Artists are Super-Sneaky Fuckers Justin Clemens

About a decade ago, I was talking to my friend David about why some women seem to prefer clearly untrustworthy men for their sexual relationships. After all, it wasn’t that the particular women we were discussing had been legitimately confused about their choices. Even if they later denied that they had ever been aware that their husband or boyfriend was a ‘lying scumbag’ — and I quote — this actually wasn’t the case.

They had incontrovertibly known it all along, not least because it had been liberally pointed out to them by all their friends. Nor was it simply that they’d known and lied to themselves, or known and hoped for the best.

As far as anybody could see, they’d known — and they’d liked it.

David had been a serious mathematician before giving it up to study literature, before, being bored in turn by that, teaching statistics at a university, before finally getting a job as a computer analyst at a corporation retailing traffic-planning software to government. He started to tell me about ‘the sneaky fucker thesis,’ allegedly the brainchild of none other than the famed biologist and atheist Richard Dawkins and his colleague John Krebs.This ‘thesis’ purports to explain why the situation David and I had been discussing is more than merely unscientific, anecdotal, gossip.

from the accursed periphery rush in.While the alpha-males are biffing each other happily, these so-called ‘sneaky fuckers’ quickly mate with the females and scurry away again before the big seals cotton onto what’s happening. So it’s not the alphas who are doing the real breeding — though it may look that way to an idle or ignorant glance.

‘So, why do women like sneaky fuckers?’

David asked, ‘Because their real father was a sneaky fucker, and his real father was a sneaky fucker before him, and so on. All the evidence suggests that a shocking proportion of children have a real father, different from the father that they think is theirs! So, though women may not know it, that’s why they still prefer it!’ If the kingdom of appearances is governed by sound and fury, what really happens is being driven by sneaky fuckers and their paramours. The world is noisy — but seals are sneaky.

The sneaky fucker thesis has been further applied to suggest that there are possible genetic bases One version of this thesis cashes out as follows: for all sorts of behaviours. Personally, I think the take sexual competition among animals, say, seals. theory stinks as science — even if we could agree The dominant bull seal rules his harem to such an that biology is really a science, which maybe isn’t extent that he is the only male seal in the area to as certain as biologists might like to claim — but enjoy sex with these females. He is often known I think it says quite a lot about art. Practically, it by the appealing moniker of ‘the beachmaster.’ So explains nothing; or, rather, it purports to explain far, so good (naturalistically speaking of course). certain contemporary cultural phenomena This is where the sneaky fucker comes in. It turns by means of an outrageous fantasy projection out that the dominant male is constantly having onto an imagined prehistory.The real sneaky to defend his position by fighting off challenges fuckers in this regard may well be the ‘scientists’ from other would-be dominant males. Outside themselves, blaming the poor animals for their the charmed circle linger the subordinate male own dirty routines. But that already makes such seals, waiting for a fight to break out. A challenge propositions a kind of art, or at least brings the is made; the bulls start to roar and clash; heavy whole approach into the charmed circle of art, blubber ripples with testosterone-fuelled for which ‘fantasy projections onto imagined aggression.At that moment, all the little guys prehistories’ is a staple operation. >>

Of course, even if it’s the sneaky fuckers who seem to be the true kings and queens in the realm of sexuality, no biologist these days would make the sneaky fuckers themselves the real agents of the drama. No, it’s the genes, stupid, the truest, sneakiest, sneaky fuckers of them all, whose only ‘desire’ — if such language even makes sense in the context — is to get themselves replicated. Sex itself is just a particularly inventive way for asexual replicators to replicate. In fact, in the realm

of reproduction — that is, of creation, transmission, and encounters — sneakiness evidently has a number of extraordinary evolutionary benefits.The most recent scientific research even suggests that the merging of two sets of genomes gives sexual creatures an edge in the endless, ferocious war against parasitical infection. If anything like ‘ethics’ exists, it’s pretty clear that sex has nothing to do with it; in the relentless natural war of all against all, sneaky sex really is the bomb. >>

Art is full of super-sneaky fuckers, if we take ‘super’ here as at once an intensifier (moresneaky), an overgoing (more-than-sneaky), and an acclamation (they’re super!). It’s so super-sneaky, in fact, that it sometimes even purports to reveal to you truths about the sneakiness of others that you otherwise would never get. And it can do so in such a way to be simultaneously seductive and upsetting, that is, super-sneakily.

Catherine Bell’s Nanny Safari is a case in point.

As you nestle down on the artificial grass, to watch the black nannies at play in New York’s Central Park with their little white charges, you might spare a thought for the difficulties of filming this at all. These days any unauthorised filming of people is in general considered an affront, an abuse of personal privacy; even worse, unauthorised filming of children is anathema, unable to evade connotations of perversion. What, then, could justify such a project? Is this an anthropology, in which a foreigner observes the strange behaviours of the natives? If so, hasn’t such a pursuit been irrevocably compromised by its colonial heritage, with its implications of invasion and exploitation? Or is this a sociology, a form of self-observation, in which the political, economic, and racial situation of a particular urban community is examined for the purposes of understanding? Perhaps, but not quite: the artist is not an American, an African-American, nor a child, nor a mother, nor a nanny (although she used to be), nor a trained sociologist. It is not sociological knowledge that she is after. Or is it a kind of nature documentary? An even more shocking implication: that a human is observing the lives of animals, the merely natural world. Or is it a form of social surveillance, in the service of state operations of ‘observing and punishing’?

Or of the private eye, working secretly on behalf of the parents who are paying to have their children looked after, and the nannies themselves monitored? Perhaps, as Bell herself proposes, it’s simply a contemporary avatar of

Georges Seurat’s pointillist depictions of the Sunday ballades in nineteenth-century French parks? Or is that description itself just an alibi for a singular exhibitionist voyeurism? Too soon to say, I think.

Chris Bell’s sneakiness, in contrast, is dedicated to sexual-economic mappings of urban spaces.These days, everybody hates ‘The Banks’ (definite article, capitalised), although it’s impossible not to rely on them: for most occupations, you can now only be paid electronically into an official bank account, and the bank then charges you for your own use of your own money, in many different ways. Banks even have special working groups dedicated to dreaming up new charges for their customers, tracking them relentlessly to their most minimal transactions. Bell takes up the challenge, literally drawing upon the new public accessibility of information, from Google maps to printed bank receipts, casting haphazard sadomasochistic constellations as the horoscopes of the 21st century. People should no longer think that they are born ‘under the sign of Scorpio,’ or have ‘Venus rising’ in their charts; rather, they are born ‘under the sign of NAB’ or with ‘Macdonalds rising.’ But that’s not all. Samuel Beckett’s first published poem was titled Whoroscope, and similar connotations are also at play here. A horoscope is at once fiscal promiscuity — you’ll fuck anybody who falls under that sign for money — and cosmic cruelty — you’ll fuck anybody who falls under that sign for money.

Jecca, the shadowy Director of the Stealth Art collective, creates a different sort of figure for the artist. Unlike Catherine Bell, she is not an urban pointillist on a nanny safari; unlike Chris Bell, she is not an astrologist of the urbo-economic quotidian. She is rather more like Francis Walsingham, Queen Elizabeth I’s notorious spymaster, whose intelligence tentacles infiltrated the most unlikely places, the high and the low, the near and the far. A director, but also a recruiter. >> (continued on page 60)

DATELINE: AUGUST 2011

Modern cities are multi-faceted beasts.

By definition they must attract business and trade to thrive, and trade naturally suggests the exchange of products and services from non-native cultures, which in turn influence the dominant culture, rendering it cosmopolitan. (“adj. 1 a of or from or knowing many parts of the world.” - Concise Oxford Dictionary) For many artists this desynonymisation provides inspiration beyond measure, and thus through every important period in the history of art runs the story of the city in which that art was developed.

The title of the exhibition just opened at the Art Gallery of New South Wales – The mad square – is drawn from Felix Nussbaum’s painting The Fantastic Square (The Parisian Square) (1931), which depicts Berlin’s famous city square Pariser Platz as a crazy and fantastic place. ‘The mad square’ is both a place – the city of Berlin as it was in the early twentieth century – and a state of mind, which lends to these works an edgy quality.

“The sheer forcefulness and directness of many of the works in this exhibition stems from the tension that is created by representing a view of modernity that was hopeful, dynamic and vibrant on one hand but dysfunctional and vulnerable on the other,” says Jacqueline Strecker, the exhibition’s curator.

Beginning with Expressionists’s visions of a world on the brink of an apocalypse, the exhibition explores the cathartic effects of the World War I. War is portrayed as a dynamic, modern force but also one which tears society apart, creating fear, anxiety and violence. This mood of social and political turbulence continues in works produced during the revolutionary period 1918–19, when artists addressed political and social issues >

> with a heightened sense of urgency. Major works by Max Beckmann show how political extremism invaded every aspect of life.

The various manifestations of Dada in Germany are presented through the work of Christian Schad, Kurt Schwitters and Max Ernst. The exhibition highlights the provocative First International Dada Fair held in Berlin in 1920 which included many photo-montages as well as Dada publications. The legacy of innovation left by the Bauhaus on 20th-century art, design and culture is also explored through significant pieces such as Wagenfeld and Jucker’s Table lamp 1923–24 and Marcel Breuer’s Club chair c1928–-29. Other works show the move from early handcrafted objects to more streamlined, mass-produced furniture and designs for which the Bauhaus is most renowned. The metropolis provided a rich source of imagery for artists. Many views of Berlin in the 1920s focused on leisure, entertainment and the city at night, including Berlin’s seedy underbelly. A group of realist portraits demonstrate the mid 1920s movement that is known as Neue Sachlichkeit or New Objectivity.

The exhibition concludes with a section on art and power in the 1930s, focusing on the rise of Fascism and the disastrous consequences for modern art in Germany.

After the seizure of power by Hitler in 1933, modern artists were forbidden to work or exhibit, their works were confiscated from leading museums and then destroyed or sold cheaply at auction. The 1937 Degenerate art exhibition in Munich was the most notorious example of the Nazis’ campaign against modernism. A number of works that were exhibited together with documentary photographs are included to highlight the great creativity and stylistic diversity of modernism in opposition to the derogatory ways in which the Nazis sought to ridicule and destroy modern art.

Next on the list is another biggie – The Sydney Fringe is back, having launched on 4 August ‘with avengeance!’ Following last year’s successful debut, the Fringe will be returning next month over 24 days, 65 venues, 250 events and more than 1,000 performances.

The main event will still call Newtown home, with the new Fringe Club, Five Eliza located at the beautiful School of Arts Ballroom, 5 Eliza Street, behind the Zanzibar Hotel. The ballroom will be transformed to re-imagine one of Sydney’s hidden gems in the heart of Newtown and create a cosy speakeasy lounge, where one may discuss the benefits (or not) of Otto Dix’s caricatures over Schad’s photorealism in revealing aspects of the sitter’s personality, to one’s little heart’s content.

In addition this year the Fringe will be forging out across Sydney, with new precincts in Leichhardt, Parramatta, Chatswood, Darlinghurst’s Oxford Street and the city.

With a few weeks left to the start you might want to check out the free FringeMates membership card that offers special offers and discounts at participating bars, restaurants and businesses. You can sign up online for those, where the full program is also available.

DATELINE: AUGUST 2011

by Courtney Symes

I was in a café a couple of Fridays ago when I heard the distinctive intro to The Cure’s Friday I’m in Love. Like a familiar old friend, the tune prompted a smile and a stream of happy memories - some songs never dull with time. The same can be said about certain art movements, such as Vienna’s art and design revolution in the early 1900s. Despite their popularity over a century ago, the unique and innovative pieces featured in the National Gallery of Victoria’s Vienna: Art & Design exhibition still hold their own today. In the same way that memorable tunes never die, exceptional art and design will also endure the test of time.

If you missed Inga Walton’s intriguing article, Gustav Klimt: the world in female form in Trouble’s June issue, this is a reminder to check out NGV’s unmissable Vienna: Art & Design exhibition before 9 October. Just over a century ago,Vienna was a crucible brimming with artists, architects, designers, musicians and other creative types who were all pushing the boundaries of modernism. Big names, such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Adolf Loos, Josef Hoffmann and others blazed the trail in a new direction away from traditional, conforming ways. This artistic revolution permeated society through art, architecture, product/interior design and fashion. The appeal of Vienna: Art & Design is not only its vastness, but also the seamless curation of art, furniture and other household objects which convincingly convey what life would have been like during this exciting and extravagant era. Highlights from the 250 pieces featured in this extensive collection include the Klimt’s breathtaking Beethoven Frieze comprised of neutral tones highlighted with emerald, cerulean and gold, as well as his 1902 portrait of Emilie Flöge, fashion designer and stylist. - www.ngv.vic.gov.au Answers to the question, “what do you think it means to be an Aboriginal?” are the foundation for Footscray Community Arts Centre’s latest exhibition, Blak Side Story. The fascinating responses prompted by this question have been recorded in a series of interviews that are presented alongside a selection of 22 powerful portraits of Indigenous community members from Melbourne’s West. This multi-media exhibition is a collaborative project from artists Paolo Balla, Tamsin Sharp and John Sones with Traditional Owners and Elders from West Melbourne’s Indigenous Community. The large portraits on display throughout the exhibition are complemented with four interactive Androids presenting a Digital Quilt in which viewers can touch the faces of several exhibition participants >

> for a response to the questions: “Where are you from?” and “What does it mean to you to be Aboriginal?”. Four computers the middle of the gallery provide additional interviews and stories from community members. Runs until 28 August.

- www.blaksidestory.com In his latest ACMI exhibition, Stereo Sequences, Shaun Gladwell describes his featured works as “performative landscapes”. Using large-scale film and slow-motion techniques, Gladwell creates works that feature skateboarders and BMX bike riders. Exploring themes of mirroring and parallels, the large-scale nature of Gladwell’s works engulf the viewer.Works such as Parallel Forces, 2011 draw the viewer into the piece as they walk between four large screens mirroring each other. Likewise, Endoscopic Vanitas (no veins version) 2011 features a smoke screen that viewers are forced to walk through to access the piece. Stereo Sequences is the first exhibition in a series of ACMI artist commissions and runs until 14 August. - www.acmi.net.au Bundoora’s Homestead’s Darebin Art Show is an acquisitive exhibition featuring the work of 83 artists and craftspeople living and working in Darebin.

“The City of Darebin has established a reputation for supporting and developing the arts within our city. We do this through a range of innovative programs, promoting excellence and innovation in contemporary visual art practice and supporting both emerging and established artists. This is a special exhibition as it celebrates the strength of our own artistic community,” says Councillor Stanley Chiang, Chairman of the Bundoora Homestead Art Centre Board. The biennial show features a ‘People’s Choice Award’, in which visitors are encouraged to vote for their preferred work. The winners of the show will be announced at the show launch in mid-July and the exhibition runs until 17 September.

- www.bundoorahomestead.com Dion Horstmans’ latest exhibition Light Speed at Flinders Lane Gallery features abstract, brightlycoloured geometric sculptures inspired by speed, light and shadow. Light and shadows work in conjunction with these three-dimensional sculptures, creating depth and complexity for each piece. A selection of names for pieces including Super Nova, Cosmos and Comet, demonstrate Horstmans’ fascination with mechanics, physics and speed.

striking, complex works from urban scenes that most of us would find unappealing and overlook as a source of inspiration. The brilliance of her work lies in her skill for finding beauty in the colours, textures and lines of the urban environment, which is often worn and far from pristine perfection. Light Speed and Over the Edge run from 9 – 27 August. - www.flg.com.au Groundwork at the Ian Potter Museum of art features a selection of paintings from three Indigenous artists: Butcher Cherel, Mick Jawalji and Rammey Ramsey. Curator Quentin Sprague has selected these prominent artists from Western Australia’s Kimberley region to challenge common conceptions and expectations of Indigenous art, such as distinctive regional style. Despite sharing common social and cultural relationships (all three artists have previously worked together on cattle stations throughout the region), their art practice ventures in different directions. Sprague explains that “Cherel, Jawalji and Ramsey all employ different formal and conceptual techniques to explore the tensions between storytelling, representation and picturemaking in their art ... Cherel’s fields of mark-making, Jawalji’s use of geometry and Ramsey’s pictographic representations are three examples of respective iconographies, all of which can be seen as dynamic individual variations to the established forms of artmaking in the region.” Another noteworthy aspect of this exhibition is that “the works can also be seen to represent a social and cultural mapping of the region - one that represents shared influences on the artists regardless of the differences apparent in their work.”

Runs from 3 August to 23 October.

More than 150 pieces from sixteen of the Padua jewellery school’s students are immaculately presented in silver-grey display cases lined with matching silk, upon which the jewellery has been carefully placed and labelled.

The variety and outstanding excellence of the pieces presented is a testament to Padua and its students.

Claymore...

Getting Their Celtic On Following their June performances at the National Celtic Festival in Portarlington and headlining the fifteenth annual Kilmore Celtic Festival, Claymore, Australia’s premier Celtic band, will travel to Brittany this month to play three shows as part of the Festival Interceltique de Lorient (5-14 August, 2011).

It will be Claymore’s third appearance at the prestigious international event, “We are really proud that they keep asking us back...it’s starting to feel warm and cosy like a second home”, says founding member and band manager William Hutton. “Festival Interceltique is huge and is the largest event on the Celtic circuit anywhere in the world. It’s like the Edinburgh Tattoo on Speed, with stadium size shows and venues, to small intimate clubs and pubs, it’s just a melting pot of all things Celtic. I’m looking forward to playing on the opening day at the Espace Marine with the Waterboys, and catching the great [Galician gaita bagpipe exponent] Carlos Núñez in action”.

In recent years, Claymore has ventured over to Europe for live dates and festivals. Indeed, Hutton is currently working on a tour schedule for the East coast of America in mid-2012, including New York, Boston and Chicago. “Logistically, taking the band to most overseas destinations from Australia can be a nightmare. On our last tour in 2009 we played at Skagen, Denmark’s oldest music festival, then had dates in The Netherlands and France. There were eighteen of us in the party, including our engineers John and Tony, and six ladies from the Glenbrae Celtic Dancers who join us on stage. Transporting that sort of crew and all our equipment is expensive, especially in a niche market like ours”, he concedes. “Our material certainly seems to be received just as well throughout Europe, the only issue we sometimes have is the language barrier when it comes to my wee chats between songs! That gets cut quite a bit and we let the music and the dance speak for us. We find ourselves driven to do it, to share our music and life experience with others; we certainly don’t do it to make ourselves rich! If we break even, then it’s been a good tour”.

Led by Hutton (lead vocals, guitar, bohdrahn), the Claymore line-up for the past fifteen years are all multi-instrumentalists with impressive musical careers in their own right. Brothers Grant (highland bagpipes, guitar, tin whistle, vocals, bohdrahn) and Craig Scroggie (drums, percussion, vocals) are joined by Michael Doyle (guitar, mandolin, fiddle, bohdrahn, vocals), Lindsay Hodgson (bass guitar, didgeridoo, vocals), and Mick Mills (drums, percussion).

“Together we have come up with a unique Scottish/Australian folk-rock sound. We add a certain ‘Australian-ness’ to our music with the introduction of the didgeridoo, and a solid

by Inga Walton

reference to all things Australian in our lyrics and stage show. It has taken a long time to get to where we are, with thousands of concerts now under our belts in many countries to millions of people over the years”, Hutton observes.

Considering his fairly typical upbringing, Hutton remains surprised by what became his vocation in life as redoubtable band front man and genial raconteur. “I was never a precociously ‘musical’ child, but always loved music growing up. I had an older brother in the Royal Navy and on every trip away he would bring back strange music from far flung countries that fascinated me. I was in the choir at Boys Brigade, I also had a huge love for the traditional music of Scotland that I heard quite often at my Granny’s place and my old Aunt Bella’s house.

She had a talent for piano, concertina, and banjo, and I used to sing with her when I went over there. The love of traditional music and dance has always been with me since then and is a huge influence on what we play today”. continued >

Claymore / Inga Walton

> The Claymore story began back in 1976 as a college dare when Hutton’s friends put his name down on the entertainment list for the end-of-year Christmas concert, “For a laugh, I thought ‘I’ll show you lot’, and a band was born”, he quips. “The other original member of Claymore was my classmate Richard Gibbons, we were apprentice electricians together.

For that first performance we rehearsed four songs for a few weeks beforehand, but we were terrified when the time came. We pulled it off though, in fact we were quite a hit, so we decided to continue as a duo in a true folk style. We had some moderate success around the folk clubs and pubs of Glasgow and further afield”, Hutton recalls. “We played many shows and gained a lot of experience, but never put our minds to recording, we just loved the energy that was live music. Eventually, Richard moved on from the music world to the world of religion and became a minister in the Church of Scotland”.

Having lost one band mate to the Man Upstairs, Hutton turned to another colleague Les Dougan to perform in Gibbons’ stead, and also began to appear solo. Newly married to wife Catherine, Hutton then decided on another momentous change, “Late one night after a few drinks we decided to try something new and emigrated to Australia in 1984, the two of us, and Les on his own. When we arrived it felt natural to start the band up again as a full time concern. We took the local Melbourne folk scene by storm and managed to make quite a name for ourselves in virtually no time at all, firstly playing in local folk clubs and then moving on to folk festivals and the like”, Hutton relates. “In those days we had the reputation of not only being singers but storytellers in the style of Billy Connelly, more people were coming to our shows to hear us talk shit rather than play sometimes! It was during this time we were approached to record our first album, Claymore [1988], by a local music agent which was released by Sony Music. After that album, Les moved on to his first love, progressive rock music, and I stuck with the folk scene”.

47

Perpetuating the musical and cultural legacy of his forbears is of paramount importance to Hutton: an intermingling of the timeless with the self-penned.

“We are always looking to source different or more obscure traditional material we can imbue with the contemporary Claymore feel. Personally, it means everything to me to maintain a link to my traditional Celtic roots through our music”, he admits. “Without that link to my heritage it would not be Claymore.

Many other modern Celtic acts seem to be doing the same thing now, mixing the traditional with the modern and the experimental. I think this can only be good for the evolution of traditional music to go in that direction, and certainly it introduces the music to a much wider range of people and age groups”.

To complement Claymore’s distinctive arrangements for British folk songs, Hutton is also the principal lyricist for their original material. “It’s an ability that I’ve progressively developed more confidence in over the years. I’m a ‘words first’ kind of guy and the melody sometimes comes quick into my head and helps me with the flow of the lyric, and other times I have to fit the melody around an already finished lyric”, he explains. “Then I take my humble offering to the rest of the band and they turn it into a polished song. The arrangements are always a joint effort, and Grant writes the a lot of the tunes”. After their return from Europe, preparations to record a follow-up to their last album Reflection (2008) will take priority.

“Grant has a home studio, so we all go round there to do a rough recording first, figure out if we’re happy with it, and then book studio time. Claymore comes from the school of hard knocks and we have worked hard for the modicum of success we have achieved thus far”, Hutton contends. “Music should be fun, exciting, emotive and take you on a personal journey, we like to have the audience come along with us for that. We love what we do and do what we love”.

Locavore intimacy Is it possible to be proper stewards of this planet when resources are sucked and trucked, extracted and processed by allopoetical strangers? I don’t think we can account for the untold violences that occur through systems of privilege, of resource capitalisation and transportation, of ‘extractive colonisation’, to site Peter Minter. In such a human state there is little ecological accountability, but more so there is little ecological intimacy.

Without intimacy, empathy is abstracted and ethics are mediated, so as veganism, vegetarianism and omnivorism become simply resource ‘options’, that one affords by virtue of privilege, wealth. We are a society of borderline moralities, chasing this belief here, that ideological option there, otherwise immersed in the post-ethical ‘blob’, as Thomas DeZengotita puts it (or ‘ambient blur’, as Timothy Morton suggests). But the blob ‘n blur reality is merely a product of affluence, a moment in time, a brief moment of human complexity enabled by fossil fuels.

So what happens when these fuels dry up?

After forty years of biological life enframed by intense mediation and technical aggregation, I have very slowly come to realize that the best we can be is the best we have been – forest gardeners and foragers, who occasionally hunt. Forest gardeners and foragers who don’t overshoot the landbase because they experience an immediate, intimate, sometimes co-dependent relationship with other beings. Being human has always concerned technics and intimacy, and the relationship between these two things seems to determine the way we are in the world. If our technics aren’t driving culture then we have an intimacy with the world that traditional societies evidently experienced. If our technics determines culture then we are at war with the world. In their writing, both DeZengotita and Morton ask us to get with the hypermediatedtechnoculture program because they believe in the myth of endless industrial energy. They believe in the progress myth essentially. They haven’t considered ‘energy descent’, and therefore believe technoculture is permanently fixed on ascent.

My response to these two technogeek theorists is two-fold. The first, pragmatic: technoculture is peaking, alongside its required resources. The second,

ethical: technoculture is cruel; it cancels out intimacy, dissolves empathy.

I recently curated a panel of speakers at the “Poetry and the Contemporary” symposium at Trades Hall in Melbourne. The panel’s title was not very subtle: Poetics and Future Scenarios: Poems and Poets in an Age of Energy Descent and Climate Chaos. I asked David Holmgren to open the session with a brief overview of his theory of energy descent and his four main future scenarios, each dependent on the speed of unraveling ‘climate chaos’ (as coined by Vandana Shiva) in relation to energy declines. Then three of us, Sue Fitchett (NZ), Peter O’Mara and myself responded as poets and ecological activists of varying colour and form. In my essay, I recounted the experience of shooting (by arrow) a Sulphur-crested cockatoo with a bow that I had hand made: “It is not the direct violence that I have felt so uneasy about in hand killing this sentient, beautiful being. A being I had felt no hatred towards. Rather it is cutting its life short, cutting off its voice, especially a bird that can live – sing, fly, forage and commune – for up to seventy years. When I set out to write this work I thought it would be a treatise on becoming a vegetarian, but in fact, despite a week of the bird’s wild stirrings inside me, using its remains as stock for successive foraged weed soups, I now understand more thoroughly why it is we’re transitioning to a greater wild diet, and the ethics that enframe it.”

A paper written by Mary Bomford and Ron Sinclair (2002), published online by the CSIRO, reveals just how normative the indirect violence of anthropocene culture really is on Australian bird life. In it they write, “Several species of cockatoo can be serious agricultural pests ... controlled by shooting, poisoning or capture followed by gassing.”

Wow! So in order for all of us – vegans, vegetarians and omnivores – to eat agricultural products we each have to agree that the wholesale killing of birds is inevitable. Bomford and Sinclair’s report details all damages by birds to agricultural crops in Australia, Sulphur-crested cockatoos signaled out specifically for ruining sunflower, wheat, barely, oats, pulse and nut crops. The report also identifies anthropogenic habitat destruction, which is another form of violence against wild bird life that the typical consumer of commercial agriculture is ignorant to.

In my essay I argue for a transparent and honest

food system. This momentary affluence of fossil fuels has created all forms of human complexity that have disabled a proper relationship to the Earth. This affluence seems to suggest that our complexities are intelligent, but I would argue they are simply mediated.

Imagine if food labels not only ‘fessed up to the production pollutions and toxicity that our transported food system emits, but also labelled all the wild species most likely killed in order for this food to sit on our tables. This unmasking of systemic violence towards ‘our Earth others’ (to site Val Plumwood), necessitates that we look again at how we should live.

>> As the text for this project instructs, regarding a map of the world comprised of rectangular fridge magnets, each bearing the image of a sleeping man: ‘You are invited to take a magnetic photo, and, in the future, place it anywhere you like....’ Participants are further invited to send to the REM Map website photographs, texts and videos of their placements.The dreaming man on the magnet — REM of course being an acronym for ‘Rapid Eye Movement’ sleep, aka ‘paradoxical sleep’ because brain activity is so close to that of waking life, and also because most vividlyrecalled dreams happen in that phase — will go places you, me, Jecca, him, have never (ahem) dreamed of. Even to call Jecca a spymaster is perhaps to over-humanize the operation.The Stealth Art website quotes Nicolas Bourriaud, doyen of ‘relational aethetics’: ‘The artist is the stealth aircraft of culture: undetectable by the radar of entertainment, but extremely efficient, as it always aims toward the sharpest edges, the most critical situations.’ Undectectible by radar, invisible to the naked eye, the artist is the social analogue of the most radical contemporary airborne military surveillance technology, all cruel edges and silent eyes.

If a certain sneakiness on the part of the artist is obviously at stake in the work of Jecca and the two Bells, Ash Keating’s work in this show acts as something of a foil. On the basis of Keating’s previous work, one might expect him to be a perfect exemplar of the paradox of the sneaky fucker: a man who makes public interventions on the basis of stuff he’s literally pulled out of the garbage bin, corporate communiqués and environmental disasters the world pretends aren’t there and therefore can’t be seen, although everybody knows, precisely, that they are there. But the Keating of this show is not the Keating who dumped ten tonnes of rubbish outside the Penrith Civic Centre in Sydney, or retrieved sensitive materials from ACCA’s trash. On 26 January

2009, Keating’s mother Pam Keating was killed in a car accident in Gippsland,Victoria, alone, travelling as part of her job as a wastemanagement and sustainability consultant. For this work, a simple looped video projection in a contained back-room, Keating simply filmed himself planting kangaroo-paw plants (which his mother loved) at the place where she died.The place is itself a type of rural Victoria, recognisable as such, yet nondescript, a place of no real general interest — other than to Keating himself due to the accident. Here — where?! — two years later, in midwinter, under a moody sky, the kangaroo-paws bob and nod rapidly in the breeze.

So the works in What’s Yours is Mine each, in their own ways — and for art, what other ways are there? — experiment with something of super-sneakiness. Art lures you in by revealing its sneakiness and thereby, perhaps, impels you to reflect upon your own.

It moves illicitly across the boundaries of law, social mores and good taste, taking and giving what’s yours and what’s mine, until nobody’s sure any longer whose is whose, or what’s what, or even who’s who. That such acts can be quiet, intimate and moving as well as loud, brash, and shocking is undoubtedly part of art’s ambiguous power. What do artists want?

At the very least, like transsexual replicants, to propagate their codes, whether in your eyes, mind, banks, dreams or cars.
