Anth319.L90 & L91 LAB

Hey all, I was attempting to import my movies, a couple were greyed out, and I was unable to select them. After putting them into quicktime, and exporting them as .MOV files, they were able to be imported. Just thought I’d share in case anyone else encountered this problem.

A few articles on him:

I, ___________________, agree to participate in a study aimed at documenting personal experiences and life histories of individuals involved in primate conservation.

I understand the purpose of this research is educational.  I am aware that interviews will be recorded and that documentation of this study may be shared and discussed in an academic setting.

I have been given the opportunity to ask questions, and informed that I may withdraw from the research at any time.

“I saw this today and thought you might appreciate it…It’s really clever and fun!”

I AGREE!

The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art is proud to open the doors of its new gallery space, located in The Marion and Wayland H. Cato Jr. Center for the Arts with the exhibition, Aldwyth: Work v. / Work n. — Collage and Assemblage 1991- 2009. The exhibition begins with a reception on Friday, October 23, 6 – 9 p.m. and will run through Saturday, January 9, 2010. During the reception, at 7 p.m., the artist Aldwyth and curator Mark Sloan, will lead interested guests on an exhibition walk-through. The first public viewing of the Halsey Institute’s new space will continue with a Hallelujah Chorus performed by members of the Taylor Festival Choir, the College’s professional choir in residence, as well as a dance performance by local Charleston dance group, Buen Aché. The exhibition opening is the first of many celebratory events for the School of the Arts’ 20th anniversary. The new building is located at the corner of Calhoun and St. Philip Streets (161 Calhoun St.). This is the first major retrospective of the collage and assemblage artist Aldwyth. Now in her 70s, Aldwyth lives and works in an octagonal house on the edge of a salt marsh on one of South Carolina’s sea islands. Aldwyth: Work v. / Work n. features fifty-two collage and assemblage works created within the past two decades. A film by John Reynolds with commissioned soundtrack by Bill Carson accompanies the exhibition, documenting the artist’s interaction with many three dimensional works. The Halsey Institute has also published a full color, 112-page exhibition catalogue including essays by curator Sloan and Boston artist/writer Rosamond Purcell. Aldwyth’s complex, often epic-scaled collages resemble “medieval manuscript pages writ large” says Sloan. Each piece can take years to make. Ackland Art Museum Director Emily Kass says about Aldwyth,”Her remarkable work demands to be seen. It is hard to think of an audience who will not be mesmerized by these extraordinary pieces of art.” Take a tour with gallery director Mark Sloan:  http://www.youtube.com/collegeofcharleston#p/u/3/mgAtt8HK5_c

I ______________, give my consent as a participant in a study conducted by Courtney Hall for Anthropology 319: Research Methods in Expressive Culture at the College of Charleston. I understand that Courtney Hall is researching Contemporary Art in Charleston and that my participation will be used to help gain information about key cultural aspects and important information to better the understanding of this subject. I am aware that information will be obtained through the use of audio recordings, film, and stills and that any information may be reproduced in graphs,charts, etc. I understand that I am not obligated to answer all questions and that at anytime and I have the ability to withdraw any or all of my participation from the research. I understand that anything said may be stricken from the record and I should let the researcher know if at anytime I feel uncomfortable talking about a specific subject or if any other personal concern should arise. I am aware that I may remain anonymous and acknowledged only by an pseudonym. If I choose to be anonymous no film, audio, or stills will be used in a visual presentation and my input to the research will only be used in writing and transcription. I understand that the information obtained will be used for educational purposes only. I understand that the final visual presentation may be viewed by myself, the classmates of Courtney Hall, her professors Dr. Moore Quinn, Ph.D and Jolanda-Pieta van Arnhem. I also would like to allow that Dr. Moore Quinn and Jolanda-Pieta van Arnhem have the ability to present this work in educational settings, such as conferences, or in an attempt to provide funding for the class and its future technological advancements. I know that if I have any further questions or concerns I may contact Courtney Hall at any time.
