“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Lectures This Year

Twenty-one. That's not the record, which is 31. Not yet. I'm tackling all my work piece by piece at present, which is the most comfortable way if you're doing such a variety of stuff as well as such an amount. I have a feeling though that by the end of December, I will have done a bit less than last year,  which was 29.

Dark Kaleidoscope

I'm going to be giving a little lecture at the Kunstlerhaus Bethianen today at 6pm. It's very important that we keep our imagination, which is our capacity to open the future, awake, at a time at which the urge to collapse into the fetal position is high. I think there's some art out there that you need inside of you, and we're going to be exploring that from inside some of it, because this is an installation of tremendous power and eloquence called Mirror Matter, by Emilija Škarnulytė.

It's Las Vegas, It's an Accountant, He Has a Machine Gun--and He's in a Show Directed by David Lynch

Premonition. Art is from the future. Told you. NB: the people he's slaughtering are hired assassins.
