Best Email Subject For Thank You After

How did this happen? Imbalance

_____ All original force in me, in constant need of balance, makes use of the transgression to assert themselves. What transgresses? only to itself. Each of the significant experiences through which shapes and determines the structure, occur in a state of mental instability, originate from the instability and lead to it. The metatextuality occurs within the same subject, the relationship is fundamental criticism himself. Clearly with the environment too, but mostly to himself.

_____ ( Contradictorily) I avoided talking about the artists not to limit the investigation to the "field of art, or art, as a discipline. Beyond the discipline I am interested in life itself. I do not think an art of transgression alien to my life, or defined within what is considered art. Speak of transgression as an expression of life and of art as expression.

_____ I remember seeing a video for several years in which one member of the band did something truly unexpected. The keyboard and then sodomizing him urinating, I found it quite bizarre and distasteful, but I liked. Although I do not like the music, the performances was what caught my attention. I was attracted as a break with what had hitherto seen of people singing or playing music. He would go directly to the moral and had a force atropellante. It was so strong that I felt I had no time to think, just as it had received, even with all the symbolic distance that I can now see, I felt I was run over in a way that I almost touched.


_____ Years later I am a college student of fine arts, invited along with other fellow students to participate with our work in a performative opening event of the contemporary art museum Maturin. I had several meaningful experiences at that time. We had given the slogan of our proposal to participate in the experience we had with the space and people that makes life on the block surrounding the new museum. One of the first things I experienced was the contradictory combination of homophobia, heterosexism and boundless sexual appetite of the members of the community. So I felt a moral duty to destabilize some such schemes. After all the stress and discomfort prior, using (and in some way abuse) of my rights as an "artist" in the context of an institutional event organized by state authorities, presented a performance where I'm naked, connected another naked woman, a blend which I made with two suckers to unclog pipes (new) connected by a transparent plastic hose underground. The performance was to interact playfully with my partner, leaving bare the cultural center, walking toward the square Miranda. In the square we play about 5 minutes to exchange the places where we placed the pacifier in our bodies and experimenting with the tension produced in our bodies the assembly. At the same time played with the tension that occurred in people who interacted with us passive and active. Then we returned to the cultural center, interactuábamos with whom worked there, trying to take pictures with the police, who refused. We took some photos in front of a giant of the President, climbed to the roof and a guest artist playing we took some pictures with and without the assembly and finally returned to the library and got dressed. Only when we returned to the plaza, where activities were continuing, we understood that we had caused great tension at the scene, the director of the museum threatened to fire and instability was evident, but the activities continued.

_____ One of the guest artists at the University of Zulia, gave a performance in which a cloth placed over the floor and on top of him playing with the order of dishes pushing with his bare feet. She wore an emerald green dress that stood to walk. Between his legs were the dishes, and I in my need of instability, really expected something to happen atropellante shake me. Then I concluded that I expected was to pee and dishes that never made me disappointed. I understood that was my next performances. Urinate as an offering to a antisanto, as he named a saint.

_____ in Maturin The performance turned out to be decisive for which continuous, satisfacciónde my challenge, the authorities responsible for administering the funds for Arts in Mogan decided to dismiss the Director of the Museum. We were all very disappointed in its action and decided to send a statement to the Ministry of Popular Power for Culture of Venezuela, the media and all institutions and individuals related to culture as we could, to report on our position on what we consider action set to a nineteenth-and retrograde thinking what should be the arts, which had no impact, so we decided to speak out with art and produced a simultaneous action in three states in the country: from Zulia Experimental School of Art took a market for actions related to nudity and body paint, in Monagas artists Street and enthused and decided to take the city rebels Francisco de Miranda, which was held on performances for action also related to the nude and banners written in about their posture and in Caracas, a group of students take the square IUESAPAR museums to undress completely and expose the public to be photographed by the press and then give a statement to the House of a local radio station, which were the only media that attended our call.
the end nothing helped, the former director of the museum is dismissed and the regional authorities in Monagas have been given the job of discrediting our reputation

_____ therefore go through a moral crisis that results in another performance, presented at the Project Nomasdecinco in the Organizacion Nelson Garrido.














_____ I continue studying a degree in fine arts and chair of Mixed Media, which is the specialty that study, I requested a project to develop during the semester that can be linked to the content of the material oriented on all art digital and net art this semester. Using the idea born in the museum's opening event, I developed an intertextual structure, interdiscursive, metatextual, metaphorical, etc..



I'm just being



_____ Despite my reluctance to talk about "artists" during the investigation, I found some background related to transgressive art and contradictory. From Dada, Duchamp in 1915 Fontaine submit to the jury of Independent Artists in New York a urinal upside down. Then in 1920 J.-T. Marx Ernst Baargeld and organized an exhibition in Cologne, to access the sample must pass through a bathroom stall where a girl dressed for First Communion, reciting verses obscene. Throughout the history of twentieth century art and so far this century, art has had to transgress to justify their useless existence. _____


As a result of the performance "the first decent" on Avenida Los Jabillos Caño Amarillo where offering 3 bottles of urine at antisanto, got 3 performative objects: cylinders. To close the chair of the Workshop Performances Supplementary did an exhibition at University Gallery, in which I participated with three bottles on a pedestal and a few pictures documenting details of the performances. As time passes, the urine content changes color bottles and plastic containers is deformed, I fear that at some point burst.





_____ But the idea is not unprecedented, and Piero Manzzoni had canned his feces and had sold the gold price in the market, called the work " Merda d'artista ", consisting of 30 grams of canned faeces. Some of those cans are in galleries "significant" other in major museums such as MOMA, some have been exploited by the action of gases.

_____ Andres Serrano also has worked with urine, in 1987 presented "Piss Christ", dipped a plastic Christ in urine to photograph. It caused great controversy, especially attacked by the authorities of the clergy and political moralists. It was even reported to the congress.
