Interesting quotes

Allan Kaprow's ''Environments''. In 1958 at New York's Hansa Gallery.
''Notes on the creation of Total Art.''

'In the present exhibition we do not come to look at things. We simply enter, are surrounded, and become part of what surrounds us, passively or actively according to our talents for 'engagement', in much the same way that we have moved out of the totality of the street or our home where we also played a part.'

'What happens when nothing happens?' Paul Virilio interview on Georges Perec 2001

Italo Calvino 'the lightness of thoughtfulness [that] can make frivolity seem dull and heavy.'

Leon Ferrari

Ferrari continued on to have one man shows in Argentina and to raise criticism from the church and newspapers through his sarcastic religious and political works such as The Impregnating Tree (the first to openly criticize Christianity). In 2000 Ferarri’s exhibition of Infiernos e Idolatrias (Hells and Idolatries) at the Latin American Institute of Co-operation protested against human and divine tortures. This provoked Catholic groups into sending tear gas grenades into the building. In 2004, Ferrari had a retrospective at the Recoleta Cultural Centre, which was called blasphemous by Archbishop Bergoglio and was closed down and reopened by the authorities.
