• "...a weirdly pedantic amalgam of Leslie Howard and Mary Poppins…"

  Jack Marx doesn’t like a certain recent cinematic release...

  Jack Marx doesn’t like a certain recent cinematic release. And hey, ho, whaddyaknow, his views are rather widely shared among the critics. Including Ella Taylor of the LA Weekly, who supplied the title of this piece. And no, she wasn’t referring to Hugh Jackman. / I’ve seen the preview for AUSTRALIA twice – no, I cannot tell a lie, only once: the second time it played, last Saturday, I shut my eyes. I’d paid good money to see QUANTUM OF SOLACE, damned if I was going to hurt my eyes watching clips for Luhrmann’s lumbering load of you-know-what. I know, I know… I should be supporting local artists, not talking them down… sorry, I don’t agree. Going to see a movie takes sixteen dollars out of my pocket and an afternoon out of my life. I’ve sat through a lot of crap movies, and Bazza’s baby looked like another one, albeit with all the knobs turned up to 11. / Wait until it comes on TV. Although it’s already long enough – with all the ad breaks they’ll jam in, you’d better stay off fluids for 72 hours beforehand. In the meantime, watch this, or – if you can find it – this. Or even this – loaded with funny lines. Not to mention the unforgettable scene when something falls off the top of the Eiffel Tower…

  It’s amazing what the human race can put other members of the human race through – yet we survive -however sometimes somewhat broken but we have been genetically programmed to fight and that is what we will do and so will generations to come also.

  First we take Paris, then we take the World Solo Commission Exhibition by Jamin Devonport Regional Gallery / Opening 6pm Friday 7 September, 2007 Exhibition runs 07.09.07 – 07.10.07 Jamin is represented by Criterion Gallery. www.criteriongallery.com.au There will be a free bus departing from Hobart at 12pm, Friday 7 September, and returning from Devonport on Saturday 8th September, departing at 1.00pm. Bookings for bus are essential, please email Jamin – info@jamin.com.au. “In a fusion of front-page juxtapositions spawned by the ‘news of the day’ during the development of these new works, Paris Hilton has become the hero, the enemy, the metaphor and the motivation. In the sinister Get the Girl, Kill the Baddies and Save the Entire Planet Paris appears brainwashed. Empty and vacant, a container for meaning. John Howard appears intrinsically aware of both Paris’s awesome power as a vehicle for any message imposed upon her, and his own control over the Australian people and relative invulnerability. Howard cackles menacingly skyward, neck muscles taught and constricted with the power and testosterone of patriarchy. Paris, or perhaps popular culture, has become Howard’s secret weapon.” / Excerpt from catalogue essay “One Night In Paris” by Scot Cotterell “Now in its third year, the Devonport Regional Gallery’s solo commission series continues to represent emerging and early-career artists, with the financial support of the Devonport City Council and Arts Tasmania. First we take Paris, then we take the World, presents the work of Jamin. While Jamin’s exhibition history is relatively new, in the past four years he has made an enormous contribution to the arts both in solo and group exhibitions. Jamin is a founding member of the Die Laughing Collective, with Paicey and Empire, through which he has been involved in various state-wide and national projects. Jamin is currently studying a Masters degree in Fine Art at the School of Art in Hobart.” / Excerpt from catalogue intro by Ellie Ray, Acting Director – Devonport Regional Gallery

  well I had a fairly good day today despite failing yet again in my quest to start awakening at an hour deemed reasonable by a society for which I have mostly contempt, but I refused to let such fickle matters ruin the oddly motivated mood I began the day under. No, instead I just took my own laziness in my stride and proceeded to do fuck all for about 10 minutes before getting out of the bed I had been so cosy in to light a cigarette…wonder if thats the very one thats going to cause the formation of a large, black, cancerous mutation within my lung/s ? / Following the ritual morning attempt at getting lung cancer, I had the sudden urge to somehow cause John Howard to get buttfucked by a mule, and a stubborn one at that, whilst I watched and laughed hysterically, but having calculated the probability of being shot by pigs first, I decided that it would perhaps be a more sensible option to spend the day painting instead.

  I am what you would probably call a mountain man from very North Alabama. I have trapped,fished,hunted,and dug wild roots for a start. I have deer in my yard every night. To some folks that would be a vacation wonderland but I guess I take it for granted. The farthest north I have been is Indiana and I would not have went there but I was trying to push an invention.In January of 98 my father died and then in December of 98 my brother died of cancer. In Febuary of 2000 my oldest son died in a car wreck. He was 22 and had no I.D. I had to go to the morgue and identify him. I always carry my I.D. now. Then in November of 2000 my mother died. Some of this happened while my youngest son was on tour in Iraq. He spent 2 tours and came back 30% disabled. I was worried about him and that is when I started writing poetry. I remarried my 3rd wife and adopted her 9 year old son. He is 17 now and her (Patti) my adopted son and my other son and his wife are about all the family I have left. There is also a 27 year old stepson and his wife but they live in T-Town and we don’t see them much. As far as me, I have been disabled for nine years with a plate in my neck and one in my lower back. I have degenerative arthritis and I stay on some pretty heavy pain meds but I’ve been on them so long I don’t get geeped and they don’t help with the pain like they used to but I am lucky compared to some. Well, I suppose that is enough to bore ya’ll to death so I will Juat say May God Bless and I look forward to reading some of ya’lls writings. Thanks Stan Howard
