Marcela Levi, Brazil

In-organic (2007)

Synopsis: Twenty feet pearl necklace, a embalmed beef head, hair and invisible to the back of a bicycle light are objects -mejor dicho, subjetos (objetos desplazados, desfuncionalizados y subjetivados)- que Marcela Levi utiliza en la performance.

moments of the performance

In-organic not use movement as a mere display but tries to frame it within a discourse.

Although this piece has some special moments paused not make it easy for the public, is an example of good writing. The scenes unfold with both delicacy and movements of objects as used in the right measure to create a set full of aesthetic and semantic coherence. Ie not even need anything left over, everything is linked together and the end of the work emerges a clear and strong message.

The artist uses a few objects, only a stuffed bull's head, a very long string of pearls, a dress and a flashing bicycle. Without doubt, this is commendable restraint. With these few items and timely use of music, Marc develops a series of moves and related actions a minimal narrative. In the interior of Sao Paulo, the Cowboys choose their brides pouring the rope around the neck like cattle. They like them as well. This Hitori is repeated and finally tells a different story. In the interior of Sao Paolo, there was a murder and the photographer who covered the funeral won an award for the story. A mother had lost her son in a shooting and watched her body. The photographer took the picture without flash to give greater naturalness and realism to the scene. They like them as well. This parallels the end of the story highlights the sensitivity of cork from the violent Brazilian society.

Marcela Levi the end of the debate insisted that his play does not revolve only around a feminist discourse. It is true that at the bottom of the overall situation of society, not just women. However one of the greatest culprits in this situation is perhaps a brutal mentality that is linked largely to the masculinist culture. So maybe it is a feminist piece, in the best sense of the word that concerns us all.

The working class family, Oscar Bony, 1968

"Experience '68" at the Instituto Di Tella, Oscar Bony screened live on the family of a worker Die (with his wife and son) hired at double his usual salary to do their daily life during the visiting hours of the sample. The family was shown live on the stage of an exhibition hall.

The controversy started soon given the political connotations, economic and social thought to find in the work.
So right-wing groups considered that the display offended religious feelings by representing a parody of the Holy Family. But it was also offensive to leftist groups or labor unions did not accept live show is a family of workers, as a curiosity.

Without ruling out the ideological baggage that accompanied the presentation of this work should not be ignored that the decade of the "60 was testing for the arts in our country, while there were signs of political repression.

The only apparent interest Bony was to demonstrate that the family could hire a salary equal to that perceived by the householder at the factory. But between one and another contract was an economic difference behind because, if the employer would seize the "goodwill", which in theory Marxist economic understood that part of the unpaid worker's wage.
All these speculations were the source of controversy that were outrageous for the time.

Abs and philosophy, unpublished assembly


never fails: a good poster of Body Systems, the multinational company that creates fitness programs, can make any place look like a gym, even without tools and without electronic music. In this well-known sociologist Diego Melero, bodybuilding coach and artist focused on installations and performances in relation to politics, "that put one in Beauty and Happiness Space: there, on Wednesdays, at 18, taught political philosophy the gym, a series of classes where he teaches exercise alternating with ... a discussion on current political and theoretical approach taking classical thought.
Melero had the idea while training bodybuilding routines, seeing how they behaved and what they were saying those attending classes. 'Many of the topics was about current affairs at all levels, the economic consequences in their lives and their expectations for progress.
It's Wednesday, and a small group attending the class, in the basement of Acuña de Figueroa 900. Some are The Republic of Plato, under the arm. It projects a video without sound of British band Dr. Feelgood and speaker emits very loud symphonies 74, 75 and 76, Franz Joseph Haydn.
After a series of squats and lunges, those that are good for quads and glutes, "Melero Announces floor exercises. And change the subject: "Some of you were reading the books 5 and 8 of The Republic, Plato" Then stretching weights
students (actually, bottles of water half a liter). "Get back to back and move her arms as if rowing," she says. Now they are in the Ionian Sea, arriving to the Adriatic. This is an exercise today and always. Back when Plato made three trips to the Magna Greece to advise the tyrant Dionysius and Dion. I wanted to take them and they made a more just government, advised by philosophers, that come close to an aristocracy. "
Haydn's music makes each attendee to move dramatically, although there is heard Could it be that it hurts your shoulder? again on the floor, all are placed face up and open and close the arms, working the chest. One student mentioned that the book 8 Plato speaks of two cities (states): one poor and one rich. "Just like now," he concludes.

As the philosopher Lou Marinoff, author of the bestseller More Plato and Prozac least, is convinced that the philosophical and own and that of the great intellectual, is more useful to people to solve their problems than the very psychology Melendez says the classics of political philosophy used to understand the political reality of today. "Read Plato, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Montesquieu, and Marx, rather than move to the past, connects us with situations that have not changed, such as mortgage debts, bankruptcies, the division of spoils after the war, tension between the individual and the State.

Aristobulus Valley as is "buried " (what makes it unique in the province) has lifts on each platform, which for budgetary reasons were neatly hidden with the restoration work. It seems that the privatized will generate another control point tickets and extra cost of maintenance, we detail Ricardo.
While awaiting the arrival of training, we were delighted with the great dome of poured concrete and stained glass enigmatic. Mint secretly begins to take off a poster that caught his attention.

The future is offered to our hands, in 2006 with all the horoscope predictions for every sign, just a coin. Background sounds "DJ ambulant, which does not stop the hits of the Chaco click Palavecino. We

Munro, the "zone tricolor": The space station is the meeting point of the bar "Cole." We go away quietly on Avenida Velez Sarfield east, where the celebration May 25 (con) fused with the pre-World Cup frenzy. Albicelestes flags give the illusion of continuity to the landscape: hanging by the municipality in light poles, tied in a balcony or terrace, and street stall selling as is.

At Mitre Avenue, the shopping center axis Munro, a neighbor surprising historical data is overwhelming with the neighborhood: "This street was named Fund of the League, because it corresponded to the old layout of the funding of land overlooking the river and measuring 1 mile long. "testimony and we appreciate our course by duplicating the old pavement on the north coast profile.

We stop at the first milestone. A replica of the Statue of Liberty in fiberglass supported on a marquee. It was the best advertisement for the now abandoned "Supermarket Minimac . The occasion is ideal for group photo . licks Albano rubbing his hands and shoots.

We now turn to the south into the first gallery. There we met the great ombú cut. The environment is excellent for a readings on the anger and the decline: In anticipation of all climbs and recites Ricardo vehement Ferrovías your ticket that got you here. Martin gets excited and read excerpts from " futuristic architecture" of Sant 'Elia, "The Decadent French " Juan Ritvo and " Ruins" by Georg Simmel. Victoria comes alive with some poems of Oliver Diego Girondo and wearily reading the lucid comments via e-mail sent from Salta by our friend Luke .

There, in small steps from where the Tota Santillán recorded his "Passion of the Sabbath" concentrates more intensely local action: restoration of the national cinema museum, building the film school of Vicente Lopez and construction of a dry place as a framework the future "exhibition of nations." Where they had generated "spontaneously" a track skaters now dominate the geography two small sources. In what way can avoid the estates monopoly on the use of space public?

With the excuse to cut way let us be tempted by the bright colors and the roof of the last alucarnado gallery, where we witness a championship frantic "Pampita" (local slang for "pump it up" choreographic game emulation) Jennifer and Nadia are shocked at the ability of our dancers. Leaving the main

Marina and Natalia, seduced by the incredible offers, decide it's a good time to renew the placard. The rest of the group faces the second stage of the rally

From there we walked several yards to the stop 343, which takes us about 15 blocks west. While lowering the collective, Ignacio change the batteries in your camera does not miss a detail. Separating

either side large factories and small houses discover the "Ader tower" or "Tower of Italians." The mysterious tower is presented as similar to the English, but as disjointed, out of context, and without a clock. Although measured anyway time: at that time the afternoon sun tinged with an even more intense red bricks monument of Villa Adelina. Diego Hernán and complain about not being able to climb to its summit, is not open to the public on weekends.

Corridos by the sunset, we continued our march a few blocks to the "holding area" (the collective). Magdalena's skin crawls at bitter memories, "Could not they put another name? Stop would have been nice ...."
beside the point, the 333 (go number) is not expected, and leads quickly to "City Diarco."

To finish the day up high, Ricardo improvises a mini-tournament of yew-mail, in which Victoria was self-declared champion. Meanwhile, Julia and Mario are taken very seriously and will take from rallyconurbano sparks Karting track, armed after the fair.
