USA Exquisite Corpse
"The Artist's Call to Service"
Jon Henry, National Chairman
 |
In 2003, Jon Henry was appointed National Chairman of the USA Exquisite Corpse by Secretary Packer. Upon confirmation, he took it upon himself to face the war machine and bring its practices into question. In his attempts to disengage it he has fallen in the line of duty. A viewing of his body is being held at the Experimental Party DisInformation Center from August 21 - September 4. |
To My Dear Assembly, Today
I will ask you a question of utmost importance that cannot be
taken lightly. You must consider my request as though you would
consider yourself a free person. I wish to ask you to stand
beside me in a call to service to defend your freedom as an
individual and to protect our great nation against the imperial
threat that fastens its hold over our souls. I would like to
call you to join your fellow activists and artists in an awakening
of the USA Exquisite Corpse.
Our country was created as a functioning clock-work of Art. It is interpreted and engaged. It is deconstructed and reassembled. It is a constant continuum that changes as our lives change and adapts to us as we adapt to reality. Through its ambiguous nature and its perpetual work we can secure our hopes as a species and take back the land that is ours to command. We must look to our past at the great freedoms and changes that we have secured through our revolutions and civil movements. We must follow the tradition of our forefathers and amend the constant threat that endangers our will to freedom. We must realize that if we become too comfortable in our lazy-boy remote control world, if we allow ourselves to be hypnotized by the government driven media and television, it will be ourselves to blame for our nation’s end. We must take back what is rightfully ours, and we must do it with great speed and will. As Americans we are given a great gift that comes with a grave responsibility. We are free to speak our will and create an image of ourselves as we see fit. From this center of individuality and through our own personal integrity we can empower ourselves with the ability to secure our freedom. As Americans it is our duty to protect this country and sustain it as a center of liberty and independence. We must respond now through action and mediation to ensure the revolutionary spirit that lies dormant in our hearts. We must uplift our minds and rise above the shroud of darkness that hangs over our shoulders. We must awaken our American Spirit. We must awaken the Spirit of the Revolution. As you all see, I took it upon myself to represent the challenges that lie ahead. As the National Chairman of the USA Exquisite Corpse I designed an image of an epic race against the machine in hopes of explaining the means for which we struggle. I have sacrificed myself in order to reveal the true nature of the time that all must face. I give to you an exquisite corpse, a mass of soldiers ascending from my grave, a body of aesthetic to protect the Spirit of America. Through these measures I can assure you that the Spirit of Revolution will be awakened. The situation is yours to command and the space is yours to sculpt. You are the conductor of this infinite composition and you must find a means for its conclusion. Eternally yours, Jon Henry, National
