Bill Arning: Texas Eccentrics and Queer Renegades: A Curatorial Love Story
BFA Visual & Critical Studies presents pioneering curator Bill Arning, who will give a talk about queerness, provocation and his love affair with the arts.
As a curator, art writer and museum administrator, Bill Arning's path has been unpredictable. Growing up as a teenage punk musician in New York City and coming of age as a gay man in the age of AIDS, his history of working closely with artists early in their careers is legendary. Felix Gonzalez Torres, Marilyn Minter, Jim Hodges, Jack Pierson, Cady Noland, John Currin and Glenn Ligon are among the many now celebrated artists whose first exhibitions were organized by Arning.
In New York City running White Columns, a not for profit alternative space from 1984-1993, Arning became known as one of the curators focused on AIDS, as well and on the expanding discussions around identity, the beginnings of institutional critique and what became known as relational aesthetics. From 2000-2009, as exhibitions curator at the MIT List Visual Arts Center, that tag shifted to being an art/science curator with a specialty on the genesis of what was called new media. During his years at the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, his public profile was tied specifically to feminist painting, with exhibitions of Marilyn Minter and Cheryl Donegan, and continuing to his upcoming Mary Weatherford retrospective, co-curated with the Tang Museum. He enthusiastically gave a national platform to Houston artists like Mark Flood and Thedra Cullar-Ledford. And participating in the global celebrations of Stonewall 50, Arning organized queer-themed shows in Houston, Manchester, UK, and New York, all the while encouraging artistic misbehavior and gleefully risking giving offense. The queer punk rocker has not changed much at all. Arning's talk is guaranteed to give offense to some and encourage the provocative proclivities of many others.

The Sidewalks of New York: The Documentary (CC)
This film is a documentary that begins with the tale of the famous tune and builds every moment toward the fascinating story behind Governor Al Smith, the most forgotten historical figure in American history. The elections of 1924 and 1928 are featured prominently in the story's second half, and along the way a handful of songs from the same time period are played to portray that, while this film is somewhat about the tune 'The Sidewalks of New York', the other songs do their part to lift up and bring the story home, all joining together to complete one of the most inspiring tales in New York history.
To watch with music at a slightly lower volume:
Corrections and updates:
- Joshua Beal (not Joseph) is the proper credit for the panoramic photograph
- Angel Guastaferro performed Pretty Jennie Slattery on piano
- Al Smith's wife Catherine, known as Katie, died several months before Al did, not just one week
- William Wordsworth originally coined the Happy Warrior words

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
