R.Mutt

       

Marcel Duchamp 

He was an artist, he was born in France but lived much of his success as an artist in the US. 

He is a pioneered worker on conceptual art (contemporary), saying that all that was displaced from its context and giving a new meaning could be art. His great scandal was when he was working with the "urinal". He bought an ordinary urinal, the volt and signed as R.Mutt, he rode on a plinth and presented in an art competition cutting edge. This work was called "The Fountain" (1917).

 This fact caused a stir because everyone questioned whether it could be art or not... Well, today is considered as art all the conceptual work behind.

The first book I read about his life interested me because I understand and clarify what he wants to produce with his works. The book is title ~Duchamp: Love and death, even ~. 

 

Duchamp worked all his artistic work around sexuality, played with the theme of duality between the feminine and maculine, but what is not, the mystery between public and private. His ironic way of working, laughed at the academy and the critics.

For me it's a great artist by the ability to give the art another perspective in an era where the vanguards were running product side of the world wars. Besides, moving the painting achievement and gave importance to the object / sculpture / installation, done that broke with tradition, giving way to the new art of the twentieth century.

A separate and very interesting fact is that Marcel wears costumes of women and he called himself "Rose Selavy"

My best holiday was in 2013. Because it was the first time I paid me my vacation.

The chosen location was Uruguay, it is a great country. People are very nice and civilized, the places are beautiful, culture is affordable for the pocket, but the bad thing is that it was more expensive than Chile, like food, transportation, alcohol hahaha.

The places that were meet, Montevideo, Punta Ballena, Punta del Este, Piriapolis, La Barra and Maldonado. I spent 10 days with the best cousins, Barbara and Eduardo.

Piriapolis was my favorite places, is a silver that is located north of Punta del Este. The vegetation is very interesting, the sand is too soft and perfectly warm sea.

The second best was Montevideo, as two girls we met in Punta del Este made us a tour of the very entertaining and interesting city.

Punta del Este

I hope to return soon to this place and meet new secret corners.

A country I would like to visit

C o L o M B i A 

I would like to visit Colombia, because the last year I met a good friend, he's name is Johan. He is from Colombia, I met him in my last job and transformed in my fest friend in the place. 

When we talked about to visit other countries, he says: Milena the next summer you should travel to Colombia and we can go all the country by bus, because hitchhike in Colombia is very dangerous.

Well, this is the reason I want to travel to this place. Johan now lives in Colombia and very entertaining would see him again. I have also too eager to know their culture, people, food, it's beautiful scenery.

All my acquaintances who have traveled to Colombia tell me it's a beautiful place, its landscapes are magical, there is always something to do in the nature, both to see in the flora and fauna.

Finaly I hope raise money to go this summer and go with a friend.

I hope we can all travel around the world, it is always good to travel because it grows and learn.

Bye.

He is Johan: D
