The Avant-Garde Never Left: Robert Hughes Described the Revolution and Then Declared It Over
Robert Hughes wanted it both ways. In the final moments of "The Shock of the New," his landmark 1980 BBC series on modern art, he declared the avant-garde dead and then, in the same breath, described its beating heart. He told us that the radical project of art was finished, that the market had swallowed it whole, that the institutions had filed its teeth down to nothing.

Content warning: gun violence, nazi shit

On the first day of the #PTSD intensive, we talked about the shooting. I had felt like I was done with that, that it didn't have anything left for me. But there was something still that filled me with rage... that is still confusing and enraging.
It wasn't actually being shot. I wasn't even the possibility of death. I had been prepared to die. I always knew that was possible. It was something else.
I remember Marc Hokoana's face as he pepper sprayed pacifists, smiling and taunting, joyfully hurting people who he knew were refusing to respond. I remember their flags, the kek flag, literally a Nazi battle flag replaced in 4chan colors with the clover 4chan logo instead of the swastika. How many people have been tortured, have died? How much suffering, that these people not only welcomed but celebrated, joyfully participated in.
The cruelty was the point. It was the plan, the plan he posted to Facebook, the same plan as they have always had, of torturing people until someone responds and then murdering them. Inflicting trauma, responding with overwhelming force, showing how "big and strong" they are because they can always escalate.
Try to stop someone from peppers praying people, they shoot you. Shoot back, like Michael Reinoehl, and they send a death squad for you. But we keep standing up, so they keep escalating to the slightest imagined infraction. Now they just murder you for being in a car, for filming at a protest, for existing.
The bar for what justifies murder or torture will continue to move lower until there is no one left, or until they can no longer escalate.
The feeling of helplessness is still not the biggest thing though. It's the joy with which they inflict this on us. That's it. That's the thing.

This fence, which you last saw me working on more than a week ago, is still not fully stretched. Working on your own is slow, and working whilst not in good health is slow. I'm getting there.

A gatepost, with stretched wire leading to it from the left. The gatepost has a new diagonal brace it didn't have a week ago, but it's still being held stretched by the cable from the tractor winch. Behind, the young trees in the wood are springing green.

Moving from one social media platform to another shows how unimportant you are.
This just came to my mind today when I posted one photo in my Instagram story where usually about 50-80 ppl watch it.
And after repeatedly telling that I'm moving away, almost noone followed. It was the same when I left Twitter.
Having followers doesn't mean having their loyalty. Even though it would just be one app install..

E.J.Hughes only wanted to be left alone to paint. He made hundreds of paintings in his 70 year career and lived long enough to hear on the telephone that one of his paintings fetched over $1m in his lifetime. Not many humans have that experience!

I remember speaking to someone who, maybe a decade ago, worked at a ride share app company.
They left shortly after a meeting in which the company was looking at ways to slow cities from investing in their public transport.
On its face a business or technology might not be objectionable, but there's an inevitability to the direction that investment demands.
