existem duas pessoas que me fazem escangalhar de rir na frente do computador.
uma é a megamiga glamliscious flavia mitri e o outro é o cardoso.
a flavia eu tô pressionando fortemente para criar um blog, e vocês saberão do que eu tô falando.
o cardoso dispensa apresentações, e aqui, se vocês forem espertos, compartilharão de inesquecíveis gargalhares comigo.
acessai.
a locaweb, que hospeda o conglomerado verbeat de blogs, fez algum tipo de cagada master que provocou o colapso do nosso amado condomínio. a pane verbeater teve início no dia 13 de janeiro e se estendeu até o presente momento. então decidi redigir posts em regime de contingência. foram apenas três, mais os sagrados summertóins e oh!rkitekturas. todos já se encontram publicados em suas datas originais. confira abaixo.
não foi possível enviar comentários durante o período, de modo que alguns de vocês resolveram fazê-lo por e-mail ou msn. obrigado pelas congratulações nupciais!
agora é cruzar os dedinhos e torcer para que a locaweb não torne a fazer a lôka tão cedo.
enfeitado com bolas de vidro balões de diálogo.
loneliness does not come from being alone, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important, said carl jung.
the interesting thing is why we're so desperate for this anesthetic against loneliness, said david foster wallace.we're all in this alone, said lily tomlin.

no flickr das cool.agens, ricardo romanoff, autor do blog tão-somente, mandavisar que publicou post sobre a série the zodiac attack.
no comentário que deixou no flickr, ricardo diz que peixes é o que mais gostou. peixes também é especial para mim. não apenas porque foi o primeiro signo que criei como também porque foi a peça que definiu que a série seria sobre astrologia e não sobre deidades: no início eu achava que as escamas dele pareciam uma armadura para marte, o deus da guerra. mas aquele azulzinho era muito underwater to go to war!
o tão-somente todo é phyno e merece atenção. vou bem favoritar para salvar umas photinhas de vez em sempre.
entrevistinha sensação com o autor do art news blog sobre arte. trechitos worth reading:
do you think art institutions should have the freedom to display boundary-pushing art that may offend certain members of the public? why?
i think it's their job to push the boundaries. people that are easily offended shouldn't visit galleries. they should stay home in their safe, comfortable home and drink tea quietly. art is either going to look good hanging on your wall or is trying to tell you something. both forms are equally valid for me.what do you think is the social role of art?
i believe there are two kinds of art: an art that should hang well on the wall and an art that has something to say. the latter should use any means possible to speak its message.
what do you think are the major changes in the public's attitude towards art? do you think our modern society is quick at judging and finding offence in everything?
(...) i don't think art is really that important to the general public. nobody really takes much notice of art unless an artist is doing something outrageous. being an artist or being involved in the art industry tricks you into thinking that art is everything and everyone must appreciate it as it's so important to you, but the average guy on the street couldn't care less about art.
do you think that by challenging conventional views art can truly make a change in the public's perception?
no, i don't think art has the fire power to affect change in any meaningful way. it will always touch the minority that actually takes notice of art, but art won't change society unless you include movies, the internet, and music. things like painting, sculpture, installations, prints, and video art will never change much of society.
há algum tempo não falamos de damien hirst por aqui. pois bem: continuaremos não falando dele, mas de um sujeito que criou um blog se fazendo passar por ele. é lógico que nota-se rapidamente que não se trata do hirst original, e fica claro que este é o objetivo: apropriar-se da identidade do artista para debochar de sua idéia de arte conceitual.
o resultado tem mais poesia que as peças de hirst - e são infinitas vezes mais baratas.

um dos blogs que mais visito é o wooster collective, especializado em street art. esta semana seus dois autores estiveram na casa branca, a convite de obama, para debater o cenário das artes com uma comissão e outros convidados. o post que publicaram após o evento adiciona bastante à discussão levantada por andrew keen em "o culto do amador".
alguns trechos:
when sara and i started the wooster collective eight years ago, it felt to us at the time that the only lens the media was providing as a way into understanding street art and graffiti was vandalism. as a gatekeeper, mass media's control of what was being said about graffiti and street art made it impossible for most people to appreciate the positive role that it can play in our lives. the media had shut out, and refused to amplify, any diversity of thought. and because of this, graffiti has never been recognized by mainstream society as an "important" art movement. even though it's in every city in the world.
we want this to change.the great thing about the internet, as we all know, is that no media company or city government controls it. any of us, including two people who happen to live on wooster street, can become a media entity. all they need is a point-of-view. by simply celebrating unauthorized acts of public art when it seemed nobody else was - and then having people spread the positive message it sends - wooster, by happenstance, has in essence become a media entity.
as the popularity of the wooster website started to grow, and we began meeting other people who felt the same way as we did, it quickly became clear to us that many people understood that graffiti and street art was not about just about vandalism. but rather, that it raises important issues about the need to reclaim our public space; the need for us to affirm our existence on this planet by writing on walls; the need and importance of spontaneous acts of creativity to make our cities more "livable". and so, so much more.
(...)
yesterday, along with about sixty amazing organizations who are committed to grassroots arts initiatives, we met with various officials in the obama administration, to listen and learn what the administration was thinking in regards to the arts, to ask questions, and then to participate in working sessions on issues that we felt passionate about. (ours was the need to better understand the issues around public and private space)
(...)
it was about letting people who make decisions at the highest level know that the definition of what "art" is needs to change in our society. if art is "over there" and health and science and transportation is "over here" - then art will always be something that is perceived as elitist, misunderstood, undervalued, etc. it will always be something that is only found in museums and in galleries, not put on our streets and on our walls with the artist taking the risk of getting arrested.
