Not sure where to put this but sort of fits here - was cleaning parents' house and came across a stash of original pages from the pupil magazine I did at school, including the front cover, of which this is a detail

The "infinite chain of anecdotes" thread has messed with me to the extent that I now want to post on every thread in that fashion: "Once in Bradford I kipped in a squat where, as I recall, they had pasted some of Frans Masereel's art up on the wall. I also strongly remember them having a copy of Terry Wogan's autobiography propped up on the mantelpiece, in the manner of a small shrine."

anarchists do seem to like a woodcut!

I wonder what proportion of anarchist graphics in use are by either Harper or Drooker? Add prole.info into that and it must be a fair proportion.

I reckon there's a good anarchist art bingo card to be made - something by Clifford Harper, another woodcut, graphic nicked from Prole.info, graphic from Eric Drooker, picture of a skull, picture of a cat, etc.

“During the summer of 2020, pictures of a naked sunbather chasing a team of wild boars across a lakeside beach in Berlin spread rapidly online. With the sunbather’s laptop in its mouth, the hastily captured smartphone images helped reinforce the myth of the boar as a troublesome animal. A wild animal that refuses to stay in the wild.

Exploring confrontation and the relations between human and non-human, Brès questions anthropocentric fictions of ‘Nature’ that make our existence within an interconnected ecology hard to recognise. Constructing a non-human world in which wild boars are the primary protagonists, this experimental fiction artwork uses quantitative ecology tools to help guide its script – including geospatial mapping systems and a team of algorithmically animated boars. Manipulating data points, Brès uses mapping as a tool to open up new prospects for alliances between human and non-human. Sitting somewhere between the real and virtual, the world she constructs helps us imagine alternate ways of seeing the world, confronting prevailing anthropocentric philosophies towards a speculation for a communism of the living."

Funny how life goes, you can go ages and ages without encountering any boar-themed anarchist art and then...

Fascinated by the parma bit - does this mean that the famous Middlesbrough sandwich has reached as far as Australia? Or should he choke on a parma violet, or what? So many questions.

The Funeral of the Anarchist Galli - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"The Funeral of the Anarchist Galli (Il Funerale dell’anarchico Galli) is a painting by Italian painter Carlo Carrà. It was finished in 1911, during the artist's futurist phase. It currently resides in New York City's Museum of Modern Art.

The subject of the work is the funeral of Italian anarchist Angelo Galli, killed by police during a general strike in 1904.[1] The Italian State feared that the funeral would become a de facto political demonstration and refused the mourning anarchists entrance into the cemetery itself. When anarchists resisted, the police responded with force and a violent scuffle ensued.

Carlo Carrà was present. His work embodies the tension and chaos of the scene: the movement of the bodies, the clashing of anarchists and police, the black flags flying in the air. He reflects in a later memoir:

I saw before me the bier, covered with red carnations, wavering dangerously on the shoulders of the pallbearers. I saw the horses becoming restive, and clubs and lances clashing, so that it seemed to me that at any moment the corpse would fall to the ground and be trampled by the horses…[2]
