Available for sale - History and Painting are damn liars, frauds, shams. As well they both express profound truths. If the fraud is performed deftly the recipient of either will become a complicit disciple and agree to turn a blind eye to the deceit, and perpetuate the lie with the inexorable law of inertia.
At best painting can be a fraud perpetrated to tell a deeper truth. At worst history can be a fraud perpetrated to comfort the conscience of the victor, or to further an unsavory agenda.
What is the truth of any person with their contradictions? That person might have an ever lengthening, convoluted path filled perhaps with situational justifications. Where can an observer find the brick immutable truth in the history or representation of a legend, a hero, a despot, killer of ones kin, a cruel or righteous person passed into mythic proportions? Who actually is to judge, to know - if even the subject, the historian, prejudiced bystander or casual viewer? Perhaps the observer is the judge, in turn being judged in perpetuity.

Part of Everything at Once
Presented by Lisson Gallery and The Vinyl Factory at the Store Studios, 180 The Strand
October-December 2017
Lisson Gallery opened on Bell Street in 1967, a year after John Cage’s pronouncement on the changing conditions of contemporary existence. In celebration of this anniversary, the gallery is partnering with The Vinyl Factory to stage ‘EVERYTHING AT ONCE’, an ambitious group exhibition inspired by these words, which could very well apply to our current anxiety-ridden age of ceaseless communication. Through new and historical works by 24 of the artists currently shown by Lisson Gallery (out of more than 150 to have had solo shows over the past 50 years), this extensive presentation aims to collapse half a century of artistic endeavour under one roof, while telescoping its original aims into an unknowable future.
As Cage predicted, we increasingly live in an all-at-once age, in which time and space are no longer rational or linear concepts and great distances can be traversed with an instantaneous click. More than ever before, contemporary art, like life, assaults us simultaneously from all angles and from anywhere on the globe, existing also as multisensory visions of an accelerated world.
In response, ‘EVERYTHING AT ONCE’ is neither a chronological exhibition nor an encyclopaedic history of the gallery’s activities since 1967, rather it is an interconnected journey incorporating 45 works exploring experience, effect and event, invoking immediacy and immutability. Ranging from text to installation, painting, sculpture, performance and sound, the selection presents some of Lisson’s leading artists, of both the past and present...

1865; Oil on canvas, 30 x 60 cm (11 7/8 x 23 3/4 in); San Diego Museum of Art
This is an early work done a quarter-century before the famous Wheatstack series of 1890-91. In those later works, Monet succeeded in expressing the immutable essence of the Wheatstacks; here they are integrated into the overall landscape. The relative sizes of the Haystacks as well as the inclination of the low-lying clouds leads the eye forcefully toward the vanishing point of the rising sun. This leftward-leaning composition is accentuated by the exaggerated horizontality of the canvas. The muted colors and relatively finished brushwork, along with the pyramidal shapes of the haystacks, convey a sense of permanence that somewhat contradicts the depiction of something as transient as a sunrise. This is an important early reference point illustrating the artistic problems Monet worked to resolve as his style developed.

Frozen Records :
www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5G2scukRSM
Amazing sounds from ice records ! Here : the fridge.
Artist Claudia Märzendorfer DJ delicate records made of ice on specially prepared turntables for her act “VLUN/Much ado about nothing”. In stark contrast to the immutability of contemporary methods of sound storage – the digital world of mp3s, wavs and AIFFs – the artist has chosen a storage medium that disintegrates almost immediately.
After the first few grooves the sound begins to degrade as the stylus digs deeper through the deteriorating groovestructures. Each disc lasts an average of only ten minutes, and most can be played only once. The medium melts, the grooves disintegrate into puddles. Metaphors abound in the art of freezing sounds and melting records : the impermanence and fragility of art and life.

View of Mount Etna - 1842
Thomas Cole (1801 - 1848)
Cole wrote a poetic description of this painting after he returned from Italy in 1842: Etna "lifts its snowy head in the warm sunlight, while the base of the mountain is partly veiled in the vapoury atmosphere and the mists of the morning."
Ruins overgrown with vegetation litter the foreground of the image. They are dwarfed by the snow-capped volcanic peak in the distance, a comment on the impermanence of human endeavor and the immutability of nature. A shepherd plays a flute for his flock, referencing the Arcadian life celebrated in ancient Greek and Roman poetry. Asher Brown Durand depicted Cole holding a similar woodwind instrument in his painting Kindred Spirits. The allusion to music and poetry in both works demonstrates thematic continuities between painting and related art forms.

This World Class attraction was everything we expected and more. Construction has just begun on a major expansion, but that has been managed in such a way that it does not in any way detract from the experience now.
This album focuses on the artwork inside the buildings and on the other interior spaces including the Eleven Restaurant and the Gift Shop. A separate album posted a few days ago is devoted to the two April mornings that we spent exploring just some of the trails that crisscross the 120 acres of Arkansas forest around the museum.
Alice Walton and her co-creative team can be proud of the vision and execution of everything on this 120 acre site.

A Chamber for Horwitz,
Sonakinatography Transcriptions in Surround Sound, 2015
Wall work: Channa Horwitz
Sonakinatography Composition III, 1996
Haroon Mirza (born 1977, UK) has won international acclaim for installations that test the interplay and friction between sound and light waves and electric current. Transcribing a complex working drawing by LA-based artist Channa Horwitz (1932–2013), Mirza turns her notational sequences and matrices into a multi-coloured, sonic score. The electric noise of the currents that light the LEDs in one of the eight possible configurations and colour combinations, as marked by Horwitz, is simul-taneously translated via speakers to audible noise pulses in different octaves. Together, these acoustic, visual interpretations of the Horwitz data result in a choreographed, compositional concert, which is at once computer-programmed and man-made – both ‘live’ and historic.
A Chamber for Horwitz; Sonakinatography Transcriptions in Surround Sound is a conceptual development of an earlier piece by Mirza, titled Adam, Eve, Others and a UFO (2013).

In Spring 2018 the Slanted editors took a close-up look at the contemporary design scene of Dubai. A city—when described by many people—that is all sickening shine and has no soul. But Dubai and the whole region, originally a piece of desert sparsely populated by Bedouins, is now transforming itself rapidly into a center, if not the world’s greatest center, of trade, finance, and tourism—and moreover, something important happened in the last few years: Culture! Today, a new Arab world is being plotted and planned. The entire Gulf is teeming with initiatives—from the most public to the most private—to change and reinvent seemingly immutable rules, regimes, edicts, and assumptions, culminating, perhaps, in the stated intention to work more closely together. The Gulf states have a past, and they will have a future. The contours of that future are legible in this Slanted issue!
Slanted met some of the most amazing creatives such as Möbius Studio, Wissam Shawkat, and Fikra Design Studio. Not only can you find their brilliant works in the new issue, Slanted also provides a deeper look at their opinions and views through video interviews that can be watched online on our video platform for free: www.slanted.de/dubai.

I trust all of us are familiar with the word “Christ”. In the Bible, it has been recorded, “He said to them, But whom say you that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but My Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 16:15–17). Many people see these verses and say without thinking, “Christ is the incarnate Lord Jesus” or “Christ is the Messiah, the Son of God”, and others say, “Christ is the Son of man” “Christ means the anointed one.” But faced with these claims, some people are puzzled: The prophets, kings, and priests of the Old Testament, were all anointed, so are they also Christs? Just what is Christ?
To address that question, first let’s look at two passages of God’s word, “The incarnate God is called Christ, and Christ is the flesh donned by the Spirit of God. This flesh is unlike any man that is of the flesh. This difference is because Christ is not of flesh and blood but is the incarnation of the Spirit. He has both a normal humanity and a complete divinity. His divinity is not possessed by any man. His normal humanity sustains all His normal activities in the flesh, while His divinity carries out the work of God Himself.” “God become flesh is called Christ, and so the Christ that can give people the truth is called God. There is nothing excessive about this…. The real Christ is not merely the manifestation of God on earth, but also the particular flesh assumed by God as He carries out and completes His work among man. This flesh is not one that can be replaced by just any man, but one that can adequately bear God’s work on earth, and express the disposition of God, and well represent God, and provide man with life.” These two passages reveal aspects of the truth regarding the incarnate God. Christ is the flesh of God incarnate, that is, the realization of God’s Spirit in a fleshly body with normal humanity and normal thinking. He becomes an ordinary normal person to work and speak in the human world. From the outside, Christ is an ordinary and normal Son of man, but He is different from all created people in essence: Created human beings only have normal humanity, and there is no divine essence; Christ not only has normal humanity, but more importantly He has complete divinity, He has God’s essence, He can express the entire truth, He can express God’s disposition and all that God has and is, and can bestow the truth, the way, and the life upon people. Just as the Lord Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). Christ is the appearance of God on earth. Two thousand years ago, the Lord Jesus came to the earth to work, ended the Age of Law, began the Age of Grace, expressed the truths required for the work of redemption, taught people to confess their sins, repent, love others as they love themselves, and performed all kinds of miracles, such as healing the sick, casting out demons, making the blind see, making the lame walk, healing lepers, resurrecting the dead, feeding 5,000 people from five loaves of bread and two fishes, calming the wind and sea with a word, and so on. All of this work was a direct expression of His divinity, and also a manifestation of God’s authority and power. These are things that no human being can possess or achieve. It is because Christ expresses His divine work in a fleshly body with normal humanity, and can express the truth anytime and anyplace, supplying, watering, and shepherding man, guiding all of mankind that we can say He is Christ, the incarnate God Himself.
So, why can’t the prophets or those used by God be called Christ? There is indeed truth to seek here. Let’s read a few passages of God’s word, “Isaiah, Ezekiel, Moses, David, Abraham, and Daniel were leaders or prophets among the chosen people of Israel. Why were they not called God? Why did the Holy Spirit not bear testimony to them? Why did the Holy Spirit bear testimony to Jesus as soon as He began His work and started to speak His words? And why did the Holy Spirit not bear testimony to others? They, men who were of flesh, were all called ‘Lord.’ Regardless of what they were called, their work represents their being and substance, and their being and substance represent their identity. Their substance is not related to their appellations; it is represented by what they expressed, and what they lived out. In the Old Testament, there was nothing out of the ordinary in being called Lord, and a person might be called in any which way, but his substance and inherent identity were immutable.” “The words of God incarnate initiate a new age, guide the whole of mankind, reveal mysteries, and show man the direction ahead in a new age. The enlightenment obtained by man is but simple practice or knowledge. It cannot guide the whole of mankind into a new age or reveal the mystery of God Himself. God, after all, is God, and man is man. God has the substance of God, and man has the substance of man.” From these passages, we can easily see that the essence of the Lord Jesus Christ is God, that He can directly do God’s own work, express all that God has and is, and give people the truth, the way, and the life. No one else could do this in His place, or could do it at all. Those who are corrupted by Satan possess only humanity, cannot express the truth, and cannot do God’s work. Just as in the Age of Law in the Old Testament, many ancient prophets such as Moses, Daniel, and Isaiah all led people in obeying the commandments and God’s words on the basis of God’s work in the Age of Law, spreading prophecies among the Israelites as instructed by God, or conveying God’s words, such as reminders and admonitions, to the Israelites, and so on, which entirely falls under the duties of man. Without God’s instructions, their role of conveying God’s words would cease. This proves that the prophets themselves had no truth or way of life. They were merely people who were used by God and cooperated with the work of the Holy Spirit. Although they are called the anointed, they are not Christs. Therefore, God has the essence of God, man the essence of man. Determining whether someone is Christ requires looking at whether he has God’s essence, whether he can express the truth, and whether he can do the work of saving mankind, not at the name by which he is called. No matter what they are called, created beings are always humans, not Christ. Therefore, we can understand Christ as the incarnate flesh of God’s Spirit. The essence of Christ is the combination of normal humanity and complete divinity, and He is God Himself on earth.
With this fellowship, I believe we now have some understanding of what Christ is. To understand this aspect of the truth more clearly, we also need to seek and contemplate more, because this is very helpful for us receiving the Lord’s return. The Bible prophesies, “For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:27). “For as the lightning, that lightens out of the one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in His day. But first must He suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation” (Luke 17:24–25). These prophecies mention “the coming of the Son of man,” and we all know that the incarnate Lord Jesus is called the Son of man and Christ. So, the “the coming of the Son of man” mentioned by the Lord Jesus is very likely to refer to God returning incarnate in the last days. How we understand the incarnate God and how we understand Christ of the last days are directly related to the matter of whether we can gain God’s salvation, so we must carefully seek God’s work and words, as well as listen for the voice of God, if we are to receive the Lord’s appearance.

Blipfoto Post for Friday 23 December 2011: Desperately Seeking....
....Brussel Sprouts.
It's one of those immutable laws of physics. The one time of year that people actually like eating Brussel Sprouts and you can't get any (well almost anyway).
Sainsburys just had empty baskets which had been devastated by packs of rabid pre-christmas shoppers.
'Do you really not have any Brussels Sprouts at all?'
'No sorry, we sold out. But we are expecting another delivery at 12:00'
'Hmmmm...could turn ugly, hope you got some serious crowd control in place.'
Found some in Asda eventually, large piles of them actually.....briefly toyed with the idea of buying a few trolley loads and heading back into to town to try and turn a quick profit from other desperate shoppers....but no....decided to go home and have a Gin and Tinic instead.

Over 2,500 Gathered at the Ukrainian America Sport Center – Tryzub to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence
Sun., Aug. 28, Horsham, PA - The Ukrainian and American flags danced in the brilliant sunshine and mild breezes of another delightful summer afternoon at the Ukrainian American Sport Center-Tryzub. The intense, varied and complex thoughts, prayers and emotions of the gathering crowd were palpable.
Ukrainians, haling, directly or through ancestry, from nearly all regions of Ukraine, demonstrated solidarity with their homeland and her people through their spirited attendance, clothing and accessories: Beautiful embroideries and folk costumes (including also those of our Crimean Tatar Ukrainians), flags, tryzubs, Ukrainian sports and thematic jerseys and our beautiful language affirmed the presence of Ukraine’s immortal and immutable spirit in the festival glade, well before the concert had even started.
The Fourth Grand Flaneur Walk took on Sunday, May 5th, 2024, and commenced at midday by the statue of Beau Brummell on Jermyn Street, London W1. The Grand Flaneur Walk celebrates the pure, the immutable, and the pointless, and it is taken by the bold, the adventurous, and the inebriated. The walk went through Green Park towards Hyde Park Corner.

Met up with some friends, some of which I had only "met" online, to see two unusual orchid spikes, with this unusual interflorance.
Very striking plants, and well worth the scramble to and back from their well-hidden location.
-------------------------------------------
Pelorism is the term, said to be first used by Charles Darwin, for the formation of 'peloric flowers'[1] which botanically is the abnormal production of radially symmetrical (actinomorphic) flowers in a species that usually produces bilaterally symmetrical (zygomorphic) flowers.[2] These flowers are spontaneous floral symmetry mutants. The term epanody is also applied to this phenomenon.[3] Bilaterally symmetrical (zygomorphic) flowers are known to have evolved several times from radially symmetrical (actinomorphic) flowers, these changes being linked to increasing specialisation in pollinators.
elorism has been of interest since a five-spurred variety of the common toad-flax (Linaria vulgaris L.) was first discovered in 1742 by a young Uppsala botanist on an island in the Stockholm archipelago and then in 1744 described by Carl Linnaeus. The mutant, spreading vegetatively, had five spurs rather than the usual one; however, the rest of the plant was normal. Linnaeus found that this variety was contrary to his concept that genera and species had universally arisen through an act of "original creation and remained unchanged since then". Linnaeus called this type of mutant a 'Peloria', the Greek for 'monster' or 'prodigy', because of the huge implications for the then current belief that species were immutable. He wrote that "This is certainly no less remarkable than if a cow were to give birth to a calf with a wolf's head." The peloric plant fascinated Linnaeus to the extent that he grew it at his summer residence in Hammarby and his explanation for it was that a toad-flax had been pollinated by another species.[5] Charles Darwin, Charles Victor Naudin, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Hugo de Vries amongst others analysed and wrote about.
Peloria derives from both new Latin and from the Greek word pelōros, meaning 'monstrous'
"You and me
Meant to be
Immutable
Impossible
It's destiny
Pure lunacy
Incalculable
Insufferable
But for the last time
You're everything that I want and ask for
You're all that I'd dreamed
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
Protected and the lover of
A pure soul and beautiful you
Don't understand
Don't feel me now
I will breathe
For the both of us
Travel the world
Traverse the skies
Your home is here
Within my heart
And for the first time
I feel as though I am reborn
In my mind
Recast as child and mystic sage
Who wouldn't be the one you love
Who wouldn't stand inside your love
And for the first time
I'm telling you how much I need and bleed for
Your every move and waking sound
In my time
I'll wrap my wire around your heart and your mind
You're mine forever now
Who wouldn't be the one you love and live for
Who wouldn't stand inside your love and die for
Who wouldn't be the one you love"

A new Northwestern University study challenges winning understandings of genes as immutable features of biology that are fixed at origination.
May 17-30, 2018
Opening Reception: Thursday May 17 from 6-8:00 pm
The clock’s influence is inseparable from contemporary life – not only does it synchronize individual circadian rhythms but it also produces the stable temporal foundation for both scientific tradition and capitalism to flourish. However, there is a significant gap between what is measured by clocks and what is perceived by the individual. The perceived acceleration of time in contemporary life leaves us with a feeling of being continually deprived of this precious resource. While many technologies promise to help us get-time-back, they only entangle us further in their construction. Scientific time, duration measured by clocks, is regarded as immutable, indefatigable, and infallible – the opposite of the humans it ostensibly serves. Slower Than Time Itself uses the syncopated rhythms and unquantifiable output of mechanical clocks to suggest a slowing and plurality to the current monoculture of time, more sympathetic to the human condition and timescapes outside of human perception. Trueman’s sculptural and video works explore the idea of slowness as a gateway to multiplicity and ponders whether it is possible to use a clock to escape time itself.
Artist Biography
After studying mechanical engineering at Fanshawe, Trueman completed his undergraduate degree in fine arts at Western University where he is currently a Master of Fine Art candidate. He will be completing a clock installation at I-Park Residency (East Haddam, Connecticut) this summer, and will be exhibiting at PLUS Art Fair 2018 (Toronto). His first publication So Long South Street, a photographic series showing the demolition of famed South Street Hospital, was launched earlier in 2018. His work has been shown at Museum London, McMaster Museum of Art (Hamilton), Thames Art Gallery (Chatham), and DNA Art Space (London).

Law #22b: If you're a boy, after hello, instantly remembering you can spell 5318008 (boobies) upside down and backwards on a calculator is something you realize you haven't forgotten after 25+ years. Hmpf... Go figure. ;-P

A Chamber for Horwitz,
Sonakinatography Transcriptions in Surround Sound, 2015
Wall work: Channa Horwitz
Sonakinatography Composition III, 1996
Haroon Mirza (born 1977, UK) has won international acclaim for installations that test the interplay and friction between sound and light waves and electric current. Transcribing a complex working drawing by LA-based artist Channa Horwitz (1932–2013), Mirza turns her notational sequences and matrices into a multi-coloured, sonic score. The electric noise of the currents that light the LEDs in one of the eight possible configurations and colour combinations, as marked by Horwitz, is simul-taneously translated via speakers to audible noise pulses in different octaves. Together, these acoustic, visual interpretations of the Horwitz data result in a choreographed, compositional concert, which is at once computer-programmed and man-made – both ‘live’ and historic.
A Chamber for Horwitz; Sonakinatography Transcriptions in Surround Sound is a conceptual development of an earlier piece by Mirza, titled Adam, Eve, Others and a UFO (2013).

Part of Everything at Once
Presented by Lisson Gallery and The Vinyl Factory at the Store Studios, 180 The Strand
October-December 2017
Lisson Gallery opened on Bell Street in 1967, a year after John Cage’s pronouncement on the changing conditions of contemporary existence. In celebration of this anniversary, the gallery is partnering with The Vinyl Factory to stage ‘EVERYTHING AT ONCE’, an ambitious group exhibition inspired by these words, which could very well apply to our current anxiety-ridden age of ceaseless communication. Through new and historical works by 24 of the artists currently shown by Lisson Gallery (out of more than 150 to have had solo shows over the past 50 years), this extensive presentation aims to collapse half a century of artistic endeavour under one roof, while telescoping its original aims into an unknowable future.
As Cage predicted, we increasingly live in an all-at-once age, in which time and space are no longer rational or linear concepts and great distances can be traversed with an instantaneous click. More than ever before, contemporary art, like life, assaults us simultaneously from all angles and from anywhere on the globe, existing also as multisensory visions of an accelerated world.
In response, ‘EVERYTHING AT ONCE’ is neither a chronological exhibition nor an encyclopaedic history of the gallery’s activities since 1967, rather it is an interconnected journey incorporating 45 works exploring experience, effect and event, invoking immediacy and immutability. Ranging from text to installation, painting, sculpture, performance and sound, the selection presents some of Lisson’s leading artists, of both the past and present...

Lost Keys to Heaven: The Sentinel's Watch
Description:
Dive into the ethereal realm of "The Sentinel," a haunting musical exploration set to a backdrop of surreal imagery. This video encapsulates the journey of a stoic guardian facing the paradox of heaven's locked gates. Watch as the sentinel, entangled in a celestial tapestry, reflects on the profound sense of loss and duty, all while standing watch over what once was. Join us in this metaphysical narrative that weaves the essence of eternity, guardianship, and the immutable passage of time.
Poem:
The Sentinel
By the time I got to heaven,
All the rules had changed,
The gates were locked,
And Peter had lost the keys.
When the reign had begun,
All sensibility was lost,
I was captured by this body,
Without the need to touch.
But I stand in dignity,
A silent sentinel,
A guardian of a bygone era,
With loss etched into my eyes.
The gates were locked,
And Peter had lost the keys.

MASKARADAK: PROBABLY THE OLDEST CARNIVAL IN EUROPE
The maskarada [mas̺ˈkaɾada] is a popular set of traditional, theatrical performances that take place annually during the time of carnival in the Basque region of Soule, Basque Country (Zuberoa in the Basque language). It is generally referred to in the plural (maskaradak) as it is repeated across the region on the streets of villages (one day per village) over the span of a month or two in late winter through spring. The plays are performed by the villages' (usually younger) inhabitants, and the arrangements for each maskarada are the responsibility of each participating village. Sometimes, when two villages are very small, they will share the duties together.
Though naturally the actors change from year to year, a friendly air of informality, formed of deep familiarity pervades throughout. The Maskaradak follow variations on very traditional themes that make use of time-honoured sets and age-old, immutable characters. A motley parade of musicians (atabal, ttun-ttun and xirula players), traditional dancers and assorted actors, villagers and visitors walk merrily along a route that meanders up and down the village's streets.
At particular points of the parade, the barrikadak take place, where the marchers stop in front of a stall put there by the villagers, and bestow on them a dance, sometimes even a song, this in exchange for snacks (biscuits, crisps, and the like), and refreshments (wine and liquor), which is then shared with bystanders. The process is repeated over and over, perhaps lasting all day, from early in the morning till afternoon (with a popular lunch somewhere in the middle), until the end of the final performance at the parade terminus - usually the village market place or Basque pelota court.
Maskaradas represent a genuine example of traditional popular carnival theatre struggling to survive, much in step with the modest revival of the Basque language. It's connected to pastoral in many aspects, such as recurrent fixed characters, a marked distinction in the group (e.g. the reds stand for the good, while the blacks represent the evil) or a rigid structuring and development. The language used by the actors remains bilingual Zuberoan Basque, for the most part, and Bearnais, despite some difficulties to hand either language over to new generations.
"There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out- carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain .... Or so says the legend.
[...]
The bird with the thorn in its breast, it follows an immutable law; it is driven by it knows not what to impale itself, and die singing. At the very instant the thorn enters there is no awareness in it of the dying to come; it simply sings and sings until there is not the life left to utter another note. But we, when we put the thorns in our breasts, we know. We understand. And still we do it. Still we do it."

“Có một truyền thuyết về con chim chỉ hót một lần trong đời, nhưng nó hót hay nhất thế gian, có lần nó rời tổ bay đi tìm bụi mận gai và tìm cho bằng được mới thôi. Giữa đám cảnh gai góc, nó cất tiếng hát bài ca của mình và lao ngực vào chiếc gai dài nhất, nhọn nhất. Vượt lên trên nỗi đau khổ khôn tả, nó vừa hót vừa lịm dần đi, và tiếng ca hân hoan ấy đáng cho cả sơn ca và họa mi phải ghẹn tị. Bài ca duy nhất có một không hai, bài ca phải đổi bằng tính mạng mới có được. Nhưng cả thế gian lặng đi khi lắng nghe, và chính thượng đế trên Thiên Đình cũng mỉm cười. Bởi vì tất cả những gì tốt đẹp nhất chỉ có thể có được khi ta chịu trả giá bằng nỗi đau khổ vĩ đại nhất… Ít ra là truyền thuyết nói như vậy."
[...]
"Con chim mang chiếc gai của bụi mận cắm vào ngực tuân theo qui luật bất di bất dịch của thiên nhiên; bản thân nó không biết sức mạnh nào đã buộc nó lao vào mũi nhọn và chết mà vẫn hót. Lúc mũi gai xuyên qua tim nó, nó không nghĩ đến cái chết sắp đến, nó chỉ hót, hót cho đến lúc mất tiếng đứt hơi. Nhưng chúng ta, khi lao ngực vào bụi mận gai, chúng ta biết, chúng ta hiểu. Tuy thế ta vẫn cứ lao vào. Sẽ mãi mãi như thế!".

My maternal grandmother, Mary Ellen Mylon Corey, lived in San Francisco at the time with her parents, Thomas J. Mylon and Rose Ann Conlon Mylon, and her siblings. They lost everything but escaped with their lives.
One year later, this was published in the Coast Seamen’s Journal:
San Francisco’s First Birthday
The city that is now San Francisco is one year old to-day. There was a city of San Francisco a year and a day ago; an old city, as time runs in this new land; the embodiment of fifty years of stirring Western life; a fair city, a rich city, a gay city; set at the gate where the Farthest West meets the Farthest East, and sharing many of the characteristics of both; a loved city, whose generous faults are remembered with no less affection than its virtues. That city is gone, never to return. Its place is in history, and in the memories and affections of m en. One year ago the world woke up to learn that that city had been destroyed. To-day, the people of a new city already founded on its ruins, meet to celebrate their first anniversary.
It is characteristic of the new San Francisco that all its outlook, on this its natal day, is forward. There is little reminiscence and no vain regret of the past. Sinn Francisco points not to what was, but to what is.
In one year’s time, a miracle has been wrought. Discipline was restored in a day; orderly government was established in a week; relief was organized almost before there was hunger to assuage; reorganization was planned before the destruction was complete, and begun before the ashes had cooled; courage was never lost and the cheerfulness that had characterized the old San Francisco never abated. The shock that unroofed the homes also uncovered the hearts of the city, and brotherly love ruled in the lives of men. Only one brief, illuminating moment; but long enough to give us a sure courage, against all the discouragements and disillusionments that followed.
Energy and courage have restored San Francisco; the very immutable fates will preserve it. No disaster can destroy of minimize the importance of the gateway between the East and the West. San Francisco sites at the door of the Pacific, at the beginning of the Pacific age. The world looked inward on the Mediterranean once; then outward on the Atlantic; then inward on the Atlantic from both sides; and now looks outward on the pacific. The joining of the East and West has come, and the outstretched arms of both, reach through the Golden Gate. The warder of that gate sits at the strategic point of the immediate future. You can not set a city at the focus of all the streams of the world’s activity, and keep it small or unimportant. The greatness of San Francisco is as certain, under the conditions of the twentieth century, as was that of Constantinople under the Byzantine Empire. – Fresno Republican

These 30 feet (9.1 m) high bronze figures, dubbed "Winged Figures of the Republic", were each formed in a continuous pour. To put such large bronzes into position without marring the highly polished bronze surface, they were placed on ice and guided into position as the ice melted.
Much of the sculpture at the dam is the work of Norwegian-born, naturalized American Oskar J.W. Hansen. Mr. Hansen fielded many questions about his work while it was being installed at the dam. In response to those questions, he later wrote about his interpretation of his sculptures.
Hansen's principal work at Hoover Dam is the monument of dedication on the Nevada side of the dam. Here, rising from a black, polished base, is a 142-foot flagpole flanked by two winged figures, which Hansen calls the Winged Figures of the Republic. They express "the immutable calm of intellectual resolution, and the enormous power of trained physical strength, equally enthroned in placid triumph of scientific accomplishment."
Hoover Dam, said Hansen, represented for him the building genius of America, "a monument to collective genius exerting itself in community efforts around a common need or ideal." He compared the dam to such works as the great pyramids of Egypt, and said that, when viewing these man-made structures, the viewer often asks of their builders, "What manner of men were these?"

The clock’s influence is inseparable from contemporary life – not only does it synchronize individual circadian rhythms but it also produces the stable temporal foundation for both scientific tradition and capitalism to flourish. However, there is a significant gap between what is measured by clocks and what is perceived by the individual. The perceived acceleration of time in contemporary life leaves us with a feeling of being continually deprived of this precious resource. While many technologies promise to help us get-time-back, they only entangle us further in their construction. Scientific time, duration measured by clocks, is regarded as immutable, indefatigable, and infallible – the opposite of the humans it ostensibly serves. Slower Than Time Itself uses the syncopated rhythms and unquantifiable output of mechanical clocks to suggest a slowing and plurality to the current monoculture of time, more sympathetic to the human condition and timescapes outside of human perception. Trueman’s sculptural and video works explore the idea of slowness as a gateway to multiplicity and ponders whether it is possible to use a clock to escape time itself.
Artist Biography
After studying mechanical engineering at Fanshawe, Trueman completed his undergraduate degree in fine arts at Western University where he is currently a Master of Fine Art candidate. He will be completing a clock installation at I-Park Residency (East Haddam, Connecticut) this summer, and will be exhibiting at PLUS Art Fair 2018 (Toronto). His first publication So Long South Street, a photographic series showing the demolition of famed South Street Hospital, was launched earlier in 2018. His work has been shown at Museum London, McMaster Museum of Art (Hamilton), Thames Art Gallery (Chatham), and DNA Art Space (London).

Wall work: Channa Horwitz
Sonakinatography Composition III, 1996
Haroon Mirza (born 1977, UK) has won international acclaim for installations that test the interplay and friction between sound and light waves and electric current. Transcribing a complex working drawing by LA-based artist Channa Horwitz (1932–2013), Mirza turns her notational sequences and matrices into a multi-coloured, sonic score. The electric noise of the currents that light the LEDs in one of the eight possible configurations and colour combinations, as marked by Horwitz, is simul-taneously translated via speakers to audible noise pulses in different octaves. Together, these acoustic, visual interpretations of the Horwitz data result in a choreographed, compositional concert, which is at once computer-programmed and man-made – both ‘live’ and historic.
A Chamber for Horwitz; Sonakinatography Transcriptions in Surround Sound is a conceptual development of an earlier piece by Mirza, titled Adam, Eve, Others and a UFO (2013).

Alone again thinking of you
Memories flow when love was new
Sunrises and sunsets defined our fun
Picnics, walks, feeding ducks in the sun
Conversation absent as eyes remain transfixed
Lovers forever, before than immutable statistic
Tell me your thoughts, I won’t get too near
Protect boundaries one holds so dear
Trust was elusive when first we met
More comfortable now when eyes are wet
Lay your head on my shoulder one last time
Remember when you were mine
From the poem "Faded Love" by A Keith Barton
Visitors to Hoover Dam can view a number of heroic size artworks including a 30-foot tall bronze sculpture by Oskar Hansen which symbolizes "the immutable calm of intellectual resolution, and the enormous power of trained physical strength, equally enthroned in placid triumph of scientific achievement". The depiction of male angels is unusual (they are referred to as 'winged figures'.
