#laborious

This July, we’re examining how artists in the Brooklyn Museum collection have dissected liberty, as a monument and as a concept, in the context of the United States. 

Stacy Lynn Waddell infuses bodily presence and lived experience to examine historic erasure of Black achievements in traditional monuments. The artist exalts “M.H.,” performance artist and sculptor Maren Hassinger, atop a plinth in place of Confederate General Beauregard whose statue was removed from New Orleans, during their residency at the Joan Mitchell Center in 2017.

Waddell utilizes gold and aluminum leaf, perhaps as a nod to heraldic traditions, while her painstaking linework reflects the laborious technique of monolithic creations. As monument removal becomes increasingly pressing in the current Black Lives Matter movement, Waddell’s work tempts the viewer to question: 

What would the world look like if we amplified the voices of Black women?

Sorry dudes and dudettes! I didn’t have a post for today cuz I kinda procrastinated on my assignments and then had to just do it, and really quickly submit it! At lest I submitted it before the deadline:)

Quick update on today:

Got to sleep in

I talked to a few of my friends today!

Got a nickname “laborious koala” and I think it’s perfect! I mean I have to work but like a koala I’d rather eat and sleep...

Got my assignments done early for this week so I just have a few things to do tomorrow and I can chill out for the weekend!!

Also contemplated on watching King: the eternal monarch I think I might start it soon

And heard a lot of BTS songs 💜

Day 10/30 days of productivity

Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, is speaking in the European parliament now.

He says in the House of Commons there have only been majorities against things.

That is not how an orderly withdrawal can be managed, he says.

If the UK is to avoid a no-deal Brexit, there is only one way forward: to vote for a deal.

And there is only one treaty available, he says. He holds up a copy of the withdrawal agreement.

He says the option of no deal looks “very likely”. It is not the option he would have gone for, he says. You do not need a negotiator for no deal. But the EU has spent a lot of time over the last few months preparing for this.

He says that at the start of this process, Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, said the future of the EU was more important than Brexit. He agrees, he says.

My remarks:

I think this whole thing takes too long. Okay, u need to be well prepared because this is an important thing in the history of Europe. They have been working on it for so long so i think they have to keep going and continue the fight.

Ofcourse the future of Europe is more important, I also think that the UK can stand on it’s own 2 feet and the future doesn’t look that hard for them. They won’t have much complications if they will leave Europe, they will fix it themselves.

I have a good eye for it and I hope everything will become clear very soon.
