Red And White Cloth Checkered Tablecloths

The Influencers





Well rogue midmorning retweet something you do for the CCCB, you look at the link and found it curious, and then you see that this is one of the festival activities The Influencers , a festival of unconventional art, entertainment and radical guerrillas communication. Or so they say, and with that title is cool, nothing else, but in Barcelona if you do a festival of something and not say a good subtitle you're nobody ...

Well one of the actions was a secret dinner in a prohibited place for little people, curious and very radical, in the end we see that they had to plan b by the security officer and police ...

In order that what we, as good weather, we decided to walk around after gigs and go see another action, it was the knit-graffiti, or graffiti were going to do with wool, and as it seemed a curious thing, as we shall see, and Corominas there in the plaza behind the CCCB, it took a bit of wool and there for a while we started to weave with your hands, woven strips which are then used to form words with the neighbors in Poble Sec, but it will be Saturday, and we'll be busy ... Very funny how finger weaving, a bit like when we made bracelets scooby-doo plastic thread 80. And stupidity is quiet in the square weaving with the fingers, as the truth that the sea of \u200b\u200brelaxing and well these work in an artistic action, I'm an artist!

There we learned that the action is part of The Influencers festival and then there are talks, the first with the artist who has taught us to knit, and curiosity, the lobby of the CCCB to listen to the talks, first Cat Mazza, an American who is dedicated to making woven microrevoluciones activist art, which we do things woven and used for industrial action, such as making a giant blanket with the logo of Nike, made of squares knitted by people from all the world to protest the slave-making brand. Or make masks and send to the senators the USA to protest the war. Very curious.

The other speaker of the night was Janez Jansa , or one of the Janez Jansa there, because everybody can be Janez Jansa. Prime Minister Janez Jansa of Slovenia was back in 2007. But they are also three artists from that country who first joined the party of Prime Minister, very right, and to receive the welcome letter as Janez Jansa were dismissed with a "the more we, before we achieve our objectives." Decided to take at face value that slogan, and as artistic action the three legally changed the name to Janez Jansa and Janez Jansa there are three more. With that entails, its DNIS, passports, birth leaves. This made a name Readymade, which is titled to their action as they came to auction the passports as an artistic object with the dilemma of an official auction. Very funny thing, and the controversy in the press and critics of art, but makes you wonder about the personality and such. Recommended Websites passed by and take a look, because the topic is pretty funny. Also consider changing the name of Silvio Berlusconi ...

So without much thought we were well entertained on Thursday evening, noses and see who finds a moment to make the purchase ...

The previous day also went for a walk, between signature and signature we pass by to see Virreina Expo 1979 a monument to radical moments. Expo based on photos of the year focusing on radical events of that time, Nicaragua's revolution, Khomeini in Iran, and local issues of a city that came out of a dictatorship, I suppose like the juxtaposition of modern times has its being, but of these expos have to read further to catch the idea, and we had not given ratillo for much. But hey curious, as in any year can make things that make times.
