POST-COLONIAL LIBERATION ARMY (rematerialización)


PCLA (r)

Third proclamation and summons. The PCLA (r) wonders.

The PCLA (r) proclaims that the PCLA (r) is its circumstance.

Therefore, the PCLA (r) summons:

1: to carefully analyse all that happens;
2: to pay attention to each day's experience;
3: to abstract and concretize to surmount the spirit-matter contradiction;
4: to rematerialise the world;
5: to cast doubt on the snares of the senses;
6: to cast doubt on the snare of intellect;
8: to cast doubt on the snare of the avant-gardes;
9: to cast doubt on the snare of silence;
10: to cast doubt on the snare of the images;
11: to cast doubt on everything that cannot be recounted;
12: to cast doubt on impotence and arrogance;
13: to cast doubt on language;
14: to cast doubt on power;
15: to cast doubt on neglect and history;
16: to cast doubt on victory;
17: to cast doubt on all technology that would not consider an ethics of the responsibility towards all that is known, or that would not consider the relationship between means and ends as a political fact;
18: to cast doubt on nourishment;
19: to cast doubt on time, cynicism and intransigence;
20: to doubt without worries;

Therefore, the PCLA (r) wonders:

a: are we ready to live in a world full of art objects?
b: are we prepared to see art into each and all of the manifestations that call themselves art?
c: do we want to assume as avant-garde those art objects proposed as a reading that is new, different, more original, more lucid, creative, more contemporary than the others?
d: is bisexuality an expansion of the perception of the sexual?
e: would a life without forgiveness be endurable?
f: can we conceive of things without a precise origin?
g: are we interested in that our values be respected, as other of our attributes are respected?
h: will we assume psychoanalysis as a way of interpreting our desires of culturally sublimating ourselves?
i: will the PCLA (r) be able to assume spiritual responsibility for an ever more lay society?
j: will installation be the fitting method?
k: will the creation of an alternative mainstream be the historical rubbish dump of our desires?
l: will it be possible to empty painting from its auratic contents?
m: will we denounce the anonymity of auteur works?
n: do natives have a soul? or, is this a pipe?
o: once our dissidence is stated, will we expand the notion and functionality of culture or art?
p: is it necessary to be sensual to be Brazilian?
q: did the figures from the palaeolithic represent the aspirations of a hunter people?
r: is it possible to socially organize a series of interesting questions regarding the situation of the world and of things?


No delays! To work!
