Dear PINK’s

Pink inside – Simple / Sensitive – makes me think about hidden luxury: the black priest robe with purple silk underneath, maoist uniform with fur inside, the new mercedes engine installed in old soviet car that father of my friend Anka used to have in early 80’s… – the list is long, the piece is nice. Big Pink Smiley for Mr. Fridfinnsson and big thanks to Hector Belloc for this pink tip 🙂

Hreinn Fridfinnsson is one of Iceland’s leading conceptual artists. His work is celebrated for its lyricism and stark poetry that transcends the often-commonplace subjects and materials that the artist uses to create his pieces. Although there is a consistency of theme and a common emotional thread to his art, the media that Fridfinnsson employs are remarkably varied in scale and substance, from photography, drawings and tracings to presentations and installations of sound, texts and ready-mades.

PINK QUEENS PL

Dear PINK’s

Once we talk with Wojtek Wilczyk about the pink “Tarpan” or alike pink car we both saw ages ago and it turned out that Wojtek, who between his many other interests registers the phenomena of old cars converted into ads (Life After Death project
), has it his archive. A true Polish Pink it is – a bit sad – what can I say… Table Dance Clubs in Poland remain mystery for me and I am afraid I am not missing much. I may be wrong but if the quality of places / shows matches the quality our national porn productions it must be an absolute fiasco. From the other hand no doubt there must be some beautiful creatures dancing on the pole somewhere around although most of the perfect Slavic Vixens usually are heading West in its Pink Peregrination and if only can does not stop here for too long. I am also sort of curious of polish man dynamics in such places – do they go on heavy alcohol boosted aggressive ego drive as usually or there is a bit more of common amazement that softens they behavior? Anyway the status of sex business is still pretty undefined here in Poland and I believe we have much more Basic Brothels than Sensuality Shows. The standard polish man is horny but often primitive in his approach to desire and definitely this side of life remains hidden from the society eventually presumed and exaggerated in “boys talks”. I like the Sensuality Theatre very much and I hope that someday the status of sex performers and overall erotic culture will change. Somehow the phenomena of porn stars becoming international celebrities can be seen as one of first steps on this path but the way from shame to glory still remains pretty long and definitely longer and harder here in gray mist of guilt.

PINK POX



Pink Lenin at English Яussia

Dear PINK’s

I am back to My Motherland 🙂 For the next few months I will be here and there but mostly in Warsaw. The arrival was intense: Warsaw-Poznań -Wrocław all in four days. Right now as a part of 6th Poznań Photo Biennale an exhibition curated by Iza Kowalczyk: “Charms of Power” opened in Arsenal Gallery – I have a pretty pink triptych there: three Pussy Mandalas – two of them elaborated especially for this show. I am particularly glad of being presented together with Zofia Kulik – artist that I admire very much and whose cold and perfect BW collages (that dialogue with manipulation of beauty by power structures to describe them briefly) make perfect counterpoint for my explicit and juicy pussy flowers. The show is on until June 7th – full info here. Soon I am going to Kiev where I will have a lecture about collections accompanied by slide show (over 500 images selected from my “Cult Objects” magazine presentations. This trip has for me special meaning – a part of perfect occasion to fulfill my sentimental and anthropological urges related to former USSR 🙂 It is my first time to go to “proper Ukraine” – before I had the opportunity to know only it’s southern part (Odessa, Crimea) beautiful indeed but pretty much “russificated” until now. On that occasion I would like to show funny case of pink resistance: a Lenin monument infected with pink pox – something of peculiar actuality for me as I just escaped from Mexican Vermin. Big thanks to Marcin Miałkowski for all the pink links 🙂

Dear PINK’s

Right now I really have no time to write but I wouldn’t like to wait to share this steaming cold pink novelty that my flickr friend and pretty sensitive photographer/anthropologist Kuba Ryniewicz send me lately : Girls and Corpses – the title tells everything you need to know. Inside a lot of rotten pin ups, articles, interviews. Buttgereit, Bradbury, Belladonna – don’t miss it – Deadly Pink it is 🙂

PINK ISLANDS



Surrounded Islands, Miami, Florida 1980-83 by Christo and Jeanne-Claude

Dear PINK’s

Today an Absolute, Contemporary Pink Classic – Sourrounded Islands by Christo / Jeanne-Claude:


Using 6.5 million square feet of floating pink fabric, Christo and Jeanne-Claude encircled eleven islands in Miami’s Biscayne Bay, extending the perimeter of each island by 200 feet. An elaborate undertaking that involved legions of contractors, engineers, attorneys, and seamstresses, Surrounded Islands also required extensive consultation with marine biologists and ornithologists. Ultimately, the project benefited its surroundings: Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s crew removed forty tons of garbage from the uninhabited islands.

Evoking hibiscus flowers and flamingos, the vibrant woven polypropylene fabric was sewn to correspond to the contours of each island. As the unfurling began on 4 May 1983, the islands themselves seemed to bloom. The artists and their crew of 430 surrounded the last island three days later. Remaining on view for two weeks, the work was visible to the public from the causeways, the land, the water, and the air.

Inflation in zentai suit ! by funkyfeetuk

Dear PINK’s

This time pink case of inflation fetishism. Exploring fetish universe seems to be a neverending story and some forms of fetish activity probably cannot be understood properly until one gets into them. Inflation fetishism also known as expansion fetishism is pretty much tierra incognita for me – as far as I understand we can difference between two basic forms of it: inflation of the suit (as on the video) and inflation of actual body parts (belly, breasts, buttocks). The last one give me creeps but finally as two days ago I was offered healthy electroshocks by an old man on Mexico City Zocalo and I happily got my dose of volts so “to anybody according to his needs” 🙂 I suppose the inflation fetish has its origins in fascination by feeling of fullness, the look of pregnant belly, Blowfish, Balloon? It has to do with bondage on one hand and with performance on another and it is surprisingly wide spread in Internet community. Inflation is also often related to latex fetish – I mentioned already custom suits by Pretty Pervy on this blog – anyone who did not know them is most welcome to check out they amazing creations. As for pop culture I remember in one of the Æon Flux chapters (“Reraizure” – September 12, 1995) Æon and Trevor having pressure intercourse on the platform high above the clouds – that looked convincing to me 🙂 Finally it is curious to observe how Pink penetrates into spaces since years reserved exclusively for Black.

GUST ! GUST ! GUST !



الاستننساخ
from the collection of: almoteri2002′

Dear PINK’s

Gust – kwestia nader delikatna – rozmowa o nim wręcz nieadekwatna wobec dynamiki wizualnych języków współczesności, które dysponują estetyką w sposób swobodny eksplorując tereny hen daleko poza granicami piękna, niewiele się o piękno zresztą troszcząc. Ja sam przecież analizując i delektując się soczystością popkultury odżegnuję się permanentnie od piekła “Dobrego Gustu”. Nie zmienia to jednak faktu, że “Zły Gust” istnieje w formie nieskalnej jakimkolwiek przewartościowaniem czy samoświadomością i ma się świetnie. Muszę przyznać, (i to kolejne politycznie niepoprawne stwierdzenie, ale co zrobić kiedy to fakt) że prawdziwie brutalne doświadczenia na tym polu przeżywam regularnie ilekroć zaglądam do flickerowego streamu kolejnej osoby z Dubaju, Kataru, Kuwejtu czy innego z Emiratów Arabskich jaka dodała mnie do swojej listy kontaktów. Tępy zachwyt pięknem folderu reklamowego, gloryfikacja kalendarza z biura podróży, hotelowy kanon piękna… – to jest po prostu coś niesłychanego! A ja przecież chętny i kuloodporny i w ogóle z doświadczeniem chłopak ale jak widzę takie zdjęcie jak to publikowane powyżej to naprawdę ogarnia mnie trwoga i już wiem, że w nocy dusić mnie będzie złowieszcza zmora skóroplastyki… Jak to jest – ? – przecież myśmy po borach i mokradłach z toporami latali kiedy oni mieli najbardziej wyrafinowaną poezję miłosną:

Ma ona gibkość gnącej się gałęzi, a spojrzenie jej darzy upojeniem wina. Serce me więźniem jej sie stało! Kiedy przechodzi piękna dziewczyna przypominam ją sobie i cierpię. Jedynie szcześliwy, kto czyni ze śliny jej ust swój napój ranny i wieczorny…

To z “Ogródu Pieszczot” w tłumaczeniu Staffa – co do oryginału to źródła podają różne daty w każdym razie na pewno jest to Maroko gdzieś pomiędzy X a XV wiekiem. Zapomnijmy na chwilę całą resztę i smakujmy cierpki róż słowa.

PINK NOT DEAD!

P.S. a jednak fascynujące 🙂 zdeterminowane – totalna apoteoza i potwierdzenia fryzjerstwa jako ostatecznego kanonu piękna – polecam eksplorację – to okrutny sequel do Zachodów Słońca Uklańskiego.

Dick in Pink

Dear PINK’s

From one hand since big success of Priscilla and the Almodovar crazy-funny Transgender Universe Drag Queens, CD’s and TV’s seem to be widely digested and accepted as a part of contemporary culture from another for most heterosexual males a dick under a skirt it is still a pretty serious proposal. Personally I am not ready yet. In spite of that I like to admit that my favorite disco in Mexico City is Hysteria
where huge crowd of young she-males can be seen dancing every saturday night and it is truly hard to be closer to male fantasy about ultra-woman than they are. Below mini review of few Pink CD’s I found on Flicker – there is much more of it unfortunately the most interesting cases are often on private streams so linking them here is pointless. Are they gorgeous or grotesque that depends on personal point of view – but they don’t fear Pink – that’s for sure 🙂

Dear PINK’s

Jutro kończę 40 – nie mam jeszcze jakiegoś mega ciśnienia na czerwonego Porsche, chociaż jakby różowy był do wzięcia to czemu nie 🙂 Nie zamierzam też spędzić urodzin w Go-Go klubie (co nie wydaje mi się najgorszą ale jednak też i nie najweselszą opcją) ale, że znalazłem ten kuriozalny filmik, który idealnie pasuje do różowego archiwum postanowiłem go wykorzystać jako pretekst aby zaprosić państwa przynajmniej na wirtualne tańce – poniżej mały przegląd moich faworytów. Ja tymczasem ewakuuję się na kilka dni z rodziną do Raju 🙂 /// Tomorrow I am going 40 – I am not longing yet for red Porsche although I wouldn’t mind a pink one 🙂 I am not planning to spend my birthday at Go-Go Club (it doesn’t seam the worst idea but neither the merriest) but as I came across this curious video that fit perfectly here I would like to use it as a pretext to invite you to at least virtual dancing – below small review of my You Tube favorites – Please Enjoy 🙂 By the mean time I am escaping for few days to Paradise with my Family 🙂 /// Mañana cumplo 40 el Porsche rojo todavía no me urge aun que si hay alguno rosa para mi no me voy a negar. Tampoco voy a pasar mis cumples en un Table (lo que no me parece la peor pero tampoco la mas encantadora idea) Como me tope con este curios video que cabe perfectamente bien dentro de este blog decidí usarlo como pretexto para invitarlos por lo menos a un bailongo virtual – abajo una selección de mis numeritos preferidos de You Tube – disfruten yo mientras tanto me voy a escapar unos días al Paraíso con mi familia 🙂
