Llbwwb: Albino Grey Squirrel By Peter Trimming

On Surreal Sunday remote landscapes in Norway are illuminated by the dreamlike installations created by Norwegian artist Rune Guneriussen, who uses desk, wall, and table lamps to illuminate individual trees, sections of forest, and other rural areas.

“It is not as much photography as it is about sculpture and installation,” says Guneriussen in an artist statement. “…This process involves the object, story, space and most important the time it is made within. It is an approach to the balance between nature and human culture, and all the sublevels of our own existence.”

Visit Rune Guneriussen’s website or Facebook page to check out more of his artwork, including installations created using books and other everyday objects.

Sue Austin - Creating the Spectacle (2012)

As part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad, performance and installation artist Sue Austin created this series in which she—in her self-propelled underwater wheelchair—explored the magnificence of the underwater world, aiming to generate a widespread public debate about the nature and value of contemporary arts practice shaped by the experience of disability.

Artist’s statement: 

“My studio practice has, for sometime, centred around finding ways to understand and represent my embodied experience as a wheelchair user, opening up profound issues about methods of self-representation and the power of self-narration in challenging the nexus of power and control that created the ‘disabled’ as other.”

Windows of the World: Free the Wind

When the windows of the world are blown open

Will we see the hearts of the world

Held behind smoky glass

Who is alive who can hear

The wind in the mountains

Eagles soaring above the peaks?

Windows blown open let the world in

Looking into your eyes

I see the child within

Come out to play I say

Let in the light of day

Throw open the windows

Open Letter in Support of Pussy_Riot & Mother Mary, from #Orwellian America

 Putin & Russia's Orthodox Patriarchy have misjudged the power of radical prayer. 

 The Kremlin may have won their "Hooligan" Kafka-court punishment, but have lost their place in history (& her-story!). From now on, they will remain the anti-Pussy men, fearing & beating down 3 grrrl artists & mothers. Heavenly news, theocrats & thugs of Russia: Mother Mary has heard their dramatic prayer! Never forget: Our Goddess gave birth to your God.

 "Hooliganism" & "hate of religon" does not fit the alleged "crime" the entire world has witnessed. We see performance artists-musicians-actors, same as Björk, Kerli, Nikki Minaj, Madonna or Lady Gaga. It's A PERFORMANCE... yet in this case it's an actual prayer ceremony too. 

 We see young women crying out to Mother Mary for relief & salvation. Begging for salvation from a century of cryptocratic patriarchal spies, warmongers & mobsters. Just as the whole world is crying out: for an end to the war, the greed & the madness. Just as Jesus was. Crying out. "Please God!"

 Your ruling class & religious "Authority" has exposed itself (once again), to the entire world in a new communications age- your old-fashioned absurdity, pettiness & willingness to torture dissident artists. 

 And please explain, where is Christ's forgiveness, His love, His reaching out & protecting women? Instead we see the same Pharisee order who hung Jesus on as cross to "uphold Roman Law." 

 Practically & legally speaking, your State-enforced "hooliganism" charge is these women occupied your altar for a short time. And sang a dramatic prayer. Where is the crime? 

 Tragically, once again big criminals saunter away with pockets jingling while protestors are locked away for protesting the biggest criminals of all, the war makers, the drug sellers, the arms dealers, the torturers, the assassins. What does Russian Patriarchy have to say for the military-spy state? Or is it vice-versa? Let's ask Mr. Kafka... or Mr. Marx?

 2 years in a Russian penal colony? The world will be saying: Putin is another Stalin now- a humorless ℱᶸᶜᵏᵧₒᵤ bully who puts musicians & poets into gulags. He tears mothers from their children, attempting to dehumanize them. What a weak system that must be, a sorry excuse for tyrannical one-man rule. All the while supporting that petty, violent criminal regime in Syria, as they slaughter entire villages.

 We are all so damned tired of bullying men forcing themselves on top of us! Truncheoning & jack-booting truth & creativitydown into a dark, violent hole in their fucked-up hell. Cheaters, liars, con-men & spies have been ruling our fucked-up world, the same war-mongering a$$holes, for what- 3 or 4 "World Wars" now? Literally- "Mother-fucker-uppers." For too many centuries now... "Holy Mary, deliver us from Evil!"

<3 V for Bend Data o_O SAVE EARTH! ☮

 Shouts out to all riot grrrls, all Anons, all Occupy, all rockers & punks, all lovers of art & revolution: 

Wear your Pussy Riot holy caps wherever these patriarchs dare to go! Pound the drum & pray to Holy Mary for relief! 

 We will all be Pussy_Riot now, wherever Putin dares to show his shameful face.

 "Our Goddess gave birth to your Church!" 

 "Dear God, Deliver us from Putin; Holy Mary, save us from the anti-Pussy men!"

Activate: <3 @Pussy_Riot lovers: Use the artistic strategy of sending each sister post cards, as often as possible. Adopt them. Know where they are, until they are free. Show them how important they are. 

Creatively challenge the cracks in the prison walls. Check Amnesty's network for addresses. Postcard avalanche! It works.
