REGARDING MY "SIGNS"
|
|
by Eric Chaet
|
|
|
|
In 1986, I began silkscreening posters on (at first) cut-up old bed-sheets,
|
|
hitchhiking around USA and stapling them to utility poles. On such a posting
|
|
expedition I got a ride with a cloth merchant who started sending me boxes
|
|
of samples, the backs of which became my "canvas". I use yellow broad-cloth
|
|
these days, whenever I can afford it. I call these posters "signs". On them
|
|
is a stylized, indignant, male face - and sayings, including:
|
|
|
|
- Anxious to Serve
|
|
- Me Opone La Calle: Trabajo Todas Mis Dias y Noches Porque
|
|
Quiero Manana Otra Calle. (Spanish: The Street Opposes
|
|
Me: I Work All My Days & Nights Because I Want, Tomorrow,
|
|
a Different Street.
|
|
- Girls Growing Up, They're Selfish & Mad - Boys Growing Up,
|
|
They Just Want To Be Bad - It's Not Right! Not Right!
|
|
- Searching For Allies & Fighting Off Lies
|
|
- Voce E Como Eu en Este Respeito, O Que Voce Faz Tem O Su
|
|
Efeito (Portuguese: same as next:)
|
|
- You're Like Me In This Respect, What You Do Has Its Effect
|
|
- Du Ar Som Jag I Den Har Fragan, Det Du Gor Paverkar
|
|
(Swedish: same as above)
|
|
- Develop Inherent Powers By Shedding False Ideas, Learning
|
|
Truth, Aligning Actions. Despite Injustice & Normal Madness,
|
|
Change Yr Situation & Our World Forever For Better.
|
|
- What You Do or Don't Do & How, & How Well You Do What You Do
|
|
Has Its Effect, Tho the Controllers & Controlled Withhold
|
|
Acknowledgment, & Results Are Not Immediately Apparent
|
|
- Seek Truth, Develop Capacities
|
|
- Allons, Chacun, Pendant Que Nous Vivon - Apercevoir la Verite
|
|
Meme, Agiter le Faux, Nettoyer le Coeur, Achever la Justice
|
|
Vraie (French: Come on, Each one, While We're Living - Let's
|
|
Perceive Truth Itself, Shake Up Untruth, Clean the Heart,
|
|
Achieve Actual Justice)
|
|
- Help One Another Succeed
|
|
|
|
I put them up in public places, in 33 states. I paged through "Who's Who"
|
|
(it took months) and wrote asking hundreds of people to cooperate. Around a
|
|
dozen people posted a sign or several here and there - including China,
|
|
Inner Mongolia, India, Uzbekistan (two in The Museum of Peace and
|
|
Solidarity, Samarkand), Russia, Norway, and the Netherlands (a store-front
|
|
window). A bishop posted one in a chapel in Wisconsin (USA), a monk posted
|
|
one in a chapel in southern India - plus several in the area. Lawrence
|
|
Ferlinghetti posted one in his City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco.
|
|
British novelist D.L. and Los Angeles TV actor E.A. sent some money. As of
|
|
November 19, 1999, I know of 1454 "signs" posted around the world.
|
|
|
|
I seek to spark the self-remembering of individuals; realization of the
|
|
possibility of acting to effect; reflection on the difference between what
|
|
is normal and what is wise, useful and good; and courage to participate in
|
|
turning the tide of what people are doing.
|
|
|
|
If you are willing to put up one or several in public places, I will send
|
|
them to you for free. It would be nice if you would send me a photo of a
|
|
posted sign, but not required. If you will translate "YOU'RE LIKE ME IN THIS
|
|
RESPECT, WHAT YOU DO HAS ITS EFFECT" or another of the shorter sayings above
|
|
into your language, I will make some signs just for you, for the purpose.
|
|
|
|
You can e-mail me at <echaet@gbonline.com>.
|
|
|
|
(If you want signs merely for your personal collection, I will charge you a
|
|
little money. If you are young, they may - or may not - be worth a lot,
|
|
monetarily, before you are terribly old. That's not their purpose, tho.
|
|
Still, I could use the money.)
