Photos of ghosts


Modern art from recent history. Ghosts on print, Polaroid spirits. History: that thing we create every day but only recognize when other people tell us about their version of it. What they saw, felt, maybe even did and we nod and play along. It sounds kinda familiar so it must be right. Some people even take photographs, this creates history immediately but in order to become "proper" history those photographs need to be published or exhibited. Black and white renditions are most effective here, they evoke the past in all it's veiled mystery. This usually happens when the photographer is conveniently dead. This blurs any proper meaning and allows others to decide what might have been going on and what the picture is actually about. Ultimately history is about the dislocation of past and present and the dysfunction of memory and meaning so as to create a fictional past that serves the writer's best interests. It's much more convenient this way, also PhDs can be written, papers and diaries, books and documentaries, while the dead sleep a) in death or b) as images in photographs. That's just how it is and none of us will ever know the truth.



Rainhead


Rainhead, raintown, raincountry, raincontinent, rainworld, rain universe. Well not exactly but it sometimes seems way when you've the snuffles, the sneezes and it's raining most of the day.

Medieval Music 2


So, in a bid to break my listening patterns (for the better) I spent the afternoon driving out to St Andrews listening to more medieval music (the tunes are all very short and kind of clipped). The theory being it's a purge for my listening system (ears) and habits that might remove the scars from the sycophantic afternoon pap on most talk radio and the dreary music elsewhere out on the daytime "music" spectrum. Well of course a lot of medieval music is dreary too, kind of tuneless, modal and simple but in it's day it delighted the crowned heads of Europe and provided a backdrop to courtly ceremony and gatherings. It's really strange to think about that and how it must have all been, scratchy and wooden. Like having bad buskers practicing in your house whilst complete strangers came and went, quaffing your ale and stealing your sheep. But there is something nice about it, something raw, clumsy and very human (as human as you can be whilst the royal court looks on). These guys were doing their level best to entertain and also avoid disapproval and who knows what as a punishment. You can sense that they'd like to add fun to the mix but at the same time not cause offence or an upset. It's strained and all a bit tense. At any moment the Spanish Inquisition might well burst in and fracture your lute, poke you with your flute and then cast you into a pit with irons around your ankles. All for a bum note or a burst string that can't be fixed until you kill a passing cat. Then there's the general disapproval of the mighty church and it's officials  to contend with. Tough gig.

Medieval


Everything's gone medieval these days, or at least it's headed that way. Forget civilization and the renaissance, forget science and progress, forget listening and being reasonable. We're back to wooden heads and wooden music in a pre-enlightenment loop. "Burn down the ballot boxes and hang the reasonable people" say the disagreeable people. Well the wooden music's OK, the wooden headedness takes a bit more getting used to. I liked it better when there was a bit more tolerance and democracy, less arguments about vaccinations and indicative votes and sugar was a reasonable enough ingredient. It only seems like yesterday, now nobody can agree about anything (not sure when people actually agreed about stuff but it must've happened at one time in recent history). Yesterday everything also turned into April, didn't see that coming.

Here's why...


...there's more than a few problems in Scottish football. Firstly the guy that throws the punch doesn't get sent off there and then (or arrested) and the guy that took the punch is an infamous wind up merchant who goads the (stupidly dumb) opposition until they crack. He then plays the victim. Actually I take all that back, this is in fact a sophisticated populist drama, as written by William Shakespeare and illustrated by Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko back in the golden days of Marvel Comics. As you were; it's high art, we're all just watching it in the wrong venue and viewing through the wrong medium.

Big Issue: Killer Bunnies


In the case of this post the title is even more irrelevant than usual. Big Issue? Killer Bunnies? I just liked the way the words meshed, the usual story. Interesting titles don't make for interesting blog reading and, I'm pretty clear on this, this isn't all that interesting reading. Basically it's an experiment in art and drivel that began many years ago and has run, sporadically and inconsistently since. It's a strange compulsion, a cathartic exercise in the recording of the important and the absurd, in no particular order. The Big Issue cover is there because a) I just bought one and b) the artist himself congratulated me on my purchase.


This of course brings me on to the depiction of "killer bunnies" in medieval artwork, it was a thing then, nobody is quite sure why. They appear as doodles and pre-cartoon cartoons in the margins of manuscripts. Perhaps it was simply for comedic effect. For some reason the art world has chosen not to repeat it despite the many circles and cycles of creativity that have wormed their way around our universe. Maybe it's the next big thing. Patreons look out.

Daft bikes in gardens



Odd urban artworks: Why do people put home made "arty" bike things up in their gardens? Asking for a friend.

Remains of the day


The broken concrete and stone skeleton of the old tidal swimming pool at Pittenweem, Fife. Obviously abandoned for some time but strangely it probably wouldn't take much to get it back in order. Sea water swimming is popular here and there (not with me) and it could be done safely (?) in this pool, for kids mostly. Anyway it won't happen. I did like to imagine how it might have been with seats, boards and steps, an ice cream booth and some primitive changing areas, back in the day this was all a big deal around the coastal towns. Maybe Brexit stay-cations will bring some of these places back, but only for the brave.

A few minutes after wandering past this pool I bumped into local lad Phil Jupitus and had a brief chat, mostly reminding him of our glorious victory in the "Rip it up" Pop Quiz late last year. Funnily enough he was busy making up arty prints from card and seaweed. Who knew that this was a thing?
