Detail of a Late Gothic fresco (c. 1480) depicting a woman churning butter aided by a demon.
Executed in a naive, folk-art vernacular style characteristic of late medieval Scandinavian workshops, the work relies on bold linear contours and a minimalist palette of earth pigments (ochres and charcoal). The flat, non-perspective composition emphasizes moral narrative over realism.
Location: Tingsted Church, Falster, Denmark.

every nation's government every single one mind you can get fucked but the land they attempt to control and poison in the name of power is divinely imbued so on national holidays i think of landscape
like in 1972 when shin joong hyun was ordered to write a song celebrating the president (a military dictator) park chung hee and he came up with ten minutes of psychedelic meditation on the korean landscape. so they cut his hair, had him arrested and tortured, and banned his music for years. ever since i figured that was the true way to celebrate your country, especially in the bad times, look to "beautiful rivers and mountains."
you may be familiar with shin joong hyun's work with kim jung mi, who performed an alternative arrangement of this song on her 1973 album now (an essential listen of korean music history)
enjoy and be well
ps: kim jung mi and shin joong hyun live on, and that dictator has been dead since the 70s
a korean blogger describes the situation more detail:
So... the president asks you to sing a song praising the president. The style he would prefer, if the video above is any indication, would be a terse, military march. President Park was also known to admire sentimental ballads.
Instead, you go into the studio, and write a huge, shambling, sweeping, psychedelic song that builds and builds and builds to a wild cry of passion, with lyrics like this (these aren't all the lyrics - as translated on the youtube link above):
Opening lines: Blue Sky / White clouds / A thread of wind rises / To fill my heart...
In this beautiful place, you're here and I'm here...
Hold my hand, let's go and see, run and see that wilderness...
Into this world, we were born. This beautiful place. This proud place we will live.
Today I'll go to meet you... time will pass, we will live together, then fade and fall.
Spring and summer go, Fall and winter come. (at 3:58:) Beautiful rivers and mountains!
(4:05-4:30) Your heart, my heart, You and me, Us Forever We are all, all in endless harmony.
It is a sweeping, gorgeous tribute to the beauty of Korea, and Shin's pride in his country, it contains time, seasons, mortality, harmony -- this is Shin's love of his land, with a loose, sloppy song structure, no chorus, few repeats, just a love poem sung straight through, all draped in shambling psychedelic, fuzzy, decadent rock sounds, ending with an extended musical washout as "we are all in endless harmony" disappears into the endlessness of great music.
There you go, Mr. President.
So instead of singing a tribute to the President, Shin pointedly, and passionately, sings about the beauty of the land. NOT the beauty of the government, the leader, or a vision of greatness for the people. No exhortations to respect your teacher or work hard. The rivers and mountains. He places all the politics and ambitions and dreams of the people under a giant sky of washing guitar, and sings that they will fade and fall, but the land, the beautiful land, will outlast them all.
To me, knowing the story of it, the song screams, "I love this country, Mr. President. Not you." Not only is it a pitched act of defiance, it also might be the best song he ever made.

Winfred Rembert, 1945–2021: Hard Times
“I don’t think I’ll ever get over that,” the artist Winfred Rembert said in 2017, referring to the day in 1967 when he was nearly lynched by a white mob in Georgia. “I think I’ll be dead and in my grave before it’s over.” Rembert died in March of 2021, at 75, leaving behind a rich body of work that vividly remembers the way things were in the Jim Crow South. Men on chain gangs, dressed in black-and-white stripes. Women bent amid rows of snowy cotton. Rembert’s medium was leather—he carved and dyed images into it. These images possess fierce energy and a stunning compositional power."
Hard Times is the first LA solo show of work by the late artist Winfred Rembert, bringing together his Cotton Field and Chain Gang series. These series depict episodes from the life of the artist, who grew up sharecropping in Georgia and was incarcerated from 1965 to 1974 after being arrested during a Civil Rights march. The exhibition will also include love letters written during his incarceration between Rembert and his wife Patsy, who encouraged his art practice upon his release.

“Maybe it was the smell of ripe tomatoes, or the oriole singing, or that certain slant of light on a yellow afternoon and the beans hanging thick around me. It just came to me in a wash of happiness that made me laugh out loud, startling the chickadees who were picking at the sunflowers, raining black and white hulls on the ground. I knew it with a certainty as warm and clear as the September sunshine. The land loves us back. She loves us with beans and tomatoes, with roasting ears and blackberries and birdsongs. By a shower of gifts and a heavy rain of lessons. She provides for us and teaches us to provide for ourselves. That’s what good mothers do.”

It's waterproof. It's windproof. It's lightweight and durable. And it's made from the intestines of two bears, painstakingly cleaned and sew
I really wanted to know more about this, especially how the water proof stitching works. Here's more information on this project, and hopefully more in the future!
This is amazing! I need to make a note to play around with that water proof stitch technology soon.
there’s so many things I want to learn and fully understand but this life is so brief
The only goat tower in the United States.
Built with 5,000 bricks and 276 spiral steps, the Tower of Baa-Goat in rural Illinois was created by Dave and Marcia Johnson as a climbing tower for their goats.
The 31-foot brick structure lets the animals climb, rest, and reach small compartments inside the tower.
It was inspired by a goat tower the couple saw in a wine magazine — and became one of the strangest animal-centered structures in the country.
