Walker Art Center presents Yves Klein, e-flux


December issue of Un<>Cut now available

Hi everyone -

Just wanted to let you know that the December issue of my magazine "Un<>Cut" is now available for sale at the following link:

http://www.magcloud.com/browse/Issue/135451

Please take a moment to preview this issue as I think you'll enjoy the work of printmaker Yvonette.z from China, collage artist Charles Farrell of Maine, and New York author Elizabeth Dembrowsky's excerpt from her novel, "my monk: A Typographic Novel". On the inside front cover is the poem, "Learning to Melt" by Robert Keegan Walker (UK). Robert's poetry was featured in our July 2010 issue.

I really think this is the best issue we've published (52 pages!) -- and between now and the end of December, you can get this issue at 50% OFF. Shipping costs are very reasonable at MagCloud.

I appreciate your interest and hope you'll buy a copy!

'Dhaka-Kathmandu Art Fusion' Invitation

CAVELLINI - FLUXIT


Screening and Discussion: "The Century of the Self" (Friday, December 10 at the New School)



Dear friends of Cabinet,

Please join us for a screening and discussion of The Century of the Self with George Prochnik and Martin Bergmann

Date: Friday, December 10, 2010, 8 pm
Location: The New School Theresa Lang Community and Student Center, Arnhold Hall, 2nd Floor, 55 W 13th St, New York (map here)
FREE. No RSVP necessary.
A co-presentation with the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis & the New School

Cabinet, The National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis, and the New School present a screening of "There Is a Policeman Inside All Our Heads: He Must Be Destroyed" and "Eight People Sipping Wine in Kettering," parts 3 and 4 of The Century of the Self, the extraordinary BBC documentary on the intertwined histories of Sigmund Freud, modern consumerism, and representative democracy. At its heart is the idea that public relations and politicians have used Freud's theories to engineer a society of consent.

The screening will be preceded by an introduction by George Prochnik, Cabinet contributor and author of Putnam Camp: Sigmund Freud, James Jackson Putnam, and the Purpose of American Psychology (2006) and In Pursuit of Silence: Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise (2010). It will be followed by an open discussion with psychoanalyst Martin Bergmann, who is a participant in the documentary.

Please note: Parts one and two of the documentary ("Happiness Machine" and "The Engineering of Consent,") were screened on November 12, with a short introduction by Jane Kupersmidt, faculty at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis and member of the Freudian Society. A transcript of the introduction is available here. The first two parts of the The Century of the Self can be seen online here.

news from DB Chirot

http://poemsandpoetics.blogspot.com/

Jerome Rothenberg has been publishing some pieces of mine through time at his blog, towards an anthology of "Outsider" poems & poetics
this anthology is part of the ongoing multi-prize winning series POEMS FOR THE MILLENNIUM--
the first two volumes are the best and by far largest ever anthology of "avant-garde" poetry and prose of the twentieth century from around the world
volume three an amazing re-reading of Romanticism with again an immense collection of international work often hard to find in english language as well as the famous Romantics and their legacies--
for Thanksgiving Day he published part one of a fictional/critical (writing re writing) piece in the ongoing series of el colonel pieces-
yesterday appeared Part One of the piece; the second two parts to follow with also a note and links re el colonel

i copied for Jerome Rothenberg the following bibliography of the series that has appeared so far on line: see the attachment--
also attached a painting of el colonel's "homenaje por robetrt bolano

SPAZIO ANNA BREDA - Opening


Informazione: Ore 21 presentazione ufficiale a Millesimo

Mi permetto di comunicare alle SV Illustrissime
che questa sera alle ore 21, neve permettendo,
si presenterà a Millesimo,
presso la Sala Consigliare del Palazzo Civico,
il libro sul Risorgimento italiano:
"SPECCHI ELIODORO A MILLESIMO" di Bruno Chiarlone.

Il libro ha il patrocinio del Museo del Risorgimento di Bologna,
oltre a quello del GRIFL, della SOAMS, dell'Istituto Comprensivo Scolastico di Millesimo,
del Comune di Cairo Montenotte e del Comitato Celebrazioni per G.C.Abba,
del Comune di Millesimo.

Saranno presenti, tra gli altri, il sindaco Mauro Righello,
il presidente della SOAMS Luigi Ferrando,
il Direttore dell'Istituto Comprensivo "Lele Luzzati" di Millesimo, prof. Raviolo,
l'autore della ricerca storica Bruno Chiarlone
oltre ai ragazzi delle Scuole Medie e la popolazione.

Mi duole segnalare il silenzio stampa ( e non è la prima volta nei miei confronti)
delle testate giornalistiche locali
LA STAMPA e IL SECOLO XIX,
la loro scarsa attenzione e la superficialità
nel trattare le notizie di cultura locale
e nazionale dell'Italia come in questo caso.

Non vorrei che noi lettori della Val Bormida
incominciassimo a mettere
in pratica il consiglio "autorevole" del Capo del Governo
che invita a non leggere più i giornali.

Con ossequio,

Bruno Chiarlone
