“Nederland schreeuwt om cultuur”. Tomorrow, November 20th, people will come together in 65 Dutch cities and towns to raise their voice for arts and culture. The budget cuts proposed by government are vindictive, uncivilized and out of proportion.
We get out of balance.

“When movement converges into its taking-form, or when thought converges into words, very little potential for creative expression remains. This is not to suggest that language cannot express creatively. It means that to remain post- iteratively creative, language must continue to express itself in a realm where thought remains prearticulated, where concepts continue to evolve. We must conceive of language as the eternal return of expression in the making.” (Erin Manning, Relationscapes, MIT Press, 2009, p.8)

In 1962 when he was 19 my father was stationed as a conscripted soldier on Biak, Dutch Papua New Guinea. It was a complete mess. The Papuas were betrayed by international diplomacy and Papua New Guinea became Indonesian after Dutch rule, instead of independent. Found this excellent set of 1962 photographs on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/toni_uni/sets/72157606249748644/
