CUBISTS LAUNCH UNNAVIGABLE WEBSITE

The International Society of Cubists officially launched its Web site today, a brilliant rejection of natural form and perspective that metaphysically establishes the implication of movement, analytically redefines spatial relationships, and is an absolute bitch to navigate.

"What the hell is this? I can't tell how to get anywhere," one of the site's first visitors told the Cubist Society's Webmaster-Curator, Paulo Cassat. "Is this art, or is this a Web site?"

"Thank you," Cassat responded.


According to Society President Francisco Bernioz, the group launched the site to bring attention to Cubism, which was founded in the early 20th Century by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. The Society also hopes to establish a scholarship fund for young cubist painters and sculptors. However, at a public showing of the site here in Spain's capital, most initial visitors were clearly uncomfortable with the design, especially the artists the site intends to help.

MENOPAUSE, IMPOTENCE, ART


(From Our Arts Reporter)
Moenui opera-buff John 'Giovan
ni' Brown premiered his new one man show 'Impotence-the opera' in the Moenui town-hall last night. The opera, inspired by the highly successful musical 'Menopause-the musical' is described as 'the story of everyman.'
Brown who is the sole performer and writer of the show says that the success of the Menopause show motivated him to write an opera for men which expresses 'the angst, worry and pathos in the death of manhood."

"It is something that all men can identify with. In the darkness of the theatre men experience a profound feeling of oneness with the performer and the others around them."

Early reviews have been mixed. The Kainui Chronicle said that "the dramatic structure of the opera was compromised by the lack of a real climax," while the Tumescence Times Tribune recommended it as a great place to buy cheap Viagra.

Mr Brown said that his next show will be entitled 'Incontenance- A Celebration'
