 Bells for Rumney
Ralph, already devastated by the loss of Pegeen, had to endure months of persecution, before the civil action was dropped.
It was Ralph?s involvement with the Situationists that was most important for him, and which has in part led to the rediscovery of his work as an artist in recent years.
Ralph, it always seemed to me, embodied the best of the S.I., in his political intransigence and his intellectual curiosity, in his playfulness and wit, and in his anger at those who are running, and ruining, this world.

 Situationist International Online
THE BRITISH SITUATIONIST Ralph Rumney, who had conducted a number of psychogeographical forays into Venice the Spring of 1957, subsequently set out with the goal of a more systematic exploration of the area, hoping to be able to present an exhaustive account by around June 1958 (cf.
Having completed the initial elements of a plan of Venice whose notational technique clearly surpassed all psychogeographical cartography before it, Rumney imparted to his comrades his discoveries, his early conclusions and his hopes.
Rumney, struggling against innumerable difficulties, slowed down more and more by the territory he had attempted to cross, abandoned one line of research after the other, and in the end, as he communicated to us in his moving message of 20 March, came to a complete standstill.

Ralph Rumney qui avait mené dès le printemps de 1957 quelques reconnaissances psychogéographiques dans Venise, s’était ultérieurement fixé pour but l’exploration systématique de cette agglomération, et espérait pouvoir en présenter un compte rendu exhaustif autour de juin 1958 (cf.

But unlike Mension, who continued to lead an interesting, politically engaged life after his expulsion, Ralph Rumney did very little of interest after he was expelled from the SI in 1958.
Though Rumney says that he was expelled from the SI "politely, even amiably," he admits that it "hit me very hard." He goes on to say, "It was very demoralizing.
Perhaps Rumney's illness(es) -- he had emphysema, suffered from years of alcohol abuse, and eventually died of cancer at the age of 68 -- caused these interviews to be so awkward.

It was Pegeen's suicide in 1967, while married to Rumney, that led to his loss of custody of their son, Sandro.
But perhaps it was also this that has allowed Rumney to remain preserved in the aspic of alcoholism and activism, a living fossil of pre-Sixties bohemianism.
However, it's just as well that Rumney conceives of his life as art, because judging from the examples reproduced in this handsome volume, his actual art is complete pants.

 Ralph Rumney -- obituary
RALPH RUMNEY, the artist who has died aged 67, was the sole English founding member of the Situationist International, the subversive movement which helped to inspire the Paris riots of May 1968, the Sex Pistols, the K Foundation, the decor of the Hacienda Club in Manchester and Damien Hirst.
Rumney was there throughout the week-long meeting, supposedly representing the London Psychogeographical Committee (which did not exist).
Rumney's explicit series of Polaroid nudes, The Map is not the Territory (1985), was less about pornography than about the gap between the image and the real.

This is surprising, given the centrality of the city to the history of the SI.
Rumney (who died this year, shortly before the book’s publication in English) was the founder and sole member of one of several organizations that merged to form the SI, the London Psycho-ge ographical Society.
Psycho-geography, says Rumney “is concerned with places and the emotional states they provoke,” a study of how behavior relates to environment.

 Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | The suicide of Guy Debord
I was told that my sinister reputation in Situationist circles had been further darkened by my friendship with Ralph Rumney, British artist and founding member of the SI (he had been the first member expelled by Debord).
For Alice Debord, Debord's second wife, Ralph was an unspeakable "manipulator" who was trying to claim his place in history by "falsifying" the true story of the SI.
In the summer of 2000 Ralph Rumney organised an exhibition in the South of France commemorating "Situationist exiles", the artists who had been purged from the SI in its earliest incarnation.

Although one of the handful of SI founders, Ralph Rumney, is English, Anglophones were more than usually likely to fall out with the Parisian control group.
According to founding SI member Ralph Rumney, the SI "was extraordinarily anti-feminist in practice.
Women were there to type, cook supper and so on." Rumney, who was expelled for failing to turn in a "psychogeographical" report on time, claims that Debord took credit for theory produced by Bernstgein.
