John Berger: "The dead surround the living. The living are the core of the dead. In this core are the dimensions of time and space. What surrounds the core is timelessness."

2x mindblown and radicalized by re-reading ‘Ways of Seeing’ in BM. The translation embeds Berger’s incendiary view into the local consciouness. The publication should be a much bigger deal for Malaysian art than it currently is. Relative silence betrays just how compromised and deflated the scene is by fear, hype, elitism and commercial interests.

‘Some notes about the art of falling: Charlie Chaplin’ by #JohnBerger (2012) https://www2.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/sight-sound-magazine/archives/john-berger-notes-on-charlie-chaplin
@MarkJCurran Interesting. The piece about Chaplin is included in this BBC Sounds radio feature, spoken by #JohnBerger himself
@MarkJCurran One of my favourite writers. So many wonderful thought-provoking books...

'Today the global tyranny of speculative financial capitalism which uses national governments as its slave masters & world media as its dope-distributor...whose sole aim is profit & ceaseless accumulation' Remembering #JohnBerger dotd 2017 #RestInPower (Portrait - Franck Courtes)
Dipping back into Kimmerer, Berger, Snyder and Haraway for a thing I'm writing.
I find it weird when people DON'T see the world as alive, as a subject, not an object.
Were you raised to see the world around you as alive, and important, or as something external over which you should impose your will?

#JohnBerger wrote with Shaffer ink which created many washes - with salt, with spit, with water. Here a page from Bento left out in the rain -
Late British novelist John Berger won the 1972 Booker Prize for his book titled "G", and gave half the money, or £2,500, to the London based British Black Panther Movement. "Seeing G", a short documentary, explores Berger's "controversial" action 50 years on.

Currently reading … both are older books available at very reasonable prices. The Courbet is a 1980s Brooklyn Museum retrospective catalogue with excellent essays and TONS of color plates. Berger is one of the few writers on art I really like (Danto and Tompkins are the other top three); I found a fascinating long quote from it online about Courbet and Cezanne so had to check it out; it’s a prescient look at investment capital and art.
