westword.com Art Dumb and Dumber 2003-06-26 In the '80s Borofsky found his niche in the famous-artist category with installation art, filling galleries with drawings, found objects and a cast of figural sculptures made of steel or papier-mâché. Sure, Borofsky is an important artist, but I've never felt that he was great at cutting space with form, and that's painfully apparent in the case of "The Dancers." The feet are too big, and the conventionalizing of the musculature and the features of the faces seem clumsy. Borofsky first gained fame as a conceptual artist back in the 1970s with his counting piece, for which he obsessively counted and then wrote down the numbers on graph paper. www.westword.com /issues/2003-06-26/art.html   (149 words)

Metroactive Movies 'The Last Zapatistas' This is a fiercely partisan documentary, so partisan that it includes a long shot of a fireworks-laden papier-mâché effigy of former President Salinas carrying an attaché case and a bag of loot. Decades after the finish of the Mexican Revolution, Zapata's old soldiers are still on the warpath because of Article 27--the liberalization of Mexican farm-holding regulations, which is closing family farms and opening up the land to development for factories, golf courses and condos, and allowing Yankees to pick up retirement property cheap. But Emiliano Zapata (1879-1919), the rebel leader who was a key figure in the Mexican Revolution, was a former sergeant in the army who assembled a militia of peasants whose land had been seized by speculators--often foriegners--who hoped to make fortunes in the booming sugar cane market. www.metroactive.com /papers/metro/02.25.04/zapatistas-0409.html   (948 words)

Jean Piaget's Genetic Epistemology: Appreciation and Critique A classic demonstration of egocentrism (from a later period) is the three-mountains problem, in which a child is asked to inspect a papier-mâché model of three mountains, one big one and two smaller ones. Egocentrism is fundamentally a cognitive limitation; children are egocentric because they fail to understand how someone else's point of view might be different from their own--or they fail to coordinate their point of view with that other person's. Babies, according to Piaget, are so egocentric that they have to work really hard just to be able to distinguish physical objects from their ways of searching for them. hubcap.clemson.edu /~campber/piaget.html   (13546 words)
