10 second couples

it seems that my latest posts are all related to artists.
today i received a song.
realised i knew the song and actually i was looking for it. i once saw this video and really really liked the song.and also the video.
well the song is called aphex twin - outside kick ass violin solo
but ro said that actually is
Outside - "To Forgive But Not Forget" from"The Rough & The Smooth" (Dorado & Filter Records, UK, 1995)

the video is called "10 second couples" by
cristian alexa
this woman walks on the street and she takes strangers by the hand. silentlly.she doesn't explain anything.she walks holding one's hand for 10 seconds and then she moves on.
and so on.different people.different reactions.
like it a lot.

illuminated emotions

saw this yesterday.
2 years ago haraldur jonsson showed this in Iasi.
it's called illuminated emotions.
human emotions alphabetically ordered, projected onto people.

santiago sierra

santiago sierra in bucharest.
he does bring the question whether contemporary art has anything to do with ethics. with whether I, as a contemporary artist, am allowed to use people as he does.
asked about ethics in his work he replied that he only underlines already existing facts.
and still, he pays people for doing stuff inside art galleries or he documents the happenings and presents them as artistic practice.















it is difficult though.art and social arenas are two tricky ingredients to mix.
on a different scale but still raising a lot of questions about the role of the contemporary artist dealing with social environments Rene Francisco Rodri­guez





"In one of the poorest quarters of Havana, Rene Francisco, along with neighbors, restored the completely dilapidated house of 83-year-old Rosa. She was chosen by the neighborhood residents in a basic democratic survey organized by Rene Francisco, because she had always helped others her whole life. A video documents the process, from the survey up to completion of the building measures."

he basically changed this woman's personal space.when she got back she found this new, more practical indeed space, but not her own anymore.

this pisses me off so i'll just finish the post.

i'm curious about santierra's installation in the museum.

rahova 2005-2007

this is also about the future.
Bucharest rahova neighborhood:
the area looks down at the moment and the revitalization is a difficult project due to the social context there. pr agency , advertising agency, multimedia company, architecture studio and contemporary art center together in ARK project














it reminds me of hoxton which functioned only in some concerns.
