  1. Decay and Desire / bb15 x AMRO / Exhibition Opening & Artist Guided Tour

    bb15 – space for contemporary art, Thursday, May 14 at 05:00 PM GMT+2

    Decay and Desire
    bb15 x
    AMRO Festival

    The exhibition is part of AMRO26 - Art Meets Radical Openness Festival, which will take place in Linz from 13 to 16 May 2026.

    Exhibition Opening & Artist Guided Tour on Thursday 14th May at 17:00
    (Soft opening 14th May at 10:00)
    Opening hours: 14. – 16. Mai 2026 | (Opening hours: Everyday, 10:00-19:00)

    18. – 22. Mai 2026 | (Opening hours: Tue-Sat, 15:00-18:00)

    Two immersive installations by jiawen uffline and by Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan from Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory blur nature's irrational forces with institutional critique and artivism. Both works invite visitors to participate in order to activate them. The exhibition explores ideas of communication and sustainability and create a parallel realm where visitors gain agency.

    The works in the exhibition connect questions of interaction, maintenance and yearning with nature as medium, as channel of transmission, and as a site through which existing structures can be transferred into subversive and irrational forms.

    Exhibiting artists: Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan (Ljudmila) & jiawen uffline

  3. "AIPAC, the hard-line pro-Israel lobbying organization that once commanded bipartisan fealty, has increasingly become a boogeyman in Democratic circles, with scores of candidates distancing themselves from the group":

  4. An Aeon essay through one of my favourite subjects: subversive literature, and whether it is actually subversive, by Charlie Ericson.

    aeon.co/essays/feel-the-burn-h

    He discusses #Dante and #Milton, and a contemporary poet, Shane McCrae, and makes a distinction between subversion and #revolution.

    It go me thinking about how literature's role in renewing #perception might transcend both of these.

  5. I don't remember when exactly I read my first comic book, but I do remember exactly how liberated and subversive I felt as a result.

  7. A quotation from Henry Commager

       What happens when a state tries to purge its state universities or a community tries to purge its public schools of alleged subversives? […] What happens is the demoralization and eventual corruption of the school system.
       This is not a momentary or even temporary affair; it is something the consequences of which may be felt for years. The search for subversives results in the intimidation of the independent, the original, the imaginative, and the experimental-minded. It discourages independence of thought in teachers and students alike. It discourages the reading of books that may excite the suspicion of some investigator or some Legionnaire. It discourages the discussion of controversial matters in the classroom, for such discussion may be reported, or misreported, and cause trouble. It creates a situation where first-rate minds will not go into teaching or into administration and where students therefore get poor teaching.
       In the long run it will create a generation incapable of appreciating the difference between independence of thought and subservience. In the long run it will create a generation not only deprived of liberty but incapable of enjoying liberty.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1953-02-21), “Is Freedom Really Necessary?” Saturday Review

  12. Per #Perplexity:

    The #SermonOnTheMount is not typically described as "#woke af" in its original theological context, but it has been perceived by some modern audiences as radical or #subversive regarding morality and social #justice.

    The sermon, delivered by #Jesus, contains teachings on #humility, #mercy, #peacemaking, love of enemies, and #authentic righteousness—#values that some might associate loosely with modern "woke" social consciousness.

  17. #France named #Russia most direct #threat to the country’s interests & stability of #European continent

    “Furthermore, Russia is using all means at its disposal to undermine support for #Ukraine and challenge the international order for its own benefit,” the document read, pointing to #Moscow's #subversive activities across the European continent.

  21. If you've never seen it, find it wherever you have to. It's funny for sure, but in light of recent political events a bit terrifying too. Mike Judge takes his place along with Orwell, Atwell, Wells, Huxley, etc. etc. as a visionary of the future, and even our past now.

  23. Just ordered tickets for this subversive discussion of the Sherlock Holmes story ‘A Study In Scarlet’ for Saturday. It’s one of the reliably fascinating events and it’s donation funded. Sounds right up my dark and foggy cobbled street.

    “when we get to the point where the teachings of #Jesus himself are seen as #subversive to us, then we're in a crisis.”

  26. The more I hear about subversion or anything subversive, relative to computers, culture, or democracy, the more conviction I have in branding Superversive.
