Ace text by Cassie Thornton about Marc Garrett's book, Feral Class. "It can appear as if the academy and its sister institutions, prisons and pensions, professionalise and discipline all that is untameable and wild. What if a disorganised class of people were here to ruin that story?"

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas
According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

I've been revisiting texts by Suzi Gablik and examining art by Fern Shaffer, both of whom worked in the late 80s and early 90s, exploring subjects such as ecology, feminism, and activism. I'm thinking shit! - We need to bring their contexts back into art & life right now!

Lovely to see this piece linking my work with that of Charles Taylor, Joseph Stiglitz, Elinor Ostrom and others who challenge our failing model of liberalism, one that enables the private enclosure of public goods and the resulting collapse of our civic virtues and capabilities for common life.

🔮 Summer Reading Group: Esoteric Algorithms & Re-enchanted Technologies ~ panke.gallery, Tuesdays: June 17 & 24, and July 1 & 15, from 19:00 to 21:00 panke.gallery/event/esoter... Join us for four summer sessions of our reading group exploring Esoteric Algorithms & Re-enchanted Technologies!
A mystical, tarot-style digital artwork on a deep purple background. At the center is a stylized computer chip or circuit board, designed to resemble a tarot card. The chip glows subtly with a gradient of silvery grays and purples, and binary code (0s and 1s) is visible in a rectangular section at the top of the board. The tarot card frame is outlined in white and surrounded by small esoteric symbols: stars, moons, planets, and cosmic motifs. At the top center of the card is a radiant sun with a face, and at the bottom corners are crescent moons with serene human faces. Flanking the tarot card on both sides are two large crescent moons. Near the bottom of the image, two open hands, drawn in a minimalist white outline, appear to be offering or conjuring the card. A thin circular astrological chart, filled with stars and lines, forms the outer border of the entire image. The overall color palette is rich purples, silvers, and whites, creating a magical, otherworldly atmosphere. No text is present in the image.
