So I heard that you plan you come back to Mexico with the Hell, ETC., art exhibition ,is that true or is it still in the works?
MM: I'm planning to come back to Mexico sometime soon, the rest you can wait and see.
MÉXICO DF, DF .- For the first time in Mexico, this side of the singer will be unveiled at an exhibition that brings together his recent works.
Oscar Cid de León / Agency Reforma MÉXICO City .- Transgression and darkness are words that define Marilyn Manson. In correspondence with his music, his imagery is governed by a personality that causes rejection while in some other charm. Because, although it is widely recognized within this field, the author of albums like The Golden Age of Grotesque Antichrist Superstar and also paints.
For the first time in Mexico, the latter aspect will be unveiled at an exhibition that seeks to bring together his most recent work. The location is still on track to be confirmed, but the production company that will allow their presence in the country, Ingrid Barajas, advances to take place during the first half of 2011. "Marilyn Manson's painting today, and what is being prepared an exhibition with their latest work. The first seeks to expose some of their parts and work with a Mexican curator (not yet confirmed), "Barajas forward in an interview.
What is sought, he said, for Mexico is to reveal the plastic side of the artist. With this show, the City would become the second Latin American city to expose the plastic task of the musician. Sao Paulo was the first, where in 2007 showed 29 pieces under the title The Flowers of Evil (Les Fleurs Du Mal), in allusion to the classic Charles Baudelaire, poet.Tentatively, Mexico will display the name of Hell, ETC. His own "hell" will be unveiled in at least 50 watercolors, portraits generally disfigured beings, mortuary, in expressions of grief, pain or hopelessness. Barajas say, some of which are mixtures of color with absinthe. This is a technique adopted by chance, when he accidentally rinsed the brush into a drinking a glass rather do it in the water container that normally occupies.
Barajas, who heads the company 212 Productions, which last year made possible the photographer David LaChapelle exhibition at the Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso, admiring the plastic task Manson, who qualifies as a highly intellectual person. "His work reflects that dark side that somehow we all have. He is a person who has learned to express her dark side without an opinion that the person on the bottom line is: a shy, pleasant, quiet, which otherwise externalized when singing. "
Manson's relationship with 212 Productions and was at the beginning of the decade, when in 202 the magazine Flaunt and producer he organized his first exhibition at the Exhibition Center of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. "The possibility of exhibiting in Mexico enchanted him. He was not looking for it. It is something we proposed, "said Barajas. "He has many followers here. There is a lot of fans that he respects him. Has a group of fans, and even a few of them knew that he was also a painter." Manson, who also has a career as an actor and director film, he began painting in the late 1990s. His relationship with the art gallery also gives, as in Los Angeles owns the Celebritarian Corporation Gallery of Fine Art.
So he said: "A Latin American level, Marilyn Manson and showed their work once in Brazil, although it was a small sample. We, however, are preparing an exhibition of new works, at least 50 pieces or more, generally watercolors. "Ingrid Barajas, Director of 212 Productions
Sick city, yeah, restless people
Sick city burn their houses down
To make the sky look pretty
What can I do?
I'm just a person
This is a lie we always seem to hear
You just sit and things get worse
Watch tv and drink your beer
Walking all alone
Not going anywhere
Walking all alone
Nobody seems to care
Restless as wind
This town is killing me
Gotta put an end to this
Restless misery
And I'm just one of those restless people
That can never be satisfied with living
In this sick ol' sick ol' sick sick sick city
Might be too late for me to say goodbye
Might be too late to watch this sick ol' city die
Go on the road,
Yeah im gonna try to say
Sick city so long farewell
Goodbye and die.
Hard at work on her latest project, Evan Rachel Wood was all dolled up on the set of "Mildred Pierce" in New York City on Friday afternoon (May 28).
Donning quite the adorable pink and black ensemble, the "True Blood" babe got a visit from fiance rocker Marilyn Manson on-set in between the day's shoot.
Also on set was the production's big star, Kate Winslet, who swapped in and out of various wardrobes during the week-ending work duties.
The upcoming HBO movie is about "divorced single mom Mildred Pierce, who decides to open a restaurant business which tears at the already-strained relationship with her her ambitious elder daughter, Veda."

One of the most exciting new projects to surface amidst the many screenings and parties at Cannes Film Festival is "Splatter Sisters," a horror flick set to star Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood. I'm pretty stoked for it, especially with David Gordon Green and Edward Pressman ("The Crow," "American Psycho") producing. Adam Bhala Lough will direct, following up his stellar 2009 Lil Wayne documentary "The Carter."
As soon as I read about "Splatter Sisters," I wanted to know more. The original report mentions gore, exploitation and a desire to in some way evolve "Skinemax" film, similar to how Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez throw back to the '70s in "Grindhouse." So I put in a call to Pressman's office; not only was he more than happy to talk about "Splatter Sisters," he also connected me with Lough for an in-depth follow-up chat. Pressman's comments are after the jump; check back here tomorrow for a deep dive into Lough's twisted vision.
"The project and Adam Lough were introduced to me by David Gordon Green who I've known since he did 'George Washington,'" Pressman said. "I don't know how old David is, he's less than 30, but he already has a couple of proteges."
"I saw [Adam's] work and thought he was very talented and smart. David and he came up with the idea [for 'Splatter Sisters'] together really." He went on to reveal that Lough pitched the film with a show reel made up of movie clips, including material from "Natural Born Killers," Japanese filmmaker Takeshi Kitano and a number of horror films.
The intent is for "Splatter Sisters" to hearken back to Skinemax-era exploitation. More on this tomorrow, as Lough has a very clear idea of what that means. Speaking to Pressman, it's clear that he has the utmost faith in his director. The next step at this point is bringing it all together.
"We wanted to get the cash set, which we now have," he said. "We've met some people interested in financing it and some music-related companies are interested [as well], so we're right in the middle of arranging the financing with the aim of doing the film this winter. It's got to work around Evan's schedule, and also Marilyn's going on tour, but that seems to be the best [possibility]."
One fact which fans of Manson's music will find very interesting is that he has plans to incorporate those talents into the movie. "Marilyn is a death metal rocker, which is a different kind of music than he's known for. He's going to form a new band for the film... that would record or tour for this new entity," Pressman said.
Also intriguing is the idea of seeing Manson's on-screen chemistry with Wood, to whom he is engaged. "Evan is one of these two Splatter Sisters. They're... totally alienated from their families, who are not good to them, and they take on a vagabond life. They're on the road... to go to Hollywood. They're fans of Marilyn's band and become indoctrinated under his spell in the movie."

6:19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;Here, from our point of view is a deep reflection that relates in part to the accumulation of material goods. In this era of high consumerism and cult of the object its's well worth thinking about these words, as we won't keep anything when we are dead. That is, what we have inside, what makes us special is the real treasure and also transcends, and will be present both on Earth and in Heaven.
6:20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not steal.
6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
"Money, So They Say, is a root of all evil today"
"because the root of all evil is the love of money, which while some coveted after, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs ."This is just a personal reflection, which treasures has he left you?

Romanticism ----- Anxiety ----- Apprehension ----- Unrealistic ideas
"prick you finger, it is done, the Moon has now eclipsed the Sun, angel has spread its wings, the time has come for bitter things."and it is repeated numerous times in both songs as some kind of invocation, not that has to anything with the Devil but yes a new beginning, a cycle which is like a pattern for the famous Triptych (Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals and Holywood). Each of the identities he has experiments a rise and a fall, death and rebirth. The same concept has been used frequently in Alejandro Jodorowsky's work, specially in El Topo.
"when a boy is still a worm it's hard to learn the number 7."(Cryptorchid, 1996)
"here comes the Moon again,"which could be an analogy for a new beginning.
When Lou Reed and Iggy Pop first met David Bowie in the fall of 1971, Bowie was just another English musician passing through New York City. Lou was still recovering from the collapse of the Velvet Underground, and Iggy had already been branded a loser... Yet within two years they completely changed the face of popular music with a decadent glamour and street-level vibe. With Bowie producing, Reed's Transformer album was a worldwide hit, spinning off the sleazy street anthem “Walk on the Wild Side.” Iggy's Raw Power, mixed by Bowie, provided the mean-spirited, high-octane blueprint for Punk. Bowie boosted elements from both Iggy and Reed to create his gender-bending rock idol Ziggy Stardust.(source: Wikipedia, Backbeat Books)
Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell is the story of this friendship and the incredible productivity and debauchery that emerged from it. Presented here for the very first time are their stories interwoven in a triple helix of sexuality, glam rock, and drugs – as seen through the eyes of the people who made it happen.
after my shoot with Adam Lough (the Carter). Inspirational work for his film, The Splatter Sisters.
Torture-production-orientation film created in a very different time. First used to write the song WoW, circa 2008(MM, 2010)
There’s a word that’s like you(from WoW, the High End of Low)
Because it can be a noun, a verb, a exclamation, or the thing I say
it doesn't matter how many times I say it, it never gets old...(from WoW, the High End of Low)
"Won't I panic in a pit now"
When the word is physically inverted it spells "MOM". Also, Manson had this word tattooed into one of his wrists.
Psychological torture in a few words.
THE VIDEO
That fascinating part about this clip are the multiple visual references. I instantly remembered while watching Evan twirling the strap in her dress in a very naive mood the image of Elizabeth Short in the Black Dahlia.
Manson already did several 'tribute' paintings to the actress who was inmortalized by her gruesome murder and not her films. In the evidence found at the scene of the crime her cheeks were slit to resemble a bigger smile, (also known as the Glasgow Smile)and you can see it the smeared lipstick in the "WOW" video.
Mia Kirshner as Elizabeth Short, nicknamed "The Black Dahlia".
