And The Wonders You Can Do
“As a queer artist I seek to create a temporal historical rupture,” says Texas-based performance artist Sarah Hill, while describing her – sorry, their – 2014 opus They Wonder. “During the performance,” we’re told, “I repeatedly spin around and around in circles.” The reason being that, as an artist and worker of profundity, Ms Hill is “interested in the continuous action of spinning and getting no-where, falling down and getting back up.”
Inevitably, Ms Hill tells us that she – sorry, they – disdains “the pressures of commodification,” and rejects “the populist template of art as a form of leisure or entertainment.” Yes, I know, a fearless and terribly radical decision, the effects of which may become apparent in the following video, recorded at the Waterloo Centre for the Arts, Iowa.
See, now you realise you were all starved of art and its enrichments. And indeed still are.
Off topic possibly, who knows, the world of strange just keeps growing?

Met Police officer becomes Britain’s first ‘bi-gender’ PC
I’m not sure how one might go about interacting with someone, not least a supposed authority figure, whose identity is apparently so unstable that on any given day they could turn up for work (or to court) as a man or a woman. At some point, “diversity” becomes a Two Ronnies comedy sketch.

I think that one deserves a post of its own. Point any comments over there.
Free admission, I note. Presumably because capitalism is evil, not because…no, right; capitalism it is.
Oh look! They is fat, talentless, and needing of attention. How very precious and rare.
I, for one, am gratified to note that even at 73 years of age, I am sufficiently astute (artistically) to be able to glean all of the import from they’s performance in only 37 seconds.
I’ve gotta say… the new Wonder Woman movie is a disappointment.
After watching 1 minute of this I am now having to rethink my attitude to the performance art scene in The Big Lebowski. Far from being a parody it is now several times superior to that which the directors were seeking to mock.
I’m from Texas. I’ve never seen a human case of Mad Cow Disease before.
