Salon Canning - Guillermo Monteleone Tango Photomontage Mural Is Coming Down

(photographer unknown)






























Photographer Guillermo Monteleone: [click for the entire mural]






Very sad news that Salon Canning has apparently decided to take down photographer Monteleone Tango's mural. That mural, for me, *is* Salon Canning. Post by [Guillermo] Monteleone Tango:

"Los administradores del Salon Canning han decidido unilateralmente bajar el mural Milonga que desde 2006 ha representado a la sala. Quiero dejar claro que no he sido yo, que no he sido consultado y que no autorice la manipulacion de la obra de mi autoria y propiedad. La semana pasada solo he recibido un pedido de retirar la muestra del pasillo dado el interes de alquilar el espacio como galeria de arte. Accion que lleve adelante el martes 15 como fue de publico conocimiento.

Salon Canning managers have unilaterally decided to take down the Milonga mural that has represented the hall since 2006. I want to make it clear that it wasn't me, that I wasn't consulted and that I don't allow the manipulation of the work of my authorship and property. Last week I only received a request to remove the sample hallway given the interest in renting the space as an art gallery. Action that goes ahead on Tuesday 15th as it was public knowledge. I don't know the motives that led them to such behaviors. "



He uploads wonderful images to his Facebook profile, mostly Salon Canning/Milonga Parakultural...
