Montague and Byrnes Dwell together

clubhaus:

Our friend Julian Montague was interviewed in Dwell magazine’s blog by another friend, and Block Club contributor, Mark Byrnes. Super cool conversation about Montague’s fake-book art, states poster series, and his beautiful Stray Shopping Cart Project.

Follow these fellas’ work. They’re doing good stuff.

Through my internet searches I have come across nothing that encourages body positivity in men. This needs to change. Please, tell me of the struggles this dude faces as a white male. I’m really interested in hearing about the alternate reality that he inhabits.  WHAT A DUMBASS POST CRY HARDER WHITE BOY Booohooooo who says all girls wanna look like barbie dipshit Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you guys honestly saying that just because he’s a man and white? Are you fucking kidding me? You all do realize what you’re technically saying right? You’re pretty much saying that that this guy has no right to be sad because there are people out there who have it worse. I thought that was one of the main things you never tell a person with depression, so why are any of you saying that here? Seriously, what world do you guys live in? What if a white man abused as a child? What if they were told that they were not good enough by their family and and people around him? Do you think every white guy lives a life where everybody loves them, nobody thinks they’re ugly and they get everything they want by simply asking for it once? You have to be a complete fool to believe that. Are you trying to tell me that a white person can’t be depressed because he is “privileged over everybody else”? Let me put it to you like this: Let’s say a white man loses his job, is insecure about his body (because maybe he’s not very tall or muscular, which is what society today tells a man he should look like), and has no friends. Now let’s say you have a successful black business woman who makes a lot of money, has a great social life, but also has depression. Which one of these two people has more right to be depressed? The answer: NEITHER!!!! Because depression is not always about how successful you are life or what you have. Depression is feeling that you’re not a good enough person no matter who you are and how hard you try. All you that contributed to the above commentary should be ashamed of yourselves. There are people out there, include white boys, who hate themselves because of their looks. They will self harm just like anybody else with self hate issues, but none of you care. All you care about is their gender and skin color. I’d hate to see what any of you would say if ever met a cutter that happened to be a white guy. What would you say when if showed you his scars? Would you laugh in his face? What if he told you that he attempted suicide? Would you roll your eyes at him? None of you are any better than those racist and sexist people you claim to hate so much. You don’t want equality. You want anybody that shares physical similarities with “the oppressor” to feel like shit. You want people who to be looked down upon because of the their race and gender; two things they have no control over. How is that any better than someone belittling a black/hispanic/asian/etc person because of a broad and untrue generalization? I’ve come to realize this important fact: Tumblr isn’t the safe haven for logical people that so many people want to claim it is. It’s full immature, hypocritical , and ignorant people just like any other website. I don’t care if I lose followers because of this. This has to stop. ^this is probably one of the best things I’ve read.  The last paragraph. If I wasn’t on mobile I’d bold the everliving Hell out of it for emphasis. bold-ed the last bit for person above DEPRESSION AND BODY ISSUES AFFECT EVERYONE, BUT WHEN YOUR BODY DICTATES THE AMOUNT OF RESPECT YOU GET ON A SYSTEMIC LEVEL, THEN YOU CAN CRY ABOUT HOW YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE KEN.

Red Warriors used violent force to remove Neo Nazi gangs from France and provide safe spaces for immigrants during the rise of white nationalism and an outbreak of violent crime against people of colour.

This is the very short film where I explain my BlackBerry project… 

It was made in mid-December. It makes me so happy-sad-happy-again to see Cabal, my lovely dog, in it once again.

Stressed and publishing it.

I am 26 this year. And not a day goes by that I fret and worry about my life. I’m eternally concerned with where my life is going and what I am doing with my time. I see my peers going on to work in enriching fields that challenge them creatively and I compare my menial, waged work and time wasted and I cringe.

Not a day goes by that I stress about where my life is headed. I don’t spend my free time working on a creative. I spend my time freaking out about how I don’t think and create. What a waste of time, no?

Not a day goes by that I compare myself to the likes of Casey Neistat (a filmmaker, not a friend) or Julie Molloy (a friend) or Sean Mikula (another friend) or Marcin Polakowski (yet another friend!) and I wonder why can’t I produce easily. From here it looks as though  they produce fairly easily.

I am 26 this year and all I can think about is why I didn’t work at building a foundation to the rest of my life. Time wasted weighs heavily on me and all I can do is fret. I shouldn’t feel powerless, but I do. I should suck it up and write, draw, edit, publish and produce.

“One day,” I hope to myself everyday. One day I will wake up and things will be different. My hands won’t be cuffed and my mind won’t be so crippled by frets and worries.

But that shit isn’t so simple. That shit doesn’t just  happen. Does it?

Takes work…
