An 86-year-old, real-life Robinson Crusoe

An 86-year-old Yorkshire man, Brendon Grimshaw may have lived alone for many years on the tiny island paradise of Moyenne in the Seychelles in the middle of the Indian Ocean since he bought it in 1962 for £8000, but he is rarely lonely.
For Brendon has spent the years reintroducing the indigenous giant tortoise to Moyenne and now shares the island with 120 of the magnificent creatures, on one of the world's smallest national parks.

Ancient language discovered on clay tablets found amid ruins of 2800 year old Middle Eastern palace

Archaeologists have discovered evidence for a previously unknown ancient language – buried in the ruins of a 2800 year old Middle Eastern palace.

The discovery is important because it may help reveal the ethnic and cultural origins of some of history’s first ‘barbarians’ – mountain tribes which had, in previous millennia, preyed on the world’s first great civilizations, the cultures of early Mesopotamia in what is now Iraq.

Evidence of the long-lost language – probably spoken by a hitherto unknown people from the Zagros Mountains of western Iran – was found by a Cambridge University archaeologist as he deciphered an ancient clay writing tablet unearthed by an international archaeological team excavating an Assyrian imperial governors’ palace in the ancient city of Tushan, south-east Turkey.

Utopia - 1951

Heading for a newly inherited island, the boys are shipwrecked and marooned on an atoll which has just emerged from the sea. Along with their cook, a stowaway and a girl who is fleeing her fiancé, they set up their own government on the atoll. Uranium is discovered and world powers begin fighting over ownership of the island.

Deep Sea UFOs

A detailed examination of the little-known phenomenon of USOs, orUnidentified Submerged Objects, an advanced type of UFO that can operate just as efficiently in water as in the atmosphere. These supposed otherworldly vessels have been reported, some believe, as far back as ancient Egypt. Others believe that USOs were reported by Alexander the Great and Christopher Columbus, and might even involve the lost city of Atlantis.

Highlights include the 1967 Shag Harbor Incident, a government-documented USO crash off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, and a trip to the area around Laguna Cartegena in Puerto Rico, a reported hotbed of USO activity.

Interviewees include the US Navy’s Bruce Maccabee, UCLA’s Kathryn Morgan, as well as USO and UFO experts Stanton Friedman, Bill Birnes, and Preston Dennett.

Stealthy Street Photography by the Czech Secret Police

In the 1970s and 80s the Czechoslovakian secret police, among other things, were charged with surveying the population without their consent or, for that matter, knowledge. Taking pictures from under coats or inside suitcases, the secret police kept tabs on the goings on of the general public. And while the act itself is voyeuristic and creepy, the pictures turned out surprisingly well.

All of the images are featured in a new book entitled Prague Though the Lens of the Secret Policepublished by the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes.

PETROSPHERE #2

PETROSPHERE: Cities rise and cities fall again; words are spoken and retracted; we meet and talk and things will not be the same again.

Skypark, Space 162B, 8 Elliot Street, Glasgow.

Friday 20^th April – Monday 7^th May.

 PETROSPHERE is part of a series of projects between 5 artists based in Glasgow, and 5 artists based in Athens. Vibrant, difficult, beautiful, caustic; full of friction and full of life, Athens and Glasgow share strong similarities as catalysts for ideas and places for artists to live and practice. PETROSPHERE becomes a platform to explore this through an exhibition curated by the artists themselves.

 The new work developed for this Glasgow International group exhibition features sculpture, drawing, photography, printmaking, painting, performance, and video. The exhibition has a bold and confident appeal, with individual works that are rich in texture and detail.

 Transforming a basement space within Glasgow’s Skypark, the artists’ individual concerns are presented within the frame of an architectural exhibition structure. Fabricated ‘gallery’ walls hint towards a misplaced urban plaza, around which the artworks congregate like new citizens. In a variety of visual languages, they trade isolated words, and sometimes whole sentences, with one another. Science fiction / lament / design proposition / myth / colourfield :  a logic emerges from their scattered alphabets.

The PETROSPHERE artists are:

Ruth Barker, Antonakis Christodoulou, Helen de Main, Vassilis H, Niall Macdonald, James McLardy, Margarita Myrogianni, Aliki Panagiotopoulou, Ciara Phillips and Kostas Sahpazis

Opening event: Saturday 21^st April, 2pm-5pm.

Performance by Ruth Barker: Saturday 21^st April, 4pm.

True Adventures in Better Homes Mashup Collages by Nadine Boughton

In her True Adventures in Better Homes photocollage series, Massachusetts-based artist Nadine Boughton has combined the look of vintage men’s adventure magazines with Better Homes and Gardens of the same era.

These photocollages are set against the backdrop of the McCarthy era, advertising, sexual repression, WWII and the Korean War. The cool, insular world of mid-century modern living glossed over all danger and darkness, which the heroic male fought off in every corner.

My intention is to show how the inner psyche reflects the culture at large. I am drawn to the tension of opposites: inner and outer spaces, wildness and domesticity, the sweat and the cool. With a background in psychology, I am always interested in what lies beneath appearances. The predator theme so present in the “true” adventures led me to explore “who” or “what” is breaking through. Whether the metaphor is that of bats or whales, this “other” carries not only our deepest fears but our deepest desires. We meet ourselves.

Hosted in Athens // 22-29 May 2012

 Hosted in Athens has invited groups of artists and collectives of different background and nationalities to present their activity in various buildings in the center of Athens through a series of events and exhibitions.
 The project intends to articulate and organize its potentials in the area of the historical center of Athens and to involve public and private venues that can host its program in the means of hospitality.
 The project seeks to advocate the local art scene and to introduce the work of international artists to the broader Athenian public. To provide the conditions for dialogue and collaboration between groups, communities and individuals and to establish connections between the cities involved emphasizing on the essence of networking and collectivity.
 The participatory groups will be able to display their joint collaborations, shows and events in the context of a broader perspective that includes artists, curators, institutions and host venues.
 The aim of the project is to underpin the importance of collaboration, the individual participation and the exchange between different art scenes and to indicate new ways of working that embrace the values of exchange and hospitality.

Recent Image of the Monolith on Mars

A few years ago, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter using it’s HiRISE camera, caught what appears to be a monolith in a valley on Mars. It’s very intriguing and was almost immediately written off by the press as just a “roughly rectangular boulder”.

It may very well be just a boulder, but the images are striking, and since I believe that NASA lies to us at every chance they get about the true nature of our universe, I’ll wait on passing judgement until I’ve seen more angles of this, well, monolith.

If you’d like debunking ammo on this, Life’s Little Mysteries did a fairly condescending article about this formation…
