Standing in 3 States at Once | NY, NJ, PA | [Kult America]
People assume that America is a country with no cultural differentiation. In my experience this is untrue. On today's episode of Kult America we will go the place where three states collide and discover what is the real culture of New Jersey on our way. We've see the house of Albert Einstein, the headquarters of George Washington, the crash site of the hindenburg, the filming location of the jersey shore, the high point monument, and took an epic walk through the old cemetery. I believe that this is one of the best trips we've ever made on Kult America and I am extremely proud to invite you on this adventure.

Dr. DA Carter - Ultra Vivid Dreaming - May 2018
2018 Curatorial Prize: Ultra Vivid Dreaming
Curated by Ashley Stull Meyers, Ultra Vivid Dreaming features photography and video work by two emerging artists that upends art historical legacies of portrait making and instead introduces contemporary studies of the body that are divorced from notions of “revealing”. Shikeith and Elliott Jerome Brown Jr. create images that are “ultra vivid” in color, composition, and focus on seemingly mundane environments with surreal undertones. The bodies pictured exist as if in a dream-state, where the subject’s formal attributes and vulnerabilities are carefully considered by the photographer. While these works exist as contemporary representations of Black bodies and Queerness, they also critique the pervasive consumption of Black imagery and culture by an otherwise negligent audience. The subjects of the photos obstruct access to their identities and innermost selves through intentional postures that obscure full visibility, providing only a level of detail tangible in an ultra vivid dream.
Elliott Jerome Brown Jr. (b. 1993) is a conceptual photographer based in Brooklyn, New York, whose work focuses on intimacy, vulnerability, and social perception. He graduated in 2016 with a BFA from New York University and recently finished a residency at Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture in Maine. His work has been exhibited in New York City, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Prague, and Michoacán, Mexico, where he also did a residency at RedLab Laboratorio de Gestión y Vinculación Cultural A.C. In addition to a visual practice, he is also the curator of DATE NIGHT, an interdisciplinary exhibition set in various homes.
Shikeith (b. 1989) is a multi-disciplinary visual artist and filmmaker originally from Philadelphia, PA. He holds a BA from The Pennsylvania State University and he is a 2018 MFA candidate in the sculpture department of Yale School of Art in New Haven, Connecticut, where he currently lives. Shikeith’s public programs and group and solo exhibitions have been held at national and international venues such as the MAK Gallery in London; the Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit; MoMA, the Aperture Foundation, and the Vera List Center in New York City; Pittsburgh’s Kelly-Strayhorn Theatre; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); Morehouse College in Atlanta; the Seattle Art Museum; and the Wrocław Contemporary Museum in Poland, among others. Shikeith’s critically acclaimed documentary “#Blackmendream” (featured in this exhibition) was made possible by funding from multiple grants from The Pittsburgh Foundation and was named by the Tribeca Film Institute as one of ten films that capture the meaning of Black life in America. Shikeith is also the founder of Emerging Black Art.
Ashley Stull Meyers is a writer, editor, and curatorial collaborator. She has curated exhibitions and programming for the Wattis Institute (San Francisco), Eli Ridgway (San Francisco), the Oakland Museum of California, Newspace Center for Photography, Blue Sky Gallery, and Bridge Productions (Seattle, WA). She has been in academic residency at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art (Omaha, NE) and the Banff Centre (Banff, Alberta). She is Northwest Editor for Art Practical, and has contributed writing to Bomb Magazine, Rhizome, Arts.Black and SFAQ/NYAQ. In 2017 Meyers was named the The Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Director and Curator of the Art Gym and Belluschi Pavilion.

Postage stamps and postal history of the United States
The history of postal service of the United States began with the delivery of stampless letters, whose cost was borne by the receiving person, later also encompassed pre-paid letters carried by private mail carriers and provisional post offices, and culminated in a system of universal pre-payment that required all letters to bear nationally issued adhesive postage stamps.
In the earliest days, Ship captains arriving in port with stampless mail would advertise in the local newspaper names of those having mail and for them to come collect and pay for it, if not already paid for by the sender. Postal delivery in the United States was a matter of haphazard local organization until after the Revolutionary War, when eventually a national postal system was established. Stampless letters, paid for by the receiver, and private postal systems, were gradually phased out after the introduction of adhesive postage stamps, first issued by the U.S. government post office July 1, 1847 in the denominations of five and ten cents, with the use of stamps made mandatory in 1855.

Mushroom House - The Goad Team
Terry Brown, Mushroom House Architect, Dies at 53
August 11, 2008
By Jayne Merkel

Terry Brown in 1998 at Eden Park in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Terry Brown, an architect with a unique vision and craft-based practice, was killed in a highway accident on June 28 in Rosebud, Texas. He taught at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and practiced from the 3 Horses Ranch near Rosebud, where he had lived and raised Texas longhorns since 2005. He also maintained a practice in Cincinnati, where he resided for more than two decades. He was 53 years old.
Brown earned a B.Arch. from Iowa State University in 1977 and an M.Arch. from Washington University, St. Louis, in 1979. Upon graduating he began a design internship with Aldo Rossi at Peter Eisenman's Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in Manhattan. He launched his architectural career at Robert A.M. Stern Architects, where he worked for two years before taking a job at Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown in Philadelphia.
He moved to Cincinnati in 1983 to teach at the University of Cincinnati. Later he also taught at Miami University, in nearby Oxford, Ohio. In 1984, he founded a practice with Paul Muller, and then started his own firm, Terry Brown Architects. At first, Brown practiced a rather personal kind of contextual post-modernism. But after a Fulbright Fellowship at the Vienna Academy of Fine Art, in Austria—where, with Professor Otto Graf, he analyzed conceptual pattern relationships between the Viennese Secession movement and the American Prairie School—Brown began to develop a language of his own, drawing on his Midwestern roots.

He started using a variety of materials—wood, colored glass, shell, ceramics, and various metals—and crafting them into irregular shapes reminiscent of those in nature. His structures provide a variety of unusual, sensuous experiences in color, shape, sound, volume, enclosure, and texture. Brown designed a bookstore for the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center in 1989 (before it moved into Zaha Hadid's building in 2003), in addition to offices and numerous residences. His own home and studio, the Mushroom House (sometimes called the Tree House) in Cincinnati, built gradually between 1992 and 2006, is the best known, and has been widely published.
People often commented that his work was like nothing they had ever seen. His projects were controversial, but he was respected by critics and revered by students. Terry believed it was an architect's responsibility to invent solutions for clients that they didn't know were possible, to transform their ideas of what a house could be. Somehow, he made it seem simple to embody the movement of music and nature within a built environment, explains architect Leslie Clark, who studied with and later worked for Brown.
His work was exhibited at the National Building Museum, Contemporary Arts Center, and Architectural League of New York, among other venues. It also was featured in books and periodicals worldwide, including RECORD (Terra Cotta: Past to Present, page 110, January 1987, and Record Interiors: The Contemporary Arts Center Bookstore, page 94, Mid-September 1989).
Brown is survived by his wife of 31 years, Jean Kimball Brown; his parents, Walter and Rosie Burdick Brown; and two brothers, Scott and Gary Brown.

Cayuga County is a county in the U.S. state of New York. As of the 2010 census, the population was 80,026.[1] Its county seat is Auburn.[2] The county was named for one of the tribes of Indians in the Iroquois Confederation.
Cayuga County comprises the Auburn, NY Micropolitan Statistical Area, which is also included in the Syracuse-Auburn, NY Combined Statistical Area.
When counties were established in the Province of New York in 1683, the present Cayuga County was part of Albany County. This was an enormous county, including the northern part of the present state of New York and all of the present state of Vermont and, in theory, extending westward to the Pacific Ocean. This county was reduced in size on July 3, 1766 by the creation of Cumberland County, and further on March 16, 1770, by the creation of Gloucester County, both containing territory now in Vermont.

Michele Gelfand | Rule Makers and Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire Our World
Subscribe to Hidden Forces and gain access to the episode overtime, transcript, and show rundown here:
In Episode 103 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with cultural psychologist Michele Gelfand, who argues that the world’s cultures can be classified into two categories by virtue of their norms. She offers a lucid explanation of how and why cultures become tight or loose, outlining their different societal attitudes. This episode is full of eye-opening insights for development professionals, policymakers and those working in international business.
According to Gelfand, tight cultures have a large number of social norms that enforce order and conformity and tend to evolve in nations that face many natural and human-made threats. Loose cultures, on the other hand, have more lenient norms and tolerate a wider array of behaviors. They generally face fewer chronic threats – but may tighten up temporarily in the event of an acute threat. Furthermore, says Michele, tight and loose cultures each have advantages and disadvantages and it’s possible to modify a nation’s norms in order to address protracted social problems. This is also true in the private sector. In a particularly relevant part of the conversation, Michele describes how businesses also develop tight or loose cultures and how a cultural mismatch can doom a merger or undermine cooperation among a corporation’s divisions. The example she provides is that of Chrysler and Mercedes Benz, but Demetri also raises the example of AOL-Time Warner, perhaps the most prominent failed marriage of the late 90’s stock market boom.
“Tight” cultures, like Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and Germany, embrace rigid norms and mete out harsh punishments for those who deviate. “Loose” cultures, including New Zealand, the United States, and Brazil, are more tolerant of a wide assortment of behaviors. According to Dr. Gelfand, when countries, families, companies, and US states all act in accordance with their divergent conceptions of “normal,” misunderstandings and conflict often arise that help to explain many of the phenomena we encounter in daily life, business, and politics.
The overtime to this week's episode includes a conversation about changing cultural norms in the workplace, as well as how the norms in some western countries began to change after terrorist attacks.
