Suffering Machine
Escvrevo abaixo algumas reflexões que recebi sobre meu projeto Suffering Machine.
Sorry, only in portuguese.
Neste projeto, existe um conceito profundo e o seu entendimento é essencial para a nossa existencia, alias, as verdades grandes e profundas se incerem frequentemente no Simples.
O ser humano esta sempre em busca da felicidade eterna, concreta, aquela que nao depende de circunstancias, e isso é uma busca dolorosa, desgastante, pq a falta de entendimento de nos mesmos nos impede de chegar-mos a um concenso. Entao vivemos assim; na maioria das vezes na defensiva, sempre procurando justificar os nossos atos afim de ficarmos em paz com a nossa conciencia e.,.. nao conseguimos.
"Vamos observar o " Projeto do Robozinho Imperfeito".-------------------
Observe o Robo: ao mesmo tempo que ele sente, ele desperta sentimentos.
-- Se ele fosse um ser humano, por causa da sua imperfeiçao, ele poderia sentir: - medo , odio , desprezo , revolta , tristeza , afliçao , desanimo , fraqueza , desespero , angustia , infelicidade , incapacidade......e poderiamos ainda enumerar varios outros sentimentos negativos.
Mas, ainda ele desperta em outros seres humanos, sentimentos dos mais variados, como por ex: piedade , compreensao , ternura , carinho , como tb,( dependendo da estoria de vida de cd ser humano,) podera,, observando este Robo ,ser despertado sentimentos de:raiva , agressividade , impaciencia , orgulho , vaidade , poder , soberba , desprezo , ...etc...etc.
à respeito de sentimentos, o nosso controle é tremendamente limitado, pq o "sentir" habita no coraçao, no mais profundo da Alma.
Através desta realidade, tao complexa e claramente verdadeira, podemos compreender que seres humanos podem se relacionar, se acrescentar uns aos outros, porem, a nivel de sentimentos é mais sutil, é delicado...e isto pq nao conhecemos a nos mesmos.
O sentimento que uma pessoa pode despertar em vc, (sentimento bom ou ruim), nem vc mesmo sabia que existia no seu coraçao.
Tremendo misterio é o Relacionamento.
Quando refletimos em todas estas coisas, começamos a observar a veracidade da Palavra de Deus (feliz daqueles que a conhecem e a praticam,pq caminham para o entendimento.
Voltemos ao Robozinho imperfeito.
-----Quem neste mundo pode afirmar que é perfeito?
------Quem neste mundo pode afirmar que é bom?
------Quem neste mundo pode afirmar que é justo?
-------Quem neste mundo pode afirmar que é a verdade?
Podemos afirmar,"se estiver-mos ligados à Jesus Cristo que temos "A Verdade", mas nunca que somos a verdade.
Somente Jesus afirmou isto: "EU SOU O CAMINHO, A VERDADE E A VIDA. NINGUEM VEM (e nao vai ) AO PAI SENAO POR MIM. Ele é o pp Deus.
O homem começa a se conhecer a partir do momento em que olha para o seu criador.
Deus é perfeito e criou o homem à sua imagem e semelhança e tb com o direito de Livre Arbitrio.(sem o qual ele nao seria livre).
Deus nos fez perfeitos mas, o pecado quebrou o relacionamento com ELE, e ficamos assim, como o Robozinho imperfeito, escravos do pecado,pecado este que brota de dentro da nossa alma e nao temos como controla-lo, a nao ser que deixemos JESUS agir.
As outras pessoas, como podemos observar, através deste Projeto, nao nos podem ajudar, simplesmente pq. elas tb sao imperfeitas. A felicidade entao, é momentanea,depende de circunstancias e nao existe um crescimento, mas sim, um circulo vicioso.
" Je veux vivre libre de moi-meme" quer dizer:(Eu desejo viver livre de mim mesmo) e isso, DEUS, o nosso criador, ELE mesmo, atraves DELE mesmo, JESUS CRISTO, nos libertou da maldiçao do circulo vicioso , do Pecado, e nos deu e nos da....pra todo aquele que quer, Vida em Abundancia e Eterna.
Gostei muito deste projeto.........para mim ele é significativo.....

MyCity: Residencies for artists from Turkey
http://www.britishcouncil.org/turkey-arts-my-city-european-residencies.htm
MY CITY
European Residencies [MCER]
MCER, is a one-off programme to be realized between 2010 and 2011 for enabling visual artists from Turkey to develop their work in six prominent host institutions across Europe through residencies. It forms part of My City, a new cultural initiative funded through the European Commission’s Cultural Bridges Programme, designed and run by the British Council in Turkey. The programme’s aim is to establish partnerships between artists and institutions in Turkey and Europe.
The My City programme has two strands: MCER and a programme of activities in Turkey around the theme of art in public space, including seminars, conferences and new commissions. Starting in 2009, five artists from Europe will be invited to Turkey to develop a unique work of public art for a specific city in Turkey. The selected cities are Canakkale, Istanbul, Konya, Mardin and Trabzon. Each of these cities has a unique story to tell and this project will give the artists the opportunity to take part in residencies and show their work at some of Europe’s leading cultural venues. The names of all participants will be announced during the International Istanbul Biennale in September.
My City has been conceived by the British Council together with Anadolu Kultur and Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center. The project is funded by the European Commission and the British Council.
The project goal is to enable visual artists to develop and reflect upon their work in a different European environment and culture. The residency also generates opportunities for making or extending contacts and for exploring and/or developing a new context as well as producing new work.
Who Can Apply?
My City European Residencies [MCER] grants are intended for visual artists. However, artists who are part of a collective or a multi-disciplinary team are also welcome to apply to the MCER.
In addition to work-related criteria, there are a number of conditions applicants must satisfy in order to qualify for a grant. All applicants must be resident in Turkey, and if they are not nationals of Turkey, they must have a valid residence permit. A good command of English and other relevant languages of the place of residence are required. Deadline for application is the 21st of August.
If you require more information please contact: platform@garanti.com.tr
Selection Process
MCER Applications will be reviewed by a committee of six professionals, including but not limited to curators, who have the experience in international residencies. There will be one representative each from Platform Garanti and the British Council.
The committee will prepare a short-list of three candidates for each institution for which the application was made. The final selection will be made by the European host institutions in consultation with the committee.

Lev Manovich will also take part in FILE Symposium and FILE LABO Workshop. PROTO, from "Protomembrane", title of the performance by the Catalan artist Marcel.lí Antúnez Roca, which will happen during the event opening, at Teatro Popular do Sesi. 4KT, the first transcontinental high-definition broadcasting of a feature film: "While the Night Doesn't Come", by the Brazilian director Beto Souza, among the cities of São Paulo (Brazil), San Diego (United States), and Yokohama (Japan).
