Show t THE FORUM - 15 2, 2011 NOVEMBER Installation Occupy Continued from Page 13 Continued from Page Hie Machine After a long path of brainstorming and planning, we are able to use the machine. It is a challenge to keep the wild stallions focused, said Simpson with a smile. But with persistence it will be worth it Before seeing the machine, I had pictured only a small room with a desk and only some windows, no bathroom, no kitchen just a machine and some natural light shining through the windows. Nope, wrong again. Simpson welcomed us into her beautiful studio and home. It is a really nice house that has all die equipment we need to make our installation happen, said Gutierrez. The machine is located in the driveway next to the garage that was dedicated to other art projects we are working on. The machine has a metal square tub where the bees wax melts and a panel is dipped into the tub using a picture wire pulley system that is hand-wovand reinforced with wood strips. It takes five people at different stations to run die machine. Jill Watanabe, first assistant for art production, is the captain when it comes to preparing and running the machine. We work upstairs in the house in order to digitally print our images on the clear polyester film with the help from Frazer and Westminster graduate Rachel Carver. We are all still working on die many steps it takes to make an art installation piece. I have noticed that even when the class, including myself, gets frustrated with the process or we . run into a challenge, we still push forward. This is a unique project and we all appreciinate the opportunity to build a large-sca- le stallation. You can expect a pretty dynamic installation on campus in the upcoming weeks. en 1 to health care and corporate greed to an ineffective senate.

The movement operates in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. The Occupy Movement aims to change what they call a broken system. According to Occupy Salt Lakes website, members of the movement stand against the one percent of Americans who have become wealthy using corrupt business practices. Signs throughout Pioneer Park in downtown Salt Lake read: We are the 99, the creed of the Occupy Movement. Occupy Salt Lake took over the park nearly a month ago, on Oct. 6. Tents, police tape and protestors filled the park, and still they remain. Occupy Salt Lake feels that the majority of Americans no longer have representation by congress and that it is time things change. The group, which is officially occupying Pioneer Park, has also held demonstrations and protests outside the Salt Lake City branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Signs urging End the Fed and Stop the Corruption can be seen at both ' p ", i marx-' m 1 LaDonna Harris Wednesday November 16, 2011 4:00 pm Core School of Business Auditorium With 40 years of experience in UStribal relations and federal Indian policy, as well as activism in civil rights, environmental protection, the women's movement, and world peace, is uniquely qualified to address the legacy of colonization and the Impact of cultural oppression.

The south end of the park has been dedicated to the campers, but there is also a Free School and Sacred Place used for meditation, yoga and morning meetings. The Free School allows anyone to sign up to teach classes, which are also held at the Sacred Place' in the park. To onlookers, it may not seem so sa- cred. Aside from the candle and nicely sectioned off circle, the park is scattered with old signs, bottles and trash. Signs asking occupants to pick up their trash dont seem to be effective at stopping the litter accumulated by hundreds of impromptu residents. The litter is only one of the issues that has risen since occupation started. Occupy Salt Lake is sharing the park with multiple groups. The Downtown Farmers Market also uses the park and so do many of downtowns homeless. Just outside the yellow police tape lay blankets and various other signs of the homeless inhabitants. Pioneer Park has a reputation for playing home to drug dealers and the destitute in need of somewhere to sleep. Some of the homeless arent so willing to share their space. Recently a small skirmish between a homeless woman and a male protestor erupted through the cold evening air f you, get out, yelled the woman. Screw b, I have a right to protest, and you to protect myself in any way I see fit, yelled the man. Communities where Occupy has rooted itself have issues. The litter, the unrest and the public disturbances have gotten out of hand. From Wall Street to San Francisco there have been multiple incidents involving violence and illegal activity. According to Fox News, tear gas was used on protestors in Oakland, California. Eighty-thre- e people were arrested at the makeshift camp on charges of illegal camping and unlawful assembly. Fox News also covered police raids at Woodruff Park in Atlanta, Ga. Fifty protestors were arrested after refusing to vacate the park they had inhabited for nearly two weeks. The Occupy Movement has spread from coast to coast and beyond. Austria, South Korea, Sweden, Australia, Japan and England are just a few of the countries that have Occupy Movements.
