Re: new work


For a cry of rage, Patrick, it's extraordinarily,
viscerally beautiful.
( and this is true of the sound too, the intensity of
which complements the visuals wonderfully)
There's a real intentionality problem for me with
yours and Kate's work - I just find it gobsmackingly
gorgeous.

deeply shameless self promotion

The details are:

If you want I can send a flyer - mail me.

If anyone *did* happen to go -I would love a report
back!

Re: "Torture as pornography" by Joanna Bourke


I have no problem at all with Americans.
My problem is with the American and British states.
Your cynicism depresses me, Rob - the indignation is
not because the war is "not sufficiently sanitised"
but because in our millions we opposed it before it
began and because the kind of brutality we've seen was
all too predictable -look at the history of
imperialism, whether it be US, UK or Russian.
I don't think its that surprising that a war machine
whose rhetoric is "liberation" by cluster bombing
should have systemic torture at its core.
And is what we've seen over the past few days
offensive or not? -it sickens me to my stomach.
