N2S, look up additional Chernobyl "Diaries"
Jane and Louise Wilson 303 Gallery
Oddments Room
Internationally acclaimed artists Jane and Louise Wilson are known for their film and photographic works, often exploring states of consciousness and the experience of place. This summer a series of large-scale photographs from their ongoing investigation into the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster premieres at the John Hansard Gallery. The exhibition also features a number of other works, many previously unseen in the UK.
Atomgrad (Nature Abhors a Vacuum), 2010 is a suite of eight photographic prints depicting deserted interiors from the abandoned town of Pripyat, situated within the 30km wide Exclusion Zone around the site of the disaster. Books remain on shelves and desks, bed frames remain intact and once-exquisite parquet flooring lies on the ground like rubble. A yardstick appears within each image and is a recurring motif throughout the exhibition. These objects of measurement – functional yet obsolete – act as a marker of scale and order, alluding to the tensions between association and analysis, memory and material fact.
To understand meditation in a nutshell, go get a camera and take two pictures of the same thing.
For the first, hold your camera as still as possible, and take a picture.
For the second, shake your camera back and forth as fast as you can while you snap the photo.

Figure caption with the NPR political article/source:
"A display of a series of skeletons showing the evolution of humans at the Peabody Museum, New Haven, Conn., circa 1935."
That, and copying Huxley’s famous figure, might be what the museum exhibit creator had in mind, but these 80 or so years later we’re all done recklessly and inaccurately insinuating that we evolved from gorillas, that evolved from chimps, that evolved from orangutans, that evolved from gibbons.
A row of primate skeletons does not depict human evolution any more than a row of dog skeletons depicts the evolution of dogs.
It’s images like this that perpetuate misunderstandings that contribute to the obstacles to evolution acceptance. And of all places to mislead readers about evolution, an article about evolution denial is definitely not one.

Peter Pan laughs at, my most maudlin poetry In this clearer dimension, where you sent me We have cotton candy for clouds But that sweetness cannot spill, down my cheek I used to treasure, even that! A spangle clung to my soul Missing you was an aureole, a silky pink shimmery pride A burgeoning, a beauty, and ready to come? But you took that from me too Your ambitions for us, were only about you My crown is dissolved, like thinly baby threaded adieu The sky is not so fluffy now because, I don’t need a reply Captain Hook...is just another guy No longer displaced My question erased.
What is it about the Dutch that has allowed biking to become an integral part of life?
