Why can’t we make massively big cabbage heads?

…a wonderful ten-point compendium of advice for students and teachers, misattributed to John Cage but in factuality created by artist and educator Sister Corita Kent for a class she taught at Immaculate Heart College in 1967-1968, originally titled Immaculate Heart College Art Department Rules

From top: Fianna Fáil leader Michaél Martin and Seán Haughey; Cllr Deirdre Heney
“I am very, very, disappointed. The old boy’s brigade is alive and well. What Micheál Martin has done is very unfair on me. I went out and I fought to win that convention. This country is full of inequality for women. It is very unfair of Micheál Martin… to have Seán [Haughey] added.I had to go out and work really, really hard and Seán is added on top of me for a second time. It could result in no seat for Fianna Fáil in Dublin Bay North.”

After the lessons of Averil Power’s resignation and the Mary Fitzpatrick debacle I cannot fathom Fianna Fáil’s continuing unwillingness to embrace women (not like that), women who can offer the party a real future and not simply the promotion of old boys…Instead they marginalise them and unleash the party machine against them…

The neon landscapes of Grant Haffner – a mixture of acryllic, marker pencil and paint on wood panels, evoking childhood sunsets at Long Beach in Sag Harbor New York. Sez he:
For a small moment, in between this place and that, I am free from reality. My truck and I become a motion of blurred color, barreling through space and time. I like to keep my window open to listen to the sounds that traveling makes, to enjoy the smell of the landscape. Every trip is a new one, not one sunset is the same. On the road I am a part of the painting. I am movement, color, sound, adventure and emotions. This is my landscape.

Leigh Michael has been releasing his own material since 2002 under many different guises, notably as Exxon Valdez, The Bastard, Mick E. Rawrk, The Gruesome Twosome & Kali.
Each project has showcased his lyrical dexterity and humour whilst also maintaining an alternative voice that examines modern social structures and challenges perceptions of the perceived norm.
His new album ‘Bruce’ is a natural progression for Leigh and represents a rebellious attitude towards the current structure of society and the state of consciousness it perpetuates…
FIGHT!
