A benefit for S. Clay Wilson :
medical expenses are beyond his ability to pay and have made him and his family paupers. I’d like your help to raise money for S. Clay Wilson’s medical expenses. S. Clay Wilson is a major figure in American comics, a founder of the underground comix movement." David Chelsea

Farewell to Harvey Pekar and Herman Leonard:
Herman Leonard, icon photographer of Jazz scenes, has died at the age of 87 on August 14th in Los Angeles. He was famous for his "smoky," backlighted B and W photos of Jazz greats like Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and Charlie Parker. Over 60,000 of his negatives are stored at the Ogdon Museun. He returned to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and was featured in the 2005 BBC Sundance Documentary “Saving Jazz," and was featured in the 2006 BBC documetnary "Saving Jazz."

"Pekar-Crumb, une épopée des petites vies"
Harvey Pekar, scénarist of «American Splendor», passed away on July 12th 2010.
See in Mediapart the article "Pekar-Crumb, une épopée des petites vies" by Vincent Truffy at http://www.mediapart.fr/journal/culture-idees/270810/pekar-crumb-une-epopee-des-petites-vies

The book "Harv & Bob", scenario by Harvey Pekar, drawings by Robert Crumb, has just been published at the editions Cornelius.
 
Literature
The Time of the Naguals on line:
I have received from the Bibliothèque nationale de France the number of dépôt légal for "Le Temps ds Naguals - Autour de Burroughs et Gysin", so all the formalities of publishing are done for this book. I have put the pdf on line last month at http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TNFR.pdf
The tome "Around Burroughs and Gysin" on line at www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TNAroundB&G.pdf has been updated: Paul O'Donovan's illustrations have been added.
The tome of Reseach at www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TN2research.pdf will be updated as well as more on the dreamachine will be added.
For the rest of the anthology, I suggest that we use another technic: rather working on one tome at a time, due to the number of the tomes to end, I suggest that I put them on line as they are at the moment, (they are already in pdf) so people who wrote in them can send the modifications to make, otherwise it will take some decades for the whole anthology to be ready, and we have been at it since 12 or 13 years now.
Any suggestion welcome.
Alain and Jean presented their new book, "Papy Beat Generation" , Editions Hors Sujet, in Rochefort sur Loire.
A beatiful day, and a very nice meeting.

"The Poetry Bomb is a former U.S. military practice bomb. The artifact will be completely converted into a beautiful object filled with poetry from around the world. When finished, it will have a primo paint job just as if it were a classic car, complete with pin-striping. It will also have a window or portal that will open and close making it possible to not only see inside of the piece, but to take poems out at performances to read out loud, and to add future submissions. Once converted, I will take The Poetry Bomb on tour across the United States, and then, who knows? Plan on beginning the tour in late April of 2010." S.A. Griffin

Benoit Delaune: articles autour de William Burroughs
Benoit Delaune has written a thesis of comparative literatures on Burroughs, particularly down the cut-up and "nova trilogy". In July 2009 he took part in the colloquium in Paris for the 50 yeats of Naked Lunch, as a lecturer as well as a musician, with the group he is a member of, " Nouvelles Impressions d'Afrique".
Some of the articles he wrote around Burroughs are available on line :

THE NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY 2010
http://www.nationaltabboulehday.com/
Since 2001, a yearly national day, celebrated the first Saturday of the month of July (this year the 3rd of July, 2010), is dedicated to TABBOULEH.
During this day, Lebanese and their friends everywhere in the world meet in private or in public around this king of the mezzé. This artistic, cultural, gastronomic and touristy feast presents them an opportunity to show and to reinforce their attachment to their country. In 2007, the Lebanese Ministry of Tourism granted its approval and its patronage officially for the NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY.
Many events will take place all over the world! wherever there are Lebanese and friends. In downtown Beirut, for example, a big public gathering is organized at Souk el Tayeb in Saifi Village, where savoring and competitions of the best TABBOULEH will take place (www.soukeltayeb.com).
Let's celebrate all together the next NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY that will take place on Saturday July 3, 2010. How? Here are some suggested ways:
In July 3, 2010
- Think about Tabbouleh
- Or do Tabbouleh alone or with friends
- Or do a public Tabbouleh event on your way
While doing so, know that you’re sharing these moments with all the others.
I all cases please take photos and share them on facebook for example. You can also send them to contact@nationaltabboulehday.com so we can publish them on the Website www.nationaltabboulehday.com and/or facebook…
Happy Tabbouleh Day!!!!!

forward the good news!

Richard Krech: "Playing the Game" from S.A. Griffin’s “POETRY BOMB” 2010

The Great Game

they called it
in the last years of the 19th Century.


The “Fin de Siecle” time
when the sun never set
on the British Empire,
the fierce Waziristan of Rudyard Kipling
at the center of the “Game”
the center
of the struggle between
Russia and Great Britain.

Lord Durand drew a line
along a map delineating
British India from Afghanistan.

Drew a line thru tribal areas
controlled by the tribes and jirgas
since Alexander.

Drew a line oblivious to the blood
and flag and language ties
on either side
of his scribbles on a map
in London
half a world away.

Mortimer Durand’s arbitrary line
created the no-man’s land
between the tectonic plates
of Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent
where al Qaeda - the base - still thrives.

Irredentist warriors
from the 10th Century
nurtured by the arrogance
of game players
sipping tea in the parlor
in honor of the Queen

The Poetry Bomb - Project by S.A. Griffin

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1768073198/the-poetry-bomb

The Poetry Bomb is a former U.S. military practice bomb. The artifact will be completely converted into a beautiful object filled with poetry from around the world. When finished, it will have a primo paint job just as if it were a classic car, complete with pin-striping. It will also have a window or portal that will open and close making it possible to not only see inside of the piece, but to take poems out at performances to read out loud, and to add future submissions. Once converted, I will take The Poetry Bomb on tour across the United States, and then, who knows? Plan on beginning the tour in late April of 2010.


I am soliciting funds not only to create The Poetry Bomb, but also, to then take The Poetry Bomb on tour.

Everyone who contributes anything at all will be listed as a participant in the project as a part of The Bomb Squad on Facebook and in any subsequent documentation.

You can follow the progress of the project, help spread the word and get more specifics about submissions (everyone is welcome, everyone!) at the Facebook fan page, "The Poetry Bomb". Please, SUBMIT TO THE BOMB!

(*The short presentation film, "THE POETRY BOMB" is by Christopher Lockett, that's his music in the background too. Thanks Chris!)

Project location: Los Angeles, CA

SIGN OF THE TIMES by AD Winans

SIGN OF THE TIMES

By AD Winans

Market Street once
The queen of the city
Now a gaudy whore
Worn with time

I pass the Hamburger Palace
The home of the ninety-nine cent burger
Its doors closed down
Its windows streaked with grime

Inside streaks of mustard and ketchup
On the counter
A crushed soft drink cup
Lies in dirt
A paper napkin floating ghost like
In the wind

THEY TOO MAY EMBRACE THE RATTLESNAKE by Charles Plymell

THEY TOO MAY EMBRACE THE RATTLESNAKE
By Charles  Plymell

"The Time of Nobody and Nothing has come."
----Elliott Coleman


I know the shipwreck is out there & spacesuit above the sunflower
But I have no god to pray to before the deep dark sleep takes over
There might be a hologram at the edge of space indeed to hold
Old captains afraid to sail beyond the seas tangled in the ropes

I have only chance to pray to and long for the bodies in my bed
Displayed in desperation on the screen flickering cooperations
That have claimed like figurines my possibilities & weary dream
Nothingness has ever been more profound to the boy on a bike

Peddling into unknown possibilities all over and again each day
Oblivious to the eternal connection of love beyond the playmate
Carrying in him the basic traits of human politics and a history
Of cheating, lying, stealing all tattooed once more in the years

To come clinging like lichen to the seawreck'd hope of shore
If only displayed in artificial form as parasite, vamp, old whore
I've climbed that rigging and never fell but to the hype & prize

I've held on to the wheel alongside the road of progress like
The grass, the weeds always half beaten down & sorrowful
Dandelion pride under the feet of those who walk unawares.

A new poem by AD Winans :

William Burroughs, Charley Plymell and James Grauerholz

Bill Burroughs, charley Plymell and James Grauerholz

"We had to do a special grocery shopping for Ginsberg, who spent most of the time at dinner talking about his special diet that had to be sugar free. They were both asked earlier on stage at Kansas University in Lawrence what their favorite line was in all literature. Bill answered, "Tomorrow,tomorrow tomorrow," and Allen answered "That in black ink my love may still shine bright." After dinner, we reflect and I thought Bill's lines were all too familiar to describe what one goes through trying to score, but of course it had greater connotations. Allen tried to remember and recite the sonnet his lines came from, but couldn't. I said it was easier if he started at the beginning and recited the whole sonnet which I began to do. About halfway through Bill started figiting with his hand in his pocket of his.38 Special. James put his hand on his shoulder to comfort him and whispered "let him finish". Bill wasn't known for liking poetry that much as such, especially my long recital. I laughed to myself while continuing the sonnet, imagining and old cowboy western movie I'd seen where the guy got on stage out in Nevada or somewhere reciting Shakespeare and a drunken cowboy pulled out his revolver to shoot as his feet. They were both impressed at my reciting the whole sonnet.


Soon the Kansas moon lit the sky and Bill was prowling around outside in his pyjamas while James and I talked under a Cottonwood tree. When we came back in, Allen was offered some desert with us, and he reminded us that he must not eat sugar. Bill had been showing off the famous skull from Mexico carved from sugar. I quipped, "At least Allen won't eat your skull!" That got a big chuckle from Bill, who replied in that flat St. Louis voice, "No. Ginsberg won't eat my skull."

That was the last dinner Bill and Allen would have together. It embodied the love that he would later write on his funuary card."

Stéphan Barron: [09carnet_1]ORIENT EXPRESS - STEPHAN BARRON - OSTRALE, DRESDEN 2010

ORIENT EXPRESS à OSTRALE, DRESDE, 2010
New version, will show in Dresden, Ostrale international exhibition from 27.8 to 19.9 2010
video edition dvdremix, and paper edition.

The project was realized during a pivotal phase of european history, two years before the fall of the Berlin wall, there is an almost premonition sense of the rejoining of the post war divide.
This work is highly significant in its use of networks, digital technology and art on global scale. Ideas that seem omni-present now, ecology, travel and changes in our perception of time and space are all thoroughly explored in this mid 80`s work.
Orient express is important in the canon of technoromanticism, there are echos of the work of Caspar David Friedrich exploring common themes of distance, scale, spiritualism and fraternity by employing the tools of our time. By way of co-incidence Friedrich`s ¨The big enclosure¨ (Das große Gehege - Ostra Gehege) was
painted in 1832 at the site that is now the Ostrale.

Après son exposition collective « Sound by artists » en 2009, la galerie Frédéric Giroux entame en 2010
une série d’expositions personnelles d’artistes sonores :
Pascal Broccolichi du 20 mars au 15 mai,
Pierre Beloüin du 22 mai au 19 juin
Optical Sound du 6 au 24 juillet
Jérôme Poret du 4 septembre au 30 octobre
et Pierre-Laurent Cassière du 6 novembre au 23 décembre.




Previously on Optical Sound…
Du 6 au 24 Juillet
Galerie Frédéric Giroux 8 rue Charlot 75003 Paris
http://www.fredericgiroux.com/

Optical sound est une structure hybride et atypique, furtive et mobile qui dessine ses propres frontières entre musique expérimentale et art contemporain. Bien avant l'exode des musiciens vers les contrées plus accueillantes des arts plastiques - crise du disque oblige et soif insatiable de nouveauté - Optical sound œuvre depuis 1997 au mixage interdisciplinaire et produit sans distinction projets de musiciens-artistes- graphistes… : disques, dvd's, badges, sérigraphies, éditions limitées, interfaces, expositions, revues… Pas de dogme, ni de chapelle mais la cartographie d'un territoire animé par un réseau serré d'intervenant qui travaillent en cooptation, par le truchement des productions, des rencontres et du partage des données et des passions. Ici règne la Direction artistique au sens noble du terme, Pierre Beloüin en est le gardien - du studio d'enregistrement ou de la salle de concert, en passant par le Black Cube… - selon. Graphistes, plasticiens, écrivains, journalist es, musiciens font partie d'une dynamique de production, d'une marque de fabrique qui traverse les aléas de la production culturelle underground dans un pays peu réceptif aux décloisonnements et au transferts de genres. Cette exposition fera la part belle à ce qui peut-être vu - galerie oblige - mais lézardera le long des murs et dans les écouteurs cette musique qui depuis la naissance du label hurle en faveur d'un projet mixed media toujours bien vivant.

Feuille d’acier de 5mm d’épaisseur + découpe laser  (140x90) Tirage unique
« Enjoy the silence» est le titre d’un album du groupe de pop électronique anglais : Depeche Mode.
Fixer cette phrase hors de son propos, sur un support non musical et dans un contexte de bruit, devient un geste quasi fictionnel, et sculptural
