TateShots Issue 8 - Doris Salcedo

[CushionOfWealth]

Remember when traveling on the London Underground to watch out for Pick Pockets.

Even for Londoners, Pick Pocketers can be a problem; Tourists ought to watch out !

Not everyone who crosses a border suffers because of political bias, there are general perverts and other mentally ill individuals on hand to do damage to any border crossing person.

Envy and matreialism are the big problems; crossing borders, even of poor countries has the same dangers.

It is a shame that the volume level of this vt is so low, Miss Salcedo, has an accent and greater volume would make the transfer of her inspiring message easier.

Cheers.

its really cool to see an artist from my motherland making a difference in the art world.....colombian artist that is

[KEPHALLE]

saying that all art, by its nature, is political is in my opinion absolutely wrong. NOT all art has connections with politics, and it would be unfair that the "instrument" wich we use to define us as human beings would be just related to political aspects of our existence. this is just my opinion

[amberdiehexe]

apparently you missed something important in what she said, she insisted "from my point of view". Is what she thinks, not a statement of what art should be for everyone.

[KEPHALLE]

Apparently you missed my last line! so it's wrong if i express MY OWN OPINION, but it's right if D. Salcedo does so. i call this elitarism.

[amberdiehexe]

Is just perfect everyone has opinions! Especially about art. You are ok and so is Doris, both of you have your own reasons.

[afmangones]

@KEPHALLE You have a good point, but you should keep in mind that every human being is a political being: the way you construct yourself as a subject and as a person who interacts whitin society makes part of and is produced by a given political environment. Therefore avery thing that human beings create or produce has a political conexion.
