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!

- 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.

QASH: Quizzical Assessment of the Situation in Hand

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

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 59)

- 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!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 58)

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Daniela Fortes: Idiossincrasia, which means Idiosyncrasy. We'll have to check it with Gê, for I don't remember anything about this one. Maybe it's one of those I remember without knowing the names of the artist or the work.
- OK. Next?
- Daniela Mattos. I think it's an untitled work. She was walking around giving out crochet flowers to the people. The flowers were tied to her dress, and slowly unravelled themselves as she went on giving flowers to other people across the art show. Fantastic!

Super supper

- OK! Now, you shit chute is nice and clean, and your brown babies have been eaten by the slave next door! I will now give it to you up the ass, and will eventually untie your gag. When I do so, all you should say is YES! Do you understand?
- You shoul either untie the gag or the head of the poor devil, if you really want an answer!
- Shut up! You are here to watch and wank!
- I'M COMING!
- Don't forget to eat it up!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 57)

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Daniel Toledo: Homem Espelho, Which means Mirror Man. As I told you before, this one is great, and photos don't show it as it is. You can only see his eyes, and the cracked mirror outfit is heavy, and he won't talk to you as he walks or as he stands. You look at it and it just shows you and the world in bits and pieces. Fragmentation is cohesion, man! Good show!

It's a clean machine

- Oh, baby! I simply NEED to shit in your mouth NOW!
- Hold it, honey! I'm washing my mouth first!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 56)

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Daniel Lannes: Jardim das Delícias, which means Garden of Delights. That's a great painting of a famous Brazilian TV clown over a landscape that looks like something painted in the style of the nineteeth-century. It's a visual joke, in the sense that the absurd inclusion of the clown over the landscape, looking at you, like someone changed the background of his TV show, is weird enough. You can go on and discuss post-modernism or whatever you like. I think it's fine to do so, but I prefer the pop view. It's a painting that you instantly understand what is showing to you. Good show!

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Daniel Biulchi. He made this object that I remember looked a bit like it was made out of chocolate! It made you sick or hungry, or both things at the same time. I don't know what it was, man, but he sure got it right: strange and delicious!

This Contra A Partida Social Thing

Dear Agent Brown,
Please check this Contra A Partida Social thing. Maybe it's just democracy and humor, but we must be on the safe side here in Brazil.
Agent Green

hear HER!

- Really, man! You gotta see this! It's called The Sotopardo Experience, or something, and they made this video using The Velvet Underground's I Heard Her Call My Name! You know the song, and it's quite a ride in itself, but the video is so much fun, man! What a great shock! It's on Youtube, man! Go check it! I haven't been this jolted since Smack My Bitch Up showed up on Brazilian MTV late at night! Go check it NOW!
- Let me clean up your smelly macho manhole first!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 54)

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Dana: It. She fit this pendulum wall clock into this white rectangle box with earth and plants inside it! In fact, Dana's work was a pendulum wall clock without a face, so you couldn't tell when it was going to chime! And the pendulum moving behind the plants felt so deliciously weird! That was surely one great way to turn the battle between nature and culture into pop art! Very good one!

personal nose

- Shut up and chop it up, man!
- Hold it, man! I'm not saying you look sick or anything, but my nose is pretty personal about using someone else's straw, OK? And I don't want you to be worried about getting MY blood up you nose, either! Here's my titanium straw! Let's go!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 53)

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Daisy Xavier: Entre Telas, which means Between Screens, or Between Canvasses. I just remember it was this enticing red painting hanging from the wall right between my object and Claudio Montagna's collage. I don't think there was any obviously identifiable image to it, but it got to be part of the so-called pink room, along with us, because it had some erotic aura and/or pink shades to it. This room was quite possibly the reason we had to put up a sign at the door stating that some images were perhaps too strong to be viewed by children. As I remember it, there were also Luciana Duque's photographs of tools, Cristina Amiran's photos of us from the éramos 3 group biting some unidentified pink rectangles (which were actually dentist wax), Silvia D's Funk C print of a drawing showing a vietcong masochist, Heleno's pink open head photo, and Marcio Ramalho's wall object, or so I think is his name. Anyway, the object was brownish, and had some perfume I can't recall, and looked a bit like a mixture of a vagina and one of those pods from Invasion of The Body Snatchers. Unforgettable, I tell you. I think I've mentioned most of them before. Luciana's tools had some kind of subtle erotic terror to them, and Ramalho's pod needed no title to hit you right in the face and nostrils with all its might. I believe it didn't have any title, actually. And then there was Alberto Saraiva's paranoid surveillance coffee table in the middle of the room, just to add yet another punch to it. I'm glad I was part of that room, man!

And then she looks at you

And whispers with this soft girly voice:
Come to Daddy!

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Cristina de Pádula: Plano de Vôo, which means Flight Plan. I remember it was this high contrast photo, and maybe there was a bird in the image. I think it was all white and brown. I also think there were some words that said something to the effect that some unspecified THEY always returned to the nest, or something. Whatever it actually was, I remember it as sweet and menacing, and so it was a fine piece of art, for me!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 51)

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Cleone Augusto: Recôndito Azul, which means something like Blue Far-off Corner, for lack of better words. It was a scale model of an intended installation that was on a table, so you had it near your hips. I was feeling quite hip to the point, even if I got it completely wrong, from what would be her point of view. I never talked about her work with Cleone, except to say it was beautiful. There were these clay portals, I just hope she gets to build that Little Stonehenge of hers someday, somewhere in Rio.

tropical firearms

- Less than a week after that very peaceful rave at that spring waters hotel I told you about, I get up at 4:30 a.m., because I'm hearing gun shots from a nearby favela!
- Oh, I just hope that Rio doesn't go the way of Israel, for it would be so unoriginal! And you should never stand up amidst shooting firearms, dear! You might get hit!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 50)

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Cleantho Viana: Sloughing off. As I've mentioned before, this was great fun with terror overtones. As you approached the mansion to see the art show, you saw this white human-like thing lying down with brown giant "worms" coming out of it. What!? Just some bamboo, and maybe other materials, that Cleantho set up to give you a nice jolt! Good show!

Coming back for more

- I understand your boyfriend is dicking every guy in town, after he's got his penile implant! Don't you think it's a waste of cum that really belongs to you?
- Drink all you want of it, honey! All I want is him banging my ass for a good long time! And that keeps cumming to me!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 49)

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Claudio Montagna: Frankenstein. I loved this one! As I've mentioned before, it was a collage that formed an image of a naked man. I think it was life-sized. The body parts were formed by photos of those body parts taken from naked men's pictures. And the penis was a circle made of photographs of erect penises, like this beautiful sexy mandala! Fantastic!

First things first

- I feel a sudden urge to stick my tongue up your ass!
- Great! Just tongue-fuck my mouth first!

-Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Claudia Hersz: Arte, which means Art. People loved this installation! It was a small round mirror on the floor, with this big (six feet ten or something) stylized wooden ostrich looking at the mirror, instead of burying its head in the sand. No need to talk about this one, for me! It is simply brilliant!

It's a wonderful life!

Conformism is just the people playing dead while they hope you dictators die soon.

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 47)

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Clarisse Tarran: Me Desculpe, which means Forgive Me. That was a video installation inside a locked safe. The safe is as big as a small room, and you could see the video directly on the wall, through a locked barred door. The safe is located on the basement of the mansion, which added to the bleak atmosphere of it. On the video you saw a blindfolded woman, almost completely naked, moving inside the safe, where it was filmed. It looks like she is being tortured by sensorial deprivation, and I understand Clarisse herself played the woman, as an homage to her father, who was tortured and killed by a paramilitary group during the Military Rule in Brazil. I think she did a great job in conveying the horror and desperation of it all, without the use of graphic violence. Really good show!

- Posição 2004: your notes. Next?
- Chico Fernandes: Experiências Físicas no Parque, which means Physical Experiences in the Park. Those were some great photos of him interacting in apparently difficult or impossible ways with the architecture of the mansion. Some might want to write about the indirect message it sends about our media-shaped perception of reality. That's fine with me, but I mostly liked the photos because they are funny and beautiful.

drug using revolution

- Drug users should take over the planet, man! We're like over a billion! We should kill all cops and drug dealers and any soldier or sailor that doesn't do drugs! Then all drugs would be legal!
