  “King of Solana Beach” Eleanor Antin 1974-1975

  In “The King of Solana Beach” Eleanor Antin dressed up as a medieval man who believed he was the King of Solana Beach.  She documented her daily transformation into the ‘King’ and her contact with her subjects.  Eleanor kept a sketchbook and spent time sketching her domain, the landscape drawings look something like Rembrandt’s landscape sketchbooks.  Some comedy ensues as the King tries to halt development in his realm, but in the end he fails.  The situations Eleanor Antin involved herself in while she was the King were a bit like Don Quixote the Anti-Development Environmentalist takes on the city of Solana Beach.

  Public Cervix Announcement, Annie Sprinkle

  “Sprinkle’s performance piece, which had received federal funding, entails inviting audience members to view her cervix with a speculum and flashlight in order to "demystify the female body.”

  For Annie Sprinkle, non-misogynistic pornography can be a sex-positive vehicle for banning shame and ignorance while promoting pleasure and feminism. She remains committed to spreading the good news of her pro-sex message, as joyously as possible, that sex should be liberating, fun, free of shame and repression, and infused with creativity, love and spirituality.

  CUENTOS PATRIÓTICOS (Patriotic Tales), 1997
  In collaboration with Rafael Ortega
  Video Still, 25:40 min.
  
  !!!
  

  “Patriotic Tales 1997 targets the rut of Mexican politics in other ways. Alÿs leads a circle of sheep around the flagpole in the Zócalo, the ceremonial square and the site of political rallies. The action is based on an event in 1968 when civil servants were paraded in the city to show support for the government, but bleated like sheep to protest their subservience.”*

  Hélène Cixous, French writer, poet and philosopher - b. June 5, 1937…

  “We should write as we dream; we should even try and write, we should all do it for ourselves, it’s very healthy, because it’s the only place where we never lie. At night we don’t lie. Now if we think that our whole lives are built on lying-they are strange buildings-we should try and write as our dreams teach us; shamelessly, fearlessly, and by facing what is inside very human being-sheer violence, disgust, terror, shit, invention, poetry. In our dreams we are criminals; we kill, and we kill with a lot of enjoyment. But we are also the happiest people on earth; we make love as we never make love in life.” — Hélène Cixous
