Museum of the Essential and Beyond That

invites for the inauguration of the Project WC,

at: http://arteonline.arq.br/museu/bathroom

Everything is always perfect in the virtual museums found on the Internet, =
but our Museum's space does not work that way. Instead, its operations aim =
at fulfilling the dictates of the principle of reality. For example, traged=
y and its esthetic or things we really do not want to think about, have bee=
n shifted (with a touch of morbid humor) to the basement. Bit by bit, we in=
tend to place some problems in the Museum building, because we do not inten=
t it to become an aseptic parody of a real museum.

Today we are launching the bathrooms of the museum. Which is the virtual mu=
seum that shows its bathrooms? Perhaps only the Museum of the Essential and=
Beyond That...

The goal of the Project WC is to amuse people. We hope it hapens, because:

"The most revolutionary act one can commit in our world nowadays is to be h=
appy."

To your confort we built the following bathrooms:

medieval, baroque, primitive, erotic, still life, futurist, concrete, conce=
ptual, web.art

Go to our URL: http://arteonline.arq.br/museu/bathroom (sound and flash pl=
ayer 6.0 required)

Click open, search Marcel Duchamp's urinal, click inside of it and choose y=
our favorite! and go ahead!...;-)

We wish you have lots of fun!

Marcelo Frazao, Paulo Villela and Regina Celia Pinto

Hello Michael,

I liked very much this work, high lights for me: greyscale and horizontal
scroolbar as part of the art work.

The greyscale give to design an expressionist aspect. I love to work with
greyscale too, my first ebook - "The white and the black, reflections on
fog" (http://arteonline.arq.br/library.htm) was done in greyscale and I am
always thinking about to do another work using greyscale.

To work with scroolbars give suspense to the art work, I enjoy it very much.
I am using vertical scroolbars in my work Paris - Rio de Janeiro Gallery
(http://arteonline.arq.br)

Warmest regards,

Regina

Hello Michael,

One of my favorite authors is the french anthropologist Marcel Mauss and my
favorite book of him is "The Gift: The Form and Reason for Exchange in
Archaic Societies"

The Gift is Marcel Mauss's groundbreaking study of the relation between
forms of exchange and social structure. A brilliant French sociologist and
anthropologist, Mauss (1872-1950) used case studies of Melanesia, Polynesia,
and northwestern North America to demonstrate that gift exchange is a total
system at the center of society.

I like very much to give gifts (perhaps because of this book, perhaps I
like to show my culture...) and you with your touching and very beautiful
and sensitive work / gift dedicated to me, makes me feel I am sure. I would
like to be able to send brazilian music to all rhizomes.

Many thanks again,

Regina

PS: The Museum of the Essential and Beyond That at http://arteonline.arq.br
will show lots of news next month, including a new floor. The bathroom(s)
are almost ready and they will be a lot of fun to you. Do not forget (all of
you, rhizomes) that the dead line to send us an "artistic recipe from your
region of the Earth" to our restaurants will be october, 10th.
