Indecent exposure
Today the government of belgium decided to prohibit the Burqa. They said it has nothing to do with the religion, how can you say that? but that's not what interests me. Their point is that it covers the face so the women that wear it are not identifiable. I think everybody has the right to be not identifiable, this is the new step in our totally registrated society. It's not for you and me but for the camera's that registrate everything. Nowadays everybody, especially moslims, is a potentially suspect.
On the thursday of the becoming minority week, there was this artist called Christian Huebler of the artist group Knowbotic Research. He said "it's in the nature of men, to hide or camouflage". They made a nice project out of it. Mac Ghillie. I can not find it on the internet. But i will explain it shortly.
The had a mac Ghillie suit they modified it with a concrete color. Then the suit was placed in a big red box somwhere in the city of Vienna. Threw internet and flyering they informed the people about the macGhillie project, together with a phone number that you could call if you wanted to wear the suit for a couple of hours. So you could veil yourself and walk around unidentified. I did find some more info.

WILLY post-war-mode
lets say making a start into illustrating the unfinished. i feel like willy, the 'free' post-colonial african who can only illustrate the image that is given to him. where is willy now?
for example: drum tha bass...listen it was the african who invented rhythm, isn't it. and what came firts (?) the rhythm are the dance, this is what my dance history teacher NANCY always questioned her pupils...blieb blieb...i say they came in converge! without rhythm there is no dance and without dance there is no rhythm; they come together.
now back to the example: question (?)
if war is something that is given to society what can society give back to war
well? i say, lets make post-war-mode. it is happening already, nothing new. we enjoy mode(s) because we love facsimile, reproducing and reproducing the reproduced. right? repeat after me but in different modes of that time and place. you are what you know and we all want change at the same time, and how is that possible? the impasse makes us create silly things like post-war-modes. we live the life -the fashion- of what is given.
thanks to the power of the male.
women make war 'only' in the homes male live in, remember that!
for the onliner lovers: men rule the world but women rule all!
women can hold guns and kill too, but not as much as men. nee, i am not a feminist, but facts are facts. listen to simone de beauvoire "the second sex", the history of women and the suppression they had to deal with. It is still happening. maybe not so much in western countries, but take a deep look in non-western countries. men are still ruling because of the undeveloped manners and old habbits, to kill or rape for example. and who were their teachers then? i confuse myself here, shit...
aaah okay back to the question: (?)

Wake - Peter Halasz
"Mr. Halasz [bold guy in the pict] died [liver cancer] just a month after staging his own funeral on Feb. 6 [2006] at an art museum in Budapest, where he was born. The Berlin newspaper Tagesspiegel reported that he had himself enclosed in a glass coffin [made out of wood as you see in the picture] for a final farewell to friends and hundreds of theater fans.
"I'm curious how a funeral looks from the other side," Mr. Halasz told the BBC World Service's "Outlook" program as he prepared for what he termed his last appearance. "I want to take a look at my friends and listen to the eulogies." - The New York Times

Oneliners
This is a part of Jenny Holzers Truisms. The whole thing you can find nowhere. I think oneliners are great, and cheap. It's the easiest way to get in somebody's brain.
Assignment: Can you guys react on this post with a oneliner, doesn't have to be a reaction on the content. Just a oneliner, can be true can be false. The only thing is that it has to be own invented. I will do it also, but my head is a bit sore of thrinking.

TRANSFORMA: Operators from TRANSFORMA on Vimeo.
Operators is the culmination of a series of recent studio studies. These have been clustered together to form a stage of experimentation with the Operator at the center going about his work. Manipulating the surrounding elements, he creates acoustic and visual signatures which are spliced together to form a narrative. As images blend between artifice and the 'reality break', the resulting 'film' is juxtaposed against its very own 'making of'.

Schlingensief - Bitte liebt Österreich
this is an event by christoph schlingensief in vienna, austria. there right next to the wiener oper, they installed a container where 12 immigrants lived for a duration of one week. like in big brother, people who called could kick the immigrants out of the container and decide who will get back to their country. every day two people had to go. the winner could get some money and as far as possible he or she could find after somebody to marry to stay in austria! it happened right in the year 2000 when austria got its right wing coalition running the government. of course this event stirred up a lot of controversies like many other projects of schlingensief. on the top of the container you see the writting "auslaender raus" which had to be renewed almost every day, because it got demolished by acid and colourbombs. many locals got really offended by the openess and directness of this event. as you can see here, this old lady hitting and screaming at schlingensief "du kuenstler!":

In the summer of 1960, 26-year-old Jane Goodall arrived on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in East Africa to study the area's chimpanzee population. The trip meant the fulfillment of Jane Goodall's childhood dream. mission being to advance the power of individuals to take informed and compassionate action to improve the environment for all living things. In this 4 minute video she compares the chimpansee community with ours: they have good mothers and bad mothers too.

Stuckism - or Anti - Anti - Art
Stuckism is a radical and controversial art group that was co-founded in 1999 by Charles Thomson and Billy Childish (who left in 2001) along with eleven other artists. The name was derived by Thomson from an insult to Childish from his ex-girlfriend, Brit artist Tracey Emin, who had told him that his art was 'Stuck'. Stuckists are pro-contemporary figurative painting with ideas and anti-conceptual art, mainly because of its lack of concepts. Stuckists have regularly demonstrated dressed as clowns against the Turner Prize. Several Stuckist Manifestos have been issued. One of them Remodernism inaugurates a renewal of spiritual values for art, culture and society to replace the emptiness of current Postmodernism. The web site www.stuckism.com, started by Ella Guru, has disseminated these ideas, and in five years Stuckism has grown to an international art movement with over 187 groups in 45 countries. These groups are independent and self-directed.
i don't think they're über cool but they make some good points.especially i like the story of how they came up with the name!

Space women
The Russians sended this woman in orbit (1963) for test on the female body. I don't know if they we're serious or if it was a part of the "Space race". But she was not allowed to have manual control over the spaceship. The Americans sended their first woman Sally ride in orbit in 1983. Does feminism exist outer space?

Hi
I am not a feminist. I dont like feminist. I like women. Feminists dont enjoy the beauty that women can offer. Its OKE to be decorative! Moreover, you dont need to show bushy bush to be a tough woman. Moreover even more just holding a machine gun in a gallery or museum is REALLY STUPID. GUNS ARE FOR SHOOTING. These girls below know how to shoot a gun, they JUST LOVE IT. And make a very positive contribution by showing us how much they do.
ps i fixed the width of this movie too but you might want to watch this full screen, ciao
ps ps i LOVE AMERICA how great s a country where IT IS OKE to shoot your machine gun in your backyard! Wearing your bikini!
ps ps ps whats even BETTER is that in your bikini it dont matter if you hit target, just look good shooting woehaw!

Under the pavement, the beach.
As you know, the mainstreaming of our daily life, call it one of the new made up nature laws, has occured with a withering fear to stop us to become something that we always were, as long as evolution goes on, namely poor or slow but not helpless. Let's work ! Against this current, i suggest to relibidinalize the love of lazyness.
We as artists can articulate much of the specifity and complexity of modern life in our works. We must not have a second life. We must not even reflect a second life. Those who ask what we are busy with will get only one answer: Of course there is an outside, but we live in an entire animated world. and i am busy with collapsing the hand of the creator, by turning him into a rabbit himself.
Matt Groening stands in a ominous twilight of abstract media-machines providing a new poetry of the post-industrial family, namely the simpsons, who are nothing more but forced by him to act for a blockbuster, to entertain the real, becoming the animated. their project is nothing more but a shiny tv screen, the who-is-who of the daily us. but we can say the medial screening can work inverse for us. the technological conditions that made us look, will be turned into their own malfunction: from the news back into our true, old questions, into tools of simple communication and primitive artistic production. trees grow by themselves too. the lazy is not crazy!

Never Work - Guy Debord
and yo don't have to click here:Source: Oeuvres. Gallimard, Paris, 2006;
Translated: for marxists.org by Mitchell Abidor.
In 1953 Debord painted on a wall on the Rue de Seine the slogan “Ne travaillez jamais,” “Never Work.” He considered this bit of graffiti of tremendous importance throughout his life, including it in his autobiography, Panégyrique. The three words contain an entire program, and he was jealous of the graffiti’s use and abuse. The following letter is in response to a postcard issued containing it.
To the Cercle de la Librairie
117, bd Saint-Germain
Paris 6
Paris June 27, 1963
Messieurs,
The Bernard printers have sent me your letter of June 21, 1963, by which you a demand 330 F indemnity for non-observation of the law on artistic property. In fact, issue 8 of our revue contains, on page 42, the photograph of an inscription on a wall, “NEVER WORK,” a photograph drawn from a postcard by Monsieur Buffier, whose name is not mentioned and whose prior authorization was not requested.
It is the case that I am personally the author of that inscription on the Rue de Seine, whose origin, if necessary, could be established by ten or fifteen eyewitnesses. You understand that under these conditions I, in good faith, did not think I had to request prior authorization for reproduction, even if the latter was less onerous than the sum you have now fixed (according to the scale established in 1962 by the press union for periodicals with a circulation of less than 10,000, the photographic reproduction for less than a half page costs 20F).
I can only approve your defense of artistic property, which is too often ignored. I would like to say that in this regard the photo published in Internationale Situationniste is reframed in such a way that it only reproduces the part of Monsieur Buffier’s postcard that concerns the document properly speaking ( the inscription itself), this by excluding those characteristics which confer on this post card the artistic imprint unique to Monsieur Buffier. That is, the framing he chose and also the title he gave this subject, the post cards in this series all having, in the lower left of the image, an integrated inscription which comments on its meaning (in this case, “Superfluous advice”). As for the third element, it is acknowledged that in measuring the artistic responsibility of a photograph – by which I mean the choice of a subject – it would appear that on this point I can claim creative property which equals, and probably eclipses, the merits of Monsieur Buffier artistic taste, limited in this case to a simple reproductive choice.
To get to the heart of this question of artistic property, I would like to assure you that I in no way want to demand a portion of the receipts for the sale of this postcard or indemnities for its unauthorized reproduction here and there. But there is another aspect, in my eyes more important. The inscription in question was done in another period, and without any ambiguity it was presented by the avant-garde Situationist movement (cf. the title of this illustration on page 42 of our revue) as a serious sign of the artistic climate of an era, and as a moment in the development of the theories of this artistic movement, theories which have a pretension to a certain seriousness. But Monsieur Buffier, by his personal interpretation of this inscription, and which does not figure in issue 8 of the Internationale Situationniste, spreads it about in his humorous way. Monsieur Buffier’s title, in fact, is “Superfluous advice.” Given that it is well know that the great majority of people work, and that said work is, despite the strongest repulsion, imposed on the near totality of workers by a crushing constraint, the slogan NEVER WORK can in no way be considered “superfluous advice.” This term of Monsieur Buffier’s implies that such a position is already unquestioningly followed by all, and thus casts the most ironic discredit on my inscription, and consequently my ideas and those of the Situationist movement, whose French language revue I currently have the honor of editing.
In the case then that this question can’t be settled amicably, as you say, it seems to me that, forced to prove that the original of this inscription should be attributed to me, I would be within my rights in demanding that you stop selling the postcards that present the fallaciously humorous interpretation, at least until he has printed on them a mention recognizing the serious intentions of the original author.
As for an amicable settlement, which I prefer, it seems that its modalities in the first place depend on the position that Monsieur Buffier adopts when he becomes aware of this additional information concerning our reciprocal rights and obligations in this affair, which I request that you transmit to him.
Sincerely yours
Guy Debord

Outsider Art
andre robillard
The Term Outsider art was introduced in 1972 by the English art historian Roger Cardinal as an Anglo-Saxon equivalent for the term Art brut, which established by french painter Jean Dubuffet. Outsider art is neither an artstyle nor a school. It is therefore anything but a homogenous, self-contained unit.Its esential,character ist that it takes place outside the established art world, beyond art history and tradition and regardless of trends and fashions of the art.
The creators of this art are mainly people, who made unusual experience in their lives or those who are subject to extreme mental states: Psychiatry-experienced, mentally handicapped people, prison immates, border crossers, eccentrics, people on the margins of society, in the social offside, in voluntary or unintended isolation and self-taught people with artistic potential. They differ regarding their personal background and social origin far apart, use different materials and expressive means, have no stylistic common ground and usually don`t know from each other. Which connects them und distinguishes them is the authenticity, originalness and immediacy of their pictorial language. Unlike the professional artists, they work with some exceptions, without ever a real artistic training to have enjoyed away from the commercial art busines and free from any pressure to adapt and independently of changing modes of art. Most of them see their own work not as an artwork and think of themselves not an artist.They have no intention to be artist, they live art. Their art is an expression of hidden desires, inner contradictions and visions. It is not outward but inward oriented, a trip into inside.The major aspect of their work is that, it emerges in their innerworld and imagination. The purpose of the work is in it own creation.
The works of outsiders have a unique visual language, a unique independent aesthetic category and evidence of a high potential for expression asset an a rough, raw charisma: Directness of expression, forcefullness, immediacy and authenticity, which make their strength, their charme and fascination ever identified. Their genuine, raw pictorial language stresses the conventional viewpoint in particular, in such a way, that in the eyes of some viewers, it is not only astonishing and admirable, but also strangely and grotesque.
Despite acknowledgment, which is brought to the outsider art increasingly in the last three decades and apart from few exceptions, which held the introduction into the art enterprise, into the museums and attained even world fame, the art of outsiders is however not accordingly appreciated by the established artworld. It is to be wished that the creators of these amazing artworks are recognized as artists.

Serial Killer & Artist John W. Gacy
This is one of gacy's clown drawings which were found in his house. besides his normal life activities he was also a painter and invented a performance character: "pogo the clown." he used to dress himself up like a clown to get in touch with young men and boys, he killed and raped after.
Here you see angry collectors burning paintings by pogo when they found out that he was a mass murderer (33 victims). some of them paid up to 20.000$ for an exemplar. gacy was a popular man, he used to throw block parties (where he also performed as "pogo") for his friends and neighbours. there is a famous picture showing him and rosalynn carter. if you want to see more of his work, here.

Little Billy's Letters - Bill Geerhart
In the 1990s Bill Geerhart was an unemployed, not-so aspiring screenwriter in his 30s. To pass the time, he channeled his inner child, 10-year-old Billy, and started writing letters to famous and infamous people and institutions. These letters, written in pencil on elementary school ruled paper, asked funny but relevant questions to politicians, serial killers, movie stars, lobbyists, CEOs, and celebrity lawyers.

- stupid & primitive
- well & nerdly done (colours,frames,effects)
- ugly
- rude & nonchalant
- dearing (frame,clours,text)
- unpersonal (no visible will to express individuality)
- randomly created by choosing any girl (?)
- arbitrary
- reactionary in its sexual desire (woman = stuffed by a bottle = violated)
- missing critical view on gender issues
- flat
- reduced to what?
- postmodern trash (anything goes)
- freaky
- cheap & funny
Samuel Beckett wrote : "There is nothing to express, nothing with which to express, no power to express, together with no obligation to express."
this picture is:
- ok
- dadaistic because maybe no real picture
- nihilistic
- postmodern ( who is the author?)
- overdone & empty at the same time
- powerless
- free of reflection
- boring
- bad text = nothingness = more sillyness
- its emptyness & non - intellectuality is provoking
- violent & drunk
- funny but not funny
- scary
- lying & ironic

Robot Exclusion Protocol By Paul Ford
Hello! I am Googlebot! I will not kill you!
I took off my clothes and stepped into the shower to find another one sitting near the drain. It was about 2 feet tall and made of metal, with bright camera-lens eyes and a few dozen gripping arms. Worse than the Jehovah's Witnesses.
“Hi! I'm from Google. I'm a Googlebot! I will not kill you.”
“I know what you are.”
“I'm indexing your apartment.”
“I don't want you here. Who let you in?”
“I am Google! I find many good things. I find that pair of underwear with the little dice printed all over them. And I watch the tape of you with the life-sized Stallman puppet. These are good unique things. Many keywords and links! My masters will say 'much good job, little robot!' Many searchers will find happy links of Stallman puppet see you! Ahhhh.”
“I put the robot exclusion protocol on my door. Didn't you see it?”
“You understand Google, person? I index many things and if I am very good I get to go to Bot Park and have more processors. And an oiljob! Thank you Google! Must come inside apartment and index. Must!” His video eye winked up at me.
“I know my rights. I'm giving you 10 seconds to leave.”
“Yes. I will leave. First I index everything. Everything! I am Google!” It put out one of its video arms and began to read the label on my shampoo bottle. So I beat it into shards with a folding chair and let it index the dustbin.
From here!
