Case Study #24 From our new North -Turning a negative into a positive or twice around the rainbow.

Image
  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.

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...

Case Study # 26 War is Over. A sobering thought for arts activists anonymous.

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...
