Marina Abramovic meets Ulay
“Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again. at her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing it and this is what happened.”
“En los años 70, Marina Abramovic mantuvo una intensa historia de amor con Ulay. Pasaron 5 años viviendo en una furgoneta realizando toda clase de performances. En 1988, cuando su relación ya no daba para más, decidieron recorrer la Gran Muralla China, empezando cada uno de un lado, para encontrarse en el medio, abrazarse y no volver a verse nunca más. En 2010 el MoMa de Nueva York dedicó una retrospectiva a su obra. Dentro de la misma, Marina compartía un minuto en silencio con cada extraño que se sentaba frente a ella. Ulay llegó sin que ella lo supiera, y esto fue lo que pasó”
COLOR REVOLUTION
In collaboration with Amnesty International and “Color Revolution”, A.Signl from the Captain Borderline crew recently completed this mural in Cologne, Germany to point out the human rights violations in China.
The interesting mural is reminiscent of a photo that was taken during the massacre at the Tiananmen Square in 1989. If you are in the neighbourhood, this new mural can be seen on Vogelsanger Str. 283 in Cologne.[via: streetartnews]
Miraculous
In a complicated room, I put my ear to the wall, listening in, but
don’t hear anything stirring in the neighbor’s home next door.
Then suddenly I hear someone next door with an ear to the wall
as well. Quickly I pull my ear back, sure to behave like an
upright and proper man.
