Ma participation au webzine Rouge, à l'initiative de Valentin Morice ! Je ne sais pas si je vais beaucoup poster avant la rentrée, j'ai un peu de boulot préparatoire. J'entre en hypokhâgne à Janson de Sailly (oui, la montée parisienne du jeune provincial, qu'est-ce que je vous disais sur les topoï littéraires qui envahissent la vie), alors beaucoup moins de temps pour le dessin. xxx
"You are the New Americans.
The homeless are wandering
the streets of our nation’s
greatest city. Homeless
men with AIDS are among
them. Is that right?
That there are no homes
for the homeless, that
there is no free medical
help for these men. And women.
That they get the message
—as they are dying—
that this is not their home?
And how are your
teeth today? Can
you afford to fix them?
How high is your rent?
If art is the highest
and most honest form
of communication of
our times and the young
artist is no longer able
to move here to speak
to her time…Yes, I could,
but that was 15 years ago
and remember—as I must
I am a Kennedy.
Shouldn’t we all be Kennedys?
This nation’s greatest city
is home of the business-
man and home of the
rich artist. People with
beautiful teeth who are not
on the streets. What shall
we do about this dilemma?
Listen, I have been educated.
I have learned about Western
Civilization. Do you know
what the message of Western
Civilization is? I am alone."
Eileen Myles, An American Poem.
"I leave the number and a short message on every green Volvo in town
Is anything wrong? I miss you. 574-7423
The phone rings constantly. One says, Are you bald? Another, How tall are you in your stocking feet?
Most just reply, Nothing’s wrong. I miss you, too."
Un truc inspiré de La nuit juste avant les forêts de Bernard-Marie Koltès.
Un portrait de Marsha P. Johnson, une figure super importante des Stonewall Riots (qui sont un peu le début du militantisme lgbt), parce que le futur film "Stonewall" a l'air d'être un concentré de whitewashing, et de survoler la participation des activistes transgenre.
J'ai des planches à vous montrer, mais je ne peux pas les poster avant quelques jours. soon!!
