4Me4You Features - “ICONS”.

ARTIST: BOOGIE MOLI

4me4you visits Quantus Gallery, which featured BOOGIE MOLI - “ICONS”.

Moli’s Icons celebrates sporting icons such as Pelé, Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan, but is also underpinned by a layered social and cultural commentary, including nods to his African roots.

Boogie first took a brush to trainers and started selling them to friends, but soon moved on to canvases, and inspired by his idols such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, George Condo and LA-based artist Retna, soon developed his own graffiti-style of work.

Moli Icons bears the influence of Pop Art (most evident in his détournement-heavy portraits of Andy Warhol and Marilyn Monroe), which is one of several artistic touchstones for Boogie. He also uses several interesting techniques, including wheat paste as an adhesive, the mix for which Boogie makes himself.

and here’s some more book reviews from Sara

Outline

by Rachel Cusk

The truth is that I struggled to pick my favorite book or writing from Rachel Cusk. All three novels in her

Outline series

are fantastic, and I’ve reread each of them first with passion and then again with a studious eye. For me there is the lonely, yet pragmatic, keen observational protagonist that appeals to me deeply. But also, a woman traveling, forever on the receiving end of looping conversation with strangers. I find her writing extremely romantic. What I’d most like to include on this list, is a piece of her writing from the

New York Times Magazine

: "Making House: Notes on Domesticity." It is a perfect piece of writing about the struggle of making a home and living it in comfortably. “Like the body itself, a home is something both looked at and lived in, a duality that in neither case I have managed to reconcile. I retain the belief that other people’s homes are real where mine is a fabrication, just as I imagine others to live inner lives less flawed than my own.

”

Fire Sermon

by Jamie Quatro

Jamie Quatro’s novel about devotion, longing, lust and god was impossible to put down. I read it in one giant gulp. While male writers are given ample opportunity to write about these ideas, it still feels rare and thrilling when women do.

Sing, Unburied, Sing

by Jesmyn Ward

Everything Jesmyn Ward has written has haunted me afterward. Unblinking, brutal, heartbreaking stories. Her writing feels both modern and like something from a masterpiece that every student is meant to read in high school or college.

The Topeka School

by Ben Lerner

I love a hook, a melody that on first listen gives you goosebumps, or makes your stomach lurch up to your throat. Sometimes I hear one and I think, “that is a smash,” and then settle in to envy that I didn’t write the song myself. That was the feeling I had reading

I couldn’t help but compare our memoir because both books center adolescence and high school at their core. While Ben writes dazzlingly about masculinity and violence and the bubbling rage of teenage boys, I thought about the way we wrote about the paralysis and fear of being a queer girl in that same kind of world. While his boys turn their rage outward, we focused our violence inward, on the most tender parts of ourselves. Ben’s writing opens a door to understanding something about my own experience of those adolescent years. He sheds light on the parents and teachers whose complicated lives indelibly haunt our own, in ways we don’t realize until we become adults. It seems much of our public conversation revolves around what to do about and with men,

The Topeka School is a thrilling response. All of that to say, I think Ben’s book is a smash.

JUNE 3, 2009 1. The Flamethrowers by Rachel KushnerI was so captivated there was no choice but to finish it entirely in one long stretch of days. Passages so beautiful that I found myself re-reading them over and over again in amazement. I think it was in the Harpers Magazine review that they called it feminist and sexy. It’s true. An entirely fresh and inspiring heroine. 2. Light Years by James SalterSo many tears; on the tarmac, on the subway, tucked in my bus bunk. I will cherish this book forever. It is 40 years old and that made the discovery so much more powerful. It’s also a good reminder that I am sentimental and a romantic no matter how hard I try to resist those urges. I’ll cozy up with my tears any day, you can’t shame me! 3. Tenth of December by George SaundersThere aren’t very many writers with a body of work I love so completely. But, I think this is my absolute favourite. I have total admiration/awe for a mind this strange and wonderful

#tegan wrote a song for this book called Wolf at the Table by Augusten Burroughs #it sounds like it could be in the con #you can search it on youtube it's there #there's some * asteriks cause she spoke mo #more about those #or liked them more #Sara Quin #tegan and sara #i'm sorry if i'm spamming tns tags with so much text i only have like 5 posts to make i swear #i've had this shit in my notes for like literally 10 years #from like #and stuff from their insta story or other things #interviews #SKQREADS #arrested development and the crown are both so good #and Moonlight

This... Is BGNN

Things you might want to know, for Mar 18, 2023:

Disco Elysium gets a supercharged photo mode, free for everyone — I keep forgetting to play this on the stream… it’s just weird enough to go over well with my weird audience.

It’s too late to stop deepfake tech — so we all need to adapt — I agree with the sentiment, but it’s too early to even know what to adapt, much less how. The earth is moving beneath our feet, and it’s going to take years before it starts to feel like solid ground again. (Assuming it ever does.)

Modders use AI to give Skyrim's Dragonborn the voice of Master Chief, and I am once again asking if this is actually legal — To answer the question: almost certainly not. But that never stopped people from doing cool shit.

Evil Dead Rise is a movie for sickos by sickos — I’ve never been a Sam Raimi fan, and I don’t believe I’ve watched any of the Evil Dead movies. So they’re going to need to really change things up with this one to get my attention.

Sony wants to help low-vision users enjoy photography by shining lasers in their eyes — The price point —and Sony’s stated intent— is as close to corporate do-goodery as you’ll find in this world, right up there with Microsoft’s accessible controller gizmo.

It’s on sight between Ali Wong and Steven Yeun in Beef’s first trailer — Okay, you’ve got me. I’m in.

OpenAI co-founder on company’s past approach to openly sharing research: ‘We were wrong’ — Or put another way: “Holy shit, we’re way ahead of everyone, far more than we ever thought we’d be, and if we don’t seize this moment to secure our leadership via obscurity, we’ll end up like Tesla.” (By which I mean the actual genius steamrolled by Edison, and not the shitty car company run by Apartheid Clyde.)

Razer would very much like you to not set fires or bash anyone over the head with its 'first-ever glass gaming mouse mat' — I have wanted many dumb, needlessly luxurious things in my life, but I’ve never wanted anything this stupidly indulgent.

Netflix’s Pornhub documentary is out to radicalize and weaponize porn fans — I love porn, but seriously… fuck PornHub.

The 'BlackBerry' trailer looks funnier than you'd expect — Glenn Howerton is virtually unrecognizable.

TikTok’s refresh feature is for when you’re sick of your For You page — So if I get tired of watching dozens of tiny-waisted sluts in bikinis dancing to the exact same song clip, I can reboot my recommendations and… watch dozens of slightly different sluts dancing to the exact same song. Plus parkour!

What Thief has in common with submarine combat, and other tales from iconic but short-lived developer Looking Glass Studios — The first Thief was a passion of mine, and despite their obvious differences —first-person vs. third— it’s the game I always wanted Assassin’s Creed to be. I spent countless hours learning enemy patterns, figuring out weird ways to reach objectives, and manipulating the game’s physics… outside of Halo: Combat Evolved, I’ve never loved an FPS to the same extent.

Help, My Friend Wants To Sleep With A Married Man — I don’t care about the actual article here. What I find amusing is that it’s an advice column written by The Eve 6 Guy, who is apparently at utter peace with being The Eve 6 Guy for the rest of his life. I admire your chill, my man. Also, Inside Out was an awesome song.

Go behind the scenes of the disastrous Spider Man musical in Brian Michael Bendis's new comic — I’ve enjoyed Julie Taymor’s work in film —Across The Universe was great and The Tempest was an interesting exercise for Helen Mirren— but I’ve always been curious how Turn Off the Dark turned into such a disaster.

Black History Month tribute to George Foreman

Published: February 18, 2023

How many individual fighters can you name that were two entirely different fighters during the course of their career? Two men who look different, with different fighting styles, different personalities, fighting in different eras, both iconic in their own way. That is what the boxing career of George Foreman provided. Two chapters two decades apart cemented the legacy of one of the greatest prize-fighters of all time.

The term "living legend" has become a freely used cliche, but Foreman is the embodiment of it. This is a man who was a sparring partner for an active Sonny Liston in the 1960s, fought in the golden age of heavyweights alongside Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and Ken Norton in the 70s, then fought an in-prime Evander Holyfield, Tommy Morrison, and Michael Moorer in the '90s.

As Ali would say, a young Foreman in the '70s was a 'baaaaad maaaan.' At 6'3 and weighing in excess of 220 lbs, appropriately nicknamed "Big George," Foreman came out of Houston, Texas, won Olympic gold at the 1968 Games in Mexico City, then became one of the most vicious and daunting heavyweights in history. The elite were steamrolled in similar fashion to the journeymen. He was not always the friendly giant fans came to recognize in the second chapter of his career. Foreman, in the 70s, was a menacing, brutal heavyweight, bludgeoning his way through everybody while looking emotionless in doing so.

"My opponents don't worry about losing," Foreman once said. "They worry about getting hurt."

There are a few reasons as to why Ali's 'Rumble in the Jungle' victory against Foreman in 1974 is so historic. One of them is that prior to Ali's win, Foreman was considered genuinely unbeatable, a monster, one of the most devastating punchers the sport had known. In the late '80s and '90s, "Big George" was more of a thinking fighter. Foreman was now a much better boxer. He was older and slower, but fought with the relaxed confidence of a wisened fighter, without tension. Big George would now study his opponents and look to exploit weaknesses.

As Foreman said in his book, God In My Corner: A Spiritual Memoir: "Being older, I had to fight smarter. Instead of relying on my power, I had to concentrate on finding the weaknesses in my opponents, which I usually did."

Foreman is arguably, physically, the strongest heavyweight champion in history and one of the hardest-hitting punchers boxing has ever seen.

Holyfield, who fought Foreman in April 1991, was once asked about Foreman's vaunted power in an interview with Fight Hub TV, to which Holyfield responded: "He (Foreman) hit me one time, and my feet froze up, I'd never been hit like that before, and I remember coming back to the corner asking 'did he knock all my teeth out?'"

Alongside his incredible two-handed power, Foreman was mentally and physically tough, fearless, and had a great chin. He had a variety of devastating punches. Foreman had a sledgehammer of a jab, his uppercut and hook had neck-breaking power, and his right hand, whether thrown short or long, had lights-out power written all over it.

After 21 amateur fights, Foreman won Olympic gold within two years of changing his life for the better and replacing the troubled, poverty-stricken streets of Texas with a life dedicated to boxing. Foreman was showing from the very beginning that there are no limits to what he can achieve.

On his professional debut less than a year later, Foreman showed destructive punching power and then continued to display his power throughout his great career.

Before Foreman's demolition of Frazier in 1973, Frazier had wiped out the heavyweight division and established his greatness by handing Ali his first professional defeat. Frazier was the unbeaten, undisputed champion. A great champion, seen as close to invincible at the time. Then, Foreman came along and obliterated Frazier with six brutal knockdowns in two rounds to become champion less than four years into his professional career. Foreman's destruction of Frazier was up there with Jack Dempsey vs. Jess Willard and Liston vs. Floyd Patterson as the most vicious beatdown of a reigning heavyweight champion in history.

With this destructive display, Foreman immediately became the most feared heavyweight since Liston a decade earlier.

Foreman then also demolished Ken Norton in two rounds. He was proving to be just as effective at the highest level as against the below-par opponents, knocking out all in front of him in equally devastating fashion.

Heading into the Rumble in the Jungle against Ali, Foreman had beaten Frazier, and his first two challengers, one of whom included Norton, in a total of five rounds.

Foreman had become an irrepressible force of nature and was heading to Zaire with a genuine aura of invincibility. The sense of irresistible danger carried by Foreman made it impossible to believe that Ali would regain the title. Those right swings by Foreman were utterly devastating, and Ali was no longer the elusive marvel of the 60s. He had become hittable. Foreman had the appearance of a man who was en route to drastically bringing the magical legend of Ali to an end. This fight became one of the most famous in history. Implementing the infamous 'Rope-a-Dope,' Ali laid back on the ropes and beat Foreman with a tremendous display of ring acumen, intelligence, and physical and mental toughness. Ali used his extraordinary ability to anticipate and ride punches and lean away from shots to absorb all of Foreman's big punches for eight rounds, then pounced on an exhausted Foreman and knocked him out. Make no mistake, Ali did also have to display one of the best chins in heavyweight history to stand up to Foreman.

As Archie Moore, one of Foreman's cornermen on the night stated in Thomas Hauser's "Muhammad Ali, His Life and Times": "When George's blows did land, Ali took them with a marvelous show of disdain and managed to convince George that George couldn't punch."

Possibly only Ali could have defeated Foreman on that Zaire morning in a magnificent concoction of mental and physical brilliance to produce a true miracle and one of the greatest triumphs in boxing history.

Foreman's first title reign and aura of invincibility came to an end.

15 months after the demoralizing defeat to Ali, in January 1976, Foreman faced Ron Lyle, a powerful and tough ex-con, in an all-time great heavyweight war.

This was a slugfest from the opening bell. Foreman touched the canvas twice, and Lyle was dropped once in the fourth round before Foreman trapped Lyle in the corner in the fifth round and pummelled him relentlessly until Lyle went down for the last time. Any criticisms about Foreman's heart and will were emphatically answered.

After Foreman's unanimous decision defeat to Jimmy Young in 1977, Foreman quit boxing.

Immediately after his loss to Young, Foreman said he had a religious epiphany in the locker room. He stated he was on the verge of death and had a direct experience with God that changed his life forever. Big George quit boxing, dedicated his life to the Lord, and became an ordained minister. Another short footnote in the vast and illustrious history of boxing.. or so they thought.

Wins over Frazier, Norton, Lyle, and George Chuvalo in the first chapter of his career deserved the utmost respect, and just as Foreman was starting to be forgotten about after disappearing into oblivion, he made a huge comeback a decade later in 1987, with plenty still left in the tank.

Of course, initially, many did not believe they were witnessing one of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time. When Foreman ended his 10-year retirement at age 38, having ballooned to around 300 pounds, the world responded with mocking laughter, critique, and deep worry. Foreman no longer carried the aura of a man who demanded respect through fear. Foreman, now an ordained minister, kept the belief and determination and proceeded to work his way back toward the top.

Foreman's comeback started to be taken a bit more seriously on 15 January 1990 when he wiped out Gerry Cooney with a beautiful lead left uppercut to the chin, followed by a merciless right hand to the head. The joke was starting to be less on Foreman's comeback and more on the faces of those who made a mockery of Big George's comeback nearly 20 years after he first claimed the heavyweight title.

The last thing to leave a fighter is his punch, and one thing that even the biggest naysayers could not deny was that Foreman still possessed that soul-destroying power from his younger days.

During this second chapter of his career, he turned doubters into believers. At 45 years of age, Foreman immortalized himself forever by becoming the oldest heavyweight champion in history. To make this amazing achievement all the more impressive is the fact that this feat was not accomplished against a cherry-picked, weak champion. Foreman defeated an unbeaten and fleet-footed 26-year-old Michael Moorer, one of the top heavyweights of the '90s. Putting the ghosts of The Rumble In The Jungle to bed, Foreman wore the same shorts he did that morning in Zaire, and he had Angelo Dundee, Ali's old trainer, in his corner. Moorer was leading on the judges' scorecards until Foreman showed that his incredible punching power at 45 remained. He knocked out the younger, fresher champion in the 10th round with a big right hand on a historic night.

Three years earlier, on an iconic night in Atlantic City in April 1991 against Holyfield, with both Ali and Frazier in the ring prior to the fight, Foreman, aged 42, was competitive over 12 rounds against a young, undefeated Holyfield, who would also go on to become a heavyweight legend. This was special in itself. Becoming the oldest heavyweight champion in history against Holyfield's conqueror three years later was just truly amazing.

Foreman fought the best of the two greatest heavyweight eras in history, which were 20 years apart, and made it to the top of the mountain in both eras. The only man who ever stopped Foreman was Ali.

Foreman changed boxing forever, proving that age is just a number. A fighter's career is not necessarily finished once they hit 40 years of age. As George intended, he proved to the world that 'the age 40 is not a death sentence at all'.

Speaking to Thomas Gerbasi of Boxing News, Foreman said: "The one thing I do understand; nobody's got a monopoly on life and death. And it's not how long you live, it's the quality of the life you live, and I'm thankful for the quality of life."

Foreman is the only man from an extremely special trio of heavyweight champions that is still with us today. He can take pride in providing lasting memories for many and being such an inspiration both inside and outside of the ring for future generations to follow.
