La Cultura è pericolosa?

A quanto pare sì. Il romanzo 1984 di George Orwell è stato sconsigliato agli studenti, perché, secondo l’università del North Hampton, “contiene del materiale che potrebbe essere sconfortante e pericoloso“.

Ma di cosa parla 1984? Di un Ministero della Verità e di un popolo controllato dalla Paura e un Grande Fratello che dice alla gente cosa pensare. Di un mondo dove «la guerra è pace» e «l’ignoranza è forza» e di un una nuova lingua, il NewsSpeak, con pochi vocaboli e concetti elementari, perché il linguaggio crea il pensiero, e senza pensiero non può esserci neanche un pensiero critico.

È una lettura piacevole, allegra, divertente? No, non lo è affatto. Non è né piacevole, né divertente, né allegra. È piacevole la lettura di Se questo è un uomo di Primo Levi? È divertente il Diario di Anna Frank? Una giornata di Ivan Denisovič o Arcipelago Gulag di Solženicyn sono letture amene? Non lo sono. E non hanno bisogno di esserlo.

Leggendo 1984 proverete un senso di angoscia, di soffocamento, ma anche qualcos’altro. Non un sentimento positivo, non esattamente, ma un sentimento altrettanto forte, altrettanto potente: la ribellione. Davanti alla folla che con crudeltà e senza ragione, si abbandona ai due minuti d’odio proverete disgusto; vi sentirete soffocare, proprio come si sente soffocare Winston, davanti al Ministero della Verità che si arroga il diritto di decidere cosa sia lecito pensare, e proverete orrore per quella gente ottusa, incapace di vedere, di sentire, di provare qualcosa che non sia la verità digerita che il Grande Fratello dice loro.

Non è la prima volta che un romanzo viene bandito perché considerato pericoloso, sovversivo, immorale. È accaduto al Grande Gatsby, è accaduto a Lolita di Nabokov e all’amante di Lady Chatterley di Lawrence. È accaduto anche a Baudelaire. La letteratura viene censurata perché non si comprende il messaggio che questi scrittori hanno voluto trasmetterci o perché lo si comprende fin troppo bene. Leggete Orwell, leggete tutti quei libri che sono pericolosi o immorali. Il vero pericolo sarebbe non leggerli.

G.Middei, anche se voi mi conoscete come Professor X. (Se sarete al Salone del Libro quest’anno, passate nello stand W53 della Navarra Editore: vi troverete un’edizione limitata con autografo e dedica del mio romanzo Clodio. Vi abbraccio.)

Character/Movie List

Below is movies and TV shows I like personally and are lsited as a reference. If you don't see something you're interested in, it is not that I don't like it, it is because I most likely forgot it because I love so many movies/shows tbh. Just ask, and I'll answer! And, from the Rules and Regulations page, what I had meant by "mostly" is that I can dabble outside of the acting world and into actors/actresses themselves and/or singers, popstars, etc.

{Another side-note, I am not so much into shows, but mostly movies! Although, there are some exceptions that I love beyond belief!}

[objectheadzine]

(Illustration by Theholeyness)

The theme of the fifth Object Head Zine is “SUPERSTITION” or simply Good luck/Bad luck.

Show us your tidbits of folktales, little stories you believed in that would change your luck, or your favourite local urban legends. As with the 3rd edition, this can be a little flexible - you can draw either object heads relating to folklore items, good luck/bad luck items or have them put into superstitious/folklore situations! It can be either scary or cutesy or even a mix of both! You may include monsters, but please keep object heads the focus of your piece.

This book will feature 45 people I’ve selected, plus 25 open slots available to the public for a total of 70 participants! This year’s zine is a PAID OPPORTUNITY of $100 CAD (approx. $80 USD) per page. Participants will be paid as soon as they complete their piece (give or take a week for paypal to transfer funds). There will be a preorder sale to cover the costs of printing and shipping.

The 45 pre-selected participants are:

Potentialforart | This is Hannako | Rachel Stolberg | MannyAndys | Rezllen/Robin Crew | Corviday | Modmad | Nighto | Haley/Ivan Kasof | Aaron Alexovich  | Miru/Inktrashing | Cacoethic & Lenalis | 2-ee | ArticBleu | Kimberly Wang | Bri R. | Amelia Carmela Zuccaro | Shibara | Francis M | John Gorillaprutt | Lye Lawrence | Emily Gossmann | Angelo W | Louise Kay Uy (Kalkie) | Coey Kuhn | Britney Brent | Vee (Cassandra) | Holeyness | Kiana McMillian | TigerToony | Taylor Robin | Naomi Romero | RadJinja (Cathy A.) | Evan Dahm | Hobermen | Tess Stone  |  Crypto |  Cosmicloak  | ENDO | Verface | ElliEspy | MerriMonster | Kaley Bales | Fenris Lansing | Slitherbot

The guidelines are as follows:

Illustration-quality works in either digital or traditional mediums. Both colour and b/w acceptable; background required. *BG can be as simple as a pattern or colour block!

6”x9”, 300 DPI illustrations with a 1/8th inch bleed (FINAL DIMENSIONS SHOULD BE 6.25” x 9.25”) Works must be in CMYK, a template will be provided via email if you are selected. Works will be in a vertical format only.

15 slots are open for a 1-4 page comic. A separate portfolio of your comic works must be sent in for consideration.

At least one (1) work in progress picture should be sent in with your final illustration/comic.

For consistency’s sake, keep faces to a minimum (You can have eye(s) or you can have mouth(s) but don’t have both in a humanoid arrangement.)

Original characters only (yours or your friends’).

You can include humans/monsters as long as there’s a 1:1 object head to human/monster ratio.

This book is for all ages. PG-13 content at the most! Cartoon violence and blood are acceptable, but realistic gore is NOT. Use your common sense. If you’re unsure, run the idea by me.

Completed illustrations/comics must be sent as a flattened psd or tiff file.

To apply, please submit:

Examples of your work (art blog/tag, homepage, etc). If you wish to submit a comic, please provide examples of your comic work as well. Object heads are not required in your portfolio but always welcome.

The name you want to be credited with

The website you want to be linked on the credits page

The email you want to be displayed on the credits page (optional)

If you have an idea of what superstitious concept you want to portray, feel free to describe it in a few sentences as well. This is Not Essential, however.

There are only 15 slots for comics available due to page count space so if you apply for a comic space, and you are selected, you may not be picked for comics but instead illustration!

Please send this information to objectheadzine (at) hotmail (dot) com, plus any questions you may have about the zine. I’ll do my best to reply promptly. If you haven’t received a response from me regarding your application in a few days, please send it again. There are a few essential questions answered over at the FAQ. There is also a twitter account for the zine for frequent updates and WIPs of the book! For more constant feedback/information, feel free to join the Object head Zine Discord chat (now working correctly). There is also a useful timeline of the zine process found on the top bar of the tumblr account or Here.

Applications are due May 2nd, 2018, 11:59 PM, PST.

In the early 1990’s, Rod Penner arrived in New York City from out of nowhere.

From outside of Houston, specifically.

By car, transporting a painting he’d done.

The work, measuring about 24 x 36 inches, depicted a suburban home with a verdant front lawn.

The painting astonished gallerist Ivan Karp and his staff at O.K. Harris Works Of Art.

When asked about his background, Penner said…

- He was originally from Vancouver, Canada.

- He had studied art at Oral Roberts University.

- And, from the beginning, he had aimed to be a photorealist painter.

Penner didn’t emerge from an academic, beaux arts tradition or merely a precisionist milieu.  

He looked at photorealist books and learned from them as points of departure.

At one point, Penner was asked why the blades of grass in this particular painting were expressively articulated.  "Because, in real life, they are thick and coarse,“ he replied.  

It was the last work of art that Penner had ever done that was a hybrid representation of both nature and photography.  

Since then, Penner has been purely a painter of photographs.

Primarily of the exteriors of small town and suburban homes, storefronts, and commercial buildings of no particular note.

Except for how they are visually represented - factually and evocatively -  by the artist

Also of roads and intersections.

Upon which the only discernible activity is that they catch sunlight and cast shadows during the middle of the day and reflect artificial light during the middle of the night.

Occasionally, the rising or the setting of the sun suggests the possibility of the passage of time in his paintings.

So subtly so that, by remarking upon the occasion, one would have to also note that the event is equal in weight to everything else in the composition.

Noticeably - and fortunately so for his audience - Penner has refined and updated his approach during each and every phase of his career.

This is what he has in common with the earliest painters of photorealism, who were acknowledged 45 to 49 years ago for perceiving realism in new ways and, along with the earliest minimalist painters, for producing the most extraordinary works without revealing the touch of the artist’s hand.

One can comment on Penner’s technique in achieving this effect.  It’s been noted that he uses "brushes as small as #000, [as] he renders each worn brick, pavement crack, and fallen leaf in precise detail.”

However, it all starts in the mind.

The mind that motivates the artist to identify views.

Which prompt him to pause.

With his camera.

And record them.

And to which he has no emotional attachment.

Penner has stated “that ’…having grown up in Canada, I’m thankful I don’t have any childhood memories of these small Texas towns that might interfere with my observations.’”

Penner, of course, edits each source image in order to achieve the effects that he is after in creating each composition.  

Minimizing.  Amplifying.  Cropping.  And pulling back in order to establish broader views and/or to allow for a store sign, a length of a parking lot curb, or a pair of inflatable snowmen to appear - but for a moment - as a feature of interest in a painting.

Most notably, it is Penner’s choosing to paint small-scale works that is of significant interest now.

During a solo exhibition of Penner’s paintings at Ameringer | McEnery | Yohe, New York, from April 27 to May 26, 2017, viewers could encounter an extraordinary body of works, each of which measured either 5 x 7-½ inches or 6 x 6 inches.

In regarding each work up-close, one could immediately detect a sense of expansiveness in the small, Texas town settings that Penner has chosen to depict.

It’s all very harmonious.

“Commie’s Tacos,” for example, is really about the space surrounding the eatery, which is partially - and not entirely - depicted towards the right of the composition.  The street in front of the establishment sets the building back for the viewer.  The street at its side vertically bisects the image, and, the utility pole (and the wires emanating from it) functions as a visual tent pole for the work.  The wires are connected to several buildings further to the rear and off to the side and to a more distant pole, and they call attention to and amplify the physical presence of the sky, itself a mixture of cloudiness and blueness.

“G & R Grocery” depicts the eponymous store, which is set back in a parking lot of what may be a shopping strip.  The long, deep cracks in the asphalt run towards the shop.  The parking area directly in front of the store is paved with red brickwork; its horizontal orientation - as well as that of the concrete sidewalk immediately before the store - very subtly brings the viewer closer into the scene but also act as a sort of boundary between where a driver presumably enters the lot and the store itself.

In “Yard Inflatables,” a pair of tall decorative inflatables - a somewhat sagging, bearded toy soldier with a drum and a snowman - flank the sides of the front yard of a suburban home.  Bare trees buttress the jolly inflatable figures.  The grass is green, albeit with barely noticeable brown patches, and its horizontality draws attention to the the black asphalt road before it and the white house behind it.  The white paint is conspicuously peeling, but the front porch is tastefully, yet simply, adorned with white Christmas lights and a wreath.  The sky, which is visible behind the tallest and slenderest of the trees’ branches, is a blend of blue skies and white clouds.  On the roof, one can say that the antenna resembles a cross.  Although “Yard Inflatables” looks optimistic, it is not sentimental.  It is, however, one of a number of works by Penner that is characterized by romantic tendencies.

Penner’s small-scale works - in the age of Instagram and a world with hand-held smartphones and tablet computing devices - seem to be in synch with how, in the current decade, pictures are viewed and also how reality is perceived.  Landscapes in these sizes have existed for centuries, and Penner has produced many medium and large paintings throughout his career.  Nevertheless, his most recent works are most timely and relevant.
