******************
Esther Planas: ‘I Love To See You Pissing For Me…’
“My Journal as a Thief:
In the men’s urinals I found myself adoring you…
Jean Genet and the pissoirs in Barcelona…
A flower offering for them…
Thoughts stolen from Maurice Blanchot and Michael Focault…
Pictures of myself at the urinals of the George and Dragon…
Stolen and re-framed photos of Viggo Mortensen…
Cut and Paste…
Poems of lost times and abjection…
The ultimate erotic fétiche poem…”
Esther Planas (born in 1960 in Sant Gervasi de Cassoles, Barcelona, Catalunya; lives and works in London and Barcelona)
Esther Planas is a visual artist and performer based in London since 1999 where she has become a cult figure and created her own clandestine scene. Planas publishes her own magazine ‘Dark Star’, is a musician and has her own band ‘Dirty Snow’, every now and then she also runs her own night ‘Club Esther’. A poetic visionary, Planas collages her own demons without making any distinction between her art and her life.

Aldo Chaparro - ‘Too Drunk To Fuck’
“...I have to take a pee, the music from the bar is really loud, even with the door closed. On the loo walls, tons of bad drawings, dicks, tits, vaginas and impossible anatomies, next to insults, telephones and self-promotional phrases praising personal skills and attributes.
That ad with green ink... is it your number?”
Aldo Chaparro Winder (born in 1965 in Lima, Perú; lives and works in Mexico City)
Aldo Chaparro is known for expanding the boundaries that separate art from other disciplines, making of this frontier his central theme. Through different mediums, Chaparro remixes and edits references from the mediatic world pushing aside the notions of past and future to offer a present where simultaneousness co-exists. He is also the publisher of Celeste Magazine and editorial director of Celeste Editorial Group one of the most influential contemporary culture publishers from Latin America.

******************
On a personal note, Pablo Leon de la Barra would like to thank Esther Planas for being the first person to invite him in 2002 to exhibit in London, and Aldo Chaparro for always supporting the White Cubicle Gallery in the pages of Celeste, the magazine he co-publishes with his wife Vanesa Fernandez.
THE WHITE CUBICLE TOILET GALLERY measures 1.40 by 1.40 metres, is located within the Ladies Toilet of the George and Dragon, and works with no budget, staff or boundaries. White Cubicle presents a discerning programme of local and international manifestations as an antidote to London’s sometimes extremely commercial art scene. Past exhibitions have included the work of Deborah Castillo, Gregorio Magnani, Butt Magazine, Federico Herrero, Terence Koh, i-Cabin, Steven Gontarski, Pixis Fanzine/Princess Julia and Hanah, General Idea and avaf, Basso Magazin, Carl Hopgood, Giles Round, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Superm, (Brian Kenny and Slava Mogutin), Elkin Calderon, Wolfgang Tillmans, Calvin Holbrook/Hate Magazine, Husam el Odeh, Simon Popper, Fur, Dik Fagazine, Rick Castro/Abravanation, Jean Michel Wicker, Noki, Ellen Cantor, Karl Holmqvist, Julie Verhoeven...
