Envelope #2

Here is the selection of photos I snipped from The Learning Annex

Envelope #2: "Awakening to Multi-Dimensional Realities"

"Awakening to Multi-Dimensional Realities" is the name of the piece that came from the Learning Annex. I see it as a love letter to San Francisco. It seems to me that there is both a juxtaposition and a correlation between (romance/sensuality) and (capitalism/desire). I love San Francisco, I think it is beautiful. I hate being sold "beautiful" things. But I would buy San Francisco. I resist the comodification of desire by cutting up free newspapers and using THEM to say things that I wouldn’t say

This one really sealed the deal on doing a third piece

Envelops 3 & 4"Down At Lulu's/Dreamdate Come Over Now"

This is the front of the third piece, collectively titled "Down at Lulu's/Dreamdate Come Over Now." As you can see this one takes up two envelopes. The top is "Down at Lulu's I/II" and the bottom is "Dreamdate Come Over Now II/II"

Front Close Up: "Down At Lulu's"

This panel features fantasy and warmth. The down home country diner motif, leave it to beaver Americana ("breakfast is on the table dear "*smile*) and the whimsical romance of far off lands. All fantasy, but happy fantasy.

Front Close Up: "Dreamdate Come Over Now"

I feel that this panel speaks to the maddening nature of afflictions induced by modern society, and how these impulses are represented and subdued, with a genesis in the realization that the "Down At Lulu's" picture of the world is a fiction. Ominous and foreboding filled with sadness, lonelyness and anxiety, preoccupation with death and violence arise as an equally fantastic countervalimg force. An inescapable result of the mechanization of warfare and the ever increasing dehumanization/insulation hoisted on us by use of systematic fear and separation from the circumstances under which we evolved. A breakdown in the family, a breakdown in the society and a breakdown in the mind.

"Down At Lulu's/Dreamdate Come Over Now" (Back)

Nowhere to run. The world in our near future is a bewildering and unsettling place. The destruction of meaning. We must fight against all that desire us to not think, all things that tell us our life is not valuable. After a final longing gasp meaning is supplanted but a meaningless and never ending buzz, chatter, a speck in the void. Frenetic, disjointed and apathetic. "I use the words you taught me. If they don't mean anything anymore, teach me others. Or let me be silent." - Samuel Beckett, Endgame. +Who doesn't like to see hot chicks kicking the crap out of zombies?
