[NetBehaviour] Talk at Haverford, ecological disasters

2019-04-18 Thread Alan Sondheim




Finally, successful talk at Haverford, ecological disasters

The talk I gave at Haverford was successful; I'd been working on
it for months. We covered the anthracite region and the
Johnstown flood of 1889. We covered the Susquehanna floods, the
Knox coalmine disaster which suddenly ended anthracite mining in
the region. We covered the Laurel Run fire and the biomes
present there. We covered the Year 2000 report ordered by Carter
and trashed by Reagan. Azure took some images which oddly enough
made me look animated. See below. There is also an image of the
graves of anonymous victims of the Johnstown flood, as well, as
an image of a National Park Service placard indicating the rush
of waters in relation to where we were standing then.

I've also updated the materials I used for the talk; if you're
interested you can download either
http://www.alansondheim.org/flood.pdf or
http://www.alansondheim.org/flood.rtf

I'm glad to be done with the project; gathering the materials
was both depressing and necessary. It gave me a chance to better
understand the environment I grew up in, the moving of the
earth, the strikes, John L. Lewis, and how the Jewish community
fit into the area, or didn't.

Thanks to Haverford College and Lis Evans, who brought Azure and
me to the class.

...part of a series of an original that never 
existed...


[The following file is, as you will see, from a printed 
Proposal sent in 1984 to dozens of art galleries primarily 
in North America. It is of some interest as it espouses and 
enacts a method for the creation of a great life-enhancing 
narrative, full of situationist-drift and revision. There 
was marginal financial, political and critical support for 
this project at the time. The various series of art-objects 
are occasionally altered but they usually remain sequestered 
in beautiful cork-lined, shellacked, plywood boxes... 
Archetypal Exhibition: As Single Entity. Nomadic 
Distributions. Consecrated Anarchy. Far from being a new 
foundation, it swallows up all foundations, it assures a 
universal collapse but as a positive and joyous event. The 
power of Affirming Chaos, Divergence, and Decentring. 
Heterogeneous series (`complicating' within itself all 
series). Continually eccentric circle with a constantly 
decentred centre.


The nonhierarchical work is a condensation of coexistences, 
a simultaneity of events. Identity persists, but it is 
produced as the law that complicates all series, causing 
them to return within each one as the course of compulsion.


The Work has sought to be a product of the manners and 
places in which it is seen.


The speculator is playing a mathematical game into a set of 
random events.


An Insatiable project, endlessly producing and consuming 
`systems', metaphorhaunted classifications of an ultimately 
opaque reality.


The set of objects the gallery displays is sustained only by 
the fiction that they somehow constitute a coherent 
representational universe...

My experience was that they were very good at communicating in the run
up to the event and that they ran things very smoothly. When the artwork
of mine that they were showing had technical trouble they fixed it
quickly. And the bit of the event that I saw had a wonderful variety of
speakers and perspectives with a very engaged audience.

2019-04-18 Thread Alan Sondheim




I want to write something here, I even dreamed it, but I'm about to give a 
talk on disasters in Pennsylvania.


That said, I only want to add that I find Assange bad, worse than Trump; I 
feel strongly that if it weren't for him, T. wouldn't have been elected. 
All information does not "want" to be free; I have things in my past I 
don't want revealed; people who are vulnerable to bullying want to keep 
that to themselves; I believe hospital records should be kept private and 
so forth. I woke up thinking - but this won't happen; the through is we 
are all neoliberals, neoliberal nodes, and we don't want to confront that. 
We are all blockchain; we are all Purdue; and so forth. But Assange 
deliberately timed the release of the HRC's emails so she wouldn't have 
time to respond - a T. tactic as well - and her campaign, admittedly 
flawed, collapsed; I remember her talking about that at the time. Comey 
put the nail in the coffee, again finding nothing, but holding up her 
campaign. And now we're seeing the results - Cold War brutality, rise in 
racism everywhere (yes, I'm personally scared being a Jewboy), refugees 
dying and treated like animals (which shouldn't be treated that way), etc. 
So for me, fuck Assange, I don't care where he's tried (as long as it's 
not the USA, one war criminal trying another), as long as he's tried. I'm 
ashamed of all of this, best, Alan

Of course Assange is being punished for revealing the sheer nastiness of our 
rulers ( the  excuses  from Lenín Moreno for expelling him are simply 
risible)... but we can’t ignore the accusations against him. I refused to sign 
a petition the other day that simply said no extradition . I will sign one that 
says no extradition to the US or no onward extradition from Sweden but which 
also calls for him to answer any rape/ sexual violence charges because that 
currently seems to me the only possible basis currently on which we both oppose

Hi Antye,

Completely agree - I think it's fair to say that the activist community is 
split on this.

I personally think he should be sent to be trialed in regard to accusations of 
rape first. The investigation was dropped by the Swedish police in May 2017.

And, yes - unforgivable if he had anything to do in helping Trump get elected 
and Brexit. It does not bode well that Farage met him at the Ecuadorian embassy.

I'm more concerned for Chelsea Manning -- Assange said that Barack Obama only 
granted Clemency to Chelsea Manning, in order to make life hard for Assange.

Wishing you well.
