In the Jungle There Is Much to Do
Mauricio Gatti
Berlin Bienale - 12.00€ -

Originally written as letters from enclosure, In the Jungle There Is Much to Do came out of the words and drawings sent by Mauricio Gatti, a young anarchist, to his three-year-old daughter, while he was imprisoned in military barracks in Montevideo. In 1972 the compiled letters were made into a book published by his comrades from the commune Comunidad del Sur. It tells the story of an elephant, a snail, a turtle, a seal, and a bird. They are all trapped by a hunter, who understands nothing of the jungle and who locks them up in the city zoo, where they miss their home and little ones. This fable for all ages about political prison was republished by different small organizations associated with the international solidarity movement supporting Latin American political refugees in the 1970s and 1980s.

Among these editions was a coloring book published in the GDR, which we used as a basis for a new German edition. The original text by Gatti was translated into English for the first time. Both language editions were published by the 11th Berlin Biennale in the fall of 2019. The curatorial team of the Berlin Biennale has decided to make these publications freely accessible on the website. The book is available for download and print-out, and a special black-and-white version has been created for free coloring.

Tee A. Corinne (born Linda Tee Cutchin), (November 3, 1943 - August 27, 2006) was an American photographer, visual artist, writer, and activist, whose published work includes the infamous (or justly famous) Cunt Coloring Book. She was born in St. Petersburg, Florida, and educated at Newcomb College, Tulane University; St. Petersburg Junior College (A.A. 1964); University of South Florida (B.A. 1965); and Pratt Institute (M.F.A., 1968), she became an outspoken advocate and activist for lesbian sexual, literary, and artistic expression. She grew up in the Southern United States and the Bahama Islands, went north to graduate school, and west to sort out her life in 1972. Married once for seven years, she spent the last twenty-five years of her life in the company of women. She began exhibiting and publishing art and writing in the mid-1960s. She was a co-facilitator of the Feminist Photography Ovulars (1979-1981) and a co-founder of The Blatant Image, A Magazine of Feminist Photography (1981-1983). She was the author of one novel, three collections of short stories, four books of poetry and numerous artists books and small edition publications. Family, her show of mixed media drawings about growing up in an alcoholic family, has been the subject of a video interview by Jane Scott Productions. Portfolios of her art have been published in Lesbian Subjects, Feminist Studies, Gallerie: Women's Art, The Advocate, Philadelphia Gay News, The Lesbian Inciter, I Am My Lover (first edition, 1979) and Femalia. Corinne wrote about art for a variety of publications and, from 1987, was the art books columnist for Feminist Bookstore News. A co-founder and past co-chair of the Gay & Lesbian Caucus (an affiliated society of the College Art Association), she also co-founded the Women's Caucus for Art Lesbian & Bisexual Caucus. In 1991, she was chosen by Lambda Book Report as one of the fifty most influential lesbians and gay men of the decade, and in 1997 she received the Women's Caucus for Art President's Award for service to women in the arts. According to Completely Queer: The Gay and Lesbian Encyclopedia,"Corinne is one of the most visible and accessible artists in the world." She died in Oregon, aged 62.
