A Beginner's Guide to Radial City
We can now confirm that the Quantum Brother(s) will be participating in the Hay Poetry Jamboree.
At 12.00 on Saturday June 5th in the Salem Chapel, Hay-on-Wye, Powys, UK, Brother Paul will be making one of his rare re-appearances in the living flesh to present a screening of THE SLOW LEARNING and our most recent project A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO RADIAL CITY.
The entire programme runs for approximately fifty minutes and will be repeated later in the afternoon.
The Slow Learning: a video poem for TV, exploring “the terminal zones of the urban education industry” and “the slow motion of knowledge that’s just about to go fast forward into overwind…” Presented in various modes (performance/installation/screening) at the ICA, South Bank Centre & National Review of Live Art. Texts or audio relating to the work have been published in Poetics Journal, Toxic Poetry, Culture Court. First Offence & Negative Entropy.
Radial City: an urban intermedia travelogue, encompassing video & narrative. It relates to the activities of the Bureau, as well as prose fiction like “Radial Citizens”, recounting the fate of a Radial City poet.
The Quantum Brothers: a sporadic collaboration between Paul A. Green (text, voice & audio) and Jeremy Welsh (video, graphics & audio)

Brandon LaBelle: Accoustic Territories
Thursday 20th. May 6.00 pm at Hordaland Kunstsenter, Bergen, Brandon LaBelle will talk about his new book "Accoustic Territories"
From underground environments to the home, Brandon LaBelle traces the cultural and social movements of auditory life. Acoustic Territories continues the author’s interest in sonic culture and extends his earlier work, Background Noise: Perspectives on Sound Art, elaborating on the dynamics of sonic materiality and experience. LaBelle follows sound as it appears in specific auditory designs, as it is mobilized within various cultural projects, and ultimately queries how it comes to circulate through everyday life as a medium for social transformation.
Brandon LaBelle is an artist and writer. His work explores the space between sound and sociality, using performance and on-site constructions as creative supplements to existing conditions. He is the author of “Background Noise: Perspectives on Sound Art” (2006) and “Acoustic Territories: Sound Culture and Everyday Life” (2010). His ongoing project to build a library of radio memories was presented at Casa Vecina, Mexico City in 2008. He also collaborates within the collective working group, Surface Tension, and the working team, e+l.

a moment to share:
There is an upcoming moment I would like to share on BUU: Before the sun goes down today the Natland SB Galleri is going to welcome online the 1234th unique guest within 2 months time! That is a lot of an attention for just one nail. The director managing and the disposable curator are so proud and would be extra delighted if a BUU member is THE number 1234 looking at the 28 exposements or the 9 outrageous videos on display at the moment.

Re: Natland SB Art Gallery
Natland SB Art Gallery, which may be a front for the mysterious Senis Besmegenis,
exhibits temporary artworks and ephemera of the kind that those who are alert and attentive
might notice as they go about their daily business.
If you are the type that goes around with a camera in your pocket
you might get implicated in something similar.
There's always stuff out there just waiting for us.
For example, Thursday 6th. and Friday 7th. May 2010 had these items to offer:
