Culture is NOT yr Friend

What civilization is, is 6 billion people trying to make themselves happy by standing on each other's shoulders and kicking each other's teeth in. It's not a pleasant situation.

And yet, you can stand back and look at this planet and see that we have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love and the community to produce a kind of human paradise. But we are led by the least among us - the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary. We are led by the least among us and we do not fight back against the dehumanizing values that are handed down as control icons.

This is something, culture is not your friend. Culture is for other people's convenience and the convenience of various institutions, churches, companies, tax collection schemes

It is not your friend.

It fetishizes objects, creates consumer mania, it preaches endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understanding in the form of squirrelly religions and silly cults.

"No Berlusconi Day"

clipper's remarks: They promptly opened a Facebook group under this header:

SALVIAMO L'ITALIA, SALVIAMO LA DEMOCRAZIA. BERLUSCONI DIMETTITI.

LET'S SAVE ITALY. LET'S SAVE DEMOCRACY. BERLUSCONI STEP DOWN.

Saturday, December 5 was designated “No Berlusconi Day (NBD)”. The campaign spread quickly on the Internet with videos, blogs, and tweets, as well as offline, through word of mouth. In little more than a month over 280,000 people pledged to host a public event on “No Berlusconi Day” via the main Facebook group, with groups formed in many cities in Italy and around the world, including San Francisco and Sacramento (California), Ottawa and Montreal (Canada), Buenos Aires (Argentina), London, Madrid, Vienna, and Istanbul - where local rallies will be held on the same day.

On October 9, Italy's highest Court ruled that Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's immunity from prosecution while in office — guaranteed by a special law passed by his own center-right government in 2008 — was unconstitutional. This decision has reopened two pending trials that accuse Berlusconi of false accounting and bribery.

Since the court decision, the prime minister has launched a campaign accusing “leftist” judges, the national and foreign press, and even Italy's president, Giorgio Napolitano of political bias against him. Last week, the government introduced a bill promoted as “one of the most radical reforms of Italy's snail-paced justice system since the end of World War II”

On the same day of the verdict, October 9, a group of bloggers, citizens and intellectuals

not politically involved or belonging to any parties

launched the idea of a national protest against Berlusconi

a Uni Verse in Black and White

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:57:31 GMT

clipped by: syncopath
clipper's remarks: Yes, I know this road will take me nowhere
There's no reason I should go there
I should turn and walk away.
I know every pebble on the path
As I knew coming back
Would only bring me sadness
Still I stay, what can I do or say

To end this love's enchantment
I deny it, I avoid it
It bewitches every single step I take
With the same sad facts and sorrows
Like an album of old photos
I can't bring myself to put away

Still the fool I was so long ago
I look for answers where I know
I've only found despair before.
I relive the days of madness
Sleepless nights, the poems, the sadness,
Still I cannot turn away
There's more for me to say
This is my sin.

I bring them down into the light
These photographs in black and white
Yes, that's the way it always starts
I add a sonnet to my sad collection
Words of sorrow and dejection
Etched upon an aching heart.
Another sonnet for my sad collection
Full of sorrow and dejection
To abuse my broken heart.

Retrato em branco e preto

Tom Jobim - Chico Buarque/1968

Já conheço os passos dessa estrada
Sei que não vai dar em nada
Seus segredos sei de cor
Já conheço as pedras do caminho
E sei também que ali sozinho
Eu vou ficar, tanto pior
O que é que eu posso contra o encanto
Desse amor que eu nego tanto
Evito tanto
E que no entanto
Volta sempre a enfeitiçar
Com seus mesmos tristes velhos fatos
Que num álbum de retratos

Eu teimo em colecionar

Lá vou eu de novo como um tolo
Procurar o desconsolo
Que cansei de conhecer
Novos dias tristes, noites claras
Versos, cartas, minha cara
Ainda volto a lhe escrever
Pra lhe dizer que isso é pecado
Eu trago o peito tão marcado
De lembranças do passado
E você sabe a razão
Vou colecionar mais um soneto
Outro retrato em branco e preto
A maltratar meu coração

The Jazz Baroness the love story of Nica Rothschild and Thelonious Monk

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:23:42 GMT

clipped by: syncopath
clipper's remarks: Among the most compelling segments is the story of how Nica and Monk met. Then married, Nica was introduced by a friend to Monk?s “?Round Midnight,” which would become one of the most recorded jazz standards of all time. “I couldn't believe my ears,” she recalled. “I'd never heard anything remotely like it.” Nica set out to find Monk, finally meeting him two years later. Interestingly, for all the mutual love and devotion that developed between them, some speculate that their relationship was essentially platonic. Monk remained married to his wife, Nellie, who seemed to embrace the unusual love triangle.

The Jazz Baroness the love story of Nica Rothschild and Thelonious Monk on HBO

Pannocia Rothschild was a beautiful British-born heiress from a powerful Jewish dynasty. Theloniious Monk was a quirky African-American musical genius who helped pioneer the jazz revolution known as bebop. The two people from different backgrounds met in Paris in the 1950s and were inseparable for the next 28 years, as she became a loyal friend and fiercely protective patron of some of the era's greatest musicians.

Rothschild's film profiles an extraordinary woman who devoted herself to the cause of New York's jazz elite, who were not only struggling artistically, but battling a racist culture. Nica sheltered them when they were broke, bailed them out of jail and helped them cope with their drug habits

Before Rothchild died

Nica made a special request. “I would like my ashes to be scattered on the Hudson River in the evening, around midnight,” she said. “Yes, that's right, I said ' 'r'ound midnight'

New kind of Art ? Crochet and Knit Graffiti

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:38:49 GMT

clipped by: syncopath
clipper's remarks: Magda Sayeg, founder of the original knit graffiti crew Knitta Please, works to redefine a craft that has been relegated to the stuffy attic of people's brains and dismissed by a limited vision for knitting's purpose,
its function, its practitioners. Sayeg's work repositions
this granny pastime in public spaces, streets formerly dominated by a hard, masculine public art culture.
The fuzzy tags invoke entirely different connotations, antagonizing expectations and initiating dialogue about community-driven art and intersections between art
and craft.

"Knitta, Please" Lives On And Goes International

It's been three years since we first wrote about Knitta, the Montrose artistes who were pioneering the art of guerrilla knitting.

Since then the phenomenon has spread worldwide, according to today's UK Telegraph.

The phenomenon, called Yarnbombing, is thought to have originated in the US but knitters are now beginning to cover British streets in woollen 'tags'.

Quite often dozens of balls of coloured wool are used to make huge sleeves or cosies which are then stitched onto a fixed object, sometimes done under the cover of darkness.

The Guardian reports that two Canadian knitters are about to publish a book called Yarnbombing: The Art of Knit Graffiti.

Thousands cheer 20 years since fall of Berlin Wall

Angela Merkel — Germany's first chancellor to be raised in the former communist east — called the events of Nov. 9, 1989 an "epic" moment in history.

"We remember the people of the Baltics who joined hands across their land ... we remember the students of Prague who propelled a dissident playwright from a jail cell to the presidency," she said. "And tonight we remember the Germans, and especially the Germans in the East who stood up to say 'No more.'"

Merkel also recalled the tragic side of Nov. 9 for Germans — the Nazis' Kristallnacht, or Night of Broken Glass

"Both show that freedom is not self evident," Merkel said. "Freedom must be fought for. Freedom must be defended time and again."

She lauded Gorbachev, with whom she shared an umbrella amid a crush of hundreds, eager for a glimpse of the man many still consider a hero for his role in pushing reform in the Soviet Union.

the Treachery of image - Magritte pipe's diversity

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:49:27 GMT

Clip Source: neurologicalcorrelates.com

Clip Source: en.wikipedia.org

The Treachery of Images (La trahison des images 1928–29) is a series of paintings by René Magritte, the most noted of which is famous for its inscription Ceci n'est pas une pipe

As Magritte himself commented: "The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it's just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture 'This is a pipe,' I'd have been lying!"

Clip Source: ezinearticles.com

With "The Treachery of Images" Magritte questions, the inherent tendency of the human mind to habitually label everything we see, overlooking the need to find a deeper meaning. Magritte presents a very simple example to convey how our perceptions and the habitual use of language can falsely manipulate our thinking. "The Treachery of Images" was a powerful work with which Rene Magritte challenges the common norms of communication and interpretation. It was a great influence on many conceptual artists.
