Other Vangardes Œmnibus2 (OVŒ2, an omnibus made up of omnibuses), which include:
The Avant-garde of creative practice in
Museums (The Musies)
Universities (The UNI3s)
Education (The Djookies)
Design without Objects (DeSO2)
Movements (Ensembles)
OVŒ2: where all the works related to museums (The Musies) and universities (The UNI3s). New TYPES of work.
where artistic acumen and poetics,
along with a critical and curatorial aesthetics and politics,
with a very functional design ethos merge to create, again, certain types of works germane to museum practice.
the fact of conceptualizing these new types of stuff, and baptizing them, giving them names, that is, naming them, creating a whole class of possible creations, IS THE ULTIMATE ACT, really.
Generates a new prism through which to make work. A new framework through which to conceptualize and fashion work. A new universe of thinkings and doings!
projects that established the groundwork for academic renewal,
momentous shifts
the opening of the curriculum,
new paradigms for programs
the creation of systems and the implementation of concepts that allowed interdisciplinary and cross-departmental work to take place—and that also allowed departments and disciplinary explorations to flower.
On top of the teaching…1/Systemic Institutional Transformations; 2/Structural Programmatic Creations; 3/Mechanisms and Processes Revisions—reviewing and changing mechanisms and dealing with atomic-level issues related to programs and projects; 4/Conceptualization and Implementation of New Programs; 5/Leadership Contributions; 6/Creative and Critical Curricular and Pan-Curricular Design and Curation! I call the Collected Works here, The University Ninja’s Innovations, Interventions and Instigations (or, I3), and for short, The UNI3s.
