A Face-to-Face Encounter
At its core, sin stems from failing to worship (or love) God exclusively and failing to love our neighbors as ourselves. Clearly Jacob and his family are guilty of both. After God calls on Jacob to fulfill his vow at …Read More
The Resolution Solution

It is extremely easy to dumpster bagels. However, the best find I've had while dumpstering is a ton of candy (Zours!) from a Blockbuster.

A dumpster is a crucial bottle-neck in a fight. It's the point during a battle in which things can either go incredibly well or horribly wrong. Tank smacking, boomer spewing, hunter pouncing, jockey riding wrong.

A large metal container used to collect 'trash' and also used as a food source and even a residence by some worthless, brainless, smelly homeless Bums, like Leroy Knevil. Knevil made the term 'dumpster' more widely known in his 2003 book titled, "My Dumpster...My Home!"

These aren't screenshots. They're concept art.
Completely and utterly different things.
These aren't even guaranteed to be used for the final game. Concept art is usually generated in massive quantities, the "best" items in terms of both quality and feasibility are selected, and then initial content is built from those. That content is then further refined and cut based on quality (fun factor) and feasibility.

Monroe Mystique Brush
CrystalOntario, CanadaHairAuburnNormal HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairNot For MeI wanted to get a brush that didn't rip at my hair, like some of those plastic brushses. It's a really nice brush, makes my hair feel really soft, but I have very thick hair and it only gets the very top layer of my hair, the bristles aren't sturdy enough to brush all the way through my hair. Disappointed I was really excited about getting this brush.
So if you have thick hair, don't buy this brush!posted Oct 5, 2011Link to this post

Reno man drowns at Frenchman Lake
Joshua SeboldStaff Writer7/21/2010Richard David Yee, a 26-year-old Reno resident, drowned Monday, July 19, in Frenchman Lake in Plumas County.
Yee was attempting to swim across a section of the lake with some friends in the late afternoon near the Crystal Point recreation area.
He was ferrying fishing supplies across the water on a small flotation device he was propelling when some of the equipment slipped off and fell into the water.
Yee stopped, went under to retrieve the belongings, and never came back up.
His friends had nearly reached the opposite shore when he disappeared and were too exhausted to reach him in time to do anything.
Plumas County Sheriff Greg Hagwood said Yee became entangled in some underwater plants and probably didn't have the energy to get free.
Another member of the party who stayed on shore caught the entire horrifying incident on video.
The sheriff's search and rescue unit and Forest Service representatives responded to the incident and used the video to locate and recover Yee's body the next afternoon.
Hagwood said alcohol and drugs were not involved in the incident, which he attributed to exhaustion and overestimating swimming abilities.
Hagwood said distances on water could be deceiving and relatively shallow depths could create an illusion of safety.
The section of the lake where Yee drowned was eight feet deep.

Vertigo: 2005/06
San Diego. First Show Day.
Finally here we are. After a year of thought and months of preparation, at last we give birth to something called Vertigo. It was a long old day but we got a result, so much relief all round. The crew loaded in at 2am, being the first time we have had to assemble this in a hurry. The band came in at 2pm for a long soundcheck after which we had a final pow-wow to confirm the set list and overall plan. In the main we stuck to our guns and went with the set-list which has evolved over the past week. Locked and loaded.
Kings of Leon are our opening act for this leg of the tour. They all seem very nice and managed a brief soundcheck before the doors were opened. I always love to watch the audience come in, especially on the first night of the tour when all is anticipation and everything is unknown. It's strange to think that in the age of the internet, after tonight every detail of the show will be global knowledge, but right now it's a great secret known only to a few.
Right before the show the fibre optic link to the video pixel panels went south, which meant that only half the panels were able to function. Whilst grown men ran around with cables and mops, I went and spoke to the wall, just to give myself something to do. We had to delay the start of the show by five minutes or so but mercifully all was restored to health and continued to function throughout the night.
The show? Well, it was a treat. Much of what I had hoped for came to pass and it was enormously satisfying to see the audience response to the various musical and visual elements. This is a small, low-ceilinged building which made the volume of the crowd almost intolerable at times, but I'd guess that they liked it. Bono deemed it better than the opening night of Elevation' (though given that he fell off the stage that night, I am not 100% sure how to read this comment). Regardless, we are clearly onto a winner.
Afterwards there were drinks and celebrations and we ended up in the 'losers' lounge' (the generic affectionate name for the bar in any tour hotel). By this time most of the crew had been up for nearly 24 hours so were fairly incoherent, but it would have been rude not to have at least a low-key celebration. They've worked so hard and remained so positive about everything; there are some great people on board Starship Vertigo.

Snyder up for Astronaut Scholarship
A Dell Rapids woman is up for North Dakota State prestigious Astronaut Scholarship for 2014.Nicole Marie Snyder, a junior from Dell Rapids is majoring in zoology and biochemistry and molecular biology, and one other student were selected as nominees.The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation annually presents $10,000 scholarships to standout undergraduate students majoring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, known as STEM. The foundation was created in 1984 by the six surviving members of America's Mercury 7 astronauts with the intent to aid the nation retain world leadership in science and technology by providing scholarships for students who demonstrate motivation, imagination and a high level of performance."The committee indeed had a difficult decision to make, given the excellent record of all the nominees. In the end, however, it was our collective sense that Nicole Snyder and Zachery Staskywicz, with their academic and research experience, most closely align with the expectations of the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation," wrote R.S. Krishnan, in the formal nomination of the two students.Snyder has been assisting the research of Wendy Reed, associate professor and head of biological sciences. During her three years of research, she has helped rear Franklin's Gull chicks and administered ad libitum feeding. In addition, she independently developed a single-cell gel electrophoresis assay for the lab to measure the amount of DNA damage present in cells. She also worked with graduate students on a USDA project to evaluate red-winged blackbird behavior."I strive to do well in my field, am highly motivated and am committed to success in a future career in avian science," wrote Snyder in her nomination materials.In a letter of support, Reed praised Snyder's work ethic, enthusiasm and aptitude. "Nicole is a very driven individual and I would rank her in the top 1 percent of the students I have seen as undergraduate students in our department. Nicole will be successful; she would not be satisfied with anything less," Reed wrote.

Halloween On Christmas!
Figured some of you might be interested to find out what I got on the big day, so here goes that. Don't wanna bore, and this is a horror blog, so i'll just post a few of the horror related items I got. Granted, most of the things I got were in fact horror related. I'm not complaining! That's what i'm into!
Lots of pictures ahead! Be forewarned!
First and foremost, the grand prize present of the day (and the one which has kept me away from blogging for the last few days) ....
Playstation 3! Hallelujah! I have finally gotten with the times! Got a couple Blu-rays with it (Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull / Iron Man) and a game (Resistance 2). I haven't yet watched the movies but I did rent The Dark Knight on Blu the other day and it was quite the experience. Those boring old DVD's just feel so bland and VHS-like suddenly! And no, I will never be getting rid of my DVD collection. Resistance 2 is a really awesome game that's taken up a good chunk of my free time lately. Then again, my time is usually free time. Anyone else into that whole Playstation Home thing? Create your own character, walk around the mall talking to/fighting with other people currently on their PS3's? It's pretty amazing and highly concerning for the future of our generation. My name's johnnyboots on there, so if ya ever see a scary looking bearded dude with that name above him in the cyber-mall, don't hesistate to come up and say hello! I picked up Mortal Kombat vs DC with some of my Christmas money and it kicks all kinds of ass, as you could imagine. Superman vs Sub-Zero! Can't beat that! And just wait until you lock your eyes on Sonya and Catwoman in this one ...
Jen got me a whole slew of t-shirts from Fright Rags, the best horror shirt company out there. And in fact, the only horror shirts I let adorn my doughy physique. As you can see, she got me the Shining, My Bloody Valentine, Creepshow and Michael Myers shirts. Oh .... and her mom got me this one ...
That's the Fright Rags limited edition Gremlins Stripe shirt! Only 200 were made and they were only made available at a certain time of the day a couple weeks back to the newsletter subscribers! This is no doubt the coolest shirt in my arsenal and the way it was packaged and pulled off by the FR boys was truly impressive. It came in this awesome black box ...
... and the tag, which is printed directly onto the shirt, lets everyone know just how exclusive and badass it really is ...
The shirt is completely sold out but if you can track down one on Ebay, I highly suggest you pick it up. Needless to say, I probably won't be taking this baby off for quite some time. My apologies to anyone within 5 feet of me a couple weeks from now. Thanks Joan A. Ross!
Stuntman Mike bobblehead! I had never even seen this thing before Christmas morning and it continues the tradition of my brother finding an awesome horror figure to get me that i've never seen or heard about before. Last year, he got me this Hostel 12 inch figure that turned out to be some kind of bootleg ...
I messaged Eli Roth about it on MySpace after I got it and he thanked me for alerting him about it. Where's my walk on role in Hostel 3, Eli?!
Anyway, the Stuntman Mike figure is awesome and incredibly well done, as always from the guys at NECA. His cigarette even comes out of his mouth! Kurt Russel now proudly sits right next to my PS3, bobbing his head up and down in approval as I slay me some virtual zombies!
My brother also got me this framed picture of Freddy, which if you could see closer, you'd see is hundreds and hundreds of small horror movie pictures that comprise his face. Let's see if I can get a nice shot showing that ...
It's apparently #10 of only 25 made and it makes an excellent centerpiece for my ever growing (and admittedly lacking) Freddy display ...
Also got a pack of Elm Street playing cards ...
Each one features a different photo from the series. Can't wait to bust these out at the next Blackjack gathering at my place. Oh wait, that's right, i'm barely a man and don't even know how to play Blackjack!
Speaking of Freddy, remember this life size Freddy blow up lawn decoration I got on clearance around Halloween time? Well Jen got me the Jason one to go along with it!
That's gonna be one badass lawn come Halloween next year!
And speaking of Jason! The new centerpiece of my coffee table ....
Crystal Lake Memories : The Complete History of Friday the 13th! This book is absolutely chock full of pictures, interviews, and all the info you could ever want on Jason and the Friday series. Over 300 pages of extensive and comprehensive information, and the print is all pretty small! I've only read the foreword (by Sean Cunningham) and introduction thus far, and that took me about 40 minutes to read and i've already learned a ton of stuff. I figure i'll still be reading this thing well into next Christmas season! Any fans of Friday the 13th, DEFINETLY pick this book up NOW.
Last but not least, this one's not horror related, but I had to include it!
Recognize that? It's the moose mug that Clark and Eddie drank egg nog out of in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!! I've always wanted one of these and my life feels just a little bit more complete now that I have one. If only I had me some egg nog ...
I'd say Santa was good to me this year! It's just too bad we left the fireplace on when we went to bed Christmas eve ...
Oh well, at least I got a new decoration out of it!
So what did YOU get for Christmas?
By the way, if ya get the chance, I wrote an article earlier today on Benevolent Street about this badass new horror book called Splattered Beauty. It's got a synopsis and even a small excerpt and pretty much all the info you could want on it.

Hey, I got socks and underwear too! They may not seem exciting Christmas morning, but once you find yourself out and about in clean fresh new socks and undies, you'll thank the person who got 'em for ya!

That moose mug is pretty fucking cool. lol
I got a bunch of boring practical stuff like a new coffee maker, desk chair, cooking knives, ect., which was cool because I'm irresponsible and treat myself to goodies all year long and never the stuff I actually need. - December 30, 2008 at 8:47 AM
I agree you made out really well, I really want to play MK vs. DC, what did you think of Dark Knight?
My gf got me cigar acessories and my sister got me a ticket to a Trail Blazers game.
Not too bad and my birthday is coming up (hint hint Brian C). - December 30, 2008 at 9:24 AM

I really liked Dark Knight. There's really no way it could live up to the hype that surrounded it, but it's still an awesome movie. I was a huge fan of Batman Begins too.

strickly speaking the rest of the year is a total waste of time in comparison to the majestic magnificence of christmas, there really is something so indescribably special and magical about those 6 weeks from late november up to early january, as i said the rest of the year is a laughable joke in comparison.

I caught this on the Red Eye —
SAIC student from Iran nominated for Cannes award SAIC student's short film nominated for Cannes award It's only been two years since Anahita Ghazvinizadeh moved from Iran to the U.S. to pursue a film-focused master's in studio art at the School of the Art Institute Chicago, but the 23-year-old filmmaker already has racked up a nomination for the Cannes Film Festival's prestigious Cinéfondation Prize.
"I was really surprised and very happy,†Ghazvinizadeh said. "We worked really hard on this film, but I wasn't expecting that it would get into a great festival like Cannes.â€
Ghazvinizadeh's 21-minute short film, "Needle,†the story of a preteen girl getting her ears pierced, was one of 1,550 entries from 277 schools all over the world.
She said the nomination has been doubly rewarding because it recognizes the first film project that she completed in the U.S. after moving from Iran. Before "Needle,†Ghazvinizadeh had already completed a short film called "When the Kid was a Kid†and co-written a feature film, "Mourning,†in Iran, but "Needle†was the first project she made in the U.S. (read more)

As I mentioned yesterday, there is a great performance festival taking place called IN>TIME. Organized by artist Mark Jeffrey, IN>TIME features both international and local artists exhibiting in 14 diverse venues across the city between the months of January and March. Bad at Sports will be posting a mini-series of interviews and essays about this festival, including an upcoming interview with Mark Jeffrey himself. This particular post is dedicated to two concurrent exhibits at threewalls that are also part of Jeffrey's festival. On January 11th, Mary Patten's performance/sound/video installation, Panel opened in the main space. Mathew Jinks' began screening his new 73 minute, single-channel HD video, The Unreliable Narrator, in the project space. While these artists are distinct from one another, exhibiting independent projects, I was interested in facilitating a conversation between them, particularly as both negotiate film, performance, history and collaboration. These exhibits will be on view until February 23rd, with an artist talk from Jinks on January 31st at 7pm, as well as a performance, SCHIZO CULTURE: A Collaborative Reading, and publication release of the catalogue associated with PANEL. On February 9th, there will be another performance, SCHIZO PANEL, at 7 PM.
Caroline Picard:Â You both call on speculative fiction in your respective projects. What does it mean for each of you to employ the fantastic?Â
Mathew Jinks: The idea of alternate histories is very resonant for me, not necessarily in the reconstruction of various alternative spaces, but aiding in imagining that sense of an 'other' space that can be inhabited by a narrative. Fictive narratives do not interest me. They seem too comfortable as a source of abstract invention in some way, which I see as an escape from reality and a dead end street; a more complex and evocative device for me is to sow seeds of doubt, to introduce situations and characters with a set of dynamics which have been loaded from the start and see how they play out. The origination in my practice was at the point of departure from personal histories and the evolution of expansive political histories.
Mary Patten: Mathew's articulation of alternate histories, his desire to "sow seeds of doubt,†the leaking or trespassing of "personal†histories into the territory of "the political†are all-compelling to me… and describe sensibilities or impulses that have shaped my own work for many years. It's very difficult, maybe even pointless, to draw an easy divide between "fact†and "fiction,†despite persistent claims of "objective journalism†or "scientific truth.†This is well-trodden territory: what "we†(in the most capacious sense) collectively and cumulatively "know†is subject to constant revision and reconstruction. We understand that "facticity†doesn't equal truth, and that what passes as fiction is not a series of falsehoods. One of the oldest cultural practices, the oral tradition — often taking the form of what we call fables or myths — has been a crucial element in constructing "history.†And yet "telling stories†is still a euphemism for telling lies.
"Speculative†introduces the possibility of wonder, a wandering imagination, the work of invention to heal or bridge inescapable gaps in any historical record. It is a kind of affective, archaeological process to make empirically un-provable connections between obscure, unknown or little-known histories. "Speculative†need not connote the fantastical, however — at least not in the "spectacular†sense. These words are funny… so interconnected, but full of paradoxes.
In the case of Panel, I was drawn to an obscure transcript, photocopied many-times over, given to me by the only participant still living, my friend Judith Clark, herself a survivor of a barely-remembered radical history, serving a 75-to-life sentence in Bedford Hills prison in New York State. (Judy's story deserves its own independent telling; I would ask readers to please check out judithclark.org.)
Judy's memory of the "panel on prisons and asylums†at Schizo Culture is that the three men – Foucault, Harp, and Laing – did most of the talking. That's contradicted by the transcript, which is itself very odd, characterized by breaks and ellipses. We know from Sylvère Lotringer's accounts that the entire Schizo Culture conference was rife with outbursts and interruptions, including this panel discussion, although that's not evident in the transcription.
In attempting to re-stage a little-known but somewhat exotic event, I wanted to resist any impulse to reconstruct or "narrativize†the episode in any kind of "realistic†way. I didn't want a performance designed to dissolve the distance between the "original†event and its contents, both very marked by that moment of the mid 1970s, and yet eerily (and depressingly) prescient of our current traumas of the "societies of controlâ€: diagnosis, punishment, imprisonment, and torture. I didn't want to blend or unify these four amazing characters and social actors, two of whom (Foucault and Laing) possess an iconicity shimmering with all kinds of aura, with the people reading and inhabiting their words now. I am compelled by both the "connects†and "disconnects.â€
CP: You share an interest in collaboration, but also work independently. How do you negotiate the role of an author who is also dedicated to fostering relationships in your work?Â
MJ: I have always felt uncomfortable in a lonely practice, with the idea of the studio Artist who appears after years of hermetic work with a portfolio under the arm. I began working for other artists in Chicago because I had always been a part of a DIY scene which to me was about skill sharing and enabling others to achieve their goals whilst you achieved yours, doing this I witnessed the evolution of a work through multiple creative minds first hand and this stayed with me. I introduce performers and artists into my works to have them re-interpret my ideas, for them to take the work in directions unknown to myself or to the work. It is quite stressful in many ways to work with others, although I am not precious about my projects I do have creative demands and I like to try to keep the overall affect of the work under my thumb. In return I try hard to become a tool for them to use, whether I am recording sound as I did for Mary's Piece, working as a Cameraman for Kirsten Leenars, or doing sound for Melika Bass. I simply try to gel with the process at hand.
The most important elements of my practice that I feel need to be under my control I will do myself, The Unreliable Narrator was shot, edited and mixed by myself, with voiceover recordings, studio shoots, post image production all done in my studio. I decided to use a colorist to step up my game a little and he really did a great job, I wanted some animation work for the chapter titles and again I used a great animator Han Han Li — the big key for this work was to employ a Producer, Parveer Singh Sohal. Without Parveer's connections in India the work would not exist, so that was an integral decision. I needed access. But Parveer is not a Producer, he is a Graphic Designer and so there were many discussions about what I needed and what he was bringing to the project.
MP: Mathew's discomfort with the notion of a lonely, hermetic studio practice and artistic identity is of course very much in sync with my own ideas, feelings, and history… although not without risks — losing oneself in the collective, for example. A good friend who shares a similar collaborative history once commented that it's possible that no one will know or remember that her labor and creativity helped form some of these projects, since individual authorship is so often dissolved… I'm obviously not talking here about the art world's current embrace of "relational practices†and the career building that goes along with that. But as I've said elsewhere, I continue to be drawn to collaborative ways of working, such as the Chicago Torture Justice Memorials Project, because it's urgently needed, and impossible to realize by a single or even a handful of authors. Most importantly, collaborations embody the kind of collective labor and passion necessary to any project that's trying to make change.
As you, Caroline, and Mathew make very clear, the project of film and videomaking, like so many art forms, is necessarily collaborative… Chris Marker makes this point beautifully during the ending credits of "Grin without a cat†which he dedicates to the anonymous and unnamed artists and technicians without whose clips, shots, sequences, and documents that epic film would have never been realized, seen, or distributed. To that point, I would like to acknowledge the thoughtful labor, participation, and support of performers Darrell Moore, Mikal Shapiro, Matthias Regan, and Mark Jeffery; Directors of Photography Yoni Goldstein and Meredith Zielke; Mathew for such great sound engineering; Alex Brown for assisting with camera; Ilan Gutin for helping with the large prints; and the lovely, hardworking, and brilliant Joey Carr who has worked as producer, compositor, and hardware/software engineer.
CP: You call on various histories, whether philosophical or psychological traditions, fortune telling traditions,  — is it possible to collaborate with disciplines? Or do you think about the way you engage those traditions differently?
MJ: This is a wonderful question; tradition by nature is a stubborn legacy and confronting it head on is an antagonistic strategy. If you lay the threads down together: personal history and its discipline of remembrance, familial oral history, musical traditions as in Jazz, Cheiromancy, Homeopathy, Metallurgy, then these lines will touch and intersect like magnets picking up each other. It is a naïve want to reshape these lines to any sort of permanence. I think of Francis Alys work, The Collector — with the magnet on wheels that he pulls behind him collecting metal from the street as he goes — the street will fill up once again with shards and paperclips. Francis creates a moment of being present, and it's this re-presenting and laying down with traditions in new almost aleatoric ways.
MP: I consider myself a visitor, a curious student, an interloper or trespasser in many disciplines, an auto-didact, or rather someone who has learned from many teachers and texts, "negative†as well as exemplary…
CP:Â How do you all think of beginnings and endings? Are those narrative touchstones useful to you?Â
MJ: No, I instinctively move away from creating narrative structure, arcs and so forth. I find the idea of conclusion quite arrogant in non-fiction. The episodic device is interesting because it introduces the idea of the 'false start', or the hidden track at the end of an album, or the prologue as in Bergman's Persona, or 'rewind' in Jamaican dance hall, the stutter. This is why gallery installations are so useful: people enter and leave as they wish; this is a very considered position for my work, the ideal position.
MP: There are no real beginnings. We're always starting in the middle, picking up someone else's traces and tracks… For me, in the realm of ideas, relationships, as well as many projects over the years, there are so many interruptions and breaks… things are "left for now†and unfinished or deferred. I find it much more habitual to abandon something, rather than "end†it. Like Mathew, I am drawn to the episodic, to "false starts†and "stuttersâ€â€¦ but when Mathew talks about resisting narrative arcs, I think he is perhaps referring to "mainstream†or what we used to call "Hollywood narrative cinemaâ€â€¦ for me, there are so many wonderful, rich and complicated examples of "narrative fiction†that escape these constraints – the films of Robert Bresson and Chantal Akerman, for example, but also so many more – in cinema and literature, in expanded forms of the essay, in experimental non-fiction and media forms…
CP:Â How do you conceive of utopia? Is such a thing possible? Is it a condition of being? Or a place?Â
MJ: More than a construct, a Modernist ideal, pathological, LSD induced? I never conceive of utopia. Utopia and dystopia to me are devices, but they are not very interesting devices. They suggest spaces of utter happiness or utter sadness and isn't that a psychological state? Bi-Polar? There is no tension in these extreme spaces and it is too easy to create heroics from such static dynamics. This is exactly what popular culture thrives on. The fine-line-in-betweens, and the slippage that occurs within those minimal gradations is what art production responds to. The  entertainment industry responds to those other extremes. Even in a spiritual sense — in Buddhism, for instance, elements are in a balance, whereas in cults, the utopian ideals are offset by the leader sexually prowling its herd for ultimate control. Conceiving of utopia maybe undermines an art making practice? Desire is a more interesting space to work from for me. It has the same goal as utopia — the perfect space — but it is much more psychologically complex. Desire is fixated on process, and the moment. There is presence in desire without conclusion.
MP: Unlike Mathew, I don't think that utopian impulses can be reduced to mere devices, or that they are necessarily tied to dangerous heroic narratives… maybe this is just a difference of language, because I find that his conception of desire as a transformative force is very akin to what I would call utopian longings.
Until fairly recently, it's been fashionable to dismiss "utopia†because of its attachment to so many terrible and failed agendas that promised brave new worlds and then delivered totalitarianisms. We know now that we should dislike and mistrust master narratives, totalities of certainty, and teleological schemes. However, I am drawn to utopian impulses not just because I was formed through my engagement with them – to the point of political lunacy, perhaps – but also perversely because they have been a despised or at best suspect category for so long.
Contemporary social movements and revolts against globalized capital, the fleeting "occupys,†the movements of the squares, the queer utopias of so many interesting artists today, all embody what people call "prefigurative politicsâ€: "Be the change you want to make.†The emphasis is on the here and now, against telos, embracing not only possibility, but doubt. Recognizing that we, and all matter, is/are in a constant state of becoming, that small and invisible shifts and changes are always (potentially) occurring, whether or not they are seen or recognized… this is what intrigues and provokes me. Brian Massumi is an extremely useful thinker and writer here.
Paradoxically, there's a lot of interest in reclaiming utopian thinking now because of how hopeless and scary the world has become, how reduced and flattened to information, to bits and bytes everything seems… and all the ways that capitalism forecloses the imagination and desire, except as an instrument of and for the commodity, no pleasure outside of consumption… or the deadliness of an actuarial life, with its endless assessment debits and credits…
CP:Â What does it mean to come from somewhere? What role does memory play in that reality?
MJ: The transition is interesting, to come from somewhere to go to somewhere else, and the translation from one meaning to another. There is a great deal of nostalgia and longing for previous inhabited spaces, especially if you have been formed by them in some way; that complicates memory. A new space can act as a lens from which to view the previous space and this is truly a unique position. You no longer belong to that place but the memories are attached to you, somehow the filtration from one's current position gives a sober screen. I think it is essential but painful, and again that tension of knowing you need separation while at the same time being in touch with a sense of longing is the drive for this 'other' space to be imagined in my work.
MP: Again, we return to the problem of origins…Years ago, I made a piece provoked by Courbet's "The Origin of the World.†I was very influenced by Linda Nochlin's pivotal essay on that infamous painting, and the difficulty, if not impossibility, of locating an originary point — whether in relationship to that picture, which existed in several versions, disappeared, and re-surfaced over a long stretch of time… as well as the funny ridiculousness of imagining the universal vulva-cunt as the origin of us all, the Great Mother… how much better to use the term "beaver� or just ordinary women's names: a succession of beavers…
A more recent project was instigated by the notes, translated from Arabic into English, allegedly written by Mohammed Atta in preparation for the hijackings and attacks of September 11, 2001. When I read these, all sorts of problems immediately presented themselves. Was this an actual document? Were the notes, in fact, "found� or were they a fiction, invented to "prove†a rationale as incomprehensible as the acts that followed? Was this a reliable translation?
The idea that translation is often slippery and inexact, and sometimes impossible, is widely acknowledged. Yet we like to pretend that complete transparency is within our reach, that vast differences of culture, language, and history can be breached, if only the right tools, technologies, and "mindsets†are available. And translation, like everything else, has undergone a renewed politicization in this ever-encapsulated world.
In a lot of my work, I explore spaces and distances between a "here†and a "there,†a presumed "center†and its "periphery,†to work off the grid to the point of falling off a map completely. I work with images drawn from public, although possibly ephemeral archives – things like newspapers, outtakes, margins of the margins – to fictionalize them, at the same time as undermining the authority of "authentic†or alleged autobiography. Like Mathew, I'm preoccupied with the instability of memory, very enamored of the idea, the necessity of the unreliable narrator… or the mute, opaque, or invisible one.
