Guido,

The honor is inexplicable.

Beyond words,

Kerri

Woman caught between rocks and trees

Dedicated to Kerri Pullo and Simonne Pauwels

She eats a sandwich made of stolen sea food

Worms in driftwood wanna speak to you,

she says with a swift waitress voice

to the smallest sea coast she ever saw.

In the bedroom he plays Bach because

nobody else will warm these sheets of music.

She wears an angel on her hat, goes thru his head,

because her heart swims with the dreams of disappearing fish.

I’ve buried my eyes under the giant roots of trees,

they are almost a thousand years old, he tries to explain in vain.

I’ve buried mine in rocks, she simply sings

with a seductive mermaid voice to make peace between them

as soft as possible and as understanding as the sounds of spoon and room.

He acts with hidden words instead of uncovered leaves:

I did not know rocks were almost mirrors in the golden sun!

This sentence feels quite like a quiet kiss of autumn on my lips,

such an aria and echo of her soul looking for the holes in bones.

He simply smiles.

She takes one of the rocks to show him it smiles back

Waves intervene in the debate

Wonder how to show them how to really kiss

How to kiss their naked bodies without drowning

both of them at once

How to breathe like these yielding trees near the beach,

this beach were both of them were born in different decades.

LET US REBEL IN THE NAME OF TREES !!!

 

AFTER ANN LET US REBEL REBEL

The deadline for The book of ANN (Friour project 12) is 31 December 2011.

The past year was great on a MAIL ART and KITTY level, so THANX to all who contributed and exchanged art and ideas.

I now present the successor for 2012 and already email my season greetings to YOU ALL.

FRIOUR project 13 is on rebellion, contestation, protest in all its meanings: artistic, political, social, cultural, historical and present ones.

I dedicate this 2012 project to all mail artists who have told me they like my art but PLEASE Guido stay away from politics! They are forgetting that all the great art movements of the modernist past (Dada, Surrealism, Cobra, Situationism) were involved in attempts to change society. So REBEL REBEL aka the essence of art expressions by artists living in society, rooted in all the social and cultural contradictions of the world. Because after all it is not only Wall street we need to occupy because the public domain is our space. Reclaim the streets indeed!!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE, TO THE ANIMALS, TO THE TREES AND TO THE ASTONISHING STONES OF OUR UNIVERSE (it is OUR universe: not belonging to banks, corporations, dictators, the state, the police or other self proclaimed authorities: we are the world, the world are we, so REBEL REBEL till you drop, don’t shop, burn all billboards down, spit on your local flag and embrace humanity as a whole, for XXX sake, REBEL REBEL till the end of time, REBEL against death and REBEL against the way we live or against those who impose us how to live.

Take responsibilty of your own life and destinity, this means also taking responsibility of our planet and existence in our own hands. Don’t depend of power, create your own power, or refute power altogether!

FREE SIZE AND MEDIUM

Deadline: 31 December 2012

All contributions will be published on the blog: http://rebelrebelmovementsofcontestation.blogspot.com
