Czech photographer Miroslav Tichý was a bum and a voyeur. He made his own camera and darkroom equipment from trash. So, all his pictures are fuzzy. But that's all so weird and interesting that now we can consider it art. Tichý is truly one of the great ‘finds' of an unknown artists who worked on the outside edges of the art world. Following the communist takeover Tichý spent some eight years in prison camps and jails for no particular reason other than he was ‘different' and was considered subversive. Upon his release in the early 70's, Tichý wandered his small town in rags, pursuing his obsession as an artist with the female form by photographing in the streets, shops and parks with cameras he made from tin cans, childrens spectacle lenses and other junk he found on the street. He would return home each day to make prints on equally primitive equipment, making only one print from the negatives he selected.



He stole intimate glimpses of his subjects through windows and the fences of swimming pools as well as in the streets, sometimes finding himself in trouble with the police. ,He would often draw intricately on each print in pencil embellishing the images with his lines or reworking them in other ways, Tichý would also sometimes include a card frame around the prints and decorate those too.



The work which might to the casual viewer, simply appear to be intrusive voyeurism, takes on a melancholic and poetic quality. They are exquisitely produced small objects of obsession, which have no equal. He produced work - not for others, but solely for himself without any regard for exhibiting or selling the work to others. Tichý's pictures were only known to a few until last July, where he won the 'New Discovery Award' at Arles. An exhibition of his work was also shown at the Kunsthaus Zûrih in September 2005, and was one of the most curious and perhaps controversial photographic events of 2005. in sexoteric

MARCO EVARISTTI


Artista produz almôndegas feitas com sua gordura. E vende por US$ 4.390
Da Redação
O artista chileno-dinamarquês Marco Evaristti montou uma instalação em uma galeria de Aalborg, na Dinamarca, na qual vende cerca de dez almôndegas feitas com sua própria gordura e embaladas com sua foto. A unidade custa US$ 4.390 (por volta de R$ 9.400).Evaristti aproveitou a gordura restante de uma lipoaspiração que fez para preparar almôndegas que foram comidas em um "happening".Com o restante, o artista colocou em vasilhas e batizou o produto de "Polpette al grasso di Marco" (almôndegas com a gordura de Marco), e montou uma instalação com neon que está atualmente em Aalborg."Quanto mais alteramos nosso corpo, mais nos afastamos de Deus. Queremos ser o homem ideal, mas não temos nenhuma cultura de preservar a imagem divina de nós mesmos", disse o artista à rede de televisão pública "DR".Há vários anos, Evaristti montou uma instalação na qual os visitantes podiam matar peixes apertando o botão de liquidificadores onde os animais estavam, e que foi exposta, entre outros, no Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Santiago do Chile. O Editor do UOL Tablóide não tem estômago para certos tipos de arte. Nem para certos tipos de almôndegas.
