Excerpts from the latest Vice
"Martha Álvarez likes piñas coladas and getting caught in the rain. Liar by nature , designer by heart, octopus lover, almost photographer, she has an obsession for renaming everything, even people."Mini-bio of Martha Álvarez by Martha Álvarez
"Time has been appropiated by institutions. They've taken it away from us. In this somewhat Marxist mind-frame, I clearly say that time has been transformed into production and then production into distribution. Our work time is converted into salary, and our leisure time into consumption."Antonio Vega Macotela in Mexican Rashes
"When i'm asked what I do, I answer that I slowly destroy myself; with this I mean that I take de desease's side, the side of life, of nothing. During those long nights when I try to drink until I'm laid out on the flor, there's always something left in my memoroy (half assed drinking seems like a waste to me, a luxury I can't allow myself). I'd like to have a notebook to write down some of what is said in that delirium, but I don't have any patience, and the times I've tried it I end up losing what I wrote.."Guillermo Fadanelli in Destroying myself
".. the notebook is so mistreated it looks like he snatched it out of a dog's mouth, The turn of phrase that seems brilliant when we're drunk can wake up dead the next day, but we take the risk. I guess that's what nocturnal writing is, to be ephemeral, to kill yourself before you come across a moral truth or a memorable sentence, Nevertheless, it's possible that in our zeal for destruction we might suddendly find a real poison, and then things would become less stupid."
