SUMMARY:Degenerate Art and The State Part II:  Notes of Discord
DESCRIPTION:Duration: 8-week course on Wednesdays 6-8pm\, from October 3 to November 28. \nContent: It is not our fellow artist who is the enemy\, but those who have made art the booty of exploitation\, and who use it as a deodorant for war and fascism. —Arnold Blanch\, First American Artists Congress\, 1936 \nArt can become an alternative form of revolt that both deepens our consciousness and inspires resistance. This 8-week survey will be an exploration of selected pieces of music\, visual art\, and includes the screening of two exemplary\, radical films: Soleil O  (dir. Mel Hondo\, France/Mauritania\, 1967)\, a scathing attack on colonialism and capitalism; and Council of the Gods\, (dir. Kurt Maetzig\, East Germany\, 1950) a fictional film linking Monsanto\, Rockefeller\, and Hitler. \nMusic selections will include works by John Coltrane (1926-1967)\, American jazz saxophonist\, composer\, and civil rights activist; Charles Haden (1938-2014) of the Charlie Haden Music Liberation Orchestra\, American jazz bassist and composer\, also engaged in anti-war and anti-imperialist movements; and Frederic Rzewski (1938-  )\, American composer and pianist\, engaged in anti-prison-industrial complex activity\, as well as being an anti-fascist agitator. Some of the visual art we will consider will be by the German muralist Werner Tuebke (1929-2004)\, including Peasant Wars panorama; Josep Renau (1907-1982) Spanish Civil War Communist\, creator of photomontages of great power and beauty; and Edward Keinholz (1927-1994)\, American anti-imperialist\, anti-U.S. sculptor from the 1960s. \n  \n  \n
