- 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!

stone age

- It's on Google news UK! Ian Curtis's gravestone was stolen!
- I wish these guys would be happy wanking over photos!
- Oh, by the way, I've just dowloaded some new ones!
- Great! I'm coming over!
- All over, yeah!

- Tania Queiroz. No info, just photos. It was like this: descending the staircase to see the basement part of the art show, right after you turned left, there is this wall where the ceiling has an arch on the upper side of the wall. 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!

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 163)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Tânia Bonin. A photograph. 150 x 100 centimeters. No date. Title is Estranhas Entranhas, which means Strange Entrails. And it looks just like it. Like a close up photo of a small intestine or something that looks vaguely like one. Except it has silver colors on the upside of the picture, and purple ones on the lower half. Also, some stuff that looks like salt crystals. It feels like something alien and disgusting. I like it. Good show!

FARC trocam Betancourt por duas de 20

BOGOTA, 2 de julho de 2008 (EmoReuters) - Novas informações revelam que a senadora Íngrid Betancourt não foi resgatada, e sim trocada por duas gatinhas saradas. Comunicado das FARC diz que a separação foi amigável.

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- 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!

sex maniac education

- It's on Google News US! A woman from the Seattle area is accused of killing a pregnant stranger and cutting her live baby from her womb!
- See? None of this would have happened if she had been properly taught how to play doctor!

spoiling cleo

- Tell me everything about Cleópatra!
- You know Bressane and his style! Underground means you can be as rough and obscure as you want! I like this one! The Queen of Egypt sounds like a woman from Northeastern Brazil! She fingers Julius Caesar in the ass! You get to see naked men and women, and an orgy with Mark Antony! Two black slaves are tied and licked by the slave women of the Queen! Beautiful camerawork that frequently reminds you that you are watching a movie! Shifting between dead serious and violent stuff and grotesque scenes! Beautiful shapes and colors! It's weird and lovely!
- I'm coming!

human traffic

I was so drunk I peed on my pants while walking at Avenida Paulista. Any Paulista will tell you it is not wise to cross it while drunk. I remember her smile as we parted and she went inside the subway station. I don't remember crossing the lanes. I don't remember the cars. I just remember that I found myself on the other side, and was walking to my hotel. Then I remember peeing. It didn't change my walking, and my oversized trousers hid it. I reached my room, hung my trousers on the
chair, went to sleep on my shorts and t-shirt.

It really started because of this art show opening nearby. I got so drunk I called her on the phone. Said I knew she was working, but that the show was really great, and only a couple of blocks away from her. She said OK, she would try and show up. Then I drank so much I just showed up at her building. She was very nice about my unproper euphoria. We went to the show, then I left her at the subway. She looked happy.

In the morning, I remembered I had no extra trousers. I was lucky: the weather was too cold for anyone to smell my piss. I just put my clothes on and took the first plane home. She didn't love me anymore, and it was fine.

fine young troglobicha

- I am a troglobicha, you know? Troglofaggot would be a translation!
- You seem groomed enough not to be called a caveman, really!
- But the troglodyte thing is positive, here! Like the Good Savage!
- That is Romantic Nonsense, my dear!
- Which is very queer, indeed, I'm sure you agree!
- Oh, you are a most agreeable man!

undercover of the night

- You should always have large amounts of money on you! This way, people will think you are a criminal!
- But we are supposed to be unnoticed!
- That's where your smile gets into the picture! If you never show off any weapons, and manage to have a smile that looks really relaxed, you're just another peaceful criminal, and no one cares. And the ones that do, you know are probably your targets.
So let me see that beautiful smile of yours shine!

I like them small

I like them small
The money bills
Small in value
Big in numbers
It feels so real

And in order
To fulfill my dream
I stand in line
At the teller machine

Should my dick fail to rise

Should my dick fail to rise
I will use my fingers and tongue
Humming up your ass
Will be my favorite song

confessions on a dance floor

- Ian Curtis was the Bob Dylan of dancing, man! After hearing Dylan, many were sure they could sing, even me! And when I saw Curtis dancing, I knew right away that I could dance and be a frontman, too!
- OK! OK! Now, shut up and let ME dance!

when the saints go marching in

- Haven't you got anything to say about the two Brazilian Army sergeants that came out as a gay couple, and are currently under arrest for violations of the military codes, in what appears, for some observers, to be an act of veiled homophoby?
- God be with them! They are putting themselves through some very hard situations and, in doing so, are helping this world to be freer and happier! They are also kinda cute!

- I met Silvia D., and lent her the CD with the image of her work. She does not have it, and will try to open it up. She did have two unsigned prints of it, one of which was the one used at the show. She gave me the other one. I was surprised to see it is actually an A3 size paper. She does not remember what paper was used for the prints. And she said she used a version of CorelDRAW that is old nowadays. But her boyfriend will try and open the files, so that she can send me any written file they find. And also: The masochistic viet cong is only a scene in a group of graphically erotic ones. It just got stuck on my mind because it is by far the most unexpected. Good show!

PORTRAIT OF LILI ELBE

black penis

I remember it: a photo of a naked black man, caressing the outside of his thighs. The speech balloon reads: The Emperor was right! These clothes feel as smooth as silk! That's the left photo. On the right, a close up of an erect black penis. It could be a life-size image. The speech balloon reads: Call me Dick! I don't remember the photo below these two.

Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 160)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Sandra Schechtman. Couldn't open the image, but I've already described it for you. Here's the technical info: It has 150 x 300 centimeters. Photos printed on canvas. Shadows of people over beautiful white and red crosswalks. Lying on the floor like a carpet. I thought it was printed on plastic. That's how I remembered it before reading the info. Anyway, the date is 2004, and the title is Entre Linhas, which means Between Lines. As I said before: a magic carpet! Good show!
- OK. Next?
- Sonia Meilman. As I've told you, she showed this two beautiful high contrast photos of roofs against sky. It basically splits the image in two fields, black and white, with the white on the upper side. They are shown as a diptych. 46 x 140 centimeters. Photos mounted on PVC. Date is 2003. Title is Melodia Concreta, which means Concrete Melody. The jagged lines remind me of Clyfford Still, and I like it. Good show!
- OK. Next?
- Sara Ramo. Another diptych with two color photos of a bathroom. The first shows it on a tidy state. The second has cleaning and beauty products and other stuff displaced, mostly standing on the floor, like they had created life and decided to change their places. Each photo measures 50 x 70 centimeters. As I remember them, it is probably photos mounted on PVC. Date is 2002-2004. Tilte is Como Aprender o Que Acontece na Normalidade das Coisas, which means How to Learn What Happens in the Normality of Things. Surreal Pop, for me, and I like it! Good show!
- OK. Next?
- Silvia D. I Couldn't open the files on her CD. As I've told you, it's a wildly humorous drawing of a masochistic viet cong. Probably a Paintbrush drawing printed on regular PC printer photographic paper, A4 size, and it was on its side, like a marine painting. Beautiful colors. Good show!

- I saw Speed Racer, and the movie is a great adaptation of the feeling of the japanese animation from 1967! It's futuristic delirious and over the top, and the bad guys are maniacs, and Speed is like a hero that is mad about racing cars. He goes for the overdrive and races like crazy!
- A real go-go-go boy!

Eu sou um cara que é pela legalização do casamento pansexual entre qualquer número de pessoas que
concordem em se juntar em grupos de dois ou mais. E pelo respeito aos solteiros convictos.

Eu sou pela legalização do uso divertido de remédios, e de drogas atualmente ilegais. Se eu posso
beber o meu whisky, os outros devem poder usar o que gostam. E pelo respeito aos caretas.

Eu sou pelo porte de arma geral, pra quem quiser, a não ser que a pessoa tenha uma ficha criminal
e/ou psiquiátrica muito muito muito preocupante. E pelo respeito aos pacifistas.

Eu sou pelo capitalismo domesticado, onde quem não tem competência pra nada é sustentado pelo
Estado. E pelo respeito aos viciados em trabalho.

Eu sou pelo humor, mesmo que cruel, sem censura. E quem se ofender, que mude de canal.

the people in the band have easy access to

further investigation revealed that the name of the band in question is Rivotrados, which is a play on the name of a medication called Rivotril, as well as the word revoltados, which means rebelling people. Rivotril (or Rivatril) is Klonopin, and all three are market names for the anticonvulsant and anxiolytic drug Clonazepam. Our undercover operative found out that the people in the band have easy access to illegal drugs, but appear to prefer hard liquor and coffee.

- It's a good deed, for sure! He's in remission from cancer, travelling to give away supplies for the poor, and sharing his faith!
- There's a better one: in my planet there is this guy who's doing the same thing, but does not talk about faith. Only if directly asked, and then only naming the website of his religion!
- Freakylicious!

- Roselane Pessoa, who painted the translucent glass doors of the toilet stalls of the female bathroom, which was open to anyone during the art show. I remember it as rhythmic calligraphic stuff, like minimalist music by Steve Reich, or Phillip Glass.
Beautiful and a bit disturbing, because of the fact that you had to go in and sit down, if you wanted a closer look. Some info: Título (Title): “para quem está sentado”
("for one who is seated"); Técnica (Technique): desenho sobre vidro (drawing on glass); Dimensões (Dimensions): 2,40 cm. largura (length); 1,88 cm. altura (heigth).
It was sober and funny at the same time. Good show!

- So, can You tell me what the hell is this Scalavrera thing?
- It appears to be the name of a Brazilian Boutique, Sir!

no more puddles

- No more puddles after the rain! And it was ME who solved it! I just walk the city in the middle of the night, with my map box. It uses GPS and data banks to help me avoid perforating data tubes and other important stuff underground! So I just open a small hole directly into a sewer, and there goes the puddle created by bad street design!
- Lady Footanari will see you now!

magnifying glass love

It is a blue ballpoint pen drawing of a squatting naked man. He is sitting on the handle of a magnifying glass, so that it penetrates his anus. He looks ecstatic, and the speech balloon reads I LOVE YOU, SHERLOCK!
Below the image, there is a satirically modified version of a line from the Brazilian National Anthem: VERÁS QUE UM FILHO TEU NÃO FODE A LUPA, that means YOU WILL SEE THAT A SON OF YOURS DOES NOT FUCK A MAGNIFYING GLASS.
