Why not? I have a couple hours to kill here.

This one looks like fun?

I’ve had a crappy day. Let’s do this.

You guys never bite anyway, so why not?

I’ll play as well, since very little is known about me

“

Jelle was keen to point out the fundamentals of this being an alternative project space with a more ideological output. The Fodor Function of “art from Amsterdam” has been developed to reflect the post-colonial/globalised world. “It has to have an Amsterdam relation and Amsterdam should care about art in an international context and discourse,” Jelle said. I wondered just how much flexibility and autonomy Jelle had in his role.

“Absolute freedom,” he said.

“Whether we are directly impacted now or later, it is about fighting for culture in people’s lives and standing together. It is about our dignity, legacy and responsibility. We must act, not only on behalf of the interests of our ourselves, but especially in strong support of our colleagues, artists, and the arts community – at all levels. We must do so without fear of reprisal, and we must not allow ourselves to be divided or intimidated, which is clearly a strategy being used against us. We must think about the big picture, and about the long term, and how our lives touch each other and what art and artists contribute to our society. How art gives us the tools to be critically aware of ourselves and our place among others. Our critical self-awareness is also our power, and it is certainly no coincidence that it is a target. I am angry, but I am also hopeful. We are all in this together and if we stick together, and reach out and help one another, we not only find reserves of strength and encouragement to find solutions, we also honor each other as human beings. And we put a great face on the Netherlands. And, make no mistake, the world is watching.” http://journal.stedelijk.nl/2011/06/dutch-culture-cuts-transcript-of-ann-goldsteins-speech/

thewordspeak asked: What does a good content curation look like to you?

The British Museum

Oh for the love of…

That’s it, I’m no longer talking about this content curation fad. It’s awful, lacking innovation and continues to abuse so many concepts that it make me angry enough to spit.

They all suck. Really. All of them. They all start from the same premise of “there’s so much information out there” and then go right on to adding to the problem.

It’s over. It’s dead. “Content curation” can do one.
