(Mark Lombardi) arts / w b u r g: "Distilled from a welter of dis- and misinformation and refined from dense archives of aesthetic experiment, Lombardi's 'narrative structures' demonstrate a Cheshire understanding of the reciprocity between factual solidity and mutable appearance. In a media culture where few sources report the fine print on collusion between financial markets, political operatives, and corporate entities, and few commentators acknowledge how fluidly form and content, being and seeming blend, his work both emphasizes and redresses the lack of coherent analysis from journalistic and governmental experts. But perhaps more importantly, it obeys Joseph Kosuth's assertion that 'art…fulfills what another age might have called 'man's spiritual needs.'' "
...His drawings delimit a field in which aesthetic, geopolitical, and epistemological concerns are not mutually exclusive, where their self-mirroring identities are tabulated and given two-dimensional form.

Politics is a cult phenomenon. As the Brits are wont to say, “Never let them see the Queen shit. What?”
The only way to, are you experienced - get experienced, is to kick on the local level or just vote for Bob.
In the best of all possible worlds, the enlightened know the secret - the magick is in the doing and it is best to just tend to your garden.
Snapping out,
