  6. James Hampton’s Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations’ Millennium General Assembly

    The Hampton Throne, produced between 1950 and 1964, was the life’s work of self-taught artist James Hampton. The 80-piece installation appears to be made of aluminum foil, though in fact it forms only the skin covering wooden and cardboard structural elements, bought second-hand or found on the streets of Washington DC. The plain, colored, and textured foils derive from store-bought rolls of kitchen foil but also from liquor store displays, candy wrappers and cigarette packs. They were secured in place by means of crimping, pressing, gluing and nailing. The components were adorned with paint, glue, colored papers, and toned varnish coatings. Various forms of corrosion are present on the foil, and some of the paints and glues have caused severe deterioration.

    Dust has been a constant in the environment of the Throne, and was problematic enough for the artist that many of the elements were covered over again during his lifetime to refresh dust-embedded parts of the heavenly showpiece. The installation was created in an unheated garage often opened to a dusty alleyway to provide light and air to the claustrophobic space. Extremes of temperature and humidity were endemic to the artist’s workspace and surely have contributed to the deterioration of the non-archival components and the thin aluminum films….

  7. EP54: Dugin: Russia’s Imperial Philosopher – Darts & Letters

    http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/citedmedia.ca/darts/E54_Dugin.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed

    We look at the mind behind Russia’s imperial vision, Aleksandr Dugin. Political theorist Matt McManus walks us through this far-right thinker’s strange and often contradictory ideas, from: his geopolitical clash-of-civilizations narrative, his flirtation with left-wing postmodernism, his Nietzschean great man-visions, his rejection of all things liberal, and his more ancient and mystical imagination.

    ——————FURTHER READING & LISTENING————————-

    This episode is inspired by the Pill Pod’s take on Duggin, with Matt McManus and friends. Their episode has a deeper dive into what Duggin means for postmodernism, Bruno Latour, and the left–check it out!

    Duggin is a kind of postmodern conservative, and McManus’ book the Rise of Postmodern Conservatism analyzes this emerging intellectual milieu in detail.

    We used the book Key Thinkers of the Radical Right in preparation, and in particular Marlene Laruelle’s chapter on Duggin. It encapsulates his ideas, and gives a more detailed biography than we had here.
