Ask your questions here What are your theories about the show Severance? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Dear M, Thank you for your question. Part 1: A relative stranger to the series, some time ago I watched a few minutes of an episode where two or three people were gathered talking in a large, fluorescent lit room, sparsely furnished with a few pieces of office furniture - when an elevator door opened. I recognized one of the actors as Adam Scott, from the 2009 series Party Down. Scott played Henry Pollard, a one time actor, who along with an assortment of struggling actors and writers, worked for a Los Angeles catering company. Everyone but Henry imagined something more for themselves. In another time and space, life in the totalitarian state of the Czech government during the 1960’s provided ample material for the filmmakers of the Czech New Wave, including Miloš Forman, who was relentless in exposing the “contradictions and distortions”* of any given system, large or small. Although much has been made of Forman’s use of the outsider as protagonist, it’s clear from his early work in Czechoslovakia, and later in the US, that the focus of his films is less a singular heroic figure, but rather a group of people within a social or political system. Most famously here in the US, the main characters of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (Forman’s 1975 adaptation of the Ken Kesey novel), are a mental hospital and the inmates that occupy the world of the hospital. According to Forman, here was an opportunity to make a “real Czech movie…about a society I lived twenty years of my life in…it is about everything I know, everything I feel. Cuckoo’s Nest ending is my life in Czechoslovakia - throwing something through the window to escape.” The story is decidedly about something Forman had intimate knowledge of - living life in an environment that subverts reality - replacing it with something incomprehensible and beyond reason. A knowledge at once familiar and foreign to many of us. *Hames, Peter (1985). The Czechoslovak New Wave. Wallflower Press. A very good overview of the influential filmmakers and writers of the 1960’s including Věra Chytilová, Jan Svankmajer, Jiri Menzel, and Jan Nemec, among others. Part 2: A response from the Ists: (a Strategist, Herbalist, Artist, Sociologist, and Cardiologist). - Snake House "How much coffee is TOO much coffee? How do you suggest I eat my stress?" Dear C,Thank you for your question(s). Some might say that there is no such thing as too much coffee. Or that the too-muchness of too much may even give way to transcendence. Have you seen that episode of Futurama&nbsp;where Fry drinks 100 cups of coffee and overcomes the laws of space/time? There’s also the adage (veiled warning) that one can have too much of a good thing. But these days? In these times? Leave it to the austere ones, the ones with vices hidden, or those peons of puritanical respectability. I say, have as much as your pleasure allows. Importantly though, for fuck’s sake keep corporate coffee from passing your lips. There is no pleasure in tyranny.

The film appears at first to function as an intentionally incomplete portrait of Friedrich’s father, however, it slowly reveals itself to be a compelling meditation on autobiography, childhood, and the conflicted relationships between parents and their children. Shot in black and white, Sink or Swim is 48 minutes long and often mistaken as a film constructed from found footage. Friedrich notes that, with the exception of one scene from a family movie, all of the footage was shot (created) by the filmmaker herself.Walid Ra’ad says of his 1998 video, Dead Weight of a Quarrel Hangs, “…the events depicted are not attached to memories of actual events but to fantasies (mine and others’) erected on the basis of memories.” The video is a twenty-five minute three part project that includes Missing Lebanese Wars (in three parts), Secrets in the Open Sea, and Miraculous Beginnings (in two parts).&nbsp; As a visual montage of action and still shots with multiple narrations said to be inspired by the diaries of the fictitious wife of an equally fictitious historian of the Lebanese War, Dr. Fadl Fakhouri, it is hard to make sense of the images and sounds we hear and see, any more than we can make sense of our own memories - what is true, what is imagined? Describing the “facts” of displacement in part two of Missing Lebanese Wars, the narration states that Zainab Fakhouri left her husband, taking with her seventeen objects from her household. These migrations from place to place are remembered and recorded in the objects she has chosen to take; they are the effects of her history. The objects are what remain as evidence, or the “fact” of the departures. However, these “facts” only speak when we decide what they will say.Perhaps the implication of what is true or not may reflect the shifting relationship between ourselves, our memories, and our past. Is it a desire for satisfaction that propels us towards facts? I don’t know about you, but I want to be led down the garden path in unknown directions with little regard for the truth of what I encounter along the way, or the promise of certainty, as I interact with a work of art. Art can navigate a void - or place of nothing, and reflect something in that nothing. There will always be gaps - it is within and through these spaces that we can begin to imagine something more. - Snake House https://snakehousevt.com/TEXTS Wed, 19 Jun 2024 12:02:50 +0000 Snake House VT https://snakehousevt.com/TEXTS &nbsp; &nbsp;Curatorial Text - SAME AS NEVER (anything to get out of here,right?)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; DO NOT DISTURB writings on insomnia - collected poems &nbsp; Summer Reading : &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2025&nbsp; 2024&nbsp; 2023Curatorial Text -&nbsp;Resistance: Single Channel Video Festival 2025 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; https://snakehousevt.com/HOME-SAME-AS-NEVER Tue, 16 Sep 2025 17:46:16 +0000 Snake House VT https://snakehousevt.com/HOME-SAME-AS-NEVER &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;SAME AS NEVER (anything to get out of here, right?)

Sara Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life Resistance is a relationship. Are you keeper or are you kept? Resistance is geologic. What does resistance look like when the algorithm knows your shames, your loves, your kinks, knows what you want before you want it? When the protest gets a police escort? When you buy a Starbucks afterward, because god can we just live for a minute? At every turn you foil me. And yet through some luck/grace/will/inverse inertia we get on with it - with the spongy matter of loving. The pitfalls are many! The vertical task of somehow having connection when the name of the game is to go untouched. A saddling of SLOW deliberate motion that must sustain a strobe light of assaults. We doom-scroll to chill out. Can I resist and still have fun? We cannot speak of resistance without her sister temptation. And get to a salient point that yes sometimes to resist is to forgo desire, to deny pleasure - a wet with wanting and mouth full of lightning that_goes_nowhere_.&nbsp; Although_ must every lost hard-on become a little baby angel in heaven? Might we question the narrative that everything you’ve ever wanted is a half breath away; dreams that become landfill, become bombs, and then too become billable at $300 per hour so you can cry in front of someone who’s sworn to secrecy. Might we question the myth that accountability isn’t sexy, was never sexy. Might we crawl toward an ethic that holds frustration and elation. Toward a field of heterogeneity, plurality, exchanges, toward dildonics (thank you, Paul). Is resistance an insistence on collectivity, on saliva vs. bleach? We have been able to resist because we expanded our subjectivity, refusing to accept the idea that we’re all the same. - Ailton Krenak, Ideas to Postpone the End of the World We are looking for work that takes up the project of resistance, in the un/knowable breadth of what that may mean.

She writes,&nbsp; “Drawing inspiration from myths, conspiracy theories, quantum physics, anatomy and horror tropes, I construct liminal worlds that exist somewhere between interior and exterior, between reality and superstition, between architecture and the body. They are psychological spaces that are often in the midst of transformation, being overtaken by natural, supernatural or invisible forces. These forces serve as stand-ins for the anxiety that current world events bring into our personal lives and private spaces.” &nbsp; Stone received a BA from Bard College and an MFA from Parsons the New School for Design. She has been awarded the Tierney Fellowship, The Lotos Foundation Prize, an FST StudioProjects Grant and a Kone Foundation Grant. She has attended residencies at NARS Foundation, Artists Alliance LES Studio Program, Kone Foundation, MASS MoCA and Mudhouse Residency in rural Greece. Her work has been exhibited at 601Artspace, bitforms gallery, Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space, Dinner Gallery, FiveMyles, Ortega y Gasset Projects, Rubber Factory, Spring Break Art Show, South Bend Museum of Art, The Museum of Broken Relationships and Transmitter Gallery, among others.

Babe, we’ve all been there. DEFEAT. O how you held on. Iron on the tongue - whose blood? - every ragged fingernail, every festered wound cauterized, every sweet asshole clenched. But it’s oooovveerrrr nooowwww. The water rises; the curtain falls. The planet, your lover, the cat, roll to their side and lick themselves, leaving you to shelter on the edge of the bed. So what? Now what? It’s the old poetry of scoundrels, cads and rogues. Ancient, moody songs that make betrayal sound as normal as fried eggs. Somehow we know the lyrics, but only as they fall out of our mouths. I wish I could, but my car broke down, and I missed the bus, then the taxman came, and my baby left me, right after the cops pulled me over (before the car broke). The war washed it all anyway. We regret to inform you. Thank you for your time. We had an incredible volume. Your mother/father and I. After careful consideration. Thank you. ASAP.
