Nicolo Nelli, Venice, XVI Century

This incredible print entitled "The World Upside Down" by Nelli done in Venice sometime in the XVI Century, precedes deconstructionism with almost half a millennium, and it's doing it in a pure visual medium as well! The pig (boar) is here as well, chasing along with 3 fellow rabbits some hunting dogs, but more interesting, I think, is the donkey who is baptizing a man. So what we look at is quite a courageous and politically engaged piece of art work! This image, and the one bellow, argue that the images of Pigs and Donkeys have a long lasting tradition in European critical artistic discourse!

Portretul teologului catolic Johannes Eck

O imagine dintr-un pamflet semnat de Luter: Papa Leon inconjurat de teologii sai, dintre care, unul, prof. Eck, cel reprezentat cu chip de godac antropomorf, a fost oponentul lui Luter in renumita discutie teologica din Lipsk, din vara lui 1519. In acest pamflet Luter relateaza discutia respectiva asa cum si-o amintea el sau cum a vrut sa si-o aminteasca. In aceasta carticica, scrie Jarosłąw Krysik (in revista Polityka, nr. 53/53, 12.2011-01.2012), Luter afirma ca a iesit castigator din dezbaterea respectiva, concomitent facand haz dar si criticand stiinta teologilor papali. Alaturi, o caricatura a lui Luter, tiparita intr-un pamflet catolic. E curios ca dracul catolic nu are rat, asa precum au multi dracii ortodoxsi.

The artistic collaboration between SymbioticA founding members Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr known as Tissue Culture and Art Project, will exhibit in the forthcoming Art & Science group show, at the GV Art Gallery in London. SymbioticA, the Centre of Excellence in Biological Art situated in UWA's Anatomy and Human Biology School was established in 2000 by cell biologist Professor Miranda Grounds, neuroscientist Professor Stuart Bunt and artist Oron Catts. Catts and Zurr join artists Susan Aldworth, David Angheleddu, Andrew Carnie, Annie Cattrell, Katharine Dowson, Helen Pynor, David Marron, Nina Sellars, Stelarc & Ken + Julia Yonetani. From the GV Art press release: Science is changing our world and our lives at an ever increasing rate. But today artists are bringing science out of the laboratory. Once art and science seemed diametrically opposite; but these days some of the most innovative artists are fusing art and science to create a brand new art movement inspired by science. Striving to visualise the invisible and what it must mean to be human in the future, they create images and objects of stunning beauty, redefining the notion of aesthetic and of what is meant by art. These days the term ‘art and science' is on everyone's lips - but no one quite knows what it is or where it is going. Does it mark the rise of a new culture in which science and technology will be the driving forces and will even perhaps determine the future of culture? Are there similarities in the creative processes of artists and scientists? Can science benefit from art? Can considering these questions bring us any closer to understanding creativity? This exhibition is a step towards exploring these key issues of the 21st century.

Sherlock - a BBC series - by Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat

I've seen only two episodes (from the first season). Quite engaging and spectacular. Fairly good entertaining. First episode (probably the pilot) more than the second. However, the second had this wonderful graffiti in it. (Broadcasted on BBC mind you!) So, obviously, I liked it more ;)

The characters talk a little too fast for me (not a native English speaker) and the whole tempo of the movie is a little too quick, which of course makes it a more intense experience, but also makes the viewer feel a little confused (like an "idiot", to cite the new reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes) but also worry about the plot's imperfections, abrupt "gaps" and "jumps". To give just an example: Sherlock notices an inscription on a watch, that he sees for a few seconds, but he doesn't notice for hours a a couple of crucial handwritten words on a big piece of paper on the table in front of him. I don't remember anymore the original story, but I always though that the original Sherlock was the kind of guy concerned above all with people' lives. He would always hurry and try to save them from the killer. Here, Sherlock is more about fighting with the enemy and less about preventing further homicides. Also, Dr. Watson killed a person in both episodes. Saving lives both times, nevertheless this makes him a serial killer too.

In Viena the images of pigs are somehow simplified

in one image i found (a lotto advert) the pigs couple have only one eye each, in the other (a diptych authored by Luntisten group: Franka Rothaug, Felicitas Grabner and Lunt Hund) there is only one nostril in the snout

the girl that tatooed the word "pig"

and another interesting detail from this blockbuster. I am curios if it appears in the book as well...? Does anybody know?

expozitie din seria kakaArt in fata Procuraturii Generale de ziua Procurorului

Tradițional, de ziua lucrătorului din Procuratură, celebrul Anatol Mătăsaru a venit în fața sediului Procurarturii Generale, pentru a-i felicita pe procurori. Ca și anul trecut, oamenii legii l-au inspirat pe Mătăsaru la o „creație din fecale”. Mătăsaru a protestat astfel față de activitatea corpului procurorilor, dar și judecătoresc, exprimându-și nemulțumirea că dosarul 7 aprilie nu a fost dus până la capăt, iar polițiștii torționari au scăpat de pedeapsă.

Mătăsaru a prezentat pe scările Procuraturii o întreagă expoziție insiprată, cum spune el, din curentul „Caca-Art” dar și o compoziție „sado-mazo” din păpuși gonflabile, care reprezintă, în opinia lui, situația din sistemul judecătoresc. Femida, „o fată rea, cu un comportament ușuratic”, îl torturează pe cetățeanul simplu, iar alături este omul legii, o combinație dintre ființă umană și măgar.

Printre exponatele prezentate am putut găsi „Organele și afacerile interne din cadrul MAI” - un mulaj al intestinelor mâncate de viermi, „Vanika-Vstanika”(președintele CSJ, Ion Muruianu) - un mulaj ce imită mase fecale, care nu-și pierde echilibrul, „Raslabon” - un mulaj de fecale în scaun, care îl reprezintă pe judecătorul Dorin Popovici în „celebra” sa fotografie, „ExcreMENT comunist” și multe altele. Mai apoape de ușa sediului PG, Mătăsaru a pus un sicriu cu inscripția „organele de drept”, care, potrivit lui, simbolizează că justiția în Moldova este moartă.

UNIMEDIA amintește că anul trecut, Anatol Mătăsaru s-a prezentat în fața sediului PG din Capitală, purtând o mască de porc, animal, care în opinia lui, îi reprezintă pe „Porcurorii corupți”. Bărbatul a adus și un mulaj de excremente fecale, pe care l-a numit „keks”. Pentru acest „cadou”, Mătăsaru a fost amendat cu 900 de lei - polițiștii au catalogat gestul bărbatului drept huliganism.

Pig Business - proiectie si dezbatere cu realizatoarea Tracy Worcester

În perioada 31 ianuarie – 3 februarie 2012, Marchiza Tracy Worcester va face o vizită în Bucureşti, pentru promovarea filmului său documentar, „Pig Business / Afacerile cu porci”. Documentarul, filmat parţial şi în România, descrie traseul realizatoarei britanice pe urmele corporatiilor producătoare de carne de porc şi arată efectele distructive ale acestei expansiuni: falimentarea micilor producători, poluarea intensă şi tratamentele brutale la care sunt supuse animalele pentru creşterea rapidă a productivităţii. Mesajul filmului se concentrează pe identificarea alternativelor sustenabile pe care consumatorii le au la dispoziţie. Realizatoarea va fi prezentă pe data de 2 februarie, între orele 16.00 – 18.00 la Clubul Ţăranului din Bucureşti (Intrarea Monetăriei nr. 3) pentru a-şi prezenta filmul publicului larg. Vizionarea filmului va fi urmată de o dezbatere cu realizatoarea. Intrarea este liberă. Filmul Pig Business a fost vizionat peste tot pe glob în locuri ca: Parlamentul Marii Britanii, Camera Comunelor în 2010, Summitul ONG-urilor din Washington și Bruxelles, Parlamentul European, Capitol Hill - Washington, dar și la televiziuni din Marea Britanie, Italia, Portugalia, Japonia, Israel, America de Sud, Canada și Elveția. În România documentarul a fost prezentat în premieră la Festivalul de Film Documentar Astra Film Fest de la Sibiu (25-30 octombrie 2011), unde realizatoarea Tracy Worcester a primit Premiul de Excelenţă pentru regizori femei care luptă pentru viitorul planetei.

arta contrafacerii de bunuri alimentare/the foodfakingart

This time the pig-mask is covering the head of... probably a dog. Unfortunately, I found only half of the article in a paper recycle bin basket, so I don't know neither the author of this drawing, neither why such an illustration came together with this article. In the available fragment of the

text, although there is something about how to renew an old and stinky piece of ham, there doesn't seem to be anything that would explain such an image. Of course, one can hear once in a while about dog's meat sold as porc, so it might be an already existing cultural image. Is it that or, there is some kind of direct allusion in the missing part of the text. Now it is still a mastery. I only know that the article was published in Fakty i mity, nr 51/52 (616/617), 23.XII.2011- 4.I.2012.

P.I.G.S. by Claire Fontaine

Finally I got my explanation to a post published a year or so ago on this blog, a caricature of a pig on which was written "Greece". It came from a (group of) artists - Claire Fontaine, and art critic Ecaterina Degot, and not from the magazine who published that caricature. For those of you who still wonder about it, here is the explanation: P.I.G.S is the acronym for the 4 EU countries deeply indebted to EU. P stands for Portugal, I - Italy, G - Greece, S - Spain. Claire Fontaine showed a work entitled P.I.G.S at the recent Moscow Biennale. It was an installation made out of matches closely thrust to a wall in fairly large shapes of these 4 countries' geographical maps. The matches were lately burned. (Perhaps, in an attempt to get rid of the problem, but also it is an indicator to a great explosive potential in these territories.) Interestingly, it was one of the most problematic works presented in Moscow. Apparently, it was very difficult and time consuming to build. See the middle video below... (The explanation is made in Russian.) Claire Fontaine is a Paris-based collective artist, founded in 2004. After lifting her name from a popular brand of school notebooks, Claire Fontaine declared herself a "readymade artist" and began to elaborate a version of neo-conceptual art that often looks like other people's work. Working in neon, video, sculpture, painting and text, her practice can be described as an ongoing interrogation of the political impotence and the crisis of singularity that seem to define contemporary art today. But if the artist herself is the subjective equivalent of a urinal or a Brillo box - as displaced, deprived of its use value, and exchangeable as the products she makes - there is always the possibility of what she calls the "human strike." Claire Fontaine uses her freshness and youth to make herself a whatever-singularity and an existential terrorist in search of subjective emancipation. She grows up among the ruins of the notion of authorship, experimenting with collective protocols of production, détournements, and the production of various devices for the sharing of intellectual and private property. She is now preparing a book around the concepts of ready-made artist and human strike. Paris, June 2009 http://www.clairefontaine.ws/index.html

Dan Fishback

Dan Fishback is queer and Jewish and can’t tell the difference between the two. In his new talk, “You Never Get To Make Out,” the performance artist wonders why life in the shadow of death and destruction is so genuinely hilarious. Through a combination of humorous anecdotes and serious intellectual analysis, Fishback paints a portrait of post-Holocaust, post-80s-AIDS anxiety in an age of irony and detachment. Based largely on his new play, “You Will Experience Silence,” Fishback created this informal talk as a way to casually discuss philosophical issues without the dramatic pretenses of character, set design and heavy lighting equipment. Called “a cross between Woody Allen and Karen Finley,” his boisterous presence serves as a bridge between contemporary indie sensibility and classic Jewish humor. Dan Fishback has been making surreal, political queer theater in NYC since 2003. His current work is being supported by the Six Points Fellowship for Emerging Jewish Artists. His past theater projects have been performed at Galapagos Art Space, Dixon Place, Brooklyn Arts Exchange, and many other New York venues. In 2007, he sat on the review panel of the Foundation for Jewish Culture’s New Jewish Theater Projects grant. Fishback’s writing has been published nationally, including an essay in “Mentsh: On Being Jewish and Queer” (Alyson Books, 2004). Fishback’s band, Cheese On Bread, has toured Europe and North America, and recently released their new album, The Search for Colonel Mustard, in the United States and Japan. As a solo artist, he has released several recordings, and will drop his new full length studio album, Mammal, in 2009. He has shared stages with Ani Difranco and Kimya Dawson as part of the punk dance troupe Underthrust.

Pablo Christi

Right up front is Pablo Christi’s clever and arresting Hipster Pig. A life-size mounted patchwork denim hog’s head with gilded chicken-foot necklace, Christi’s sculpture critiques the new snout-to-tail foodie movement that fetishes consuming every bit of the butchered animal. I immediately recognized the chicken foot adorning the pig’s neck since my dad loved sucking down those bones long before Anthony Bourdain made it trendy. Likewise my grandmother’s stockpot was full of necks, wings, feet, and chicken heads, which horrified her grandchildren but made for excellent soup. Who knew that she and Pops were such culinary trailblazers? I’m sure they was just trying to save a buck, whereas the foodies that Christi critiques are making bank selling bone marrow and fish cheeks to gullible upscale consumers. Funny how poor people eating fish stomach don’t make it onto The Food Network very often.

European Pig festival!

SIEDLEC - Święto Świni już za pasem2011-08-11 00:00 Ich Troje, Natalia Kukulska, Formacja Nieżywych Schabuff, Cezary Pazura, In Grid, Katrine, to tylko niektórzy popularni artyści, którzy wystąpili już na scenie zbliżającego się wielkimi krokami Święta Świni, które już po raz ósmy odbędzie się w Siedlcu, niewielkiej miejscowości w powiecie wolsztyńskim. Zaczęło się kilka lat temu, kiedy to wójt gminy – Adam Cukier wpadł na pomysł zorganizowania tego wydarzenia. Swoją decyzję argumentował statystykami, według których w gminie Siedlec hoduje się 14 wieprzy rocznie na jednego mieszkańca.”Wypadło na świnie, gdyż nasi rolnicy i przetwórcy z nich żyją” – miał powiedzieć wójt. Słowa szybko zamieniono w czyny i podczas inauguracji tego oryginalnego święta odsłonięto jedyny w Polsce pomnik świni. Impreza szybko nabrała rozgłosu, nie tylko ze względu na swoją oryginalność. Od samego początku organizatorzy wysoko postawili poprzeczkę, zapraszając do Siedlca gwiazdy z pierwszych miejsc list przebojów. - Staramy się cały czas utrzymywać wysoki poziom, tak, aby ludzie chcieli do nas przyjeżdżać - przekonuje Marek Budziński, organizator wydarzenia. Impreza z każdym rokiem zyskuje coraz większą popularność, dlatego przygotowania zaczynają się bardzo szybko. - W zasadzie, gdy kończy się święto świni, już zaczynamy przygotowania do kolejnego święta. Wstępnie orientujemy się kogo zaprosić, rozmawiamy z gwiazdami. Chętnie słuchamy sugestii mieszkańców kogo chcieliby usłyszeć. Ale lista wykonawców z każdym rokiem się zmniejsza. Jeśli chodzi o wykonawców disco polo, to właściwie największe gwiazdy tego gatunku już u nas gościły – mówi pan Budziński. Kogo będzie można usłyszeć w tym roku? W piątkowy wieczór wystąpi między innymi grupa Sumptuastic, Strefa Zero i The Postman, w sobotę zaprezentuje się Drunk’n’ rolled oraz Big Cyc, a w niedzielę ze swoim programem kabaretowym wystąpi Jerzy Kryszak, który będzie też konferansjerem, a na zakończenie wystąpi belgijska gwiazda - Danzel. Zwieńczeniem trzech dni zabawy będzie, już tradycyjnie, pokaz sztucznych ogni, który, jak przekonuje pan Marek, ma być jeszcze bardziej atrakcyjny niż w roku ubiegłym. Między występami gwiazd zaprezentują się również lokalni artyści - zespół Perły, Tuchorzacy, laureaci festiwalu „Talenty Regionu Kozła”. Święto Świni to nie tylko atrakcje muzyczne, lecz również kulinarne. Tylko w Siedlcu można spróbować regionalnych specjałów nie tylko z wieprzowiny. Święto Świni to także konkursy, pokazy i inne atrakcje wśród których z pewnością każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie. W tym roku organizatorzy spodziewają się około 60 tysięcy uczestników. Co sprawia, że popularność Święta Świni wciąż rośnie? - Najważniejsze, że jest to wydarzenie ogólnodostępne, odbywające się na bardzo dużym terenie. Co roku we współpracy ze strażakami przygotowujemy mnóstwo miejsc parkingowych, tak by nikt nie miał problemu z zaparkowaniem. Poza tym jest to wydarzenie bezpłatne, za wstęp nie pobieramy ani złotówki - wylicza Pan Budziński. - Co roku przyjeżdża do nas mnóstwo gwiazd. Bardzo ważna jest również promocja gminy i Siedlca nie tylko w Polsce, ale też za granicą. Przyjeżdżają do nas posłowie, senatorowie, okoliczni burmistrzowie, zagraniczni goście. Poza tym, to idealna pora na odpoczynek i relaks po żniwach. Ludzie zmęczeni pracą, a u nas mają okazję odetchnąć przy dobrej muzyce, zjeść coś dobrego, zwłaszcza, że ceny są przystępne - dodaje organizator. Nie pozostaje nam więc nic innego, jak tylko zaprosić wszystkich do Siedlca na Europejskie Święto Świni w dniach 19 -21 sierpnia. http://www.echaokolic.pl/strony/SIEDLEC___Swieto_Swini_juz_za_pasem/
