Entartete Kunts [LINK-ZUM]
"Entartete Kunts" is a playful bastardization of the German term "degenerate art" and a snide reference to the 1937 Nazi purging of all art deemed objectionable by "Der Fuhrer." This unfortunate pun seems somehow appropriate for a bunch of drooling degenerates that consistently crank out uncompromising eyesores with seemingly little regard for commercial viability or good taste. As it turns out, the title also insures that many local businesses will refuse to display the flyer or otherwise promote this annual optic apocalypse. Entartete Kunts is in fact a very special exhibition that assembles some of the most devoted artists from around the world for a rare glimpse into a thriving and still largely renegade culture!

Featuring J. Petagno, Chris Reifert, Drew Elliott, Rev. Kriss Hades, Conny Cobra, Mannuel Tinnemans, Nor Prego, Glenn Smith, Strephon Taylor, T. Ketola, Joseph A. Smith, French, Musta Aurinko, Paul "Unhinged" McCarroll, Bobby BeauSoleil and Dennis Dread.

OPENING RECEPTION
Friday JUNE 20 2008
7pm-10pm

Rudyard Kipling: The Gods of the Copybook Headings [LINK-ZUM]
[A search on google indicates that a copybook heading would have been understood by a reader in Kipling's time as something like an 'eternal truth.' The Gods of the Copybook Headings are those elemental gods that every school child knows cannot be overthrown. - Trevor Blake]

As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.

We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.

With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."

On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."

Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wobbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return.

Dan Savage, Another Day, Another Dozen Stories Like This: "A day doesn't go by without an email arriving from some fundie douche expressing concern for my son's immortal soul."

Associated Press, Teen Held After Threat Sent to Satanists: "A teenager was arrested after a leader of the Church of Satan turned over to the FBI an e-mail the high school student had written to the sect in which he threatened to kill his grandparents, authorities said."

[All articles continue at links. A tip of the hat to Magus Peter H. Gilmore, High Priest of the Church of Satan, for making the unfortunately necessary and responsible choice. - Trevor]
