She discusses the usual hits, like current events and raising her (now “not fun at all”) children, but also likes to rely on good audience interaction. Her comedy routine has been evolving for 42 years, and despite her recent memory issues, Poundstone finds a way to create a unique experience for each audience, leaving the piece nearly entirely unscripted. While she hopes that a healing energy isn’t needed for this show, Poundstone is ready to deliver a fresh and funny show for her fans. In a series of interconnected case studies, this book demonstrates that diverse modernists associated with the Armory Show, the Société Anonyme, the Stieglitz circle (especially O’Keeffe), and the Barnes Foundation participated in these discourses and practices and that “kin-aesthetic modernism” greatly influenced the formation of modern art in America and beyond.“The Birchmere was the first job I did after Trump was elected, and I will never forget that experience, I hope, because it was so healing to be with this group of people and to feel free to say what I thought and felt in as comedic a way as I could,” said Poundstone. Situating these complementary ideas and exercises in relation to enduring fears of neurasthenia, she contends that aesthetic modernism shared industrial modernity’s objective of efficiently managing neuromuscular energy. Veder argues that American modernism’s formalist approach to art was galvanized by theories of kinaesthetic bodily response derived from experimental physiological psychology and facilitated by contemporary body cultures such as modern dance, rhythmic gymnastics, physical education, and physical therapy. Davies's engagement with kinaesthetic modernism: the connections among the histories of modern art, body cultures, and physiological aesthetics in early-twentieth-century American culture. In this case study drawn from Veder's book, The Living Line: Modern Art and the Economy of Energy (2015), this catalogue essay profiles Arthur B. Instead of simply taking up the position of either Pillard or Design Seoul, I argue that reading the two together through the notion of enchantment encourages us to be attentive to the multiple sensorial dimensions of the ganpan, thus addressing the nature of the materials that are simultaneously distracting and sense-provoking. While Pillard, as a non-Korean, pays full attention to the minute details of the signscapes with curiosity and revitalizes them through his painterly practice, Design Seoul strives to remove it from the domain of everyday life, thereby establishing a clutter-free cityscape. In doing so, this article offers three bodies of work: first, an introduction to the theories of enchantment second, an analysis of the recent mega-scale urban project called Design Seoul with an emphasis on the ganpan and third, a comparison of Design Seoul with French artist Manoël Pillard’s nightscape paintings of Seoul. In this article, I explore ways in which one can make relationships with the commer- cially saturated environments of contemporary Korea in nuanced ways, by taking the term “the Ganpan Republic” (literally, “the signboard republic”) as a threshold. In a pithy iconoclastic tone redolent of Marshall McLuhan, Weber states: ‘Today the routines of everyday life challenge religion.’ Morality, myth and happiness are tempered by the calculability of everything, which may not be a completely bad thing for those whose public duty is to represent heterogenous moral and political ends. The specialised self-regulating structures of twentieth-century life were, Weber thought, ill-equipped to handle older human needs for spiritual closure, for taking positions on rhetorical unrationalisable questions of self-worth. This has less to do with class inequality or alienation than with how the processes that allow the human intellect to soar are the same ones that produce meaninglessness rationalisation dispirits as it uplifts. In contrast to Marx, Weber held that modernity could be an ‘iron cage’ precisely because of its success. Borrowed from Friedrich Schiller, disenchantment describes the negative effects of scientific reason and bureaucratic regulation, which fail to bring about superior knowledge of the conditions under which one lives. In Max Weber’s assessment, twentieth-century modern life was confronted by the spread of ‘disenchantment’ – from the German Entzauberung, which literally translates to ‘de-magic-ation’.
