"Vagabundo! So porque nao tem trabalho quer estragar o meu" urrava uma das alunas em meio a comocao causada pelo formando Rafa Pixobomb nesta quinta-feira a noite, na exposicao de final de curso de artes visuais do Centro Universitario Belas Artes. Artista e pixador formado pela ilustre escola das ruas e predios escalados na grande babilonia da garoa, Rafa Pixobomb e morador de Barueri, zona oeste da regiao metropolitana da Grande Sao Paulo – e gracas a uma bolsa de estudos, universitario em fase de tese de conclusao de curso.

Tudo parecia tranquilo no saguao que abriga a galeria central da universidade, onde telas, videos e instalacoes produzidas pelos formandos da vez estavam expostos conforme o previsto. Alunos, pais orgulhosos e professores transitavam pelo bulevar de entrada, quando a maior intervencao artistica jamais vista numa faculdade de arte comecou a tomar forma. Na infantaria, Rafa, de camiseta enrolada na cara e latinha na mao invade a galeria e comeca a pixar uma das paredes: "e voce...", rapidamente, uma das maes esbofeteia a cabeca do aluno com um buque de rosas brancas, e na sequencia um dos transeuntes, indignado, empurra o pixador com entusiasmo. Confusao. Outro pixador ja tinha invadido e pintado outra parede, e entao um dos segurancas da faculdade comeca a usar forca fisica.

Mas a essas alturas o mutirao que reuniu cerca de trinta pixadores de uma safra bem significativa da cidade ja tinha pintado o outro predio, as paredes de fora – e conforme a tradicao, em alturas inalcancaveis – o hall de entrada, o primeiro lance de escadas. Arte como crime, crime como arte, frases como "antes o barulho ensurdecedor", fazendo mencao ao TSSSssss ecoando das latinhas; "Abra os olhos e vera a inevitavel marca na historia", com gosto do choque inedito entre academia e rua; e "As belas das artes", em homenagens as indignadas cocotas universitarias. E agressivo, e forte e causa desordem no pensamento dos espectadores, pois sao essas letras pixadas por um bando de malucos semi-suicidas que servem de buraco de fechadura para questoes sociais profundas e hiper abandonadas pela percepcao intelectual e humanistica da classe media em geral. E da-lhe tempo ao tempo.

Foi interessante ver a reacao mega reacionaria de jovens estudantes de arte. Quem estuda arte hoje em dia parece nao sentir o espirito do maior movimento estetico da atualidade em Sao Paulo, so o calafrio. Esta em todos os cantos. No pico dos predios mais altos, nas janelas, nos muros e trens. E feio ne, com a estetica maltratada de quem so se fodeu na vida mas tem forca inesgotavel pra escalar 20 andares, cair, levar choque, ter convulsao a beira do tiete, sempre com a latinha na mao pra existir. E o barulho de fato e ensurdecedor. O que sera que esses meninos dizem e com quem dialogam ao arriscar a propria vida, a levar geral toda hora da policia, a subverter a visao urbanistica da cidade? E porque sera que eles nao tem medo?
Talvez a resposta seja grande demais, e comeca com a frase que Rafael Pixobomb jamais terminou: "E VOCE...".

E o pau comeu solto mesmo foi na rua, violencia, porrada, latas voando, segurancas nervosos, uma serie de cameras. Parece que a Folha de Sao Paulo ate chegou a tempo de pegar alguma coisa. Da sala de seguranca para a delegacia, Rafa e mais meia duzia de pixadores que nao arredaram o pe de la – modalidade quase inedita na pixacao ja que tudo sempre deve acontecer o mais rapido possivel para a fuga ser certeira – ficaram detidos um bom tempo.

Art-Attack: pixador student explains his thesis at the Fine Arts in Sao Paulo

by Camile Sproesser

"Vagabundo! Just because work has not either spoil my urrava one of the students in the midst of commotion caused by forming Rafah Pixobomb this Thursday the night, the end of course exhibition of visual arts of the University Center Fine Arts. Artist and pixador formed by the illustrious school of the streets and buildings in large scaled babilonia of garoa, is resident of Rafah Pixobomb Barueri, west side of the metropolitan region of Greater Sao Paulo - and thanks to a grant of studies, university being thesis of completion of course.

Everything seemed calm in the foyer that houses the university's central gallery, where paintings, videos and installations produced by the time the trainees were exposed as required. Students, parents and teachers proud transiting through the boulevard of entry where the greatest speech ever seen in an artistic power of art began to take shape. In the infantry, Rafah, in the face and shirt rolled latinha in hand invades the gallery and starts pixar one of the walls: "are you ...", quickly, one of the mothers esbofeteia the head of the student with a bouquet of white roses, and a sequence of passersby, angry, pushes the pixador with enthusiasm. Confusion. Another pixador had already invaded and painted another wall, and then one of the security guards

History of the Cherry Trees
in Washington, D.C.

The plantings of cherry trees originated in 1912 as gift of friendship to the United States from the people of Japan. In Japan the flowering cherry tree or "Sakura", as it is called by the Japanese people, is one of the most exalted flowering plants. The beauty of the cherry blossom is a potent symbol equated with evanescence of human life and epitomizes the transformations Japanese Culture has undergone through the ages.

1885: Mrs. Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore,upon returning to Washington from her first visit to Japan, approached the Superintendent of Public Building and Grounds, Colonel Spencer Cosby, with the proposal that cherry trees be planted along the soon to reclaimed Potomac waterfront. Her request fell on deaf ears. Over the next 24 years Mrs. Scidmore approached every new Superintendent with her proposal with no success.

1906: Dr. David Fairchild, plant explorer and U.S. Department of Agriculture official,
imported 75 flowering cherry trees and 25 single-flowered weeping types from the Yokohama Nursery Company in Japan. He planted these on a hillside on his own land in Chevy Chase, Maryland, where he was testing their hardiness.

1907: The Fairchilds, pleased with the success of the trees, began to promote Japanese flowering cherry trees as the ideal type of tree to plant along avenues in the Washington area. Friends of the Fairchilds also became interested and on September 26, arrangements were completed with the Chevy Chase Land Company to order 300 Oriental cherry trees for the Chevy Chase area.

1908: Dr. David Fairchild gave cherry saplings to boys from each District of Columbia school to plant in their schoolyard for the observance of Arbor Day. In closing his Arbor Day lecture, Dr. Fairchild for the first time expressed an appeal that the "Speedway" (the present day corridor of Independence Avenue, SW, in West Potomac Park) be transformed into a "Field of Cherries". In attendance was Eliza Scidmore, whom afterwards he referred to as a great authority on Japan.

1909: Mrs. Scidmore decided to try to raise the money required to purchase the cherry trees and then donate the trees to the city. As a matter of course Mrs. Scidmore sent a note to the new First Lady Helen Herron Taft outlining her new plan. First Lady Taft had once lived in Japan and was familiar with the beauty of the flowering cherry trees. Two days later the First Lady responded:

The White House, Washington.

April 7, 1909

Thank you very much for your suggestion about the cherry trees. I have taken the matter up and am promised the trees, but I thought perhaps it would be best to make an avenue of them, extending down to the turn in the road, as the other part (beyond the railroad bridge ) is still too rough to do any planting. Of course, they could not reflect in the water, but the effect would be very lovely of the long avenue. Let me know what you think about this.

Sincerely yours,

Helen H. Taft

April 8: The day after Mrs. Taft's letter of April 7, Dr. Jokichi Takamine, the Japanese chemist famous as the discoverer of adrenaline and takadiastase, was in Washington with Mr. Midzuno, Japanese consul in New York and when told that Washington was to have Japanese cherry trees planted along the Speedway, asked whether First Lady Taft would accept a donation of an additional 2,000 trees to fill out the area. Mr. Midzuno thought it was a fine idea and suggested that the trees be given in the name of the city of Tokyo. Dr. Takamine and Mr. Midzuno met with First Lady Taft, who accepted the offer of the 2,000 trees.

April 13: Five days after First Lady Taft's request, the Superintendent of Public Building and Grounds initiated the purchase of 90 Fugnezo Cherry Trees (Prunus serrulata "Fugenzo" from Hoopes Brothers and Thomas Co., West Chester, Pa. The trees were planted along the Potomac River from the present site of the Lincoln Memorial south toward East Potomac Park. After planting it was discovered that the trees were not correctly named. The trees were determined to be the cultivar Shirofugen (Prunus serrulata "Shirofugen" and have since disappeared.

August 30: The Japanese Embassy informed the Department of State that the City of Tokyo intended to donate 2,000 cherry trees to the United States to be planted along the Potomac River.

December 10: 2,000 cherry trees arrive in Seattle from Japan.

1910: January 6, trees arrive in Washington, DC

January 19: To everyone's dismay, an inspection team for the Department of Agriculture found the trees were infested with insects and nematodes and other diseases. To protect American growers, the department concluded that the trees must be destroyed.

January 28: Consent was given from President Taft to burn trees.

This diplomatic setback resulted in letters from the Secretary of State and representations to the Japanese Ambassador expressing deep regret of all concerned. Dr. T
