Before the availability of the tape recorder and during the 1950s, when vinyl was scarce, people in the Soviet Union began making records of banned Western music on discarded x-rays calling it ‘bone music’. With the help of a special device, banned bootlegged jazz and rock ‘n’ roll records were “pressed” on thick radiographs salvaged from hospital waste bins and then cut into discs of 23-25 centimeters in diameter. “They would cut the X-ray into a crude circle with manicure scissors and use a cigarette to burn a hole,” says author Anya von Bremzen.
I started to tag people who’d think this is cool
And then I realized that’s probably everyone
god released me into the wild and now he’s hunting me for sport
address the ship’s doctor as ‘my heart’, as befits his station
anyone else’s gay ass just thinking about like, arms? like, muscley… sexy arms. this is a gays only post
If there is no grief in this just the old body/ year / world swallowing itself
If what’s left has gone to grass and dirt— Nina Puro, from “Executive Action,” published in Witness

Artist: Jorge Marín
Mexico 1963
With over 25 years of artistic work, Jorge Marín has successfully entered into Mexico’s artistic scene and has become a representative of figurative international sculpture. The sculptures of Jorge Marín reflect in bronze the intrinsic strength and force that emanates from its creation and permits him to construct dynamic bodies, full of movement, which challenges gravity and rotates in space supported on one point.
His work represents the struggle between the coldness of bronze and the diverse emotions that his subjects evocate: the perfect balance of the equilibrists and his winged figures has become his particular seal. Another notable trait in his work is the mask, an attempt to depersonalise his sculptures and become another medium of expression of a body that contains universal symbols in itself.
