The most recent Jut tribute
is at Flinders and Spencer, a tram riveted at 10 degrees perpendicular. It
intends a moon launch: Not Taking Passengers. Early Jut is outside the SLV, an
angled entablature point. LIBRA in goldleaf adorns this Jut, suggestive of
emergence or submergence. Depends if you are an Emerge or Submerge Personality.
Triumphant Jut hides Canning Street from the Exhibition Buildings. Its beams
stick out of Jeff’s Shed’s eye. Critics likened these Juts to a fascist march
salute, a rhetorical attack on the planners’ politics. Actual fascist
architecture took two forms: gross neo-classical colonnades and barbed-wire
enclosures.
