By copyrighting his property as an artwork, he has prevented oil companies from drilling on it.

Peter Von Tiesenhausen has developed artworks all over his property in northern Alberta. There’s a boat woven from sticks that is gradually being reclaimed by the land; there is a fence that he adds to each year of his life, and there are many “watching” trees, with eyes scored into their bark.

Oil interests pester him continually about drilling on his land. His repeated rebuffing of their advances lead them to move toward arbitration. They made it very clear that he only owned the top 6 inches of soil, and they had rights to anything underneath. He then, off the top of his head, threatened them that he would sue damages if they disturbed his 6 inches, for the entire property is an artwork. Any disturbance would compromise the work, and he would sue.

Immediately after that meeting, he called a lawyer (who is also an art collector) and asked if his intuitive threat would actually hold legally. The lawyer visited, saw the scope of the work on the property, and wrote a document protecting the artwork.

The oil companies have kept their distance ever since.

This is but one example of Peter’s ability to negotiate quickly on his feet, and to find solutions that defy expectations.

Dogs and the underworld. In keeping with the upcoming ceremonies of day of the dead, I thought I would talk about the role dogs play in the underworld. After you die, the soul that is in your heart travels to the underworld, a journey that lasts for years. The first obstacle is the river of Apanoayan, also known as itzxuintlan, the Place of Dogs. The soul would ask the dogs there to carry them across the river. The white dog refuses, because he does not want to get dirty, and the black dog also, because he has already swum across. Only the red dog agrees to ferry the soul. The dead are therefore buried with a sculpture of a red dog, to guide their soil to the afterlife. Here, sculptures of dogs from Colima, discovered in tombs, some of which wear human masks. The last is a photo of dog sculptures for sale at the day of the dead market, to place on the alter, here in Mexico City.
