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...

The ongoing violent and destructive urban insurrection that began in Chile in October 2019 was precipitated by secondary school students from the Instituto Nacional (IN). Dressed in balaclavas and jumpsuits, they launched Molotovs from the school building roof in central Santiago for a whole year before the uniform performance of storming and vandalizing Metro Stations collectively established the medium of this art of protest. A fire and brimstone Civil Disobedience with arson to disobey and crowbars and hammers to make weapons of rock for a Civil War without arms. This month, two buses have burnt in front of secondary schools, a Director has been assaulted and the Instituto Nacional was occupied by students yesterday. Balaclava clad, jumpsuit-wearing rioters, returned to join the school uniforms and barricade the street in central Santiago to launch Molotov bombs at a police vehicle in the performance of the art of the right to protest. This month at the Venice Biennale (curated unde...

  The last interview with Chilean Artist, Lotty Rosenfeld (1943-2020) in Art Review (2020) succinctly summarizes the Cultural Industry's distortion and justification for Leftwing violence and destruction through art activism. If you don't know anything about the reality in Chile, read this introduction and tell me if your prejudices have been confirmed. "The protests that spread across Chile last year (2019), violently and often lethally suppressed by the police and army, were sparked by a rise in fares on Santiago public transport. This issue was a pretext for expressing long-simmering resentment towards a political system and constitution with roots in the dictatorship years of Augusto Pinochet, together with an underlying fury at a pervasive inequality that had allowed a tiny elite to control one-third of the country’s wealth" I have made a little homage, not to Lotty Rosenfeld (RIP), but to all art activists who confuse life with art. It is based on Rosenfeld'...

The Venice Biennale is irrelevant when life is not art, it's simply part of an unwinnable war. Europe and the United States will not defend Ukraine, they can't. No one will defend Chile, they don't even think there is an issue according to the Banal Biennales of the Free World.

TODAY: Irene Morales street (named after the 19C war heroine), with street art honoring the site of the fallen one of the urban insurrection, Mauricio Fredes. Looks like Dracula's themed restaurant. YESTERYEAR: volunteer first-aid workers, washing down Primera Linea goons of tear gas residue. The Goons then rush out again, like lemmings, across Alameda to attack the Police with the Art of Protest. Washed down by water cannons and tear gas by Police. Repeat, ad infinitum as the New Friday Night Traditional Protest. A weekly habit of the right to protest. The cause of the death of the fallen one fell into a hole collectively created and in which Mauricio Fredes was electrocuted and drowned. 1 of the 27 people who died for this cause, all as muses for this art of protest. Lest we forget. What?

The Violeta Parra Museum was attacked with fire and rock three times in January and February 2020, Ground Zero. Violeta Parra's daughter is the custodian of the collection for this purpose-built public museum that opened in 2015. In May 2020 the daughter, Isabel, withdrew all of her Mother's art and music, permanently closing the museum. This was not because of the danger of arson. Isabel said that the public museum built for her Mother's life's works was too ostentatious. Her Mother's things would not return and were redistributed to more supporting institutions. Further, at the time she disagreed with the public programming during the urban insurrection that has created the charred carcass as the architectural remains left on site. She thought the museum could have been more like the GAM (Gabriela Mistral Centre for Art, Culture and People) who gave its all in support of the just social cause - Constitutional partisan conferences, billboard facade as open air muse...

The Map is not the territory. Only tourists need maps. Before the map of Australia was declared a Federated Nation, in 1886 the Temperance league in the colony of South Australia was founded. The league grew to have 39 departments including one for Aborigines, factories, legislation and petitions, narcotics, peace and arbitration, prison work, pure literature and art, suffrage, unfermented wine and work among barmaids. In addition to combatting alcoholism as the group’s first objective, because it often led to violence, including sexual violence, against women and children, they were instrumental in the women’s suffrage movement and the Great Petition, which has recently been rewritten and scrolled. Australia was the first country in the world to have the right for most women to vote and stand for parliament. Right-wing women are viewed by some as an “oft-neglected subject … an important component in understanding the many racist, fascist, and anti-feminist movements of the 20th centu...

A brief walk around Ground Zero, Santiago de Chile this Easter Weekend 2022 illustrates President Boric's new public policy to identify New Sites of New Memory. This heritage and public space policy is supported by leading curators, academics, historians, and other journalists. Sebastian Gray, the former President of the National College of Architects 2013-2015 and former President of the National Council of Arts and Culture 2015-2019 said in an opinion Tweet in 2020 that the former President Sebastian Piñera should have been taken to the guillotine in a public square. Francisco Brugnoli, the current Director of the Museum of Contemporary Art situated on the perimeter of Ground Zero, said in 2021 in a media commentary that the destruction of Plaza Baquedano was a "Community Action". The College of Architects headquarters is located in the early 20C building designed by Chile's Gaudí - Lucian Kulczewski (1896-1972). The building, situated in Alameda, Ground Zero, is st...

I was wrong. There was a new Traditional Protest of the Left in Plaza Baquedano on Good Friday, but this was purely artistic. Semana Santa (the week of Easter) was a 7 day Marxist religious ceremony that managed to merge ANTIFA’s new Constitution in Chile with the struggle against the Zionist Conspiracy. Global Left-Wing Solidarity has found its new home and it’s a hole in the ground called Ground Zero. Daniel Jadue was in Venezuela during Semana Santa, embracing his Marxist God's son, President Maduro. They both exposed the State Terrorism of 30 years of Democracy in Chile by comparison to Venezuela's declaration of the Human RIght to the lowest common denominator of poverty of thought. Daniel Jadue is the Communist Mayor of Recoleta (Santiago) and was the other Presidential candidate in President Gabriel Boric’s coalition of former University Student Protest Leaders and the Chilean Communist Party: Apruebo Dignidad. El Pueblo chose the Student Protest Leader above Stalinist J...

Since President Boric was elected in December 2021, this Friday was one of only three Fridays during which the traditional, now habitual, violence, destruction, assault, looting, and arson did not occur in Plaza Baquedano. It was a Good Friday for Marxism. The other two Marxist observed Fridays were Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Even left-wing fascists need holidays and to welcome a new year of violence by taking traditional breaks in their weekly routine. Here's a historic photo of Ground Zero as a work in progress, 2020

The first of Guzman's trilogy "The Battle for Chile" opens in 1973, 6 months before the Golpe Estado, with an election in which the Confederation of Democracy won the majority of seats in both houses against Allende's Popular Unity coalition. This continuing minority defeat is called a victory in that Allende's party gained a couple of seats but the fraud allegation of between 200-300 thousand newly registered voters unaccounted for is not questioned. Before the election result, one person interviewed in Plaza Baquedano said it was a choice between Marxism and Freedom. Another said that the opposition will win. The interviewer asked all the Right of Centre Citizens if they believed in elections? Of the Allende supporters, the interviewer calls them all compañero and asks who will win? They all answer Socialism and the fight. He doesn't ask them if they believe in elections, the constitution, or any other institutions of democracy. When we were in Plaza Baqueda...

  The Battle of Arts and Humanities. Archive 2016-2019. Articles, statements, and documents around an academic research policy (2020). The editors open with the gendered neutral Doctoradxs, who are simultaneously Excluidxs, and show their manufactured dissent as a byproduct of Marx's contradictory circularity in full motion in 21C Chile. In the 2016-2019 maelstrom of Chile's Feminist Rebellion, Secondary School Student Civil Disobedience, and the accumulative Urban Insurrection, the articles, statements, and documents in this publication were gathered. This 2020 written attack from within, on, and with the Cultural Capital of David Harvey's accumulative dispossession of Chilean University Education. It isn't ironic, it's Gramsci 101 as a full degree and postgraduate study. The unprecedented number of university students taught by these academics were born in the return to democracy of 1990. 70% of the student places are for the first-in-the-family member to enter hi...
