just wanna clarify the source for one of Alefantis' Instagram pics ( pizzagate )

submitted by sundalanded

i mean this one . if this has already been discussed, then i will gladly delete this submission.

i was browsing through Alefantis' Instagram images and believe i've stumbled upon the source of that particular picture - it's the work of "LA-Based art collective My Barbarian (Malik Gaines,Jade Gordon, and Alexandro Segade)" from " Broke People’s Baroque Peoples’ Theater series of exhibitions, Flat Busted Wig Beauty Window Fatale , an installation designed for Transformer."

recall that Transformer = Washington, DC arts organization of which Alefantis is board president .

here's a related pic from a gallery of images for the installation.

Clearly you haven't been paying attention because we source every single speck of information. Isn't it time for you to pick up your check?

Fateswebb

How is it that there was someone commenting on it with the name pizzagate that confuses me.... I guess it was early on before he blocked access?

Ok, so, we already knew that Alefantis likes weird art. What does this prove? He has an instagram pic of art from an organization that he is associated with. So what?

Pizzainmyass

Well I think before this was sort of interpreted as some sort of ritual and may actually be a legitimate art piece

Fateswebb

Marina has been quoted as saying something along the lines of, when we do it as art it's art, when we do it for real it's real... sorry not exact quote, but she expressed that message.

Pizzainmyass

That was about the spirit cooking. However, I'm sure it can apply to any sort of ritual but this post was about how this specific insta pic may be at an art gallery. Meaning that her quote applies here but because it's legitimate art cause it's at a gallery.

Fateswebb

Yes I agree, just saying I think it kinda turns them on that some of these rituals are used as art. Ithis very well could be a real ritual, but sold as art.

Pizzainmyass

Ooooo yeah. I definitely agree

sundalanded

yes - if this community means to conduct a thorough investigation as rigorously as possible (despite the constraints upon us), then nailing down points of fact is important just for the sake of comprehensiveness, even beyond a particular point's ultimate relevance. just for housekeeping purposes, it allows us to maintain focus while sweeping away inaccurate inferences.

i actually wanted to take another look at this particular picture b/c i thought it might relate to the Pegasus "museum" piece. having its source pinned down means the community can marshal our energies elsewhere, or start from specific facts (such as the artists' names) if further investigation is desired.

Pizzainmyass

Couldn't agree more. If this is an actual art piece, then once that's confirmed, for anyone to spread it further would be disinformation. Good find. Cause if you're wrong, I'm sure multiple people would be quick to give a good explanation of why (may have happened lol I didn't look thru comments since I originally posted)

OK, I'm not sure you can say 'crazy theories' anymore! Alefantis just told a Pizzagater within the last 24 hours that what people are saying here is basically true, except that he's not into kids 'at all.'

Every time you shill more, we dig deeper.

SIMONBARROW

Ok, I'm glad to find out where it came from. Some of Alefantis's other posts were also not his own, but just ones he presumably liked. The one with the girl saying "I don't care about my beauty, I just want my pizza" came from a pizza-obsessed Tumblr called, of all things, clintonlovespizza. I don't know if it' still up.

Good find, OP. Thank you for providing archived links. If you are able to add additional information as you dig about the artist, the title of the picture etc. please add to this thread. Depending on what you find, you may want to delete and repost with a better, more specific title so that people can find it more easily on the board.

sundalanded

thank you. if there's further digging done on this or you otherwise feel it merits a better title, i'm happy to do so.

Sorry but is it just me or other threads aren't accessible?

Vindicator

All threads on Voat are accessible. Those removed by moderators because they failed to fulfill the submission requirements for v/pizzagate can be found under Removed Submissions in the lower right corner of the sidebar.

wokethefkup

Yes but around 12:36 no threads were accessible. I wrote it down the time stamps and all but I'm not home to bother it's Friday mate!

Vindicator

We haven't taken it down.

SIMONBARROW

Which is one of the things I really like about Voat! It's a very good system from that point of view.

Vindicator

Me, too.

That is possible. It's he underlying message people are interested in however.
