Childish Things: Exhibition, Edinburgh Fruitmarket Cur. David Hopkins

Susan Hiller, An Entertainment, 1990

Susan Hiller (1940-2019) is a US-born, British conceptual artist who lived in London, United Kingdom. Her practice spanned a range of media including installation, video, photography, painting, sculpture, performance, artist's books and writing. A key figure in British art, she was best known for her innovative large-scale multimedia installations, and for works that took as their subject matter aspects of culture that were overlooked, marginalised, or disregarded.

'An Entertainment' is comprised of a video and sound installation including four synchronised recordings of scenes from ‘Punch and Judy’ puppet shows. The video is purposefully edited to expose the domestic abuse masquerading as children’s entertainment.

Jeff Koons, Bear and Policeman, 1988

Jeff Koons (1955) is an American artist recognized for his work dealing with popular culture and his sculptures depicting everyday objects, including balloon animals produced in stainless steel with mirror-finish surfaces.

In 'Bear and Policeman', an object that might be found in a childs bedroom is enlarged to be life-sized and is no longer confined to a shelf, but now looms over the viewer and his companion - a policeman. 

"The relatively diminutive constable, a symbol of authority, contrasts comically with the bear's monstrous size and relative harmlessness. Looking helplessly up at the bear, the expression on the policeman's face holds the key to enjoying Koons' work: a temporary suspension of adulthood, a return to seeing the world through a child's perspective. Koons seems to hint that the adult world, with its explicit content, greed and shame, is worth staving off." - Angelina Krahn, Art writer 

Robert Gober, Playpen, 1986

Robert Gober (1954) is an American sculptor. His work is often related to domestic and familiar objects such as sinks, doors, and legs. 

In 'Playpen', the work is remade from an object from his childhood. Ironically the playpen contains no toys to play with and does not intrinsically look like an object designed for playing in. Represents both a prison and a safe haven, a historic artefact and an entire world for a child

Louise Bourgeois, Oedipus, 2003

Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) was a French-American artist best known for her large-scale sculpture and installation art. Bourgeois was also a prolific painter and printmaker.

The work was inspired by a statue in Bourgeois’ school. The artist’s fascination began with her misunderstanding of its meaning ‘i know they thought it portrayed the good daughter helping her blind father. However, whenever I saw the sculpture it looked to me like the incestuous father hitting upon his daughter and therefore an odd choice for a girl’s school’. The artist's rendition in fabric relates to her childhood, growing up with a family who restored tapestries and was drawn to the story of Oedipus and Freud’s theories because of her own family conflicts.

the rude roommate

There’s a presence following us everywhere. Insinuating itself into our lives, as we enjoy movies, TV shows and music. This rude roommate not only lives with us, but follows us to school, to work and everywhere else that we go, constantly blathering to wear us down. Posing as an indulgent pal, it offers tasty treats, with “go on, you’re worth it!” encouragements. Then, morphing into the concerned friend, it chides us “you’re getting some love handles there, buddy!” and pushes snake oil for that too. Yes, I’m talking about the shifting personas of ADVERTISING. 

You don’t truly notice the ever-present & manipulative jibber jabber of advertising till it’s not a part of your life. It’s like cigarette smoking in this. I was raised by on-again-off-again smokers, and for many years worked in offices permeated by ever present cigarette smoke. Soaking in it everywhere for my entire life, it was only upon moving to California (where it’d just been banned) that I truly became aware of smoking. After living smoke-free, I couldn’t believe the stench when visiting places that still allowed it in communal spaces. My own hair & clothes reeked of it, even though I didn’t smoke myself. Bleurgh!

Likewise, after soaking in advertising my entire life, I’ve only recently lived in a (relatively) ad-free bubble, enjoying media streaming services at home for the last few years. We just watched a movie in a cinema for the first time since 2019. Tickets were almost 20 dollars each for comfortable reserved seating in a beautiful theatre. Then we had to endure 30 minutes of constant advertising blather before the film. Not movie trailers mind you, but ads for clothes, soft drinks and so on. After living ad-free, this was excruciating, and eye-opening. Absence had not made my heart grow fonder. Quite the opposite.

The deal used to be that we tolerated the buzz of ads - like blowflies at a picnic - in exchange for free movies & music (on radio & TV). Nowadays, I pay extra for the ad-free option with entertainment media. Which is a blackmail shakedown - “Pay us, or you have to watch another incontinence commercial” - but at least I understand the terms of that arrangement. I don’t understand (or accept) any deal where I pay AND get ads too (which is why I didn’t have cable TV for very long). If theatres want us to come back en masse after the stay-at-home-years of covid, then making the experience special is key. For me, paying premium prices to watch Madison Avenue Punch & Judy shows is an absolute no no. 

Advertising is RUDE. The constant interruptions are simply annoying, but the purpose of the messages is insidious. In our real lives we are wary of people who constantly broadcast their own PR, because they’re trying to manipulate our perceptions of them. We must be on extra high alert for those who tell us what we are, because they’re trying to manipulate our own perceptions of ourselves.These are the goals of advertising’s trillion dollar industry. It is a nonstop psyop, fanning our hopes and inflaming our insecurities for profit.

“The spectacle of advertising creates images of false beauty so suave and so impossible to attain that you will hurt inside and never even know where the hurt comes from.” - Robert Montgomery

Ever since humans first gathered around fires and hearths, we’ve related to each other via stories. Stories are ‘lies’, in that many of them are 100% made up, but we know that and sharing them is fun. Besides, there may actually be a truth within the story. A parable. However, the human love of stories makes us vulnerable to manipulation by stories too. This is well known on Madison Avenue. Advertising subverts the parable, where the parable’s ‘moral’ has been substituted with a plug for Brand-X. 

It used to be that everyone was served the exact same ads at the same time, but we now live in the era of micro-targeted advertising. After sneakily looking through our private data, the rude roommate can now identify & hammer on each of our specific ‘problem areas’. Despite my attempts at internet ad-blocking, the rude roommate has a fairly accurate demographic profile of me, and websites I visit now display ads of male middle aged losers, worried about their dicks, bald spots, love handles & baggy eyes. The rude roommate has custom-curated these parables just for moi. If advertising was indeed your roommate, an actual person, they’d be the worst person you know. A passive aggressive, gaslighting master manipulator, and the last person you’d want constantly whispering in your ear. 

“People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. — They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.” - Banksy

 “Narrative” has become a buzz word, and Hollywood folk (including story artists) now give story seminars to big companies. Wall Street, Langley, & Silicon Valley understand the appeal of storytelling, and Washington & Whitehall both use Spin Doctors to “get ahead of the story" and "control the narrative". The NSA & CIA know a little about narrative manipulation too, and even they are wary of internet advertising propaganda, and use ad-blocking software. Takes one to know one, right? Speaking of that, my own growing allergy to advertising is surely punishment for years of participation in the mass hypnosis. Yes, at one time I enabled the rude roommate, by animating parables that enticed kids to eat sugar bombs for breakfast..

Mea culpa!

Given that advertising so often subverts artforms, artists have been known to return the favour.  B.U.G.A.U.P. was a collective of Sydney graffiti artists active in the 1970s/80s who specifically targeted advertising, very active when I lived in that city. Their special brandalism defaced advertising billboards to subvert the intended message of the ad, revealing the hidden truth of the unhealthy product itself. These wittily-defaced billboards on commuter routes in Sydney were talking points at office coffee pots & tea urns each morning.

Their movement spread to other cities in Australia and even to other countries (I often wondered whether Banksy knew about them) and B.U.G.A.U.P. activism ultimately led to a ban on cigarette advertising in Australia in 1994. Advertising’s corrupted parables RE-made into truth telling parables again. Utterly brilliant.

19 miles from the nearest coast stands a pier like no other - Glastonbury-On-Sea

You can almost smell the sea breeze and hear the seagulls as you stand on the 60 meter-long structure that overlooks the entire festival.

A relatively recent addition, the pier was added in 2019, designed by Hastings born artist Joe Rush, with Michael Eavis signing off on the idea based on the knowledge it would have a Punch & Judy Show.

But there is so much more than puppet shows - a robotic band, bingo, fortune telling, the list goes on. All the fun of the seaside without the risk of a seagull stealing your chips.

#18 Judy and Punch (2019) - movie review

This movie reads like a fairytale. Husband and wife are having a great life, husband has a drinking problem, husband kills baby and almost kills wife, wife realises her husband (and her community) is FUBAR and goes on an epic tale of vengeance. What makes it awesome, though, is the inclusion of the familiar elements from the eponymous Punch and Judy show, taking the recurring motif of Punch hitting everyone and everything with his slapstick to make them bend to his whimsy, to its realistic, inevitable conclusion.

Punch, played by Damon Herriman (whom I had to look up because his features are just a touch reminiscent of the puppet’s hooked nose and elongated chin), is the tortured (torturing) artist, who believes he’s the greatest puppeteer of his time. His wife Judy, played by Mia Wasikowska (very awesome and very pretty), is the real star of the show, touching up the puppets, getting the coin, and taking care of the baby. The aspects of her personality that we do not pick up, like her dazzling skill with puppetry, are highlighted with the inclusion of a foil character in the second act, making Judy even more badass.

In true Punch fashion, he uses dizzyingly violent turns of phrase, threatening to bash people’s faces off if they don’t acquiesce to his fancies. He bends to the booze, resulting in the spousal abuse and baby death you see in the trailer. Judy is then found by a bunch of outcasts in the woods, having some of the few wholesome moments in the movie, before giving her husband an ending befitting of his crimes.

It’s a movie appropriate for our era, with modern colloquialisms peppered in, and electro/synth versions of classical pieces used for the soundtrack. The set design is gorgeous, and you can really see the grime and filth that was so present in those days. The movie also feels like it’s in a weird position in terms of timeline, because some of the extras aren’t white but there’s no talk of racism; people of color are present in both the vile town and the gathering of outcasts. It made the movie seem somewhat timeless, like the director had expressed in an interview.

The humor, too, was… interesting. I admit: I didn’t find it as funny as it was intended to be; it felt more satirical grimace-y than genuinely laugh-out-loud funny. Maybe that was intentional as well, showing the audience just how disturbing the original play was. The last scene was very, very nice.

However, I did feel that the gothic of puppetry and gore could have been pushed much further. The movie was nowhere as violent as I expected it to be (to be fair, I was expecting something like Sweeney Todd), with most of the gore being off-screen. This squarely shifts it from horror to comedy/thriller/historical fiction, which wasn’t a bad thing at all. Judy’s puppetry skills are highlighted time and again, but I felt its non-literal, subtle meaning could have been explored much more.

Some of the original elements of the show, like the executioner and the constable, were executed (ha) well. However, elements like the crocodile and the Devil felt like they were shoehorned in just to provide an ‘aha’ moment, making their inclusion feel weak and unsubstantiated. I was also looking for more banter between Punch and Judy, both as a nod to the original show and to show a taste of what their relationship once was before it fragmented and fractured. The plot element of the outcasts also could have been taken much further, with subtle references building up about how the people missing in the community actually harmed their way of life.

Overall, it’s a good movie–considering it’s a debut by Mirrah Foulkes, it’s a damn fine one. The fairytale elements were well and present, and it’s surprisingly satisfying to see Judy actually get back at her husband for 350 years of spousal abuse and negligent parenting. The actors are fine and vile. Special shout-out to the constable, played by Benedict Hardie, who has the most adorable characterisation. Movies like these make me wonder how this is the only film recorded in Wikipedia as being inspired by/portraying the story of Punch and Judy, because of the sheer potential and timelessness of such a narrative and such characters. That’s the way to do it.

Judy & Punch dir. Mirrah Foulkes (2019)

In the anarchic town of Seaside, nowhere near the sea, puppeteers Judy and Punch are trying to resurrect their marionette show. The show is a hit due to Judy’s superior puppeteering but Punch’s driving ambition and penchant for whisky lead to a inevitable tragedy that Judy must avenge.
