yellow a mere fraction of the color code across the sky
in tandem neighbors riding on blacktop toward a place we did not know
the drapes helped life be inexactly rendered and received
as much the grotto as this hesitation
staying power yes and the reverse inbred in me
the upper registers of treble clef plus flesh capped open holes in sterling
plural leaves exponentially made safe the yard from earth

Essay - "Pandoras box"// A List...
I read this essay on www.AllFreeEssays.net and I liked it so much that I thought I'd link to it here
There's quite a few essays like this being banded about the internet these days, and most of them I like. Not by me, it's signed by an anonymous student - although in the comments section (bottom of page) there is some disagreement about this! You can see my comment on the comments section as well.
I'm going to make a brief list that, hopefully will prove informative to critics/artists (more to the former than the latter I believe) when one considers art today.
- Postmodernism is not an art movement, it is a temporary sense of stasis and reflection. This reflection will lead to a rejection of many Western values and established modes of thought.
- Modernism did not experiment with art-forms in every possible way, as is often stated. Within the context of the times that "Modernism" functioned, it experimented in many ways. However, as times change, institutions and modes of thought change, Modernism's experiments will eventually seem somewhat limiting and irrelevant, to the times when it was functioning.
- Art is returning to the people. Indeed, it may be more accurate to state that the arts are returning to the people. The social hierachies in Western countries ( see Derrida's Ecriture) are becoming more and more irrelevant. The majority of people living in Western countries can read and write and carry out basic arithmetic. The great advantage of being able to read and write (and its associated cultural status) is now the advantage of the majority.
- Multiculturalism. How can Western countries absorb people from different cultures and keep
unchanged Western value systems? Currently, in the UK the labour government that is in power, promotes cultural diversity, yet at the very heart of its government it cannot accept this diversity. This is because the systems that keep the UK government in place would collapse if cultural diversity became intrinsic to the UK. This paradox can be described as "hypereal" (Derrida). It can also be seen as a worthwhile attempt by labour to accept multiculturalism, that ended in stifling beaurocracy that represents the inability for the UK to change, at its most powerful institutions. Ultimately, this reveals an extension of the already manifest condition of New Labour as a party of soundbites over substance. The arts, of course, are addressing this, making fluid the cross-polination of differing cultures. Without activities such as the arts and sport, the uniting, celebration and, ultimately the acceptance of diversity would be a near impossible task.
as yet unfinished....

looking back
I would have washed the damages away
I would have rendered the repairs
I would have limbered every tendency
I would have covered you at night
I would have shared my place with you
I would have watched the lake
I would have combed the surface of the water
I would have held our space
I would have entertained the mint new fields
I would have built a fire
I would have liked the warmth of you beside it
I would have listened to the sky
I would have rinsed the earth replete with lush wide leaves
I would have simmered happiness and grown it new
I would have happened upon elements that lit ideas
I would have jimmied locks that hampered heaven in my midst
I would have drained the fear away that we have shared
I would have opened every morsel of the heart living between us
I would have rendered the repairs
I would have limbered every tendency
I would have covered you at night
I would have shared my place with you
I would have watched the lake
I would have combed the surface of the water
I would have held our space
I would have entertained the mint new fields

I love my work
my work is love

I love you and I love the work

with pleasure of the living

repeatedly arriving
hitched to prior present tense
a separate moment
planned and found this living
thinking of the living
breathing living
working playing

Academia is a huge problem in the west. Now, business-led, funded (mainly) by a government (in UK) that continues to (or attempts to) privatise industry and public services, academic study is a means to an end. Gone are the principle acquisitions of enquiry; creative thought, critical thought, curiosity, idea generation and critical debate/discussion. Instead, our academic institutions breed intellectually deprived students, swallowing and regurgitating an overload of information, graded by their ability to memorise and thoughtlessly spew forth huge texts of, at times irrelevant information.
We are not creating the thinkers of the future. We are rehashing tired theory and spurious fact, so how can people comprehend today and adjust their ideas to cope with tomorrow?

everlasting. when light emits
an inner steadiness, all cells

if conducive, membranes limn their way forward,

Now is haste combined with fact,
