A TRIBUTE TO VENICE POET LAUREATE PHILOMENE LONG
Join us in a memorial tribute to the great Venice Poet Laureate PHILOMENE LONG, who passed unexpectedly this August 21st. Prolific author, poet, and muse, Long defined the Venice spark. In addition to being partner to Venice West legend Stuart Perkoff, then longtime wife and partner to poet John Thomas, she was a worldwide Beat luminary for books including American Zen Bones: Maezumi Roshi Stories, and The California Mission Poems. Her Book of Sleep, Bukowski in the Bathtub, and The Ghosts of Venice West were written with John Thomas. Her own poetry collections are The Queen of Bohemia and Cold Eye Burning (both Lummox), and her films include The Beats: An Existential Comedy. Join family, friends, and some of Los Angeles's most noted, poets, writers, actors and artists for this tribute to the writer, poet, filmmaker, and friend who will live forever as the symbol of Venice and the Queen of Bohemia. Co-sponsored by the Venice Arts Council.
Up to five years ago, our politicians claimed Germany wasn't an immigration country, although there are the 'insignificant' number of 5 million Turks living here. Today, our industry says it direly needs immigrants to offset the lack of skilled labor with our ageing population. But our society still has not found a way to integrate our 'citizens with a migratory background' (politically correct German speak for immigrants).

The Truth Is ... I really have no idea what the industry I am training students for will look like.
Journalism is, according to one of its young stars, undergoing an existential change and where that will end no-one knows.
But as Hamish Macdonald told journalism students at QUT today there are a few truths about the industry.
There is a greater hunger for information than there has ever been in the past but how people want to receive that is changing and the industry has to change to meet that. Falling audiences tell us we can't just keep doing more of the same.
Macdonald doesn't purport to know all the answers but he has developed a new way of telling journalistic stories.
The Truth Is? will premiere on Network 10 next month and if the reaction of the next generation of journalists is anything to go by he has a hit on his hands.
Macdonald today delivered a shot in the arm for any student worrying about the state of the industry they are entering, reminding them that more Australians watch the news and the average news viewer is younger than in other countries.
On top of that, the new journalism students - those who check Twitter and Facebook before turning on the radio, television or picking up the newspaper - will be the ones leading the change and they should seize the day.
And Macdonald's top tip for how to get that elusive journalism job - go overseas. The world is your oyster go grab it. The Truth? I reckon they can handle that truth.
Some people think depression is like sadness, unhappiness, grief, negative emotion.
It is the opposite of all these things.
It is meaninglessness itself.
This panel could really stand on its own, but it leads into a further four-parter which I really need to keep together.
For quite a while I debated whether or not to upload this to flickr. This is very confessional, and brought tears to my eyes when I scanned it and saw the results.
This is about my childhood and my childhood dreams. That tree is about as old as I am (parts are frequently sawed off so it doesn't destroy everything around it), and I'd spend lonely afternoons lying around the grass, listening to Astor Piazolla on a cassette tape walkman, dreaming of being great -- an artist, a scient, a poet, a warrior, a magician, a king.
I seem to be cursing things as I photograph them; many urban scenes I've posted on flickr have been destroyed to build something else weeks after I took pictures. I don't know how I would react if the Seventh Tree (don't ask) was cut down. I might lose days of work lying on my bed crying about how living means throwing away most dreams to focus on a few and how one is constantly losing almost (and this is a key word: almost) everything that once mattered.
Anyway, there it is -- a representation of my happiest and most meaningful formative moments and of the existential weight that being a dreamer carries, captured in a 36 x 24mm piece of film. This is probably the most personally significant photograph I ever took. Thread with care on this one.

There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.

i kept the lens distortion, i like what it adds to the composition and a bit of fallibility humanises the image
Danish existential philosopher Soren Kierkegaard died at the age of 42 at the height of his fame. He was laid to rest in Assistens Kirkegård Cemetery in Copenhagen (Kierkegaard's last name does sound like the word for cemetery in Danish, i.e. 'church-garden'). He was buried together with members of his family. This photo shows one of the memorial stones in the family plot, with Soren Kierkegaard's name below two siblings who died aged 12 and 25. The writing below Kierkegaard's name is a poem by an 18th century Danish Christian hymn writer, Hans Brorson, that Kierkegaard wished to be inscribed on his tombstone:
"It is a little while
then I have won,
then the whole struggle
with one disappeared,
then I can rest
in rose halls,
and incessantly
my Jesus speech"
Brian was in an existential funk.
Get up, take the subway, go to work, take the subway, go to bed… what for?
He never realized that his very presence gave us strength, as he was proof there was real porpoise in life.

Progetto Arcevia 2.0/12
In 1972, Italo Bartoletti initiated Progetto Arcevia, a vision of an existential community which simultaneously enriched the local community of Palazzo d’Arcevia (Italy) while at the same time providing a site for creatives – artists, philosophers, architects – to come together and collaborate.
40 years later, Bartoletti’s vision has been embraced by a group of young London-based designers, Unit +. In September 2012, five members of Unit + journeyed to Riserva Privata San Settimio, the very site that Bartoletti first cultivated for Progetto Arcevia, and which is still owned by his family today. Using experiential and live mapping techniques across a range of different media (conceptual documentaries, sketches, models and a fairy tale inspired comic book), Unit + explored, documented and analysed their impressions of the site.
Through their dynamic engagement with all aspects of the Riserva, they experimented with colour-coded navigation systems, a proposal for a ‘floating’ meditation room and a towering sundial. Through the support and enthusiasm of Bartoletti’s family and the Riserva, Unit + will return in Spring 2013 to initiate these projects.
Crucial to Progetto Arcevia 2.0/12 is the fact that the fundamental ideals remain the same; Unit + are committed to operating as “a thought factory and creativity lab”, a team that values collaboration and cooperation. Their work at the Riserva in 2013 represents not only a continuation of one man’s vision, but the revitalisation of concepts that are intrinsic to collaborative design.
The olive tree has not only an existential meaning for the Palestinians, but it is part of the family as well. The fields are inherited from generation to generation. During the olive harvest in autumn, the whole family comes together and collects the valuable livelihood.
During the 41 years of occupation, the Israeli occupation forces uprooted hundreds of thousands of olive trees. The most beautiful were taken and planted in Israeli settlements - e.g. in Maale Adumim.
The more I learn about myself, the more I fear myself. I’m told I should remain neutral. A Switzerland of the mind.

Oh how I loved this book! Tina is assigned to keep a diary for her Existenstialism class at a Southern California high school - and she bares all. Wry commentary on her life as a teen girl (crushes and all), and some cultural idiosynracies experienced as a young East Indian female living in America. I would love to buy a copy of this book, just to color the gorgeous illustrations!
The phrase “existential threat” is often bandied about in the media in discussing the status of Israel and that Middle East. What exactly does that mean? It means simply that your life and that of your country could end at any time— depending on the actions of another party; Iran.
Threats against Israel abound. Just recently, Sheikh Ahmad Bahr, deputy speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, delivered a televised sermon that called for the annihilation of every Jewish person and all those who support them. He said, “Oh, Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters…the Americans and their supporters. Oh, Allah, count them one by one, and kill them all, without leaving a single one.”
Bahr did not just single out Israel, but the United States as well. He is not the first, and he won’t be the last to threaten the Jewish state. The leaders of Iran, and especially President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, have for years been calling for the obliteration of Israel—the utter annihilation of the Jewish people.
I still remember the days of Civil Defense drills from when I was in elementary school. We were marched out into the hallways and made to sit along the walls. Or sometimes we had to crawl under our desks and cover our heads with our arms. This was done because a Russian leader, Nikita Khrushchev, had made threats against the United States and people feared a nuclear war.
It is hard for the U.S. public to wrap their minds around the very real possibility that we could, once again, be the target of a madman bent on our destruction.
It seems that the rhetoric has been ramped up in past weeks. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, called Zionism “a danger for all humanity.” Ahmadinejad bombastically shouted that Israel’s very existence was an “insult to all humanity.” Shortly thereafter, he regaled a group of Muslim leaders with this challenge: “Anyone who loves freedom and justice must strive for the annihilation of the Zionist regime.”
Like the long ago drills of the 1950s, many have forgotten the desperate days of World War II— ghettos, concentration camps, ovens, and mass graves whose maws swallowed up tens of thousands of the innocent. The Jewish people have not forgotten! The roll call of the dead includes mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, cousins, and children who perished—a total of six million. This is something the Israelis will never forget—ever!
There are few, if any, who envy Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the horrendously difficult choice of whether or not to preemptively strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. Calls for diplomacy, negotiations, and sanctions go out daily, and still Iran resists all efforts and entreaties to halt its work. Instead it has accelerated its endeavors.
It seems probable that were Iran to attack Israel, the United States would take up the gauntlet. The results in Iran would be calamitous. But it was the leader of the Iranian Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini who said, “I say let Iran go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.” Ahmadinejad was also a student of Khomeini and shares his views and value system.
With the fanatical Muslim mindset of jihad and all that portends for the terrorist martyrs who have little regard for human life, many would volunteer to march forward into paradise for the sake of the destruction of the Zionist regime. An apocalyptic event such as a retaliatory war following a strike on Israel would be just what Ahmadinejad craves, and what he believes will ensure the return of the “twelfth imam” who will institute Islamic sharia rule over the entire world.
For the full set of my insights on threats for the annihilation of Israel and the Jewish people
