51 DEGREES.

22ND APRIL 2009. WILD BUILDING. DIGBETH. BIRMINGHAM UK. 8.00 PM.

CHU has a full exhibition of various new ART work of his in Birmingham, UK. CHU on various new mediums: canvas, aluminium, paper prints, stickers, and THE impossible "CHU" CUBE. I was kindly asked by CHU to DJ for the launch and had many epiphany-experiences with the precise aerosol art worlds crafted by CHU. A reminder of how GRAFFITI art and culture reflects IDEOGRAMIC culture, and how STREET art and artists seem to be reaching beyond limits.

Chapel Perilous online course

The concept of Chapel Perilous, a weird kind of limbo, period of transition, purgatory, etc turns up in RAW's work a lot, but (rather like the Grail) it proves illusive when you try to research it.

Eric Wagner (author of An Insider's Guide to Robert Anton Wilson) - if you don't like Amazon, see it at New Falcon Publications) - intends to run a course on the subject (if enough people show up) and posted this intriguing and tantalising summary on the Forum.

Dedroidify: a re-search resource

For people who think of blogs as one person's lone rant in the world, I would like to point out that this particular blog remains a collaborative adventure for many interacting-processing minds, with no editorial position (or editorial censorship).

So to balance any bias you may perceive, from previous links to selected items, I (for one) want to make sure you don't miss out on the dense research on a wide variety of topics that you can find at Dedroidify.

You can find a treasure trove of RAW material there, but a lot more related material besides.

Permanent links to mosbunall the interesting stuff  we have come across appears in the links down the right hand side (given that blogs remain more time-linear than websites - but you can use the Tags, the Site Search, the Imperfect Index, etc to dig deeper).

Look under member's blogs, etc - and Like-Minded Links.

Thanks for your attention...
