nm0002::Amor y Sexo

nm0002, originalmente cargada por dead kids on the blog.

Borracha me prometió amor eterno
y ser mi alma gemela;
todo (sin que se lo esperara) por un mal polvo.

La verdad es que no la conocí en un guateque [pero todo surgió en uno que organizamos].

Ni Yo, ni Ella, eramos altos (Yo a lo mejor si un poco) y delgados.

El roce, creo, no hace el cariño pero si ayuda a que nos toquemos y nos besemos (cosa que me gusta mucho).

Y el contacto humano es muy importante,

y sentir la piel ajena como la propia es la base de sentir y experimentar la líbido propia como otra.

Lo contrario es un camino desesperante y desesperado por el páramo de la impotencia

de deseos no logrados y experiencias sexuales con personas no gratificantes que generan desconfianza.

Y el alcohol y otras drogas, por mucho que digan, no ayudan sino que todo empeora.

Con lo fácil que sería querernos, amarnos y follar como amigos o desconocidos.

Era guapa,
joven
y bella;
pero saltó por la ventana.

Esté claro o no,

la juventud ese divino tesoro

no sirve de protección ante los ataques,

interno y externos,

que sufre actualmente la psique de cualquiera.

Leí hace un poco una cita de un grafiti del 68 francés,

no sé si será verdadera pero lo que dice:

"Eyacula tus deseos"

es como veo mi propia higiene mental y la de las personas con las que me tropiezo.

Our garden goes all arty!

aoradh — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 17:19:39 +0000

We have an annex to our house that we let out to folk from time to time. We have had some wonderful, interesting folk living there.

At the moment, we have to lads living in there who are in Dunoon to participate in a 'life college' that is run by some friends, Michaela and Juergen Kast (check out http://www.xpand.eu/uk/).

One of them is the very talented artist Marcel, from Switzerland, whose grafiti art is starting to make a bit of a splash...

We commissioned Marcel to do something to one of the walls of the house. He went through lots of options, before settling on this wonderful word HOPE.

Hope springs eternal.

Proverbs 13:12 Lost hope makes the heart sick, but longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

KAWS And “Everything Else”…

rawartint — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 16:16:22 +0000

“Everything Else,” a group show curated by CHRIS CHURCHILL at FRANKLIN PARRASCH GALLERY in NYC features the work of 16 artists but to be honest, it’s notable primarily for the inclusion of just one: the ever-elusive gallery ghost known as KAWS. Sidestepping the formal art world almost entirely in recent years, choosing instead to sell paintings—many of which were top flight large-scale works—directly to private collectors, the streetwear & collectibles phenomenon known to his parents as Brian Donnelley put the brakes on a formal art career primed for takeoff following his debut installation at Manhattan’s New Museum in 2000. Choosing instead to publicly focus on a burgeoning merchandise empire in recent years, his inclusion in this show (one submission includes his 4′ Companion figure but it’s always been more of a sculpture than a “toy” anyway) is particularly relevant as it marks an official return to the gallery world with several large shows currently in the works. Also included in this show, which seeks to examine why “things” get made and questions “what are the demands of a culture that prompts such production and how do the products of everyday life touch on the spiritual and the immaterial?,” are original artworks by Jason Adkins, Bryan Bowie, Anthony Campuzano, Jason Frazier, Misaki Kawai, Michael J. Kelly, Wook Kim, Wes Lang, Sandra Eula Lee, Rebecca Potts, George Stoll, Keith Tallett, Xavier Veilhan, Jocko Weyland, and Jesse Wine.

Take A Deep Breath opened this weekend at Carmichael Gallery, featuring work by Asbestos, Cherri Wood, The Dark, Kngee and the Israeli street artist Know Hope.

Dear God

roosandi — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 18:31:28 +0000

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah 

Dear God, the only thing I ask of you
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again oh no
Once again 

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
And all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah 

Dear God, the only thing I ask of you
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
When hope begins to fade

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love, purpose hard to find 

Dear God, the only thing I ask of you
Is to hold her when I'm not around, when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her and now I wish I'd stayed
Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired, I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Supreme who we all know to well and have had a strong threshold on the scene since their early days with their skateboarding roots. The list of names Supreme have worked with are like an A to Z of the most famed artist's around and this latest project with the author of the skateboarding book Disposable, Sean Cliver has reflected in his work with the culmination of two tees and two decks. The work provides some insane cartoon artwork which will suely be another saught after release from Supreme.
