Mapuche: Gente de la Tierra

El pueblo mapuche es uno de los pueblos indígenas
originarios de SurAmérica, ubicado básicamente en el
sur de Chile y Argentina.

Desde la colonización española (1536) empieza su
historia de opresión, aculturación y usurpación de
territorios. En la actualidad representan el 10% del
total de habitantes de Chile (aprox. 1.500.000 hab.).
En Argentina esta proporción es mucho menor.

El gobierno chileno, en el marco de la globalización
económica que prioriza la ley del dinero y beneficios
por encima de todo, sigue destruyendo las relaciones
de l@s mapuche con la tierra.

En estos momentos, la empresa transnacional española
ENDESA, lleva a cabo un megaproyecto hidroeléctrico en
el río Bio Bio, que provocará la destrucción de la
cultura mapuche, inundando las tierras, casas,
cementerios y bosques de un centenar de familias de
las comunidades indígenas.

Desde el colectivo Marrichiweu y AutoEdiciones AnilinA
denunciamos esta injusticia con el pueblo Mapuche-
Pehuenche del Alto BioBio, y responsabilizamos el
gobierno chileno y a Martín Villa, presidente de
Endesa España como causantes directos de esta agresión.

Llamamos a tod@s l@s artistas, estudiantes,
colectivos, organizaciones y personas que se sientan
motivad@s para expresarse en contra de la violencia
del neoliberalismo que extermina al pueblo mapuche.

Mapuche: Gente de la Tierra

Mapuche are one of the indigenous original groups in
South America. They are mainly located in South Chile
and Argentina.
From the Spanish Colonisation (1536), there begins
their story about oppression, acculturation and lands
usurpation. At the moment, they represent 10% of the
population in Chile (aprox. 1.500.000 Hab.). In
Argentina, this number is much lesser.

The Chile government, in the times of economical
globalisation that gives priority to money and profits
above all, goes on destroying the natural links
between mapuche people and the earth.

En these moments, the Spanish transnational enterprise
ENDESA is carrying out a hydroelectric megaproject in
Bio Bio River. It will cause the mapuche culture
destruction and it will cover with water all lands,
woods, cemeteries and houses where live a hundred of
families.

From our association, Marrichiweu Group, and
AutoEdiciones AnilinA we denounce this unfair
situation in Mapuche-Pehuenche lands from the Alto Bio
Bio, and we want to make the Chile government and
Martín Villa (who is the president of Endesa España)
responsible. They both are the direct casuists of this
aggression.

We call to all artists, students, organizations,
collectives and people around the world that feel they
want to express their repugnance on the violence of
the neoliberalism that extermines mapuche.

Can use acetone to do the transfers from xeroxes--so xerox images from
newspaper etc and then transfer w/ acetone, a relatively benign solvent (much
less deadly than some others). Also, since the advent of soy inks, the old
solvent-transfer from newspaper thing doesn't work as well. This circumvents
that.

 you can make interesting works by collecting color xerox from trash

dear ak:

my gawd! many THANKS for your info!
does indeed turn out BY CHANCE (?--"meant to be")--
do have huge lovely metal can of acetone here 
still "bran-nu" as never opened
can't recall why have it
may be like abt 85% or so of my work materials "found"
"while in the line of duty"--i.e. walking abt
or at a sale of art supplies figured some day of use
--and NOW IS!

have found though for my purposes--ie. love of the corroded,
cracked, fragmented, "if it's broke don't fix it"--
(much like myself any more)
that much like effects though "poor" (arte povera/art brut?)
of the old method--makes interesting forms/traces  of words/worlds


so--shall "sally forth" (always wondered who she is)
and try acetone!
funny you look  at it and is: ace tone

sounds like a Fifties rock and roll singer

but say it  is "ass-ah-tone"

"adventures with language" 

as old school books wd call it!

again many many thanks!

yet another thing of use in the world!

(or my corner of it--)

this book from Granary arrived on my doorstep today --- Footnotes: collage 
journal 30 years

Patricia -- it fits in so well to the idea of the time pieces!   torn from 
5x7 notebooks and taped onto a larger page, the tape itself now "highlighted" 
one way or the other as arranged, "an artistic artifice as well as an homage 
to Diter Rot and his SEP book 246 Little Clouds"   everyother page 
has one of these notebook pages, with facing page/text of poetic notations, 
sometimes quite minimalist or sounding like mini scores for performance

the pieces have the quick at-the-scene feel of Dave Baptiste Chirot's pages 
for the fluxlist timepiece, giving the sense that almost you are watching 
thoughts/impressions as they appear blur and disappear, ideas nearly wiggling 
as they become visual in pencilled scribbles, mind in action

introduction by JRothenberg is good, ending with AK quote "It is important to 
remember that we are free to make art and poetry out of anything: a loaf of 
bread, some beans, a hasty jotting on the train."

I ordered the Footnotes not having seen a page, just so hopeful that it'd 
touch my obsessions with calendars/days/collage/found poetry  and I love 
it.   I'm sorry I can't do a more appropriately articulate review   - now 
I have to go spend some time with this book!

making art? Seems you have a lot of time on your hands, to
be so dedicated to trashing Ken Friedman.

 I never said that. What I did was to inform the list that none of the
 artists initially associated with Fluxus ever saw Ken Friedman as an
 artist. To us he seemed to be an agent and promoter. And that most of us
 would have preferred that he promoted something else. Also with some satire
 I pointed to the fact that he claims to have made Fluxus work i 1956, being
 6 years old and 6 years before the first festivals in 1962.

NB,
An erudite and visual review it is - well done!!!  In fact, so compelling a
review, I have just interrupted this post to whip out the well rubbed Visa card
and order it.  Add to your timepiece reference the fact that I have been
collecting feet fotos for a feetsheet, and, voila - kismet - karma.  Whatever.
Also, I am admittedly an Alison Knowles groupie.

On the timepiece reference, Count Vladimir de Mews Russian Blue has chosen Roger
"Radio" Stevens as the next victim, and I shall begin manipulation on him this
very weekend.  I mean, embellishments to his visage (she said, chortling and
rubbing her hands with glee).

2000-09-28 Thread Patricia

Interesting, I viewed a televised special on the recent Rauchenberg exhibit and
commmitted to memory the fact that they taped him making monoprints on wet
watercolor paper from an inkjet print.  It's in the P.K. memory but I have yet
to try it.

I've done the acetone method, but I have developed an aversion to chemicals,
so, if I use chemicals for any type of process, I use them outdoors.

Re the timepiece work - Dave, I was disappointed that the texture of your
pieces was lost in the scan process, but I like the different dimension it
brings through the loss of dimension, if that makes any sense.  This
digital/internet business has no end of visual fascination.  Btw, I will send
them back to you, honest.

Posted by luap on Tue Sep 19th, 2000 at 09:27:27 AM EST 
   
 

I've begun an experiment in my free time. I want to see if I can create an online 
artistic community with
people posting their own works as well as commenting on others, sort of a method 
for writers/poets to get
their word out and maybe even make money bypassing the publisher. Can it be done? 
Will the produced
fiction/art be more/less real? 

I haven't really seen the 'slashdot' for literature out there yet. Instead
of using one of the OS solutions out there for community type sites, I've
decided to program my own (php4 w/MySQL backend.) 

I'll be honest with you, though, in that I'm an English/Journalism major, a poet 
at heart. I've been
fascinated with the web since '95 or so, recently delving into scripting with PERL 
and php. (Creating art,
but in another language, that of the computer.) 

So... I guess I'm just looking for feedback on the concept and execution of open 
source literature.
