Rectify errors and strengthen the Party! Unite and lead the broad masses of the Filipino people in fighting the US-Marcos regime! Advance the people’s democratic revolution! 

CPP Central Committee | Communist Party of the Philippines

Filled with boundless revolutionary vigor, optimism and joy, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines extends its warmest militant greetings to the entire membership of the Party on the occasion of its 55th anniversary. Today, let us celebrate the achievements of the Party and all revolutionary forces during the past year in arousing, organizing and mobilizing the people in anti-imperialist, anti-feudal and antifascist struggles and advancing the people’s democratic revolution. At the same time, let us self-critically point out our weaknesses, shortcomings and errors in order to rectify and overcome them, and make even greater strides in the coming year.

Let us pay tribute to Ka Jose Maria Sison, founding chairman of the CPP Central Committee, whose first death anniversary we commemorated last December 16. Let us pay homage to Benito Tiamzon, Wilma Austria, Julius Giron, Mariano Adlao, Jorge Madlos, Menandro Villanueva, Antonio Cabanatan, Dionisio Micabalo, Eugenia Magpantay, Alfredo Merilos, Dennis Rodina, Agaton Topacio, Randall Echanis, Rosalino Canubas, Sandra Reyes, Ezequiel Daguman, Emmanuel Fernandez, Rolando Leyson Jr, Helenita Pardalis, Rogelio Posadas, Jude Fernandez, Josephine Mendoza and all the many heroes and martyrs of the Filipino people and the Philippine revolution. During their lifetime, they made great sacrifices and made invaluable contributions to the Filipino people’s cause of national and social liberation.

The Party will forever treasure the legacy of Ka Joma. For more than five decades, Ka Joma was an indefatigable worker of the Philippine revolution and served as its inexhaustible beacon. He further enriched the theory of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism through its application on the concrete conditions of Philippine society and by setting out the strategy, tactics and tasks of the Philippine revolution. Ka Joma’s body of work will remain a crucial guide for the revolutionary and democratic forces in carrying forward the national democratic revolution to complete victory.

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines recognizes the sacrifice of all proletarian cadres and members of the Party who continue to selflessly serve the Filipino people’s cause for national democracy and its socialist perspective. Imbued with the communist spirit of giving everything they can to the cause of the working class and all toiling people, they shoulder all the mountainous tasks for advancing the revolution in their fields of responsibilities.

We extend our revolutionary greetings to the thousands of young cadres who joined the ranks of the Party during the past few years, and who are injecting immense energy to our protracted struggle. Many of you are now performing important tasks of leadership as members of the Party’s central organs, as commanders and political officers of the New People’s Army, and leaders of the revolutionary mass movement in both the cities and countryside. Deeply rooted among the broad masses of workers and peasants, the young generation of Filipino communists are displaying infinite determination to bring the Philippine revolution forward into the future.

On this occasion of commemorating our founding anniversary, the Central Committee extends its solidarity with all anti-imperialist, progressive and democratic forces around the globe who are waging militant resistance against national oppression and wars of aggression. We extend fraternal greetings to all our proletarian class sisters and brothers across the world who are promoting and applying Marxism-Leninism-Maoism on the concrete conditions of their countries and leading the workers and toiling people in their struggle for liberation and socialism.

By engaging the repetitive rhythms of practice, my work also aims to reshape my life as an Artmonk.”

“Rackets” and “Laminates” – Richard Goldberg (MFA 1987) Opening February 1 at 1pm at Far Out Gallery, this show will feature selections from two recent groups of work: “Rackets” and “laminates”.

The “Rackets” are an ongoing group of wall mounted, mixed media sculptural works. Theses sculptures are made with a variety of found objects and materials which take on new identities and meanings as they are synthesized into a single artwork of rhyming shapes, forms and imagery. Each “Racket” work has its own engaging identity, and story to tell.

Shown alongside of the “Rackets” will be collages that are called “Laminates” These works are 2 dimensional, irregular shaped collages of images, symbols, photographs and other visual material. These shaped collages are then laminated and cut out, to become a kind of flat sculpture with shapes and voids around the perimeter of each collage but also within and throughout the entire composition. They are floated in a shadow box frame which brings out their 3 dimensionality. The “Laminates” were a product of an evolution of ideas and impulses that lead the artist to move on to the more robust 3 dimensionality of the “Rackets”.

Mike Henderson: The Black Paintings + David Simpson: Interference On view through March 28, 2020 at Haines Gallery.

Mike Henderson: The Black Paintings (MFA 1970): Showcasing a body of related works made primarily in the 1990s by recent Artadia Award winner Mike Henderson, the paintings included in this exhibition feature a rich palette of lush blacks, steel grays, and ultramarine blues. Set against the darkness, small shapes of bright blues, yellows, and reds flicker like jewels. Henderson’s experimental films from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s will be shown in dialogue with the paintings. Politically charged and wickedly funny, these remarkable shorts have been screened at museums and festivals around the world. In addition to the exhibition, The Mike Henderson Band will be performing on January 17 as part of UNTITLED, ART San Francisco. Click here for tickets and more information!

David Simpson: Interference (BFA 1956): Acclaimed Bay Area painter David Simpson’s exhibition takes its title from his use of “interference” pigments, which shift in color with changes in light and the viewer’s perspective. Each canvas on view is the result of up to thirty coats of paint, meticulously layered to create a deep, lustrous surface. Now in his 90s, Simpson continues to delight with works of remarkable dynamism, evoking the movement of clouds, or the play of light across water, ultimately offering viewers a powerful space of contemplation.

Reencuentro Para olvidarme del dolor y hasta de mí misma. Temiendo al vacío, al sinsentido, me sumerjo más en él. En el bullicioso mundo vanal. Aburrimiento disfrazado de diversión. Voy modelando mi estilo de vida sufriente. Sobreestimulándome con cualquier cosa, para aturdirme. Esquiva al encuentro con mis sombras. Siempre vestida. Pero la despiadada noche me encuentra. Impetuosa noche, ¡insolente! Me rasga el vestido. Me deja desnuda ante mi esperanza deshilachada ,mis sueños hechos girones, mis mañanas descosidas. Me encierra en una habitación a solas. Me enfrenta con mi hastío. Agoto mis lágrimas y mis lamentos. Y me extravío en un invierno inacabable. Cancelando ventanas, clausurando celosías, abarrotando puertas; para no poder escapar de mi encierro. Y el aburrimiento se transforma en tedio. … Desde un amanecer en estreno se arremolinan pétalos de flores nuevas, mañanas sin uso, aromas de secretos desvendados. Torrente creativo que libera.

MUJERARTE, Artistas en pie de Igualdad, lanza su 5ta. temporada “Mujerarte XXI” por YouTube

Inauguración: 24/9, 19 hs.

Streaming + Estreno Video Homenaje Emilia Bertolé 125º aniversario

Invitadas: Nora Avaro (Emilia Bertolé, obra poética y pictórica) y

Georgina Gluzman (El canon accidental, MNBA)

“MujerArte”, programa de radio dedicado a visibilizar a las mujeres artistas contemporáneas e históricas, reivindicar su rol, valorizar sus obras y estimular la reflexión sobre género, imagen e identidad, lanza su quinta temporada “Mujerarte XXI” como ciclo de Videos y Podcasts por el canal www.youtube.com/c/MujerArteradio

El 24 de septiembre a las 19 hs. Mujerarte XXI realizará la inauguración del ciclo con el estreno del Especial “Emilia Bertolé: de poemas y retratos”, un díptico de videos de divulgación que homenajea a la gran pintora y poeta argentina Emilia Bertolé (1896-1949) a 125 años de su nacimiento. El especial será presentado con un streaming en vivo por su equipo de realizadoras, Sandra Giron, Silvia Fernández y Silvia Talía, y la participación de Nora Avaro, Lic. en Letras y Magister en Literatura Argentina (UNRosario), autora del libro Emilia Bertolé, obra poética y pictórica, y Georgina Gluzman, Dra. en Historia y Teoría de las Artes (UBA), curadora de la muestra de pintoras argentinas El canon accidental, actualmente expuesta en el Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes. La charla de presentación y los dos videos se transmitirán por el canal MujerarArteradio de YouTube

El díptico actualiza la importancia de la retratista rosarina y explora cómo la pintura y la poesía se relacionan en torno a su concepto de “ideas-cuadro”. El primer video, “Bella niña rosarina”, pone en diálogo el poema Retrato con el autorretrato del mismo nombre y el segundo, “El único lazo”, relaciona el poema El viejo libro con un retrato del poeta mendocino Alfredo Bufano. Ambas obras se encuentran en el Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes.

El equipo de Mujerarte XXI eligió a esta artista para inaugurar su ciclo porque “Emilia Bertolé fue una célebre retratista y sensible poeta, artista exitosa en su época, reconocida y admirada. De proverbial belleza, tuvo a la vez fama de mujer inalcanzable. Sin embargo la falta de noticias acerca de su persona y su figura “borrada” de museos y textos de historia del arte argentino no hace más que confirmar el mismo destino que se asigna a otras artistas que como ella pasan de la notoriedad en vida a la postergación luego de su muerte”, expresan Sandra Giron, Silvia Fernández y Silvia Talía, quienes sienten afinidad con“la sensibilidad que manifiesta Emilia Bertolé en su obra; tanto sus pinturas como sus poemas son delicados, emotivos y dan cuenta de un manejo técnico impecable”.

Además de los videos, el ciclo Mujerarte XXI incluye una serie de PODCASTS ILUSTRADOS con entrevistas a artistas argentinas como Marta Bianchi, actriz y cofundadora de la ONG La mujer y el cine, la escritora Liliana Heker y notas sobre figuras internacionales como la cantante y compositora veneciana del s. XVII Bárbara Strozzi, la reportera gráfica Gerda Taro (Robert Capa) y la banda de rock Fanny. Las piezas son ediciones ilustradas de las mejores notas y entrevistas de las cuatro temporadas de radio y se vienen emitiendo desde agosto con estrenos los viernes a las 19 hs. por el canal www.youtube.com/c/MujerArteradio

El ciclo Mujerarte XXI cuenta con el auspicio del Programa de Mecenazgo del Ministerio de Cultura de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.

Acerca de Emilia Bertolé

Emilia Bertolé fue una talentosa pintora y poeta rosarina nacida a finales del siglo XIX. Pasó de ser una niña prodigio, excluida de la escuela por problemas de conducta, a convertirse en casi la única alumna mujer que estudió formalmente dibujo y pintura en la prestigiosa Academia Casella. A comienzos de 1920 se instaló en Buenos Aires, donde participó en la bohemia porteña y se convirtió en una de las más célebres, requeridas y exitosas retratistas de su tiempo refutando la vana profecía de Lola Mora, quien siendo jurado de un concurso que le otorgó la medalla de oro a Emilia a los 12 años dijo “A los 18 años no será nada”. Expuso varias veces en el Salón Nacional y museos provinciales y obtuvo importantes premios. Retrató a las principales personalidades de la política, la sociedad y el espectáculo; trabajó como ilustradora de colecciones editoriales, diarios y portadas de revistas populares como El Hogar y Sintonía y se desempeñó como modelo publicitaria para marcas como Cutex. Como escritora integró el grupo literario Anaconda, fundado por Horacio Quiroga. Forjó amistad con Quiroga -su eterno enamorado-, Alfonsina Storni y Alfredo Bufano. En 1927 publicó el libro de poemas Espejo en sombra. Artistas de la talla de Storni, García Lorca y el escritor y editor Juan Felipe Mantecón elogiaron públicamente su obra y su talento. Sin embargo fue sistemáticamente excluida de los libros de historia del arte. Dijo sobre ella Mantecón: “Bertolé es una mujer obsesionante. Físicamente bella y gentil, fresca e ingenua y, a la vez, delicadamente sensitiva y misteriosa”, y ella dijo de sí misma: “Con el arte, yo me siento extraordinariamente fuerte…” (OPP p. 34) “Y si fuera hombre, bohemio como yo no existiría en la madre tierra...” (OPP p. 39).

Acerca de MujerArte

MujerArte fue creado con el objetivo de visibilizar a las artistas mujeres con obras de una calidad admirable cuya trayectoria no fue reconocida y que ocuparon un lugar mínimo en las artes a lo largo de la historia. Al mismo tiempo, dar a conocer la problemática de la lucha por su des-ocultamiento a partir del auge de los movimientos feministas, la producción bibliográfica de la historia y la teoría del arte con perspectiva de género y el trabajo de las asociaciones y colectivos feministas que conquistaron el espacio público. Nació a partir de una idea de Sandra Giron, Profesora de Filosofía de la UBA, docente de Estética en UBA y UNA, traductora e investigadora, junto con Silvia Fernández, guitarrista, Magister de la UNCuyo, fundadora del Instituto Superior de Formación Artística J. P. Esnaola y gestora cultural y en 2019 se sumó Silvia Talía, docente de idioma inglés. Se emitió durante cuatro temporadas como programa semanal en vivo en RadioyPunto y PuntoCero, en las que entrevistaron a más de cincuenta artistas y expertas argentinas en distintas disciplinas y rescataron a valiosas creadoras del ámbito internacional. En agosto de 2021 iniciaron su quinta temporada como ciclo de videos de divulgación y podcasts ilustrados Mujerarte XXI, con estrenos semanales en su canal de YouTube y redes sociales.
