Why the Fuck not PPodcast

Episode 2 starts with a little unmentioned snippet of a song by Elio & Le Storie Tese awesomely performed by Antonella Ruggiero, to steadily continue with an interview with Manu Théron, lead singer of Lo Còr de La Plana, Chin na na poun and Gacha Empega. Although this episode of Why the Fuck not PPodcast was officialy invited to PUBLICA 2 in Puerto Rico, scared of the thought that the Bad at Sports staff is listening to it, this episode doesn't say a word about contemporary art. In fact, it barely treats contemporary music at all. Be brave, download it here.


Names dropped:
Antonella Ruggiero, Chin na na poun, Daniel Malvergne, Edmond Hosdikian, Elio e Le Storie Tese, Gacha Empega, James W Morris, Jonathan Richman, Lo Còr de la Plana, Manu Théron, Nani Álvarez(W&N), Patrick Vaillant, Publica 2, Puerto Rico, Richard Baquié, Webster Hall.

Milwaukee International Art Fair

Island's Artists Invade Milwaukee International Art Fair

REPUESTO and a group of puertorrican artists have been invited, by the curator of the prestigious center of contemporary art INOVA from the University of Winsconsin, Nicholas Frank, to take part during the 16th and 17th of May 2008 at Milwaukee International Art Fair. REPUESTO, a publication and archive of art events images on line, designed by duo W&N, together with the artists Gamaliel Rodríguez, Pedro Vélez, Abdiel Segarra, Jacob Marchosky and Kristine Serviá will be present with pieces of installation, drawing, painting, collage and sound objects. The Milwaukee Internacional fair is recognized in the international scene by its slightly conventional model since the fair is celebrated in a brewery.

REPUESTO’s intervention adds to some renown galleries that will participate on the art fair like Gavin Brown's Enterprises, Daniel Reich, Leo Koenig, Western Exhibitions, and Willy Wonka from Oslo among others.

Cataño DC

CATAÑO D.C. (Distrito Cultural)
El domingo 13 de abril de 2008, paralelo a Circa International Art Fair se celebrará el evento Cataño D.C. (Distrito Cultural). El mismo desea desarrollar en el casco urbano del municipio un proyecto cultural que sirva para unificar la comunidad y promover el intercambio de la historia del pueblo y sus costumbres. Cataño D.C. consta de diez y ocho (18) intervenciones artísticas a través de las facilidades del frente marítimo del municipio y las lanchas que transitan entre Cataño y Viejo San Juan. Jesús “Bubu” Negrón, Chemi Rosado-Seijo, Quintín Rivera-Toro y Jacob C. Morales-Marchosky son algunos de los artistas suscritos. Además, el público disfrutará de una propuesta musical experimental desde las 6pm hasta las 9pm en el Frente Marítimo de Cataño. Los proyectos musicales seleccionados cuentan con una estética influenciada por las vivencias citadinas. El propósito de la actividad es crear conciencia sobre el espacio y la necesidad de un arte especifico para su entorno. Este proyecto espera activar un área que aunque es rica en historia se encuentra rezagada del fenómeno de los programas de agenda cultural. El equipo de producción desea comenzar mediante esta acción un efecto de impacto que abra al pueblo de Cataño a mayores consideraciones como escenario para eventos o realizaciones de corte cultural. Cataño D.C., es un proyecto de Manuel de Lemos, arquitecto y urbanista y Conboca, Inc., una corporación sin fines de lucro que por dos años se ha ocupado por fomentar a través de proyectos de exhibición y publicaciones, el pensamiento crítico y la actividad cultural comprometida. Para más información pueden comunicarse con: Abdiel Segarra-Ríos, artista y curador del evento, t. (787) 633-9422 / e. abdiel.segarra@gmail.com.

EVENT HORIZON

Connect-the-Dots (Dead Pigeon)

Traditional education, implied largely to the operating or instrumental conditioning theory, distinguishes an instruction that bears in mind a stimuli that tries to receive specific response from the subjects, in this case, from the children.

Through experimental exercises, for example the connection of dots to create an image, a specific reference is given in order to have reinforced consequences; it is important to be kept in the line. This vague activity has as a main but hidden goal, for every child to develop no creativity and individuality wile teaching them to follow instructions.

Usually, when children are given an activity like this with a specific icon, for example a flower, next time they are asked to draw one, it is highly possible for them to draw a similar flower.




EVENT HORIZON: PUBLIC ART PROJECT

Featuring Printed Broadsides, Ephemera & Performative Happenings


“Event Horizon” is a public art project that seeks to create a site for inquiry into the nature of current events and history through the use of print media, performance, and individual interpretation. Artists within “Event Horizon” interpret and re-present topics, headlines, graphics, and text found in widely circulated newspapers, broadsides, and fliers to produce creative, critical, and poetic interplays in the form of printed posters and broadsides. The reader’s ability to translate and creatively respond to “popular” issues will underscore a story or subject’s meaning, thereby exposing “the style” of interpretation as a determinant element of how events or topics are individually understood and communicated to a larger public. Traditionally hung in public places to announce news and events to the public, broadsides locate information within a locality of interest, while creating a visual tableau, indexing issues within a splayed format. Physically unbound, the broadside references the loose sheets of a newspaper, with large type and simple script, easily read by the passerby, to be papered and hung on poles, store windows, buildings, and folding displays. Using print media as a means to create a backdrop for the projection of ideas and opinions, “Event Horizon” re-contextualizes current events within a staged setting of signage and performative happenings. By situating themselves within a public place, calling and handing out their print media, participating artists will be inadvertently quoting other historical and contemporary performance traditions, including: town-crier, soap-boxer, street performer, mystic, publicist, recruiter and activist. The public is invited to engage notions of the “newsworthy” through absurdist, practical, educational, comic, mundane, and dramatic presentations of topical material.
