- 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!
