Anew No Poetry For U: The Real Outside

Much of the original format of this small, dessicated sack of Internet consisted of a stringing of interesting articles, poems, images, and flicks that I encountered or wanted to store in hard memory--what I really want to do is write a more formal organum based on my former material, mainly a collection of odds (with no ends) in the world of outsider art, literature, and experience with some of my commentary. That is, my main interest encompasses people who are creating interesting material even though they are outside the margins of art or society. These include: ()the mentally ill, the ()cognitively different, ()convicts and prisoners, ()folk or naive artist, and to a smaller degree the ()politically shunned (feminists, eco-activists, etc): including artists who were inspired by the works and ideas of outsiders (de-focusing painting, since it is so widespread).

I will slowly and methodically extinct the former material which does not mesh once this white corner of Internet mulch is replaced by a more harmonic repertoire of nick-knacks, a collection of jars.

Consider this "Under Construction" noisy, obstructive, and soon to be polished.

The best way to navigate through this material is to select a topic or tag and view the elements contained within. You can also relax and simply click on the "next" button at the end of the featured post.

Frank Film (1973)



i watched frank film with a silk eardrum. the two voices tell simultaneous realities, one is autobiographical, the other lists words that start with the letter 'f.' the collage style burgeons both sound and image. it is a quick flicker of human memory in successive, stream of consciousness progression.

and they call me Alice...

I've noticed that Svankmajer's Alice has received a significant amount of hits at YouTube now that Tim Burton's fiasco has been unleashed. May this make you rage or wonder. We're all mad here.



Alice has already been gracefully translated to film for a first time in 1903:




And let us not forget to mention one of the most controversial renditions of the beloved children's book, Alice in Wonderland: An X Rated Musical Fantasy.

Time Transfixed


A train has been caught emerging from the chimney. And perhaps it has been paused at the moment when the train, which we do not perceive because we are away from home at it's usual 12:44, was punctually and most hastily making its route through our living room.

Axel Erlandson's Tree Circus


Erlandson dedicated his life to gently leading these trees into a natural artwork. He pushed the boundaries of what we perceive as a viable (dead) medium into a living medium.

The Death of Socrates, Jacques-Louis David

This painting nearly made me cry in person. Notice the man down the hall who is staring straight at you as if he is greeting you.


"This indictment and affidavit is sworn by Meletus, the son of Meletus of Pitthos, against Socrates, the son of Sophroniscus of Alopece: Socrates is guilty of refusing to recognize the gods recognized by the state, and of introducing new divinities. He is also guilty of corrupting the youth. The penalty demanded is death."

Marcel Duchamp was a victim of chess.

"Chess can be described as the movement of pieces eating one another."

"I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art - and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position."
