Good morning - Tithe. [&o][&o][&o]

It's a socio-dynamic look at Man's inhumanity to Man which makes a comment on the fight or flight reaction. The painting of the tank in a desert scheme also makes a critical remark on US policy in the Middle East since 1945, whilst using a British Centurion tank also remarks on Britain's role in that region...

Whassat?

[Chickenboy]

Mornin' THREAD dudes...96F here today. Spring would have been nice. [8|]

It's "art", Leo. It's not meant to be understood by normal people.

Actually, if that Centurion is an ex-IDF machine (as I suspect), the piece is a scathing indictment of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.

Hi all,

Erm... [&:]

Former Olympian Gary Morgan runs on a treadmill atop an overturned tank in Track and Field, by Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla. The piece is part of the American Pavilion at the Venice Biennale:

Leo "Apollo11"

the treadmill facing the other way would be a much less powerful statement...bravo!!! [8|]

Or it could be a glorious statement of support for the Israeli Self-Defense Forces too. Oh, wait a minute, this pavilion was in Europe, wasn't it? Never mind...[8|]

[DuckofTindalos]

Americans produced it.

[Chickenboy]

What, the Centurion?

Ah yes, I agree with my erstwhile companion on this facet of the piece. The usage of an ex-IDF tank does create a powerful image in regards to Israel vis-a-vis the Palestinian territories and people and the implied support for such policies that is received from the Western nations through the supplies of military hardware.

We can also see that the runner is wearing a blue outfit and is white. Need I remind you all that the colours of the Israeli flag are blue and white? Also the red stripe of his trainers represents the blood of victims.




You can claim anything is art these days [8|] When I were a lad you had to have some sort of actual talent [:D]
