David Jones, artist and poet (1895-1974) begins his PREFACE TO THE ANATHEMATA :

'I have made a heap of all that I could find.' (1) So wrote Nennius, or whoever composed the introductory matter to Historia Brittonum. He speaks of an 'inward wound' which was caused by the fear that certain things dear to him 'should be like smoke dissipated'. Further, he says, 'not trusting my own learning, which is none at all, but partly from writings and monuments of the ancient inhabitants of Britain, partly from the annals of the Romans and the chronicles of the sacred fathers, Isidore, Hieronymous, Prosper, Eusebius and from the histories of the Scots and Saxons although our enemies . . . I have lispingly put together this . . . about past transactions, that [this material] might not be trodden under foot'. (2)

(1) The actual words are coacervavi omne quod inveni, and occur in Prologue 2 to the Historia.
(2) Quoted from the translation of Prologue 1. See The Works of Gildas and Nennius, J.A.Giles, London 1841.

A Praise to Double Disillusion


Today, the Australian Prime Minister of Babel, Malcolm Turnbull will go to the Governor General to request a double dissolution.

The Given : LOGOS,The Word as SPOKEN into being 

The Intended Given : The Word as SPOKEN into being, but...

The Received : The Word as HEARD into being, but...

The Translator (sic) : traduttore tradittor  ...is a traitor

The Unintended Received : LOGOS/HA HA aka Miss Herd
     

Translated from the Inglish by Charles Baudelaire  

This week, we've been enjoying the new Brian Eno album The Ship. It ends with a sweet version of 
The Velvet Underground's "I'm Set Free". A double disillusion just might help towards that...

[Verse 1]
I've been set free and I've been bound
To the memories of yesterday's clouds
I've been set free and I've been bound
And now

 [Chorus]
I'm set free
I'm set free
I'm set free to find a new illusion

 [Verse 2]
I've been blinded but
Now I can see
What in the world has happened to me
The prince of stories who walk right by me
And now

 [Chorus]

 [Verse 3]
I've been set free and I've been bound
Let me tell you people
What I found
I saw my head laughing
Rolling on the ground
And now

 [Chorus]
I'm set free
I'm set free
I'm set free to find a new illusion

Brutalist Block Party




     
Brutalist Block Party is a May-long program of talks, workshops, lunches, dinners, social situations and a weekly produce market – presented by Assemble Papers and Open House Melbourne in a vast concrete-fronted warehouse in Clifton Hill. It’s a celebration of the under-celebrated – an homage to the site’s Brutalist heritage and to post-war architecture everywhere; a convivial nod to the spirit of community at the heart of this architectural approach.
       

The program unfurls amidst Brutalist Bollards and Pillars of Contention – a specially commissioned spatial installation by Practise Studio Practise. The Brutalist Bar ensures that the brutalist banter continues before, during and after each event.

Brutalist Block Party is part of a broader Open House Melbourne program called ’What’s the beef with Brutalism?’ – a series of screenings, talks and tours that consider people’s beef with a Béton brut, explore the social significance of the style, and consider what is the new, new brutalism?
