Underskog

Nyeste nummer av Utflukt handler om den forundelige månen og den kosmologiske nysgjerrigheten, og det slipper vi på Huk lørdag ettermiddag: Ta med kakao, whiskey, pledd, hva du måtte begjære – en kikkert er for eksempel absolutt ikke dumt. Så venter vi i fellesskap på at solen skal gå ned og fullmånen opp over fjordbyen. Vi har kake. Og et ekte gallileoskop – alle får kikke!

Ikke særlig mye info på’n ennå, men det er hyggelig om du stikker innom.

Mark Leckey constructs a bonfire on the beach at Huk in Oslo in an invitation to celebrate the renegade traditions of Guy Fawkes — one of the protagonists in the celebrated failure of the Gunpowder Plot. On the fifth of November in 1605, a group of conspirators led by one Robert Catesby, and including Guy Fawkes, attempted to blow up the House of Parliament in an effort to kill James I of England and to destroy protestant rule and the protestant aristocracy reigning at the time. Upon a flawed attempt, Fawkes was among those tortured and executed. The conspiracy of the plot transpired into a commemorated celebration that burns throughout the UK each year.

Still in 18th century England, it was common for children to parade the effigy of Fawkes around town streets in celebration of the anniversary of the plot. In present day traditions, fireworks and sparklers are set off throughout the night. The conspiracy, its celebration, and Fawkes have been mentioned in popular songs and ballads including more notably on the vinyl version of The Smiths’ album Strangeways, Here We come. Leckey, an artist who basks in the “chaotic spendor of metropolitan hubris,” brings this most celebrated commemoration of anarchical spirit within London streets to the beaches of Oslo.
