Frase para el festival feminista, 2009
[Phrase for feminist festival Femart09 - Barcelona]

20.05.09-14.06.09
Phrase written on a wall at the FEM ART 09 festival.
The phrase "ES DE PUTA MADRE SER MUJER" * (to be written on a wall) was
presented for the call organized by the feminist centre Caladona, Barcelona. The
project was accepted. The organization committee decided to use the phrase in their
advertising campaign for the festival. Approximately 10,000 flyers using the phrase
were printed.
Days before the opening, I proposed a change for the expression that was intended to
be written on the wall. The new phrase was a successor to the original that was used in
the campaign. The change was initially refused by the committee, but after discussions
with the other participants and the organization itself, I was allowed to write
"ESPAÑOLA, BLANCA Y DE CLASE MEDIA"**.
*The expression "es de puta madre ser mujer" roughly transcribed as "it’s fucking
great to be a woman", uses the colloquial term 'puta madre'. This term literally
translated is 'prostitute mother', but is commonly used informally to express
appreciation for an object or being that is in some way exceptional. In conjunction with
this, it deals with the dichotomy mother-prostitute, two prototype roles.
