Sculpture of León Ferrari, Biennale 2007, Venice: Dead End of US
politics? No way out of Iraq (disaster of foreign affairs), crisis on
the US financial markets - dead end for all the conceptions of US
politics, both republican AND democratic?
comment by ScottMGS: I recently saw a bumper sticker that would go
with this: WWJB - Who would Jesus bomb?

I agree the symbolism is very strong.

Strong symbolic photo.
Can you remove the shadow of the little ropes? I think it will make the photo much tronger.
Great work you make.

I am not a political animal, I am quite ignorant mainly because of being a very non-gregarious manic depressive, who is fed up enough with babies dying in Africa of malnutrition, while we gorge ourselves into obesity & then go to weight watchers..
I watched a doc on the Iraq war, NO END IN SIGHT.
Fuck, these people who made the decisions, these are the people who we (in this case the Americans), vote into office to goven us. Donald Rumsfeld should be made to serve a tour dressed in a tutu & given water pistol.
Disbanding the army I am a total know-nothing & I was flabergasted at the ineptitude of this decision.
Human beings, DON'T underestimate our funtion to really screw things up.
Oh yeah, the pic, good symbolism.

dear am_kaiser, you wrote yesterday as a comment to the B&W-version of the jet-crucifix (deleted, because it did not reach EXPLORE):
italian culture died yesterdaY...:-(
+
and I answered (yesterday):
no, am_kaiser, only the cabaret of the politicians, trying to press a "shut-up"-hand each other on their mouths (as seen in TV yesterday) goes down 1 level, but culture is resistant... for example the yearly Biennale in Venice is adorable!
today I have to add:
thanks to the EXPLORE-team, that they presented this excellent "political art" of León Ferrari, an artist from Argentina, on EXPLORE (though it has dropped in the meantime - and though some people don't like the "mix of politics and photography"...)

This is really amazing, strong, powerful art...

This one should get both sides of the political debate going. Do I detect a little gadfly in you Frizz :-)
Unfortunately we don't see any "political art" of jihadists cutting the heads off of living human beings. Makes you wonder about the political leanings of this artist huh!? Perhaps someone will post a still of the jihadist holding up Nicholas Berg's severed head.
Frizztext (65 months ago | reply)
dear kjatexas / KEN,
a little gadfly maybe is working in every artwork - one of your pics, which is instantly amusing us is your mouse on the cheese peak:
we all have our cheese or oil or religion we try to defend; my cheese-choice (as the philosopher Immanuel KANT): the strategy of not using weapons,
- even if someone tries to steal our cheese (but my cat is very different minded: she killed many mouses already!)
