Aragon: A Short Travel to a Utopian Past by Derek Bentley
There are three different ways of dealing with the past according to philosopher and anthropologist Andres Ortiz Oses, a Deusto University professor and a contemporary Aragonese author of some sixty books. We idealize it, we stick to it trying to revive it, and we maintain it and preserve it. We fly to it selectively, reading it according to sequences of our current interests. These are very different ways of dealing with history: (a) we use it to fight the present, finding possible alternative models of production and consumption of communal, precapitalist nature, for example (we then dive in ideology), (b) we extol systems of accumulation and production of a distant past to reject the present conditions without any plan or desire to implement them (mythology), or (c) we stress moments and characters of the past that best suit the interpretation of our own present while ignoring the rough edges and catastrophic contours of the past and importing the return of those unvalidated dreams (utopia). I just had a chance to travel throughout one of the oldest territories of Aragon, one of the uppermost regions of Spain right in the border with France, between the Basque country and Catalonia. I had a crash
chance of revisiting its architecture, landscape and language. I talked to many people and and trekked through valleys, villages and riverbanks. I saw everywhere a rural architecture suspiciously correct, and most recent buildings sheepishly homogenized to a vernacular construction vocabulary. To my frequent surprise and delight I found myself talking right and left to individuals and whole families that end up being Bulgarian, Romanian, Slovenian and Croatian; this is what you would call the new Aragonese. We never sit in front of such complex phenomena like a country for a period of several centuries, mostly if all that happens in the distant past. We always tend to lean unobjectively on our preferences, expectations or strategies. If we give up to our present day strategies then we lean on ideology, seeing in the past a confirmation of our plan. If we approach the past selectively as an escape from the past and as solution to the confusion and noise that the present carries always with itself we operate or lean on mythology; and if we use it as a projection for our strategies or plans of intervention then we operate on a vision, a reading, an anticipation, a pre-vision of what will happen or has to happen then

But, now, the objective of this report is not to produce a traveller’s notebook but to raise some thoughts on the use of history in our daily systems of communications. First of all, I noticed that the research establishment (University of Zaragoza, the Museum of the Cathedral of Jaca, the Departamento de Educacion, Cultura y Deporte del Gobierno de Aragon and other organizations) and local groups are joining efforts in redrawing the age, role and geography of the old Middle Ages of Spain and Europe. Aragon, the closer region to France in the central Pyrenees mountains reappears a stronghold of culture and arts through fresh scholarship. More and more monographs are published on architecture, trans Pyrenaic architecture, music trade and arts. See the recordings of very early music associated with the Aragonese monasteries of Siresa, San Juan de la Pena and Loarre, and the Cathedrals of Jaca and Huesca. All this outpouring was not widely available ten and even five years ago.
the periphery takes center stage. Evidently, this return to the past is loaded with large doses of ideology. We entered the region coming from Zaragoza and through the Puerto de Arguis into the comarca del Serrablo (Sabinanigo). We first entered to see the Puente de Sabinanigo, whose centerpiece is the Museo Angel Orensanz y Artes de Serrablo. First we meet the Museo compound, made of a master house from around 1800 with all the integrity of a baronial house and rural production self sustained entity in the Pyrenees of the end of the 18th century. This house served the centerpiece for a series of buildings that recreates a village of the 18th century around the square and the church. In many ways, it reminds me a lot of the Skandia, the Swedish village recreated in the outskirts of Stockholm.

This is a piece that mesmerized the entire A new map is drawn of Aragon, a national Western world through the entire Middle Ages, mostly designation much older than Catalonia, Navarre, and the territories of the Crown of Aragon; from Jaca to Spain itself, as a source of European and medieval Sicily to Athens.

the territories of the Crown of Aragon. It seems that Utopia, mythology and ideology are all summarized and well and again in those territories of the old Crown of Aragon. The fast train whizzed through the plains of Central Aragon. I left the ash and mauve colored plains mesmerized and in a certain way very confused. I took the fast train in Zaragoza that whizzed the deserted, grey lands of central Aragon to Madrid. The tourists moved bewildered from desk to desk checking their tickets to distant destinations. The workers seemed depressed and unresponsive. They operate those gigantic elevators, halls and screen dominated counters inside the biggest, half empty glass halls. They were planned for a utopian future that seems more distant in the evening news bulletins. The urban state planners of yesterday dreamt of endless millions of happy workers moving from the wet Norths to the sunny Souths. The leisure society of the European Community sociologists and urban planners now sell newspapers and
sandwiches in the airport dining areas for the returning working class masses. Ideology has given up to mythology. Manhattan is just eight hours away. And the 1849 Angel Orensanz Foundation has opened its doors of the Sistine Chapel by the East River already. We would be in Manhattan by the early evening.
Private Viewing of the Radical Camera By: Hettie Gonzalez
“Come dressed as your favourite photograph! Come for an evening of wild hocus focus!” reads a leaflet on the wall inviting the members of the Photo League as well as the public to a crazy camera ball. The Photo League was established in Greenwich Village and was open to anyone while boasting among its members documentary photography artists like Paul Strand, Berenice Abbott, Eliot Elisofon, Morris Engel, Sid Grossman, Rebecca Lepkoff, Lewis W. Hine, Arthur Leipzig, Leon Levinstein, Lisette Model, Beaumont Newhall, Arnold Newman, Ruth Orkin, Walter Rosenblum, Arthur Rothstein, Joe Schwartz, Aaron Siskind, W. Eugene Smith, Lou Stouman, John Vachon, David Vestal, Weegee, Dan Weiner, Max Yavno and many more.
part of the Radical Camera exhibition) are currently exhibited in the LES Tenement Museum. As a young woman she was a modern dancer and a street photographer and joined the Photo League via some event organised by the Young Communist League. The connection is not surprising, since the Photo League had its origins in the workers’ photography movement of the early 1930’s. Its coming to existence in 1936 was a reaction to what the founders perceived as the deceits of propaganda as well as soft focus commercial photography. Its members under the direction of Sid Grossman focused on documenting life in New York city neighborhoods highlighting social issues at points emphasising the struggles over the joys of everyday existence.
Rebecca Lepkoff grew up in the Lower East Side and her favourite subjects were shop fronts, luncheonettes, fruit vendors and children playing on the streets. She says in a recent New York Times interview: “I lived on the Lower East Side and everything was right there when you walked out on the street.” Her Lower East Side photographs (the ones that are not
The walls of the club house was always full of members’ photographs, just like several rooms on the ground floor of the Jewish Museum today. The club house was much more than an exhibition space. There were workshops, a continuous exchange of ideas in classes that revolutionised photography: it became dynamic, powerful and accessible at the same time.
Street photography was born and the influence of the Photo League can be felt today as amateur and professional photographers alike take to the streets, observing their surroundings. Their camera both exposes them and provides them with perspective as they allow it to take them places near and far from home. Just as their art, the Photo League remained dynamic: gently moving from raw documentary realism toward a higher ground of aesthetics and metaphysics as the images become less obvious and more personal. For instance The Harlem Document (1938-40) project lead by Aron Siskind was criticised at the time for focusing too much on hardship and poverty and even League members realised that a better balance should have been struck. It was around this time when they were becoming more literate in their art and began developing their own styles creating more subtle, inquisitive photography that no longer wanted to just show what’s visible. Nevertheless, its early radical working class background caught up with the League and it became a victim of the anti communist drive of the late 40’s and early 50’s. The Attorney General blacklisted the organisation in 1947 and despite the attempts of Sid Grossman, Paul Strand and others, the League ceased to exist by 1951. The Jewish Museum showcases iconic photos like the Butterfly Boy as well as a mountain of documents and information on the Photo League, giving the visitor context for what there is to view catering for aesthetic as well as intellectual curiosity.

He says he chose Mizrachis as well as Arab Israelis in order to broaden the conversation about diversity and also to encourage people to say yes to it. It is very hard to say no when one type of beauty is set against a background of another type of beauty painted bright, sharp and powerful, and sometimes the decorative background claims the foreground, competing with the portrait creating friction and excitement.

Method in the Madness By: Justin Langdon
I watched a Streetcar Named Desire for my first time last night. Both roommates were out and about and I decided to spend the precious alone time seeking inspiration for this article. Method acting was always something I’d heard about, whether it be the obsessive work of Daniel-Day Lewis, the purported cause behind Heath Ledger’s abrupt demise, or a lame excuse for Christian Bale reviling a sound technician. But never before had I watched a classic Method actor, and nor had I ever tried to consciously evaluate the technique’s merits. So I watched the 1951 adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ play with a watchful eye for Brando’s performance, as he is after all a widely praised Method actor.
In his quest for “theatrical truth” Stanislavski developed a system for infusing psychology into acting, a method of being more believable externally with its basis in our most internal realm, the mind. Prior to this, the art of acting was taught through emphasis on outward action. Actors were instructed to speak eloquently, replicate physical gestures accurately, and generally display the sequences of a role in a convincing manner. Stanislavski introduced a shift from simulating a character to becoming that character. The physical task of emulation became a cerebral one of internalizing an alter ego.
This fundamentally novel way to go about acting gained its popularity in America through the 1930s New There’s a saying that when a butterfly flaps York theater collective, The Group Theatre.

Brando gives his own take of the
Method here, “[I]t made me a real actor. The idea is you learn to use everything that happened in your life and you learn to use it in creating the character you’re working on. You learn to dig into your unconscious and make use of every experience you ever had.” Watching A Streetcar Named Desire with a concerted focus on Brando’s fervid performance was an absorbing experience. He portrays an animalistic, carnal soul who bears all before the camera. As a viewer it was easy to transcend the concomitant awareness that you’re viewing an actor playing a part and come to only see a brutish man naturally reacting to the atmosphere around him. Brando no longer existed in the film, only the violent and mercurial Stanley Kuwolski. Through film we are granted the unique and otherwise impossible vantage point onto other people’s lives and drama. Before passing, David Foster Wallace struck along this vein when speaking of the voyeuristic nature of the television; we get to watch without any worry of being watched in return. In this case Brando’s performance was of such visceral truth that one could mistake their television for one way glass into a distant reality... But I’m no critic, so perhaps I’ll leave it to Ebert to say it best: “Before this role, there was usually a certain restraint in American movie performances. Actors would portray violent emotions, but you could always sense to some degree a certain modesty that prevented them from displaying their feelings in raw nakedness. Brando held nothing back, and within a few years his was the style that dominated Hollywood movie acting.” All actors are in the business of borrowing identities, but it was only as a result of Stanislavski’s vision that the business became a psychological one. Physical gestures can only go so far, and as Brando’s performance serves to remind us, “theatrical truth” requires something internal.
The Study of Noise in the Russian Avant-Garde By: Sandra Garcia Martin
“A new beauty has been added to the splendor of the world—the beauty of speed” Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, 1909 The speed of sound is fast, and sound is an old instrument of the world, the communication of life itself. Sound can change the life of a human being, has the power to destroy, to heal and to dictate the soul’s emotions.

However, such well-established artists as Mikhail Larionov, Natalia Goncharova, and Kazimir Malevich found inspiration in the refreshing imagery of Futurist poems and experimented with versification themselves. The poets and painters collaborated on such innovative productions as the Futurist opera Victory Over the Sun, with music by Mikhail Matyushin, texts by Kruchenykh and sets contributed by Malevich.
and to start conquering the new world of sound-noise2.
Instead of the sculptures moved by nature (wind, water and fire) the industrial man substitutes it for the machine. And machine itself becomes the heart, the machine that infuses us with life.
With that purpose, Russolo invented a new instrument call Intonarrumori or Intoners in order to be able to reproduce the sounds of noise. He created several wooden boxes that he manipulated in order to be able to reproduce the noises of a crowded street, of an explosive motor, etc. Ultimately what Russolo was looking for with these boxes was for a similar effect that techno music from the 80’s achieved.
Just over 150 years ago the electric motor was invented, and this is why the first manifestations made by the Italian and Russian futurists remained as unfinished projects. It would be in the 50’s with kinetic art and the New Realists that these projects would be retaken and many works related to the autonomic movement and sound generator would appear. One of the first was the kinetic artist Nicolas Schoefer with his Kinetic Towers (1948-57). These towers were activated by exterior impulses of light, sound, temperature, etc. looking for a new homeostatic equilibrium between the static (entropy) and the disturbance (negative entropy) of the contemporary man, reflected in these towers with an electronic brain1.
Russolo and the futurists believe in this unavoidable evolution of the music. “Bethoven and Wagner have excited our nerves and heart for many years. Now we are full of them and we enjoy much more mixing mentally the noises of a train, of a noisy crowd or of an explosive motor, than listening once more to La Pastoral”3.
Today, looking back to the futurists, we can appreciate the visionary conceptions they had back in the 1900. They felt hunger for a new sound, the necessity of the exploration, and the vision to find a new music for a new world. Machines and modern life have created a whole new world of sounds. Futurists were just able to foresee their evolution.

Russolo understands that this incorporation of “sound-noise,” parallel to the multiplication of machines, is coherent with the evolution of the musical art from the Tetracardo system of the Greeks to the variety of timbres and dissonant accords founded in contemporary music. Russolo expands upon this as he states, “Our ear is not satisfied and it claims for new musical 2 Miguel Molina Alarcon “Arte Sonoro” article, emotions and experiences” and that’s the reason why 2006 we have to break with that closed circle of pure sounds 3 RUSSOLO, Luigi , op. cit., pp. 9 y 10 1 Alam Lamb “Journeys on the Winds of Time I”, 4 http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/baku-symAustralian voices CD. phony-of-sirens/id349224463
Juan Dominguez Lasierra and the Culture From the Periphery By: Al Orensanz
My first meeting with Juan Dominguez Lasierra was in the premises of The Living Theater on Rivington St. in Manhattan. It was new year’s eve of 2010. There were many people around and he and his friends had come to meet Angel Orensanz at the Orensanz Foundation around the corner. Judith Malina spoke about the Front of Aragon, a mythical boundary of world anarchism during the 1930’s. She remembered the letters of her friend Emma Goldman in the mid 1930’s. Juan Dominguez Lasierra was vivid and reflexive at the same time. He was astonished to meet somebody of such historical importance in the world history of theater and political agitation enquiring about the history of Anarchism. Juan Dominguez Lasierra feels extremely attached if not with anarchism per say, certainly with the lands of Aragon and everything pertaining to Aragon.
strongly driving capitals for a disperse assortment of hinterlands. But first and foremost, the USA has no periphery; everything there is center, or becomes instant center of a surrounding territory. Spain, Portugal, the Scandinavian countries and many other European countries with median and small demographics are capital centered and deeply oriented towards a center, a magnetic drawing center. The problem is that most territories zealously engender their own peripheries.
While this is the case with many countries, several other possibilities exist. There are countries with two capitals and vast swaths of hinterlands. Such is the case of Spain with Madrid and Barcelona as huge capitals around which the rest of the country revolves. Moscow and Saint Petersburg exhibit the same role within Russia.
