Chilean Filmmaker, Partricio Guzman (Battle for Chile fame) released his latest film at Cannes 2022 - My imaginary Country. Interviewing only women and featuring Lastesis - A Rapist in Your Path Fame - he sets about setting up the winners and losers of the latest battle fought by a people with arms, rocks, molotovs, immolation, arson, ambush and hijacking democracy. Chilean Filmmaker, Pablo Larraín, then announced his next Netflix called the Count. In this so-called black comedy, General then President then Senator, and Erimitus Head of the Armed Forces for Life, Augusto Pinochet did not die in 2005 but became a vampire and lived for 250 years. Yesterday, in front of Bellas Artes Museum, Santiago de Chile, a collective of feminist artists inflated a giant clitoris protesting the damage that the denial of pleasure has caused women for over 250 years. This temporary intervention replicates the G Spot public artwork of the permanent sculpture by Mariairis Flores, to be installed to the we

In 21C, I find myself in a situation of Fluxus after the full rehearsal dressed in Yoko's and Monica’s female attire, adorned by scissors (1964) followed by Presidential semen stains (1997). In 2015, I went to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney to touched one of Ono’s framed breasts because “War Was Over” if I wanted it to be. It didn’t say which breast to touch or which war was over while the longest US war in history raged in Afghanistan and then was lost, abandoned to pre-modern history in 2021. An Afghan rug with the twin towers was exhibited in a contemprary art magazine for the silently salivating Leftovers, post 1989, still Left after Monica’s dress sold for 2 million at auction in 2001, an odyssey of some type, coinciding with the second 9/11. Nearly, 30 years after the first September 11 1973, I was told by the Director of the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, Santiago de Chile, Francisco Brugnoli, that the destruction of the monument at the centre of that city is a “comm

When the Boric Government's Minister for Justice, Marcela Rios, was asked if the convicted double murderer by immolation was a criminal or a political prisoner, she said she wasn't qualified to say. Minister Rios could say that the Amnesty for the crimes committed since 18 October 2019, including arson, was a priority for the Chilean Government. Minister Rios closed her interview by saying that the wounds of the past can be healed with Memory, with the Truth, and with Justice. Before + After = Now, is a book of the work of Chilean artist Hernan Gana, published in 2021. It closes with his latest paintings of houses and farming equipment burning in the South. It is not a protest, it is Art because its in an Art book for sale in a reputable bookshop. Memory, the Truth, and the Minister's form of Justice can be found in most bookshops, universities, and museums.

  The NO campaign for the 1988 referendum to return Chile to Democracy won by turning a negative into a positive. The RECHAZO campaign must harness the same strategy to save Chile's Democracy. Democracy was returned to Chile in 1990 in a process prescribed in the 1980 Consitution. It is about to be hijacked. Reject the New Constitution that was extorted by the violence of Chile's Red October in 2019 and has been written by opportunistic Identitarian Ideology under the banner of Plurinationalism = Frente Amplio and the Chilean Communist Party. Vote RECHAZO September 4, 2022. This is not Art, it is Life.

Like the out-of-the-home billboard advertising, the art of protest in public space has made an unexpected comeback in the Age of Social Media and New Social Movements (post-COVID quarantine). Any discussion of this phenomenon must address the inherent violence and destruction of ANTIFA's arson the Burning Pink hammers and Smashing Statue Movement. They all inherited their discontent when Occupy's 15 minutes of fame were up and the 99% they arrogantly assumed to represent defiantly continued with Life as normal. Then, the 3.5% ambition of the Extinction - DAD's (Direct Action Democracy) Army- Rebellion by absolute minority got up onto Andy Warhol's Brillo Soapbox. Art is Life and Life is the Art of Protest in the current premodern-postmodern Transition as the Spectacle. It takes Time to see what makes History, not historical moments made up of consecutive nanoseconds of free association posing as freedom of speech. We'll look back on the current collective hysteria o

  Banksy, Without Limits, is in Chile and it costs $25 AUD to see his street art inside the Gabriela Mistral Cultural Centre for Art, Culture, and People (GAM), Santiago de Chile. Children under 8 are admitted free. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pacific, various Universities in the Cultural Capital of Australia (Melbourne) have released a post COVID book called "Let's Go Outside". I went outside last weekend to exercise my democratic right to protest and was stoned by Banky's Flower Throwers who had never given up their rocks or Molotov cocktails. Both are pictured below with the rock thrower image taken by me from the receiving end last weekend. The location of the incendiary bomb-thrower is identifiably the corner of Irene Morales and Alameda, Ground Zero from 2019. Banksy's exhibition is a perfect bookend for this free, street performance of surreal, deadly, insurrectional violence that began on18 October 2019. Banksy's real-life throwers are continu
