John Will : Ain't Paralyzed Yet
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This catalogue to accompany Will’s travelling exhibition contains critical essays by J. Spalding and C. Sowiak, and brief “testimonials” by twenty-seven invited writers (primarily artists). Sowiak’s essay on selected works in the exhibition focuses on the autobiographical dimension of the artist’s “celebrity paintings” and “chro-nicles.” His interpretation of Will’s practice – incorporating lithography, painting, photography, video and text – draws attention to how humour, irony and satire are used to explore subjects of fame, organized religion, popular culture, world politics and war. Spalding traces the evolution of the artist’s work. His interpretation of relationships between the visual, linguistic and ready-made elements of Will’s text paintings, highlights the social/existential concerns being addressed. Special attention is given to the artist’s place within Calgary’s arts community and experiences at NSCAD (Halifax). Includes an artist’s chronology by C. McNichol, a list of works and transcripts of textual elements in two recent works: “Sixty Years of Hell” (1900-2000) and “Forty Years of Purgatory” (2000). 23 bibl. ref.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
