Andrei Molodkin Hope 2009

One awaits with interest a reaction to the BP spill by a patently political artist like Russia’s Andrei Molodkin, whose sculptures infused with crude oil question the commodity’s uneasy relationship with democracy and capitalism in the West. For the time being, though, many artists seem to be preferring a more sensual response, revelling in oil’s devastating allure and noirish indelibility.

I was just thinking about Molodkin the other day and was curious what he was working on.  It didn’t occur to me that it might be something reactionary to the BP spill, since it is so far away from his homeland, but now that I think about it I really hope he does produce something BP-related.

"Il problema delle pensioni d’invalidità, come sapranno tutti coloro che leggono Vanity Fair, costa un miliardo di euro agli italiani. La stessa cifra che ha speso sinora la Bp a causa della marea nera nel golfo del Messico.
E questo significa esclusivamente che si sarebbero potuti risparmiare due miliardi di euro utilizzando i falsi invalidi come assorbenti naturali."

The news media has been snapping photos of the destruction that the oil spill is causing as it floats toward shore, but recently the government and BP have been restricting aerial photographs of the spill at sea. The New York Times reported this week that journalists have repeatedly been turned down when asked to fly over the spill in aircraft. It seems Warren has found a way around this issue with his mapping project.
Grassroots Mapping was started as a way to break down the power structure inherent in the cartography world and give regular citizens the power to make aerial maps of just about anything. The project teaches people how to make high-definition maps of the ground from above. In the case of the Gulf Coast oil spill, Warren and the Grassroots team is releasing all photos taken of the devastation into the public domain for all to see and use as they please. The maps will provide information that allows scientists to map the extent of the spill and could assist with creating a plan to clean it up

"

Sono affascinato dalla strategia adottata dalla British Petroleum per tentare di tappare la falla: prima le palline da golf, poi i tappi di cemento, adesso vogliono propiziarsi gli dei con dei sacrifici umani.

Durante le operazioni di contenimento sono morti due tecnici, ma dal loro contratto risulta che sono stati assunti soltanto ieri.

(Anche queste le si potrebbe chiamare “morti bianche”, se non fosse tutto quel petrolio…)

BP. A picture is worth a thousand words. Or just one- unforgivable.

Watching the hearings on C-SPAN is actually making me angry.
