This is a history about to be a post-graduated art student . You´re always suggested to read, and to read and to read without stop. There is two risks: 1) you´ll be invaded from words and thoughts, but not yours. 2) In art isn´t so important who said this or that, but the images that you produce, about what and to whom, because the world is allready full from images and words.

The privacy of public places

Yesterday, waiting for the U8 at Alexanderplatz Station. An alcoholic man is custodied by 8 privat security persons of the BVG, the friendly subway enterprise of Berlin. After a wile they noticed I´m drawing. "What are you doing! This is vorbiden, you cannot draw on the subway! Do you have a permission for this?"

This is not kitsch, this is real life.

This is the history from Rosita from Ecuador.
One day she came home and her roommate, a german medicin student, told her that one inspector from the "GEZ" was there looking for her.
The GEZ is the public institution, to whom every reported citizen in Berlin has to pay for the use of radio and computer or television... Rosita, as every foreign student, is of course reported in Berlin. The german roomate not. That´s why she has to pay for both computer and for the old radio in the kitchen.

"Incidental critic" is the name of the project, which wants to show in comics how the life in Berlin really is when you aren´t a european citizen.

You can be woman or man, black or white, hippie or yuppie...but as long as you are catalogued as a "foreign" person, you don´t have much importants rights. For example you are restricted to work. Even if you are an artist.

This artistic project is an aesthetic and theoretical work about persons who are catalogued as "foreign". All the historys are real. Also the critic to the system.

Museum for Art from Lateinamerica, MALBA, in BsAs, 2006. I was studying Antonio Berni, his iconical work "Manifestación". I admire the realistic and caricaturistic stil of Berni, is cruel and direct. I also like the social thema because it wasn´t so common at this time. I wanted to refer to him in my own work about the manifestations in the decade 2000. Suddenly came to me this 2 boys, 10 years old, and they asked to me what I was doing, why and what for. We begann to speak about art, they wanted also draw. "Do you think I could perhaps to draw like you some day?" They told me also that they were living on the streets but now they are in this home for street-children in San Telmo on the Av.Paseo Colón, that before this they only smoked pot ,and everything , all day long. "Do you also smoke ?". I asked if they like Berni. "yeeeees, very much!" They asked their young teacher to take this pictures.

i´m thinking about the clothes for Frau K. They have to be confortable because Frau K. goes from person to person in the city to draw their culture experiencies. They have also to be practical and to contain everything what she needs for drawing (drawingblock, markers etc...). If you see Frau K. on the streets of Berlin be nice to her: she´s at work.
