On January 2, 2020, Trump ordered an airstrike that killed Qasem Soleimani and several others. Iran has vowed to retaliate. Hundreds of thousands, if not over a million people, took to the streets in Iran to mourn the loss of their general and express their hatred of America. Lucio Pozzi’s image directly asks us to choose between violence and love. How prescient is his piece, which was received two months ago? When I invited Peggy Cyphers to guest-edit the Valentine’s Issue, #134, it was with a specific idea in mind. The issue would be a visual valentine that would celebrate love from the perspective of those artists invited to participate. We took a stab at this project last year and decided to postpone until 2020. It is a real challenge for a work of art to stand on its own merit in a publication of any kind without the written word to provide content and context. The work itself needs to be very good in order to succeed in a stark print medium. Each artist included in the magazine has their own definition of love. Some are humorous, some are ephemeral, some are clear to every viewer, some need time for the meaning to be revealed. A favorite is the Brenda Zlamany portrait of a young girl and her dog. I experienced the joy of living with a pack of six large dogs, all rescues, for fourteen years. Dogs are love. The last time I made a painting was in 1999. The piece was a watercolor, entitled "Madonna of the Woods," and had to do with my leaving Manhattan for a life in the country, immersed in nature. It was around that time that I came to the conclusion that it was better for me to use the skills that I had to do something positive in the world rather than make more objects of any kind. How much of one’s self goes into any given piece of art? Do these works truly reflect their creators? Do they add something of value to the world? Do they express LOVE? Was enough care and consideration given in the making of this particular version of the magazine? To some, it might look like a hodgepodge, reflecting what is going on around us. How much have we invested here? Our world frays at the seams and inside its core. No doubt my words will annoy some contributors and readers of this issue, but I would rather be controversial than complacent. The world hangs in the balance for each of us in 2020. The ability to discern truth and quality is be- ing chipped away at on a daily basis. Donald Trump, a one-time politician, “knows better” than past presidents Bush and Obama. He went ahead and actually did what others before him avoided doing. He attacked Iran and killed one of their top leaders. It is inspiring to see that leading art institutions in America have come together to address Donald Trump’s threat to destroy cultural centers in Iran. This constitutes a crime against humanity and would alter our artistic landscape throughout history forever. Where is our moral outrage? Apparently, we have not had enough bloodshed and destruction. We have no choice but to carry on. The works by Suzanne Anker and Terra Keck on the end pages of this issue remind me of the Death card in the Tarot. Out of Death there always comes a new beginning. The promise of Spring is upon us in February. Can we all promise ourselves to do better? Pay more attention? Care more? My thanks go to Peggy Cyphers for taking on Issue #134 and for putting up with me. I am only get- ting worse with age. Thank you, Naomi Rosenblatt, for your design skills. I would like to thank all of the contributing artists for their works of art and Stephen Paul Miller for his poetry. LUCIO POZZI WITH HASAN ALMASI, COURTESY OF UNSPLASH Or Love 6 ISSUE 134 VALENTINE 7 VALENTINE PEGGY CYPHERS, Guest Editor This issue of New Observations, in honor of Valentine’s Day, is devoted to love in its many forms.

  • Poesia E Musica, Storia Di Un Incontro
    28/7/2018 quaderni d'altri tempi LETTURE / The Mantis – for Cecil Taylor – 1966-2009 – The collected pomes di Steve Dalachinsky Poesia e musica, storia di un incontro di Erika Dagnino Steve Dalachinsky, poeta contemporaneo dell’area newyorkese attivo sulla scena free jazz collaborando con musicisti tra cui William Parker, Susie Ibarra, Matthew Shipp, Roy Campbell, Mat Maneri, Federico Ughi, ha recentemente pubblicato la raccolta The Mantis – for Cecil Taylor – 1966-2009 – The Collected Pomes. È lo stesso Dalachinsky nelle Confessions of a Free Jazz ‘Cultist’, rilasciate alla scrivente (tradotte con Marco Bertoli), ad esporre il percorso artistico e di vita che l’ha portato all’incontro con Cecil Taylor e all’inscindibilità tra parola e musica. – CONFESSIONS OF A FREE JAZZ ‘CULTIST’ – Sono nato a Brooklyn poco tempo dopo l’ultima grande Guerra e sono riuscito a sopravvivere a molte piccole guerre (c’è forse nascosta una lezione, qui?) e dato che attualmente guerre, seppure più piccole, congiurano a determinare le nostre vite, mi sento frustrato da gente sempre schierata. C’è solo un unico partito pro-life (non nel senso fondamentalista cristiano, nel senso di ‘sovvenziona il malato di mente’ – fund-a-mental – Dalachinsky), ed è tutta la vita, ogni cosa che è riuscita a sopravvivere quanto me su questo globo vivente, anch’esso in costante lotta per la vita. Ok, basta. Ora “Il poema della mia vita” – musica. Un critico di musica del New York Times ora in pensione, una volta mi descrisse come un Free Jazz Cultist. E un compositore e saxofonista famoso in città chiamò me e mia moglie, con cui sono sposato da trent’anni e che fortunatamente condivide la mia passione per l’arte e come me è poeta e artista visuale, Jazz Snobs.

  • NY ACKER Awards Is Taken from an Archaic Dutch Word Meaning a Noticeable Movement in a Stream
    1 THE NYC ACKER AWARDS CREATOR & PRODUCER CLAYTON PATTERSON This is our 6th successful year of the ACKER Awards. The meaning of ACKER in the NY ACKER Awards is taken from an archaic Dutch word meaning a noticeable movement in a stream. The stream is the mainstream and the noticeable movement is the avant grade. By documenting my community, on an almost daily base, I have come to understand that gentrification is much more than the changing face of real estate and forced population migrations. The influence of gen- trification can be seen in where we live and work, how we shop, bank, communicate, travel, law enforcement, doctor visits, etc. We will look back and realize that the impact of gentrification on our society is as powerful a force as the industrial revolution was. I witness the demise and obliteration of just about all of the recogniz- able parts of my community, including so much of our history. I be- lieve if we do not save our own history, then who will. The NY ACKERS are one part of a much larger vision and ambition. A vision and ambition that is not about me but it is about community. Our community. Our history. The history of the Individuals, the Outsid- ers, the Outlaws, the Misfits, the Radicals, the Visionaries, the Dream- ers, the contributors, those who provided spaces and venues which allowed creativity to flourish, wrote about, talked about, inspired, mentored the creative spirit, and those who gave much, but have not been, for whatever reason, recognized by the mainstream.
