In My Dreams I Am A Great Artist
I remember you asked me about my art, that you found a little difficult to understand. My answer sounded like a joke, and you thought better to laugh and let go. Truth is:
1. At a level that some people take seriously, I paint and draw over blank canvas and paper, producing images. Some examples were at my show in Sampa, last May and June;
2. At a level that less people take seriously, I also draw on paper that is not blank, producing drawings over photos and printed stuff, most of which I give to people I don't know, over the mail. I call this Expo Free Sample, and you and Odyr
have already seen some examples;
3. At a level that even less people take seriously, I produce videos like Planetary Agency For The Irradiation of Booze, and do that performance in which I drink and give away booze in the name of science. And I say I'm doing a 24 hour performance called In My Dreams I Am A Great Artist, in which I work during the day, paint and draw at night, and dream when I sleep.
What does it all mean? I don't know if it has much meaning, but I believe it is serious and hilarious, like this text here.
Lembro que você me perguntou sobre a minha arte, que achou meio difícil de entender.
Minha resposta pareceu uma piada, e você achou melhor rir e deixar pra lá. Mas a
real é o seguinte:
1. Num nível que algumas pessoas levam a sério, eu pinto e desenho sobre telas e
papel em branco, produzindo imagens. Alguns exemplos estavam na minha exposição
em Sampa, em maio e junho deste ano;
2. Num nível que menos gente leva a sério, desenho também sobre folhas que não
estavam em branco, produzindo desenhos sobre fotografias e impressos, a maioria
dos quais dou de presente para pessoas desconhecidas, pelo correio. Chamo isso de
Expo Free Sample (Exposição Amostra Grátis), e você e o Odyr já viram exemplos;
3. Num nível que ainda menos gente leva a sério, produzo vídeos como o Planetary
Agency For The Irradiation of Booze, e faço a tal performance de beber e distribuir
birita em nome da ciência. E digo que faço uma performance 24 horas chamada
Em Meus Sonhos Sou Um Grande Artista, na qual trabalho de dia, desenho e pinto
de noite, e sonho quando durmo.
O que significa tudo isso? Não sei se tem muito significado, mas acredito que seja
sério e hilário, assim como esse texto aqui.

A Geração 2000 contra o caos total (parte 3)
- OK, quando é que foi esse lance de Posição 2004?
- A noite de escancaração foi no dia 14 de julho de 2004!
- Noite de escancaração?
- Sim, foi uma NOITE DE ABERTURA ESCANCARADA, cara! Não era esse o nome oficial nem a intenção, mas eu ouvi dizer que o diretor da Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage teve que gritar pra ser ouvido quando foi forçado a intervir e dizer pras pessoas baixarem o raio do volume até bem baixo mesmo ou o Hotel do Clube Militar,do outro lado da rua, ia chamar a polícia pra garantir o silêncio! Eu já tava em casa, mas me disseram que a coisa tava virando um happening de percussão doida ou algo assim! As pessoas tavam quase pegando santo ou sei lá o quê! Maior porralouquice, cara!

back with Iraq
- It's on Main Page Wikipedia! The International Olympic Committee has lift the ban imposed on Iraq, so they will be at the 2008 Summer Olympics!
- I am so glad! You know that the Summer Olympics is always sexier if you have Iraq!
- I am so glad! You know that the Summer Olympics is always sexier if you have Iraq!
A Geração 2000 contra o caos total (parte 2)
- Como começou?
- Cinco pessoas estavam estudando no Parque Lage no final de 2003: Ana Sarmento, Cristina Amiran, Gê Pinheiro, Khalil Charif, e Marcelo Moraes. Eles já tinham participado de uma exposição coletiva naquele ano, chamada Cada Um Dois: original ou cópia. Aí eles tiveram essa idéia de fazer uma exposição que mapeasse a nova geração da arte. 2004 era o aniversário de 20 anos da exposição Como Vai Você Geração 80, e logo que eles levaram a idéia pros seus professores e o Diretor da escola, a coisa ficou gigante!
- Como foi isso?
- Eu não sei, mas eles saíram pedindo pras pessoas indicarem artistas, e acabaram sendo mais de 140, ou algo assim! Em número de participantes, foi a maior que já aconteceu lá! E as três mil pessoas aparecendo na abertura! Alguns trabalhos quase foram esmagados pela multidão bêbada! Engarrafamento de seres humanos, cara! O nome da coisa foi POSIÇÃO 2004! Eventualmente, acabou virando uma ação coletiva de cinco dias SEM CURADORES! Os artistas foram simplesmente informados de que mostrariam o que quisessem! Ninguém ia dizer pra eles qual parte do seu trabalho era "a melhor" ou algo assim! Com alguma limitação de espaço, foi uma loucura total! Teve até uma impressão de uma bunda feita diretamente na parede da galeria do subsolo, com tinta acrílica preta ou sei lá o quê! Em outra parte, um velho e diminuto grafite dizia, apontando para um pequeno X: Não tem arte aqui! Foi tipo um clímax numa falha
do tempo entre dois momentos bem não-lineares na história do Rio: antes e depois daqueles Cinco Dias Totalmente Incompreensíveis [no original: Full Unfathomable Five Days, uma brincadeira que remete ao título de um quadro de Jackson Pollock: Full Fathom Five]! Eram uns caras tentando surfar o caos da Guerra ao Terror, como um mestre Zen tentando mudar o mundo fazendo nada nesse sentido!
- Garçom! Eu quero o mesmo drink que esse cara tá bebendo! Dose dupla!

A Geração 2000 contra o caos total
- Três MIL pessoas estiveram no Parque Lage naquela noite, cara! Eu nunca vi uma coisa dessas!
- Isso foi em 2004! Você está vivendo no passado!
- Não, cara! Isso tá aqui hoje! Aquilo não foi uma festa de techno alugando o espaço!
As pessoas estavam lá pra uma ABERTURA DE EXPOSIÇÃO! Três mil pessoas! Eu não sei se as pessoas falam disso ou não, mas alguma coisa mudou! Minha vida mudou, com certeza!
- OK, vamos falar sobre isso! Por onde começamos?
- Com os segredos! Será que algum dia vamos saber a bunda de quem foi usada como um carimbo vivo pra fazer aquela impresão anônima na parede da galeria do subsolo? E como foi que ninguém morreu pulando de cabeça na parte funda da piscina vazia? As pessoas tavam fora de si, mas ninguém foi parar no hospital! Eu realmente acho que alguém devia escrever um livro sobre esse grupo de artistas no meio de uma guerra internacional, tentando achar um sentido nesse planeta doido! Tipo tentando descobrir quanto caos ainda é bom pra gente! O nome do livro devia ser A GERAÇÃO 2000 CONTRA O CAOS TOTAL!

truth lies
- Fuck this Truth crap! I've read somewhere that Amy Winhouse was photographed with self-inflicted razor cuts on her arms. How do they know that from the images? They DON'T. They have had to ASK her, and she was fool enough to TELL THE TRUTH. Well, I guess she shouldn't. This is one case where she should have lied in order for the subject to be left alone!
- I don't know anything about this story! The truth for me is: you've been wanking me for quite some time now, and I MUST ASK YOU: where do you want my cum? And please be truthful in your answeeeEEEEER!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 176)
- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- That was all I had to add.
- OK. Any message for the participants?
- Just a great big THANK YOU! And I'm sorry for any errors and omissions. I tried my best to give you a good picture of what the art show was like, using my memory and the info I had access to. I also want to wish all of them a long and very happy life.
- Thank you. Do you know anyone who could translate all this to Portuguese for us?
- Just give me enough Johnnie Walker Green Label, and I'll do it!

the way around the dry law
- What can I do about the Dry Law on driving in Brazil?
- That's easy! Always drink orange juice, or coffee, or whatever picks you up. All day long. Drink vodka, and always have some chewing gum to chew on right after drinking.
- That' all?
- One more thing: never drive again, EVER!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 175)
- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Daniela Fortes. Idiossincrasias, which means Idiosyncrasies. The written info says they are numbered from 1 to 3, and the date is 2004. Pencil on paper. Idiosyncrasies 1 measures 29.7 x 42 centimeters. Idiosyncrasies 2 measures 29.7 x 21 centimeters. Idiosyncrasies 3 measures 21 x 29.7 centimeters. As I said before, it was a bit like Graffiti Art done on pencil over white paper, and I like it. Good show!
- OK. Next?
- Júlio Rodrigues. That machine with the three-colored tape that gets captured by a small camera and shown on a TV screen with a short delay. His text reminds us this is a machine that is able to look at itself, showing its inner colors in a cycle of self-reference. So that's another way to see it, and I like it. Good show!
- OK. Next?
- Regina Marconi. Espelhos, which means Mirrors. Mixed media over stickers over cardboard, her text says. Date is 2004. 10 x 3,400 cm. It was installed on the risers of the entrance stairway to the art show. Frankly, I think it was one of the good ideas that got a little lost in the bigger picture. For instance, it went unnoticed amidst the huge mass of people going up and down the staircase, during the opening night. Was it a text? Was it a chopped up mirror? I don't have the CD, so I haven't seen the photos. She mentions that the CD is the original from Wilton Montenegro, the photographer, and that she needs it back, so I guess Wilton has it. Espelhos can also mean Risers in Portuguese, so I guess it was the mirror thing. I just remember there was something there. Good show!
- OK. Next?
- Tania Queiroz. The printed info says the date is 2004. The reinforcing bars are of 1 inch diameter. The title is Mantenha Distância (Vergalhão), which means Keep Your Distance (Reinforcing Bar). It also says the photos are by Luciano Mattos Bogado. As I said before, it was silent architectural menace, and I like it. Good show!
- OK. Next?
- Rosa Oliveira. That painting that looks like a test pattern card for a TV station that only shows shades of blue, gray and black. Her written note says the date is 2004, and that it is from the Brise-Soleil series. 120 x 210 centimeters, acrylic on canvas. Good show!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 174)
- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Ana Torres. Série Janelas I, which means Windows Series I. Her texts explain that it was a 3 x 9 meters billboard somewhere in the city, combined with a display at the art show, with graphic material (free postcards, as I remember it) that showed information about the location of the "instauração" (as she called it). That would mean "instauration" in english, but I am not sure that the word exists. It comes from the verb instaurar, which means to establish or set up. What's on the billboard? The printed photo shows that it was a photograph without any text. You wouldn't know from it alone that the billboard was part of an art show. The photo looks like it was taken from inside a train. You see a city below, with a car driving along an avenue lined with trees, and buildings on the background. The sky looks blueish white and, to the right, you see a building closer to you that seems to be under construction, with what looks like an airplane being part of its roof. Her text says that the image is being constantly rephotographed, as it is set up in different urban environs, so that it contains a record of all its previous exhibitions. She also says that the idea is to keep this transformation and geographic movement until the image goes back in a different way to the streets of Berlin, where it came from. I still don't know what is the theme here, but I think it is beautiful and strange enough for me, and I like it. Good show!

- What do you think about the movie The Great Global Warming Swindle?
- Haven't seen it yet. In fact, I only found out about it a couple of minutes ago, in Google News Ireland! And because it was being challenged for not being impartial
at its last part! And it was shown on TV in the UK more than an year ago! How come we never heard of it in Rio? I understand lots of people think it is nonsense. Well, they should show it all around the world, anyway, and let ME and YOU decide, right?
They could add a tag before the first image, saying how their official opinion is that it is rubbish! I think it is OK to show rubbish on TV!
- You feeling warm? All this talk is making me SO hot!

Also, her name is written WITHOUT an acute accent, which is different from the way it is written everywhere else.
- OK. Next?
- Ana Angélica. Her label reads Ana Angélica Costa. It says the name of the work is Jacarepaguá, from the Windows Series (Série Janelas). 60 x 230 centimeters. Dated 2003. The beautiful pinhole images I've told you about.
- OK. Next?
- Daniel Biulchi. Casulo, which means Cocoon. Materials: wire, wax, wood and plastic dolls. 2002, 170 x 45 x 45 centimeters. That nice weird object that looked like it was made of chocolate.

- Yes! I've found some CDs among the printed matter. For instance: Andréa Facchini. It does not mention the date, but says it is acrylic on canvas, and a triptych with 100 x 220 centimeters in size. The image shows it was not a mountain, but rather a rocky plain of mixed colorful pieces of fabric, viewed up close. Good show!

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Zelia Villar. No written info. Photos show an object hanging from the ceiling. It is an iron hoop that resembles the ones used in barrels. The metal is yellowish, so it could be some other metal. In the middle of the circle it draws there is a circular mirror, like a small iris in the middle of an impossibly wide eyeball. It is not an exact circle. Its shape actually resembles a full moon starting to get covered by a shadow. The title is Invensão, which means Invention. But it is a misspelling of the word invenção. São means saint. It also is a plural of the verb to be, for the pronoun They. This can lead to lots of interpretations, but I'm fine with the fact that it is a beautiful object. Good show!

- Use your brain, man! We are two sissies that want some cock, but we are alone here! We don't mind each other's sissy skin and kiss! Get your dildo and let's follow the lead of those smart bisexual lesbians!

killed her longtime
- Shit, man! I saw this murder news on one of the Rio tabloids in a newsstand today, and it said this lesbian killed her longtime woman because of her cheating! What the fuck? Couldn't she simply leave the woman?

It looks like one of the huge rocks we see in Rio de Janeiro, at sunrise. It really is a fried piece of beef, when we look closer. And the sky, the artist tells us in the text, is blood over a dish. Great stuff! It looks like Rio as the wilderness around us and the city, and then you get closer, and it looks like the wilderness inside all of us! Good show!

- TVZona, which means Mess or Chaos TV. They occupied the empty pool on the 15th of July 2004. Performances, poetry reading, boozing and stuff. The CD has a photo montage made by Aimberê Cesar, that he calls Multiple Prisms of TVZona at Piscinão do Lage - 15.jul.2004 (Múltiplos Prismas do TVZona no Piscinão do Lage – 15.jul.2004). The photo is divided in four panels, with a fifth right in the middle. I can't identify most people, as the images are a bit blurred and of large groups seen from a few meters. You see people in and around the empty pool. Inside the pool, you see a camping tent, a table with a red tablecloth, a microphone, amplifiers, an ironing board, a cord with atworks on paper hanging from it, a traffic cone, a public orange trashcan, among other objects that made it look a bit like an outdoor house environment. At the upper right corner, the last person, wearing a white t-shirt, seems to be Guga Ferraz, and the first one to his left, in a black t-shirt, looks like Aimberê Cesar. At the lower right corner, we see someone that looks like Cleantho Viana talking to a couple that are probably Khalil Charif and Margarete. The CD also
has two texts that indicate that the photos that Aimberê Cesar used to make the image mix were taken by:
Claudia Hersz
Isabela Marinho
Isabela Ribeiro
Yoav Passy
They also give a list of the participants:
• Aimberê Cesar

Nice Ocupation Piece! In a way, it foreshadowed the Associados piece, when we occupied a house owned by the family of our friend Ricardo Ventura, in Botafogo, for about two or three months, in 2007. So that was TVZona: borderline madness! Good show!

And I really LIKE my dick, but I wouldn't mind having tits and looking like a woman with a pecker, but I am too LAZY and COWARD to do this kind of transformation! So I gotta laugh, man! So my books gotta be humorous, 'cause that's how I see my life! It is a big joke, and I thank the gods for that, REALLY, 'cause looking like a regular het has probably saved me the trouble of many street fights! Have you ever been in a street fight?
- Not as an adult.

I mean: the three of them together looked almost as big as a soccer ball! He cannot have sex with it! Not even oral sex! He cannot take a piss standing up, because it will spray all over! He says he likes it like that! He is beyond sex, I guess! One of the freakiest celibates in the planet, man! And he is so open about it he showed it on camera! He looked very happy to be displaying his goods!
- I saw it, too! He's a BIG show-off, and I like it, man!

Jogava duas no ar, e as que caíssem com a cara pra cima continuavam vivas. Com os lençóis eu fazia vales e montes.
- Oh, give it to me!

Jupiter and beyond the infinite
- So, how was the Altman Marathon at Odeon?
- Great! The Long Goodbye is like a softcore comedy, except that it really is a private eye drama, so you get to see some mean guys doing mean stuff. MASH is like a softcore comedy, too, but it happens in the Korean War, and the heroes are surgeons, so you get to see some unpleasant jokes going on during surgery, with gory details you see even bigger on the big screen. And Brewster McCloud is also like a softcore comedy, only it is a rather spaced out and freaky one. Legend goes that Donald Sutherland was the only person not doing drugs during the filming of MASH. Brewster McCloud was Altman's next movie, and much crazier than MASH, I tell you. Maybe weirder is the word. Anyway, it was great fun, plus that lovely strange feeling of going outside the movie theater afterwards and noticing it's daytime, already. And the crowd is almost as weird! Nice talking to them! The DJ playing inbetween the movies is pretty good, too, but I was too full of caffeine to do anything but walk and talk like I meant it!

- Tomás Ribas. Vitral nº3, which means Stained Glass Number 3, dated May 2004. An installation with a fish bowl, with japanese fish, standing on an overhead projector, so that an image of it was projected on the wall of the small darkened room where it was located. I say japanese fish because that is the literal translation of the words he used: peixes japoneses. I don't know much about fish. These ones looked like goldfish to me. Anyway, the main thing is that the image projected was a circle, like a circular window on the wall. White light, and shadows of fish flowing by from time to time. Plato's Cave. Ghost fish. The view from inside a sunken ship. Divine beings worshipped by fish. Whatever he means, it was a shining hit. Good show!

Mandado calar a boca, pegou a bola de futebol, que era sua, e tirou o time de campo.

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Tereza Costa. No info, just photos. She painted on transparent glass, using her body as a rubber stamp. The photos are in black and white, but I believe the color she used was greyish blue. They were images protuding from the walls of the basement gallery. They look about A4 in size. They show parts of her: her thumb digital, one foot imprinted from its side, same thing with one hand, same thing with the side of one of her breasts (actually imprinting along part of her torso and shoulder), one of the side of her face and her hair, and one of her leg. The individual photo of this last one does not open, but the images of the installation indicate it was an imprint that included the front side of her upper leg and her underbelly on the imprint. That means imprinting her pubic hair, too. These six images were protuding from the walls, and would have been crushed if the mob upstairs came down to see the basement. I don't know what happened, but they didn't show up all at once, and I am very grateful! The installation was complete with another transparent glass mounted on a wood pedestal painted white, right in the middle of the hallway that is the basement gallery. It was the same thing: a blue inprint on transparent glass. Only it was bigger, for it was a front image of her torso, or so I think. And it was painted around the imprint. In the photo, it looks like something influenced by Jean Dubuffet and Yves Klein. In the end, it looked sexy, and menacing, and eerie, and primitive. Like going downstairs was getting the chance to be dazed and confused by some ancient mystery turned into glass and light monument. Good show!

It echoes the arch you see downstairs, where the door to the basement is. There is a lamp below the upper arch, and the artist put some sixteen reinforcing bars, like the ones used in reinforced concrete, protuding from the wall above the door. They were too short to present any real danger. But you just had to notice them against the white wall. Silent architectural menace. Good show!

Also, some stuff that looks like salt crystals. It feels like something alien and disgusting. I like it. Good show!

- Sueli Araujo. It's untitled, and the date is 2003. Basically, what she did was crumpling a lot of white paper sheets and building a floor installation that looks like a white mattress. Rice paper, I think it was. She asked people to participate in the paper crumpling, before the opening of the show. I believe she had to fix it on the day after, because some of it was stepped on when the crowd got too thick. Anyway, it's just like rock and roll or techno: beautiful repetition that looks easier to do than it really is. Good show!
