I Have Peopled The Silence With Names.     Have I Ripped Mind And Heart To Pieces To Fall Into Servitude

Should I summon sw33test stasis Under quiet silver shine With gentle fingertip traces Drinking tangy clementine... Should I discover perfect poise Over unfurled carnation flow Symphonic gardens from noise Where peach painted rose bushes grow... If there existed Δ True Balance, between desires and austerity Would you give fantasy another chance To become reality...? til the cat nips, Brian =)

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.

Who is it that seeks to withhold what it considers the most prized information regarding (ironically) ‘pd’ (and even other more trivial info) *and* creative efforts?? Who is it that thinks they are possessions??

it wants to be manifested from the ether as opposed to being produced from prolonged research (and yes actual practice) like some kind of dijinn or elemental. it pretends to be its own god but it serves the audience by this *image management* spiritual materialism is a real danger for the likes of these. "you may have not lost all your marbles, but there is definitely a hole in the bag"

There is nothing wrong with being Earthy!

You’re constantly on my mind and my hands can’t stop thinking about you.

Calmness is the cradle of "true power"

Our cultural fixation on female thinness is not an obsession with female beauty but an obsession with female obedience.
