Tim Barrus New York Times
Let’s review. I am left inside stupefaction’s plastic shell. It cracks and the tourists jump out. We would all love to frolic here. There will be a test. All tourists should be required to know exactly how much carbon footprint if you were Godzilla stomping around and drinking spritzers. What…

The celebrity machines on the march of progress. How do the people who feed this beast live with themselves. The machine is ruthless. We are the culture of ruthlessness. It has permeated every cellular structure of society. There are only two issues. What is the truth, and what is identity.…

Republicans want to kill us. Erase that. Republicans are killing us. That alone will get me kicked off The New York Times. Again. The truth is just the truth. Americans cannot face the truth. You live in an ugly country inhabited by ugly people with their fetish for a king.…

There is a word that Americans refuse to confront. Sadism. Sadism has won and Americans cannot even articulate what it is. Americans do not read. Americans are more into building detention camps. I turn to art. It’s all I have. I am writing a play called Somalia. I hide the…

I was Creative Director for a foundation where we brought art programs and cameras to kids at risk, all over the world. We gave hundreds of Play Sport Kodak cameras to the children. What came back was a kick in the gut. I was speechless (rare). This is how they…

Tim Barrus: The Center Will Not Hold
Well-written. Crafted. To the point. Informative. Soft landing. Solid journalism. It is focused on a complexity of power. We now have a government that is critically out of control, and we have no idea what to do about it. Cool and calm under pressure think piece. Weapons of mass destruction…

HOMO SAPIENS
I am a communist. What does that mean. I don’t really know. I am attracted to the idea that Capitalism has no heart in its cold and bitter soul, and having studied civil societies for a long time, I would argue that we are still living with political paradigms that…

Extinction Event
I am a communist. The whole Let’s Have More Babies fetish is a hay ride I cannot jump on. Babies in poverty is so unfair. We are worth more than that. Why is slavery always the answer. Just telling me that humanity will rot doesn’t make it through the filters…

Tim Barrus New York Times
Take notes. I am living in my car. I have found a cottage in the woods. In two weeks, I move in. A hurricane made sure I am living out of one bag. A photography bag. I have lived out of one canvas bag for fifty years. Sue me. Tonight…

Tim Barrus New York Times
Take notes. This is darker than it seems. People need time. There is no time. Allow me to be so bold as to suggest that there is another aspect to this. The media. I indict all of you. Might I suggest that the resistance has been forming the structure of…

DIRT BIKETOWN
The earth makes you feel the earth. You will know gravity and what a gravity well is. It’s about surviving the experience. You try to make it all look normal. It takes me about three hours to put on the full mask. Go out there and sparkle. Who says go…

Icon
Iconography is the Jack Russell chasing its crazy tail. Stripped down to what is important but probably not to the dog. To the dog, you either feed it or you don’t. Icons seek an audience. A holiness beaten bitter by its complete failure to find a god. Anywhere. Anywhere.

CinemathequeFilms: Les Russes à Paris
CinemathequeFilms did not disintegrate like a melted marsh mellow grimace of 16mm film burned at the alter of my untimely demise. We never did get that license. We just kept making videos. We could pick and choose who saw them. Usually, only people who had cheered them on in France.…

Den Stockholm pojken masturberar
efter onanering/ auctioneeren/ kronan/ du äter hans ack/ priset är en buzzard för soppa/ slutföra köpet av engagemang/ invigningstal/ hemligheterna av hans fängelset/ färgen på snö och is och gags på vinden/

Another Night of Whores
the fuckbucket slinks around the block not unlike the tongues of midnight in ten thousand of them creep along the sidewalks, too if only i could steal myself free of some trick’s eating of my ass i would do it like a tyrant’s vein so blue in temperament all that’s…
