When I was at school, I remember taught me about environment in biology class, I learned with activities as draw “the well-being of the planet”, protect the environment and recycling process.  Also, I saw impact litter in documentaries, the plastic discompose slowly, after many years.

I live with my mother, and We recycle plastic bottles or soda can, we separate the bottles or cans of regular trash and We go to "special" trash can in supermarket for throw away there.

I like ride my bicycle for short distances or I walk, instead of use car. I live away from city, then even farther away from university, even so I take bus. 

Once I was march of "Salvemos Punta de Choros" because a friend asked me accompany him, I knew about many environmental organizations, ecological groups that to fight for a cause, in this case the animals. Some friends are vegetarians because if you eat meat, they say you are against animals and they have a ecological speech. I think it´s not necessary be "vegano" for protect animals, I understand that exist violence in circus, milk´s company when it apply electricity to cows, whale hunt, etc. It´s criminal actions, but if I decide I don't eat meat, ¿help something?. 

The people become aware about environment because actually is informed of damages for planet, there is ecological fairs with differents stands, where you can learn to recycle, make vegetable garden, bury organics waste. 

Beuys

Joseph Beuys was a German artist, sculptor, performer and theorist and pedagogue of art. In the Second World War, he participated in Nazi Party, he went to Crimea, and in this place he had a plane crash, later he returned to Kleve with his parents. He retired of Nazi militancy because he became artist.

I like his performances, for example “I like America and America likes me”, Beuys interacted with one coyote, in René Block Gallery (New York), for three days. It has been dialogue between he and animal, he used some elements: a felt thick and staff. The coyote watched him, while Beuys coated with felt, until they got along. This performance shows the survival, because coyote is an American animal, so Beuys related with “the primitivism or the nature symbol” opposed to superpower politics of U.S.A.

Also he proposed the shamanism in his artworks, the art is something curative for people, above everything post World War, cause of many deaths, he thought that across performances he could cure society. Therefore, he explained a new concept of art about “anybody could be artist”, if there were actions representing ideas from visual arts, different techniques together with a body in movement. 

Marina Abramovic

"Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present"

The article exposed about documentary " The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic", or rather, one of her performances in MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York two years ago. According to Salomons, it`s a excellent documentary because explains about performance art and retrospective work of Abramovic, she is a famous performer, because she had many years`s experience in this field. 
The movie was realized by Matthew Aker, it shows the performance named "The Artist Is Present", she sat for seven and half hours, every day, for three months, on a chair  without food or water, gazing into the eyes, expressionless, of audience memebers and vistitor who sat opposite her, gazing back. Also, it talks about relationship with Ulay, another performer, sometimes they do performances together. 

It`s very interesting for me, because I like performance art, the use of body as artistic material. Marina Abramovic is known for masochist practices inside her performances, many cuts, blood, etc. But, in "The Artist Is Present" she was still, only sat looking to visitors, her resistance is notable, the longest duration. In MoMA, while Abramovic presents the performance, besides there was exposition with documenting of she. Her action seems simple, I think that is a awkward situation sit in front of Marina, she stares you. 

In my career never I learn about perfomance art, because here the teachers are very conservatives, not so in Theater Faculty.
