Jaclyn Santos

FP: We've spoken about the subject of the male gaze, and even part of the mission statement of FP is to question what it means when women artists control the power of their own objectification. There have been other artists who have paved the way, ie. Vanessa Beecroft, why do you think it is still considered controversial and shocking for a female artist to portray her sexuality as outwardly powerful and/or vulnerable?

JS: While many women artists have displayed their own sexuality in their artwork, every girl and woman still has to confront this topic individually and form her own convictions. It's something we continuously re-examine as we age and deal with new personal  struggles. There are so many conflicting messages in society regarding a woman’s stance on her own sexuality and most women are still trying to figure it out for themselves. On one hand, society definitely rewards physical beauty yet, in many other ways, it can be an impediment. Increasingly, I think people turn to media figures as a barometer for their own morality. For the "Shock Challenge" I wanted to generate discussion about the way women are often criticized because of images they present of themselves – particularly the way certain female celebrities objectify themselves by posting sexy personal photos on social networking platforms such as Twitter. Often these photos are low-resolution and snapped from cell phones. I decided to photograph myself in this manner as a sort of contemporary “self-portraiture” and elevate the photos to fine art status by re-contextualizing them. I then displayed the images in the gallery and allowed the audience to physically alter the work in any way with sharpies, which draws attention to the way women are criticized online. I titled the piece, “Triple Self-Portrait in Bathroom,” which references Andy Warhol, an artist known for working with the idea of celebrity persona.

Another reason it may still be considered controversial is because of female competition, which occurs in part due to socially imposed myths of female worth. The scrutiny with which women can judge each other is incredible. Growing up, I wasn’t horrendously unattractive but I did go through an “awkward phase,” and for five years of my life other girls ridiculed me nearly every day. Now that I am older and have grown into my looks, I am condemned by some women because I keep up my appearance, when if I didn’t I would be put down for it. The world sets up a standard for beauty, then criticizes those who admit they struggle with it. I’m willing to honestly examine this contradiction through my artwork.

FP: You've also mentioned isolationism in your statement...a theme that seems to be prevalent in American culture today, particularly because of the internet, and our ability to be alone yet still remain virtually connected. Can you speak about how that relates to your work?

JS: I think the piece I did for the "Art That Moves You" challenge on WOA, "11x17", touches on the issue of isolationism in contemporary urban culture. It also examines voyeurism, a somewhat natural response to isolation.  While most people do not spy on their neighbors' with binoculars, voyeurism has transcended to the internet in a more diluted version, where many of us use social networking platforms and blogs to comment on the lives of those we see on Television and other forms of Media. The pseudo-anonimity of the Internet offers protection while potentially causing further isolation. I think this has affected women in a very specific way. Oftentimes women display sexy images of themselves in an attempt to garner attention or praise, yet this often backfires into “unwarranted” criticism. Too often photos or explicit videos are released without consent.

FP: In regards to the nudity on the show...it really was a missed opportunity as you said for the production to discuss the current state of feminism as it pertains to the art world. Such a HUGE topic and yet (for the sake of time constraints? titillation of tv?) Bravo chose to edit down your provocative "shock value" piece to a hot girl defaulting to her own voyeuristic sexuality more than anything else. How did you feel about that? What could they have done to further the dialogue? What do you think would have happened if say one of the male artists had asked to photograph you naked or had photographed themselves naked...do you think more or less would have been made of that episode?

JS: So far my character has appeared very one-dimensional. The fact is, I am not a "bimbo" in any capacity.  Instead of portraying my true personality, they jumped on every opportunity to dumb-down my character. I was very disturbed by the way my piece, “Triple Self-Portrait in Bathroom,” was depicted on Work of Art as well as the way my character and art making process were completely distorted. I don’t think this was done because of time constraints; rather, it was done to create a very simple story arch that any casual viewer could follow. This was problematic because it made me look like I default to nudity without any thought behind the concept of the work, which undermines my art process. I am not shy about my appearance as they suggest, but I did feel incredibly vulnerable being taped in the nude. There's a huge difference between presenting a photograph that I have carefully selected and composed, verses handing over raw footage that can be manipulated in any way whatsoever. I was very hesitant about doing this but I believed in the piece and the producers said they needed the footage only to display my process. Yet in the episode, the rest of my process was barely discussed, then it was falsely made to look as though I was not responsible for conceptualizing the final product.

The treatment of sensitive issues on set was different for the boys. A male contestant was not required to film himself ejaculating on a piece of art, which caused some tension on set.

FP: In The Art of Reflection: Women Artists' Self-Portraiture in the Twentieth Century, Marsha Meskimmon states: "If the task was to find oneself, then the crisis for the postmodern subject is that nowhere is home, everything shifts and changes. What is the reflection in the mirror that 'vanity' holds? She refuses now to be the 'site' of another's desire and reflects back to you the insubstantiality of your projections."1

Do you think it's possible for the physicality of an attractive female artist to ever be a separate entity from her work, particularly if she is the subject matter of her own work? Is vanity and the mirror important to an artist?

JS:  To answer the question, if the womans' chosen subject matter deals with nudity or sexuality in the form of self-portraiture - i.e. Marina Abramovic, Cindy Sherman - no, I don't feel the artist's appearance could be a seperate entity. If the subject matter involves sexy images of other women or the imagery is more illustrative - i.e. Lisa Yuskavage, Hillary Harkness - I think it will be much less of an issue. I think it can only be a non-issue if the artist completely plays down her appearance or doesn't acknowledge it in her work. Yet this doesn't necessarily mean it won't be an issue. At a college critique, a guest artist was invited to our studios and the minute he saw me, before he ever saw my work, he blurted out, “you are the artist”?  “You don’t look anything like an artist... YOU are as interesting as your work." This sort of thing happened so often that I made a decision to incorporate my appearance into my work.

FP: Another great quote from this same book: "One of the key issues in feminist theory has been that of women's voice in male language. To what extent is it possible to enunciate a truly different position when you are already within the structures which mark your difference?"2 Do you think the art world is still a predominantly masculine one or is it now equal...what has your experience been thus far?

JS:  While certainly more doors are now open to female artists, there’s no denying the highest paid artists are all still men. There’s also no denying that the vast majority of Art collectors are men.  I worked for Jeff Koons for two years and there were very few women who came in to purchase work. Granted, this may simply be because men still make more money than women and if women had more spending power, more of us would invest in contemporary art. I think it is a challenge to make work about women that can appeal to both a male and female audience on the same level. We respond to images of the female form rather differently, and it's hard to subvert the provocative aspect of a sexualized image.

FP: The high-low art status is interesting in your pieces --do you think anything can be elevated to art status by redepicting it?

JS:  Yes, it can, if done in a particular way.  Intent is important -- low art must be appropriated in an intelligent way. For instance, a high school student copying his incredible hulk comic book is entirely different than Jeff Koons appropriating the hulk into his personal iconography.

FP: You worked as a studio assistant to pop art icon Jeff Koons. Has he influenced your work? And who are your biggest influences?

JS:  Before I ever worked for Jeff Koons, I loved his Made in Heaven series as well as his Luxury/Degradation series. Speaking of Made in Heaven, that’s a prime example of low-art being successfully elevated to high -art. Jeff Koons is brilliant and there are very few people who love art as much as he does. Working at his studio was an incredible learning experience. It was so interesting to see how he spoke with visitors about his work and I learned an incredible amount of technical skill while at his studio. Jeff talked "acceptance" quite often. We must accept who we are -- our individual and collective pasts -- our shortcomings, failures, weaknesses, and strengths. As artists, we must be honest with ourselves in order to make work that is personal yet transcends to a wider audience. So many artists have influenced my work, but to name a few: Damien Hirst, Marilyn Minter, Laurel Nakadate, Liz Cohen, Vanessa Beecroft

FP: Where do you see your work evolving now that you've participated in Bravo's Work of Art? Has the show inspired you in a new direction? What's on the horizon? Where can we see your work next?

JS:  Participating in the reality show was an experience like no other. It really made me more aware of the internet as a portal for criticism and dialogue in fine art. It also opened my eyes to how incredibly critical and voyeuristic our culture is, and I think I would like to comment even further on these qualities in my new projects. The show also allowed me to branch out into other mediums when appropriate, something I think I may have been afraid to do before.  Since the show wrapped up, I’ve been continuing my series of figurative paintings as well as a new series of explosions that respond to the war and oil spill.

Christmas and Harvest Festivals Round the Earth

A country's cinema is just a mark of identity which represents the whole populace'flourishing potentials; its aspirations and its want to institute world wide connections. The movie business is a voice announcing that somewhere in that world, are artistically aware creatures armed with endowments set to participate within individual race's popular interests. It's my honour to fairly share these substantial victories of the Philippine picture industry.

Though these earning instances of Filipino artists are not exhaustive number to present its entirety, these reveal that certainly, the Philippine cinema has expanded a meritorious point of picture making.

ACC PTK Inducts New Members

The Phi Theta Kappa Mu Upsilon Chapter at Alvin Community College recently inducted its newest members during a ceremony on October 10.

The chapter added 47 students to the honor society at the induction ceremony.

“You have all worked extremely hard for this honor,” ACC President Dr. Christal M. Albrecht said.

Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society of two-year colleges.  Members follow four hallmarks, including scholarship, leadership, service and fellowship.  To be eligible for Phi Theta Kappa, students must have completed at least 12 college credit hours at ACC and maintained a grade point average of 3.5 or above.

More than 4,000 ACC students have been inducted into Phi Theta Kappa since the ACC Mu Upsilon Chapter was created in 1963. Students in Phi Theta Kappa will participate in community projects and research projects during their time in the organization.

“We have a busy and growing chapter,” Albrecht said. “We are looking forward to more exciting things for this chapter in the coming year.”

ACC Vice President of Student Services Dr. Jade Borne served as the keynote speaker for the induction ceremony. Borne spoke about the importance of learning from failure as a key to success.

“Failure is one of the most important aspects in making a great leader,” Borne said. “Failure is life’s greatest teacher.”

Borne spoke of important leadership skills that students can learn through failure including persistence, having a definite purpose, learning to be self-reliant, accepting criticism, being open-minded and more.

“You have to think big and you have to push yourself,” he said. “Embrace your failures fearlessly. Without it failure, you don’t know success.”

The newest inductees for Phi Theta Kappa are: Alexis Alexander, Sarah Blasdell, Katelynn Boysen, Elizabeth Bransom, Sarah Bransom, Taylor Chapman, Katelyn Clark, Erika Campuzano, Christian Coplin, Melissa David, Ryan Deleon, Bradley Elmore, Kegan Fast, Metteo Flores, Angelica Garcia, Danielle Garza, Saah Goodman, Nataly Hernandez, Kathryn Hoelter, Alex Hunt, Madison Jackson, Michael Jensen, Ivy Jones, Keaton Jones, Tristan Ladd, Sikirat Lasisi, Ariana Leatherby, Maria Martinez, Hannah McCreary, Kaylee Page, Chase Prow, Angel Razo, Laura Read, Valerie Rogers, Kevin Roliard, James Ronk, Zaria Ross, Citalli Santos, Kyle She, Jason Shoemaker, Tierra Smith, Christina Sunley, Keerthi Suresh, Jaclyn Thornton, Abigail Walker, Kirsten Whiteside and Jeffrey Williams.

CUBA

My recommendation for Cuba: go to Cuba and experience the desolation, hopelessness, and feeling of impotence physically, or don’t go to Cuba and keep its people and history tucked away in a book. Stories never have only one side, and here is my experience with Cuba’s story.

Originally, I did not want to visit Cuba. I promised myself I would not go to Cuba while it was controlled by a dictatorship, but sometimes it is easier for me to understand the perspective of other people when I live their so-called ideologies. This is how I came to stay in Havana for two long days. Havana, the place where the nefarious agreement between President Santos and the Voices of FARC was given life.

I was not curious to visit a place that froze in 1950 and chose to only change for the government's executives, not its ordinary citizens. If that was what I wanted to experience, I could have easily visited the Amish community in Lancaster where one of the few non-negotiable pillars of society -based on first amendment rights - is physical freedom. However, Cuba still has that idealized appeal that the self-proclaimed leftists love; a bloody and oppressive story that continues to haunt the citizens.

Cuba has that paradise-like magic that the progressive liberal gringos love; destroyed colonial-style streets, remembrances of Che Guevara on every street corner, cans overflowing with garbage lining the walkways, and the almost physical presence of misery and oppression of the people. You can almost hear their distressing stories shouting passively for freedom. Cuba’s charm lies in everything that evokes the forbidden, the denied, the warned, and the snatched.

Not to mention my Colombian compatriots who are seen on Facebook commemorating the life of Che Guevara or who are shocked by the death of Castro. Yet, these same people are asking, on the same Facebook wall, who will be travelling from Miami to Colombia to bring them the Xbox, Nintendo, or PlayStation for their children, or Levi’s pants for themselves. Those same people that spend every Friday sitting at a little bohemian look bar ironically buying Mojitos or Cubalibre with the pesos earned throughout the week.

In Cuba, 95% of the people cannot afford outings to restaurants on the weekends, and the restaurants belong to the government. Prices are in Cuban convertible peso (CUC), which is the currency for foreigners arriving in Cuba.

Cuba has two currencies: the Cuban peso and the Cuban convertible peso (CUC). Their salary is earned in Cuban pesos, but they can only buy things in CUC. The exchange rate is 0.03 US dollar for every Cuban peso and 1 US dollar for each Cuban convertible peso. In other words: on average they earn $8/month, but they need $120/month to live decently. The leftists further rape the people by saying, “but in Cuba, people do not die of hunger.” Evidently not, but they do die on their knees, humiliated and without freedom.

Being born in Cuba is like being born a slave forever. No one born in Cuba can leave unless they are sponsored from other countries or they take a raft to the Bahamas. But those same leftist Colombians defend themselves with, “but in Cuba health care is free.” HA! Don’t make me laugh. They want free healthcare, but in Colombia, they complain about Law 100 that allows lower class citizens access to free health care. Capitalist models like Canada put the patient first and have better social conditions in order to sustain a health system where everyone has rights and no one needs to beg for health care. But, if they have such a great example in Cuba, why even bother comparing themselves with Canada?

They have free education but, for what purpose? If a diploma cannot guarantee a dignified life, prostitution (oops, tourism) is the only way to go (it is one of the largest sources of income for the Cuban female population). A medical student may have a better chance to get into a university than a barman does, but a barman makes a better living. Barmen cater to the tourists, those same tourists from capitalist countries that come to see the ‘wonder’ of Cuba and fill themselves with the promising illusions of the distant (nonexistent) Cuban future.

Shocking facts:

·       There is no private property. For example, if a family owns a 1950 American car, which has been passed down from generation to generation, they cannot use this car unless they pay a tax to the government and also join the government-owned 'agency'.

·       They only have 6 TV channels, which are provided by the government of course.

·       Books are controlled by the government (another form of brainwashing)

·       There is no violence among Cubans, but between Cubans and tourists.

·       Internet access is infiltrated; it is monitored so that access to imperialist ideas is blocked.

·       Sometimes 2 or 3 families live together in the same house. After seeing how much of a mess your own kids and spouse can make, I cannot imagine how messy those houses can be.

·       Citizens do not have the right to carry arms. Why should they?? This is the same thing that President Santos did after stealing the election and the plebiscite and left us disgusted.

·       I cannot imagine how the rest of Cuba can be if this is what they determine to be the best side to show to the tourists.

·       Cubans are happy with their lives in Cuba. The degree of happiness is inversely proportional to the number of Cubans waiting for their visas at the doors of the Spanish Embassy.

·       If you want to go to the beaches, get another visa other than the ‘people to people’ visa. This one only allows you to walk the streets.

Positives:

·       The food is delicious. ·       The people still retain the warmth of the Caribbean. ·       The Cubans have not lost hope; the new generations know the right direction for Cuba.
