A la izquierda del colibrí (Jorge Reyes y Antonio Zepeda)

Recién escindido de la banda Chac Mool, Jorge Reyes presentó su primera producción musical al lado del destacado músico Antonio Zepeda. La influencia del rock progresivo es patente en algunos temas. Antonio, experto en instrumentos y música prehispánica, viene a complementar el trabajo de Reyes. A la izquierda del Colibrí, el tema que da nombre al álbum, es en sí novedoso: una especie de fusión electrónica rock con música prehispánica, con un texto creado… [+]

Holy Bible (Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin)

‘Right from the start, almost every appearance he made was catastrophic … catastrophe is his means of operation, and his central instrument of governance.’ – Adi Ophir For their version of the Holy Bible, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin mined the Archive of Modern Conflict with philosopher Adi Ophir’s central tenet in mind: that God reveals himself predominantly through catastrophe. The format of Broomberg and Chanarin’s illustrated Holy Bible mimics both… [+]

Beweiße (Jakob Mohr)

The psychiatrist Hans Prinzhorn began collecting for his famous Museum of Pathological Art the same year that Tausk published his essay “On the origin of the ‘Influencing Machine’ in Schizophrenia” (within a year Prinzhorn had acquired forty-five hundred works, which are currently housed in the Psychiatric University Hospital in Heidelberg, Germany). One of these images illustrates an Influencing Machine in strikingly graphic form. The artist was Jakob Mohr, a farmer… [+]

Birth Project (Judy Chicago)

Judy Chicago collaborated with more than 150 needleworkers during the Birth Project (1980-85) to create dozens of images combining painting and needlework that celebrate various aspects of the birth process; from the painful to the mythical.

Once Upon A Time In Shaolin (Wu-Tan Clan)

Wu-Tang spent six years recording the 31-track double album, which was packaged in a handmade silver and nickel case.

Manifiesto de la mujer futurista (Valentine de Saint-Point)

Queremos glorificar la guerra –única higiene del mundo– el militarismo, el patriotismo, el gesto destructor de los libertarios, las bellas ideas por las cuales se muere y el desprecio de la mujer. F. T. Marinetti – Manifiesto futurista La humanidad es mediocre. La mayoría de las mujeres no son ni superiores ni inferiores a la mayoría de los hombres. Son iguales. Todos merecen el mismo desprecio.

We Say Revolution (Beatriz Preciado)

It seems that the old gurus of colonial Europe are bent on wanting to explain to the activists of the Occupy, Indignados, dis-trans-queer-lesbian-intersex and post-porn movements that we cannot be revolutionary because we have no ideology. They say ‘ideology’ exactly like my mother said ‘husband’. Well, we need neither ideologies nor husbands. We, new feminists, need no husbands because we are not women. We need no ideologies because we are not a… [+]

La voz humana (María Ruido)

El silencio material. El lenguaje como territorio de debate / el cuerpo como generador de discurso (después de algunos años…) La voz humana, videoacción realizada en 1997, es un trabajo sobre la violencia del lenguaje, sobre la utilización pública de la palabra y sobre la operatividad de los discursos construidos bajo premisas no consensuadas sino impuestas. Tomando como punto de partida un fragmento del libro de Miguel Cereceda «El origen… [+]
