RE: FLUXLIST: postcards/synchornicity/query--

2004-12-13 Thread David-Baptiste Chirot

Hello to all and sundry of you--
i seem to have missed what the original note is re postacrds--
to whom does one send them, and for what theme?
might someone let me know --i would be as they say eternally gratefull- (but what if you don't believe in eternity?!--what then--)
amazing to find the word "postcards"--as have been working on many to send out today!
using spray paint found objects some collaged materials  and clay (cards of course, also--)
at first i thought that perhaps working so long with the rubBEings of late to complete some proejcts--that working with the clay and objects at home--i might now be only in the way of finding objects of use--
yet--of course! one can also make impressions, cats--the opposite turned inside out of rubBEings--
apply the clay to the found tetterings attached to public private sights/sites/cites--and carry off the impression--to paint at home or on street in chosen areas--
one am very fond of is a small area only found in so far--AMERICAN DARLING--in large solid letterings on fire hydrants!
they are both red and read, so to speak
would this working be called "impressionism?!"
after all, one is making impreeions and also working outdoors!
at time ones also makes an imprssion on a querying person, a yuppie landlord or tenant--or a nice quiet policeman suddenly standing there staring down at you
"what you up to buddy?"
when it is explained--of course! what a marvlous idea! i tell him that i am collecting al sorts of things presenting in my one way a sort of tour of Milwaukee--
in other words, i am being a good citizen, harming no property--
property is really the key--of just about everything--in the usa, as i thibnk is written into our Constitution--private property--rights--written by mainly wealthy land owners who disliked paying taexs!--to far away England--
was thinking--and learning by noticing--in so many areas of the city--to avoid taxes and to ensure good property--the hordes now exited to the suburbs--leaving an immesne burden in many manhy ways--on those of us who remain--
have learned all sortsof things historical, legal, economic, health care related--
this is part of why i use only found materials and sites/sights/cites of streets etc driectly rubBEd--
no property or ownership involved--
to investigate the everyday--"the common thing anonymously about us"--w.c. willaims--"a poem can be made of anything"--poem cards!--
in uncanny recongitions--

FLUXLIST: Postcards for ViequesURGENTE (fwd)

2000-10-17 Thread David Baptiste Chirot


http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/7037/ArteCorreo/ViequesExpo.html

A// ESPAOL
B// ENGLISH

A//
La Marina de Guerra junto a tropas del Ejercito, la Fuerza Area
de Estados Unidos y fuerzas combinadas
de la OTAN estn bombardeando Vieques en estos das.
Los ejercicios militares a gran escala comenzaron
el pasado 9 de octubre y se prolongarn hasta el 28 de octubre
de este ao.
Ante este brutal atropello, un grupo de desobedientes civiles viequenses,
representativo de amplios
sectores de la sociedad, arriesgando su propia vida, ingresaron esta
madrugada a la zona de tiro con el fin
de obstaculizar las maniobras militares. Hasta el momento (11:50 am,
hora local) no han sido arrestados.
Hacemos un llamado URGENTE a la comunidad mundial para denunciar esta
grave situacin. Pedimos a
los nacionales de los pases envueltos en estas maniobras a
protestar por la participacin de sus militares
en suelo viequense, especficamente a Canad, Francia,
Dinamarca, Alemania y el Reino Unido. En
cualquier lugar del mundo vayan a las embajadas o consulados de estos
pases y protesten con piquetes y
manifestaciones.
NO A LA INTERNACIONALIZACION DE LA MUERTE EN VIEQUES!
Elas Adasme
Desde San Juan de Puerto Rico.
PD: Por favor, difundan este mensaje a todos los medios de comunicacin
posible. El pueblo viequense se
los agradecer.

Convocatoria Accin Urgente Mail Art

"Postales por Vieques"
Desde 1940, la isla puertorriquea de Vieques ha sido usada como
campo de tiro y
entrenamiento de tropas de la Marina de Guerra de Estados Unidos. Hasta
el da de hoy han
transcurrido 60 aos de continuos bombardeos y prcticas
militares que han dejado como
secuela terrenos contaminados, una alta incidencia de cncer
y un denigrante subdesarrollo en
todos los niveles entre la poblacin viequense. S, aunque
le resulte dificil de creer, Vieques
est habitada y su poblacin fu "reubicada" en
medio de los dos extremos de la Isla, reas
donde la Marina practica con todo tipo de municiones: bombas de alto
calibre, napalm, agente
naranja (usado en Vietnam) y balas revestidas de uranio, adems
de rentar los terrenos a otras
instituciones militares como el Pentgono y a ejrcitos
de pases latinoamericanos y europeos.
Desde Vieques sali la invasin a Repblica Dominicana
en 1965, la invasin a Grenada y
Panam en los ochenta, las tropas para el Golfo Prsico
en 1991 y los aviones que
bombardearon Yugoeslavia en 1999 .
Pero el pueblo viequense y la gran mayora de los puertorriqueos
han dicho Basta Ya! En
abril de 1999, una bomba de la Marina mat al viequense David
Sanes y desde entonces la
lucha por sacar a la Marina de Vieques ha arreciado. Durante un ao,
cientos de
"desobedientes civiles" incluyendo lderes polticos,
religiosos y comunitarios, en forma
pacfica invadieron los terrenos restringidos y retaron a las
autoridades estadounidenses,
exigiendo en su mensaje lo que por derecho natural y moral les corresponde:
Paz para
Vieques! El da 4 de mayo de 2000, el Gobierno de los Estados
Unidos en crasa violacin a
los derechos humanos y civiles de todo ciudadano, procedi a
desalojar los campamentos,
arrestando a los desobedientes civiles, para permitirle a la Marina,
reanudar sus prcticas
blicas.
Esta lucha no termina ah. Mltiples estrategias se estn
desarrollando. Como colectivo
internacional de Mail Art hacemos un llamado URGENTE a todos los artistas,
mail-artistas,
poetas visuales y a todo aquel que solidarice con esta causa, a participar
en un gran envo de
postales de arte dirigidas al Presidente de los Estados Unidos, para
hacerle sentir nuestra
indignacin por el injusto atropello que sufren los habitantes
de Vieques y el pueblo
puertorriqueo en general. Recuerde utilizar la consigna PAZ
PARA VIEQUES!
AU MA + Gom@ es una organizacin independiente, horizontal y
no jerrquica de artistas
especializados en el Mail Art que desde varios pases en dos
continentes, trabaja con el
objetivo de la defensa de los Derechos Humanos y la solucin
de problemas sociales o
