The Artpolitics of May Stevens��� work: disrupting the distribution of the sensible

In this paper I look into the life and art of May Stevens, an American working class artist, feminist and committed political activist. I am particularly interested in how Stevens' artwork is inextricably interwoven with her politics, constituting, as I will argue, an assemblage of artpolitics. The discussion draws on Jacques Ranci��re's analyses of the politics of aesthetics and particularly his notion of ���the distribution of the sensible���. What I argue is that although Ranci��re's approach to the politics of aesthetics illuminates an understanding and appreciation of Stevens' art, his idea about the redistribution of the sensible is problematic. It is here that the notion of artpolitics as an assemblage opens up possibilities for a critical project that goes beyond the limitations of Ranci��re's proposition.

Governor���s message

Governor Henagan gives his message following his assumption as governor after the death of the previous governor. In his message, Governor Henagan addresses the status of agriculture, public education, state finances, and state military operations of South Carolina, as well as South Carolina���s role in the 1840 presidential election.

Thomson-Craighead at Studion

Moderna Museet invited Mejan Labs to curate two installations by the British artists Thomson & Craighead. This solo exhibition was in Studion at Moderna Museet, Stockholm. Works included: BEACON when it is shown as a data projection in a gallery. As with the online version and railway flap sign, live web searches are continuously relayed as they are being made around the world -in this case onto a gallery wall in series and at regular intervals as an endless concrete poetry. Decorative Newsfeeds use a live feed from the web to present up to the minute headline news from around the world as a series of pleasant animations, allowing viewers to keep informed while contemplating a kind of readymade sculpture or perhaps an automatic drawing.

Common variants near MC4R are associated with fat mass, weight and risk of obesity.

To identify common variants influencing body mass index (BMI), we analyzed genome-wide association data from 16,876 individuals of European descent. After previously reported variants in FTO, the strongest association signal (rs17782313, P = 2.9 x 10(-6)) mapped 188 kb downstream of MC4R (melanocortin-4 receptor), mutations of which are the leading cause of monogenic severe childhood-onset obesity. We confirmed the BMI association in 60,352 adults (per-allele effect = 0.05 Z-score units; P = 2.8 x 10(-15)) and 5,988 children aged 7-11 (0.13 Z-score units; P = 1.5 x 10(-8)). In case-control analyses (n = 10,583), the odds for severe childhood obesity reached 1.30 (P = 8.0 x 10(-11)). Furthermore, we observed overtransmission of the risk allele to obese offspring in 660 families (P (pedigree disequilibrium test average; PDT-avg) = 2.4 x 10(-4)). The SNP location and patterns of phenotypic associations are consistent with effects mediated through altered MC4R function. Our findings establish that common variants near MC4R influence fat mass, weight and obesity risk at the population level and reinforce the need for large-scale data integration to identify variants influencing continuous biomedical traits.

Claes Wilhelm Gyld��n (1802-1872) oli maanmittauksen ja mets��nhoidon ylihallituksen ylitireht����ri vuosina 1854-72. Ylitireht����ri omisti paljon aikaansa mets��nhoidon ja maanjakotoiminnan lis��ksi my��s maamme kartastotoiminnalle. H��n julkaisi vuonna 1853 Suomenmaan korko-kartan, joka on maailman ensimm��isi�� korkeusvy��hykekarttoja. My��s Suomen yleiskartan 1:400 000 (Karta ��ver Finland) ensimm��isen painoksen karttalehdet painettiin vuosina 1864-1872 h��nen johtajakaudellaan. Vuosina 1837-1843 toimiessaan maanmittausinsin����rin�� maanmittaushallituksessa C. W. Gyld��n julkaisi Suomen kaikkien silloisten kaupunkien kaupunkikartat, yhteens�� 31 karttalehte��. N��m�� asemakaavakartat painettiin kaikki samassa koossa 50,8 x 65,9 cm. T��st�� johtuen karttojen mittakaavat vaihtelivat asteikkojen 1:3200 ��� 1:10000 v��lill��. Kaupungin asemakaavan lis��ksi jokaisessa kartassa on yleissilm��yskartta, julkisten rakennusten luettelo sek�� niiden sijainti. Lis��ksi h��n julkaisi vuonna 1844 n��iden kaupunkien historiaa ja tilastotietoja kuvaavan selityskirjan.
