STATE OF THE UNION/THE LAST WORD
|
| Censorship could be defined as something that happens everywhere in the world, but not in America. There thus remains the need to explain those strange phenomena that readers of American newspapers sometimes encounter. We will ask Europeans; perhaps they will recognize something ancient in them. |

CENSOR THIS!
|
| Talking about narcissism, I was once in a pseudo soft-porn movie, but just as an extra. It’s called Blue Movie and of course it’s not Warhol’s film of the same name. It was a B-Movie that was never released: it didn’t even go straight to video—instead it went straight to oblivion. It was a seminal attempt to make a movie like Zack and Miri Make a Porno, but instead it had two college-aged male… |

PUNKS NOT DEAD
|
| Punk. No One is Innocent—Art—Style--Revolt
Kunsthalle Wien
16 May—7 September, 2008
In Eastern Europe, or in any non-English speaking country for that matter, punks must take pride in writing “Punks Not Dead” without the apostrophe after the “K,” as it should be. Without the grammatical correction, on their leather jackets, t-shirts and graffiti on the walls, the slogan takes on a Dadaist… |

LOVE AND DEATH (FROM MEXICO TO VIENNA)
|
| Review of “Viva La Muerte!” — Art and Death in Latin America
Kunsthalle Vienna, October 17, 2007—February 17, 2008.
The tomb of Mexico’s last Emperor, His Imperial Majesty Maximilian I, is coveted in the Royal Crypt in Vienna, Austria. It was shipped there one year after he was publicly executed by firing squad in Mexico, 1867.
Before becoming Emperor, Maximilian had merely been an Archduke.… |

LOW BROW DE LOS ANGELES
|
| What should a group of artists do when they don’t like the name they’ve been identified with by dim and vicious art critics and the media? This is just one of the plights of Los Angeles artists tagged as “Low Brow,” in the documentary film “The Treasures of Long Gone John” by Gregg Gibbs. Gibbs’ movie describes the life of shaggy-haired, fun-loving, Long Gone John, an obsessive “low … |

MEXICAN ( AND MEXICAN) ARTIST IN PRAGUE - RIFAMOS! OR MULTICULTURAL LESSON NO.1
|
| Mexican (and Mexican-American) artists seldom have exhibits in Prague, but recently there has been a surge due to some group shows. At the abcd exhibition, “Art Brut,” there was the stunning work of Martin Ramirez (1895-1963), who was born in Jalisco, Mexico but lost his mind in America and died in a mental institution in northern California, and the overlooked Consuelo “Chelo” Gonazalez… |

STRANGE NEW WORLD IS COMING TO A FUTURE NEAR YOU
|
| “The United States shares with Mexico a two-thousand-mile connection—the skin of two heads. Everything that America wants to believe about himself—that he is innocent, that he is colorless, odorless, solitary, self-sufficient—is corrected, weighed upon, glossed by Mexico, the maternity of Mexico, the envy of Mexico, the grievance of Mexico.”

WORD SLINGERS UNITED
|
| There is always a feeling of disappointment, a let down as if I’ve been cheated, when art works are untitled. This is because, at least for me, a reference point has been eliminated.
Just for example, the recent retrospective of the photographer Miroslav Tichý at Brno’s House of Art, where almost all of the works were untitled. Understandably in his case, how can an 80-year old man possibly go… |

ARTISTS IN WONDERLAND
|
| A few years ago (Issue 3/2003), Umelec dedicated an issue to the theme, “The End of the Fairy Tale,” and in his essay “End of the Fairy Tale (between the fairy tale and Václav Stratil),” Jiří Ptáček took the English children’s story-teller Lewis Carroll to task for needing a magical mirror, the looking glass, to permit little Alice to enter a fairy tale land beyond her mundane reality.
