You Were Born Here, You Will Die Here

Monday, February 22, 2010


When one graduates from a four year art degree it is not uncommon to feel a little disillusioned. One wonders how they could possibly use this newly acquired degree to benefit society in some way. Most fine art students discontinue their mode of artistic production and reevaluate their priority's to suit their post student environment. Even though post art student status can be daunting and depressing at times the one thing that doesn't change is the urge to create. Often the only option is to find alternative avenues that do not strictly fit into a fine art system.

So I've basically been a little distracted lately, but for good reason. I've been involved in a project that could be argued as virtual performance art, conceptual comedy or online terrorism, it depends on how you perceive it. I see it as a beautiful bundle of all three. It started as a fairly straight forward idea and expanded almost controllably until it became what it is today. This introduction is a bit too elaborate for my taste so I will withhold any further vagueness and present www.murderbook.org

About Mixtape

Mixtape is a blog run (loosely) by Linda Stupart as a manifestation of a project in which she collaborates with a large group of smart, interesting, wonderful cultural producers. As such, Mixtape documents these collaborations. More than that, though, the blog serves as a space for each member of the project to post whatever they like: Tell us what they’re making, thinking, doing or, even, feeling. The blog also forms a space for Linda, a Cape Town based critic, artist, feminist, WWE fan and cultural commentator, to post her writing.
