Em 2013 comemoramos 1 década da série de anti-programas de TV, ¨A Revoluçao não Será Televisionada¨, realizada com direção geral de Daniel Lima, junto com equipe formada por Fernando Coster (edição), André Montenegro (edição e produção) e Daniela Labra (pesquisa e redação). Aqui segue uma edição de 13 minutos do primeiro programa, que durava 26 minutos e foi transmitido pela UTV, em São Paulo. O título da série é uma referência ao poema homônimo de Gil Scott Heron, poeta, compositor e intérprete ativista negro norte-americano, atuante nos anos 1960-70.

For the publication of issue #55, the digital journal InterArtive will publish a special issue dedicated to diverse aspects of the current discussion about Art & Mobility. Theorists, critics, curators and artists who work on the subject are invited to participate.

Artistic practices and creativity are directly and closely linked to mobility. A great part of the art and architecture that we know would not have existed if it weren’t for the urge to travel, to discover, the need to go beyond the limits – territorial and intellectual – of the known. To reflect on mobility today means to widen the perspective, to go beyond the concepts of travel, discovery and displacement; it calls for an analysis of the social, political, economic and cultural phenomena linked to it.

Texts should be around 800 to 3000 words: Format Guidelines (pdf)
The works and art projects will be published in the form of Virtual Gallery (images and short text): Format Guidelines (pdf)
Proposals should be submitted up until July 15, 2013, by mail at: info@interartive.org

O Festival de vídeo arte LOOP, tem edição em maio este ano, em Barcelona. Abaixo, uma das mostras dentro do evento, cujo tema são vídeos de teor ativista ou de discussão crítica do momento atual. Segue uma mostra do texto curatorial e o link para o festival:

Ante nuestros ojos – Poetics & Politics, Screening @ LOOP Barcelona

Artistas: Marco Godoy, Pelayo Varela, Teresa Margolles, Eugenio Merino, Núria Güell, Gina Arizpe, Daniel G. Andújar, Antoni Muntadas, Rogelio López Cuenca, Santiago Morilla, Santiago Cirugeda, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, PSJM, Jorge García, Rubén Verdú, Carlos Garaicoa, Rafa Burillo, Tomás Ochoa, Patricio Palomeque, Rosa Jijón, María José Argenzio, Estefanía Peñafiel Loaiza y Avelino Sala

El espectro de representación política se agota. La creación de sujetos verdaderamente libres, de izquierda a derecha , es una quimera olvidada y consumida. El exceso de información y de servicios de comunicación ahonda la separación entre realidad y simulacro instaurando la sensación de una cacofonia existencial asfixiante. Nada de lo que se presenta está , ni de lejos , a la altura de la situación. Incluso en su silencio (por exceso de ruidos) la propia población parece infinitamente más adulta que todos los títeres que se pelean por gobernarla. La crisis de representatividad y la distancia entre la ciudadanía y el estado deja al descubierto la imposición de un modelo social represivo y muestra las verdaderas estructuras de un poder que se ejerce desde una verticalidad faraónica.

The Artraker Fund.
The Fund was established in 2012 and awards art that helps raise awareness, communicate, stimulate debate and transform our understanding of war, violent conflict and social upheaval.
We welcome submissions from artists of all nationalities and at any stage of their careers. The deadline for submissions is 1 May and the Award is presented on International Peace Day (21 September) in London (United Kingdom) each year.  http://artraker.org/

¿Cómo saldrán parados los museos de esta situación económica?
Pasamos por una crisis de los modelos, donde la hegemonía de los mercados es absoluta. Los museos han reaccionado hacia una espectacularización de las ideas, con un marcado perfil mediático. La TATE es la más mediática de todas. La obra se ha convertido en un bien de intercambio. Su uso consiste exclusivamente en el consumo y si contribuye a algo es quizás a que seamos mejores consumidores, pero no mejores ciudadanos. Este es el riesgo que corremos los museos en la actualidad. Pasamos por un momento en el que hemos de elegir qué queremos hacer y qué no queremos hacer. No podemos olvidar que un museo es importante por su colección porque la historia es ahora más importante que nunca. Aquella idea de la posmodernidad en la que todo flotaba y existía una amnesia del mundo presente hay que contrastarla con la historia. También es fundamental entender que el arte y la cultura son un conocimiento que nos afecta diría que a nivel de piel, capaz de generar afectos y comunidades.

¿Cuál es la función de los museos?
Su función ha cambiado respecto a la que tuvieron cuando surgieron en el siglo XVIII. La función del museo, en un momento en que el mercado y las industrias de la comunicación son tan poderosos es generar espacios de resistencia, libertad y conocimiento. Para ello encuentro importante que sepamos articular tres elementos que a menudo han permanecido en ámbitos separados: la obra, la documentación (información) y la comunidad.

Petra Varl: What happened with Zvezda and Odeon?, 2009.

A FAVOR DAS MANIFESTAÇÕES CONTRA A ELEIÇÃO E POSSE DO DEPUTADO E PASTOR MARCOS FELICIANO NA COMISSÃO DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS NO CONGRESSO, O ARTESQUEMA POSTARÁ IMAGENS DE TRABALHOS DE ARTE QUE AJUDEM A CONTESTAR AS IDÉIAS RACISTAS, HOMOFÓBICAS  E FUNDAMENTALISTAS DO PARLAMENTAR E SEU PARTIDO. O BRASIL ESTÁ NA MODA MUNDO AFORA, MAS PRECISAMOS DENUNCIAR O FANATISMO RELIGIOSO SE ENTRANHANDO NA VIDA CIVIL. FORA DEPUTADO FELICIANO, PELA DIVERSIDADE DE CREDO, DE RAÇA E SEXUAL.

Despite all you have been listening about the prodigy of Brazil, the country is living a moment when religious fanatism is getting power. Last week, Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies elected an evangelical pastor as president of its Human Rights and Minorities Commission. He is Deputy Marco Feliciano, a fanatic spiritual lider, who has declared in the past two years that the misery in Africa was caused by Noe`s Damnation, and AIDS is a gay cancer… among other stupidities based on the Holy Bible.
So, artesquema will published images of gender art for the next days, in support for the impeachment of Mr Feliciano off his public situation. Bad education in Brazil is the cause of many freak mistakes in politics, like this one. Get out Mr. Feliciano! Artesquema will post some pics of gender art and colleagues just to shake Fanaticism a little bit.
