STOP CENSORSHIP - PAREMOS LA CENSURA
"STOP CENSORSHIPThe censorship always present, this time in México. A group integrated by zealots, the clergy and the government authorities stoped a performance feautered by Rocio Boliver, alledgling "morally offensive conduct". This claim what headed by Mr. Francisco Torres Marmolejo, president of The Comunal Meeting and various local religious extremist. Rocio Boliver -a.k.a. The Frozen grape- performed "Close the Legs" in the First Encounter of Counterculture. She was invited to participate in the Conference “February, Art and Erotism at Serrano House” the past 26th of February in Los Lagos city, Guadalajara, México. This participation was canceled as many violent threats were received. "Serrano House" is administered by both, the University Student Center and its Rector is Mr. Roberto Castelán. The censor group demanded Mr Roberto Castelán's resignation as he allowed Boliver's performance participation in the mentioned event.
We condemn the censorship to the free artistic expression from Rocio Boliver. Her performances always criticized the pretended morality of the ruling class. We believe she is being victim of a true witch-hunt. Therefore we request all performance artists in the world to give us your support against censorship. The performance as artistic expression marginal, belonging to the underground movements. It is a universal method to communicate these un-justice and wrong doings to the public. We request feedback, support comments for Rocio Boliver and the free artistic expression to these emails:

Remembering MAN RAY
Man Ray, born Emmanuel Radnitzky (August 27, 1890 – November 18, 1976), was an American artist who spent most of his career in Paris, France. Perhaps best described simply as a modernist, he was a significant contributor to both the Dada and Surrealist movements, although his ties to each were informal. Best known in the art world for his avant-garde photography, Man Ray produced major works in a variety of media and considered himself a painter above all. He was also a renowned fashion and portrait photographer. He is noted for his photograms, which he renamed rayographs after himself.[1]
While appreciation for Man Ray's work beyond his fashion and portrait photography was slow in coming during his lifetime, especially in his native United States, his reputation has grown steadily in the decades since.
In 1999, ARTnews magazine named him one of the 25 most influential artists of the 20th century, citing his groundbreaking photography as well as "his explorations of film, painting, sculpture, collage, assemblage, and prototypes of what would eventually be called performance art and conceptual art" and saying

"Man Ray offered artists in all media an example of a creative intelligence that, in its 'pursuit of pleasure and liberty,'"—Man Ray's stated guiding principles—"unlocked every door it came to and walked freely where it would."[2] --Wikipedia

Italian Futurism
MASTERPIECES OF FUTURISM AT THE PEGGY GUGGENHEIM COLLECTION
February 18 – December 31, 2009
Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venezia
In the centenary year of the publication of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti’s founding manifesto of Italian Futurism, this special installation in the permanent galleries of the museum focuses on the Futurist masterpieces of the Gianni Mattioli Collection, with additional paintings, sculptures and works on paper from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and other private collections. This small but mighty presentation includes iconic paintings by each of the five artists who signed the Technical Manifesto of Futurist Painting in 1910, Balla, Boccioni, Carrà, Russolo and Severini, and by other artists related to the movement (Rosai, Sironi, Soffici). A preliminary section alludes to related contemporary avant-gardes (Divisionism, Cubism, Orphism, Vorticism).

The manifesto of futurism by Marinetti - february 20, 1909
1 - We intend to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and fearlessness.
2 - Courage, audacity, and revolt will be essential elements of our poetry.
3 - Up to now literature has exalted a pensive immobility, ecstasy, and sleep. We intend to exalt aggresive action, a feverish insomnia, the racer's stride, the mortal leap, the punch and the slap.
4 - We affirm that the world's magnificence has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing car whose hood is adorned with great pipes, like serpents of explosive breath - a roaring car that seems to ride on grapeshot is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace.
5 - We want to hymn the man at the wheel, who hurls the lance of his spirit across the Earth, along the circle of its orbit.
6 - The poet must spend himself with ardor, splendor, and generosity, to swell the enthusiastic fervor of the primordial elements.
7 - Except in struggle, there is no more beauty. No work without an aggressive character can be a masterpiece. Poetry must be conceived as a violent attack on unknown forces, to reduce and prostrate them before man.
8 - We stand on the last promontory of the centuries!... Why should we look back, when what we want is to break down the mysterious doors of the Impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. We already live in the absolute, because we have created eternal, omnipresent speed.
9 - We will glorify war -the world's only hygiene- militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.
10 - We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, feminism, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice.
11 - We will sing of great crowds excited by work, by pleasure, and by riot; we will sing of the multicolored, polyphonic tides of revolution in the modern capitals; we will sing of the vibrant nightly fervor of arsenals and shipyards blazing with violent electric moons; greedy railway stations that devour smoke-plumed serpents; factories hung on clouds by the crooked lines of their smoke; bridges that stride the rivers like giant gymnasts, flashing in the sun with a glitter of knives; adventurous steamers that sniff the horizon; deep-chested locomotives whose wheels paw the tracks like the hooves of enormous steel horses bridled by tubing; and the sleek flight of planes whose propellers chatter in the wind like banners and seem to cheer like an enthusiastic crowd.
It is from Italy that we launch through the world this violently upsetting incendiary manifesto of ours. With it, today, we establish Futurism, because we want to free this land from its smelly gangrene of professors, archaeologists, ciceroni and antiquarians.

Structure created spontaneously. Everybody is an artist (or could be when s/he would call him/herself this way). So nature is. Or can art not be coincidental?

Tribute to KIKI SMITH
(internet photos)Kiki Smith is an artist of international prominence whose career has thus far spanned over three decades. She was born in 1954 into a family of artists: Her mother, Jane Lawrence Smith, was an opera singer and actor, and her father, Tony Smith, was an architect, painter prominent sculptor. She helped her father when she was young and over the years has continued to work in close collaboration with other artists, printers, performers, and architects. In the late 1970s, Smith began to participate in exhibitions with Collaborative Projects Inc. (Colab), a group of artists who shared a desire to make their art more accessible to people outside of the conventional art world. At this time she began making accessible multiples—a practice that endured even as Smith’s art entered the mainstream museum and gallery worlds, drew broad public and critical acclaim, and elevated her to a position among the most important and influential of America’s living artists.
"BARCELONA.- The Joan Miró Foundation presents Her memory, an exhibition by Kiki Smith organised in collaboration with the Museum Haus Esters in Krefeld and the Kunsthalle in Nuremberg, containing recent work by this American artist. It could actually be considered an “exhibition in progress”, since it has been enlarged at each venue before reaching the Foundation, which is the end of its tour...."

Remembering Leo Castelli
(internet photo)Leo Castelli (born Leo Krauss; September 4, 1907 – August 21, 1999) was an American art dealer. [1] He was best known to the public as the art dealer who first sold Andy Warhol's soup can paintings, and whose gallery showcased cutting edge Contemporary art for five decades.[2] Castelli showed Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Neo-Dada, Pop Art, Op Art, Color field painting, Hard-edge painting, Lyrical Abstraction, Minimal Art, Conceptual Art, and Neo-expressionism, among other movements.
He was born at Trieste, of Italian and Austro-Hungarian Jewish origin. Castelli's first American curatorial effort was the famous Ninth Street Show of 1951, a seminal event of Abstract Expressionism. In 1957, he opened the Leo Castelli Gallery in a townhouse on E. 77th Street between Madison and Fifth Avenues in New York City. Initially the gallery showcased European Surrealism, Wassily Kandinsky, and other European artists. However the gallery also exhibited American Abstract Expressionism. Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Cy Twombly, Friedel Dzubas, and Norman Bluhm were some artists who were included in group shows.
In 1958 Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns joined the gallery, signaling a turning away from Abstract Expressionism, towards Pop Art, Minimalism and Conceptual Art. From the early 1960s through the late 70s, Frank Stella, Larry Poons, Lee Bontecou, James Rosenquist, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Robert Morris (artist), Donald Judd, Chryssa, Dan Flavin, Ronald Davis, Bruce Nauman, Ed Ruscha, Salvatore Scarpitta, Richard Serra, Lawrence Weiner and Joseph Kosuth joined the stable of Castelli artists. In the 1970s Leo Castelli opened a downtown SoHo branch of the Leo Castelli Gallery at 420 West Broadway. In the 1980s he opened a second larger downtown exhibition space on Greene Street also in SoHo.
Castelli's first wife Ileana Sonnabend, whom he married in 1932, was also a formidable dealer of 20th century art. She ran a contemporary art gallery in Paris during the early 1960s after the couple divorced.[3] In the 1970s, she opened another contemporary art gallery in New York, the Sonnabend Gallery. Castelli's second wife, Antoinette Castelli, opened Castelli Graphics, an art gallery devoted to the prints and photographs of Castelli Gallery and other artists. The couple also had a son together, Jean-Christophe Castelli. In 1995 Leo Castelli married the Italian art historian Barbara Bertozzi Castelli.
In October 2007 Castelli's heirs announced the donation of the gallery's archives from 1957 through 1999 to the Smithsonian Institution's Archives of American Art. The Leo Castelli Gallery continues to operate at 18 East 77th Street in New York under the direction of his last wife showing many of the same artists from the gallery's past.[4] --Wikipedia
