THINK YOUR HARDCORE? YOU DONT GET MUCH MORE HARDCORE THAN ME AND POSSIBLY THIS DUDE....
sylvia: yeah i said it, but you'se were all thinking it. point being this guy is pretty up there on my hardcore list. he made a face mask ie:
yeaah okay a little bit lame and naff. paper mache mask, totally year three. text? looks like its from a newspaper? yeah okay WHATEVER right? WRONG!
ive told you all before not to fuck with the russians man. they carry around sacks of caviar and have harems of brides ready for you to buy. seriously, theyre hardcore. Anton Terziev basically proves that, and okay he may not be russian but he is their Bulgarian neighbour and he is one of the youngest emerging artists coming out of this place. if i were you, id keep a close eye on him. He majored in ceramics at National Art Academy of Sofia, but at the moment he is doing heaps of painting performace and video. He is really into representing pop culture, and allot of his works make political, religious and connsumerism references. he does this critically which goes beyond the usual pop-art-wank. can i swear this much? point being, in this project he collaborated with some dudes called "Ultrafuturo"who are just into making art a vessel for their opinions.
ANYWAY. he makes this mask right, covers it in text from the new testament, stitches it to his face, and then kneels out the front of this 16th century church in Sofia where the altar is missing. The long nose represents pinnochio. eventually he finds his way out of the temple etc etc mask is removed. to me, being all euro, this is a serious fuck off getsture to the ways of church which is so deepley embedded in that old culture which still has 16th century churches around. it would have been really interesting to see reactions of other people in that town would have commented on the way youth sees the world today etc etc. also i would have felt very very claustrophobic. i dont know what you skips reckon though...
when one of you'se goes past stitching-a-mask-on-to-your-face, ill put you on my hardcore list. (but only below me, because i am number one hardcore)
