La nueva inquisición, los guardianes de la moral...

De eldiario.es este estupendo y necesario artículo de Mónica Zas Marcos y Cristina Armunia Berges...

*****************

"Mi responsabilidad es defender la libertad del arte", decía Egon Schiele (1890-1918). Lo que no imaginaba el joven pintor es que aquella loable intención seguiría estando amenazada cien años después de su muerte. El aprendiz de Gustav Klimt mostró una predilección por el erotismo desde sus primeras pinceladas, algo que partió en dos a la burguesía decimonónica europea.

Le amaban en secreto o le consideraban un depravado sexual. E incluso ambas. Pero parece que aquel pudor ante la representación artística de los genitales no entiende de siglos. Este año, el del centenario del siècle vienés, más conocido como Sezession, la capital austriaca se inundará de exposiciones con los desnudos de Egon Schiele a la cabeza. La campaña ha sido tan exitosa que varios países de Europa han accedido a publicitarla en sus ciudades. Varios, menos dos: Alemania y Reino Unido.

Ambos territorios se han negado a llenar sus muros y vallas con enormes imágenes de las piezas más sexuales del artista. Su argumento es que se tratan de "pinturas pornográficas" y que no consideran "ético mostrar genitales públicamente". De todas formas, la oficina de Turismo de Viena se ha salido con la suya.

Los carteles de Egon Schiele ya cubren los andenes del metro de Londres o Berlín, eso sí, con una banda de la vergüenza en la que se lee: "Lo siento, tiene 100 años pero sigue siendo demasiado atrevido para hoy", junto al hashtag #ToArtItsFreedom (para el arte, es libertad).

How do you feel about nude paintings in public spaces? What do you think?

Con esta censura, la línea que separa el rechazo ante la cosificación del cuerpo femenino y el puritanismo se desvanece. Algunos consideran la prohibición a Schiele como una metáfora de lo molesto que aún resulta en la actualidad el sexo de la mujer. Sin embargo, usar como baluarte feminista a un hombre que llegó a estar en la cárcel por escándalos sexuales puede tener sus riesgos, sobre todo cuando la historia y las biografías cumplen su labor.

Desfile militar aceptable



Nunca pensé que aquí saldría algún día un desfile militar, pero mira tú que al final sí... ¿Quién lo diría?

Trumpordeón



Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, fellow Americans and people of the world – thank you.

We the citizens of America have now joined a great national effort to rebuild our county and restore its promise for all our people.

Together we will determine the course of America for many, many years to come.

Together we will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.

Every four years we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power.

And we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent, thank you.

Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning because today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another – but transferring it from Washington DC and giving it back to you the people.

For too long a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered but the jobs left and the factories closed.

The establishment protected itself but not the citizens of our country.

Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been your triumphs. While they have celebrated there has been little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

That all changes starting right here and right now because this moment is your moment. It belongs to you. It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America today.

This is your day.

Art Attack...

Vermibus - Unveiling Beauty from Vermibus on Vimeo.

As benchmark events in the fashion industry, Fashion Weeks produce and dictate specific standards of aesthetics and beauty, and market them via their advertising: one more strategy in the globalisation of Western consumer culture.
The beauty-cult is as firmly established on the catwalks of every Fashion Week as it is in the advertising they generate. The fashion industry uses bodies as tools in order to sell goods and encourage consumption. The image of the body in advertising materials constrains and oppresses an indi- vidual’s true beauty, even as it conceals it behind the rhetoric of its own liberation.

In its new project, Unveiling Beauty, Vermibus re ected on this use of the body, and on standards of beauty imposed from above, within the framework of the Fashion Week circuit, via a series of public interventions.

Unveiling Beauty, as the name suggests, reveals the beauty that lies hidden behind the make-up and the photographic retouching that are used both within the fashion industry and in the way it publically stages itself via advertising.

In September 2015, Vermibus has followed the route of the most in uential Fashion Weeks, travelling to New York, London, Milan and Paris. And he analysed and revealed the true beauty that was hidden behind the various campaigns that are imposed on the public spaces of these cities.
