EARTH IS MISSING! / EVERYONE'S WORLD IS ENDING ALL THE TIME

this spring I entered the Elizabeth Soutar Bookbinding Competition held by the National Library of Scotland. The theme this year was climate change. I didn't win any of the categories (I certainly didn't think I'd win any of the Craft categories, but I thought I had a decent shot at the Creative categories) but I am very happy with how my binding came out anyway!

under the cut is the details of the binding and the process that went into it, plus a full list of the texts included.

this is a modified 3 piece bradel binding - a 3 piece bradel is usually made with leather spine with the spine attached to the textblock and the front and back covers added on after. there's another variety of a 3 piece bradel case where the spine and boards are assembled with a thin piece of paper to later be covered with a bookcloth. I wanted to use some leftover misprint cardstock I had (the same stuff I'd previously used to make paperbacks) and I wanted to print the titles directly onto the covers and spine (specifically I wanted to overprint the titles to imitate the existing misprint), and in order to fit it through my printer I had to have it in three pieces. so I assembled a bradel case as if it were to be covered with a cloth, only the cardstock I was using to assemble the case would also be the cover material.

everything I used to make this book was recycled or reused, with the exception of the greybeards which were new (I didn't have any rescued book boards from secondhand books at the time). the text paper is recycled eco-craft paper, the endbands are re-used macramé cords wrapped in green wrapping paper that came from a gift bag, and as mentioned, the cover material comes from a misprinted running sheet.

a few process photos of getting the case together:

in terms of content, I took care that not only should the binding fit the theme of climate change - by using recycled and reused materials - but the text inside should also fit the theme. there were a lot of considerations there because I could easily have just bought a copy of something like Greta Thunberg's speeches and rebound them, but I wanted the texts to be something that made sense to me. so I went and looked at the SFF magazines I read for climate fiction and essays, I looked for academic papers, and I looked on Gutenberg for older pulp fiction relating to climate change. once I had a selection of texts I pared them down to two categories, fiction and non-fiction, and decided the most fun way to bind them would be as a tête-bêche with fiction on one side and non-fiction on the other, and this then informed how the binding would physically turn out - the modified 3 piece bradel.

here is the full table of contents for each side of the book:

Birds of Prey (vol. 2) #2: Endrun, pt. 2 - The Rage of the White Canary

Read Date: January 09, 2023 Cover Date:August 2010 ● Writer: Gail Simone ● Penciler: Ed Benes ◦ Adriana Melo ● Inker: Ed Benes ◦ Mariah Benes ● Colorist: Nei Ruffino ● Letterer: Steve Wands ● Editor: Janelle Asselin ●

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● It's been a minute since I read issue 1. Argh, and there's no synopsis and I didn't take reaction notes back then. I'll just have to see if my memory gets jogged. ● (pg 2) I mean, these women all look great, but I can't help but think how unguarded their femoral arteries are considering their lives of fighting crime. Do you know how fast a person bleeds out from a wound to the femoral artery? Fast. ● Poor Penguin. I'm sure he'll be fine, though. ● this White Canary is cool as a cucumber

● Lethal hair accessories. Cool. ● Fishnets do look amazing, ngl. ● Oof, hopefully Dinah didn't lose any teeth there… ● Narrative: She's not Shiva. You never feel Shiva's emotions when she hits you. This lady seems to hate my guts. ~ curiouser and curiouser ● If looks could kill… ● Hawk and Dove are here along with Lady Blackhawk (I forgot she's from WWII and misplaced in time) ● Hawk didn't expect that… ● Hawk has a big handful of her hair, though. Is that why his name is Hank? Geddit? Hank … of hair… nevermind. Ahem. ● Meanwhile, Oracle hears a news bulletin about a Gregory Chasco dying of wounds apparently undetectable by medical science. ● Oops, the bulletin named "former Justice League member the Black Canary" is the cause of death. ● The Channel 8 chopper has eyes on Black Canary now ● Oracle yells in the intercom: "Black Canary! Quit fighting! Get out of there!" ● 12 squad cars and a police chopper are on the way. Oops. ● Before White Canary leaves, she says: "One of you will die every hour for the next six hours. You choose. Or I will." ● GCPD ain't playin'. ● Before they can decide on whether to be shot or to surrender, Penguin regains consciousness enough to tell the women weakly, "My place. Get us to my club. Safe there." ● Fight or flight? Canary chooses fight and unleashes her canary cry ● omg, Oswald has a facefull of Dove's tits and he's living for it 😂😂

● Oliver Queen was mayor of Star City? Huh. I'm not up-to-date on my Green Arrow lore. ● new person calling in to Oracle… Brian Durlan a.k.a. Savant a.k.a. Creote? ● the coloring of Oracle's eyes up close is gorgeous ● "Savant is dead, Oracle. He's dead." ● Oh, so this Creote is a different person. And he's blaming Savant's death on Oracle. ● Oh, fuuuu… I hope Barbara has a good therapist. ● Penguin needs a hospital ● "softly pillowy bosom" - hahah! ● the crew runs into a random tv set up in an alley, where another news bulletin has breaking news of Black Canary's true identity. Oh shit. ● is White Canary the child who was "abandoned"? That would explain some of the hatred… ● the girl's name is Sin and she was almost adopted by Black Canary ● Oracle: "I am the grid." Badass mode unlocked. I mean, she was always a badass. But now it's badderass. ● 👏👏👏👏

Synopsis: {none available… dammit}

MSO Play/Pause, Montréal

MSO Play/Pause, Canadian Performance Room, Quebec Home, Montréal Architecture Images

MSO Play/Pause in Montréal

Feb 16, 2021

Play/Pause

Design: Studio Jean Verville architectes

Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada

Architect Jean Verville explores a world where architecture, theatricality, and playfulness come together to imagine a hybrid proposal where sensory perceptions are called upon to transgress the limits of three-dimensional form, and where living spaces seem freed from their reality.

Throughout the process, the clients – creators and actors Sophie Cadieux and Mani Soleymanlou – through their creativity, their mastery of the collaborative dimension inseparable from theatrical work, and their talent for improvisation, adopt the architect’s playful approach with passion, rigor, and sensitivity. Assisted by his accomplice, architect Tania Paula Garza Rico, director of his eponymous studio, Verville creates whimsical staging, incorporating the presence of creature-allegories.

In front of the photographer’s lens, the architects and their clients engage in this exercise with enthusiasm, humor, and unpredictability. With this raw material, Verville performs digital manipulation to produce images that raise questions about the illusory banality of habitability.

« An extraordinary creative experience, from the first meeting to this final staging… I constantly giggle as I look back on that day! » Mani Soleymanlou

Adopting the creative universes of its occupants, their personalities, and their particular needs as the narrative scheme, the MSO project consists of a complete volumetric reconfiguration, making it possible to generate an artistic creation as well as a living space adapted to the daily reality of the two artists and their son. Inside a narrow house, located in a Montreal residential neighborhood, a scenographic promenade unfolds to the full height of the building.

Having to meet the needs of family life, but also subtracting them at times in order to create a work environment that strengthens concentration and creativity, the spatial reorganization conceals the functions in a succession of ordered volumes completed by ten scenic pauses. The central space, pierced by an openwork steel structure extending over twelve meters in height, abolishes the original hierarchy in a dynamic segmentation, while the monochromy of greige tones unites the whole into a monolithic entity.

« At every moment we discover something new, a new cut, a new line. It’s a tremendous gift. » Sophie Cadieux

« But where is my room? » Oscar

Aiming at an effective cohabitation of domestic and professional activities, permeability to family life, and a spatial distribution providing a level of individual privacy, the proposal takes advantage of decompartmentalization to consolidate the feeling of unification in its vertical deployment and to metamorphose the legibility of the whole.

To minimize alterations to the existing building, selective subtraction of floor areas frees the core of the space to accommodate the new vertical progression, gradually unfolding over the three floors of the house in a succession of ten versatile and multifunctional platforms. These ten scenic pauses establish a new spatial organization. The metallic structure, with perforated steel surfaces and walls, is juxtaposed with a series of stages and raised platforms – sometimes it offers a small scene, and sometimes a seat – to draw fluid limits that privatize spaces while creating visual porosity.

Meeting the requirement of functional adaptability while minimizing the need for furniture, the new system of spatial organization engages unusual interactions in order to facilitate the personal and creative appropriation of the sub-spaces it shapes. Fragmented by metal screens and low walls, and punctuated meandering, the scenic pauses offer new points of view in space and new perspectives on the presence of others. The imposing metal assemblage, which also consolidates the project’s structural integrity, is capped with a skylight, that measures 2.5 meters by 2.5 meters, which maximizes the natural light by diffusing it to the ground floor.

The light, filtered by the metal surfaces and walls, multiplies the projections of shadows cast to mark space with graphic lines, opposing their presence with the spatial boundaries, and offering a continual dance of geometric shadows that play on the monochrome canvas. Both refined and expressive, the proposal constitutes an assemblage that partitions volume and light in order to envelop the place in a mysterious aura contributing to the theatricality of the proposed experiment.

Jean Verville, Ph.D. art Architect and professor at the School of Architecture at Laval University, Jean Verville calls upon play, humor, and self-mockery in his professional practice as well as in his teaching approach. A playful creator, it is with apparent lightness and casualness that he presents his thoughts on relationships with domestic space, as well as on the role and capacity of architecture to transform everyday life.

Observing with amusement the impacts of popular culture, Verville invites individual appropriations that underline the attributes and omnipresence of architectural space. Celebrating the multiplicity of perceptions, his deliberately imperfect digital collages shape baroque fantasies where the discernment between architecture and personal imagination is disputed in order to evoke traces of childhood, like doubt about the veracity of images as well as the plausible banality of ordinary life.

SOUTHWICK, Mass. (The Westfield News) – At the Annual Town Meeting on May 16, voters in Southwick voted in favor of accepting the $1 million for the CPC (Community Preservation Committee) to use towards preserving North Pond.

While the $1 million helps North Pond supporters and Franklin Land Trust inch closer to officially preserving the property, there is still a good amount of money that needs to be raised.

The latest appraisal for the 144-acre North Pond property was estimated at about $5 million. According to Mary Lynn Sabourin, the Director of Philanthropy at Franklin Land Trust, around $3.1 million has been raised.

With a lot of the money raised being from grants and state funding, Sabourin emphasized just how important the vote was at the Annual Town Meeting.

“I think the vote at town meeting really told us that folks in town are finding this to be a really important project and they’re really getting behind it,” said Sabourin. “I think the momentum is really only going to increase from now until December.”

When talking about December, Sabourin is referring to the fact that Franklin Land Trust’s request to extend the deadline to raise the $5 million was accepted by the property owner. Franklin Land Trust and North Pond supporters have until December 31, 2017 to raise the last $1.9 million.

Sabourin noted that time isn’t being wasted as there are a number of fundraising events taking place all summer.

On June 2nd, there will be a Band Jam event at Crabby Joe’s Restaurant, starting at 6 p.m. This event consists of a spaghetti and meatball dinner costing $5, followed by live music from Steve Piper and Cold Shot. Organizers are also encouraging anyone in the community to bring their instrument and “jam” with the live entertainment. A $10 cover charge will be taken at the door, and all proceeds and raffles will be donated to Save North Pond.

“Folks should come out and enjoy the music, have a good time and know that they’re supporting North Pond,” said Sabourin.

The next opportunity to raise money brings people outside for the North Pond golf tournament on June 11 at Edgewood Golf Course.

The tournament starts at 1 p.m. with registration beginning at Noon. It costs $95 to play, which includes green fees, golf cart, prizes, and a buffet dinner. Some of the prizes include a car from Curry Honda if someone gets a hole-in-one, and also a prize to be named later for an individual who gets their ball the closest to the pin on a specific hole.

After the tournament has concluded, a dinner and a silent auction will occur at the Fox Den Restaurant.

Sabourin said that roughly $20,000 was raised at the last North Pond golf tournament in the fall, and the goal is to exceed that number.

People can register to play by calling the Franklin Land Trust office at 413-625-9151.

The last fundraising opportunity to note is still a work in progress. Bob Asselin, a Southwick resident and North Pond supporter, wants to have a food truck for the summer to raise money for North Pond.

Asselin said that the truck would be located right by Whalley Park on Hudson Drive, and is planning on having it open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Asselin is hoping to find 12 volunteers to run the food cart. If anyone is interested in volunteering, contact Asselin at 413-221-3019. All volunteers will then be required to take a one-day food safety course that is required by the Town of Southwick Health Department.

Asselin said that once the food cart is underway, the hope is to raise $1,000 a week towards Save North Pond.

Birds of Prey (vol. 2) #5: Aftershock, pt. 1 - Two Nights in Bangkok

Read Date: May 01, 2023 Cover Date:November 2010 ● Writer: Gail Simone ● Penciler: Alvin Lee ◦ Adriana Melo ● Inker: Jack Purcell ◦ J.P. Mayer ● Colorist: Nei Ruffino ● Letterer: Steve Wands ● Editor: Janelle Asselin ●

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● Creote and Savant are adorable in a… kind of scary way? ● I’m a sucker for moody silhouettes

● considering these women are bad-ass fighters, I doubt their fingernails would look so perfectly manicured… ● wow… Dinah went weird, fast ● 👏👏👏

Synopsis: Creote, Savant, and Oracle reach a touching understanding. Savant, just having found out that Creote loves him, hugs Creote while Oracle checks in with her team. Having just handcuffed White Canary, the Black Canary requests that Lady Blackhawk flies her to Thailand. However, Huntress informs them that Lady Blackhawk will not be flying anywhere tonight, after their recent battle. Oracle orders the release of the Penguin. Huntress does not like this idea, but Oracle promises that they will take him down later. Black Canary then announces that she is quitting the team. White Canary assures Black Canary that Sin will be safe "with them". The Huntress decides that she will be following Black Canary, however. Meanwhile, Oracle, Creote, and Savant head back to the newly-built Kord Towers - the Birds of Prey's new headquarters! The Canaries hop on a plane that White Canary had waiting and head off for Thailand. In the hospital, Hawk is healing up fast while Dove waits at his side. A dream of his brother, coupled with a mysterious note, may give Hawk the sense of purpose that he has been trying to find since coming back. Also in the hospital, Lady Blackhawk wakes up and Huntress fills her in on Black Canary's actions. They, of course, immediately leave for Thailand to find her. When they get there, they are greeted by a group of unfriendlies that tell them they were not invited by their mistress - Dinah!

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● Penguin is dreaming, isn’t he ● While Penguin has his wet dream, the rest of the Birds of Prey regroup. This is fresh after they all attacked police in order to escape and had Black Canary’s secret identity exposed to the media. ● Gregory Chasco, the kidnapper Black Canary took out in Iceland. Police there say he was hit with some sort of punch in the chest, some kind that makes the heart explode in a number of hours without leaving a mark. Dinah is one of the people who know this technique. ● Hawk is also trying to figure out how the woman they fought in the alley, how her blade cut his skin. ● A tank bursts into the lounge. Oracle didn’t hear them on police radio because the cops have gone rogue and will shoot to kill.

● Oracle is having trouble with the computers in the Batcave. The security has gone offline. ● Savant and Creote are in the Batcave with her somehow. They were both dead. ● Meanwhile, Penguin keeps drifting in and out of consciousness from blood loss. ● Hawk gets hit by a dart from their adversary in white and is hurt badly ● There’s a note on the dart reminding them that one of them dies every hour or innocent people die in their place ● Back at the Batcave, Oracle realizes the video feed in which she saw Savant and Creote die was a fake. As they carry Barbara out to the car, Savant tells her that he will expose everyone’s secrets. ● Dinah prepares to face the White Canary. She tells the rest of the Birds of Prey that she loves them. Huntress tells Dinah to kill her if she can. ● As Dinah fights her, she figures out who she is. But does she know who is funding all of this? ● Damn but Penguin looks evil in that last panel! ● 👏👏👏

Flash-back 2005: SAINTS-MARTYRS-DES-DAMNÉS de Robin Aubert

À l’approche de l’Halloween, il fait bon de voir ou revoir des films d’horreur, mais en ce qui a trait aux productions québécoises, les options sont assez limitées. Il y a bien sûr le phénoménal Les Affamés (notamment disponible sur Netflix), mais si vous voulez creuser plus loin, Robin Aubert signait il y a 15 ans un autre film de genre, Saints-Martyrs-des-Damnés. À moins de mettre la main sur un DVD, il semblerait que la meilleure option est de s’abonner à Cinépop, qui diffusera le film le jeudi 29 octobre à 4 h du matin. Il est aussi possible de regarder le film en tout temps à partir du menu Sur demande de votre télédistributeur

J’en profite pour partager l’entrevue que m’a accordée Robin avant la sortie du film, en octobre 2005.

SAINTS-MARTYRS-DES-DAMNÉS : VILLAGE FANTÔME

Bien que Saints-Martyrs-des-Damnés soit son premier long métrage, Robin Aubert n’est pas un nouveau venu derrière la caméra. Il a réalisé plusieurs courts (dont Lila, qui fut finaliste au gala des Jutra) et nombre de vidéoclips pour divers artistes (Mara Tremblay, Okoumé, Plume Latraverse). Aubert a aussi longtemps travaillé comme acteur: à la télévision, dans Radio-Enfer (aux côtés de François Chénier) et Temps dur; et au cinéma, dans Le Nèg’ et La Comtesse de Baton Rouge.

Aubert nous confie, à la fois touchant et cocasse au fil de l’entrevue: "On dit souvent qu’un acteur qui réalise, c’est un meilleur directeur d’acteurs; moi je ne trouve pas. Un bon réalisateur, c’est celui qui choisit les bonnes personnes, tout simplement. Bien diriger, c’est amener les acteurs dans le sentier que tu veux, mais en même temps, s’ils te proposent un autre sentier, il faut que tu sois à l’écoute aussi. Ce que j’aime comme auteur, c’est créer plusieurs personnages à la fois."

N’aviez-vous pas envie de jouer dans votre film?

"Vraiment pas, j’avais d’autres chats à fouetter. J’admire ceux qui sont capables de le faire, comme Woody Allen ou Clint Eastwood, mais moi, je ne suis pas rendu là. Il y a tellement de choses à penser. Quand je tournais, je passais la nuit à "rechecker" mon découpage pour le jour suivant, à retravailler mes dialogues… J’aurais pas eu le temps en plus d’apprendre mon texte et de jouer. Je suis pas une pieuvre, hostie!"

Vous parliez de l’importance de choisir les bons acteurs, est-ce que c’est la même chose pour l’équipe technique?

"C’est très important. Steve Asselin à la photo, David Pelletier, qui a fait les décors, et Julie Charland, qui a fait les costumes, ont travaillé avec moi en court métrage et en vidéoclip. Ils connaissent ma vision et savent ce que j’aime. Avant même de tourner, ça faisait déjà un an qu’on travaillait sur les décors, les costumes… Je trouve que dans le cinéma québécois et le cinéma en général, on a l’impression que tout le monde sort de chez Gap ou Simons, ça a jamais été délavé. Crisse, mettez un peu de vie, faut que ça soit sale. Le monde parle dans un décor d’IKEA, tabarnak, c’est quoi ça?"

Dans Saints-Martyrs-des-Damnés, un reporter (Chénier) et un photographe (Patrice Robitaille) sont envoyés par un journal à sensation dans un village étrange où les disparitions mystérieuses se multiplient depuis des années. Offrant peu de repères au spectateur, le film sort littéralement des sentiers battus.

Aubert poursuit: "Pour moi, c’est important de créer un effet d’intemporalité, qu’on ne sache pas en quelle année on est. Il n’y a pas de références ancrées dans la réalité. Je dis aux spectateurs: regardez, vous embarquez dans un trip. Vous avez le choix d’embarquer ou non. L’intemporalité, ça me permet d’aller plus loin aussi dans l’imaginaire, puis de parler de clonage, disons, sans tomber dans le côté scientifique."

L’idée du clonage vous a-t-elle été inspirée par les avancements de la science?

"Non, ça provient plus du fantastique. En écrivant, un autre gars pareil à l’autre est apparu à un moment donné. Qu’est-ce qu’il fait là, lui? Même en tant qu’auteur, je ne le savais pas; j’écrivais beaucoup avec le subconscient. Une fois le scénario fini, je suis allé étudier des documents pour m’aider. Mais ce n’est pas un film sur le clonage, c’est un film sur l’identité, c’est une quête spirituelle."

Il y a beaucoup de changements de ton, ça passe du très sérieux à des moments plus drôles.

"La vie, c’est comme ça. Et puis, il n’y a rien de plus le fun que d’entendre rire dans une salle ou de voir le monde sauter tous en même temps. C’est bon aussi de leur faire se poser des questions, de les toucher… Je suis sûr qu’il y en a qui auraient mieux aimé continuer dans le côté horreur, mais ce n’est pas juste un film de peur pour moi."

En effet, le film est vraisemblablement à son meilleur lors des scènes d’amour avec le personnage d’Isabelle Blais.

"Je suis un romantique, je ne le cacherai pas. Mes influences, c’est Démétan, Albator, puis Candy. Pour moi, le cinéma doit évoquer aussi la poésie. Il faut que ça exprime quelque chose, comme quand tu rêves ou quand tu fais l’amour."

C’est cette volonté de brouiller les limites entre les genres qui fait de Saints-Martyrs-des-Damnés plus qu’une version grand écran de Grande Ourse ou un sous-Twin Peaks. Sous ses allures grotesques et fantastiques, le film se révèle très humain et personnel. Alors qu’on y retrouve des échos de Lynch, d’Argento, de Cronenberg et même de Rimbaud ("Je me crois en enfer, donc j’y suis"), on découvre surtout en Robin Aubert un cinéaste qui nous réserve sûrement bien d’autres surprises.
