A FAVOR DAS MANIFESTAÇÕES CONTRA A ELEIÇÃO E POSSE DO DEPUTADO E PASTOR MARCOS FELICIANO NA COMISSÃO DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS NO CONGRESSO, O ARTESQUEMA POSTARÁ IMAGENS DE TRABALHOS DE ARTE QUE AJUDEM A CONTESTAR AS IDÉIAS RACISTAS, HOMOFÓBICAS  E FUNDAMENTALISTAS DO PARLAMENTAR E SEU PARTIDO. O BRASIL ESTÁ NA MODA MUNDO AFORA, MAS PRECISAMOS DENUNCIAR O FANATISMO RELIGIOSO SE ENTRANHANDO NA VIDA CIVIL. FORA DEPUTADO FELICIANO, PELA DIVERSIDADE DE CREDO, DE RAÇA E SEXUAL.

Despite all you have been listening about the prodigy of Brazil, the country is living a moment when religious fanatism is getting power. Last week, Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies elected an evangelical pastor as president of its Human Rights and Minorities Commission. He is Deputy Marco Feliciano, a fanatic spiritual lider, who has declared in the past two years that the misery in Africa was caused by Noe`s Damnation, and AIDS is a gay cancer… among other stupidities based on the Holy Bible.
So, artesquema will published images of gender art for the next days, in support for the impeachment of Mr Feliciano off his public situation. Bad education in Brazil is the cause of many freak mistakes in politics, like this one. Get out Mr. Feliciano! Artesquema will post some pics of gender art and colleagues just to shake Fanaticism a little bit.

A utopia é possível

por Daniela Labra (de Barcelona)

“O mundo está se preparando para uma metamorfose dos deuses. Abandonam-se os valores e arquétipos da cultura vigente e adotam-se novas formas de vida nascidas de outra visão do mundo”. Assim começava o manifesto da Instant City, uma das proposições do VII Congresso do ICSID – International Council of Societies of Industrial Design, ocorrido em outubro de 1971 na outrora idílica ilha de Ibiza – ou Evissa. O evento foi organizado pela Agrupació de Disseny Industrial del Foment de les Arts Decoratives (ADI/FAD), baseada em Barcelona, e teve um formato revolucionário, cujo objetivo era transformar um encontro profissional convencional em um acontecimento experimental e libertário, sem precedentes na Espanha – que amargava os últimos anos da obscura ditadura de Franco.

O congresso, que durou três dias, foi inspirado pela contracultura dos anos 1960 e fazia referência ao espírito livre da época, marcado por eventos artísticos, ativistas e políticos, que reuniam multidões de jovens nascidos no pós-guerra, desejosos de um mundo mais criativo, amoroso e pacífico.

The Brazillian experience – Puzzling Morality and the Effusive Body (part 1) @ performa magazine

The Brazillian experience – Puzzling Morality and the effusive body (part 1)

By Cristiane Bouger

When asked about her perspective on performance, the independent curator Daniela Labra stated with simultaneous confidence and perplexity: “Brazilians are performative. We deal with the body in a libertarian way, but we are also impregnated with moralisms.” The paradox raised by Labra can be identified in almost every aspect of Brazilian culture and social behavior. Nevertheless, her statement also addresses a poignant criticism to the conservatism of art institutions.

Labra has been working as a researcher and curator of performance works since 2004. In 2011 she conceived the Festival Performance Arte Brasil at the Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro–MAM RJ. The six-day festival received a grant from FUNARTE/MinC (The National Foundation for the Arts/Ministry of Culture) in the amount of approximately USD 125, 000. A curatorial team formed by professionals from different regions of the country composed the festival program, which presented the work of more than forty artists and art collectives.
