MRPJ#23/Now: “Excerpts From A Letter To Marion From India, 03-01-01, Chennai Dusk” by KJ Holmes

Wisps of smoke clouds, Marion, and Venus held momentarily above the mosque’s left steeple. The flat roofs are silhouetted. The blue neon sign pulls itself off the backdrop of setting day. Long tubes of white fluorescent lights inside rooms create more darkness around them with their light, funny.

MRPJ#22/Ownership: “Dancer X” by Diane Vivona

“A choreographer develops his own mature movement thought as he develops his own style along the way. Julian Gustus has done none of that. In effect, he has skipped the process and gone directly to something of (questionable) market value. There is something deeply disturbing in this. It reminds me of the guy selling ‘real […]

MRPJ#22/Ownership: Extras

I urge those with power over the tangible evidence of Martha’s genius to stop acting as if Martha was still alive, imitating her choices. It has proven to be an impossible path—destructive rather than creative. Let us lesser mortals take up the task relevant to our time: to codify, interpret, teach, and inspire new audiences […]

MRPJ#21/age and the trajectory of the body in time: “Premises for a Transition on Form, Becoming, Aging and Dissipating” by Marlon Barrios Solano

“But in reality the body is changing form at every moment; or rather there is no form, since form is immovable and reality is movement. What is real is the continual change of form: form is only a snapshot view of a transition.” —Henri Bergson, Creative Evolution (1913)

MRPJ#21/age and the trajectory of the body in time: Editors’ Notes

Editors: Sarah Michelson and Bob Ajar The secret is that I bought the L’Oreal Turning Point cream for myself. It cost $12.99. I didn’t have the cash but I had to have it. I would go into debt to stay fuckable. I didn’t tell fellow Virgo dragon, Bob, I bought it for myself… I told […]

MRPJ#21/age and the trajectory of the body in time: “Age-ism” by Cathy Weis

I saw Pina Bausch at BAM same old but the house loved it so who am I to disagree but I think performing is discriminatory because after a certain age who has the energy? And those that do wouldn’t be stupid enough to just throw that energy away. You know that glow from the energy […]

MRPJ#20/Technology and the Body, Millenial Issue: Extras

Rather than the hardware prosthesis of a mechanical hand, the Extra Ear would be a soft augmentation, mimicking the actual ear in shape and structure, but having different functions. Imagine an ear that cannot hear but rather can emit noises. Implanted with a sound chip and a proximity sensor, the ear would speak to anyone […]

MRPJ#20/Technology and the Body, Millenial Issue: Editors’ Note

Editors: Sarah Michelson and Kathy Westwater Mystified, awed and terrified still by the concept of the telephone, I fall into a lazy, dull acceptance of the technology that is offered to me. I want more. I have a deep need to understand it and be on top of it…move into the sexy world of—I don’t […]

MRPJ#20/Technology and the Body, Millenial Issue: “Technodelux” by Dean Moss

Since the Renaissance, the Western artist perceived his environment primarily in terms of the visual. His conception of space was in terms of a perspective projection upon a plane surface consisting of formal units of spatial measurement… [“The native”] and pre-alphabet people integrate time and space as one and live in an acoustic, horizonless boundless […]
