eccentric funny coverage area

The coverage area of my cell phone is flaky, like sometimes it goes out simply because I went under an UMBRELLA!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 17)

- Tell us about what Tatiana Blass showed at the Posição 2004 art show!
- I remember the paintings looked very tasty! And I think one of them bled into the wall as colored adhesive plastic! We call it contact paper in Brazil, because of a brand called Con-tact. Anyway, I simply loved the colors and shapes! Like some dreamy abstractions. And they were small canvasses! That impressed me very much in a quite favorable way! I was very pleased!

dick-titted woman

She's a dick-titted woman: her nipples feel as good to her as the head of my cock when receiving a full wet kiss. And I love to kiss her tits!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 16)

- What about the Suzana Queiroga show, at the nearby Cavalariças, inside Lage Park? How do you relate it to the Posição 2004 art show?
- A beautiful counterpoint! In fact, it was so beautiful I wanted to eat her art! I like it when an art object does this to me, you know? Gives me this nonsensical hunger for beatifully processed minerals!

happy go lucky!

- Your book "Capitalist, YEAH!" ["Capitalista, sim!" in portuguese] looks pretty much like the work of a closet liberal, when it ends up saying that human lives are our most valuable capital.
- Well, I was dancing drunk inside this gay-friendly nightclub in Rio, when I saw this guy with a T-shirt that had that famous Che Guevara face, but with the red star replaced by those golden arches that fast-food lovers from all over the planet recognize instantly. I had to laugh and comment, and he said he liked the scandal it provoked on liberals, and I ended up saying something like: if not capitalist, forget it! Then I went home to get some absurd amount of coffee in my brain, and wrote the book in a few freaked out days of pure bliss! Anyway, my next book will be called ASSASSINATO SEGUIDO DE ESTUPRO, which means HOMICIDE FOLLOWED BY RAPE, and will be just as happy go lucky!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 15)

- What can you tell us about Heleno Bernardi's work at Posição 2004?
- I liked it a lot, this big photograph of a head that looked like it had lost its skin and eyes and was nothing more than pink and red chaos. I think he used bubblegum. Anyway, it had that mixed feeling of horror and fun to it!

beautiful red shoes

- I'm gonna kill myself!
- Before you do it, be sure to leave those beautiful bright red running shoes of yours outside your door, will ya? I'm picking them up on my way to the bear party! And say "hi" to Jesus for me on the other side!

Happy Hare

Well, I understand this guy John Locke said
That if the Government steals your bread
And tries to make you a slave to the Crown
You have the right to shoot it down

As for me, I'm a happy hare
In other words: I'm too drunk to care!
Yeah!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 14)

- Please try and tell us what you do remember about your éramos 3 group show inside the Posição 2004 group show!
- OK. Ana Sarmento did this picture of two or three wine glasses over a white tablecloth. I believe one of them was broken, and the red wine was spilled. It just hit my soul, man, the way she did it. Maybe it was too subtle for others, and even for herself to notice what she had accomplished. But it really did it for me! As for Cristina Amiran, that was lots of fun to help her by being the models for her photos, and the final wall objects with the photos were probably the most successful in doing the BRIDGE thing that was supposed to link our individual works. They were also yummy, and I love the chaos math analogy! Gê Pinheiro did this floor installation with these monochrome beige small children figures that are used by catholic believers to thank the saints for saving their children's lives. She made them flock up into this wall, except for one or two that looked the other way, like they were awakening from the collective conformity trance or something. I think her work was the best when you think about straight up communication with the general public, and that's a certain plus with me! And Khalil did this kind of manifesto that he ended up typing into this bakery paper that is used in Brazil to wrap that french bread, you know? Just go to any bakery and you will find it! it is also used to wrap ham, cheese, and stuff like that, once you slice them up and wrap 'em in plastic, so it is like the outer face of what is really basic survival inside. I think Khalil really hit the nail in the head, if you can open your mind to the war situation I've already mentioned, you know? It is really about the survival both of our collective and individual minds during a planet-wide war! I'm not being dramatic, just pointing it out! I am sure the next generations won't let us use this war thing as an excuse for anything, and that's fine with me!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 13)

- So, tell us about the photo that Ana Sarmento showed at the Posição 2004 art show!
- Now, listen! I will give you the e-mails, so you can check with Ana, and Cristina Amiran, and Gê Pinheiro, and Khalil Charif, for I have given them texts I have written about their works. They didn't ask me to do it, and were pleasantly surprised, so I believe they still have them. All I have today is my memories of almost 3 years!

Check this maioridade fodal thing

Dear Agent Orange,
Please have the code guys check this:
LULA QUER REDUZIR MAIORIDADE FODAL
Presidente afirma: Quem pode com a nossa paciência de pais e mães do brasil, pode com a Justiça, e tem que responder pelos seus atos obscuros e inconfessáveis. Lula disse ainda que vai lutar para reduzir a maioridade fodal para 2 anos.

Check this dada-something

Dear Agent Orange,
Please have the code guys check this piece of info we tracked:
Dada é o que há! =) Tudo bem que ficou marcado como um movimento de reação ao horror da primeira guerra mundial. Mas, pra mim, o importante é a frase que um deles disse: NENHUM SISTEMA TAMBÉM É UM SISTEMA, MAS É O MELHOR QUE HÁ. Se hoje podemos fazer praticamente qualquer coisa na arte, devemos muito a este grupo de palhaços que brincaram de quebrar todas as regras.
Kind regards,
Agent Green

Groovy, baby!

Dear Agent Green,
I'm kind of concerned about my act. Doing coke traffic and sniffing with the guys is getting to be too much fun for me! Motherfuckwhore turned out to be a club that I was taken to while blindfolded, and it is way out fun! Like people are getting REALLY stoned and all! My secret GPS located it somewhere underground in Leblon. I will give you a full report about it, as soon as I manage to come down and get some proper sleep.
Kind regards,
Agent Orange

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 12)

- Tell us some more about Silvia D and her Funk C drawing!
- No way! YOU go and find her online or something! Maybe I'm a deluded fool, but I don't think she wants that much publicity!
- What about Gustavo Prado?
- Man, I don't pretend that I know what he meant! I just enjoyed the environment he built! I just went there over and over to enjoy its pure sensorial impact on me! You just go to Rio's MAM and ask Franz Manata to give you his phone number! And, while you're at it, ask Franz about his piece at the show! It was right at the entrance of Posição 2004! It looked just like one of those airport metal detectors, but it had a blinking red-letter sign over the passage that looked like it spelled EXIT, but in fact it says EXST! Now, THAT'S some great stuff, man! Subtle and in-your-face at the same time! Just ask for a silent minute to look at the pictures of it, before he tells you all about it! Let the silence of the photos hit your mind!

Subject: Motherfuckwhore

Dear Agent Green,
Motherfuckwhore seems to be the name of an underground disco in Rio de Janeiro. We are investigating it carefully, for they only use word of mouth publicity. We are going to be deeply undercover here.
Kind regards,
Agent Orange

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 11)

- Did you hear about people having sex while hidden inside the Posição 2004 art show?
- I guess they were using ball gags, for I didn't hear a single moan!

have a nice week

Dear Agent Green,
The following looks like a joke about spam:
QUEBRE esta corrente!
Se você passar adiante isto aqui, ou não, vai TER SORTE DO MESMO JEITO!
Não existem relatos confirmando ou desmentindo a frase anterior! Tenha uma boa semana!
We are still investigating.
Kind regards,
Agent Orange

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 10)

- What about the rumours that some video equipment were stolen at the last day of Posição 2004, at an hour when there were fewer people visiting the show?
- There is no police record of this.

What MANOCROMO means

Dear Agent Green,
MANO means brother, and is used by black people in São Paulo and elsewhere, as black people in the United States use the words MAN, BROTHER, or NIGGA. MONOCROMO means monochrome. So, MANOCROMO is MANO+MONOCROMO. It is supposed to be an ironic protest against racist black people, as well as against the oppression that black people suffer. I believe the artist is just another harmless pacifist cry-baby drunkard. The idea is nice, but too subtle, in my opinion. Anyway, he seems to be on our side, favoring capitalism with a human face. Not a target.
Kind regards,
Agent Orange

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 9)

- We understand that, during Posição 2004, a teacher was told by one of the artists to fuck off, when she complained about a man selling beer inside the empty pool.
- I've heard that one. Didn't see it happen, though. It was not bobN, but one of his guests. I'm not naming the guy, but I noticed how drunk he was, and I believe it did happen. That was not nice of him, but I understand wartime art can get pretty edgy. I am glad the teacher did not respond by punching his nose in.
- Aren't you taking too far this World Trade War thing? I mean, Brazilian troops are nowhere near Iraq! And there's been no terrorist attacks inside Brazilian territory!
- Well, this war is planet wide, man! Of course I know things are much hairier in Iraq and some other places! But I believe terrorist bombings could happen in Brazil! We have poor people with little hope for the future! And we have fundamentalism! Don't forget that some Brazilians really believed, back in the nineteen-sixties, that they could start a civil war, overthrow the Military Dictatorship, and build a Communist Dictatorship! Yeah, right! Like it was feasible, and would make a GREAT difference to change FROM ONE CRAP TO ANOTHER! Stupid ideas translate into stupid action here, in the Land of the Samba, too, you know? I just hope we are getting too smart for that kind of shit! But things COULD become much weirder in Brazil, believe me! I'm sorry to say that, but it really doesn't seem too far-fetched! I just pray that the over-optimistic are proven right!

miniature swamp

After a series of orgasms, I had to stop, because I felt a pressure from inside my ass. Even before I took the dildo out, I was farting out some huge amount of air that I had just put inside my bowels with my bobbing up and down. It didn't smell, and I don't know why. Then I went potty in my hand, as I took the dildo out while sitting on the toilet. It was some strange warm sticky feeling betweem my hand and ass. I looked at the stuff, which, sure enough, looked and felt like warm chocolate. But the smell would fool no one! So I put my hand down the toilet and flushed away. The water went brown like a miniature swamp.

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 8)

- We understand that some people were on the verge of starting a fight during the Orquestra Galaxi show, at the last day of Posição 2004.
- Yeah, I guess some people were upset because they were too loud, and the music was quite chaotic! A girl I won't name said it was Zoo Jazz, you know? Playing like mindless animals! I think they were just banging away, like fuck-all, which is great fun, but can be very annoying for most people! I liked it, but, on the same style, I think the Velvet Underground did a better job with European Son. Anyway, bobN used the empty pool to show some of his art, and invited different artists to use the space each day, during Posição 2004. So I guess the whole thing was supposed to be some sort of fringe art invasion, and I am happy to say that no bones were broken, and no one died! And no one had to worry about the police, for it all happened at an earlier hour, and there was no breaking of silence laws, either!
- So, are you buying any of their albums?
- I don't know that they have any! But, if they do, I would try to listen to it!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 7)

- Well, Marcelo, this Posição 2004 art show looks like an attempt to ressurect Dadaism!
- Oh! I see. That would be fine with me, except for the fact that Dadaism is not dead! Art movements don't die! They simply change names and addresses, or fall asleep for some years! Even Dadaism was really Nonsense with a new name and some different intentions. We could say we were some sort of dadaists for the War on Terrorism, but I doubt some of the artists involved at Posição 2004 would buy that label. Then again, we could say that NOT BUYING the idea is BEING PART OF IT, TOO, just like some dadaist from 1916 would say! And also: I suppose we were also hoping to make some money! You see, we are very optimistic, most of us!
- I should think this self-mocking would not be bought by every artist that was there, either!
- Right! But Brazil is a free country, and they are free to hate my jokes, as long as they do it in a peaceful way!

Ice cream cum

I understand Rio is supposed to be very violent nowadays, but I am not about to give you an answer to that problem, and not having an answer makes me go out and drink an DANCE ME HEAD OFF!
I was drunk. Wasn't really hitting on her. Just talking away with anyone, really! OK, there was a couple of guys, and maybe one or two girls there that I would snog. I ended up with a quick kiss from this friend. By then, I think she understood and set off to get some other guy to nail her. My friend also danced while hugging me for a few minutes. I think I would have liked some more kissing, but the music was so good, I was feeling pretty fine later on at the nearest open bakery.
I fell asleep unwashed, then woke up in a hurry to go get some stuff done outside, without shades, A GREAT BIG SUNNY SATURDAY MORNING IN RIO, and I'm not complaining: I like the sun, as long as I can get some fresh air at the nearest shopping center. I had lunch with this couple I know, and fell asleep at their sofa, as they were getting dressed for some social occasion. They gave me a ride home on their way to a less lunatic party. May the Gods give you a long and happy life!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 6)

- How do you guys from éramos 3 group situate the Posição 2004 art show in terms of contemporary art theory?
- Once again: this here is Marcelo, and I can't pretend to represent I speak for the group! They might have a different opinion! I myself think it of it as a collective action started by us, that got way out of hand, but was protected by the gods or something! Some people were quite out of their minds at various moments, and we are lucky that no one was hurt!
- Can you be more specific?
- Not about the altered states! No names, please!
- About the collective action, then! Isn't this to much of an old and dead thing from the sixties or seventies?
- Sure! This is not 1965! But we have to deal with the ghosts of Warhol, Beuys, Oiticica and others! And the shadows of Bridget Riley, Gunther von Hagens, Romero Britto, Chris Burden, and Jeff Koons! I think we did a pretty good job of taking the opportunity we had, and used the space of Lage Park Art School to a very good effect! Then again: what will survive, except for some individual works, will be the memories of the event itself! For those who were open to it, I am sure it was a rush of fresh air! A dance of hearts and minds!
- What individual works?
- Well, my favorites were Gustavo Prado's fluorescent light installation downstairs, and this wildly humorous drawing called "Funk C", or something like that, by Silvia D, you know? The one with the masochistic viet cong! Talk about chutzpah!

- Have you seen the photos of Britney Spears with her head shaved?
- Yeah, but that's too hot for me to watch!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 5)

- Can you tell us why the art show was called POSIÇÃO 2004? Was this supposed to be some collective political stance?
- Well, I believe the original idea of us from éramos 3 was that the show should be as aesthetically varied as possible, like a map of all tendencies at the year 2004! So that's why we called it what would be translated as POSITION 2004! Like saying: this is where we are TODAY! As it evolved, it turned out to be a curator-free show, where the artists themselves chose what they were showing! I don't think there was any unified political view! We were just hoping that expressing ourselves would help the planet, I guess, but even that is not completely certain! I can't swear every single artist was optimistic! I'm sure I was and still am! The way I see it, we were trying to make some sense of a world gone mad! We can't ignore the fact that we were at the beginning of the World Trade War that started with the 9/11 terrorist attacks! It's almost 3 years later, and public opinion seems to have changed, specially in the United States! Back in 2004, it was like: WHAT'S GOING ON? WHAT CAN WE DO? Well, in my humble opinion, we did what Keith Richards once said was all the Rolling Stones could do: Keep on rockin' and hope for the best! I believe it was the Disco Era when he said that! Maybe we are still trying to get out of that crazy oil crisis, you know? I hope we don't destroy the human race in the process of trying to save the planet! Anyway, whatever happens next, I sure hope you are having some fun at least fifteen minutes every day, man! In the end, it might well be all you have, except for your inner core of hope!

time to have fun

death might come in a flash, my friend
it don't matter if you're old or young
you won't have any time to repent
for not taking any time to have fun

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 4)

- Please state your name and your part in the art show POSIÇÃO 2004!
- My name is Marcelo Moraes, and I did the upside down casserole with a pink handle! It's called BRIDGE, because each one of us at éramos 3 group was supposed to do something called BRIDGE! That would be a bridge between our works, as we were the bridge between the artists and the Lage Park School! So yes, I was also one of the guys and girls organizing the thing! And also, I can't swear I know what I am talking about! You can go to Lage Park School's website and check the photo of my object! It is easy to find it, for the pink handle really pops at you! As for the explanation of our work, you better check with them others! Mine started with the pink handle against the silver of the casserole, and was meant to be unusual! Hope you have fun! I sure did! Those five days were some of the best in my life!

what pica jumencial means

Dear Agent Green,
My research on PICA JUMENCIAL indicates it could be translated as DONKEYISH DICK. That expression would mean a very big penis.
That's all for now,

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 3)

- OK, when was that Posição 2004?
- The freakening night was the 14th of july, 2004!
- Freakening night?
- Yeah, that was a FREAK OUT OPENING NIGHT, man! Not its official name or intention, but I hear the Director of Lage Park Art School had to scream to get heard when he was forced to intervene and tell the people to turn the damn sound way down or else the Military Club Hotel across the street would see it that the police would do it! I was already home, but I was told that it was turning into a mad drumming happening or something! People were on the verge of channeling spirits or whatever! Fucking crazy, man!
