Felix Gonzalez-Torres - Portrait of Ross in L. A. (1991)

175 pounds of multicolored candy as a “portrait” of the artist’s partner Ross Laycock, who died of AIDS that same year.

Ross’s ideal healthy body weight was 175 pounds.

Attendees of the exhibit were instructed to take one piece of candy each.The dwindling pile paralleled Ross’s body languishing from the disease.

Gonzalez-Torres also instructed that the pile be continually replenished so that Ross could be symbolically reborn again and again.

Ensuring All Children Are Free From Experiences of Slavery | The White House

dontsellbodies:

Our Executive Director, Minh Dang, explains her work to abolish child sexual enslavement.

Clearly not everyone is enslaved, yet we are all impacted by the culture of slavery. It is our need to have someone “less” than us, whether that is through feeling more powerful, educated, or wealthy, that drives the enslavement of another human being. It is through our need to make someone feel the pains we have felt, to make them feel less human, which allows us to treat people like objects. It is in the roots of child abuse and slavery that we will find the roots of violence, discrimination and dehumanization. In expelling slavery in our nation and abroad, we will become a more safe, just, and compassionate society.

“

Of course man is useful to man, because his body is a marvellous machine and his mind an organ of wonderful efficiency. But he is a spirit as well, and this spirit is truly known only by love. When we define a man by the market value of the service we can expect of him, we know him imperfectly. With this limited knowledge of him it becomes easy for us to be unjust to him and to entertain feelings of triumphant self-congratulation when, on account of some cruel advantage on our side, we can get out of him much more than we have paid for. But when we know him as a spirit we know him as our own. We at once feel that cruelty to him is cruelty to ourselves, to make him small is stealing from our own humanity.

— Rabindranath Tagore (via ikenbot)
