Alex Blackstock is to be awarded the second annual Geballe Prize for Writing for the paper "Seeing Red: The Bolshevik Poster Propaganda Campaign and the Psychology of Social Cohesion" written for Stanford's Program in Writing and Rhetoric course, "Speaking with Things: The Rhetoric of Display." We are pleased to learn that the exhibition "Revolutionary Tides: The Art of the Political Poster, 1914–1989" at the Cantor Arts Center provided Alex with visual material inspiring the research for this paper.

SHL believes that some crucial questions — about what it is to be human, about experience in a connected world, about the boundaries of culture and nature — transcend old divisions between the arts, sciences and humanities; between the academy, industry and the cultural sphere. We engage in experimental projects with a "laboratory" ethos — collaborative, co-creative, team-based — involving a triangulation of arts practice, commentary/critique, and outreach, merging research, pedagogy, publication and practice. Beyond commentary and discussion, we build: new media, interactive archives, predictive models of social change, collaborative research workshops, art exhibitions. The SHL agenda encompasses • animating archives - regenerating, bringing to life,
and fostering new modes of interaction with the storehouses of human, cultural, artistic, scientific achievement - our focus is on the question of the relationship of the human past to efforts at conservation and preservation Previous Posts
