On a personal note.
The current economic crisis has been used throughout Europe and maybe even throughout the industrialized World to generate more panic and more apparent need for security. The current political discourse is shameless in its tone and doesn’t leave any doubts. Things can today be said openly and it may pass as correct, that would have been outrageous five or ten years ago. Xenophobia is not a thing of the past. But with your help it will. CRUSH FASCISM once and for all!
I just wanted to add this note from an Artist you might know.
‘Nothing is black or white, there is no purity and there is no such thing as justice.
Hitler used one particular atom in his left eye when he focused on signing the death warrant of over 250 000 people. A few weeks later when his body burned in a bunker this atom escaped from his eyeball in a rush of smoke. It rose up a lift shaft into the air, combined with an oxygen molecule and circled the earth for thirty-five years in the clouds.
One day the atom fell in a raindrop and landed on a field near Norwich. It combined with hydrogen particles in the bark of a young Oak tree where it settled for the next twenty-nine years.
Last May foresters cut down the tree containing the atom and sold it to a milling plant. The atom was processed alongside million of others through a charcoal kiln before leaving the factory in an ink cartridge bound for east London.
On Tuesday morning a chubby man called Dave loaded the cartridge into a paint mixing machine and set it running. Later that afternoon I walked into that shop bought the bucket of black paint containing the atom and took it home. I used it to make this painting. A painting that contains a very small piece of Hitler, a tiny speck sitting in a dot on this canvas. This dot, the one coming up right now at the end of this sentence – FUCK FACISM.’
