Slow Object 04, 1998
‘Slow Object 04’ is close-up video and it shows a delicate manipulation of an ordinary round rubber band bobbing up and down in slow motion. As if the movement of the disc and the hand takes place in an aquarium, the object appears to be suspended as escaping Earth’s gravity: it slightly deforms and it rarely returns to the initial point. By avoiding camera movements and sound, the artist’s hand mediates the intelligibility of the surrounding world. In this way, Dekyndt guides the viewer to focus into a micro-phenomenon, a dreamy reality where an insignificant object - ruled by unknown forces – leads us to think about our contingent world.
”if she had lived, I would have said: ‘slow down, you’re too important. life teaches you really how to live it… if you could live long enough.’”

Rhythm 0 (1974) by Marina Abramovic
“This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her. She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted. Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly. “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.” This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.” This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.”

By now I guess you know the iconic Frida Kahlo, an exceptional artist who was bisexual, you know details about her life, her strong ideals and her incredible art, but not a lot of people outside Mexico know about Chavela Vargas, who was not only the most famous lover of the painter but also a woman and artist who clearly marked a before and after in the mexican and latin music scene and culture. Chavela Vargas was born in 1919 in Costa Rica, at the age of 14 she abandoned her homeland and went to seek refuge in Mexico. From Ava Gardner to Maria Felix to ELizabeth Taylor, the amount of women who couldn’t resist her is long and has created fascination and scandalized conservative minds. A woman so unapologetic, she was proud of being lesbian, she always shared the stories of her love and sexual conquests, her music was so raw and emotional, her music was so brutally honest, she always sang about the love between women, she was passionate and very intense, she threw herself out of a window once ‘cause she couldn’t stand a heart break, she declined a grammy once ‘cause she was not interested in thanking the music industry, an industry she had to fight with all her career due to her preferences. She is an iconic musician and one of the most important representatives of Mexican traditional music, Mexico embraced her as one of her daughters and few musicians have put the name of Mexico and its music so high. Her romance with Frida Kahlo is probably the most famous lesbian romance in Mexican Culture, Frida once stated she only lived for her and Diego, their love has inspired and fascinated generations, but Chavela’s legacy goes beyond that, she was a femminist, an outspoken defensor of gay rights, she reigned in a genre that was supposed to be reserved for men, a woman who lived way beyond her time.
The big trouble with dumb bastards is that they are too dumb to believe there is such a thing as being smart.
