Is Ownership Obsolete? 

An Amplify event curated by Influencer Conference 2013 

The concept of ownership as we know it has been a keystone of industrial age capitalism. The idea that the possession of property (physical or intellectual) can be transferred via legal right is a basic construct that is now taken for granted among a majority of industrialized nations. Does ownership as we know it still work? Does it serve us as we move toward a shared economy? Can Stewardship, as a counter value, unlock innovation and creativity and become the prevailing value of the near future?

Otolith Group

Otolith Group

An otolith is one of the calcium carbonate microcrystals within the inner ear of some vertebrates that sense motion and support balance.

The Radiant 

explores the aftermath of March 11, 2011, when the Tohoku earthquake triggered a tsunami that killed many thousands and caused the partial meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on the east coast of Japan. A film essay burdened by the difficult task of representing the invisible aftermath of nuclear fallout, The Radiant travels through time and space to invoke the historical promises of nuclear energy and the threats of radiation that converge in Japan’s illuminated cities and evacuated villages in the months immediately following the disasters. The Otolith Group’s cinematic document offers glimpses into the shape and presence of an unseen entity and its abstract manifestation through visual phenomena.

12.5" x 10" x 1.25"

hard-bound / green cloth w / stamped gold title -motif 

120 B&W single side plates

German text by Karl Nierendorf 

Originally published for student use in this early edition, the book is complete, intact and in great shape for it's age, early purpose and rarity. Back spine start handsomely repaired in gold thread (2/3 back start stop) matching the stamp on cover by alLuPiNiT editor / book artist Rafael Sánchez. Book can benefit from further restoration to cover and inner spine wear. Indicated price is in consideration of book as is. 
This is a very rare. intact, first printing from 1928, to be distinguished from the soon to follow 1929 printing in which the plates have a significantly greener tone. Most early copies of URFORMEN DER KUNST have been dismantled for individual plate framing. These original silvery, neutral toned plates, are masterful and stunning. Blossfeldt's macro photography of botanical subjects is the first of its kind in scope and accomplishment, never to be repeated -though of profound influence and greatly imitated. The book became an instant classic in the art world hence its republication throughout the twentieth century and beyond. A true icon of photographic history.

Hosted by Harry Belafonte & Pete Seeger

On Friday, December 14, 2012 a diverse group of people from the music community, in the United States and Canada, ( will ) gather(ed) at the Beacon Theater, in NYC to sing for freedom for a man who has been locked away since the tumultuous days of the early seventies and the violence at Wounded Knee and Oglala, South Dakota. Many around the world question whether he has received justice.

This concert is ( was ) a cross-cultural event meant to bring awareness to the 37 year long ordeal of Native American Activist Leonard Peltier. Pete Seeger says it is the blessing he’s been waiting for. The chance to gather with those he’s invited to participate has been a long time coming. Joining forces with Civil Rights icon Harry Belafonte, the two have invited artists including Jackson Browne, Canadian Hall of Fame folk artist, Bruce Cockburn, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, Native American singers Bill Miller and Jennifer Kreisberg and others.

Mr President:

I am writing to you regarding Mr. Leonard Peltier. Mr Peltier is a Native American activist, who is serving two consecutive life sentences for the 1975 shooting deaths of two FBI agents. His 1977 trial was anything but fair and is the subject of controversy to this day. The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, for example, made the following observation concerning Mr. Peltier's trial, "Much of the government's behavior at The Pine Ridge Reservation and its prosecution of Mr. Peltier is to be condemnede. The government withheld evidence. It intimidated witnesses. These facts are not disputed." See Peltier vs. Booker 348F. 3d 888, 896 (10th Cir. 2003)

Under Article II, Section Two of the United States Constitution, you have the authority to commute Mr. Peltier's sentence. I strongly urge you to exercise this power without delay. Mr. Peltier was 31 when he entered prison and is now 67 years of age. He does not pose a threat to anyone. Over 36 years in prison is enough. the time to free Mr. Peltier is now.

Incident at Oglala: The Leonard Peltier Story

The American Museum of Natural History

INTRODUCTION

The ideal museum has been dreamed of but has not yet been built. The ideal museum presents, in logical order, the entire story of the universe, the earth, and its inhabitants, together with their total relation to each other. Practical limitations prevent such a museum from becoming a reality but the goal is there.

The American Museum of Natural History works constantly toward that goal. A study of the Table of Contents of this General Guide will give the Museum visitor a key to the appreciationof its offerings in both a logical and a chronological order.

Astronomy mirrors the universe and states the theories of the earth's origin. The hardened rocks furnish the material of geology and the life-forms trapped in that rock are the objects of the paleontologist's search. From fossils we advance to forms that are familiar today - living creatures with backbones, insects, fishes, reptiles, birds, and mammals - all leading to the study of man himself.

With the growth of man from primitive savagery to what we call civilization, come changes in his relation to his surroundings. The first living thing was affected by its environment and affected it in turn. Man is no exception. He is one of a species of animals, among which he is no more necessary to the continuance of life than are the insects, the birds or the dinosaurs. His very existence in the future may depend on his understanding of the world in which he finds himself.

Man is still part of nature, although he controls much on earth. He is still subject to great basic laws and forces that restrict and restrain him within marked boundaries. A shift in climate from marine temperate to glacial cold could wipe out the traces of man and his works over a continent. A movement of the ocean bed could send a tidal wave to destroy coastal towns thousand of miles away.

Closer to man's fate than great earth changes are the difficulties he makes for himself through lack of understanding of the consequences of his acts. Because he is the only living organism with the powers of reason developed to a relatively high degree, he is able to engage in thought-processes and actions that create in him needs and desires that were not shared by his early ancestors. In the satisfaction of these needs and desires he cuts down whole forests for his industries. He mines the soil and uses up resources he cannot hope to replace. He waters the desert and reaps his harvest. He plows the plains and sows the dust bowls.

The Museum is aware of the urgency of the problems of soil, water, forest, mineral and wild life conservation and of the conservation of man himself. As you read through this general guide or walk through the Museum halls, note the theme expressed by those who represent the many departments of science and education. This idea is plain in their research, in their writings and in their exhibits for the public. The scientist-educator is concerned with the interpretation of nature rather than its mere presentation. The day of the thousand stuffed animals in one long case is gone. The scientist-educator knows that man must see nature as a whole since he must live as a whole being within its framework.

The American Museum of  Natural History is one of the most wonderful places in the word. It houses the priceless objects of the earth, displayed in dramatic settings that amaze and delight all who come to see.

But it is more, much more, than a treasure trove of the rare, the exotic, the beautiful and the unusual. It is a great teacher that can tell man what has come before. What exists in the present, and what the future hold, depending on man's choice of direction. It would not be a great teacher if it did not indicate the best direction for him to take.

The Museum should be all things to all men. It should meet the needs of the housewife, the farmer, the industrialist, the college student, the child. Each must find, among its offerings, an answer to his questions, an understanding of daily living and an appreciation of his own place in a highly complex and interrelated world.

Unless museums work toward that objective, they fail in their obligation to mankind. Thi museum realizes that responsibility and asks you, the visitor, to pass judgment on the fruits of its labor and to take some of those fruits with you.
