wishfulThinking ... Or not

Disenchanted Japanese youth: When is that giant earthquake coming? The one that will turn everything upside down, crush all those arrogant bastards, and make me Prime Minister so I can pass a No-helmet-law.

Lee Godie, French Impressionist

“Renoir was the greatest artist of all time. He always said he painted beauty. Now I always try to paint beauty, but some people say my paintings aren’t beautiful. Well, I have a beauty in my mind, but it isn’t always easy to make paintings beautiful.” 

Oh. but you did, Lee, you did... and you are way better than Cezanne...

pingarte mayambanero


caminaba por el Design District de Miami y justo en la esquina de la NW 2nd Ave y la 25 St, me topé con este graffiti en la pared de la galería Pan American Art Projects.

mientras lo fotografiaba,una chica que trabaja allí y en ese momento salía me dijo que el dibujito no estaba allí la noche anterior... "pingarte para las masas", le dije sonriendo y se ruborizó a pesar de ser hip, artsy, joven y todo lo que eso implica. ella no sabía quién lo hizo y creo que tampoco le importaba mucho averiguarlo porque se alejó fumando y haciendo muecas de disgusto.

a mí, de paso voyeuristoide en la "capital del exilio", como siempre, me pareció muy adecuado graffiti mayambanero... perfect for these castrAting times, perfect for all the disembodiment going around, perfect for our indifferent awe in the face of despair, pero cargado de ese desparpajo machista cubano que quiere centrarlo todo en ese miembro viril --por reproductor-- que ahora, reproducido sobre el muro descansaba desmembrado, impotente y flácido y observador de quien se le acercara a observarlo.

ahí se los dejo... y si alguien sabe qué pinga é, o de qué va el graffitazo, que lo garabetee en los comentarios.

"... And finally, Yoani Sanchez of Cuba. She is the young blogger that Mrs. Obama referenced. She has used technology to promote positive change. She has created an interactive space for the exchange of ideas and free expression. She has given voice to the concerns and aspirations of her fellow citizens. And, as governments are learning around the world, you cannot stop the internet. And so her words, despite her government’s best efforts, are being translated into other languages, are being picked up and spread around because freedom knows no boundaries. And she deserves our thanks for demonstrating that again and again."

Brian Dettmer: The Book Surgeon

"My work is a collaboration with the existing material and its past creators and the completed pieces expose new relationships of the book’s internal elements exactly where they have been since their original conception.
...
"The richness and depth of the book is universally respected yet often undiscovered as the monopoly of the form and relevance of the information fades over time. The book’s intended function has decreased and the form remains linear in a non-linear world. By altering physical forms of information and shifting preconceived functions, new and unexpected roles emerge."
