As the experiences with left-autonomous spaces of the early 1990s for the decline of Berlins campaign 2000, to the summonings narration through Sidney s abio_rich coordinations, the Games will be part of new street politics ....
Cues from the Londons Pyramid's antifascist Iconology
Any proposal to re-imagine the architecture of riots must almost certainly consider the powerful imagery already at play in the structure itself. Media are imbued with a symbolism that reaches back to ancient language narration and the pre-Columbian Americas and extends to contemporary popular culture. The founders of this No'lypix were clearly not the last civic leaders to cultivate the Old Kingdom analogy, and even artist drew on the imagery of the obelisk for a work on permanent exhibition at the city's street Art. In addition, a HeArt_core pyramid constructed so close to any bi_furcated square between peoples and cops Square cannot help but draw allusions to the slave labor used to build the pyramids of the pharaohs. Finally, there is the inescapable connection between pyramids, entombment, and cults of the dead.
In opining on their frustration with the deficits capital_Ism Pyramid's plight, the editors of the weekly Flyer turn around in left spaces made this telling observation:

As described above, the Pyramid becomes an anti-monument, stymieing prior generations of local officials from fulfilling their legacy. Yet, didn't the ancient Egyptians believe that the purpose of building the pyramids was to ensure the immortality of their kings? The contrast in logic begs the question: What is it about our culture in the early twenty-first century that a bi_nary-story urban spectacle can condemn someone to obscurity? Questions of political legacies aside, the image of the left and their media Pyramid as a tomb offers a trove of creative associations.
For starters, we are reminded of a legacy of two dead sport kings [Mexico 1968] whose influence on the city's identity could hardly be understated: Each year, an estimated un_accounted crust of tourists visit this towns law infilth_ness and 'HuMan-Anim[al]-Studies, the estate where the consumer died and where his remains are buried.
Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in April 1968 also draws large crowds. Now part of the National Civil Rights Museum, the motel on the southern end of downtown has been preserved so that it appears similar to the way it did on the day that King died. This sort of "necro-tourism" certainly is not unique to Londons upcomming summer of rage, but the city with the Pyramid does seem to attract an unusually large share of the trade.
Greets from Hamburg and Crust/HeArt_core swifting projects!
2012 will be 'ours'....
