This agreement is signed, it can be read curatorial committee functions is a fait accompli: Tamayo


This agreement is signed, it can be read curatorial committee functions is a fait accompli: Tamayo Biennial is for a curatorial committee. The story is short and explosive. Directorate of Visual the stamp act Arts in Fine Arts, in charge of the licensed Magdalena Zavala, conducted several meetings with artists, curators, gallery the stamp act owners, critics, etc., to present a powerpoint brief in reporting that the Biennial would be organized and led by a curatorial committee "as that of Venice." This curatorial committee will decide which artists invited to participate, go to their workshops to "analyze his work" and these artists will be those that can compete. It is a mixed regime and markings for all age groups was also accepted. the stamp act The budget is extended to 3 million pesos and three prizes are awarded 150 thousand pesos. At that meeting openly expressed my objection verbally and in writing. I summarize my ideas: there are two types of participants, some taken by the committee and others without the support of this committee makes the unequal contest from the start. That there is a shortlist of artists encourages influence peddling, just transparency. It is an unnecessary the stamp act step that other sign painters because the stamp act they are at a distinct disadvantage because they were recommended by the committee. A curatorial committee is judge and jury, has its own interests, it is unfair and abusive. These statements send to the licensed the stamp act Magdalena Zavala and he replied in a letter that thanks for comment, but they will definitely make your curatorial committee. Finally made the meeting to sign the agreements establishing rules call for the Biennial Tamayo. In this conclave I was not required. Agreement signed for the new Tamayo Biennial.
Those present unanimously accepted the new format, and Rufino the stamp act Tamayo Painting Biennale will be headed by a curatorial committee of two painters and a guardian. That included two painters are not change the situation, a group decide who participates, is an exclusive and opaque method. In this sense, to Gabriel Orozco is a painter and painting sets. This committee will be "responsible for deciding the concept of painting" it happened in 2008 and Emilio Chapela was selected with several pantones "painted". If every two years are going to be deciding what is painting, this will be subject to fads. In addition, to feed the bureaucracy and make the contest will murkier a jury of "professionals", which can also be healers, and they will decide who the winners from the curatorial preselection. Then the committee takes the artists and decide which paint is perfect. This approve Patrick Charpenel, Patricia Ortiz Monasterio OMR gallery, Arnaldo Cohen, Francisco Castro Leñero, the stamp act Teresa Cito, Carmen Cuenca and Teresa del Conde no wonder, every one who takes care of his business: he is a bag of 3 million for cultural bureaucracy the opportunity to look good with power, increasing influence, pushing its artists and curators. Pure profit. What's amazing is that sign painters Ulises Ponce de León and Juan Rulfo, and Teresa Velázquez "refrain". Thanks to these "defenders" Biennale is already finished. Next time save yourself his letters and protests, in the most serious and really affected the community the stamp act of painters, in that they gave. Tamayo Biennial Convocation published.
The call of the Biennale in a newspaper and on the bases say there is a curatorial committee and do not specify their roles, and clarify that in this text because they were so exposed and accepted by the signatories of the agreement and can read above. The lack of clarity in the call is symptomatic the stamp act of how it will work this Biennial. It's pathological obsession the stamp act with perverting a contest that is designed the stamp act to paint, which is legacy and heritage of Tamayo, the Fine Arts requirement is to protect this heritage and respect, can not do away with the artistic and libertarian mystique of the Biennale to empower the stamp act a group and follow the trends. The INBA and CONACULTA can now invent another biennial dedicated to contemporary art, have surplus human and economic resources. Publish a breakdown of the 3 million that will be spent on bureaucracy, rewards totaling a sixth of the amount. Make yourself responsible for this outrage the stamp act to the credibility and transparency of the Biennale the stamp act and unequal treatment they will receive thousands of painters. The brave signatories are partying, it's the stamp act official that Tamayo Biennial will be for a group favoritism and partiality are already the stamp act legal. This, as you see, it approved painters. Bravo!
Avelina and fucked me as an artist, Do the painters who signed, who they represent? Pablito?, Tere and Ulis
