Prose/Poetry

la calle no es una forma de arte nada

pavimento en el suelo donde los parches verdes naturales y 50 pies arbustos altos se levantaron

blancos translúcidos luces parpadeantes

Vroom Vroom fuerte ruido Vroom Bang bang bang que pasa en 87ª

no se puede estar aquí esta es característica ilegal, que está traspasar manos los colocan en la parte superior de la cabeza .... que se encuentran bajo arresto ... usted tiene el derecho ..

Yo no hice nada! identificación falsa! no soy yo!

te gustan las igualdades liberación y la libertad de su país ver cómo esto en la boca que cierra la puta boca

nada es sagrado, arrope blanco volvió virgen maría gris explotó y se abusa de los derechos de sacrificio que el gobierno trata de usar en contra de su propio pueblo

colores se convirtieron en ganancias políticas si significa la vida o la muerte ahora nadie está a salvo

Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo Rojo

ejecutar porque no se puede ocultar porque su vecino es su enemigo y el cura de la iglesia es un guerrillero de un denominado movimiento más grande

que otra estafa

sólo otra solución rápida para obtener más dinero en su bolsillo

nunca es suficiente

nunca satisfecho

i tried to translate it into english because i wrote this in spanish for those that don't understand

the street isn't a form of art nothing 
pavement on the ground where natural green patches and 50 feet tall bushes rose 
white translucent flickering lights
loud noise vroom vroom vroom bang bang bang goes on in 87th 
you can't be here this is illegal property, you are tresspasing 
sir hands place them on top of your head....you are under arrest... you have the right..
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FALSE IDENTIFICATION IT IS NOT ME
you like the liberation and freedom equalities of your country see how this in your mouth shuts you the hell up 
nothing is sacred, white clothe turned gray virgin mary exploded and abused for sacrificial rights that the government tries to use against its own people
colors turned into political gains whether it means life or death now nobody is safe
red red red red red red red red red red red red red red red red red red red red red red 
run because you can't hide because your neighbor is your enemy and the church priest is a guerrilla for a so called bigger movement
just another scam
just another quick fix for more money in their pocket 
never enough
never satisfied

Outside Visits: Visionary Metropolis: Tony Garnier's Une Cité Industrielle

 

      Wolfosnian is a place I am very familiar and until one point I knew all of the staff, therefore I don't know if you have to pay or not, but thats beside the point. The familiarity to this place is because in the summers workshops take place for animated and graphic designs students which i was a part of the program for two years in middle school. I like the different works exposed for viewers to see such as the phone collection they have which is something that had been first exhibited in FIU on Flagler and the little museum they have at the University.

        The Artist assigned to the class i found less intriguing and aesthetically pleasing to my taste compared to the other artist Alfred Browning Parker. Maybe, my judgement/opinion is the way it is because I associate myself more towards the vintage "modern picture of architecture" rather than the industrial ariel view that Tony Garnier shows in the collection. The artist shows a general view of what to manifest most of the time as a city or town, rather than focusing on specific details of the actual architecture of the structures/buildings. It places the multiple structures in environments in what appears the desert with a few hills here and there along with grass patches and the ocean. I enjoyed the work they have placed on a table with magnifying glasses so you can still look how similar the artist is still detailed over his work which requires precision dedication and patience, but not just on the structure rather the overall image.

Outside Visits: The Discipline of Nature: Architect Alfred Browning Parker in Florida HistoryMiami Museum

      History Miami Museum was my first time experiencing it and the collection of artifacts and artists work like the artist we had to specifically go to watch his architectural works. There were two separate buildings which held different types of pieces the main one were one purchases their ticket to enter the downstairs along with the upstairs is more consistent towards memorabilia such as middle eastern hindu culture or sports that are categorized under "ball is life". What i don't understand is why Alfred Browning Parker is being portrayed as an artist because his work is put around sports and cultural holdings that signify the thing being like a rare signed ball by a basketball player close to a dhoti kurt and sari made of silk in the same space or is the message that all the things presented for the viewer is to appreciate the beauty of "the art" in everything shown.

        The architectural artist assigned to the class is not only someone that looks for specific details and strange structures to move upon, but he places everything in a significant order that shows that vintage perception of the future of "modern architecture" mostly towards the view of houses. Drafts are done a piece of paper with the measurements and detailed/complex drawings and ideas towards his vision, followed by a 3-D handmade model of the structure made out of wood. Observing the works of wood and knowing that everything in the small scale shown was done by hand makes you appreciate it more, also giving an in depth feel to knowing the artist a little more by the patience and dedication shown to build whatever was in his mind at the moment regardless the time it would take.

Rhino Section: In Depth Project

Readings: Chapter 1 Green Dreams: Gardens

         The character develops a feel of uncertainty and the introduction of the passage by using a writing method called, juggling'. It consists of using self reflection lines that converse between placing the reader inside the pages and then pushing them out. Words or phrases, "all landscape painting does a kind of gardening, "though the idealizing impulse makes a show of dilution itself as we move toward the present." Personally, how the writers converts the so called manifestation of a garden, going towards it not being an art rather an enabled landscape that diverges the mind into thinking what is in sight is nothing more than something created by a man enabling a condensed extent of the beauty forrest/landscapes hold. 
         The artist writes about the replacement of environment of objects the a point substituting the realistic and mixing it by its natural root whether it'd be a painting or picture instead of landscape or something similar. How at the end people tend to forget the pure summary of things and make themselves think that whatever the object they may tend for is a world within their own ideas. Not content the main focal length, instead depriving the public from ,"a literal world with artificial strains" meaning what the writers is holding is that something visibly living may be dying as to the opposite not all processes are in terms aesthetically beautiful, but have their natural way to achieve the end result of its beauty. Because of this humans' tend to recreate many sightings not only to preserve the moment or object or place, it is finally the poem or pictured vision of one mind, never really replicating the true form of the "art". 

Invisible Cites by Italo Calvino: Written Response

        Invisible Cities isn't really a traditional novel , even though it is labeled under it. A collective 52 more or less short impressionistic passings in my opinion. And this due to no showing of a characters development or a plot to follow upon. I opened the book to the page 19, being cities and signs 2, this being also known for being the adventures and travels of Marco Polo, while being under the 17 years he spent in China. The explorer mentions Kublai Khan over the friendly relations, by the writing of the book it seems that what is being described is someone under opium or a hallucinative drug/plant.                                                
        He recounts things being real, but not really being there: such as the girl with the puma, blind man, or lunatic. It shows points of recalling of not knowing reality, and blaming it under the city trying to dig a memory into the visitors mind. Instantly, on page 17 of Cities and Desire 3, is before the writers speaks about something similar to a 'trip story',about being on a sail and the different flags on it breaking the bottles. Portraying the rocking and rollin of the ship aboard at the time. Also, It gives of hints or elects that the person in the book it dying from starvation, 

Small Works- Portraits/Propaganda

Digital Forms 

First work consist of the post Kate Moss starting out her career in the early 90s, she says, "everything under the sun has been blamed on me, whether it's coke or heroin, i think that's it". Throughout the years like every other person she finds herself in a struggle, and her own battle from the age of 17 is drug abuse. Second, picture is an elderly women"heroin abuser" which would depict the fallen star of KM.

Second work, depicts a lost childhood taken away from its home. One is a picture of my grandparent's kitchen before my family and i left the country, and the other image used is a cousin, my two siblings, and I all in a bathtub. This shows the lost feeling or spirit because the whole family took it pretty hard that we left the country due to the dangerous living conditions in search of a better place to live, so it shows one of my cousins in the bathtub crying. 

Third work, is a picture of two kids my parents raised before my brothers and I were born. But them not being the real parents caused conflict between my dad's side of the family and the emotions of the kids they were raising at the time. The other picture is a picture of my brother, the one in the center who seems to be confused in all the commotion this reverts back to lost feeling of trying to find the biological parents of the two kids because none knew who their father were.

Written Response to Outside Visits: The PAMM Beatriz Santiago Muñoz: A Universe of Fragile Mirrors

        Upon, coming into the PAMM i was first thrown off by one of the pieces on the first floor which involves four cubes consisting of "mirrors" on each side in regards of remembering the work i had to be looking for Titled, "A Universe of Fragile Mirrors". Rather, than looking at it from a literal point of view i thought maybe it could be conceptually, and also i couldn't find Beatriz Santiago Muñoz in any part of the space around me. I did still think it was an interesting piece in regards of sitting down in the middle of the four rectangular prisms; looking from an infinite surrounding of flash reflections of your face, and I'm not sure if it was intentional that the artist wanted the viewers to project their own opinion of it or view it from any angle, but if so I feel it was successful.
       The exhibition that the class was assigned i felt it took a different turn than what we have seen so far, mostly because the selection of works we were assigned to were documental/experimental films. In contrast to the work created in warp leaning primarily on 2-D works, i enjoyed the Haitian culture connections between "post-colonial" way of life/ conditions; something that could seem so normal to put in example the US perception being living a nomadic lifestyle in comparison. Enjoying some of the detailed landscape wide shots the artist decided to portray and cutting it close ups of the features of individuals. She showed extreme observation and engagement to the locals being able to capture stories such as the one of the Haitian man's dream of encountering several snakes along the path to his house and personifying them and giving them genders or positions of a daily life concept one might face with other human beings.

Readings/Written Response: A People's Art History of the United States

         The writer of the article whose name is Nicolas Lampert, he introduces the idea of cultivating and breaking down a photograph. How people should not overlook a picture, and base it off aesthetic pleasing factions off it. Rather focusing on the visual guides presented to the reader such as the intent or motive for the photograph or the culture, people, or history included on it. Followed by sequence of explanations and centering the Native American People, and the documentation accumulated. In the article it explains the "white power" forced upon the customs and religions for Natives, and how making such sudden industrial demands towards a nomadic culture was asking the impossible ,because industrializing something that boys now adult men had grown to be carriers and buffalo hunters transitioned into farmers and ranchers. Photographers rushed to the West in order to document the soon to be extinct culture.         
        Usually, the North American Indian folios were each sold between three-thousand to about four-thousand dollars and in sets of five-hundred, due to this only the elite of the US at the time were able to afford to look within their closed minded. Across the passage, it transcends from the beginning stances speaking about the not so appreciated art of photography towards an informative article about the forceful cultivation of the supreme white power conversion upon cultures though the United States. Curtis a documentarian/photographer had to actually recreate some of the customs and ceremonies with tribes for his photographs along to having to buy wigs for members who transitioned to having the white man's haircut. The writer talks about a race going "extinct", when in fact should know go on making the mistake of confusing adaptation and survival with "going extinct". 

Readings/Written Response: The Rhinoceros from Durer to Stubbs.1515-1799

        Upon first glance, as a reader throughout the first page the writing style is presented in chronological matter, but upon further reading it goes back and forth with sequence of events pulling the reader back and forth with dates. The rhinoceros, is the focal point where in the given passage was the 3rd in recorded history to have ever been caught. With the intentions of bringing it alive to Rome, in route making stops various places were able to see the creature alive, but the ship experienced a severe storm and everybody drowned including  the rhinoceros. It did arrive to Rome, but washed up on shore was its carcass; along with manuscripts and illustrations were the only thing available for further research upon the animal. Throughout time, the only illustration in books were the exaggerated wood cut by Durer who actually had never really seen the creature, but rather a newsletter followed by a sketch from Lisbon.        
         Legends about "The Beast" enemy being the elephant, and on top of the food chain describing the rhino as a carnivorous animal that mauled an elephant to devour it. Different portraits were changed in periods of time from an estimated depiction of intervals of 200 years from 1500,1700, and 1900. Different paintings or other media used to illustrate the rhino such as the 'Creation of the Animals' which is not rooted to the specific artist, but portraits the silhouette of the animal in a dark shadow form. Not only was this animal glorified in history by the Romans, North Syrians, Indians, but  Egyptians as well; although there is no concrete proof that the animal was among any dynasties by digging up fossilized bones, but only through ancient hieroglyphics and texts.
