slow shutter speed

we must not reject or deny our protoplasmic core, striving at all times to mantain
a maximum of flexibility without falling into the morass of liquefaction.

Antwerp's finest*

Lut Brackx
Kunst & co.


While in Antwerp
there was this store..with those amazing little humanoids // Antwerp's finest art


































But when i spotted it, it was too late. Last day in town, plus it was Sunday. So I didnt have a chance to step inside. Back in Athens now, after a lot of google-search, i finally spotted the amazing Miss Lut Brackx. Unfortunately her website was in Flemish only and I couldn't get much out of it. Hopefully she will answer my mail - order ( :p ) soon and I will be able to add more info about those magnificent artifacts.

Paul McCarthy - "Air Pressure"

Paul McCarthy
"AIR PRESSURE"
Utrecht, Holland



"McCarthy sought to break the limitations of painting by using the body as a paintbrush or even canvas; later, he incorporated bodily fluids or food as substitutes into his works. In a 1974 video, Painting, Wall Whip, he painted with his head and face, "smearing his body with paint and then with ketchup, mayonnaise or raw meat and, in one case, feces. His work evolved from painting to tramsqressive performance art, psychosexual events intended to fly in the face of social convention, testing the emotional limits of both artist and viewer. An example of this is his 1976 piece Class Fool, where McCarthy threw himself around a ketchup spattered classroom at the University of California until dazed and injured. He then vomited several times and inserted a Barbie doll into his rectum. The piece ended when the audience could no longer stand to watch his performance."



"McCarthy has created several Christmas-themed works. Through them, he combines the dismal aesthetic and the real meaning of Christmas. Through this, McCarthy is able to stay close to the bottomless ground of creativity by accepting, even embracing, the one truly consistent strategy: failure."




I recently came accross Paul McCarthy's
large inflatable sculptures, in his latest exhibition in Utrecht. The whole Botanical Garden was reformed in one perverted maze! It was ..impressive! While walking around carnivorous plants and special breeds of cannabis trees, the visitor had the chance to take a close look at those imortalised
anti-symbolic balloons.

kitsos


i could say that I've spent 1/5 of my life till now in that car..
It's a Morris and around 40 years old
.
And it's about to be recycled.
every single scent of innocence goes down the drain with it.
