"The 3 pigs"

This book is about an interactive performance "The 3
pigs"- april 4,
2007 at 7pm
in the Laura Mesaros Gallery, Morgantown WV.
A dramatic parody
within the realm of conceptual art. Transplanting
the moral from a
traditional tale (The Three Little Pigs) to a
current world of politics
and iconized and institutional
ideas, The 3 Pigs questions definitions and ways
of acting. The
objective was to trigger the interactive process and
bring awareness
to alliances that attribute identities and provokes
fear towards the
other. The pigs-wolves situation and the gallery-
artist situation are
related to the U.S.-Mexico situation. Connected by
the idea for the
need for walls to protect them from a specific
interaction, fear
converts society, represented by the pigs and
audience members,
into the terrorists, the wolves.
The script treats fear as a major
ingredient for failure and an instrument for
political manipulation.
The other becomes the wolf, and the wall becomes
a symbol.
Separating the good ones (pigs) and the bad ones
(wolves), the
symbol acquires major importance.
