- Well, wearing that gag, she will be quiet as I fuck her ass. I don't think she will wake up, but, if she does, there's the gag. And here's what I want you to do while I fuck your mother in the ass: you get on top of me and fuck MY ass while I'm fucking hers. Does that sound good to you?
- Can we kill her afterwards?
- And send her straight to heaven?
- Please! Please!
- Well, you do a good job fucking my ass, and I promise I'll think about it! Right up to the last drop of your cum!

another millennium revelation

- You see, that is your place in the system: making offensive jokes, so that people don't take themselves too seriously!
- What!? You are telling me that there is actually a system behind all this, and that it works!? That is the funniest of the millennium!

all fine in under 24

- What about the political violence in Kenya?
- It will be over soon! The trouble is, people take their S&M fetish sex play to the streets, but forget to memorize their safewords! The Red Cross is already on its way with some memory pills, so it should all be fine in less than 24 hours!

Bilawal hits center stage

- What is your take on Bilawal Bhutto, son of the recently assassinated Benazir, who has just been designated to replace his mother as president of her party?
- If you think his mother was the hottest slam, you gotta check out this handsome young man! He can be the president of my heart right now!

soldiers of love

- I turned around and saw I was right. The owner of that delicious laughter was fat. Maybe it is very rare to see an athlete with such a comfy laughter. Maybe only people who are either too skinny or at least a little overweight are happy like that!
I sure hope life proves me wrong on that one!
- I'm hoping along, believe me! I'm starting at the gym next week!
- God be with you, brave soldier!

shut up and dunce

- You should have seen the beautiful creamy folds of that pussy! I could eat that pussy of hers for hours!
- OK! I love pussy, too! But you have TALKED about that one FOR HOURS, man! That much repetition is not my favourite soundtrack for sucking your dick, really! If you can't change your song, let us get into a 69!

In heaven: Garrincha

- I just realise that men don't like soccer! They only talk about it to do a smokescreen for approaching women! When the woman flees the boring talk, they switch back to talking about sexy bitches!
- Yeah! But there are women now that DO like soccer!
- God help us! Pray for Saint Garrincha in Heaven!

check entendi meu bem

So check the text below. The first clue to the code might be the muse thing. Muses are by definition beyond reach. But the poet here is talking about someone he or she has probably had sexual intercourse with, or at least tongue kissed. He or she is talking about a new kind of muse, that is human and gentle, answering to notes. That doesn't mean you can touch the muse, but it is way different from the old ones, appearing to you during dreamlike states. So check your mithology file.

- Mabel Spinola. Black and white digital photomix of what seems to me are bits and pieces of Earth as seen from space, through some filters. But it's not made to look like that, and it doesn't. It does look like an abstract composition, which I guess was the original idea. The CD doesn't say what is the size of it. But I remember it as not too small, but still one that a man could carry about by himself. So it was not too big. Anyway: Black and white abstract composition made with with photomix software, and I like it. Good show!

This is as much fun as those great colorful paintings that Kandinsky did right before total abstraction! Good show!

short course on statistics

-It's on Google News Brasil: The Brazilian Institute of Geography and statistics, IBGE, has found out there are 17.000 gay couples in Brazil, and that's without counting the big cities and state capitals!
- Of course! If they had checked ONLY the big cities and state capitals they would find 17.000 HETEROSEXUAL couples!

- I don't understand this supposed son of God that was dumb enough to get arrested and sentenced to death!
- Maybe God was telling us that ANYBODY can make mistakes, and still we are forgiven everything we do right from the start!
- What? ANYTHING? What if I go out and rob a bank? God will forgive me?
- YES! But I'm sure the cops will show up to wish you a Merry Xmas!

Her first in Copacabana

- I did the sensible thing to do: went out to get drunk and dance and snog people I don't really know!
- How was it?
- I kissed three blokes and two gals, and found myself walking the streets of Copacanana with a smile on my face at about 9 a. m. Saturday morning, possibly looking like something from Cartoon Network!
- That much shambled?
- I was fine, believe me! I was able to vomit INTO the toilet, instead of all over it! And I remember the names of every single person I kissed!
- So?
- You want names? OK: first it was this internet shaman guy called Richard, then this student called Angela. We did a triple kiss between us, and they went back to the dancefloor. I was supposed to go with them, but I don't know what. I kissed this guy who said he knew my barwoman friend, who was his teacher. His name was Dario. I slept a bit with my face glued to one of the tables. My friend Sandro gave me a bottle of water. I woke up. I kissed Sandro, and then my friend Evelyn. Or maybe I kissed her first!

strategical decisions

- Time to choose, sir! Either number 2 or number 3 must go on a suicide attack!

- Well, if those young men feel like an uprising, we can make a lot of money selling condoms!

- Mickey's saved! YES!

mind the gasp

- It's on the Telegraph! London Underground wants no business anymore with the voice that says "Mind the gap" to the underground users. And all because of some jokes Emma Clarke made on her website!
- Yeah! So the passengers should beware: the London Underground quite probably cannot take a joke!

- Just strip and do it! I like to watch!
- Yeah, but having sex in public is illegal on this planet! We'd get arrested!
- That's the part I like the most!

Good show!

He was smiling at me. Such a crazy childlike friendly smile. I just smiled back as I shaked my head at the bum. One of the happiest times I said "no" in my life.

- Wake up, man! You ARE in this future! You have just dreamed you were from the past!

It is disguised as an article in Crap Science, a scientific magazine about the use of feces as fertilizing agents in agriculture. The Lollipop Mafia is not ruled out yet, but it seems like it could be the NGGR totalitarian white power organization. We strongly advise spiking their drinks with xtc and sending in some nice black prostitutes to change their worldview.

We don't want another burnout this week. As for agent *****, relocate him to the case of that actor who collects post stamps. The name of the play is Mais Um Texto Atribuído Ao Veríssimo. There might be some Milkybar Triad money in the works.

- I can't believe you actually ENJOYED watching THE HEARTBREAK KID!
- What can I say? It's weird and even sad, but also very funny at times! Sure, it's something you've alredy seen, but what a twist they give to it at some scenes! I laughed quite a few times! Maybe they are a long way to ever doing great stuff like THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY. Who cares? The last scene alone was worth the ticket!

off good

- Son, you understand you bashed his brains out and he is dead, right? Would you tell us why you did it?
- He called me a sissy, and then he said that he loved me, and then went blank.
- I don't understand.
- Well, he was also supposed to whistle the tune to "Titanic" in my ear! I've told the bastard a million times that he had to do it to get me off good!

- Marina Kosovski. PENDENTE, which means PENDANT. A white balloon hanging from a tread, with a wine glass that looked like it was magnetically attached to its bottom, until you looked closer and noticed that there was a lower tip of the balloon inside the wine glass, and holding it in place. She had to check it daily, for the balloon loosed a bit of air every day. I think she had to replace the balloon one or two times. It was very beautiful. Here's the info:
95 x 250 x 45 centimeters. Latex balloon, crystal wine glass, steel bar, nylon tread, and an aluminium sheet. I just have to add that I didn't remember the sheet, for it was like a table near the ground, from one column to another, and it didn't quite capture you attention as much as the balloon. But seeing the photos, it went very well with another fact: All this was inside a narrow arch in the inside area, near the empty pool. Anyway, it was beatiful, and I don't know what she meant, but that doesn't worry me at all. Good show!

Musharraf is a Perv

- What is you opinion on the Emergency Rule that President Pervez Musharraf has just declared all over Pakistan?
- Well, Perv is a close friend of us at Pervy Planet dot org. He is making quite a progress at accepting himself as a control fetishist. I'm sure he will be feeling much better pretty soon, and will stop this Emergency Rule nonsense every time he wants to use the toilet. In fact, he might call it off as soon as he gets out of the loo, which should be any minute now. We are talking him down online as I speak to you, and I assure you he is feling fine, and quite approving of democracy.

We have reasons to believe it has something to do with the Muslims For Tolerance (MFT) organization. The intercepted dialogue below briefly explains its official policies:
- Muslims For Tolerance?
- Yeah! You can find them at Muslims For Tolerance dot org! They say that suicide, euthanasia, abortion, same-sex marriage, pansexual marriage, sex-change operations, recreational drug use, fetish sex, and the right to have your own personal machine gun are all perfectly fine! In fact, they say it's all in the Holy Book, and you don't even have to believe it! You can even be jewish, they say! I tell you: they say that even satanists are going to heaven, if they don't do human sacrifices! Sounds good to me!
- But what if they've already killed someone in a ritual?
- It's in the F.A.Q. File: if you killed someone, you are going to heaven anyway, because God is love! But you might get to spend some years in jail, if your lawyer is no good!

- Leila Amaral. The first image file is called barrigacoracao, which means barriga coração, which means heart belly. It is the photo of a pregnant human belly with a drawing of a heart from a medical book superimposed to it. You can also see two small lights on the heart. A red and a yellow dot. Second file is the same thing with another image over the belly, a human retina. And also some small dots, the red and yellow lights. Looks like two yellows and one red one. The third image file didn't open. Anyway, I've told you about it before. My opinion stays the same: Good show!

I believe that they were no longer that 50 centimeters side by side. The CD says they were part of a series called "CONSERVAS" DE BELEZA, which means Beauty "Preserves" and that the title is BOCA. That means Mouth. It's a bit creepy the way they look like they are passing you by in a music video terror movie, and I like it. Good show!

- Júlio Rodrigues. Date: 2004. A video-object, as he calls it. 2 x 2.3 x 0.3 meters. A machine with a red green and blue tape rolling continuously before a small camera. There is a short delay, so the TV screen changes from red to green to blue to red again a little behind what is actually going on. You are looking at the past, and that is exactly what the title, PASSADO, means. The small camera is right behind the TV screen, so it's easy to notice the delay. Good show!

- Are you concerned about the future of Venezuela under Hugo Chávez?
- Yes, of course! He could start a war in South America! That would be a shame! All those beautiful young men leaving behind their Hugo Boss AG clothes and going to their deaths with such awful military clothing! I pray to God that the good people of Venezuela see how ridiculous his ideas are! When they understand that we don't need to destroy fashion in order to get everybody good food and a good job, they will surely laugh him out of his dream, and he will open the cage and release democracy!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 141)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Julia Traub Csekö. Date: 2004. Title: OVO DE COLOMBO, which means Egg of Columbus. Check the Wikipedia. It means an act of genius that, once done by someone, is easily repeated by anyone. Like an insight. Well, I've told you I remembered her text for protesting that art schools need money, too, or something. What surprised me, as I got the chance to read it again, was that she uses the expression to mean the Brazilian way of getting over money trouble in unorthodox, and even illegal ways. I didn't know it could have that meaning. Good show!

upbeat

- What about Podecrer!, that has the international title Right On?
- It's a nice romantic comedy about upper middle class kids in Rio de Janeiro in 1981. There's a rock band, and the worrying that they will never get rich or get the girl or boy they like, and the concern about the rat race and the military rule, and the fun with drugs and alcohol. I specially like the fact that abortion is not viewed as a crime, even though it was and still is criminalised in Brazil even today. And the girl that has more than one lover is seen as a tramp, but not in a too negative way. And she doesn't seem to be doing it because she has issues, but simply because that's who she is, and that's OK. That's very sex positive! In short: good upbeat fun!

elite nonsense

- Well, Tropa de Elite is a good action movie. As for being fascist, I think the one that is on the verge of becoming fascist is the hero, and anyone who believes the movie is a true portrait of reality in Rio. It's an ACTION movie, folks! If you want action with a bit of drama, you must have extreme situations. Even one of the screenwriters, who was an elite cop himself, has said it on O Globo newspaper: not all regular cops are corrupt, and not all elite ones are honest, but he had to write it like that for the movie to work. The idea is to make you feel so trapped that you start to think that torturing people, like the elite cops do in the movie, is a good idea. As for real life, it is not: tortured people lie, specially if they have been expecting it to happen to them and have trained themselves for the situation. They learn to pretend to be tough, and then pretend to break and give out info that will incriminate their enemies, or innocent people.
- What about the fact that the hero blames the upper class drug users for giving out the money that buys guns for the drug dealers?
- Well, I am sure that every drug user would love to give that money for the government to use in health programs for the poor, but you'd have to legalise all recreational drugs, if you want to collect the taxes. I think it would be smarter than this war on drugs nonsense, really.

holy fek

It looks like a drawing over a photo of an ancient furnace. Signed by Marcelo Moraes. Dated November 3rd 2007. Title: ME. About 7 by 7 inches. A speech balloon makes the furnace say: ALWAYS UP AND READY FOR YOU! Below it, the phrase: EXPO FREE SAMPLE. The photo seems to be part of an ad for an exhibition at FEK, which means Eva Klabin Foundation. Mr. Moraes used it to draw the phrase: ME FEK YOU LONG TIME. We have reasons to believe it is connected with the mysterious appearence of the pyramid of brown paper boxes containing a female condom, KY gel, and a Zero Coke can in front of the Mango Spot, in Karachi. We expect the arrival of the drawing at Cucamonga Lab within 5 hours, and will keep you informed of any further test results.

The CD says it is an Oculist Poem, and it makes sense, for it looks like a detail from an eye chart. It dates from 2000 and is a backlight in black over white. 70 x 50 centimeters. A huge capital letter N, with a tilde (~) that really is a distorted H sideways, so the difference between the two versions of the word is the connection here! Good show!

It's a wonderful life

O video não rodou muito bem, mas parece claro que ele pinta se lambuzando de tinta e se atirando contra a tela. Se for piada, acho que já vi no filme Art School Confidential. Se for piada e sério ao mesmo tempo, acho legal que ele se divirta fazendo uma espécie de expressionismo
abstrato, e gostaria de ver fotos do resultado final. Se for só sério, acho que ele tá precisando parar de levar tudo na seriedade e ir tomar um drinque. =)

Democracy is fun

- Who is Che Guevara?
- He was the Osama bin Laden of the last century: a romantic idiot that believed he had the right to murder people in order to purify and change society for the better.
- And Adolf Hitler?
- Same crap, only he was elected, and insisted that the jews were first in line to be murdered.
- So, we're better off now that two of them are dead, right?
- I'll answer that when I know the names of the candidates for the next election!

OVERDOSE AND STAB YOUR MOM

- WHAT?
- That was the motto of an anarchist student group called Overdose. They were elected to the students' union of the Communication School of UFRJ. That's the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. I understand they never once held a political meeting. No paperwork, either. They were probably viewed as idiotic drug users with a sick sense of humor back then.
- When was that?
- 1983 or something. A very fashionable era, seen from 24 years down the road.
- Why are you telling me this?
- Because it means that, if your liver can stand it, you should just enjoy yourself, man! Time is surely on OUR side.

a load of horseradish

- Did you like the video about fat hairy japanese women that like to eat their own shit with horseradish and cherries?
- I hope they release it again with Taste-O-Rama!

pray before you drink

- Did you see the counterfeit booze gang that got busted selling their stuff to hotels and nightclubs in Rio?
- Se beber, reze! Pray before you drink, my friend!
- Yeah, let's go out on a New Age Booze Spree!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 132)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Just adding some info about Ana Holck. The CD says her work is called Permeio, which means I Permeate, or the act of permeating. Date: 2004. 1.20 x 2.90 x 2 meters.

cosmic reaction

- It's on Yahoo! News! Scientists find strange molecule in Venus's atmosphere!
- So THAT is where I left it! Great!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 131)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Isabella Marinho. I've told you about it before. I like the way she paints human bodies in shades of gray. The photos of this one surprised me because I forgot it was yellow! Anyway, I like it very much! The bodies are treated both as drama and pattern! Good show!

pretty sure

- Today's featured article on the main page of Wikipedia is the Knights Templar!
- I'm sure there's some hidden message in this fact.

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 130)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Guido Lobato. I can't understand a couple of words written on the CD. Maybe it's the title of his painting. I'll transcribe it with stars in the place of the letters I can't read: P*la*e Pintora.
Pintora means Female Painter. It also has a text in a different handwriting saying the photos were taken by Pedro Stephan. The painting is a white humanoid figure over a black field. It could be either a human being or an extra-terrestrial. It is bald, and we can't see its hands and feet, as it looks like a photo of someone dancing ballet past the camera's field of vision. Eyes closed, or maybe looking at the floor. There's a field of gray on the upper right side of the painting, like it's silhouette is parallel to a mountain range behind it. Or it could be a cape flying off. It is very much an expressionist way of showing a rather mysterious being. I like it a lot!
- OK. Next?
- Heleno Bernardi. I've already told you about it. The title is Splenius Capitis, which is the name of a muscle. Look it up on Wikipedia. Size: 300 x 200 centimeters. Date: 2002. Good show!

Pegging Peggy

- Come here, baby! Let's watch some TV!
- Yes, honey! Just wait until I finish getting pegged by the maid!

brutally squashed

- It's on charonboat dot com! The photo of a woman that was hit by a bus and repeatedly run over by the fast vehicles that followed, until she was completely squashed!
- No use talking dirty to me! I'm staying home and watching some nice clean sexy war news!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 129)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Geraldo Marcolini. He did that cross-stitch embroidery portrait of Mohammed Atta, 9/11 suicide pilot. Date: 2004. 1 meter by 1.4 meter. Title: Atta, Mohammed. Morbid humor alright!

teabagging perverts

- I want you to rub your balls all over my face!
- I've shaved them recently, and they feel spiky!
- OH, YES!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 128)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Gabriel Fonseca. He did those colored metal upsided waving pendulums that were moved by the wind. Blue, red and yellow. Ritual do Vento, which means Wind Ritual. And also a sculpture called Linha Amarela, which means Yellow Line. It was like a big letter C with a spiralling curve on it's lower beak. The line went down a little bit, so the spiral, just the start of it, went around the line a little lower than the lower beak. This part was movable, so you could make it spin. Good show!

eye opening shock

- His sperm hit my eye! It burned like hell, so I screamed and ran to wash it off!
- That's awful!
- No, that's my best orgasm ever!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 127)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Eduardo Mariz. Moribundo Meditabundo, which means Meditating Moribund. Date: 2003. The floppy disk wouldn't work, but I remember it from reading the label. It is a water bed with a "sleeping" black granite plate the shape of a standing man, like the paper ones on a shooting gallery, but without the target. Very good!

fully functional

Dear X,
I said the legless whore had to be a fully functional she-male! She had to be able to pull out of my ass and ejaculate into my left ear! The guy who gives you this note will kill you.
Love,
Z.

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 126)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Eduardo Costa, also known as Cadu. Untitled drawing. 22 by 33.5 centimeters. Since it was twenty years since a very famous art show in 1984, right there at Lage Park, he decided to show something he was doing back there, as a child. So the drawing is from 1984. Three colorful F1 race cars. Great!

cold motel

- No, It's pseudonecrophilia, I think. Or Role Playing Necrophilia, if you like. I don't want to fuck dead people, just someone who will act dead for me.
- OK, but only if I can keep my eyes open!
- Sure! That's scarier and sexier!
- Maybe I could come back from the dead and be shocked to see you doing it to me, right before you come!
- Sounds good!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 125)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Edna Kauss. Prisma 1, which means Prism 1. Weathering steel plates, as I've told you. 400 centimeters by 73 centimeters by 3/4 inches. The round base is one inch thick and has a diameter of 130 centimeters. Weight: 1,238 kilograms. Date: 2004. I think we'll have to go back for some info I forgot to mention about other works. I was mostly looking at the photos.

the near future

- What about This Filthy World?
- I'm sorry I entered the room when this one was already started! Well, actually no, I'm NOT SORRY! I am very GLAD I saw this one! John Waters does a stand up routine for about 90 minutes, and it's GREAT FUN! He gives us opinions, and stories about his bad taste movies, and does so with great wit! You could say he is a quite frank gentleman living in the near future already. Sounds like we're gonna be having lots of fun in that particular chunk of time! Really, this one is awesome!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 124)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Diana Osward. Trans Posição, which means Trans Position. She's obviously playing with the name of the art show. Three black and white photos in a column. Images of stairs. Possibly from the Lage Park itself. You cannot see where you are going. It looks like it's about the mystery of life. And rhythm. I like the visual rhythm of it. Good show!

see him dance

- What about Like a Virgin?
- Great dramedy from South Korea! Chubby young man wants to be a woman. Hates sports, but has got talent for a martial art, some kind of South Korean wrestling. Realises he could win the cash to have a sex change operation. Touching and funny all the way through! The audience was clapping their hands and cheering at times! And I loved to see him dance!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 123)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Daniela Fortes. Idiossincrasias, which means Idiosyncrasies. A bit like Graffiti Art done on pencil over white paper. Images from the city, the objects, the people. Striving for some kind of unified understanding, perhaps. Good show!

try again

- What about Go Go Tales?
- It was already started when I came into the room, so maybe that helped me to feel a bit cold about it. Maybe it is a very good movie and I will see this when I get to watch it properly. As for now, it looked like a bunch of good actors inside a story that wasn't quite good. I will try again when it comes out on DVD. If you like strip joints, be sure to give it a try, specially if you can see it on a big screen.

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 122)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Cinthia Marcelle. Unus Mundus - A Transfiguração, which means One World - The Transfiguration. Two objects and an action. The wall objects were a painted piece of bedcloth or something, about the size of a pillow. White and red thin horizontal stripes that you could easily see. There was also an document saying that she had registered her idea for the work. But the best part was seven couples wearing red and white, and watches. They were supposed to stand among the patrons on the opening night, but in full view of each other. I didn't see it, but the couples were wearing opposite colors, so they are easily spotted in photos. They were helped by alarm clocks, and what they did was to kiss for seven minutes. Then they separated at their own pace and merged into the crowd. Good show!

incisor sister

- What happens if I don't?
- Without proper treatment, your incisor teeth will be seen even if your mouth is shut. Like Jerry Lewis, Freddie Mercury, and some retards.
- Well, since I am going to suck lots of cock and clit sooner or later, let's not waste our time correcting what will certainly be a charming feature of my face!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 121)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Beth Ferrante. Before seing the photos, I remembered her painting for her daring to do something that looked a bit Neo-Expressionist. That probably made some people dismiss her as outdated. Now, I would like to see the painting again. It looks great on the photos!

call general burkasoff

- It's on BBC Brazil dot com! Women are taking off their burkas on a TV show in Afghanistan!
- Yeah, baby, yeah! Smash my burka!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 120)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Anik Meijer-Werner. Sincro-nada, which means Synchro-nothing, and also Synchro-swims. It was a dance number she did with two other women inside the pool on the night of the 16th of July. They used long blue stretched rubber bands to simulate water, and danced with them, dressed up as swimmers. Very beautiful. Good show!
- You use that phrase quite a lot!
- Yeah! That's what American pilots said to Brazilian ones over the radio in World War Two, as a final compliment on a good hit. You just read Senta A Púa, by Ruy Moreira Lima, and see. They would fly over to see the damage the Nazi Germans took, and would comment it on the radio, and usually saying that at the end, when they liked it: Good show! You bet your life I mean it when I say it! Let me give you the notes on their dancing performance:

Conceito e cenografia [Concept and scenography]: Anik Meijer-Werner

Pesquisa de movimento e bailarinas [Movement research and dancers]:
Camila Fersi
Dora de Andrade
Anik Meijer-Werner

Musica (ao vivo) [Music (live)]: Daniel Ruiz

Cenotécnico [Scenotechnician]: Reynaldo Duarte

That's what I've got to say. And, again: Good show!

what day is it

- What about the Bosnian who tried to enter the U.S. Embassy in Vienna with a backpack full of explosives today?
- He was just arriving early for the Fourth of July!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 119)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- I found out the names of the two girls who spent some hours taping some wood-like adhesive vynil all around the empty pool! It looked like a huge picture frame, the picture being whatever was going on inside the pool! They were Mariana Leal and Andréa Carvalho! The photos show that they even used paint to add golden details to their giant frame! The name of the work was, apparently, Pintura Para Ver de Cima, which means Painting to be Seen from Above. It makes sense, for it looked better when seen from the terrace. On the lower side of the frame, they painted the word Entre, which means Come In, as if inviting people to enter the pool, thus joining the picture. They even had a giant adhesive label with their names and other info about the painting, glued to the floor. Good show!

I love Rio

- I was 10 past noon, and the mall was quite empty. And I saw these two young men walking side by side, embracing each other! In Rio de Janeiro! 2007! I don't think I ever saw it before, man! Fantastic!
- Yeah! I was on a bus early in a monday morning, going to work. And as I was about to get off it, descending through the backdoor, I saw these two young men tongue kissing in the last seat!
Every day I love Rio more and more!

fingertips

I open my eyes. 5 a. m. Jerk off. Stop before shooting. Food and vodka. To the club. 7 a. m. Great beat. Too crowded. Go upstairs. Nice surprise! She's cooling down. Her friend is sweet. Chat up. Go downstairs. Wave to the DJ. Dancing alone. Eyes closed. I feel great. People bump into me softly, as they make their way or jump around. I feel fingertips tapping on my chest to the music. Is it her? No, just some girl that doesn't like bumping her way through. How nice to see that people still do it like that!

tripping the funeral fantastic

- What about Death at a Funeral?
- It's a riot! Great dialogs and plot twists, played very well by the cast. It really shows you how bizarre can a funeral get. And Alan Tudyk is absolutely hilarious as the spaced out guest. Don't die on me without seeing this one first!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 118)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Mauro Espíndola. Looking at the picture, I remember the backlight. Two human figures facing each other. We see their profiles, and they are standing on their toes. But they look a bit like an x-ray picture the colour of gasoline. Somewhat like the people dying in a nuclear flash, the way you see it in the movie The Day After. The shape of it resembles that of a cheap coffin built for two. Very good!

not quite my führer

- What about My Führer - The Truly Truest Truth about Adolf Hitler?
- It made made laugh out loud a couple of times. But I really think they should have gone all the way and make Hitler look as ridiculous as Saddam Hussein in Hot Shots! Just because what Hitler did was horrific, it shouldn't stop us from manic laughter. The Cuban Missile Crisis was serious as hell, but that didn't stop us from laughing with Dr. Strangelove.
- Talking about strange loving, we should do that thing we did yesterday one more time!

Madeleine in Rio

- What do you think that really happened to Madeleine McCann? I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that her parents murdered the girl! Even if only by accident!
- No way, man! Madeleine McCann is in Rio! Her parents helped her to vanish and live her dream of being the DJ in the hot dance music joint La Chica!
- Why would she need to vanish to do that?
- She owed 9 hundred thousand euros to candy dealers, man! It's all on the alternative news websites! Just learn to use this pricey cell phone you just got hold of, for bleep's sake!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 117)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Alice Miceli. I just want to add that the people you saw on her video were all murdered by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. In Prison S-21, only 7 survived out of 14.000. So I guess she is saying FUCK COMMUNISM. Good show!

going downtown

- What about Dasepo Naughty Girls?
- This movie must be the best thing that ever happened to South Korean democracy! If there is any better comedy at that, I want to see it now!
- No! I mean the girls! Are they legal?
- Fuck it, man! You are in Rio de Janeiro! You can get any 18 years old whore that looks younger to dress up as a school girl an spank your ass red! They will even LOOK ASIAN for you, man! Just go downtown and leave me be!

I'm lurvin' it

- It works like this: I go around with a bottle of hard liquor and some plastic cups, giving out free drinks. I tell people I'm a brazilian scientist working for the ANIB, the National Agency for the Irradiation of Booze (Agência Nacional da Irradiação da Birita). And that we are doing an experiment to see what happens when the mind of a human being goes to outer space. They usually agree to participate.
- Man, I love Contemporary Art!

all hail the bossy bottom

- What about The Boss Of It All?
- I liked it a lot! I hope Von Trier does some more comedies with scenes showing people getting fucked from behind and enjoying it that much!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 116)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Alexandre Sá and Daniela Mattos did this thing called Diálogos, which means Dialogs. They were drawing on silk paper, or whatever you call it in english. It's papel seda in portuguese. They were using pens of many colors, and asking for people to do some drawing or writing, without speaking, and then they crumpled it into a flower shape and left it on a corner inside his installation. Good show!

a little more realistic pillow

- Did you like it?
- Well, it was nice to see some canadian cock on the big screen! And I could certainly feel for the girl, who got a little confused when her happy aimless fucking lead her to meet a special man! In a way, it was a romantic drama with some more realistic sexuality, and maybe even a happy ending! You watch it and decide!
- I'm not sure the title Lie With Me is a good omen as to my liking this movie!
- Well, I can take you to my place and make you suck my dick! That would certainly be even more realistic than the scenes you won't see!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 115)

- Posiçaõ 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- I will only mention the ones I have something to add about, OK? For example: looking at the pictures of Adriano Melhem's paintings, it didn't occur to me to say anything else, because I've already said I like them, and why. So, moving on to Alessandra Vaghi. Her painted silk works were very good! She called them Contra-ponto, which means Counterpoint. She hanged them out on a line, like drying clothes, during TV Zona. They were photographs embroidered into painted silk, and she left the needles hanging from the lines, it was all in your face! Neat!

Frenchie's angels

- So, how was Exterminating Angels?
- The lesbian sex looked more real than in other movies! And it was fun to watch the emotional pain, and listen to the enigmatic radio voices! Lezzie porn with a plot! Good show!

how cold

- How could you make me wait for you to arrive outside your building during the rush hour? All those crowds!
- Oh, God! You could've died of laughter!

did you

- Did you see the nazi gang in Israel?
- Intolerance is getting dumber all the time!

no terrorist

No terrorist material found on the text below. Just your regular religious speech.
Não importa se é científico, gente! O que importa é que a próxima ditadurazinha evolucionistazinha vai querer quebrar o record, matando mais gente que Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot e Suharto juntos. Pra isso, vão mandar matar qualquer um que já usou óculos, ou fumou qualquer cigarro, ou esteve na presença de algum fumante, ou teve gripe mais de duas vezes na vida. Assim vão tentar construir um mundo de gente forte e saudável, e vão se ferrar bonitinho, porque tem sempre alguma coisa imprevisível nesse mundinho de infinita complexidadezinha. Tipo os fracotes cobrirem Dresden de bombas incendiárias e ainda por cima jogarem mais duas atômicas nos japoneses. Realmente, só o humor constrói! =)

fing about it

- I like to pay women to finger my pussy! You've got a problem with that, fuck you!
- No problem, sister! You are free to buy the hand that fingers you!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 114)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- I've got news for you: Chico Fernandes asked for all the artists to send him videos and photos of Posição 2004, for he's making a video about it! I tried to send the photo of Ponte, but it was perhaps too many bytes for some link along the way, so it didn't go! I guess I'll just have to use the mail and send him a CD! This is gonna be awesome!

beneath the scalp

- Hair undercurrent?
- Yes! The main currents are the classics and the fashionable of your moment in time! But the hair undercurrent works on the subconscious mind of the person cutting your hair, and it just oozes its way into your haircut, that leans just a little bit towards the fashionable, so the end result is great!

checking Chico Fernandes

The intercepted fragment below mentions a video about the art show Posição 2004 that is being made by one of the participating artists, Chico Fernandes. Like every other artist involved, we found no connection between him and any known terrorist cell. Just another case of harmless freedom of expression.
Ele falou em pedir imagens pros artistas. E colher depoimentos. E juntar com imagens da abertura, algo assim. Eu disse que só tenho as fotos digitais do meu objeto. Ele disse que tudo bem, e que queria falar com o éramos3 [the correct spelling is éramos 3]. Acho que posso dar uma olhada nos CDs, e depois passo pra ele.

gonna

- Come with me, honey!
- I'm sorry, baby! I'm looking for cock!
- Oh, but I have a set of plastic ones! I can be just the size you want me to be, I never go soft, you are positively gonna LUV it!

checking Posição 2004

The text below was part of an intercepted message. All the info we have about the art show called Posição 2004, the main subject of the texts related to this one, points out to the fact that the artists involved are not connected to any known terrorist cells. At worst, their activities should be classified as harmless freedom of expression.
Encontrei e transcrevo o texto que o Khalil escreveu em maio de 2004. Apenas inseri "[sic]" depois do nome de Christo Javacheff, para evitar a confusão com Jesus, e depois de dois erros de acentuação que escaparam da revisão antes da impressão. E o título entre colchetes, já que inexiste título no original. Só pra ter como chamar o texto.

willing

- How come you get all the girls?
- I just tell them I'm willing to take a bath before sex, or at least wash my scrotum and glans!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 113)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. First?
- Adriana Heemann. Série Densidades, which means Density Series. 21 x 30 cm. Charcoal on paper. 2004. I didn't remember the blur and the lines around the spots. They resemble organic cells, which is even weirder, and I like it!

something good

- It's all over the web! Americans as old as 90 are still having sex!
- Surprised? Try to find something good to watch on the TV!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 112)

- Posição 2004: did you sort out the CDs yet?
- Yes! There's also some printed material! And a list of the main participants of TV Zona! And some written notes, including some by Cristina Amiran, or Gê Pinheiro, I'm not sure! They are basically control notes, like who to ask for some more information, or some different images, with higher resolution, or about electronic copies of images that the computer won't open! I guess we should start with Adriana Heemann, and proceed in alphabetic order, transcribing any info about the works, and looking at the available images, so maybe I'll have some more memories to add!

axe

- It's on Google News New Zealand! Teenage who murdered her mother with an axe last year was unable to explain why she did it when faced with her family in court!
- She must be still regaining her breath!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 111)

- Posição 2004: any beautiful moments you care to mention?
- Two girls spent some hours taping some wood-like adhesive vynil all around the pool, so it looked like a huge picture frame, the picture being whatever was going on inside the pool! Awesome!

qi

- It's on Google News UK! Officials in New Zealand found children's garments imported from China to contain levels of formaldehyde 900 times above the recommended safety limits!
- They're for Goth kids!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 110)

- Posição 2004: anything else you remember?
- There was a work with a block of ice on a table, and you could manipulate it with aluminum tools, and make some pretty spaced out sounds! And I also remember a pretty icy joke: a cross-stitch embroidery portrait of an unknown man, and I think it was untitled. One day, someone visiting the show looked at it and said it was Mohammed Atta, 9/11 suicide pilot. Almost undetected! That was weird, man! So my congrats to whoever did this bad taste gesture! Talk about shock value! I also remember this woman drawing directly into the glass door of one of the female restroom's stalls. You had to enter the restroom to see it properly. This probably led to some embarrassing moments, specially during the amazingly crowded opening night. I also remember this work that had two sides, A and B. It was on one of those things I don't know the name of. They are reclining wood walls with wheels to be pushed around, that people use to lean paintings against, when they are too big for the classic easel, and have two sides. Maybe they're called easels, too. Anyway, the main thing about it was that the guy called your attention to it, by using both sides! And one night, I think it was when Círculo do Sol took the empty pool, a woman with some eccentric clothes singing some opera thing. Maybe they were just opera clothes, I don't know much about opera. I just know it sounded and looked eerie and marvelous!
And if you go to Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, this lake in Rio de Janeiro City, right behind Ipanema Beach, you will see some waving sculptures in basic colors. They are like pendulums, a heavy structure on the lower side, and a paddle-like end high up on a stick. The high end was like two paddle blades making a cross, in order to better capture the winds, and keeping it moving, like a colored metal flower moving back and forth. They were there during the show, in front of the house. I love them! That's all I remember right now!

gone out

- Out where? Copacabana?
- Mexico! She's skydiving in the eye of Hurricane Dean!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 109)

- Posição 2004: your memories of the groups. Next?
- TV Zona. That was the day Aimberê Cesar took over the empty pool, as I've told you. It was fun, but I don't recall any other further details. Just check what I've told you before, about the pic-nic breakfast and stuff.
- What about Grupo Um?
- That was the next day, Friday. I only remember this dance-action where they "filled" the pool with fake water made out of blue lines of fabric, and had a sort of acquatic ballet. It was very beautiful!
- Círculo do Sol?
- The Sun Circle! I remember their bright colored tents inside the pool, and the Trance they played! They also had some projections on a bed sheet hanging from the terrace! Good show!
That was Saturday!
- Edifício Galaxi?
- Galaxi Building did a very spaced out show! Someone distributed masks, and the Orquestra Galaxi went into a frenzied chaotic jazz, as I've told you before! Good show!
- OK! Anything else you want to say about éramos 3?
- I'm glad we were there!

some more time

- Like Einstein said: if you are a pacifist, go to some freaky dance party while you can!
- Yeah! Be non-violent until you can't take those damn horns and whistles anymore! Then move away from the loudspeakers, and be a pacifist some more time!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 108)

- Posição 2004: your memories of the groups. Next?
- Wait! I've gotta tell you: Gê passed on the CDs to me, so now we're gonna get weird watching the images the artists sent in, and comparing them to my memories!
- How many of them?
- I don't know yet! This was saturday, and I still gotta make a list of them! Gê said that Wilton Montenegro took like ten of them, for some work stuff. The rest is all with me! But first, we'll finish my memories of the groups! Then we'll see if what I've said so far makes sense compared to the photos!
- You mean you still believe photography shows the truth?
- Sometimes, yeah!

whole lot

- Using youtube as a radio, man! I'm not looking most of the time! I'm typing away at some other window! It's freaky like you make up your soundtrack as you go along! Choose your decade!
- You realise, of course, that Adapop sounds evil in Rio, because it reminds people of that criminal organisation that goes by the name Amigos Dos Amigos!

- Em que Posição você se encontrava em 1994? [What was your position in 1994?]. That was the collective name of all the stuff that happened inside the empty pool on the opening night. I've already told you all I can remember. That night was a bit scary, but I had plenty of fun 99% of the time. Good show!

- She stabbed herself in the belly, killing her unborn baby, then called the paramedics! She's fine now! Said she did it cause she changed her mind! She didn't want to be a mother anymore! And it was too late to get an abortion! So she figured she'd stop the process! Even if she had to die doing so!

I want to go to a place where the DJ plays Flipper's live version of Life, from the Rat Music For Rat People album, and girls are kissing other girls, and guys are kissing trannies, and each other, and jumping and shouting like a bunch of kids!

- Thiago Rocha Pitta. He did the smoking ashes installation outside. It was small pile of hay, or something. Hay ashes that were smoking, because there was actually some fire within. It had to be done a few meters from the building, with him holding a garden hose, and using it to control the amount of fire. After the opening night, all that remained was a pile of moist ashes. That was pretty weird, and looked easy to do, so I liked it very much!

What she did was nailing a carpet to the floor, but making receding waves, and two sections of it, so you actually felt like a giant crossing the open waters of the Red Sea in five or six steps. Great idea!

- Rachel Castro. She did this video installation that was way subtle, man! I only now realise it. It was this plain TV set hanging above our heads, like any other you see anywhere in the world. In one of those TV set hangers you attach to the upside of a wall. So it looked like the main thing were the videos. They were some fine pieces of Rhythm Video Art, alright. But the real thing was that they were a bit too long for you to watch it all standing up, looking upwards. Like maybe more than 20 minutes. I can't say, because I wasn't able to watch it all. But I came back a few times to watch some more of it. I guess that was part of the idea, really. But if it was not in the original plan, what a great unplanned result! It showed us fleeting beauty, just like it happens lots of times, right before our eyes. Good show!

They looked like mixes of text and images that she probably assembled in her personal computer and printed in a common computer printer. That's all I remember, and also that they looked quite beautiful. That's good enough for me!

So it was a direct pun with Lage Park, where the art show happened. He glued some tabloid news onto the slab. As I remember it, at least one of them had to do with a man that was left for dead by criminals who shot him, but "came back" from death, as he wasn't really mortally wounded. That one really made me smile! Good show!

There is a pen marker in order for you to write your name on the label of the garment you are leaving behind. I love it!

It showed a teapot turning itself around quite fast, from one side to another, like it was standing on a turntable. You could see it was a sped up image. Anyway, it twisted like it was dancing or something, and it made a funny blah blah blah noise that sounded like a cartoon high-pitched unintelligible talk and laughter. A bit like the Laughing Gnome from the David Bowie song of the same name. It just made you laugh. People felt good. You could even hear it from other rooms during the show, and it made you laugh again. I don't know what the original idea was, but I loved it! Absolutely great fun!

I only know this because I read it somewhere that she said so, in some newspaper interview, possibly in O Globo. For me, they are just beautiful shapes, and that's truly fine!

Anyway, it had something to do with art as bursting through our barriers, like an overflown cup. Man, was he right about what was going to happen! I'll say it again: we were lucky nobody got accidentally killed on that opening night, for the drunken crowd went quite crazy, and it was too big, and someone could have easily dived head first into the empty pool. Thank God it all ended up well! As for Khalil, I believe he summed up the overall feeling of being inside a war and founding a haven in the art show, where we could be a bit more ourselves. Nice going!

I saw some pamphlet saying it was about how the government should give more money to art schools, or something. I think it's fair enough to say that we not only need more good jobs and hospitals, but also all kinds of schools. And the resulting visual presence of the table after it was left there, as an installation, was intense, and very beautiful. Good show!

It means Persistent Organic Polluter. I'm not sure I remember the words right, but it made it look like it might be truly an acronym on the boxes. I loved it! It almost got crushed by the drunken crowd during the opening night, and we had to dismantle it and build it up again the next day. That was one of the works that made you smile when you learned the name of it. I like that!

Jacqueline was turning Pop into real sadness, and it felt like plastified metallic blues, which sounds good, and I like very much. Good show!

The TV was on, and you could see and hear some other part of the art show, near the bar, and nobody was told they were on. You couldn't see them clearly, for they were seen from afar, but the voices were very clear, at times. With 3 thousand people passing through on that opening night, it was quite weird. Scary fun, if you pay attention, and I like it!

He asked for a portion of a wall to be left dirty with paint drips and blots, and stuff like that, and used them as a background for a white paint rectangle he painted over them! I tell you, man: I don't know where art's going to go, but if we do go back to painting for a while, as a mainstream thing, that's a fine way he found to cross that river!
- Do you really think it would be good if painting did take the spotlight over other techniques?

- We should deglam suicide, you know? So that people don't think killing themselves has any glamour at all!
- Done! First we legalise individual suicide, as long as no one else is physically harmed and it gets videoed. Then we start something like an Youtube to show the suicide videos! Call it Youdie!
- How's that gonna stop suicide?
- There is no stopping it! But it would eventually become so common, it would be boring for lots of people! That would certainly make suicide rates drop a long long way! It would no longer be the ultrafashionable thing to do!

- Franz Manata. As I said before, the airport metal detector that reads EXST instead of exit is simply fantastic!
- OK. Next?
- Gabriela Noujaim. That's the one with the roses over the broken glass. I've mentioned it before. Great stuff!
- OK. Next?
- Gê Pinheiro. I've already talked about the one with the small wax children crowding into a wall. Really good show!
- OK Next?
- Guga. He did this floor washcloth with a silkscreened image of George W. Bush, you know? I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but he was selling them very cheap, for they were unsigned, and people loved them! I wonder if someone did send one of them over to a janitor friend in the United States. Anyway, his was a great idea for humorous criticism! Thumbs up!

purple

- I used to worry about these little purple veins, until a boyfriend told me they made my legs look as beautiful as marble.
- I simply LOVE art! Let me start by kissing the feet of your living sculpture, and work my way up to heaven!

- Florence Belfort did this delicious metal structure that was up on the roof! We were lucky nobody tried to eat it up! It looked raw, but SO tasty! Those freaky metal shapes! I loved it!

beautiful death dream

- I had this death dream that felt quite vivid and looked like an example. I died in a car crash that was impossible, for it happened at my job, but the architecture of the place was completely different. So I guess I was being shown what it's like to be dead. For I was suddenly invisible. I kept coming back to my job, unnoticed, and even heard one of my co-workers said she missed me. The thing is, we are not that close. Every time the picture got whiter and harder to define in my eyes. Like I was progressively loosing contact with this world, and going to a place with some very bright lights. I felt funny that I only ever saw this woman that I do not work directly with. The others were white shades. And I was never near my family, or friends, or the one I love. Something told me it was for the best. In the end, I felt my memories vanishing, as I fell asleep into this bright white light.
- Hey! I want to have a dream like that, too! I want the name of that whiskey, man!

- Fernando de La Rocque. The man with the golden cockroach! Really! His work was a small plastic box with a live cockroach painted gold inside. It barely moved, but its legs moved a little from time to time. I understand it was dying before our eyes. He told us he did it like this: opening the manholes to Rio's sewers and chasing the emerging cockroaches with a golden paint spray can. After painting them, it was quite easy to capture the things. Great show!

get around

- So you're from a planet so far from here it looks almost exactly like this one, with a few differences?
- Yeah! Like, we have a Planet Government, and it has solved the problem of hunger with a project called Money for Nothing, where all you have to do to get a job doing nothing is to show up once, or send an e-mail, or letter, or give them a call on the phone! The money is very good, and you can work somewhere else, if you like! So everyone can afford to eat and have a nice house, and go out every night and get drunk and dance until dawn! And we have no fatal diseases, except life itself! And also: all the subways and other public transportation have airbags and all, like the best cars! In fact, I'm only here in your planet to get a taste of the danger, by taking that bus that's coming over there! See ya 'round!

- Felipe Barbosa. I believe his work was called Satélite, which means Satellite. It was hanging from the ceiling, looked like a dark ball with metallic needles coming out of it, and it was made with cheap tv antennas. That was another Pure Pop explosion of beauty I remember from the show. I'm glad I was there to see it.

go for it

- I'm arriving in Rio! What's up?
- Just go to Rua Jornalista Orlando Dantas, number 53! The name of the art show is ASSOCIADOS, or something! You gotta see this, man!

here come the warm jets

- His mirror shades looked so good as I creamed his face!
- Yay! Step into the liquid light, man!

right now

-She licked her sister's pussy a little bit, while fingering the ass, so her sister was in outer space with pleasure! Then I fucked her sister in the ass. She started spanking my ass while I fucked that butt, and before long, she was fingering my butt, which felt like her true desire, the way she flicked those fingers. I swear I saw milky molten stars as I came, man! It felt SOOO good!
- Yes! I'm ready to lick your balls now!

- Posição 2004: your memories. Next?
- Eduardo Berliner. That was great, man! He took a couple of small pillows and painted on them! One was painted with merbromin. I don't remember the image, but I guess it had something to do with a spiritual wound or wathever. The other one was called Tooth Fairy or something, and was painted with toothbrush! That was no less than Superb Pop, man! Cheers!

at once

- Yeah, I need an ambulance here! He's pretty beaten up, and his head is bleeding! And call the cops to get me arrested.
- For what, Sir?
- I did the beating! The son of a bitch came here saying he was in trouble for spanking an Andromeda Seven transexual prostitute with some of his drunken friends, so I just beat the shit out of him, miserable bastard! That will teach him some respect! And if he does wake up again, you can tell him he's not my son anymore, you hear me? Now, get the cops and paramedics here at once!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 61)

- Posição 2004: from your memory. First?
- Ducha. Someone put his name on the list. We tried to contact him. No answer. His name is on the list anyway. As I said before: this is a translucid action, which means that even the artist might not now it is art until some time afterwards. I don't know if Ducha knows, but I liked very much his act of participating only in the list, without any actual work in the art show. It is also very much in the line of another work that he did at the Gentil Carioca Gallery, in which he wrote a very aggressive text with a ballpoint pen in a yellow post-it and glued it to the wall. Nice going!
- OK. Next?
- Edna Kauss. She did this sculpture with three rusted iron monoliths in a very close triangle shape, that you might think they are touching each other, if you are seing them from a distance. They are actually attached to an iron base that is buried out of sight, so they look like these ominous eruptions. Very stern, and I like it! I believe it is still there for you to see, righ in front of the Cavalariças Gallery, in Lage Park.

detainees to be released

- Google News UK said: Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, stated that he would seek the cabinet approval to release 250 detainees from Fateh movement as part of a series of measures to boost the power of the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas.
- The detainees' conversation was too boring for the Israeli Defense Forces, so they decided to let them go.

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 60)

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Deborah Levys Epstein. I don't know the name of it, but she did a performance painting her body, and showed some photos of painted body parts. Some sort of Space Age Primitivism or something. The woman has got guts, and I like it!
- OK. Next?
- Just a name: Diana Osward. As I said, I was taking my notes from the forms they sent us, explaining their works, so we could organize the art show in its space. Gê has got them, I think. We were at her place, talking about some project for éramos 3, or something. As always, I was telling jokes, making comments, and drawing. That particular evening, I found the forms, I took notes. I stopped at Diana Osward's name. I don't remember her work. We should check it with Gê.
- OK. Let's go through the rest of the list, and you tell us what you remember. Just look at the names, and tell us what you can.

I am not better than anyone else, so I must be doing something right!

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Deborah Engel. I think they were untitled. Some pretty neat high contrast photos, and a wall mask that looked like it was from ancient Africa. I don't understand, and I don't care, for I like it very much!
