Artista vende anúncio em Outdoor instalado dentro de Centro Cultural

Na sua individual no Santander Cultural de Porto Alegre, intitulada “Seu lugar é Aqui, Seu momento é agora”, o artista gaúcho Daniel Escobar comenta em várias instâncias o modo operacional da publicidade, com suas táticas de manipulação dos desejos individuais e coletivos. Iniciando com um comentário sobre a especulação imobiliária, o artista se aprofundou no fascinante mundo fictício da propaganda e resolveu ele próprio orquestrar uma operação comercial publicitária dentro da exposição. Assim, instalou um outdoor de 9m x 2,80 m  para alugá-lo por temporadas, enquanto a mostra estiver em cartaz. “Anuncie Aqui” é o nome do projeto, e abaixo segue o teaser de promoção do negócio. Uma rara oportunidade para pessoas exigentes que buscam a atenção de um público VIP…

Call for Participants to Join Transnational Dialogues 2014 – Europe China Brazil

You can now apply to join Transnational Dialogues 2014, through which you could be exposed to some of the most interesting cultural and social figures and institutions from Europe, China and Brazil, taking part in research caravans, networking activities, and working together with young creatives from the three continents.

Berna Reale ¨Vazio de Nós¨. Museu de Arte do Rio MAR

Berna Reale: Vazio de Nós

Berna Reale reflete sobre o mundo e a vulnerabilidade humana. Sem ser uma jovem artista, ela há pouco vem despontando fora de Belém do Pará, onde vive e trabalha. Formada em Licenciatura em Artes, Reale é também perita criminal, atividade infiltrada no tecido social que concretizou a problemática da dicotomia centro/periferia como o tema da sua obra. Assim, ¨Vazio de Nós¨ critica as injustiças e desassistências sociais que produzem um enorme contingente de indivíduos sem sonhos, habitantes de zonas marginalizadas constituintes de uma geografia global da exclusão.

Esta individual traz ao MAR cinco performances para vídeo realizadas entre 2011 e 2013 em Belém. ¨Limite Zero¨, ¨Palomo¨, ¨Ordinário¨, ¨Soledade¨ e ¨Americano¨ são obras dedicadas às vítimas de abusos de poder; de comandos de extermínio; aos encarcerados; aos que enlouquecem na indigência social, nas ruas ou nas mãos do Estado.

¨Limite Zero¨, em analogia com o processo do abate de animais, discute a banalização da morte. Já ¨Palomo¨, comenta poeticamente o abuso de poder institucional. ¨Soledade¨, filmada em rua homônima que integra a rota do tráfico de drogas, aborda a negligencia política com os necessitados, e ¨Ordinário¨, realizada no bairro de Jurunas, traz a artista recolhendo cerca de 40 ossadas reais encontradas pela polícia em cemitérios clandestinos na área metropolitana de Belém, e denuncia ações de extermínio. Por fim, ¨Americano¨, feita no Complexo Penitenciário de Americano, em Santa Izabel do Pará, nos recorda que a tocha, símbolo antigo de purificação e conhecimento e hoje ícone Olímpico, também traz à memória rebeliões ocorridas onde se vive em situação-limite.

Esta mostra se dá em um momento ímpar da história do país e desta cidade. As manifestações desencadeadas desde junho foram recebidas pela artista e curadora como um feliz e desconcertante acaso, e reforçou nossa crença no potencial da arte como prática transformadora das consciências críticas.

It seems Brazil but is just Art Basel.

Art copies Life. A non-authorized party at the cozy Favela Café inside the Art Basel Fair was forced to close by the police. This fact remember us the real riots that occurs inside the favelas in Brazil each week or month since ages…

The Favela Café project was signed by artist Tadashi Kawamata and architect Christophe Scheidegger. On a Friday night, Swiss police fired rubber bullets and teargas at an artist-activist group who took over Japanese artist kind of politically uncomfortable work at Art Basel, a fully working eatery in the guise of Brasil’s ad-hoc urban areas. Art Basel had allowed the group to protest for a limited time.

A brief reflection on this let us note that the political stress of the work is just a cute lecture of Favela’s aesthetic which delight the western art world without no shame. As an art piece for a glamorous event like this one, it critique is absolutely harmless. Meanwhile when was activated as a place for non allowed parties inside the commercial big show, the project finally gains meaning.

Gender, Art, Civil Rights: Brazil on a contraflow! / Gênero, Arte, Direitos Civis: Brasil na contramão!

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.
