Greendale Declaration

The Bloggist commends the artist for his forthright declaration of affection.

Heligoland Obelisk

“Desolate and sparsely occupied, in the dunes of Heligoland a glowing obelisk-like triangular fetish, anachronistic yet beautiful, turns the harsh terrain into an ethereal alien world punctuated by geometry”, review by Buil de Onplezierig, academic and sciolist, in the modernist cultural magazine Contemporary Regional Art Periodical, a publication best known by its acronym.

The New Politics

The Bloggist and his friend, Alfred Jarry, talk about the new politics based on falsehood, xenophobia, nationalism, and isolationism and the politicians who use falsehood and advocate xenophobia, nationalism, and isolationism. They agree with Martin Luther King that, "True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring". Mr. Jarry suggests, “Take my advice, whenever you meet any politician that talks about nationalism, globalisation and isolationism and fraudulently claims to be showing compassion and benevolence, or ought to be showing compassion and benevolence and isn’t, keep your eyes on them and their henchmen and look for the exit”. Despite his atheism and anti-clericalism, Mr. Jarry mutters lines from the third Psalm, “Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked”.
