Boycott Guillermo Habacuc Vargas!

21/10/2007

Ricevo una notizia da un’amica e sono davvero shoccato. L’ “artista” Guillermo Habacuc Vargas ha organizzato una cruenta esposizione in un museo: un cane è legato ad una corda e gli è impedito di alimentarsi. In aggiunta, le mura che circondando l’animale sono ricoperte di scritte create utilizzando croccantini per cani. Inutile dire che il povero animale è deceduto poco tempo dopo l’inizio della mostra… Non riesco a capire come nessuno possa essere intervenuto per impedire questa tortura… Molte fotografie mostrano il pubblico intendo a guardare la mostra, con free drink e stuzzichini fra le mani, fregandosene altamente della vita di questo animale. L’ “artista” si giustifica sottolineando che, siccome il cane è randagio, prima o poi sarebbe morto comunque…

 

FIRMA LA PETIZIONE

---------------

La mostra dovrebbe essere avvenuta in agosto, il blog dove c'è il racconto di cio' che è accaduto ha dovuto chiudere l'accesso ai commenti perchè sono stati seppelliti di insulti e minacce. Il sig. Habacuc scrive per "giustificare" quello che ha fatto:

"Nativity was a very sick creature and would have died in the streets anyway. " che se non sbaglio si traduce con Nativity ERA una creatura molto malata che SAREBBE comunque MORTA per strada.

 

Ora che in pochi giorni si è sparsa la notizia e la gente indignata vuole "la testa" di questo personaggio, spunta la notizia rilasciata dagli organizzatori della mostra, che il cane era ben nutrito con il cibo fornitor dal SIG: HABACUC stesso (e lo si puo' notare dalle foto) ed è scappato notte tempo dalla mostra (magari non gli piacevano i croccantini....)

 

Già era terribile mischiare questo all'arte ma anche la presa PER IL NASO.....

 

EXPLANATION OF GALERIA CODICE

Managua, 19 of October

Gallery Codice from its creation in 1991, has promoted the Central American, but specially the Nicaraguans visual arts, as much in the national level, like in regional and the international. In Codice they have exposed great Central American teachers, as well as consolidated and emergenging artists. The contemporary languages of the universal art also have had space in Codice, reason why periodically it welcomes samples of conceptual art. With that spirit, Thursday 16 of August just last No.1 Exhibition appeared, of the Costa Rican artist, Guillermo Vargas, known artistically as HABACUC.

 

One of the exposed works consisted of presenting/displaying a famélico dog that Habacuc gathered off the street, and during the exhibition he appeared moored with a nylon cord, that was subject as well to another cord that hung of two nails in a corner of the Gallery. Habucuc named the dog "Natividad" in tribute to the Nicaraguan Natividad Canda (24 years) that died devoured by two Rottweiler dogs in a factory of San Jose, Costa Rica, the dawn of Thursday 10 of November of 2005.

 

The dog remained in the premises three days, from the 5pm afternoon of Wednesday 15 of August. He was loose all along in the inner patio, except the 3 hours that the sample lasted, was fed regularly with dog food that the same Habucuc brought. Surprise, to the dawn of Friday 17, the dog escaped happening through the iron doors of the main entrance of the building, while the nocturnal watchman who finished feeding cleaned it the outer sidewalk of the same one.

 

The Gallery Codice reserves the right of guarding by the quality of the exposed works, respecting at any moment the creativity of the artist and it has never tried to exert no type of censorship, as long as they do not attempt against the elementary principles of the ethics and much less than they imply the life of a living being, is human or animal. I thought to remain with "Natividad", but he preferred to return to his own habitat. I celebrate the one that so many people in the international level have been annoying by the declarations offered by Habacuc, in which she maintained that its intention was to let die to the starvation dog, which is of its absolute responsibility. When fulfilling informing the truth into the facts, I hope that all those same people have also elevated their voice of repudio when Natividad Canda was devoured by the Rottweiler.
