The Aesthetics and Politics Study Group meets at 3:30 PM on the first and third Sundays of every month at Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative. Everyone is welcome.
Newcomers are always welcome! We are motivated by a desire to engage with art together, through discussion, and by a commitment to make, enjoy, and critically evaluate art. We think about art through politics. All genres of musical, literary, visual, and performative arts are game, and we define art broadly. Each meeting will have a facilitator, who will lead a discussion of at least one work of art along with readings of manageable lengths.

Our next meeting will be Sunday, March 4 @ 3:30 PM. We've decided to read the first ten of Schiller's _Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man_, which you can find at the attached link. We'll also be discussing ideas for organizing and events. As always, newcomers are welcome!
Aesthetical and Philosophical Essays, by Frederick Schiller Convinced by my preceding letters, you agree with me on this point, that man can depart from his destination by two opposite roads, that our epoch is actually moving on these two false roads, and that it has become the prey, in one case, of coarseness, and elsewhere of exhaustion and depravity. ...

From Greg Sholette and Yates McKee, NY comrades in support of our last week's discussion....
We're pleased to announce the third meeting of the study group, which will be held at 3:30PM on Sunday, 12/4/11 at Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative (426 W. Gilman St in Madison). Newcomers are welcome! We decided to do a little reading and listening before we meet. Links to those materials can be found in the first four comments to this post.
We started to answer some of these questions at today's meeting of the Aesthetics and Politics Study Group. We came to discuss the Paris Commune of 1871, but the conversation quickly turned to last week's events at UC Davis -- the sheer beauty of a political moment. Thanks to all who joined us for a fun discussion!
