Book synopsis

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.
