That’s funny, I remember David Graeber telling a story about being at some kind of conference where a professional artist climbed up onto a table and proclaimed “I AM A STUDENT OF GIORGIO AGAMBEN!” as he pulled down his pants and took a shit.

That is of course a somewhat controversial piece of writing, especially for the anarchists. I’ve been listening to C. Derick Varn’s youtube series breaking down this fucking massive critique of “On Authority” published online just late last year...

Lol at him being pissed at Agamben at the end

Also sorry Tea just realized I’m responding to a very old post

No, and it was sort of anomalous for that area from what I could tell. The surrounding streets were lined with gorgeous duplex brownstones and brick townhouses. I myself live in a shoddy apartment, I do bet they look decent inside, old hardwood floors etc

Not to downplay the distinction, but where do you think the fascists took many of the ideas they used to win workers over to their cause? “National socialism,” critique of capitalist bourgeois decadence, emergency dictatorship on behalf of the masses, collectivist critique of individualism...

Its in Queens but I thought it looked a bit UKish but I guess not lol

I posted a short goofy scathing review of one of his books a while ago https://www.dissensus.com/threads/27/post-717742

Yes, I have even skated the secret ramp built directly underneath the tracks at the Myryle-Broadway platfotm. Those green steel beams hold up the track overhead, gets loud as fuck when the train comes

Don’t let this slip by, guys. The first two names at the top of the naughty list are 1) k-punk and 2) Sleepy Joe, I shit you not

They do try to get at that formally in GRoY, in a pretentious way surely, but the tension between high art disinterestedness and ‘the street’ is partially the material they want to play with. Ambiguity is sexy. Another critical charge I’ve read billed their shtick as “irony without sarcasm.”

Very TDS-tinged short retrospective essay from 2017 by one of the members filmmaker and painter Antek Walczak that you’ll want to read version https://cdn.contemporaryartlibrary.org/store/doc/7534/docfile/original-80d07d79129aa08df125752696c9ec35.pdf

A critic I read put things similarly actually, while also paying BC a pretty funny compliment Funny that he gives the “role models” a lower score

2023: 2003:

That’s Fulvia Carnivale’s project, she was listed on the editorial board of Tiqqun #1. Terrible art, much worse than BC

But take your time to dig in for sure. The film’s worth checking out now that you’ve read Tiqqun. Much of the same footage and narration was put out in a very truncated form by former members or associates of Tiqqun (who split as a group in response to 9/11, hence the Invisible Committee) as...
