El esoterismo de Evola y el romanticismo de los místicos fascistas

Por Marco Rossi

Traducción de Juan Gabriel Caro Rivera

Es cierto que no resulta fácil llevar a cabo una investigación seria y equilibrada sobre temas como la Escuela de Mística Fascista o la naturaleza del compromiso cultural y político de un intelectual sui generis como Julius Evola. Pero es para llevar a cabo tales tareas que se necesitan obras como las de Tomas Carini: estudios que no sólo sean capaces de proporcionar una recopilación racional y crítica de los textos (ahora inasequibles y, por tanto, inaccesibles para el debate), sino que también sean capaces de ofrecer una primera interpretación de este fenómeno.

Los acontecimientos relacionados con esta Escuela, que no son nuevos y algunos de cuyos aspectos ya han sido abordados por otros (y que Carini somete a una adecuada crítica en su ensayo), se sitúan en el dramático periodo marcado por los primeros años de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, que es sin duda el conflicto militar e ideológico más imponente de la historia y el que más ha influido en los destinos de Occidente.

La tragedia y la dureza de este contexto no pueden olvidarse. Incluso pueden ayudarnos a comprender la magnitud del compromiso total que se exigió a la población y, por lo tanto, también a los intelectuales durante aquellos años.

Más allá de los diversos juicios que las diferentes ideologías desplegaron lógicamente, el carácter epocal (¿y tal vez incluso apocalíptico?) de esta confrontación se puso rápidamente de manifiesto en este enfrentamiento: quien perdiera esta guerra sería probablemente borrado de la historia, no como ser físico, sino como presencia ideológicamente aceptable según la Weltanschauung de los vencedores y, por lo tanto, inexorablemente condenado como tal a la condenación sistemática de su memoria, cuando no a representar la encarnación diabólica del mal absoluto, de lo demoníaco en la historia.

Por otra parte, esto no fue diferente del destino de los cartagineses después de sus derrotas finales en los siglos III y II a.C., ni del destino, más tarde, del mundo católico, derrotado en la batalla por el control ideológico de la modernidad que tuvo lugar entre los siglos XVI y XVIII (véase a este respecto el reciente estudio de Franco Cardini y Sergio Valzania sobre Le radici perdute dell'Europa, Mondadori, 2006), por no hablar del destino de los diversos pueblos indígenas americanos, ya que la enormidad de las responsabilidades coloniales de Europa sólo se ha reconocido desde el siglo pasado.

A este respecto, por desgracia, los historiadores ya no pueden albergar la menor ilusión: el control del pasado siempre ha sido el presupuesto necesario para gestionar el consenso político actual, como comprendió claramente George Orwell en su novela 1984.

No hay nada de virtuoso en este tipo de relación entre la verdad histórica y el problema del control de la información con fines políticos o religiosos y sería una verdadera hipocresía indecente negar que, desde la época de Keops, los vencedores siempre han intentado, por todos los medios posibles, presentarse como los únicos con derecho a escribir la historia legítima. Afortunadamente, a pesar de todas las contradicciones que la civilización occidental pone de manifiesto (y conocemos bien su número y su naturaleza), sigue siendo absolutamente cierto que en Occidente existe un amor fundamental e inerradicable por la libertad; y éste es sin duda un modus vivendi mucho más peligroso que nos viene directamente de los griegos y los romanos, y sobre el que el cristianismo ha actuado de forma bastante maravillosa: es sobre esta base genética particular del alma occidental sobre la que debemos depositar todos nuestros esfuerzos y todas nuestras esperanzas.

Paradójicamente, es a partir del tema de la libertad que podemos encontrar el paradigma más eficaz para poner de relieve uno de los puntos más profundos de la cuestión que favoreció el encuentro – y luego la separación – de los destinos de Evola y de la Escuela de Mística fascista.

En efecto, una vez que tenemos en cuenta el clima candente de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, debemos recordar la naturaleza particular del compromiso cultural y político de Evola, que probablemente ilustró durante estos años una fase de gran compromiso con la lucha ideológica y los acontecimientos políticos contingentes.

Pero para comprender y valorar mejor la naturaleza de este encuentro momentáneo, es necesario recordar que Evola procedía íntegramente del mundo cultural y espiritual del esoterismo: toda su historia artística y filosófica, que precedió a su revisión personal de la cultura y la Tradición esotéricas del siglo XX, sólo adquiere un significado apropiado dentro de una búsqueda espiritual de este tipo.

Y esto es tanto más claro cuanto que todo su compromiso posterior sólo puede explicarse e insertarse dentro de una ética impuesta por los principios de la Tradición esotérica e iniciática, y es por ello que todos esos estudios sectoriales (a veces muy interesantes en ciertos aspectos) que pasan por alto esta evidencia macroscópica y que pretenden ver en Evola a un mero intelectual político, o incluso a un «infiltrado del fascismo», sólo pueden aportar interpretaciones que conducen a equívocos y a veces abiertamente falsificaciones.

Evola siempre trató de transferir la ética guerrera del kshatriya al compromiso cultural y político en el mundo moderno: aunque es comprensible que esta propuesta pueda parecer descabellada a la mentalidad de los investigadores serios formados por la cultura «secular» y materialista contemporánea, no es legítimo negarse a examinar tal compromiso existencial, simplemente porque forma parte de una cultura antropológica muy alejada de la Weltanschauung que ha llegado a dominar Occidente en la actualidad.

Puede parecer absurdo que Evola creyera seriamente que podría rectificar «espiritualmente» el fascismo y el nacionalsocialismo mediante la cultura esotérica e iniciática de la Tradición, pero no se puede negar su constante compromiso con esta perspectiva; un esfuerzo que, al menos a partir de 1926-1927, demuestra claramente hasta qué punto se atemperó la seriedad de tal propuesta.

En el contexto específico de la reconstrucción histórica, no se trata de formular juicios «morales» – entre otras cosas porque muchos otros intelectuales del siglo XX estaban seriamente comprometidos con las ideologías más diversas y discutibles –, sino de valorar un fenómeno en toda su complejidad y, sobre todo, de situarlo adecuadamente en el contexto ideológico en el que se hace verdaderamente comprensible.

Por lo tanto, es necesario subrayar cómo el encuentro entre Evola y la Escuela de Mística Fascista tuvo lugar dentro de la perspectiva más amplia de un intento, a todos los niveles, de rectificar el régimen fascista italiano en un sentido esotérico y tradicional.

Según esta lógica, Evola estuvo siempre a la búsqueda de círculos e individuos dispuestos a desarrollar libremente (y, por lo tanto, fuera del estricto control político del régimen) «algo» del corpus de valores espirituales de la Tradición esotérica e iniciática: la Escuela, como deja claro Carini, decepcionó al Evola esoterista y las diversas razones de esta ruptura son totalmente comprensibles.

Paradójicamente, el esoterismo de Evola no podía compartir un misticismo que tendía a hacer del voluntarismo combatiente la única realidad espiritual.

Por un lado, el deseo del régimen fascista de no oponerse a la autoridad de la Iglesia católica, con la que había firmado el Concordato en 1929, que equivalía a una especie de alianza, y, por otro, la tendencia reductora y propagandística de la exaltación del hombre de Mussolini, que implicaba una devoción absoluta y una fe dogmática, impedían toda posibilidad de desarrollar con seriedad y realismo cualquier mística con verdadero contenido espiritual.

Evidentemente, para Evola, el rechazo del racionalismo materialista moderno no podía significar el rechazo de la tradición filosófica griega y oriental, a través de la cual muchos de los contenidos del esoterismo se habían integrado, en el pasado, en las diversas tradiciones religiosas, del mismo modo que no podía exigir legítimamente la abnegación absoluta y «mística» de la voluntad individual en el altar de los contenidos combatientes, todos ellos más o menos únicamente orientados hacia el único objetivo de la exaltación nacionalista y chovinista.

Evola no pretendía en modo alguno renunciar a la libertad radical que imponía una vía de realización esotérica e iniciática, que ciertamente no podía tener lugar dentro de los estrictos contornos ideológicos del fascismo, ni de los estrictos contornos religiosos de la Iglesia católica: esta dificultad había estado siempre en la base del compromiso de Evola con la rectificación tradicional del régimen y explica las numerosas contradicciones aparentes de su actuación durante aquellos años.

Sobre este punto, también podría argumentarse que Evola intentaba en el fondo una operación imposible, es decir, la rectificación del fascismo en un sentido esotérico y tradicional, y deducir así el carácter sustancialmente «irracional» y «romántico» de esta tarea; pero tal juicio no correspondería a la realidad efectiva de las cosas.

Desde nuestro punto de vista, Stefano Zecchi circunscribió el problema de forma muy convincente hace unos años cuando escribió sobre Chevaucher le Tigre (Cabalgar el Tigre), pero lo hizo formulando un juicio total que sirve de clave interpretativa para todo el compromiso cultural de Evola.

De hecho, Zecchi habla de una «filosofía de la responsabilidad» que revela «el uso de una responsabilidad teórica que, tras diagnosticar el fenómeno de la crisis, restablece el contacto con una dimensión del ser liberada del subjetivismo finalista y teísta»; y ello precisamente en el marco más amplio de una Tradición esotérica redescubierta y revalorizada.

Y es precisamente a través de esta conquista libre y agotadora que se funda la lógica del compromiso «responsable» de Evola; Zecchi aclara las cosas: «Las convicciones de Evola pueden parecer una quimera ingenua, pero siempre han sido obra de quienes creen que la política debe encontrar su fundamento en la cultura y que el combate político debe basarse en el reconocimiento de frentes ideales, no en la táctica y el pragmatismo de las posiciones políticas. Una cultura», argumentaba Evola, «no es aquella que sirve al Estado y a la política, sino aquella que – al estar en el corazón de una idea única, en el símbolo elemental y central de una civilización dada – manifiesta su fuerza y ejerce una acción paralela, a menudo invisible, ya sea en el plano político, ya sea en el plano del pensamiento y de las artes».

A ese nivel, la «responsabilidad» del intelectual tradicional, o si lo preferimos la de un conocedor serio del esoterismo, se mide únicamente por su capacidad de luchar por los auténticos valores espirituales, mucho más allá de las posibilidades de realización concreta que la contingencia histórica pueda permitir de vez en cuando.

Además, el dharma de un verdadero kshatriya es precisamente el de luchar y comprometerse desinteresadamente por una causa justa, lo cual es absolutamente la antítesis de cualquier cálculo probabilístico en cuanto a las posibilidades de éxito o derrota en tal enfrentamiento.

Sólo en el terreno de tal actitud heroica del alma, hecha de abnegación total y de misticismo, Evola y los místicos fascistas pudieron encontrarse, durante un período de guerra real: pero lo que, para los místicos fascistas, estaba ligado a la fe en un hombre y en un régimen era, para Evola, el compromiso de una vida consagrada a la valorización – personalmente desinteresada – de los valores esotéricos e iniciáticos de la Tradición.

Si es posible definir a los místicos fascistas como románticos sin equivocarse, esto no se aplica a Evola, que se sustenta en una conciencia esotérica, fruto de una experiencia interior y particular de lo sagrado que, además, se realizó en los escombros del arte dadaísta y de la filosofía idealista, es decir, sobre las ruinas de las vías humanas y culturales que más a menudo se habían desarrollado a partir de las contradicciones del alma romántica.

Lo que queda es la importancia de un encuentro histórico que da testimonio de la violencia de aquellos años, así como de la generosidad y honestidad de los muchos intelectuales – injustamente denigrados y posteriormente olvidados – que, en Italia, se enfrentaron al fuego desatado por el enfrentamiento epocal que fue la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

AstraZeneca vaccines to arrive in Bacolod, NegOcc this week

#PHnews: AstraZeneca vaccines to arrive in Bacolod, NegOcc this week

BACOLOD CITY – The supply of AstraZeneca vaccines against the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is expected to arrive here and Negros Occidental province in the next two days.

This was assured by Secretary Vivencio “Vince” Dizon, deputy chief implementer of the National Task Force Against Covid-19, during the vaccination launch at the Teresita Lopez Jalandoni Provincial Hospital (TLJPH) in Silay City, Negros Occidental on Thursday afternoon.

“The vaccines are already in Iloilo. These will be brought here in one to two days,” Dizon said.

Although he did not say how many doses would arrive, he said the AstraZeneca doses would be initially provided to health care workers above 60 years old.

During the vaccination rites, the Covid-19 testing czar said he was touched as he witnessed the health care workers in Negros Occidental being inoculated against the virus.

“It’s very touching to see all the health care workers being vaccinated at the same time,” he said.

Some 12 medical front-liners from four provincial government-run district hospitals took the first shots of SinoVac’s CoronaVac.

These included Dr. Mary Ann Maestral, chief of clinics; Dr. Gleen Rivera, chair of the Department of Internal Medicine; Dr. Francis Gabriel Relota, medical specialist II and chairman of Hospital Safety Committee; Dr. Genio Dominic Alojado, medical specialist III and chairman of Infection Control Committee; Dr. Jean Alojado, medical specialist II, Department of Pediatrics; Maria Maricel Judith, chief nurse; and Kristine Kaye Nicer, medical technologist I, all at TLJPH.

The others were Dr. Laarni Guanzon, nephrologist and chairman of the Department of Medicine; and Randy Peacita, OIC chief nurse, at Cadiz District Hospital; Dr. Jeffty Castillon, medical officer II at Lorenzo D. Zayco District Hospital; Denmark Gonito, nurse II; and Angelo Magalona, nurse I at Valladolid District Hospital.

“Today, the stars of the show are the health care workers. Kayo po ang mga tunay na bayani nitong laban na ito. (You are the true heroes in this battle.) You are our heroes, our heroines,” Dizon said, citing Maestral for her untiring work in continuously keeping in touch with him for supplies of testing kits and vaccines.

“It’s just symbolic that Dr. Mary Ann will be the first one to be vaccinated today. All of these vaccines are for you and the other health care workers,” he added.

The Provincial Health Office received 1,600 vials of CoronaVac, which was part of the 6,300 doses that arrived in Bacolod on March 5.

Dizon also acknowledged former 3rd District congressman Alfredo Benitez, now the Capitol consultant for economic affairs, for working hard to get help for Negros Occidental in addressing the pandemic, along with House of Representatives Minority Leader Joseph Stephen Paduano for supporting the passage of Bayanihan Acts 1 and 2.

Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson thanked Dizon for attending the launch, saying his presence added more importance to the event.

After the event at the provincial hospital, Dizon proceeded to Bacolod to attend another ceremonial vaccination at the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital, in the presence of Mayor Evelio Leonardia and medical center chief Dr. Julius Drilon. (PNA)

By Bucky Brooks, NFL.com Analyst The 2020NFL Draftis underway! You can follow all of the picks with ourNFL Draft Trackerand tune in to NFL Network, ABC, ESPN and ESPN Deportesfor live coverage. The draft will also be streamed live via the NFL app and ESPN app. Below is Bucky Brooks’ analysis for every pick by every NFL team. For reference, you can see every pick fromBrooks’ final NFL mock draftatMock Draft Central. 1) JOE BURROW, QB, CINCINNATI BENGALS The Heisman Trophy winner gives theBengalsa franchise quarterback to build around. As a quick-rhythm passer with outstanding poise, accuracy and playmaking ability, Burrow plays like a pass-first point guard running a fast break in the open court with a knack for getting the ball to his playmakers in their sweet spots. 2) CHASE YOUNG, EDGE, WASHINGTON REDSKINS Ron Rivera grabs the best player in the draft to fortify a defensive line that could feature five former first-round picks. Young is a natural pass rusher with A-plus size, athleticism, first-step quickness and technical skills. He gives the ‘Skins a Julius Peppers-like playmaker off the edge. 3) JEFF OKUDAH, CB, DETROIT LIONS TheLionstake a rock-solid cornerback with excellent man-to-man cover skills. He’s at his best in press coverage but displays the footwork and movement skills to shadow from afar. Okudah’s overall toughness and tackling skills will also stand out on the perimeter. 4) ANDREW THOMAS, OT, NEW YORK GIANTS Experienced offensive tackle (41 career starts) with the potential to play on either side of the line. Thomas is a rugged blocker in the run game but also displays the balance, body control and anchor to snuff out pass rushers off the edge. 5) TUA TAGOVAILOA, QB, MIAMI DOLPHINS TheDolphinsdidn’t have to tank for the QB they’ve been tied to for over a year. Tagovailoa has a game that reminds some of a youngDrew Brees, with his accuracy, anticipation and touch earning high marks. He is a franchise QB with the potential to elevate the play of others with his talent and leadership skills. 6) JUSTIN HERBERT, QB, LOS ANGELES CHARGERS Anthony Lynn wants to implement the Shanahan system with a mobile playmaker capable of thriving in a stretch-bootleg scheme. Herbert has outstanding arm talent and is a nimble athlete with the capacity to make accurate throws on the move. Playing in a play-action scheme that creates huge voids in the intermediate range should help Herbert thrive as a passer. 7) DERRICK BROWN, DT, CAROLINA PANTHERS ThePanthersneeded to fortify the interior of their defensive line with a disruptive force at defensive tackle. Brown is an absolute monster as an interior defender with A-plus size, strength and explosiveness. He is a high-motor player with impressive run-stopping skills and pass rush potential. 8) ISAIAH SIMMONS, LB/S, ARIZONA CARDINALS Simmons is an electric hybrid defender capable of playing anywhere on the second level. He is a unique playmaker with impact potential as a blitzer or cover guy vs. tight ends and running backs. It will be interesting to see how theCardinalsuse a multi-dimensional player with a rare set of skills and versatility. 9) CJ HENDERSON, CB, JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS Henderson is a polished cover CB with outstanding athleticism and movement skills. He flashes natural instincts, awareness and ball skills in coverage, and is efficient in man and zone coverage. Tackling was an issue but he is arguably the best cornerback in the class. 10) JEDRICK WILLS, OT, CLEVELAND BROWNS TheBrownsadd a bully to the offensive line with the size, strength and power to maul defenders in the running game while stalemating pass rushers off the edge. Wills played RT at Alabama but his footwork and athleticism should enable him to handle the blindside without a problem as a pro. 11) MEKHI BECTON, OT, NEW YORK JETS Mammoth OT with A-plus size, athleticism and movement skills. Becton is a natural LT with explosive strength and power and a nasty disposition. He finishes runs like a nightclub bouncer throwing guys out of the club. The Louisville standout also flashes the balance and body control to effectively shadow speedy edge rushers. 12) HENRY RUGGS III, WR, LAS VEGAS RAIDERS Ruggs gives theRaidersa speedster to man the vertical stretch role in the passing game. He is a spectacular runner after the catch, so he could be utilized as a WR1 despite playing as a WR2/WR3 for the Crimson Tide as a collegian. It could take him some time to adjust to the bigger role as a pro. 13) TRISTAN WIRFS, OT, TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (VIA 49ERS) The Bucs getTom Bradysome much-needed protection on the offensive line. Wirfs is an experienced RT but has the capacity to play multiple spots along the line. The Iowa standout is a freak athlete with outstanding agility, movement skills and explosiveness. 14) JAVON KINLAW, DT, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (VIA BUCS) The49ersget a natural replacement forDeForest Buckner. Kinlaw is a long, powerful defender with the capacity to play multiple spots along the defensive line. He is a disruptive defender with strong hands and a nonstop motor who fits the culture of the49ers‘ defensive front. 15) JERRY JEUDY, WR, DENVER BRONCOS Jeudy gives theBroncosa polished route runner with a game that’s plug-and-play ready. He can play in the slot or outside as a potential WR1 in an offense that creates big-play opportunities for playmakers. 16) A.J. TERRELL, CB, ATLANTA FALCONS It was imperative for theFalconsto find a CB1 in a division that’s loaded with pass catchers. Terrell is a talented cover corner with size, athleticism and a diverse set of skills. He can play in press or off, and has the potential to move inside as a slot corner. 17) CEEDEE LAMB, WR, DALLAS COWBOYS Mike McCarthy could see a littleDavante Adamsin Lamb’s game. The Oklahoma standout is an impressive playmaker with spectacular ball skills and running ability. He is a threat to score from anywhere on the field, and he gives theCowboysa potent set of pass catchers on the perimeter. 18) AUSTIN JACKSON, OT, MIAMI DOLPHINS A talented OT with natural left tackle skills, Jackson plays with outstanding balance, body control and lateral quickness. He has All-Pro potential from a physical standpoint but needs some time to refine his technique as an edge blocker. 19) DAMON ARNETTE, CB, LAS VEGAS RAIDERS Rock-solid CB with a steady game that’s better than advertised. Arnette plays with a technical savvy and discipline that’s common in veteran corners. He has the capacity to play press or off, and plays with outstanding vision as a zone defender. 20) K’LAVON CHAISSON, EDGE, JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS Jaguarsget an explosive speed rusher with outstanding first-step quickness and closing burst. Chaisson has big-time potential as a pass rusher, but he hasn’t put up the sack numbers to match his talent. He could make a major leap when he settles in as a pro. 21) JALEN REAGOR, WR, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES TheEaglesneeded a speed WR and they get one in Reagor. The TCU standout is electric with the ball in his hands, and he also displays the speed to act as a deep threat on the outside. With theEagleslooking to upgrade the weaponry aroundCarson Wentz, it is not a surprise to see Reagor get the call at this point of the draft. 22) JUSTIN JEFFERSON, WR, MINNESOTA VIKINGS TheVikingsget one of the best route runners in the draft to replaceStefon Diggs. Jefferson is an A-plus slot receiver but also has experience playing on the outside at LSU. He should be ready to make an immediate contribution asAdam Thielen‘s running mate on the perimeter. 23) KENNETH MURRAY, LB, LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (VIA PATRIOTS) TheChargerswanted to add an instinctive second-level defender to the mix to match up with explosive offenses in the AFC West. Murray is a terrific sideline-to-sideline playmaker with blitz ability and solid coverage skills. 24) CESAR RUIZ, C, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS Ruiz is a high-IQ pivot with solid skills as a run blocker. He doesn’t move defenders off the ball, but he holds his own at the point and effectively creates seams at the line of scrimmage. In pass protection, he understands how to use his neighbors to slow down overpowering defensive tackles and is strong enough to anchor vs. power. 25) BRANDON AIYUK, WR, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (VIA VIKINGS) The49ershave twin playmakers on the perimeter with Aiyuk joiningDeebo Samuel. The Arizona State standout is an explosive runner with the ball in his hands and his open-field running skills make him a threat to score from anywhere on the field. With Kyle Shanahan masterfully creating big-play opportunities on catch-and-run concepts, the49ers‘ offense is even scarier with Aiyuk coming on board. 26) JORDAN LOVE, QB, GREEN BAY PACKERS (VIA DOLPHINS) WithAaron Rodgerson the back nine of his career, thePackerswisely select a young quarterback to groom as his successor. Love is not a finished product at this stage of his career but spending a few seasons working on his craft in the shadows of the two-time MVP could serve him well when he takes over down the road. 27) JORDAN BROOKS, LB, SEATTLE SEAHAWKS Pete Carroll loves instinctive players with nonstop motors and physical playing styles. Brooks is a tackling machine with the capacity to stone runners in the hole or chase them down on the perimeter. He is fast, tough and productive with a knack for shooting through gaps. 28) PATRICK QUEEN, LB, BALTIMORE RAVENS The LSU standout is a sideline-to-sideline playmaker with quick diagnostic skills. He is an exceptional “see ball, get ball” defender with the speed, quickness and explosiveness to track down runners all over the field. 29) ISAIAH WILSON, OT, TENNESSEE TITANS If you want to maul and mash, there’s nothing wrong with running behind a mammoth OT with a powerful game. Wilson is a road grader with the capacity to blow defenders off the ball and his run blocking skills should work well with theTitans‘ scheme and offensive philosophy. 30) NOAH IGBINOGHENE, CB, MIAMI DOLPHINS (VIA PACKERS) The pick might stand out as a surprise but Igbinoghene is an A-plus athlete with exceptional straight-line speed and quickness. He is a press-only corner with a competitive streak that shows up on tape. The Auburn standout lacks natural ball skills, but he’s ideally suited to run around in man coverage as a former track star on the grass. 31) JEFF GLADNEY, CB, MINNESOTA VIKINGS (VIA 49ERS) Mike Zimmer gets a tough, hard-nosed CB with solid instincts and awareness. He has nice movement skills and athleticism, and shows enough versatility to effectively play man and zone coverage on the perimeter. 32) CLYDE EDWARDS-HELAIRE, RB, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS The LSU star is a pass-catching RB with soft hands and excellent route-running skills. He is one of the best pass catchers we’ve seen in recent drafts while also showing a tough, hard-nosed game that enables him to stay on the field as a three-down running back. The post 2020 NFL Draft: Bucky Brooks’ pick-by-pick analysis for Round 1, all 32 picks appeared first on American Football International. #2020NFLDraft #Round1 #AtlantaFalcons

This exhibition includes the work of three artists from the international Residency Unlimited program: Maria Agureeva (Russia), Juan Sánchez (Spain), and Benjamin Brett (UK). All of their work is extremely different, but intersects along “by way of conceptual concerns and intellectual reason, paired with doing something ‘just because’—instinctual and driven by a sense of chance and play.”

Here, that conceptual concern is the balance between external politics and free will. We’re curious to see how that translates to each artist’s respective practice—Agureeva uses her own body in pieces that function as both painting and sculpture, Benjamin Brett makes conceptual paintings that combine narrative and abstraction, and Juan Sánchez uses economical materials and art historical references to comment on labor and impermanence. This should be a heady show.

Radical Conversation: Making America Great - Hettie Jones: The History of Greatness

ICP has been responding the current political crisis with a programming series that’s pretty on point. This week, they’re hosting a talk by Hettie Jones on exactly what making America “great again” really means. Jones has a long history of working through publications—she published the radical Yugen magazine from 1958 to 1962, numerous books for children of color when they were a rarity, and was a chair of the PEN Prison Writing Program. That’s a lot of experience and wisdom to share about working in the face of adversity, and boy do we need it right about now!

Vectorian New Year : HAPPY 2030 AD

Who ever knows what the hell is going on at Vector Gallery? We applaud AFC alum Whitney Kimball for her in-depth attempt at deciphering their mysterious ways. Whatever “Crown Prince of Hell” JJ Brine and his accomplices are up to, it’s usually fun. If you need a break from reality in these stressful days, this celebration of the 2030 Vectorian New Year might be just about the closest thing to experiencing an alternate universe on a Wednesday night in Manhattan.

From the event page:

Facebook has rejected the language of this event ad on numerous ocasions due to the asymmetrical relationship between SHAY culture of 2017 and the notion fo a 2030 temporality by Vectorian reckoning. Therefore Eye am left with no other choice than to state the following : all symbological designations of time and its passage, Gregorian or otherwise, are conceptual art proects purporting to account for the laws of now, then, soon, and when was that again?

Book Launch: Ah Yes Bad Things by Andrea McGinty

We’re big fans of Andrea McGinty. The artist has a rare capacity for conveying bittersweet, humorous reflections on contemporary living with economical combinations of mass-produced products. That might be a vibrator dancing endlessly around a juicer or a humidifier wrapped in workout clothes with optimistic platitudes. For anyone who’s felt alienated by the endless barrage of ever-more-unattainable “wellness” or “self-care” promised by consumer culture, her work feels like a poetic confidant to share a skeptical eye-roll.

We’re excited to see how this strategy translates to publication form. McGinty is launching her first book from local publishers Soft City, Ah Yes Bad Things. The book comprises ephemera from her smartphone: Tweets, messages, notes, and images from the camera roll. That’s an increasingly common approach to compiling artist books, but we’re guessing McGinty’s will be singularly insightful, weird, and funny.

Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art

Book Launch: Queer Threads

We haven’t had a chance to check out Queer Threads, the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art’s survey of LGBTQ+ fibers artist yet. This looks like the night to do it. AMMO Books is launching a 192-page color catalog featuring the work of and interviews with 30 queer fiber artists. It’s a good mix of local, national, and international artists. It sounds like a keeper. JD Samson (queer icon behind feminist bands such as MEN and Le Tigre) will be DJing the event.

Tough

What’s this show going to look like? If Alicia Gibson’s oil painting “Nail Polishing Club” (above) is any indication, great. The event page only lists the artists and the below list of tough stuff, so we’ll have to wait until Friday to satisfy our piqued curiosity. Even the artists we’re familiar with aren’t an indication—conceptual painter Joshua Bienko’s work always seems to look different, but it’s almost always good.

Tough break Tough shit Tough cookies Tough nut Tough luck Tough love Tough as nails

Artists: Alex Sewell, Alicia Gibson, Joshua Bienko, Jenna Gribbon, Sam Jablon

Sharper Image

We love Dina Kelberman and Milton Melvin Croissant III (two of the artists in our Providence College show Geographically Indeterminate Fantasies: The Animated GIF as Place). Kelberman samples pop culture or the endless archives of the internet with often hilarious, often overwhelming ends. Croissant (yes… real, awesome name) creates insanely detailed CGI renderings of the corporate blandscape and various other digital environments. Whatever they’re showing here, it’s going to be great.

Heartbreak Hotel

Heartbreak Hotel is succinctly described as “Five hour simultaneous durational pieces with bells, whistles, and fog.” Sounds like a fun haunted house?

The show features work from some of our favorite artists in the Bushwick scene, such as FlucT’s Sigrid Lauren and video/installation artist Miles Pflanz.

Generally, I’d say five hours is more of an endurance challenge for the viewer than the performer. But this format and lineup might just keep things engaging all the way to midnight.

Artists: Angeli, Camila Cañeque, David Ian Bellows/Griess, Sigrid Lauren, Whitney Mallett, Miles Pflanz

Tom Burr: New Haven

Bortolami’s ARTIST/CITY initiative famously put Eric Wesley in a Suburban Midwestern Taco Bell last year (the idea behind the project is to pair the gallery’s artists with unusual spaces outside of NYC to make new work). But the most exciting pairing might be Tom Burr’s takeover of the IKEA-owned brutalist landmark Pirelli building. Designed by Marcel Breuer, it’s one of the many modernist gems sprinkled incongruously around the small city. At present, it sits empty like a sculptural object in the parking lot of an IKEA. It’s an odd example of suburbia sort of subsuming the utopian architecture that just-barely preceded it.

Tom Burr has been creating works in response to the building (which was designed, coincidentally, in 6-foot segments; exactly the artist’s height). This should definitely be worth the Metro North ride (and like, a trip to IKEA!). It’s one of the few Bortolami ARTIST/CITY projects within the NYC metro area, so be sure not to miss it.

Heartbeat - Ethan Carter III x Adalynn Strowman

Heartbeat – Carrie Underwood

“I wanna feel it like a kick drum, beatin' faster in your chest. I wanna feel you holding onto me and make me hold my breath. You pull me closer, my head on your shoulder Baby, we won't need a song. We'll make a fallen star wish, one more slow kiss. What are we waiting on?”

Yours - Dominik Dijakovic x Skye Simmons

Yours – Russell Dickerson

“I was one in a hundred billion A burned out star in a galaxy. Just lost in the sky, wonderin' why, Everyone else shines out but me. But. I came to life when I first kissed you, The best me has his arms around you. You make me better than I was before, Thank God I'm yours.”

The Day Before You - Ridge Holland x Lyssa Hutchinson

The Day Before You – Rascal Flatts

“I was ready to settle for less than love And not much more. There was no such thing as a dream come true. But that was on the day before you. Now you're here and everything's changing.

Finally Home - Ari Levinson x Brianna Collier

Finally Home – Kerrie Roberts
