a nice little talk on where the internet is
'wired people should know something about wires.'

A nice quote that I believe carries some resonance from screenwriter Andy Kaufman
"There was this movie Serpico. Al Pacino is a cop and he has an artist
girlfriend, and there's a party scene with all these different artist
types. They're saying 'I'm a painter but I work in a restaurant,' 'I'm
an actor but I work in an office,', and this goes on for a while. Then
Al Pacino says 'I'm a cop and I work for the police department,'. But
there's that feeling when you want say you're something, and you have
nothing to back it up because everyone says they're a writer, or
everybody says they're this or that -- this is what I felt -- and
everyone else thinks it's bullshit. It's funny now that I don't want to
call myself that but at the time I did and I think that it was necessary
at the time, but now it doesn't feel necessary because I think the
thing I realise is I'm not those things."

The Glad Cafe
Spotted this in the latest issue of The Wire today about a new Glasgow cafe/arts venue called The Glad Cafe:
Glasgow is getting its own version of Cafe Oto. On 17 August a new venue opens in the Southside of Glasgow for new and experimental music and art, with plans for installations and film screenings. Venue manager Joe Smillie says: "Three years ago my sister Sarah was staying in Dalston and took my mother to Cafe Oto, knowing it was the kind of place my mum would go nuts about. She did, and on arriving back in Glasgow decided that this was something the Southside was missing. She wouldn't stop talking about it and eventually roped my wife, Karina and myself in."
Don't suppose anyone else Glasgow way knows about it yet or has even visited inside? Worth considering either for potential shows or just another place to hang out. Also, this gig on October 8th looks rather tempting...

Had to post this up. A small article that lists many companies and websites of opportunities. I've already saved a fair few sites and "liked" more on Facebook. Well worth a look

The Shock of the New
The Shock of the New is a television series that aired on the BBC in 1980, written and presented by the Australian art critic Robert Hughes, detailing the developments of Modernism in art since Impressionism and in context with the socio-political environments of the time, along with the influence/ramifications of mechanisation on Western society through industrialisation. It was also accompanied by a book of the same title and is seen as an important review of the development of art in that period of time.
The BBC is currently re-showing this series as I type (I imagine due to the recent death of Robert Hughes) and annoyingly they have each episode down for a brief moment of time on IPlayer. Episode 1 has come and gone already while Episode 2 which "examines the relationship between art and authority by looking at Dadaism and the art of political movements such as fascism and Soviet communism" is viewable till the 10th of September (2 days left!).
I think it's most worthy of a watch so get there before its to late!... Unless someone -
Enjoy!

"Mutual Invagination"
Thought I'd share a rather saucy piece of text on adapatation from Jacques Derrida:
"Any text that has slept with another text has also slept with all the other texts that that other text has slept with. Adaptations redistribute energies and intensities in an amarous exchange of textual fluids."

Structural Film
Another selfish post that only I will probably appreciate? Haha. Anyway, the below scan was recently shared on Light Industry's Tumblr page so I'm sharing it here too to multi the media; has some nice articles on/from Hollis Frampton, Michael Snow, Paul Sharits, Ken Jacobs, Andy Warhol and other structural film heavyweights of the mid 60s to early 70s. Super smashing great.
Whilst you're at it, download the Structural Film Anthology if you've not done so too - the highly opinionated Peter Gidal who edited that also fights with words in the opening letters section of this issue of Artforum. Boy, those were some angry times in film criticism. See also Gidal's listing of this issue of Artforum for sale at Abebooks for added context - yes, for £150 you too can own a little sample of historical avant-garde film beef!
