    Pissing On (or Near) Art at the Clyfford Still Museum

    First, there was Duchamp’s “Fountain,” and since then piss, dung, feces, even menstrual blood have been handy tools of art.

The Last Mountain is a case study in the rape of that landscape.  Over the past 30 years, as miners’ unions were crushed, coal companies shifted from  expensive More …

    It may seem futuristic cinema to picture men in helicopters stampeding wild horses down the Western range – but rather than a hybrid of Mad Max and the Misfits, this is a description of the cyborg future that is now. Wild horses being rounded up for holding in BLM pens are run to the point of injury or death. Estimates hold there are more wild horses being held (38,000) now More …
