Hi!! Please tell us why you theorize Edward VI as gay/mlm! Also is that Anne of Cleves from SIX as your profile picture?

hello! sorry for the delay of my answer. first, yes my profile picture is from SIX. And I’m aware that by saying that I lost a lot of “credibility” in the eyes of some people. But OH WELL.

DISCLAIMER: I am NO historian, please don’t hate on me, I just wanted to open the topic because I felt crazy as I was the only one I knew, even after intense research, who theorised that, so yeah. I’m only almost 17 years old and I’m french. Please don’t attack me.

So, long story short, everything ties around Barnaby Fitzpatrick. I feel like I explained a lot of times, but I’m going to use this as my “base answer”.

For background, it’s necessary to remember than Barnaby Fitzpatrick (born in 1535) was an Irish Protestant Baron. And, no offence to Irish people, but Irish-born people weren’t the best considered. Plus Barons are, as far as I know, one of the lowest classes of the nobility. His father actually came to the English court -and converted to Protestantism- when Barnaby was a toddler, let’s say. But I’m derailing.

And so, Barnaby becomes Edward’s whipping boy, and they grow fond of each other.

Unrelated trivia, but actually, Richard Cox admitted that he had beaten both of the kids with his staff.

But let’s move on, I’m sorry I thought that having the foundations of the fact that, really, Barnaby wasn’t made to have such a social-climbing due to his birth conditions were important.

It is also un-forgettable that Edward VI was a very stoic, antipathic individual who cherished only a couple of people, but to a point that makes it stand out since it is “unusual” and even more, Barnaby really IS the maximum of affection that Edward VI ever addressed to anyone - or anything.

And then... Barnaby becomes Employee of the Privy Chamber of Edward, who became king. And, if I remember well, the most prominent one/the leader, and the only one close to the age of Edward (understand: not 25 years old teacher). Which marks their close bond for sure. Edward, who had endured, let’s be honest, a whole load of trauma and has been betrayed by some people in his circles, had immense trust in Barnaby, who remained harmless.

And then despite the bankrupt caused by Henry VIII before him, Edward sends his “dearest companion” to France. And their correspondence is really interesting. Notably this:

“For women, as far as you may, avoid their company. Yet if the French King commands you, you may sometimes dance, so measure be your means.”

Also that, according to a website that I’ll link as soon as I find it again:

In another set of letters, at the end, he notified “Tui amantissimus, E. Rex.” and as far as I am no Latin expert, amant totally means suitor in french, and Barnaby was in... you guessed it. But here I might be pulling strings.

The part about avoiding women proves a very protective side of Edward (FYI Barnaby answered something among the lines of “I’m starting to believe you give me fatherly care rather than a friendly one” to this), but again... It’s a bit ambiguous.

Barnaby comes back rushyly from France on the 8th or 9th of December 1552, and would not quit his dying friend until the end of the latter’s life. Along with a group of other soon-to-be-ex employees of the Privy Chamber that would not quit the monarch.

Now my last argument relies on a question you might have “Where are Barnaby letters?”. Well... They have disappeared. The most common theory is that Mary burnt some of them, since they were in the place that Edward used to live in and that Mary inherited by becoming queen, Barnaby keeping Edward’s. But then... Why would she care? Why taking of her royal time to destroy some Irish 17-years-old letters? Why only some of them?

I’ll probably add on stuff I forgot on the way of writing it on one setting by rebbloging this and adding in, or modifying.

Again, we’ll probably never know for sure. And I know the terminology would’ve been different than our 21th century homoromantic label. But this was a thing I never saw discussed, while people tend to pair Edward (sometimes for little to no reason) with either Jane Dormer or Jane Grey.

Don’t hesitate to add your thoughts! Just be respectful and civil, please. Love on y’all. I’m not against people being reticent at my THEORY, and thinking after looking onto this that it was only a friendship. I’m however kinda meh at people being against the idea only after looking at the title. Stay hydrated too.

HOPE IT MAKES SENSE AAAAAH.

Anne Cox Chambers Award Announced

Originally published by Cox

A love for her communities. A passion for helping others. A commitment to doing the right thing. These are just a few of the values of Anne Cox Chambers. To honor her legacy, our company has created an award in her name that recognizes Cox employees who are making an impact through volunteerism and community service. The inaugural winner is Christine Romero, a client solutions specialist at Cox Automotive.

Finding a Way to Help

As the daughter of Cox’s founder Governor James M. Cox, aunt of our Chairman Jim Kennedy and grandmother of President and CEO Alex Taylor, Mrs. Chambers led a purposeful life dedicated to the causes she was passionate about. Romero experienced that same level of energy and interest in helping others when the COVID-19 pandemic began impacting her community earlier this year. She knew she wanted to contribute and immediately knew how.

Many years ago, Romero's grandmother, Anne Chambliss, taught her to sew. Similar to Mrs. Chambers, Romero's grandmother was dedicated to helping others and that inspired Romero to set up her sewing machine and get to work. Soon after, she realized a lot of older people in her neighborhood might need help. In a Facebook forum, she offered to sew masks for anyone who needed them.

The rest, as they say, is history. The post was quickly picked up and shared by neighbors, friends and others and requests for masks began flooding in. Since then she’s provided more than 3,200 face masks for nursing homes, local hospitals, police departments, schools and countless other individuals and organizations. And she even enlisted a young helper — her 10-year-old daughter Paige.

Romero's selfless commitment made her the ideal candidate for the first Anne Cox Chambers Award. Taylor presented Romero with the award virtually at an all-employee meeting Sept. 1, commenting that she exemplifies the humble spirit of his late grandmother. Mrs. Chambers spent most of her life as a community leader and philanthropist, especially for the arts and animal welfare. She passed away earlier this year at the age of 100.

Paying it Forward

In recognition of the winner of the Anne Cox Chambers Award, The James M. Cox Foundation will make a $10,000 grant to the nonprofit organization of the winner’s choice. Romero said she has chosen to give the grant money to Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston — a place that’s special to her because her grandmother (who passed away in 2010) volunteered there and loved children.

Romero said she was speechless and overcome with emotion when she first learned she was receiving the award.

“There are not enough words,” Romero said. “I’ve been with different companies where you just feel like you’re a number. This company, they just continuously shock me with their empathy for people, especially the people that work for them. I’ve never worked for a company like this before.”

Art F City: This Week’s Must-See Art Events: Have Your Cake & Smash It Too

Video still from Jen Catron and Paul Outlaw’s piece for the show “Cake Hole” at Mrs. We can’t wait to see the context for this!

Welcome to the new normal. We at AFC have noticed a decline in artistic output from Brooklyn’s DIY scene as of late, while commercial galleries and institutions in Manhattan (and a few in Queens) have been gearing-up for battle mode with politically-charged programming. We’re hoping this is because everyone in Brooklyn is too busy thinking about resistance, and not because they’ve fled the country.

Tuesday night, The New School is hosting a talk about female bodies online, and Wednesday, the New Museum is opening a massive Raymond Pettibon show. After checking it out, head down the block to ICP, where curators will be discussing the loaded Perpetual Revolution: The Image and Social Change. More talks will come Thursday, such as the Brooklyn Museum’s call to defend immigrants and the Flux Factory/ABC No Rio potluck/opening/discussion about artists’ mutual aid in times like these. Friday night, take a break from political angst to get lost in the dreamy paintings of Jordan Kasey at Nicelle Beauchene, or the likely dreamier office set E.S.P. TV has staged at Pioneer Works. The weekend brings more great art and opportunities for creative resistance: be sure to check out the Queens Museum’s event to build climate change resistance coalitions between artists and activists.

Tue

Theresa Lang Community and Student Center, Arnhold Hall, The New School

55 West 13th Street New York, NY 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Website

On Feminism, Our Bodies Online

If you’re a cyberfeminist who’s ever been banned from Instagram, or anyone who has run in the art-school circles of Tumblr, this talk’s for you. Join female net artists for a conversation “on how women wield images of their bodies online as a tool of power and/or as sexual objectification, exploring the question of who is allowed to use their body in this way.” That’s a loaded question, one that’s certainly divided many feminists of different schools of thought. This ought to get juicy.

Panelists: Johanna Fateman, Ann Hirsch, Amanda Hunt, André Singleton, moderated by Carmen Winant

Wed

New Museum

235 Bowery New York, NY 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Website

Raymond Pettibon: A Pen of All Work

Fans of Raymond Pettibon, rejoice! Curated by Gary Carrion-Murayari and Massimiliano Gioni, this will be the first major museum retrospective dedicated to artist who defined so much of punk’s visual culture. For decades, Pettibon has caricatured American culture, from its naive idealism to counterculture rebellions to the fucked-up mess that is today. Hundreds of pieces spanning the artist’s career will be here, as will a fully-illustrated catalog. To any secret admirers out there, that’s a dream Valentine’s Day gift.

International Center of Photography

250 Bowery New York, NY 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.Website

Curators' Talk: Perpetual Revolution; The Image and Social Change

ICP’s exhibition Perpetual Revolution: The Image and Social Change has been generating quite a bit of buzz in our circles due to its timely focus on imaging political issues from protests to climate change. Opinions seem to be mixed about the show, but that should make this talk even more compelling. I’m particularly interested in the collection “The Right-Wing Fringe and the 2016 Election.”

Curated by Cynthia Young, Carol Squiers, Susan Carlson, Claartje van Dijk, Joanna Lehan, Kalia Brooks, Quito Ziegler

Thu

Brooklyn Museum

200 Eastern Parkway Brooklyn, NY 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.Website

Defending Immigrant Rights: A Brooklyn Call to Action

The Brooklyn Museum is partnering with the Brooklyn Community Foundation to present this meeting about the crisis wrought by Trump’s terrible immigration policies. This is probably one of the most important things you could be doing in a museum this week.

With Linda Sarsour, Arab American Association of New York; Murad Awawdeh, New York Immigration Coalition; Carl Lipscombe, Black Alliance for Just Immigration; Lisa Schreibersdorf, Brooklyn Defenders Services; and Nayim Islam, DRUM/Desis Rising Up and Moving. Moderated by Cecilia Clarke, President and CEO of Brooklyn Community Foundation. Panelists represent community-based organizations funded through the foundation’s newly established Immigrant Rights Fund. Presented in collaboration with the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art.

Flux Factory

39-31 29th Street Queens, NY 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.Website

Against Competition/Towards Mutual Aid

Legendary L.E.S. punk cultural center ABC No Rio is in exile while their structurally unsound former home is rebuilt. Fortunately, Long Island City’s Flux Factory is hosting events co-presented by the Manhattan institution while it’s temporarily homeless. I can’t think of a better working arrangement for two art spaces to present this show.

The premise of Against Competition/Towards Mutual Aid is that artists need to work together (in many different senses) rather than competing, as the capitalist system would have us believe. This exhibition is the result of collaborations that involved idea, tool, or skill sharing across disciplines. The opening features a potluck and the panel discussion Artist as Ally.

Artists: Razan AlSalah, Rachel Brown, Lee Brozgol, Kerry Cox, Elizabeth Demaray, Rachel Haberstroh, Robert Hieger, Rachel Hillery, Christopher Lin, Jemila MacEwan, Firoz Mahmud, Liz Naiden, Anatole Hocek, Patrícia Silva, Alex Strada, Julieta Triangular, Moira Williams, Ariel Zakarison, Joanie Fritz Zosike.

This project is organized by ABC No Rio Visual Arts Collective members Vandana Jain, Mike Estabrook, Brian George, and Steven Englander, and Flux Factory Artists-In-Residence Eleni Theodora Zaharopoulos and Christina Freeman.

The Kitchen

512 West 19th Street New York, NY 8:00 p.m.Website

Raúl De Nieves & Colin Self : The Fool

Raúl De Nieves and Colin Self are two of New York’s best genre and gender bending visual artists. I can only imagine what this performance—a four-part chamber opera—is going to look like. Both artists’ practices flirt with fashion, music, drag, and a variety of media and aesthetics. An opera sounds like the perfect synthesis of all of the above.

Starring Colin Self as the Old Woman, Raúl De Nieves as The Fool and the Dog, Alexandra Drewchin as the Child, and Mehron Abdollmohammadi as the Mother. Organized by Matthew Lyons.

Fri

Nicelle Beauchene Gallery

327 Broome Street New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.Website

Jordan Kasey: Exoplanet

I’ve been fortunate enough to have spent a lot of time looking at Jordan Kasey’s work. In Baltimore, I’ve lived close to several of her murals, and I’ve always found them haunting. Her paintings have an eerie quality—forms are rendered with a variety of individual spatial logics, meaning figures or objects might pop out from the surface or float in ambiguous planes. They’re the type of painting that remind me why seeing the medium IRL will never be obsolete.

Pioneer Works

159 Pioneer Street Brooklyn, NY 7:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.Website

E.S.P. TV: WORK

E.S.P. TV, the collaborative mobile television program from Scott Kiernan and Victoria Keddie, is giving Pioneer Works a screen-ready makeover. They’ve relocated all of the art space’s offices and workers to the main gallery, where the organization’s 9-5 work will take place in a film set version of their office. This includes bluescreens and other interventions that sound like the space will feel a bit like a soap opera. Knowing what the nonprofit art world is like, we’re expecting this to be pretty entertaining.

Sat

Gavin Brown's enterprise

291 Grand St New York, NY 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.Website

Bjarne Melgaard & Bjørg: The Casual Pleasure of Disappointment

Who knows what to expect from this show? Gavin Brown’s website features a flyer promising a “new streetwear collection” and “sex booths”, along with this video, which compels us to “ESCAPE THE ENDLESS OPTIMISTIC SPIRIT” and CGI porn of Jar-Jar Binks fucking Queen Amidala (or perhaps one of her lookalike bodyguards?) Whatever this exhibition is going to look like, we’re prepared for a healthy dose of Melgaard’s dark comedic sensibility. Maybe some good-old-fashioned gallows humor is just what we need.

chashama 266

266 West 37th Street New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.Website

Vita Eruhimovitz: Alternative Facts

What a well-named exhibition! The subjectivity of reality has never been a more hot-button issue, and Eruhimovitz’s work fits nicely into the discourse of false promises. Her sculptures and multi-media pieces address synthetic landscapes, idealized lifestyle branding, and pastoral romanticism in consumer culture. Appropriately, in a month when our EPA has been gutted, these fantasies and objects of desire speak “to the beauty of technological advance and toxic waste.”

Mrs.

60-40 56th Drive Queens, NY 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.Website

Cake Hole

The event description here features a surprisingly interesting history of cakes in western civilization from Jennifer Coates. If that’s any indication, a show all about cakes might be as smart as it is fun-sounding. Mostly, we’re looking forward to seeing whatever perpetual AFC favs Jen Catron and Paul Outlaw have cooked up. They never disappoint.

Artists: Jen Catron and Paul Outlaw, Robert Chamberlin, Caroline Wells Chandler, Jennifer Coates, Will Cotton, Gary Komarin, Aubrey Levinthal, Tracy Miller, Walter Robinson, Amy Stevens, Mie Yim

Presented in collaboration with Doppelgänger Projects

Sun

Queens Museum

New York City Building, Flushing Meadows Corona Park Queens, NY 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.Website

Care as Culture: Artists, Activists and Scientists Build Coalitions to Resist Climate Change

Facilitated through Mierle Laderman Ukeles’ “Peace Table,” this discussion invites artists and activists to share strategies for combating the ever-worsening threat of climate change. This will kick-off with case studies from the field. Now that we basically have to operate on the assumption that the federal government is doing the opposite of preventing the looming disaster, it’s up to us plebes to figure something out.

Presenters include Newton Harrison, The Natural History Museum, Natalie Jeremijenko, and Mary Mattingly. Respondents include Carol Becker, Francesco Fiondella, Allan Frei, Hope Ginsburg, Alicia Grullon, Amy Lipton, Lisa Marshall, Jennifer McGregor, Aviva Rahmani, Jason Smerdon, Stephanie Wakefield, and Marina Zurkow.

Lesley Heller Workspace

54 Orchard Street New York, NY 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.Website

A Room Behind A Room: Recent Trends in Video Art

Curated by Lenore Malen, this show surveys diverse approaches to using ever-more accessible digital video techniques. This includes Jun Hee Mun’s experiments with Freeware, and a piece from Ingrid Zhuang (pictured) in which the artist’s severed body navigates a video-gamescape of mutant genetically engineered foods.

Artists: Sarah Lasley, Jung Hee Mun, Alona Weiss, Ingrid Zhuang.

Leslie Heller is also opening two other exhibitions that night: Monika Zarzeczna’s Recent Sculptures in the front gallery and Struck Off Center, curated by Brigitte Mulholland in the workspace. That show includes work by Jeff Fichera, Dan Gratz, Emily Hass, Clinton King, Raphael Zollinger, Vidvuds Zvedris
