- Artist: Bijari from Brazil (page 119)
- Project: Transverse Reality (Chicken
Projects 1,2), 2001,2003
present in the form of video documentation at the
Havana Biennial in 2003
- Inspiration:
People react in different ways depending on their economic and cultural
situation
- Methods:
Bijari releases a chicken in two different shopping districts in Sao
Paulo and documents the public’s reaction
1.
Iguatemi, a luxury shopping mall for high income
class
2.
Largo
da Batata, a bus stop and
market by lower income class
- Reactions:
1.
Iguatemi, a luxury shopping mall:
Security
guards immediately treated the chicken as a criminal suspect. They scrutinize
the chicken’s behavior and removed it
2.
Largo da Batata, a bus stop and market:
Customers
are less suspicious. They react to the chicken in a much less orderly fashion
and allow the bird to remain on the premises
- Conclusion:
The space becomes
privatized due to aesthetic, economic, social, and behavioral patterns.
Bijari’s Transverse Reality aims to disturb the regular flow of life by
eliciting unexpected reactions from the public.
- Artist: Basurama,
begins with a Spanish group of students at the Madrid School of Architecture.
Now, the group consists of professional architects, designers, and other urban
planner. (page 119)
- Project: Urban Solid Waste, 2008.
- Inspiration:
Basurama wants to change attitudes to trash. Basically, they explore what trash
and how we treat it, can reveal about the way we consider the world.
- Methods:
Basurama rebuilds
an abandoned railway to children’s playground by using recycling trash with
local artists and other community members. Also, they also enlist school
children in Miami to create musical instruments out of old car parts.
- Conclusion:
Basurama’s
objective is very environmental, low cost and energy, and labor. Also, it
changes abandonment to reformation by creativity.
