how they celebrated the 100th anniversary of the paris commune in sweden

saturday is becoming elizabeth night. sunday is daniel lewis spy series night. elizabeth is coming to an end (boo-hoo). the rest of the week on terrestrial tv is pretty barren and horsemouth mostly has recourse to youtube his mum to books. 

howard is going to a talk on 30th august about moki cherry. here are some  photos from the exhibition, moki, neneh and eagle-eye cherry and other visitors at the dome project at utopia and visions, moderna museet, stockholm, 1971.

'the exhibition is remembered in part for the construction of a geodesic dome, where the artist moki cherry and the jazz musician don cherry, lived throughout the summer. it was here that they performed music, created set designs and costumes, and staged happenings together with the public.'


here is what we might imagine as the reverse shot.

the exhibition was on the 100th anniversary of the paris commune and pulled in other 'utopian' experiments under the guidance of curator pontus hultén. in 2022  a one day symposium was held to celebrate it and his work. 




horsemouth needs to get on. he needs to time speeches. he needs to make sure people have been contacted. 

soon we enter 'the embers'  of the year - september, october (sic.), november, december... we cross the equinox and move towards the winter solstice. soon enough kilvert will be telling us about clyro again and kafka will be telling us about his difficulties in living and writing.
