type='text'></title><content type='html'>fiona banner is an artist.&lt;br /&gt;her work explores the problems and possibilities &lt;br /&gt;of written language. her early work took the &lt;br /&gt;form of 'wordscapes' or 'still films' - blow by blow accounts &lt;br /&gt;written in her words of feature films (whose subjects range from &lt;br /&gt;war to porn) or sequences of events.&lt;br /&gt;these pieces took the form of solid single blocks of text,&lt;br /&gt;and size as a cinema screen. banner's work encompasses &lt;br /&gt;sculpture, drawing and installation, although text is still &lt;br /&gt;at the heart of her practice. she recently turned her attention to &lt;br /&gt;the idea of the classic, art-historical nude, &lt;br /&gt;observing a life model and transcribing the pose and form &lt;br /&gt;in a similiar vein to her earlier transcription of films. &lt;br /&gt;often using parts of military aircraft &lt;br /&gt;as the support for these descriptions, banner juxtaposes &lt;br /&gt;the brutal and the sensual, performing an almost complete cycle &lt;br /&gt;of intimacy and alienation.&lt;br /&gt;{text from the frith street gallery website.}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;fiona banner is a plagiarist.&lt;br /&gt;her work exploits work by other artists {imposters and charlatans&lt;br /&gt;with a few genuine articles of acquired situational narcissism}&lt;br /&gt;whose work has been marginalised by the dysfunctional &lt;br /&gt;art movements of the 20th century, the entire series of 'friends' &lt;br /&gt;and the global socio-political impact of breast milk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;her work exploits the problems of creating original art &lt;br /&gt;in a world hyperventilatinglysupersaturated with images, films, &lt;br /&gt;wordscapes and possibly ... justifiably perhaps, &lt;br /&gt;on being discovered a fraud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;her pieces take the form of pretentious banal blurb&lt;br /&gt;in the form of tedious single gashes of text, often redundant,&lt;br /&gt;most certainly irrelevant, especially when viewed in the &lt;br /&gt;post-modern vacuum of traditional white cubist cathedrals&lt;br /&gt;which are nothing more than rectums of iniquity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;she recently turned her attention to the idea of the classic,&lt;br /&gt;art historical nude {rape and pillage never goes out of&lt;br /&gt;fashion does it my dear?} observing a life model&lt;br /&gt;and transcribing the pose and form in the same dull&lt;br /&gt;method as her earlier film blurb-a-dub-dub.&lt;br /&gt;often using duff old bits and bobs of scrap metal from&lt;br /&gt;military aircraft {darling, i could have saved you a slab,&lt;br /&gt;a wad, a barrowful ... a chap who knows a chap who&lt;br /&gt;knows a geezer with top-notch rover mg scrap ...}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;banner tries in vain to flog the idea that pieces of military &lt;br /&gt;aircraft symbolise brutality ... therefore ... by engraving&lt;br /&gt;her mono-sodomite glutamogenous limp-limpet blurb &lt;br /&gt;on the wounded metal ... it somehow provokes &lt;br /&gt;the bouquet of freshly cut grass without the efficacy&lt;br /&gt;one would associate with curator's constipation nor,&lt;br /&gt;so it seems with the pungent aroma of arabica&lt;br /&gt;a tenth of a second after the alarm traumatises one's&lt;br /&gt;eyelids to roll ... it does however, symbolise &lt;br /&gt;the primordial soup of her womb, heart, and brain.&lt;br /&gt;yet, fundamentally, her ego. post feminist icon or not,&lt;br /&gt;creation from a christian's perspective but without &lt;br /&gt;the pornographic existentialism, therefore &lt;br /&gt;fulfilling nostradamus's primordial precognitive theory.&lt;br /&gt;how voluptuous.&lt;div

in the monumental second movement.&lt;br /&gt;poco sostenuto, presto and allegro con brio is&lt;br /&gt;van the man in cruise mode.&lt;br /&gt;wagner said "it´s the apotheosis of the dance".&lt;br /&gt;dear richard,&lt;br /&gt;graven words may soothe the soothsayer´s predicament&lt;br /&gt;but ´neath the flirting violins an abcess was fermenting voluminously.&lt;br /&gt;it´s odd that none of these sages even considered his hearing&lt;br /&gt;condition, his joyless love life or his diet?&lt;br /&gt;david wyn eloquently stated " the 7th is a continuous cumulative&lt;br /&gt;celebration of joy." i believe david had just received&lt;br /&gt;acupuncture shortly before he wrote this.&lt;br /&gt;endorphins have been proven to blunt one´s critical faculties.&lt;br /&gt;misery is the leaden pipe that leads to the fountain of joy.&lt;br /&gt;no?&lt;br /&gt;lindsay informs me that the first performance was made in&lt;br /&gt;vienna - december 1813, which was a charity event&lt;br /&gt;in order to raise funds for the widows and orphans of&lt;br /&gt;soldiers involved in a nasty battle with nasty little napoleon.&lt;br /&gt;"the jubilant seventh"?&lt;br /&gt;perhaps, in spirit but not in body.&lt;br /&gt;in my own pedestrian words,&lt;br /&gt;the 7th is in the middle of the road&lt;br /&gt;between the 5th and the 9th.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'
