Piotr Uklanski
The young Polish artist Piotr Uklanski’s controversial work The Nazis consists of 164 photographic images of movie actors in German military regalia.
His most recent show, “Bialo-Czerwona” opened at Gagosian NY in March and looked like a spin off of a Jeff Koons piece . Is he making fun of good old Gags or just indulging himself with their money? Ironic, pseudo-political, and pseudo-religious pop Monuments? Thanks Piotr, it’s what Disney always wanted.

Mexico police hunt serial killer
Mexico City police are hunting a serial killer thought to be behind the unusual murders of as many as 15 elderly women.
The suspect - nicknamed “Mataviejitas” or the “Little Old Lady Killer” - is thought to be a man dressed in women’s clothes or a well-built woman.
The killer is said to have entered the victims’ homes by winning their trust - possibly by posing as a health worker - before beating and strangling them.
The Mexican capital has one of the highest crime rates in the world.
Bizarre coincidence?
Witnesses in the case of an 85-year-old widow killed last month said they saw a large woman in a red blouse - who may also have been a man disguised as a woman - leaving the victim’s house.
Mexico City chief prosecutor Bernardo Batiz said the killer was “brilliantly clever”, acting alone and winning the confidence of old people.
Three of the last four victims of the killer owned a print of an 18th century painting, Boy in Red Waistcoat, by French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze.
Prosecutors say this bizarre link may be mere coincidence.
A government body has distributed thousands of leaflets warning the elderly over the killings.
Mexican authorities have been criticised by the United Nations for failing to solve cases of violence against women.
The unsolved murders of hundreds of women in the border city of Ciudad Juarez over the last decade have attracted international attention.
Her name was
Angela Vasquez, of the angels, emigrated to the city of, in the early 19 hundred’s, eldest of 8, born a scorpio,on November 9th, 1908, lived a scorpio, died 98 years later. Stories were told of a young Angela dancing with Pancho Villa in a small pueblo in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico, she must have been 6 or so. Years later a young Angela paid her way to cross the border, went back on train to retrieve her 8 brothers and sisters after making enough money working in the cotton fields. Years later married had 8 kids of her own, one of which was named Olivia, my mother, who later had me. I’ve always said the strength in my family was passed down from the women. I’ll say it again. Can’t you see a resemblance?
