Shrine and Punishment
Explaining why Dean McClure dragged his twelve-foot crucifix through the streets of Bristol
Discordia does not, it turns out, hate everything. Every other week, we share a piece of new or gently-used work from an artist who's earned our respect.
There is art that moves us, and there is art that moves with us. This is Fellow Travellers.
Today we present a dispatch from Dean McClure (AKA Shrine Crimes), the peripatetic international prankster behind the Truth Seekers Ball, the Bristol + Bath Enlightenment Fair, and other obscure rituals.
Dean McClure is an Australian experimental ritualist currently based in Bristol, UK.
Interested in being a Fellow Traveller? Email your poetry, prose, visual art, etc. to discordia.sucks@gmail.com. We pay (not much), and pieces are collected a few times a year in a small print edition.
