Meet Interdisciplinary Archivist Jenny Yurshansky

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 09:46:25 GMT

For interdisciplinary artist Jenny Yurshansky, home has never really been a place—at least not in the strict geographical sense. She was born during her parents’ immigration, in the middle of a fraught journey between continents, and that foundational statelessness has informed her sense of self and relationship to the world ever since. In her research-infused art practice, she deftly unravels personal, geopolitical, and often botanical histories—finding ready metaphors in nature for the malleable structure of societies and of families, and undeniable power in direct engagement and individual storytelling. Based in true stories and science-minded inquiry, given form through meaningful objects from embroidered textiles to large-scale sculptural installations, oral and photographic archives, books and texts, photographs, and a variety of further materials as best suited to the matters under examination. Her current project, Rinsing the Bones, invites audience participation in creating...

Turf wars: NFL players and owners are at odds over replacing artificial surfaces with grass

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 09:46:25 GMT

On TV or from the stands, it’s nearly impossible to tell one NFL field from another without the colorful team logos painted in the end zones.But an increasing number of players and coaches, including the 49ers’ George Kittle and Nick Bosa, are asking the NFL to take a closer look into the league’s growing turf war.The merits and safety concerns of artificial turf vs. natural grass have been debated since the Philadelphia Eagles became the first NFL team to play on AstroTurf in 1969 – three years after it made its debut in the Houston Astrodome. But with salaries and team values continuing to skyrocket, the stakes have never been higher for the players or the league.“No one knows the beating that our bodies take on turf more than us — the players,” former 49ers defensive end Solomon Thomas posted on Twitter late last season. “The sport is violent enough. We shouldn’t be taking more damage from the field, too.”San Francisco 49ers’ Solomon Thomas (94) is carted off the field duri...

Desmond King doesn’t know why the Texans cut him. He’s not complaining after landing in Pittsburgh.

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 09:46:25 GMT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Desmond King isn’t sure why the Houston Texans cut him last week. The veteran cornerback also doesn’t particularly care.It took all of 48 hours for King to find a new gig, one at the other end of the NFL spectrum. King practically sprinted to Pittsburgh, eager to join a defense littered with stars and an organization that hasn’t been through a full-on rebuild like the Texans are undergoing in decades.The Steelers signed King on Thursday to give them another experienced voice in a secondary that includes perennial All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and eight-time Pro Bowler Patrick Peterson. By Monday afternoon King was out on the practice field trying to absorb as much of the playbook as he can before Sunday’s opener against San Francisco.Asked if it’s reasonable to think he can learn enough to get on the field this weekend, King just laughed.“Absolutely,” he said. “As long as I know what everybody’s doing, I’ll play whereve...
