Face the sun<br />
I listen to the story<br />
I love the story<br />
Go real fast<br />
Faster, man<br />
Some word<br />
Stop all the shit<br />
Got to go fast, man<br />
I love the story<br />
I need that sound, man<br />
Like a story inside a story, you know what I mean<br />
Robert Ashley, Dust, 1998<br />
Typographers design using other people’s words but can only go<br />
so far in modifying a text, even when there is a clear syntactic<br />
path to understanding. The intention is not to provide a course,<br />
but to create an experience based on language as presented<br />
visually, in order to enhance perceptual meaning. Artists have<br />
made similar gestures in varying forms throughout all of history. <br />
In the play Hamlet, a troupe of actors are used to perform the play<br />
The Murder of Gonzaga, but Hamlet modifies the play to convey<br />
his suspicion of Claudius. Hamlet has reason to believe that<br />
Claudius murdered his father, and wants to observe his reaction to<br />
a reenactment of the assassination. The play-within-a-play is a<br />
mousetrap, as Hamlet maintains, “The play is the thing Wherein<br />
I’ll catch the conscience of the King.” A <strong>dumb</strong>show, like<br />
typography, is intended to help transfer meaning and provide<br />
action to the main drama. <br />

INTRO<br />
The concept of this art journal was developed with these<br />
devices in mind, and the <strong>dumb</strong>show is also an inspiration for<br />
the title. The theme for this first <strong>issue</strong> is entirely open, and the<br />
works are arranged so that they might be read in new ways.<br />
We are all, at some point, in a play-within-a-play gesturing<br />
from our little stages what we want the institutions we are a<br />
part of to see. This journal is a way to bring some of our<br />
gestures and an audience together for a closer view, and better<br />
understanding of what we mean to say with our work.<br />
<strong>dumb</strong> is a student-run art journal at Pennsylvania Academy of<br />
the Fine Arts. This first <strong>issue</strong>, <strong>Brute</strong> <strong>Reason</strong>, brings together<br />
pieces from students, staff, and peers and is threaded with a<br />
compilation of known works, notes, and other ponderings in<br />
various forms of art and text.<br />

Goose Tales<br />
Princess Mouseskin<br />
King, <strong>dumb</strong>. Said fast,“who loves me best”. Daughter #1 more<br />
than jewels. Daughter two, wealth in kingdom. But Daughter<br />
three, simple salt. King turned to the green, and said “to the<br />
forest, with our foe”. Knife, beg relief. Do not engrave my<br />
destiny. Carve me a suit of a Mouseskin, if you please.<br />
Ferns grow, and cotton traps. Servant, prevailed unveiled<br />
without nail, noose, or knife. True knights don’t have to use<br />
knives. Mercy, made maiden miracled, unscathed. Princess<br />
under covered mouse traps, untraps, with Mouseskin, over skin,<br />
to prevent becoming skinned.<br />
Under boot and toe. For a while. But fawns fast, and warm<br />
hides. Even Selkies leafs, water. And so, Bride groomed. Long<br />
golden, becoming. Father invited, vying. Newly weds, he<br />
thought he knew not. Tying the knot.<br />
Cunning Queen, special meal, underguise, unappetized. Arms<br />
fastened, lack fathom. Ew, hick-ory, trickory! “I’d rather die<br />
than eat such food!”.<br />

Dust<br />
Swing, duck. Swing, duck.<br />
Shit. The outside guy is watching. I don’t have it in me.<br />
I am ashamed because of the outside guy.<br />
It’s like ashamed because you are too short.<br />
Or like ashamed because you can’t get a sun tan.<br />
White skin. Sun. <br />
The skin gets red and three days later it’s gone. <br />
White skin. Too short. Bad teeth. <br />
All those things you can’t do anything about.<br />
And my problem is I don’t have it in me.<br />
I get the guy who has finished buttoning up his pants.<br />
He is very calm. He never misses.<br />
Bam. Loose tooth. Bam. The bells are ringing.<br />
I want to be someplace else. I should start running.<br />
But I can’t, because of the outside guy.<br />
Swing, duck. Swing, duck. I can’t touch this guy.<br />
Bam. The bells are ringing.<br />
The outside guy is watching. I will never live this down.<br />
From now on. For the rest of my life.<br />
The outside guy knows. I don’t have it in me.<br />

The City Unseen<br />
What does systemic racism look like mapped onto our everyday<br />
lives? It looks like decades of housing, educational, banking/loan,<br />
transportation and employment inequity forced into being by the<br />
Federal government’s decisions about who gets to live in what<br />
neighborhoods.<br />
Read Next City’s article, “How Redlining Segregated Philadelphia”<br />
and explore their interactive map based on the 1935-1940 Home<br />
Owners Loan Corporation Risk Maps. Take some time to<br />
experiment with the redlined map – it allows you to adjust the filters<br />
and view the map with today’s current household income,<br />
brownfield, high school graduation rates, crime and median house<br />
prices.<br />
By using the QR code, you will find photos of an old AAA map of<br />
Philadelphia. I’ve traced the HOLC red lines on the map with a<br />
Sharpie. I’m also traversing my way along the perimeter of the red<br />
lines, documenting the long-term effects of redlining on<br />
neighborhoods. Because banks lend to Black and Latinx –<br />
mortgages and home improvement/equity loans – at a small fraction<br />
of the percentage they lend to White people, neighborhoods go<br />
through a physical decline and often swift gentrification.<br />
In this work in progress, as I physically trace the lines of<br />
demarcation and destiny across Philadelphia, I stop at intersections<br />
along the perimeter. I take a photo and document the intersection,<br />
and place a sticker with a QR code leading to the site where the<br />
photos are housed. I encourage viewers to explore one of the<br />
primary unseen structures that have determined the long-term well<br />
being of many of Philadelphia’s residents at the expense of others.<br />

The One<br />
Sold out<br />
I've given up my soul now<br />
I thought that I could be unique<br />
Fuck it I am just so weak<br />
Love me more<br />
I need to be adored<br />
(You're such an attention whore!)<br />
No I'm just like you<br />
But I can be your hero too<br />
I'm not the one you want<br />
I fucked it up with the saddest songs<br />
I'm not the one you want<br />
But leave it on<br />
Leave it on<br />
Bow down<br />
Vanilla and I'm proud now<br />
They're saying I'm a god sent gift<br />
And all you fuckers want my dick<br />
Love me more<br />
Rub me 'til my ego is raw<br />
(That's not what we came here for!)<br />
I've got BDE<br />
I think it's a venereal disease<br />
She likes to have attention<br />
She longs for your affection<br />
She likes to have attention<br />

Cinderella<br />
Cinder, blocks. Fortune, fate. A pretty girl, neath the soot. Clean, sweeps. Winnings, neat. For a bimbo bound. Wealth<br />
ponds. Pool, and damn up. Liquid mold, in a foot hold. Ducked, below. Hits and throws. Looking through. Window, pains.<br />
Looking for. God, Mother!<br />
Ugly, ducking. Under chic, Givenchy. Glass slippers make for slippy flippers. Glass sippers, drink until they’re seen<br />
through.<br />
Clocked, Strike Out! Lucky #7 on the matchbox. Tic tac toes gotta go. Shoes, off! A Mr. right with all wrong answers, is no<br />
Jake Ryan. Girl, forlorn. Marlboro lights, bore on. Flick, switch. Couldn’t find her match. Swipe right.<br />
Knocking on knock-offs handbags, turn doors. Lock and key, don’t ask me. But one last try, it seems the shoe fits. Heel,<br />
girl! Toes follow closely behind. Risk isn’t just a board game, when you’ve got no pocket change. Ankle sores, money<br />
opens doors. They say love heals all wounds.<br />

EXCESS<br />
Measure is only a convention, an intersubjective agreement<br />
which is the condition of merit (social recognizability).<br />
Poetry is the excess which break the limit and escapes<br />
measure. The ambiguousness of poetical words, indeed, may<br />
be defined as semantic overinclusiveness. Like the schizo,<br />
the poet does not respect the conventional limits of the<br />
relation between signifier and the signified, and reveals an<br />
infinitude of the process of meaning-making (signification).<br />
Exactness and compliance are the conditions of merit and<br />
exchange. Excessiveness is the condition of revelation, of<br />
emancipation from established meaning and the disclosure of<br />
an unseen horizon of signification: the possible. <br />
Franco “Bifo” Berardi<br />
It is in the same life; the heart changes, and it is<br />
our worst sorrow; but we know it only through<br />
reading, through our imagination: in reality its<br />
alteration, like that of a certain natural<br />
phenomena, is so gradual that, even if we are able<br />
to distinguish, successively, each of its different<br />
states, we are still spared the actual sensation of<br />
change. <br />
The numbers are made of rubber or something<br />
like that.<br />

Cue the Impossible
PRIVATE LETTERS AND MISSED CONNECTIONS<br />
In this work, at all times, the human spirit is shown<br />
as modified by its relation to force, as swept away, blinded by the very force it imagined it<br />
could handle, as deformed by the weight of the force it submits to. For those dreamers who<br />
considered that force, thanks to progress, would soon be a thing of the past, the Iliad could<br />
appear as an historical document; for others, whose powers of recognition are more acute and<br />
who perceive force, today as yesterday, at the very center of human history, the Iliad is the<br />
purest and loveliest of mirrors. <br />
To define force—it is that x that turns anybody who is subjected to it into a thing:<br />
. . . the horses<br />
Rattled the empty chariots through the files of battle,<br />
Longing for their noble drivers. But they on the ground<br />
Lay, dearer to the vultures than to their wives.<br />
<br />

came for<br />
I am in touch with the voice<br />
And he’s telling me shit I can’t even understand <br />
I am in touch with the voice<br />
And he’s telling me shit I can’t even understand<br />
I am in heaven, man<br />
Like<br />
There is an end<br />
I think that’s what he said <br />
But shit, man, it’s like ‘eresane’<br />
I can’t even do it<br />
If I could do it, I could do the whole thing<br />
I’m saying shit and this voice is telling me <br />
But I can’t do it<br />
I could have learned everything<br />
I could have learned shit that nobody knows<br />
But I just didn’t have time, you know<br />
And I’m trying to get it all down<br />
Dialoguing, you know what I mean?<br />
I’m saying shit and this voice is telling me I’m<br />
getting the whole fucking message<br />
Stops the whole thing<br />
stops the whole thing <br />
stops the killing <br />
stop all the shit<br />
stop all the shit<br />
Stop it<br />
stop<br />
Stop<br />
it goes by so fast<br />
human doesn’t get it<br />
I can hear it<br />
but it’s too fast<br />
Oh, shit, we are dialoguing<br />
I’m crying<br />
The fucking tears are in my eyes<br />
I’m getting it<br />
The fucking tears are in my eyes<br />
Now, I’m losing it<br />
I’m listening, but I’m losing it<br />
Too fucking fast, but clear and loud<br />
Now, I’m losing it<br />
I’m losing it<br />
I’m losing it<br />
I’m still saying shit and the answer is coming <br />
But I can’t hear it<br />
I lost it<br />

COMPARATIVE FORMS<br />
Like a patient etherized upon a table;<br />
The apparition of these faces in the crowd:<br />
Petals on a wet, black bough. <br />
There’s an implied comparison. Eliot just includes the<br />
“like”, so you don’t miss that.<br />
John Yau<br />
“As the spectator identifies with the main male<br />
protagonist he projects his look onto that of his<br />
like, [his screen surrogate]<br />
so that the power of the male protagonist<br />
[as he controls events] coincides with<br />
the active power [of the erotic look],<br />
both giving a satisfying sense of omnipotence.”<br />
