Desire/Conceal We search for authenticity in art through artifice and simulated experience. To countervail is to act against with equal force in opposition. Through the investigation of two works in video, performance and installation, the author offers a consideration of the term counterv(e)illance as an interplay of readings premised on selected critical theories which conjure associations of veiling and masking while merging these concepts under the banner of a type of surveillance, concealment and revealing. To counterv(e)il is to effect an intervention, and also a counter-action, an act of agency and equality. The power of objects to generate feelings of anxiety, to question our preconceptions and construct new associations, allows...

A Coven or covan is a name used to describe a gathering of witches or in some cases vampires. Due to the word's association with witches, a gathering of Wiccans, followers of the witchcraft-based neopagan religion of Wicca, is described as a coven. The word was originally a late medieval Scots word (circa 1500) meaning a gathering of any kind, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. It derives from the Latin root word convenire meaning to come together or to gather, which also gave rise to the English word convene. The first recorded use of it being applied to witches comes much later, from 1662 in the witch-trial of Isobel Gowdie, which describes a coven of 13 members. The word coven remained largely unused in English until 1921...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Cozy mysteries are a subgenre of crime fiction in which sex and violence are downplayed or treated humourously. The term was first coined in the late 20th century when various writers produced work that tried re-creating the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. The heroes of such stories are usually amateur detectives, who often have a college degree and use their life experiences as a tool for solving crimes. Often they have a spouse, lover, friend or family member working for the police force, who can therefore provide them with important information about a case to which they would otherwise not have access. The authorities usually dismiss the detective as little more than a nosy gossip and...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Crape (an Anglicized version of the Fr. crepe) is a silk, wool, or polyester fabric of a gauzy texture, having a peculiar crisp or crimpy appearance. (The word crape is also used as an Anglicized spelling of Crepe (pancake)). Silk crape is woven of hard spun silk yarn in the gum or natural condition. There are two distinct varieties of the textile: soft, Canton, or Oriental crape, and hard or crisped crape. Thin crepe is called crepe de Chine ("Chinese crepe"). The wavy appearance of Canton crape results from the peculiar manner in which the weft is prepared, the yarn from two bobbins being twisted together in the reverse way. The fabric when woven is smooth and even, having no crape...
