1C. “It is necessary to travel. It is not necessary to live.” – WSBurroughs influencing V. Vale on TOUR & DESTROY, organized by Chris Fitzpatrick & friends
Having recently returned from a whilrwind tour of Belgium and Holland (“the Lowlands”), we are still in recovery mode, both from jetlag and an overload of unprocessed memories of people we met and spent time with, and much more. Was the human mind built to meet and remember this many people in 10 days? Remember J.G. Ballard‘s remarks about “the village theory” (in RE/SEARCH #8/9) – about 225 people seems to be the limit of what we can deal with in a “village.” You madly take photographs of everybody you meet, but do you “know” any of them? Only through their deeds, really. And a number of people we met did enough deeds to make a huge difference in making our travel not only do-able, but even fun! And, is “fun” always “unexpected”?! Is “surprise” an essential component of “fun”? Sometimes you don’t know what “really” happened until you “recollect in tranquility” or look back in amazement…
However, not only do you meet people, you meet “things”; you find things, people give you things, you trade your things for other people’s things. (In our case, it’s mostly publications on paper!) If you’re a photographer, make a portrait of a person with as many of their precious “things” in the background as possible, because What You Choose changes Who You Are (with both things and people; especially the latter). Having said that, Who WE “are” is always a Work-In-Progress, forever changing, like “Love,” ha ha (uhm, this is a bad pun on the Sixties band “Love”; the title of their third LP). Sometimes we might even mutate… a bit. Definitely: We are Verbs Not Nouns. If you meet someone, instead of, “Who are You?” ask about “What You’ve DONE?” And try to remember: “Your only FREE WILL is your Power To Say NO.”
We give heartfelt thanks to Objectif Exhibitions and Rietveld Academie (Chris, Julie, Pieter, & students), Babeth, 019’s Valentijn, Karin & Ewoud, Eloise, Kelsey, Nessie, Moritz/Lee, Marilou, Florian, and many others who made TOUR & DESTROY happen vivaciously…
A very witty young woman named Renee Turner wrote the following review of V. Vale at Printroom (Rotterdam) Fri Sept 12, with questions from Karin de Jong and Cramer Florian:
• Renee Turner September 13 via iPhoto ·
• Yesterday at PrintRoom, a conversational drift with V. Vale, musician, writer and engine behind RE/Search Publications.Endless threads were started, dropped, and taken up again – albeit in different directions. Much like the audience, the moderators, Karin de Jong & Cramer Florian, could only surrender to Vale’s ebbs and flows.While impossible to pinpoint an overarching theme, it was clear San Francisco’s Beat generation heavily influenced the Punk scene. Rather than being informed by nihilism and boredom – Vale’s Punk was infused with curiosity, channeling, chance, making things, and last but not least, anger.
Here are a few quotes I gleaned from his endless stream:
“Bruce Conner gave me this idea that maybe all undergrounds are the same…”
“It’s so fun to be an amateur anthropologist.”
“So, let me return to this idea that if all undergrounds are the same…well, they aren’t really…”
“Punk is really informed by paranoia.”
“I suppose I’m a skeptical empiricist – or I think that’s what you call it.”
“I’m a huge fan of channeling.”
“What I call Punk Rock is indubitably linked to Surrealism.”
“Oh my gosh you said, “ ‘Cadavre exquis’ – wow, that sounds so much better in French. ‘Exquisite corpse’ just isn’t the same, is it?”
“Forget the idea of the rebel dying young (I hate that…). I say: Live long and keep fighting!”

7. LETTERS FROM READERS:
() “V. Vale!
Thanks for getting back to me so soon. It’s amazing to get right through to you, the author of the magazine. I must tell you that this particular publication has meant the lot to me as a young woman. It has comforted me, made me laugh and given me hope of some sort. A dear friend introduced me to Ballard, probably in 1987 and soon after my swallowing of The Atrocity Exhibition and High Rise, he gave me a copy of your magazine. Since then I have had numerous copies, but always felt like giving them away. I think now is the time I get my own, and keep it.
… I would like to get a copy before they are out of reach. Best, Kristine”
() “Here’s a Joan Rivers joke : “Men say they want an intelligent woman but no man ever put his hand up a woman’s dress looking for a library card” I’m sure it will offend the politically incorrect crowd….anyway why did I mention this — because she was punk rock before punk rock….remember “you can dress like a rebel or you can be a rebel…”….mc (“I suppose you can do BOTH simultaneously” — maybe!!!
