Fui expulsada del infierno. Se me salieron las alas por la boca por la espalda entre las venas un rojo fervente imaginaban los caminos hacia el sur... Unas cien km me llenaron las horas.. así en medio de la lluvia torrencial me estacioné como gato sobre el sofa sobre la cama arrinconada y un dia glorioso día.. me revolque por un tejado e injurie a mi dueño.. la casa se desmoronó y con ella yo desaparecía.. aquel karaoke fue testigo de mi crudeza con la que arrojo los telefonos y quiebro vasos, cómo soportan mi testarudez? Será que mo raza es necesaria en este pueblo de cuatro esquinas.. belleza natural sobre el fango y el torrente... Como me eduqué bajo las leyes más estrictas me condujeron hacia vidigal ahí un hombre salido de los calabozos judios me atendió, en el momento que tocó mi mano supe del horror del vacío de la soledad de un hombre que no tiene color en los ojos y su cuerpo moribundo se me ofrecía, escapé como escapo constantemente.. rio de janeiro una vez dandome la ruleta rusa.. en el copacabana hostel me cómi un argentino antes de la despedida, aquel dia llegué a la cocina con intenciones de volver a encontrarmelo...

Segundo acto

Me lo topé mágicamente en la terraza.. yo percibí que alguien me miraba fijamente y con asco le devolvi el llamado... Ola me dijo.. volviste eh!..

Quién es este mounstruo me puse a pensar.. Soy yo Santiago. Mi dios que te pasó en el rostro?, Pregunté.

Mis vicios me jugaron mal. Respondió

Nos sentamos a beber unos mates mientras me replicaba cada pregunta en metafora.. cansada opte por ignorarlo y delante de mis ojos se presentó un niño carioca de 20 años.. que belleza tan pulida.. que linda camiseta que gloriosa boca... Yo me ruborice..

Me olvidé de él y comencé darle mi atención a un gran amigo de las islaa de san andres, colombia, me explicó que en su archipiélago se habla una lengua específica y el segundo idioma es el inglés.. que para él el español fue tormentoso, su dejo era sinonimo de burla, le comenté sobre los quechua hablantes.. nos comprendimos así una situación insual acontecio.

El carioca bello gritaba y amenazaba con golpear a Santiago, mi amigo lo sostuvo y le explicó calmate date cuenta que te están probando ten juici, respira. Ahí el carioca joven expuso: ese hijodeputa se comió mi comida, metió la mano a mi comida, se robó mi cena...

Con certeza Santiago se había percatado de que el pedido del carioca habia llegado a recepción y antes de que todo mundo se diera cuenta, bajó a la recepción cogió el pedido, robó una llave de un cuarto privativo y escondió la comida debajo de la cama.

Todo ese escandalo terminó en santiago sobre la calle gigante de copacabana durmiendo donde fue demolido por deber dinero..

El otro final esta explícito : yo observando curiosamente al carioca y el preguntando a todo mundo por mí... Su tío se acercó como una escena de antaño y preguntó : mi sobrino quiere hablarte se puede? Le dije que sí con certeza y el beso se perpetuo hasta ahora que viajo sobre un bus con destino a buzius.

Following the return of the Illidari to Outland, the Cabal of the Dying Sun has sought to consolidate its power by bringing in the former factions of the Illidari into a single army. The Fel Orc tribes of Outland were once the anvil to the Illidari’s hammer and made up the bulk of Illidan’s forces. Now they rallied behind a despot under the name of Kramok Doomlash. 

Traveling to Hellfire, the Illidari find the Citadel under siege by a faction of Lightforged Draenei and the Shattari. There, Exarch Baatah, a broken vindicator made introductions to the General Bendarius and the Naaru of vengeance So’ro. There, the Lightofrged showed to the Illidari the carnage they were too late to stop. Leading the draenei assault was the redeemed Exarch Islaa, who smashed through the fel orc line killing their Warlord. Knowing that the draenei would soon slaughter the remaining orcs, the Cabal of the Dying Sun moved to intervene. 

Racing through the ruins, they managed to slip past the Exarch’s forces to the central chamber of the citadel where the Warchief Doomlash had greeted them. After some initial taunts, Dread Commander Asteryn the Blackheart commanded Monax the Undying to defeat the Warchief in a duel and present to her the Warchief’s head. After a very shourt flourish, Monax finished his prey and presented to the Dread Commnander his still bleeding head. 

The orcs, true to their nature submitted to their new leader, Monax the Undying. Some choose to join the Illidari while others fled, but by the time the Exarch’s forces arrived to claim the right of victory, they were only left with a bloody sigil of the Illidari’s presence. 

This was an awesome event and a ton of fun to tell. The Sunguard got a chance to continue on its side Illidari story and make sense of the mess left on Outland. I can’t wait for the remaining clashes between the Lighforged and Illidari to rear its ugly head.

Poema Colectivo Revolución

Curated by Luis Camnitzer January 28–May 1, 2021

The Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (ISLAA) is delighted to announce the opening of Poema Colectivo Revolución, curated by Luis Camnitzer, in its New York City space. Bringing together more than three hundred contributions to the international mail art project Poema Colectivo Revolución, this exhibition continues the inaugural series of ISLAA’s on-site curatorial program, which highlights conceptual strategies in Latin American art.

In 1981, the Mexican artist group Colectivo 3—comprising Aarón Flores, Araceli Zúñiga, Blanca Noval Vilar, and César Espinosa—issued an open call for contributions to a collaborative artwork titled Poema Colectivo Revolución. Inspired by the 1979 Sandinista-led uprising in Nicaragua, the group sought to produce a “collective poem” about the theme of revolution, inviting artists and writers to submit their responses to this open-ended prompt on copies of the same letter-size sheet of paper.

The open call received hundreds of mailed-in replies from forty-three countries that, viewed in unison, map out a network of solidarity at a moment of mounting global tensions and economic turmoil. Encompassing typed and handwritten verses, ink and pencil drawings, newspaper collages, and Xerox photocopies, the project cohered a vast array of artistic approaches and ideological perspectives to creatively imagine alternatives to social realities. While some contributors directly addressed the political situation in Nicaragua, most reflected on personal interests and on the ideals and implications of revolutionary action, with works ranging from playfully subversive to skeptically critical. Revisited today, Poema Colectivo Revolución remains a remarkable document of mail art whose radical spirit and aesthetic eccentricity continue to resonate, forty years after its creation.

This exhibition presents the majority of the existing contributions to Poema Colectivo Revolución, including 338 multimedia works on paper. It is accompanied by an original bilingual publication, featuring an essay by Luis Camnitzer in Spanish and English. Poema Colectivo Revolución is curated by Luis Camnitzer, with assistance from Olivia Casa, Exhibition and Curatorial Manager at ISLAA.

ISLAA is open from Tuesday through Saturday, and guests are required to follow COVID-19 precautions while on-site. To schedule a viewing, please visit the appointment page. Tickets guarantee entry for up to two guests during the same thirty-minute time slot.

ISLAA would like to express its gratitude to Araceli Zúñiga and César Espinosa for preserving the contents of Poema Colectivo Revolución before they entered the Institute’s collection. Their efforts have made this exhibition possible.

ABOUT THE CURATOR

Luis Camnitzer (b. Germany, 1937) is a Uruguayan artist and writer who moved to New York in 1964. He was at the vanguard of 1960s Conceptualism, working primarily in printmaking, sculpture, and installations. Camnitzer’s work explores themes of repression under systems of power, pedagogical norms, and the deconstruction of familiar frameworks. His humorous, biting, and often politically charged use of language as an artistic medium has distinguished his practice for over four decades.

ABOUT ISLAA’S EXHIBITION PROGRAM

ISLAA is proud to present its new exhibitions program on modern and contemporary Latin American art. This initiative continues ISLAA’s mission of advancing scholarship on art from Latin America. It consists of an interrelated series of physical exhibitions in ISLAA’s New York City gallery space and online presentations on its website. Guest curators are invited to draw from ISLAA’s library, archive, and graphic arts collection to develop original research and realize new exhibitions that consider underexamined figures, areas, and periods. This program seeks to foster curatorial innovation within the field and to offer scholars and arts professionals the opportunity to realize exceptional projects that will generate further interest in Latin American art.

Ramaḍān: The Finish Line

❝Ḥusn aḏh-Ḏhan billāh (thinking well of Allāh): 

For you to not despair of attaining your share of His Raḥmah, even if all that is left of Ramaḍān is an amount of time equivalent to single unit of prayer.❞

-— Sheikh ʿAbdullāh Balqāsim.

As this blessed month sets, some may be remorseful over time wasted; remorseful that no good habit was formed, remorseful that no bad habit was left behind, remorseful that the heart is still tough and unchanged…

Here's a crazy idea:

Even if it's mere minutes, it is still time. One sincere intention coupled with one sincere action or word and all your shortcomings can be rectified, all your worries can dissipate, all your problems can be resolved, all your hopes can be realised. Allāh is over all things able, let this thought manifest in your heart. He subḥānah can even overlook and forgive your entire Ramaḍān spent in the same old routine of bad habits by one sincere plea in this moment. He can fulfil your most precious of dreams, by one sincere plea in this moment. He can lift your worries, push away hardship, bring ease, relief and happiness, by one sincere plea in this moment.

Perhaps some may have spent this entire month fasting, reciting Qurʾān and standing their nights in ṣalāh—we ask Allāh to accept from them, but there might be others who've not done even a fraction of what the first group has done, but these people–for Allāh–swallowed their pride, picked up the phone and made amends with those near and far, they cleaned out their heart, leaving not a trace of any grudge behind. Then they sought Allāh's forgiveness. And for that Allāh cleaned out their records, leaving not a trace of any misdeed behind.

Go on, finish strong. ✨
