Podcast appearances and mentions of michael asher

In 1986, Michael Asher and his wife Mariantonietta Peru set out to cross the Sahara from west to east, by camel and on foot. Their 4,500 mile (7,200 km) journey is the longest trek ever made by Westerners in the Sahara, and the first recorded crossing from west to east by non-mechanical means.  I read Asher's book about this trip — Impossible Journey — more than twenty years ago, and it's been in my travel literature top ten ever since. We spoke about traveling by camel, Saharan cultures, and what it was like to see the Nile after nine desert months.

Su aceptación para la Historia del Arte es complicada: la arquitectura de museos y salas no está concebida para la experiencia de escucha. Comprende instalación sonora, escultura interactiva, poesía experimental, fonografía, y sobre todo, la prevalencia de la escucha y el sonido sobre el hecho artístico._____Has escuchadoDedicatorias.

This week on the Health Wealth Podcast we have an amazing story of overcoming adversity We speak to Michael Asher as he shares his inspirational journey from a horrific motorbike accident, losing the use of his left arm, having to make the decision to have his foot amputated and the long road to recovery he's been on with all the challenges along the way. The one thing that really stands out from this interview is how much your mindset really controls your perspective on life no matter what happens to you. I encourage you to take the time to listen to Michaels story. I can guarantee it will improve how you look at life. Enjoy the show. Some of the main takeaways, His horrific motorbike accident Having to decide to amputate his own foot The huge challenges he met along the way How his accident was "divine" purpose The positive differences he's made to peoples lives How his mindset allowed him to get to where he is today

The family of Michael Asher is still grieving the loss their father, who is believed to have died of a heart attack after he went missing on Christmas Day. The 73-year-old's body was found three days later, in bush in West Auckland. He was the father of Iraena Asher, who disappeared at Piha in 2004 and was never found. Sam Olley has been speaking to the Asher whānau, who say their perception of police has now changed since that loss, nearly 20 years ago.

This functional, polished, granite drinking fountain is an exact replica in granite of commercial metal fountains typically found in schools, business offices and government buildings. Instead of its usual context as interior office furniture, the fountain is placed monument-like on a grass island in the center of UC San Diego's Town Square. The siting of his work is fundamental to its meaning; it is counter posed with a tall American flag and a granite marker commemorating Camp Matthews, a World War II training center and artillery and rifle range which occupied the land on which UCSD now stands. Asher's work projects several cultural references into one modest object, and it is a play on sculpture's historic role as representation.

THIS WEEK: Duncan and Richard interview James Rondeau, superstar curator and Cecelia Edefalk, superstar artist. We just bought the right to the word "superstar" so we are compelled to use it as much as possible. Stealing liberally from the AIC's press release bank we now paste the following for your enlightenment. "The Art Institute of Chicago presents the first solo U.S. exhibition of Swedish artist Cecilia Edefalk as part of its Focus exhibitions of contemporary art. Double White Venus, a series of 12 paintings all titled Double White Venus, will be on view in Gallery 139 of the museum from February 2 to April 23, 2006. Born in 1954, Edefalk draws viewers in by exploring, through repetition as well as innovative installations, the mechanics of making and looking at painted images. Edefalk works slowly and deliberately, in direct contrast to our high-speed, image-based world; she began Double White Venus in 1999 and completed its 12 paintings over the course of nearly 7 years." James Rondeau is the Frances and Thomas Dittmer Curator of Contemporary Art at the Art Institute of Chicago, and a damn nice guy. He has overseen the significant growth and expansion in recent years of the Art Institute of Chicago's commitment to contemporary art. Brian Andrews our west coast correspondent has really been earning his keep these days. This week he interviews Andrew Bancroft aka the superstar rapper Jelly D. from the brilliant Maximum Wage video. "The son of an ex-pool hustler and former Catholic nun, Andrew Bancroft grew up in Maine, where he developed an early love of acting and music. Andrew graduated with honors from Wesleyan UniversitySan Francisco in 2000. Andrew's many film credits include the title role in Gabriel Angel Of The Lord, as well as directing and starring as rapper "Jelly Donut" in Illbilly's mock music video Maximum Wage . He has many other performance credits, including The Ken and Andy Show and Popcorn Anti-Theater." If you don't go check out www.Illbilly.com your toes will rot off.

This show has at least 3 shows worth of material. THIS WEEK: Michelle Maynard and Teena McClelland the ladies of Death by Design Co. talk about gore, guts, and their show at Gallery 400! Duncan, Richard and Amanda, rise above the fray and avoid saying snotty things about people related to a certain gallery space, once again, basking the entire time in the soft, warm glow of our moral superiority. Cassie Thornton checks in from NYC! We review Daniel Blanco's show at Flatfile. AND the year end wrap up. Duncan apologizes to the OODA group for being a jerk. We throw down the gauntlet to Liz Armstrong who is writing the Chicago Anti-Social column in the Reader. Duncan hates Anne Goldstein. More singing by all. People name dropped: Daniel Blanco, Michael Asher, Michael Workman, Philip von Zweck, Paul Klein, David Coyle, Mark Booth, Naughty Candy, Bruce Campbell, Jim Faulkner, Jasper Johns, The Booms, David Robbins (WHO IS NOT connected to Death by Design, honest, really, seriously, no foolin'), Readymade Magazine, Stan Shellabarger, Dan Flavin, Scott Speh, Brittney Spears, and Richard offers free legal assistance to Kevin Federline, as he will need it and so so much more. NEXT WEEK: The always controversial and busy Michael Workman, New City art critic, NOVA front man, Art Fair impresario, freelance writer and 92 other things talks about the art biz, pissing people off, the state of the Chicago art scene, and what the future holds, not to be missed! Duncan, Richard and Amanda talk about Maximum Wage! We might even have a piece by a second NYC contributor despite the fact they are too damn rude to spend 1 second and figure out what my name is before they write to us. Links may follow eventually, Duncan has gone back to the motherland.

TEMP SHOW NOTE: Bill Gross, Depart-ment, Duncan MacKenzie and Shannon Stratton at Fraction, and Michael Asher reviewed at last. Okay so this show was edited in a Toyota and in a Holiday Inn in Port Washington Wisconsin. Not our tightest work and we had WAY too much material. Things edited out and that will be worked into future shows include: Bill, Duncan and Richard discussing the current show at the Three Arts Club and the discussion that followed the opening that was lots of complaining, Amanda and Richard discussing a whole bunch of shows and why Gordon Matta-Clark's used Kleenex would probably be brilliant, and Duncan calling for the world to hate Richard as he is evil.Real note to follow soon with appropriate links.65 Grand = wgross@artic.edu Skestos Gallery DEPART-ment Micheal Asher Fraction Workspace
