ANXIETY ATTACK

Iammedicated Ihavemultiplepersonality disorder Iam alienatedwhocares...
I am a Zombie, a Ghost (NOT A GOTH PLEASE, THANKS...).

ANARCHY AND NONSENSE IS THE MENTAL SPACE WHERE I HAVE GROWN AFTER DRIFTING AROUND WITHOUT DIRECTION, WITHOUT 'SCHOOL-TRAINING'. I AM AN ESCAPEE, A FUGITIVE NURTURING ELECTIVE AFFINITIES WITH THE DILETTANTE.

Dislexya, treatment and claustrophobia.

In my long lost trip I discovered a CONTEXT:
- INDIE, DIY and FUCK YOU ALL -
IN WHICH :
I NOW OPERATE, HAPPY TO BE A THIEF AND A CRIMINAL.
NOTHING IS NEW,
NOTHING IS EXCITING
ALL, ALL IS NORMAL
ALL, ALL IS MODERN
SINCE THE BORROW-K

I realise I am quite embarrassed to have to say I am an artist.
I COULD SAY INSTEAD I AM A PUTAIN!!
BUTBUT
MOST OF ALL....
A BURGLAR.
Which gives me pleasure: I am a junky of spleen.

HERE IS SOME ENTERTAINMENT OR AT LEAST A FAKE ATTEMPT AT IT

Please cross with an 'X' what you prefer to think about me:

a) Artist who plays in bands ( or in groups that function like a band)

b) Artist with a band posing as an art project

c) Musician/performer making installations

d) Artist that works with Pop music codes and Mass memory

e) Artist who uses exhibitions simply as a way of promoting the fact that she
is an artist and she could get acknowledged for it and get more shows
(a real paradox)

f ) Artist who is not an artist

g ) Artist who is separated from the essence of the diference betwen you and her... or them and her....

TIPS FOR COMPLETING THE ABOVE:

In November 2000 Esther Planas had a review about her piece in a group show called THE REDROOM.
AT FIVE YEARS LONDON

IT SAID :
TARATARATATATTATATTANNNNCHANNNNN!!!!

"Behind a tinsel curtain, an ancient tv plays low-budget music videos for Esther Planas's INDIE BAND (sorry 'performance project') DIRTY SNOW.
ARTISTS' BANDS ARE RUBBISH AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION...
blah blah blah blah... THEY RAISED THE QUESTION OF WHETHER THE INSTALLATION IS A PARODY OF SMACK -ADDLED LOSERS OR SIMPLY
PUBLICITY FOR UPCOMING GIGS."

ANOTHER USEFUL REFERENCE AS WE NEED DIALECTICS:

In February 2004, in an Art Forum article titled 'FROM NOISE TO BEUYS (ON ART AND POP MUSIC)' Bennett Simpson writes:

"DO YOU WANT NEW WAVE OR DO YOU WANT THE TRUTH?
Asked the punk band MInutemen in 84 - AND THE VEREDICT IS STILL OUT ESPECIALLY IN ART
The prominence of pop music in recent art, from rock and punk to noise, techno, and hip hop, is one of the most ambiguous developments of the past five years."

THE ARTICLE CONTINUES... (if interested ! google is always there to help).

I have worked with the formats of music, band and art ... (whatever is supposed to be the diference) since 1995 in Barcelona.
Where the ghosts of murdered Anarchists and murdered Priests still haunt us.
The spirit of nonsense CONTINUES.
