Despite the class descriptions mobilized by teal, can another political imagery be invoked, the color now doing the work that red once did? To conjure forty women crossing a border under the cover of teal colored smoke bombs seems more music video or fashion shoot. The forty women holding forty teal-colored guns generated by a plastic printer, will kill the poachers. Their long, milk colored legs are covered in thick black down. The beauty of their resistance becomes entangled in the physical beauty of the forest, their bodies, and their accoutrements. Commerce shadows, and the visual dimension of heir resistance is devoured and repurposed. So there is the work of resistance, and then their is the work of resisting the aestheticization of the resistance. After a color’s initial revolutionary life is terminated by commodification, can yet another iteration emerge, incorporeal and purified? Since teal has been repurposed, what can it engender?

I liked the way sick people always smiled at the flowers, and I even liked setting up the sprays of flowers around the coffins with dead people in them-which is probably why I felt like I had died and gone to heaven when we moved to California. Because there, at the flower shop, as in those Saturday-morning cartoons, color always occurred in league with and in opposition to suffering, negation, and death.

Dave Hickey “Air Guitar” _________________________________________"Thus, when color signifies anything, it always signifies, as well, a respite from language and history-a position from which we may contemplate absence and death in the paradise of the moment-as we kids in Santa Monica contemplated the death of puppies in the embrace of cartoon rainbows.”
