Last Exit video @JokerJokerTV this Thursday....

 https://www.youtube.com/live/c5g91jZ8xBQ.    6:30 PM EST USA - 11:30H EU

In the anti-war and vacation culture video Last Exit, the bleak, worker’s noir, 1945 Club Paradise film, released the same year Nagasaki/ Hiroshima was bombed and Hitler died, is re-mixed with poetry dialogue to become a romantic vacation advertisement that comments on perception, storytelling and propaganda. From the larger multimedia project Club Paradise: vacation culture, consciousness and capitalism and the selling of holiday 2019. Marketed vacation migration is compared to early nomadic tribes led by their shaman on the tracks of game. Only now the game pursued is a state of mind to produce a worker’s consciousness tolerant of capitalist slavery. With Jeff Crouch music.











ah yes, Raytheon....


It's the last exit

meet me there

we have all night

under the moon

don't go too far

you'll pass the bar

I'll wait

by the gate

don't be late

I hate 

to be alone

on a night like this

senses awake

skin tight sunburn

first day in the sea

I slept under a tree

until three

and swam again

what a memory.

Let's stay up all night

sleep until noon

the sea meets the sky

you can't tell where

the night meets eternity

you can't tell when

we'll be here again

on vacation

with friends 

dancing 

under the stars

swimming in the sun

having fun

feeling groovy

happy in love

moon up above

nothing to do

but sit and share with you

an incredible view

(sit and stare at you)

what a souvenir

our reverie

time free. 

Memories live

someday we'll die

tonight is forever

a dream, 

don't pass it,

at the last exit....

Club Paradise.

Porto PT gallery show 4/13....DECALS, POSTCARDS AND SOUVENIRS / FERNANDO MARQUES PENTEADO

'You take paths blindly, but, guided by your beating heart, you will always find beneficial destinations. Here in the exhibition, the anonymous narrator is right at the door and draws a route. There are several stops on it. You can, between different little chapels, sit down and enjoy dreaming again. The works recover fabrics and stories, maps and photos, events that are glued together in a confusing, inverted, insoluble timeline. And all the better because you can then recover them and make sense of them. your own way.' excerpt from show text

Club Paradise at Interalia Magazine

Club Paradise: don’t be a tourist…vacation culture, capitalism, consciousness 2017-2019 examines vacation culture photographed and filmed on Cape Cod. https://www.interaliamag.org/articles/cecelia-chapman/

Club Paradise is a huge project that took a year emailing everything, video, mail art, polaroid, essay, writing back and forth with Jeff Crouch and which is up at Interalia Magazine now. I included the mail art here but Interalia focussed on the video and photographs.... but it was my biggest mail art project and working with Jeff, Rafael Gonzalez, Blaine Reininger and several performers.
