Before I get round to posting sometime on the Acheron team's postmortem of Brian Eno's lecture (which we took in last Friday), I thought I'd dig around a bit more for material related to the politics of modernism. Mhuthnance, you were expressing regrets about not getting to the Salvador Dali show, but have you read this? Something else I've found particularly rewarding of late is Junk for Code's critical appraisal of Hans Bellmer. After dwelling on that for a while I somehow ended up at the clip for the gigantic marionette doll I've posted here. I find it quite eerie because, aside from any Bellmer-like associations, it brings to mind the closing scenes of Paprika.
