stopBanque // run with your money, run for your life

Nik bezala, agian ez duzu bankuan diru askorik izango, baina Abenduak 7an denok diru guztia, daukaguna daukagula, kontutik ateratzen badugu, zerbait aldatzen hasteko aukera litzateke agian.

nahaspilak argia dakar (quina gràcia)

Nahasmena hil honetako Grazia aldizkariak dakarrena. Hizkuntza ikasketen inguruko erreportai batetan parte hartzeko eskatu zidaten eta baietz esan nien. Euskaraz eta gazteleraz 頑張って nola esaten den galdetu zidaten eta eskatu bezala esan nien. Baina nahastu egin dira. Nahastu egin dira aldizkarikoak eta ziurrenik nahastuko dituzte gaztelera ikasten ari diren japoniar gixajoak. Aldizkari hau irakurtzen dutenak behintzat bai, lehen 'Animo' edo 'Adelante' zena, aurrerantzean 'Aurrera bolie' bait da. 'Eutsi' ere eman nien, baina dirudienez aukeran 'Aurrera bolie' hobe iruditu zitzaien, ahozkatzeko errazago akaso.

Bestalde, nazionalitatea azaltzen dutenean, 'euskal estatu autonomo'ko euskalduna naizela eta parentesi artean 'gaur eguneko Espainia' diote. Hiru inplikazio ditu honek, bata, espainiar edo frantziar hiritartasunetik at euskal hiritarasuna aitortzen dutela Japonian, aldizkari hau argitaratzen dutenek bederen. Bigarrena, 'gaur eguneko Espainia' badiote, aurreko Espainian ez geundela edo etorkizunekoan egongo ez garela naturaltasunez onartzen da. Eta hirugarrena, 'gaur egungo Espainia'ko euskaldunak existitzen badira, bestelakoak ere badirela, hots, Frantziakoak. Haiek ere 'gaur egunekoak' ote?

employee of the day, part 2

Outro que rexeita un premio e os cartos oficiais por coherencia. E se estamos ante unha nova tendencia?

The Galician writer Agustin Fernandez Paz rejects the Galician Culture Award -and the cash- given to him by the Galician government as a response to this government being the first one in history to pass laws against the Galician language. Just like Santiago Sierra a few days ago, seems like some artists are following their beliefs and not the institutional acknowledgment and money that come with these otherwise thought of as 'prestigious' awards. Good for them, we all know it is not an easy thing to do.

The story of another Galician writer regarding highly regarded awards, the Spanish language literature Nobel Prize Camilo Jose Cela, is very well known. He said the Cervantes Award -considered to be the Spanish Literature Nobel- was covered in shit, meaning it had no value, only to run and grab it when it was given to him.

People like Agustin Fernandez Paz or Santiago Sierra give us all a lesson, although the latter's move might be more of a part on his art speech. Nevertheless, many artists change their speech for 30,000 euro. He didn't, nor has Fernandez Paz.

Hodei hau begiratu. Ondo begiratu. Eta gogoratu. Ibai ondoan eguzkitan bazkaldu nahi nuen gaur baina hodei hau agertu, ez dakit nondik agertu ere, eguzkia eta nire artean jarri eta ez da denbora osoan mugitu. Heldu bezala aldegingo zuela uste nuen baina usteak erdia ustel, ez da mugitu. Ez da ezer mugitu. Begiratu beraz hodeia. Eta gogoratu. Ikusten baduzue zeuen bazkari eguzkitsuarenak egin du.

Silver Cruise by Röyksopp had no lyrics until Jan Niemand showed us, once again, he has no shame nor respect for anything. Enjoy it if you can, like it if you like, love it if you must.

  Silver Cruise (by Röyksopp) by Jan Niemand

Silver Cruise
Wishing at stars, wishing it all, wishing to fall
Wanting to have what I have not
Well, I do not have what you've got

I can't control for whom I fall
I can't decide for whom I die
You can contrive my peace of mind
It's all ahead and so behind

And still we are wanting it all, wishing to fall
And something more, a silver cruise for me and you

Employee of the Day is Santiago Sierra, for not accepting the National Art Award and its 30,000 euros given to him by the Spanish government and letting the Spanish Culture Minister, Angeles Gonzalez-Sinde, know so:

Dear Ms. Gonzalez-Sinde

I am grateful to the art professionals that remembered and evaluated me in the way they have done. However, in my opinion, the awards are given to who has done a service, such as an employee of the month.It is my wish to express at this time that art has given me a freedom that I am not prepared to resign from. Consequently, my common sense compels me to reject the award. This award manipulates the prestige of the winner on behalf of the state . A state that cries out for legitimation while resigning on the mandate to work for the common good regardless of which party occupies power. A state participating in an insane war together with a criminal empire. A state that happily donates public money to the banks. A state committed to the dismantling of the welfare state for the benefit of international and local minorities.The state is not we all. The state is you and your friends. Therefore, don't count me among them, because I am a serious artist. No, sirs and madames, Global Tour.Health and freedom!

Santiago Sierra
