To regulate or not…

The apparent failure of a prominent gallery in New York this week (NYT, NYO, Bloomberg) is causing ripples within the international Art community. Whether the truth is about weaknesses in financial management (as suggested by Salander’s lawyer) or something more sinister is beside the point. Many are now asking whether, with the growing number and size of transactions, a more formal, and compulsory, oversight system is necessary for the Art world to protect individual buyers and sellers.

Uma outra ciência

Nesta semana, Mauro e Manuela estiveram no Acre, aqui em Rio Branco. Trata-se do casal de antropólogos Mauro Almeida e Manuela Carneiro da Cunha, que há mais de vinte anos realizam pesquisas no Acre e apoiam as lutas de suas populações por seus direitos territoriais, sociais, intelectuais, enfim, direitos a uma vida digna. Mauro, aliás, é acreano. Entre os anos de 1982 e 1983 viveu nos seringais do alto rio Tejo, cortou seringa, acompanhou o dia a dia dos seringueiros e dez anos depois defendeu sua tese de doutorado em Cambridge, infelizmente ainda não integralmente traduzida e publicada. Juntos, ele e Manuela organizaram a mais completa publicação existente até o momento sobre os conhecimentos e as técnicas desenvolvidas pelas populações locais do Alto Juruá, a “Enciclopédia da Floresta” (Cia. das Letras, SP, 2002). A Enciclopédia é resultado de um projeto que promoveu uma extensa e intensa parceria entre cientistas acadêmicos e moradores da floresta na região do Alto Juruá. Tive o privilégio de participar desta empreitada. (cont)

“If you want to be an icon of virtue, this is the moment because you’ll stand out”
Dave Hickey | 29.10.07 |

The question of how to sell without selling out is especially relevant in the contemporary art world and there are few people better qualified to grapple with this thorny topic than Dave Hickey.

Not only is he Professor of English at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Hickey is also one of America’s best known art and cultural critics, admired for his aversion to academicism and his robust analysis of the effects on art of the rough and tumble of the free market.

Last month he delivered a keynote speech at Frieze: “Schoolyard art: playing fair without the referee.” Here we present an edited transcript.

The lecture is available as a podcast at: www.friezefoundation.org/talks.

The title of this talk comes from a legend about the great basketball player Julius Irving, Dr J, who was famous even in his schoolyard days; he wanted to be a professional player so much that he always played by the rules even on the school yard.

He would call fouls on himself.

Any of you who have been around the art world for the last few years will realise the aptness of this comparison because whatever rules there may have been, no longer apply.

There are people out there who like art more than money.

The only bad thing is that there are a lot of artists who like money more than art.

This is a problem but consider the benefits.

There has never been a better chance to draw attention to oneself by behaving honourably and honestly and meticulously.

If you want to be an icon of virtue, this is the moment because you’ll stand out.If you behave well, if you behave correctly, if you make art that will still matter in 200 years, all you can lose is money.

Did anyone get into the art world to make money? I got into it for sex and drugs but not for money. (cont)

meu trabalho participa de uma coletiva no museu de arte contemporanea da universidade da florida q abre hoje! e em outra numa galeria em portugal q abre amanha :)

i'm taking part in a group show at the contemporary art museum of the university of south florida which opens 2day! and in another one in a gallery in portugal opening tomorrow

Homing Devices is a group exhibition that considers the way contemporary Latin American and Caribbean sculptors-who may live and work anywhere in the world-approach the idea of home in context of increasing globalization, mobility, exile and migration in the Americas. By including works that are accented but not defined or delimited by cultural, geographical, and national boundaries, the exhibition considers the vital question of how art and artists preserve their identity within a global landscape.

Artists include: Abel Barroso (Cuba); María Fernanda Cardoso (Colombia, lives in Sydney, Australia); Tiago Carneiro da Cunha (Brazil); Enrique Chagoya (USA); Diego de la Cruz and Antuán Lázaga (Puerto Rico); Edouard Duval-Carrié (Haiti, lives in Miami); Iran do Espírito Santo (Brazil); José Manuel Fors (Cuba); Carlos Garaicoa (Cuba); Kcho (Cuba); Ernesto Leal (Cuba); Los Carpinteros (Cuba); Jorge Macchi (Argentina); Luis o Miguel (Cuba); Cildo Meireles (Brazil); Sandra Ramos (Cuba); Roseângela Rennó (Brazil); Betsabée Romero (Mexico); and Sofía Táboas (Mexico). The exhibition will be organized to travel and is a significant component to the Tampa Bay area’s 2007 Arte Festival, which celebrates the variety of cultures from Latin American and the Caribbean.

Mono#Cromáticos – Vertentes na arte contemporânea brasileira

27 de Outubro (Sábado) a 15 de Fevereiro (Sexta feira)

A exposição colectiva Mono#Cromáticos – Vertentes na arte contemporânea brasileira exibe duas vertentes conceptuais existentes nas artes visuais no Brasil. A primeira vertente é concreta e minimalista na sua concepção e a segunda é colorista, pop e hedonista. Derivadas de uma “querela modernista”(*), que dividiu os artistas seguidores de uma arte abstracta dos de uma arte figurativa, na arte brasileira surgiram, desde os finais dos anos 1950, duas vertentes antipódicas na maneira de conceptualizar e de realizar os propósitos artísticos nacionais. Desde então, a arte brasileira trilhou um caminho de divisão conceptual e colocou de um lado os construtivistas, os abstractos e adeptos do rigor formalista e monocromático e, do outro lado, os artistas coloristas que misturam exemplos de liberdade criativa, aliando a tradição à inovação, delineada pelo uso da cor, da linha curva e dos motivos da alta e da baixa cultura.
No momento contemporâneo, estas duas vertentes confundem-se no panorama mas, mesmo assim, assiste-se a uma diversidade de propostas conceptuais demarcadas por linhas muito subtis, entre uma proposta mais construtiva, formal, e outra mais colorida, ecléctica e cheia de referências aos aspectos sociais, económicos e culturais da América Latina.
Da corrente colorista, apresentamos exemplos de modos barrocos de captar as influências europeias – especialmente a portuguesa – a negra e a índia, e de a todas transformar numa arte sensual, curvilínea, confirmando a afirmação de Hogart, segundo a qual “uma linha curva terá sempre mais beleza que uma linha recta”. Assim, a mostra apresenta desde a afirmação do popular nas obras de Cao Guimarães, Felipe Barbosa, Jarbas Lopes, Marepe e Rochele Costi, até ao modus surrealista de Cabelo e Janaina Tschäpe, e ainda ao barroco pattern de Beatriz Milhazes, Eder Santos, Mariana Palma, Miguel Rio Branco, Tiago Carneiro da Cunha e Vik Muniz.

einstein e deus / einstein & god

Einstein and the Mind of God

Speaking at a conference on science, religion and philosophy in 1941, Albert Einstein famously said that “science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.” Einstein, a German-born Jew, considered himself religious. But what he meant by religion was not straightforward. The first episode of a two-part podcast called Einstein and the Mind of God (iTunes - MP3 - Web Site) tries to sort out Einstein’s religious sensibility and how it squares with his scientific thinking. For Einstein, religion consisted of a belief, not in a personal God, but a universal spirit that manifests itself in nature. And it was the task of physics to make sense of nature, of God’s universe. Or, so that is how it’s explained by Freeman Dyson, a famed theoretical physicist who appears on the show. (cont)

Damien Hirst responds to press reports of a leak in one of his formaldehyde works

Monday October 1, 2007
The Guardian

In need of restoration ... Damien Hirst's Mother and Child Divided

Sadly, nothing in life lasts for ever, not even art objects . Our houses fall down eventually; all we can hope for is that, with lots of help, care, love, understanding and hard work, we can make the things that we value last a very long time. When it comes to my work, lots of people think that I use formaldehyde to preserve an artwork for posterity, when in reality I use it to communicate an idea.
