FINE ARTS GALLERY, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

During the past three decades, Adrian Piper has amassed (Archive Management And Storage System) Tape management software from Advanced Digital Information Corporation (ADIC), Redmond, WA (www.adic.com) that runs under Unix (a version used to run under NT). On the front end, it makes the tape library look like an infinite disk drive to the application. On the back end, it manages the robotic mechanisms that move the required tape cartridges to the available tape drives. both artistic and scholarly oeuvres OEUVRE - Ocean Ecology: Understanding and Vision and Research (she moonlights as a neo-Kantian philosopher), though the intellectual underpinnings of the former are often indistinguishable from those of the latter. In Piper's highly influential art, tools both intellectual and artistic open up issues of racism, sexism, and the problematics of self. Curator Maurice Berger has selected some fifty objects, videos, and installations to bring out the complex pleasures of Piper's conceptualism conceptualism, in philosophy, position taken on the problem of universals, initially by Peter Abelard in the 12th cent. Like nominalism it denied that universals exist independently of the mind, but it held that universals have an existence in the mind as concept. These concepts are not arbitrary inventions but are reflections of similarities among particular things themselves, e.g., the concept male reflects a similarity between Paul and John.. The catalogue includes essays by Berger, Kobena Mercer, and Jean Fisher. Oct. 14, 1999-Jan. 15, 2000; travel dates and venues to be announced.
