More than 30 large-scale works from a series with the working title "for myself". The color reality-psychedelic series contains the subjects of hidden passages of only seemingly famous history, as well as the dark corners of a mundane spirit. + The music of Petr Spálený ranges from rock and pop to country music and experimental compositions. His lyrics and his singing style include playful humor, ironic skepticism, and contemplative introspection.

Focusing on the massive extraction of brown coal near the recently destroyed northern city of Most, this new diagrammatic work uncovers the convoluted narratives embedded in coal as a politically charged material, and presents coal as a fossilized component of Georges Bataille’s ‘Solar Economy’. Here, coal is not considered an inherently problematic material, but a consequence of a gallant vegetative resistance against the thermonuclear holocaust at the center of our solar system – the Sun (after Negarestani). Charting the recent transferral of this solar hegemony – played out originally through industrially charged Bolshevik pride, and subsequently through the expansionist machinations of modern global capital (post Velvet Revolution) – the artist’s research identifies nodal points in a 360,000,000 year old story that ends with the human unwittingly becoming the hand maiden of the Sun in its universal drive towards pyromanical accelerationist mega-death. The exhibition ‘The Sun is Black’ is housed in the former headquarters of the Czechoslovak Republic Central Electricity and Transport Division in downtown Prague and publishes the results of a six-week research residency undertaken by the artist during September/October 2011 in The Czech Republic. The main body of work is presented as a giant hand-painted wall diagram and scale time-line – an extended version of ‘Bound Excess Diagram’ first published in Collapse VI: Geo/Philosophy, Urbanomic 2010.

Barker's remarkably candid photographs show the founders of punk in their bedrooms and kitchens, and at forgotten private parties where they were experimenting with the extremes of dress and style that later became synonymous with punk – but at this time was still restricted to the creative use of their grandmothers’ wardrobes. Barker’s unassuming lens perfectly captures the spirit of the moment, before the twin forces of media and commerce inevitably sunk their claws into the heart of punk’s style and latent politics.

between Boleslaus and Wenceslaus as between evil and good. OPENING OF AN EXHIBIT OF THE HALF LIFE WORK OF S.d.Ch, STAGED READING OF THE SPIRITUAL FARCE, SPIRITUAL DEATH IN VENICE AND PRESENTATION OF THE BOOK "AN ARTISTIC TRILOGY"

Serial "This is not...?" (based on René Magrittes "Ceci n'est pas une pipe"). The essential input for the THIS IS NOT...? sequels are works and lifes of prominent artists (also TV-, show-, advertisement and other entertainment stars, as well as politicians); topic of a surrealist juxtaposition with René Magritte's "Ceci n'est pas une pipe". Analysis is concidered as a deduction of reality.

Some people will never want to become members of communities, associations, nations, or ethnic minorities. Not even if it might help them. Artists reject their audiences and are rejected by curators, gallery owners, and publishers. And, as citizens, they are all rejected by their politicians. And politicians are rejected by the governments whose principles they themselves ponder. Governments are rejected by alliances and unions. History is a series of large and colossal betrayals, of comprehensible and incomprehensible betrayals. Treachery and trickery forms the basis for personal lives and daily intimacy. Maybe there is no such thing as original sin, only original betrayal – God’s betrayal of Man and parents’ betrayal of their children. Merely by the fact that they will claim anything. People can always say that they don’t know what they are doing. Pav betrayed Poland, Poland betrayed Pav, Poland was betrayed by England and France, the Poles betrayed the Czechs, the Czechs betrayed the Serbs. Who’s next?

Control of your mind is a military capability. Telepathy, from the Greek τελε, tele meaning “remote” and πάθεια, patheia meaning “to be affected by”, describes the transfer of information on thoughts between individuals by means other than the five classical senses.

The lantern, reaching its height of popularity in the nineteenth century, represents the very beginnings of cinema, with its echoes of the ‘fantasmagorie’ of Melies and the supernatural stage illusion and automata work of Robert-Houdin. It is during ‘Devil Daddy’ that the physics of its natural magic of glass, flame and shadow-play take on a compelling, atavistic role, made rich in the telling.
