BICENTENNIAL ANALYZING THE ART KITSCH

EKO, Suave Patria, mixography.

Nationalism is the realm of kitsch . That bloom, with no limits or shame, waste, bad taste, evasion and opportunism. After the historical tradition of mock celebrations of 15 years as the pinnacle of ridiculousness, the holidays arrive Bicentennial patriotic to take his place with his nonsense and exhaustion. And regardless of the political use are giving this circus, manipulation of history and the hysterical prey with which writers and intellectuals have flocked to these celebrations and writing revisionist fiction books about them, apart from this it is incredible that the party has not yet begun and continues to advertise its failure.

And no wonder.

For starters, the memorial is an arc that is not a bow, and to justify the event organizers know the difference between a straight line and a curve, we change the name. Without respect for the balance of weight and space, is housed in a visually saturated site lacks original aesthetic contributions. The first mistake was to give a firm of architects, not a sculptor. But as artists sponsored by this administration believe that the sculpture is a pile of trash and have placed a portable toilet tower as a monument, it is clear that the organizers could not lay hold of the "talents" Conaculta darlings. The designers of this double wall, in an act of banal self-promotion, they planned to be built with imported materials: steel Finland, Brazil quartz that is laminated in Italy, etc., plus costs. Added to this is that, at the last minute, builders also tripled the budget for not having the memorial ready in time, leaving his goal sense Memorial.

As was the National Palace, now a gallery, organized an exhibition of antiquities of dubious originality purchased from the Zona Rosa, which is not going to be ready for the festivities, with an expenditure of 140 million pesos. This mega collection of memorabilia, has the sole purpose of being part of the superstitious ceremony to exhibit the remains of the heroes who were in Column of Independence. The ritual to attract the power of removing dead bones from the grave, follow fashion imposed in Latin America by Hugo Chavez, who exhumed the remains of Simón Bolívar, and continue to violate Venezuelan santeros graves relevant persons or talented to make amulets and caring for drug offenders.

The point is that nationalism and fascism not keep away aesthetics. For nothing is too much propaganda because it develops in the immediacy, seeks a temporary impact and works in the visceral emotions. That's why the spoils that are leaving these celebrations are shameful.

Instruct the parade and festivities companies who throw events and car cleaning products, the result: ride floats with costumed extras who recite cactus Suave Patria , aerial choreography is just rappel on the wall where the issue is the "unit Mexicans "and other marketing intentions that make abstraction of reason to be celebrated.

seems that political propaganda imposed on us with soccer was not enough and, with volunteer spirit predator, add a personal movies cowboy town scenery, plays with crinolines anachronistic wigs and false mustaches, detonators, rifles, plastic. What will become of these celebrations that we keep? Nothing. Thousands of TV commercials, series history, programs chair and people discussing a past that is diluted to a present failure. These celebrations, in addition to their monumental bad taste, are a demonstration that organizers were not even capable of having a party, and more importantly, that without knowing the actual language of propaganda can not communicate, excite and involve the population . Their only advantage is that the next will be in 100 years, and perhaps on the ashes of this country.
