Además, también aprovechó las biografías de estas artistas para abordar temas más generales, adhiriéndose así a una de las iniciativas más relevantes del período: el movimiento por los derechos de las mujeres, con propuestas que incluyen el progreso en la educación de las mujeres, su acceso a las academias de arte y la mejora de leyes sobre el matrimonio, la familia y el empleo. En particular, cabe reseñar las biografías de artistas célebres que también fueron activistas destacadas de la época, como Laura Herford, Eliza Bridell-Fox y Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon. Así, este estudio tiene como objetivo explorar no solo cómo enfoca Clayton el análisis de la artista en su propio ámbito específico, sino también las incursiones de la autora en temas sociales y políticos más generales relacionados con las mujeres. Finalmente, la presencia en varias biografías de un término significativo, "hermanas", es particularmente revelador, ya que Clayton podría estar intentando reunir a través de este texto a la mayor cantidad posible de mujeres, no solo artistas, para luchar todas juntas como hermanas por sus derechos.Ellen Clayton; English Female Artists; women artists; women's rights movement; Victorian periodEllen Clayton; English Female Artists; mujeres artistas; movimiento por los derechos de las mujeres; época victorianaPalabras clave:Keywords:AbstractResumen

The RCA is a partner in a major four-year research programme titled 4Cs: from Conflict to Conviviality through Creativity and Culture. This included an Artist Residency co-funded by Creative Europe and the RCA, curated by Michaela Crimmin, Reader in Art and Conflict, RCA and 4Cs UK art director. After an extensive selection process, advised by international curators, Noor Abuarafeh was invited to London. A Palestinian artist living and working in Jerusalem, Abuarafeh questions how history is constructed, visualised, perceived, and understood; how all these elements are related to fact and fiction, including imagining the past when there are gaps in documentation. Noor Abuarafeh's research focused on the whereabouts of works by Palestinian artists from exhibitions that took place in Europe in the last century, and particularly from an exhibition in 1919 held at the Imperial War Museums. Lost, overlooked, displaced, or hidden, these artworks and the process of finding them act as a metaphor for displaced and marginalised people - a constructive reclamation of history in part as an act of reconciliation, contextualising the present in the past. The outcome of the residency was an art book entitled 'Rumours Began Some Time Ago', a response to the question 'how can we document what is absent?' It includes an illustrated account of British involvement during the Mandate where civil servants sought to create a museum dedicated to Palestinian art and crafts in Jerusalem. It focuses particularly on the role of the 'Pro Jerusalem Society', established in 1917 by Sir Ronald Storrs, the then Military Governor of Jerusalem. An online version of the publication is available. The Delfina Foundation hosted Noor's residency. Hilary Roberts, Research Curator of Photography at the Imperial War Museums, and Jack Persekian, director of the Al-Ma'mal Foundation for Contemporary Art in Jerusalem, both supported the residency.
