ROUGH DRAFT January 1999 Issue #148 http://www.zpub.com/caco email: [email protected] phone: (415) 665-0351 ROUGH DRAFT is the official organ of the San Francisco Cacophony Society, which is a randomly gathered network of free spirits devoted to the pursuit of experiences beyond the pale of mainstream society. We are pranksters, poets, freaks and fools, dogged seekers of the strange and connoisseurs of the bizarre. We are wise children and wise asses, dreamers, displaced extraterrestrials, unemployed artists, urban necromancers, underground performers and inspired game players. We are the termites in society's crutches and the bad egg at the corporate picnic. We are a roving pack of naughty Santas, a virtual circus filled with mischievous clowns. We are a semipermeable collective of free radicals, nattering nihirealists. diehard disinhibitors and dangling participants. We are organized anarchist infiltrators of the status quo, exposing minds to alternative realities. We are the punctuation at the end of hypothetical sentences, words in prose of technological satire, and grammarians of absurdist syntax. We are that fringe element which is always near the edge of reason. We are the bon vivants of industrial despair, mixing Hammet and Pynchon with Wilde abandon. We are creative social terrorists and late- night reality hackers, carving out temporary autonomous zones within the real estate of modem culture. Our numbers are most prominent in the flat edge of the Bell curve. We are the rapidly evolving mutants of the next millennium. You may already be a member!

Petrone Swimming against the current since 1994. http://laughingsquid.com/santa/ Santarchy in NYC Around !Opm on Ihc night of December 1 1 . Friday. I had my first meeting with the Santas. We met at a hole-in-the-wall called Barmancy. located a convenient 4 blocks from my hostess Gecko's apartment. \\c stayed at Barmanc> until around 1 1, when we began the rampage. The Hast Village area that Barmancy is located in is full of little trendy-kwking restauranLs with big windows and crowded 10pm Friday night tables. Walking past those places made me reali/e jasl h(n\ much of an impact one hundred Santas can have on people People were staring, slack-jawed, and then gnnning like idiots when we just kepi coming I especially liked watching the single person who had noticed us at a full table tr> lo convmcc their friends to turn around. Fridaj night was pretty uneventful, compared to Salurda>. We marched through the East areas, several Village and the surrounding stoppmg at bars. We stopped for doughnuts (honestly, the best doughnuts 1 have ever had in my life). At one point, we all crowded into a local Santa's apartment. At another, we were forgiven the $5 cover at a club that played live slam- dancin' music. The night ended around 3am. when we had lost about half of everyone and were dragging our feet. Saturday started a little early, for people had been up until or so. convened al at who 3am We noon, Smith's, a huge diner-style place near Times Square. 1 was a little late, so I didn't cat anything, in the fear that 1 wouldn't have enough time to cat before we left. That fear turned out lo be unfounded, since we stayed for another hour or so, but it gave me a lot of lime to talk to people. Mosl of the Santas were from San Francisco (enough money from geek jobs lo fly out to NYC on a whim) and Brooklyn (K)cal), but there was one woman from Seattle, one guy from Chicago, and a whopping nine people from 13elroil, 1 was the onl> one from Denver. 1 have to admit, Salurda> kind of blurred together in nn mind, so 1 can't claim this histor> is exactly correct. If 1 left anything out, correct me. After Smith's, we tried to go into an adult video plaza with viewing booths, but were denied. During Ihe commotion of "where are we going?", we met the Real Santa. Apparentl>, this guy lives in ne<u-by NJ and was visiting N^'C for the weekend. He was having lunch with his wife down the street when someone told him abt>ul our mangy group. Being the jolly old fellow himself, he wandered down lo see if he could share some of our cheer. If there's a real Santa, this gu> was it! We marched through Times Square, lemporanlj joining a small protest aimed at gelling China out of Mongolia. We liwk that time to sing a few Naughty Santa songs ("l>>n we now our rubber panties, fa la la etc, we're a bunch of twisted Sanlies, fa la la etc.") and slaple together our own protest signs. After a short jaunt through the Disney Store ('Thank you for sharing the Spirit in this si>ecial way, but could you please not hand things out in the store?"), we headed down to l!N Plaza for our own protest. "Make loys Not War!" and "Don'l I'ouch M> Pole" cried the signs we carried. Our protest had only barelj gotten underway when wc were hurriedlj removed by the police. They urgently needed lo know what we were protesting; when wc protested that we were just Santa (collective!), Ihey asked us to quickly leave. Now. Santa Cons of Ihe past have had quite a bit of trouble with the local lav\ enforcement. Since most of Cacopht)ny is native to places pretty far from the east coast, we were a little unsure of how the N^ CPD would lake to a bunch of red-and-white rabble-rousers. Well, surprises can be good as well as bad, we found out. The police seemed lo enjoy us (with the exception of the ITS') as much as anyone else, even allowing us to lake pictures with them. After a stop at a local Irish pub (".A sober Santa is a sad Santa") for refueling, we headed to that street of dreams. Fifth Avenue. For those of ytm who have never been lo or heard about Fifth Avenue, it is the capital of expensive shopping and working streets in the US. It is Macy's and Neiman Marcus. It is towering office buildings and four-story department stores. Above all, it is crowded, lor Denver, the only comparison would be if the droves heading out of a Broncos game all decided lo go to l.arimcr Square at the same lime. There were so many people that there was one traffic cop at each corner It) regulate the pedestrian masses. One of the strangest things about New \'ork is that people seem to keep cameras with Ihem at all times. Now . 1 take my camera when 1 know I'm going somewhere cool, but the rest of the time, it slays home. New ^'tirkers don't seem lo share my practices: one in five locals seemed lo produce cameras from out of nowhere to snap photos of us. During the Fifth Avenue part of our lour, we posed, primped, and generally acted the picture turkeys that we are.

  • Affinities: a Journal of Radical Theory, Culture, and Action
    Journal Editors’ Introduction RICHARD J.F. DAY and SARITA SRIVASTAVA Please join us in celebrating the first issue of Affinities: a Journal of Radical Theory, Culture, and Action. Our hope is that this journal will be a space where conversations and shared projects among academic, activist, and artistic communities can flourish. Many of us are simultaneously academics, activists and artists; however, there are few spaces where these connections are acknowledged and cultivated. This issue, on Autonomous Spaces, begins the kind of inquiry we hope to see continue in this journal. How are activists, academics and artists crossing the historical boundaries of progressive politics, identities and theories? What are the common paths of groups, movements, communities, and peoples engaged in challenging and creating sustainable alternatives to state and corporate forms? What are the inequalities and forms of oppression that trouble these experiments? We are committed to publishing both academic and activist writing on these and other questions, as well as other forms of cultural production. Starting a new journal is a tremendous amount of work, and we owe many thanks to members of the editorial board for their guidance in setting up the policies and practices of the journal, to Sean Haberle for his organizational help, to Kevin Stranack, Mohamed Abdou, and especially Eric de Domenico, for their work on the website, layout, and design. We would also like to acknowledge the contributions of Enda Brophy, who has put together an excellent cast of contributors on the topic of autonomous spaces, and has been a tireless and joyful co-worker. And finally, we must thank all the contributors to this inaugural issue – their diverse contributions on autonomous spaces have helped to make Affinities the kind of space we had envisioned.

  • The Performance Culture of Burning Man
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE PERFORMANCE CULTURE OF BURNING MAN Wendy Ann Clupper, PhD, 2007 Directed By: Dr. Franklin J. Hildy, Department of Theatre and Performance Studies Theatre in the United States for the last twenty years has been evolving in scope by way of a cultural phenomenon known as Burning Man. In 2006, this festival attracted over forty thousand participants to the Black Rock Desert in Northwestern Nevada to a flat dusty Playa surrounded by mountain ranges. While the natural environment there is hostile, the creative atmosphere is welcoming and invites a broad scope of performative behaviors and genres to be exhibited there, the entire week the festival takes place. Make-shift stages and theme camps, as well as large- scale interactive art pieces play host to participants who dress up in fanciful costumes to perform in all manner of imagining. This dissertation maps out the cultural terrain of Burning Man in order to explain how performing there is form of identity-making and cultural commodity. As one of a handful of North American festivals which expressly discourage commercialism and commodification, theatricality takes the place of significance for entertainment and communication. Performance forms of all kinds historically are represented at Burning Man and this dissertation will investigate and theorize how a new performance culture has emerged from the festival itself and by its presence as a theatrical event, has exposed and expanded performance and theatre forms. This dissertation offers a critical framework through which to consider performance and performers within the Burning Man community as applied to Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of Carnival and the Schema for Theatrical Eventness proposed by the International Federation for Theatre Research Theatrical Events Working Group.

  • 'Outlaw' Bicycling
    ‘Outlaw’ Bicycling CHRIS CARLSSON [In] this bike subculture there’s no person who is the best, who is winning, or getting the most money. It’s a pretty equal community in that everyone can excel, but not have to be the top dog... (Robin Haevens) 1 A funny thing happened during the last decade of the 20 th century. Paralleling events that transpired a century earlier, a social movement emerged based on the bicycle. This so-called movement is far from a unified force, and unlike the late 19 th century bicyclists, this one does not have a ready demand for “good roads” to rally around. Instead, “chopper” bike clubs, nonprofit do-it-yourself repair shops, monthly Critical Mass rides, organized recreational and quasi- political rides and events, and an explosion of small zines covering every imaginable angle of bicycling and its surrounding culture, have proliferated in most metropolitan areas. Month-long “Bikesummer” festivals have occurred in cities around North America since 1999, galvanizing bicyclists across the spectrum into action and cooperation. This curious, multifaceted phenomenon constitutes an important arena of autonomous politics. The bicycle has become a cultural signifier that begins to unite people across economic and racial strata. It signals a sensibility that stands against oil wars and the environmental devastation wrought by the oil and chemical industries, the urban decay imposed by cars and highways, the endless monocultural sprawl spreading outward into exurban zones. This new bicycling subculture stands for localism, a more human pace, more face-to-face interaction, hands-on technological self-sufficiency, reuse and recycling, and a healthy urban environment that is friendly to self-propulsion, pleasant smells and sights, and human conviviality.

Curator of this retrospective is Executive Director and Curator of Pro Arts Gallery, Natalia Ivanova Mount. SIGNMAN: JOHN LAW PRESS RELEASE 2 FUN, 2010 Mixed media/neon - wood, metal, glass, transformers. 14’ x 4.5’ SIGNMAN: John Law will feature original works, spanning the last four decades of Law’s art practice. As part of this exhibit, visitors will encounter rare documentation of events, pranks and actions by seminal art and culture movements of the past; neon sculptures; photography; and multi-media installations. “John’s work offers tales from the underground that challenge our contemporary moment, characterized by a zombie like addiction to social media, weakened ability and will to gather, explore and wonder informally,” says curator of the retrospective Natalia Ivanova Mount. We need the rituals of the underground today more than ever so we can imagine the world beyond capitalism, beyond commodification, and the menial production of objects and ideas in an art world, beholden to a market value.
