mini d.

Estaba enseñándole a mi compañero de piso el vídeo de Bas Jan Ader "I'm too sad to tell you" cuando youtube me llevó a Pipilotti Rist. Me acordé de su versión de Happiness i a warm gun, ella desnuda, con las tetitas fuera saltando.






Volví a ver el video que ha hecho Anish Kapoor en apoyo a Ai Weiwei y me recordó lo mucho que quiero mi propio sky mirror.

Vuelvo a Marina y me despido de la noche.

El pañuelo es un mundo.

El miércoles tenía un bloqueo tremendo. Descubrí al primer hombre por recomendaciones de Lastfm. Este me hizo a derivar a Marble Sounds, el video me dio la patadita en el culo que necesitaba.

Tres in a row: Sontag me asesina.

Hoy soñado que me llevaban en helicóptero al caribe, alguien que se suponía ser mi marido. Me iba acercando y yo en un punto determinado decidí que tenía que saltar. Salté al mar, que se veía exactamente como el satélite del google maps. Aparentemente era un suicidio. Aunque sobrevivía y sufría los regaños de todos. "¿En qué estabas pensando?" me preguntaban. Yo contestaba que se veía muy cerquita y que necesitaba bañarme en el Caribe. Unos minutos antes había soñado que estaba protegida por un cartel de drogas, y que no me pasaría nada nunca porque tenía muchos guardaespaldas. El tercer sueño lo tuve clarisimo y me enamoraba de una mujer que estaba al otro lado de la calle, que por cierto era la calle Bailén.

Estimado servicio de extranjería español: podréis prohibirme la salida de España, pero no podréis prohibirme que salga del territorio tres veces seguida en un día.

DERIVA I.

“Do you guys use special bycicles when you jump into the water like this?” Bas Jan Ader: Una obra en tres caídas. Primera caída: Ader se avienta en bicicleta a un canal en la Ciudad de Ámsterdam. Ader se cuelga de un árbol, se sostiene por el tiempo máximo que aguanta, hasta que termina por caer en un río. Ader se sube a la azotea de su casa, rueda por el techo inclinado y cae al suelo; y así, siguen las caídas, una tras otra, en la calle, en el bosque, en el agua. Bas Jan Ader plantea la caída como una metáfora existencialista. El ser humano, que es libre por naturaleza, utiliza esa libertad para provocar su propia caída y con ella caen ideologías, historias, tradiciones y hasta el alma misma. Metáforas existencialistas. Cuando Leía a Sartre en su “Nausea” me hacía entender cosas que estaba viviendo. No utiliz a metáforas, al menos no demasiado obvias. Lo obvio era lo dificil que me resultaba esquivar a las personas que me recomendaba que no leyese ese libro. Me resultaba insoportable que me viera atacada así por llevarlo en mis manos. No leer nos hace más felices quizá? Tengo mis dudas porque si siento que si leo me pregunto miles de cosas más a lo que hago de normal. Es el síndrome del intelectual inútil. Alfredo Jaar, artista chileno propuso esta pregunta. Todos los días pienso en la inutilidad del arte. Estamos acostumbrados a vivir en líneas prácticas, no nos gusta coger el camino más lento para ir al trabajo, porque vivimos con prisa y sin vivir. Vivimos como si alguien viviera nuestra vida. Cortazar lo dijo. “Cómo si yo fuera alguien que me está viviendo” en el capítulo 84 de Rayuela. RAYUELA. (Segunda definición del la RAE) 2. f. Juego de muchachos que consiste en sacar de varias divisiones trazadas en el suelo un tejo al que se da con un pie, llevando el otro en el aire y cuidando de no pisar las rayas y de que el tejo no se detenga en ellas. Cuidando de no pisar las rayas. Las rayas trazadas en el suelo. Las rayas en el suelo de Pollock. Pollock y su accidente, Pollock y Lee. Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Helen Frankenthaler Clement Greenberg en la playa, 14 de Julio de 1954 en Long Island, NY. Long Island NY, La isla está separada de los estados de Connecticut y Rhode Island por el canal deLong Island Sound. Al sur limita con las bahías de Great South Bay, South Oyster Bay, y Jamaica Bay, que son en realidad lagunas, y está protegida del océano Atlántico por una barrera de estrechas islas en cadena, la más notable de las cuales sea, posiblemente, Fire Island., Está protegida por el Atlántico. El Atlántico, 1975. Bas Jan Ader In search of the miraculous, “On July 9, 1975, Ader set sail from Cape Cod. Remnants of his boat were found off the shore of Ireland, but Ader was lost at sea.”

VIBES.

Raúl me dijo en el metro dos cosas que voy tomar como notes to self. "Me quedé con dos cosas de ti." Me dijo. La primera, la música, el arte más puro, ¿no?, yo estaba totalmente de acuerdo. Lo intuitivo de ella, la sensibilidad que proporciona. Los errores fueron la segunda cosa con la que se quedó. Ver cómo te ven otros desde sus diversas sensibilidades puede hacer más fácil la tarea de hallar en que esquina del cosmos estoy ahora mismo. Y hablando de errores y música. Siempre me ha fascinado este artvvork de MODERAT, la historia dándose de ostias a sí misma. ¡ideal!

NEGOCIAR.
