tuesday 19th february 2008

hells bells.
what a fire we have a blazing here. repeating myself i know but....
hells bells.
david has set wheels in motion that might enable us to meet up with robert in canada. what a glorious thought. it appears to be legal and, as far as i can tell, quite moral.

kek-w has started another set of wheels rolling in terms of a chapbook which murmurists has thrown his weight behind so lets see what happens on that front.

forrest too has suggested that we all contribute, in some form or other, to a zine. another sound idea.

not to forget robert's HUGE input into the myspace sit.

we have jase, jaie, jaan punching like rocky and now we have been joined by yet another artist, Nelson. Nelson comes from Brazil so a big welcome to him. thanks for joining the very best art site on the net (Ruela please tell Nelson how glad we are that he has joined. this along with all the wonderful posts everyone has been doing of late takes me on to my final entry....

... how do we get nominated for the turner and, before anyone asks, i am entirely serious and why not?

c'mon...let's do it!

Russell CJ Duffy said...

thanks Ruela. Note that I have made the change.

Robert said...

hasnt been a bad time for me to fall down and scrape my knees a bit at all...others have certainly jumped in and contributed to keeping the text portion of the site jumping :D

id love to contribute more here, but there are so many others just DRIVING the place right along that it just doesnt feel necessary...and with the living conditions im currently living through, it's practically impossible for me to write that much anayway

so i figure the least i can do is keep adding friends over at myspace...we were closing in on 600 the last i looked, and ill keep that up

it looks like come April 1st my homeless dude days are over...and when i get my own lil place with a desk and a ghetto blaster, maybe a lap-top, THEN ill be ready to throw down over here on a more regular basis!

:)

this Turner im assuming is a big art prize or grant?

if that means some money, i vote we use that to do a collective project on the scale of FUCKING NUTS and hopefully QUASI-LEGAL!

something legendary

something class war!

to dream!!

this place has been on fire, and i'm disappointed i haven't been able to join in, I haven't had any free time.

but its great to see new people with their own styles, and everyone else who's been kickin' ass.

Russell CJ Duffy said...

turner is, as far as i know, one of, if not THE, biggest prize you can win in art.

Robert said...

well, i did a google search, and...

i mean, Banksy did a protest piece for the awards ceremony one year

if they give us an award (not likely), id take it just for the money

but im not about to petition or apply for it, that's for sure

and i seriously doubt those rich tossers even know we exist

fuck em

Russell CJ Duffy said...

rich tossers?
have you been studying english? LOL!

Robert said...

when i was twelve, my best friend was British

at one point i had a pretty decent Cockney accent, CJ :D

plus i used to buy the old Class War paper back in the 80s LOL!!

Jaie said...

just discovered this section here!! Just to agree that, we rock, and some recognition of a rockness should be given..just saying...

I am not Kek-w said...

Hell, yeah: we do rock...

Rob: Google a bit more (when yr able) about the Turner Prize...it's had an interesting history (mostly rubbish) but check about the KLF setting up their own counter-award a few years ago...]

London is like NY - it has its own middle class Hoxteth art mafia and we'll never be part of that, but who cares: WE ARE DISCHARGE!

Matina L. Stamatakis said...

Welcome aboard, Nelson!



Wish I could make it to O' Canada...

Things have been chaotic enough here, so I apologize for not posting lately--hopefully I'll post something before the rigor mortis sets in!

Like I said before, you guys ARE on fire. Don't know how you all do it!!

Robert said...

Matina,

you live two homeruns away from Canaduh

youre coming!!!

Ruela said...

kek is right


there's a lot of art mafia
