Chirot Zero Zine A Heap of Rubble--
Anarkeyology of hand eye ear notations
---
http://chirotzerozine.blogspot.com
the blog is more exusively concerned than this one with presenting essays, reviews (inc. "bad reviews") , Visual Poetry, Sound Poetry, Event Scores, Manifestos, Manifotofestos, rantin' & raving, rock'roll, music all sorts--by myself and others--if you are interested in being a contributor, please feel free to contact me at david.chirot@gmail.com
as with this blog, the arts are investigated as a part of rather than apart from the historical, economic, political actualities of yesterday, today, & tomorrow
as with al my blogs--
contributions in any language are welcome

Free Leonard Peltier

Free Leonard Peltier
The government under pretext of security and progress, liberated us from our land, resources, culture, dignity and future. They violated every treaty they ever made with us. I use the word “liberated” loosely and sarcastically, in the same vein that I view the use of the words “collateral damage” when they kill innocent men, women and children. They describe people defending their homelands as terrorists, savages and hostiles . . . My words reach out to the non-Indian: Look now before it is too late—see what is being done to others in your name and see what destruction you sanction when you say nothing. --Leonard Peltier, Annual Message January 2004 (Leonard Peltier is now serving 31st year as an internationally recognized Political Prisoner of the United States Government)

Miss Universe Visits Guantanamo: 'A Loooot Of Fun!'



Miss Universe Visits Guantanamo: 'A Loooot Of Fun!'


The current 'Miss Universe' Dayana Mendoza (formerly Miss Venezuela) and 'Miss America' Crystal Stewart visited US troops stationed in Guantanamo Bay on March 20th, the New York Times reports. Here's Mendoza's account of the visit from her pageant blog last Friday. She says the trip "was a loooot of fun!"

This week, Guantánamo!!! It was an incredible experience...All the guys from the Army were amazing with us. We visited the Detainees camps and we saw the jails, where they shower, how the recreate themselves with movies, classes of art, books. It was very interesting. We took a ride with the Marines around the land to see the division of Gitmo and Cuba while they were informed us with a little bit of history.


The water in Guantánamo Bay is soooo beautiful! It was unbelievable, we were able to enjoy it for at least an hour. We went to the glass beach, and realized the name of it comes from the little pieces of broken glass from hundred of years ago. It is pretty to see all the colors shining with the sun. That day we met a beautiful lady named Rebeca who does wonders with the glasses from the beach. She creates jewelry with it and of course I bought a necklace from her that will remind me of Guantánamo Bay :)

I didn't want to leave, it was such a relaxing place, so calm and beautiful.

Henokia: Appel A Projets

APPEL A PROJETS

EN VUE D'UN FESTIVAL D'ETE QUI AURA LIEU AUX JARDINS D'EOLE (PARIS 18e) EN 2010 SUR LE THEME : NATURE SAUVAGE, NATURE URBAINE....

POUR DES FORMES COURTES EN EXTERIEUR, NOUS RECHERCHONS :

TOUS TYPES DE PERFORMANCES METTANT EN JEU LE CORPS ET / OU LE TEXTE ET/OU LA VOIX, LE SON :

DANSE, TEXTE, CHANT, MUSIQUE etc...


CES FORMES PEUVENT ETRE PLACEES DANS UN ESPACE DEFINI QUI SERA DEDIEE A DES REPRESENTATIONS (une dalle de 15mx15m) OU ITINERANTES, DANS L'ESPACE DU JARDIN (15mx175m)

PAS DE SONO NI D'INSTALLATION VIDEO, AUCUN BRANCHEMENT...


Bordures arborées de nos boulevards, massifs, pelouses, jardins, parcs, cimetières, jusque dans nos jardins privés et sur nos balcons, la nature est de plus en plus intégrée à notre paysage citadin. Une nature transformée par notre intervention, une nature docile, présentable, respectable, synonyme de calme, d'agrément, de repos.

Mais dans la ville la nature se manifeste également sous son aspect sauvage, primitif, non-maîtrisé par l'homme... Friches, terrains vagues : l'herbe folle reprend rapidement ses droits. Sans compter certaines espèces animales qui s'adaptent tout spécialement au milieu urbain : rats, pigeons, grillons (dans le métro), chats, chiens errants, renards ou même alligators (Miami), et araignées mortelles (Sidney)… !!

Quelles sont exactement les intersections entre les phénomènes naturels et humains ? Comment s'articule cette relation ?

Au delà, c'est la question même de notre propre «nature» qui est en jeu. Education, civilisation, environnement, quelle part de nous même est conditionnée, «domestiquée», quelle part nous relie au monde plus vaste du vivant ?

Au coeur de ce conflit, en passant par le corps, le texte, l'image, en libérant nos instincts, nos pulsions, nos sensations, l'art est à même de nous aider à recontacter notre mystère, l'interroge, et cherche l'équilibre...

CADRE :

- Durée de la manifestation : une semaine
- Période : fin juin, début juillet 2010
- une trentaine d'interventions sous forme de spectacle vivant
- un atelier d'écriture de poésie en plein air auquel seront conviés tous les habitants du quartier. La production écrite des participants servira de matériau pour les artistes qui proposeront de courtes improvisations sur la dalle, entre les spectacles.
- une installation : les «oboo de trash», petits edifices inspirés par des rites chamaniques mongols, construits en direct, à partir d'un travail de récupération de déchets, d'encombrants et de matériaux jetables amenés par les habitants.
