<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Adventures tend to arrive in packs, so of course when we got to our destination we realised that this was the last day of Venice Biennale. Of course we grabbed the tickets at once and ran happily towards pavilions.<br />
I’ve been talking about going there for quite a while, but never managed to actually go there until now.<br />
Oh, it was just so good!<br />
The space itself was great – old buildings with stripped walls, scattered around the old garden, really thrilling. Like, if aliens came to Earth a few thousands years from now, what would they find leftover from human civilisation? A bunch of shattered houses full of weird art objects.<br />
Particularly exciting was the mood of the expositions. Seems like our pretty little planet is overcoming its emo-mode, and finally getting back on track to being happy, even if slightly infantile. Half of the artists presented something childish, naïve or charmingly obscure. Old blankets, scraps of colourful wires and threads, toys and lunch boxes all went into action. I particularly liked the use of stickers and newspaper cut-outs in a sweet piece “Recycling Buddha”. Unfortunately I don’t have an image, but it was quite some object, believe you me <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

<div id="attachment_83" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 442px"><a href="http://planetdiscoball.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vb3.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-83" title="my personal favourite, mirror disco unicorn aka discohorn" src="http://planetdiscoball.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vb3.jpg" alt="my personal favourite, disco unicorn aka discohorn" width="432" height="324" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">my personal favourite, mirror disco unicorn aka discohorn</p></div>
<div id="attachment_86" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 442px"><a href="http://planetdiscoball.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vb2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-86" title="whataturkey!" src="http://planetdiscoball.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vb2.jpg" alt="" width="432" height="289" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">whataturkey!</p></div>
<p><a href="http://planetdiscoball.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vb6.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-82" title="vb6" src="http://planetdiscoball.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/vb6.jpg" alt="" width="432" height="289" /></a></p>
<p>I don’t know really whether the selection represents more curators’ taste or the general trend, but I was definitely happy to see it.<br />
High time to get back to happy! Happy is the new sad, turn off your heartbreaking tunes, especially you, young folks who grew up with cheesy love songs!<br />
Anyhow, the naïveté, obscure humour and soft irony of the art pieces made me wonder if maybe the world is finally getting ready for this type of thinking – slightly surreal and odd but still meaningful?.. Would be good news for me and my writing, which is exactly this, only maybe less of the childish and more towards the odd… Haha, what can I say, I do care for my writing a bunch, so you’ll hear here a bit about it <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The biennale also had quite a few flashbacks from the past decades, which have actually complemented its general vibe. And these oldies were the ones I actually liked most, they were somewhat of a new discovery as well.</p>
<div id="attachment_87" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 385px"><a href="http://planetdiscoball.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/fahlstrom1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-87" title="fahlstrom1" src="http://planetdiscoball.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/fahlstrom1.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="560" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">a work by Öyvind Fahlström</p></div>
<div id="attachment_88" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 347px"><a href="http://planetdiscoball.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/fahlstrom2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-88  " title="fahlstrom2" src="http://planetdiscoball.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/fahlstrom2.jpg" alt="" width="337" height="504" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">another work by Öyvind Fahlström</p></div>
<p>First one was Öyvind Fahlström, a Brazilian-born Swedish artist, who worked in the 15950s and 1960s. His comic collages were amazing – the idea, the execution, the colours. It just really stroke me. And the man must have made quite a bit of research of newspapers and factbooks, as all of his images are very inter-referential. My favourite bit was a feature of a “Swedish Diplomat Wife Book” with all kind of advise on how to organise a crossword-solving evening and to choose flowers for the room. Heartwarming!<br />
Here are some of his works</p>
<div id="attachment_90" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 514px"><a href="http://planetdiscoball.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/pepperstein1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-90" title="pepperstein1" src="http://planetdiscoball.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/pepperstein1.jpg" alt="" width="504" height="337" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">a work by Pavel Pepperstein</p></div>
<p>Another artist I really liked was Pavel Pepperstein. I read a feature on him in September issue of Tank magazine, and it was interesting to actually see his works.</p>
<p>He was featured twice: old works, and then a whole room of his new 2009 stuff. I can relate to his vision: the dude is all about futuristic landscapes, thinking clouds and mountains, eating supremas. His combination of cartoonish style and this really old-school classical illustrating is great, as well as his use of watercolours. Could well be found on the cover of my book <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Somehow though the guy managed to stay exactly where he was 30 years ago – don’t know whether to respect that or … else…<br />
Also, he is very Russian in a way, with his approach to art, and the topics that he raises. Its very dystopian, sometimes slightly disturbing, but also rather Tarkovski, ‘back to the future’, and retrofuturistic (as you can see from the picture above). All in all, worth a look. Or two.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>C&#8217;è sempre da rallegrarsi ogni qualvolta un evento culturale di alto livello ottenga un buon successo di pubblico, in una nazione come l&#8217;Italia in eterna lotta, soprattutto nell&#8217;epoca contemporanea, con una incombente e letale barbarie, intellettuale e non solo&#8230;</em></p>
<p><a href="http://rota.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/logo_biennale_venezia.gif"><img src="http://rota.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/logo_biennale_venezia.gif" alt="" title="logo_biennale_Venezia" width="219" height="193" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3543" /></a>Con un <strong>record</strong> di pubblico si è conclusa domenica 22 Novembre scorso la <strong>53a Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte &#8220;Fare Mondi//Making Worlds&#8221;</strong> diretta da <strong>Daniel Birnbaum</strong> e organizzata dalla Biennale di Venezia presieduta da Paolo Baratta. La Mostra è stata inaugurata il 6 giugno dal Presidente della Repubblica Giorgio Napolitano.</p>
<p><a href="http://rota.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/biennale-6.jpg"><img src="http://rota.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/biennale-6.jpg" alt="" title="biennale-6" width="500" height="333" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5193" /></a></p>
<p>Sono stati <strong>375.702</strong> i visitatori complessivi della Mostra (erano 319.332 nel 2007, con un <strong>incremento</strong> pari quindi al <strong>18%</strong>), articolata nelle sedi espositive dei Giardini e dell’Arsenale. Durante le 24 settimane di apertura, la 53. Esposizione è stata costantemente al vertice della classifica delle esposizioni italiane più visitate, con una media giornaliera di <strong>2.223</strong> visitatori e afflussi record nei weekend di <strong>9.761</strong> persone; <strong>132.185</strong> gli studenti che hanno visitato la Mostra, singolarmente o in gruppo.</p>
<p>La Biennale ha saputo attrarre <strong>77</strong> Partecipazioni Nazionali e <strong>44</strong> Eventi Collaterali che si sono svolti a Venezia. Particolare successo ha riscosso il Padiglione Italia che ha assunto una straordinaria rilevanza e il cui rinnovamento, anche in termini di raddoppio dello spazio espositivo, ha segnato una svolta nella partecipazione degli artisti italiani alla Biennale.</p>
<p><a href="http://rota.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/biennale-4.jpg"><img src="http://rota.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/biennale-4.jpg" alt="" title="biennale-4" width="500" height="332" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5194" /></a></p>
<p>L’attività educational si chiude con un totale di visitatori che hanno usufruito di questi servizi pari a <strong>26.943</strong> (con un incremento del <strong>25%</strong> rispetto al 2007) di cui <strong>3.551</strong> gli adolescenti (<strong>+48%</strong>). Gli studenti che hanno partecipato ai laboratori di approfondimento nelle sedi scolastiche sono stati <strong>1.817</strong> e <strong>1.213</strong> le presenze agli incontri divulgativi organizzati in sedi diverse.</p>
<p>I giornalisti che hanno visitato la mostra durante la vernice (dal 3 al 6 giugno) e i 169 giorni di apertura al pubblico sono stati <strong>5.868</strong>, di cui 3.986 stranieri e 1.882 italiani (5.691 il totale dei giornalisti nel 2007). Le testate televisive accreditate durante tutta la mostra sono <strong>104</strong> (di cui 66 straniere e 38 italiane). Ampia la rassegna stampa che totalizza ad oggi <strong>3.155</strong> articoli rispetto ai 2.366 della passata edizione (incremento del 33%). La 53. Esposizione ha inoltre ottenuto la copertura di tutti i principali TG nazionali.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://briciolecaotiche.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/biennale_lodi1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2191" title="biennale_lodi" src="http://briciolecaotiche.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/biennale_lodi1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="239" /></a><br />
L’articolo è di <a href="http://briciolecaotiche.wordpress.com/2009/11/24/sperimentiamo-strade-nuove/">Francesco Laghezza</a>.<br />
<em>La Seconda Biennale d’arte di Lodi è visitabile fino al 29 novembre presso l’ex chiesa di San Cristoforo in Via Fanfulla, ai seguenti orari: dal martedì al venerdì dalle 16.00 alle 19.00, sabato e festivi dalle 10.00 alle 12.00 e dalle 16.00 alle 19.00.</em></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;">Si è inaugurata alcune settimane fa la Seconda Biennale d&#8217;Arte di Lodi organizzata dall’Associazione Monsignor Quartieri, che già con la preziosa rassegna annuale “Carte d’arte” ha portato in città artisti di grande interesse, due fra i tanti: Federica Galli e Giancarlo Vitali.<br />
La mostra si propone di offrire uno spaccato dell’arte attuale, seppur limitata ad artisti operanti, nella maggior parte dei casi, in Lombardia. Non nascondo che avevo visto la prima edizione della rassegna nel 2007 e mi era sembrata confusa e fortemente autoreferenziale; questa seconda occasione mi fatto invece, un’ottima impressione.<br />
La mostra raccoglie le opere di 32 artisti tutti, tranne in pochi casi, presenti con opere interessanti e talvolta importanti.<br />
Cominciamo dal ricordo, che poi vuol essere un omaggio, a tre artisti lodigiani scomparsi nel corso del 2009, il primo è Giuliano Mauri, immenso ed ancora misconosciuto anche fra i lodigiani, ricordato non con una sua opera ma con la citazione, più formale che ideale, presente nel dipinto di <strong>Mattia Montemezzani</strong> giovane artista che pare aver ritrovato l’estro creativo che sembrava aver smarrito, almeno ricordando le opere esposte in san Domenico la primavera scorsa.<br />
Il secondo artista ricordato è <strong>Enzo Vertibile</strong> di cui vengono esposte due nature morte di gusto espressionista; infine l’ultimo ricordo è quello di<strong> Luigi Volpi</strong> presente con due tele realizzate con un realismo quasi fotografico ma mai stucchevole.<br />
Veniamo all’artista premiato da questa rassegna; si tratta di <strong>Giuseppe Rivadossi</strong> scultore e designer di qualità altissima, già apprezzato da Testori, presente in san Cristoforo con sculture e oggetti di design, opere importanti che ci fanno immergere nel suo universo (<a href="http://www.giusepperivadossi.net">qui il suo sito web</a>).<br />
Occorre ora proseguire per cenni e tutto ad un fiato, in maniera forse troppo elencatoria ma che in fondo è l’unica che ci permetta di dare conto di tutti gli artisti invitati. Nella nostra passeggiata in mostra troviamo le opere di <strong>Agostino Arrivabene</strong> che propone una pittura figurativa altamente simbolica e sempre figurativi sono i dipinti di <strong>Tindaro Calia</strong>. Interessante è l’epico quadro di <strong>Michele Cannaò</strong> che ricorda lo spirito di “Guernica” di Picasso ma ridisegnata da Enrico Baj; molto forte ci appare l’installazione della Cavallotti, dedicata ai bambini di Beslan, sacrificata nel suo allestimento nell’abside della chiesa; vi sono le sculture di <strong>Mauro Ceglie</strong>, lodigiano, negli ultimi tempi molto esposto ed apprezzato, che ricordano, forse troppo, le opere di Giuliano Vangi e di Francesco Messina, altre sculture di minor enfasi sono quelle di <strong>Chiarenza</strong>. Un’artista presente con un dipinto importante e di grandi dimensioni è <strong>Pierpaolo Curti</strong> con un paesaggio lacustre realizzato con le consuete cromie melanconiche mentre <strong>Franco de Bernardi</strong> presenta dipinti astratti realizzati su vetro con intrugli alchemici; di tutt’altra tempra sono le scelte di <strong>Vittorio Emanuele</strong> che propone opere figurative troppo fotografica tanto da apparire iperrealiste; <strong>Fernanda Fedi</strong> propone in mostra un’installazione composta da sette trittici lignei di cui però ci sfugge il significato. Espone dipinti informali <strong>Tiziana Felisi</strong>, che però appaiono ancora troppo dipendenti da modelli pittorici che l’artista sicuramente conosce, Burri e Fautrier su tutti, e che danno un senso del già visto. I paesaggi di <strong>Andrea Ferrari Bordogna</strong> risultano piacevoli ma appaiono legati da una parte a certa grafica illustrativa e dall’altra al pittore Salvo. Le sculture astratte di <strong>Yan Sil Lee</strong> ci portano in una dimensione culturale assai diversa dalla nostra, mentre <strong>Bernardo Luino</strong> propone scorci figurativi di grande interesse. <strong>Ugo Maffi</strong> prosegue la sua indagine sulla realtà e ci offre, in questa mostra, risultati di grande qualità; di diversa levatura appaiono le cose di <strong>Pier Manca</strong>, artista che ha intrapreso un percorso, dopo gli inizi vicini al realismo impegnato di matrice guttusiana, francamente difficile da comprendere e ne da l’ennesima prova con i dipinti a collage qui proposti. Notevoli sono le tele astratte di <strong>Bruno Missieri</strong> in cui l’autore sembra ripensare alla pittura gestuale di Hartung proponendo comunque risultati significativi; ci sorprende il monumentale dipinto di <strong>Angelo Palazzini</strong> surrealistico e piacevole, altre sculture propone <strong>Franco Pizzi</strong>. <strong>Luigi Poletti</strong> espone due paesaggi cristallizzati e rassicuranti mentre <strong>Marco Sudati</strong> ci rasserena con opere festose e giocose. <strong>Enrico Suzzani</strong> propone un dipinto costruito con l’assemblaggio di diverse piccole tele che non sono altro che suoi appunti figurati di un viaggio alle isole Eolie; i dipinti di <strong>Luigi Timoncini</strong> sono l’espressione di una figurazione complessa e attenta; riconoscibili appaiono i dipinti di <strong>Togo</strong> carichi di forti colori che ci portano in luoghi lontani.<br />
Arriviamo ora ad un dipinto, quello di <strong>Felice Vanelli</strong>, che rappresenta sicuramente il punto più basso di questa mostra, una gigantesca, almeno nel formato, “Resurrezione” realizzata con il solito manierismo a cui ormai, nostro malgrado, ci ha abituato da almeno due decenni; <strong>Abele Vadacca</strong> è presente con sculture dalle forme astratte e <strong>Alberto Venditti</strong> propone un dipinto figurativo con una frammentazione dell’immagine quasi a parer futurista. Conclude la mostra una scultura distrutta di <strong>Christian Zucconi</strong> espressione della quarta fase di un processo detto “Kenoclastico” che verrà svelato in maniera più completa in una mostra che si terrà nel 2010 al Castello Sforzesco di Milano.<br />
Il pregio di questa seconda “Biennale d’arte di Lodi” è stato quello, a mio parere, di cercare di mettere a confronto la produzione di artisti locali con quella di altri che, per scelte e fortuna, hanno una visibilità più ampia; credo che questa possibilità offerta sia rara in Lodi dove tutti sono affannati a promuovere quasi sempre realtà locali e che raramente propongono confronti.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/troutfactory/2051172443/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2386/2051172443_756ffead52.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>November 23rd was the last day of the <a href="http://www.kobe-biennale.jp/">2009 Kobe Biennale</a>, which I went to visit last week.  The Biennale is held <a href="http://www.feel-kobe.jp/english/sightseeing/harbor.html">at the waterfront site of Meriken Park</a>, under the shadow of Kobe&#8217;s famous Port Tower and right next to the Maritime Museum.  Because Kobe is historically a port city, the organizers of the Biennale decided that the best way to mount the exhibition would be to build a temporary village from shipping containers.  I&#8217;m a huge fan of <a href="http://home.comcast.net/~plutarch/">shipping container architecture</a>, so I was especially excited to visit the exhibit and see how the re-purposed cargo spaces were used the first time I visited the Biennale in 2007 with my friends <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joecollver/">Joe</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/angie_star/">Angie</a>.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://kobe-biennale.jp/_biennale2007/html/biennale_e.html">2007 Kobe Biennale</a> featured 45 award-winning works of art mounted in shipping containers in addition to displays featuring <em>ikebana</em>, works by disabled artists, a display of ceramic art, and art made by and for children.  The works of art varied widely in terms of idea, execution, and aesthetic effect but all of them were interesting and posed as their own enclosed worlds that  served to open up enjoyable spaces for thought and encounter.  The piece featured at the top of this entry — consisting of two mirrored panels that come to a point to create a space of unending reflection — is called &#8220;Infinite Planet&#8221; (無限の惑星) and is by a group from Ishikawa called Star in the TENTEN (天々星組).  The piece pictured above is by Song Junnam and Yoon Cyongsu and is called &#8220;Kobe People.&#8221;  Here&#8217;s what the artists have to say about this piece: &#8220;I am a foreigner who lives in Japan. It&#8217;s not rare in Kobe. Usually, I&#8217;m a minority, but in this work, I fill it up by the photographs of the foreigner&#8217;s faces, who are living in Japan. Through the encounter of foreigners living in Japan, who are also neighbors, I hope you can sense yourself, the foreigners, and Kobe.&#8221;</p>

<p>Several of the containers had<em> ikebana</em> on display.  The theme at work here was &#8220;future <em>ikebana</em>,&#8221; and many of the arrangements were truly incredible.</p>

<p>This piece, by Akihiro Kumagaya and Eisuke Tachikawa (熊谷彰博 and 太刀川英輔) was really fantastic.  It consisted of a mostly bare container painted white on the inside, which a few desks, chairs, and banks of red markers scattered around.  The entryway was constructed from pieces of red plastic so that when you looked through them into the container you (in theory) wouldn&#8217;t be able to see what was written on the walls.  All of the writing in the container was produced by guests at the Biennale, who were supposed to write down important thoughts, or perhaps childhood memories.  It was incredibly fun to add pieces of text to the jumble inside the container, and to spend time walking around and reading what other people had written.  This piece is listed as being untitled on the official 2007 Kobe Biennale site, but I remember it being called &#8220;What&#8217;s Your First Memory?&#8221;</p>

<p>This work, simply titled &#8220;Zebra,&#8221; (しまうま) is by <a href="http://www.iead.org/list/shibata/shibata.html">Shibata Michiri </a>(柴 田美千里).  There&#8217;s something deeply uncanny about walking through a container filled with stumpy zebra torsos.  I almost felt like I was walking through a zebra snuff film.  But at the same time there&#8217;s something funny about this piece, as if it were the punchline for a joke that you&#8217;ve forgotten the set up for.</p>

<p>This piece, by an artist called <a href="http://onoyotonn.com/">ONOYOTONN</a> (小野養豚ん), a name that means &#8220;pig-farm,&#8221; was one of my favorites at the Biennale.  Here&#8217;s what ONOYOTONN has to say about the piece, which is called &#8220;A Herd&#8221; (群):  &#8220;I grew up on a pig farm and have made many works with pig motifs. With the theme of &#8216;encounter&#8217;, I embodied pig-herding images playfully. I mass-produced mini-pigs so that the container is full of them and enjoyed in the space.&#8221;  The pigs were made from some kind of wax, and a few of them had fallen from the walls and the ceilings by the time that Angie, Joe, and myself made it to the Biennale.  Because of the scattered nature of the pigs there was almost a sense of massacre about the place, and standing inside an area so full of pink fleshiness made me feel a little bit like I was standing inside a piece of intestine.  Or perhaps a bit as if I were trapped inside a sausage.</p>

<p>This piece — a webwork of glowing white tubules in a container with mirrored walls — made me feel like I was inside some kind of strange futuristic alien spaceship, or perhaps standing in a scene that never made it into the <em>Matrix</em> series.   The piece is by Ryosuke Sai (宰井良輔) of <a href="http://void-p.com/">DOLPHIN KICK</a> (ドルフィンキック), which is one of the best names for an arts-oriented design group that I can think of.  In the photo above you can see Joe, in the process of snapping <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joecollver/1524095092/">this self-portrait</a>.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s Angie standing in front of a chalkboard that was completely covered with a single, extensive, set of of mathematical operations.  Across from the chalkboard were several wooden school desks equipped with paper and pencils so that you could sit down in front of the board and work up as much abstract calculation as your heart might desire.  So far, so normal.  But what you can&#8217;t do is sit at the desks without also sitting on an open ceramic toilet, the only seats in the place.  This is a piece that makes you think about the relationship between abstraction and bodily functions, and our inability to escape from our animal nature, no matter how hard we might try.  The piece, called &#8220;Animal Expression,&#8221; is by Yamashita Ryuuji          (山下竜司) and this is what he has to say about it: &#8220;We, human beings, using various materials, escape from the genus named “animals”, against reality. Even if it was impossible.&#8221;</p>

<p>This piece by <a href="http://web.mac.com/florianclaar/iweb/Work/Home.html">Florian Claar</a>, called &#8220;Symphonic Light Chamber,&#8221; is meant to sculpturally imitate the structure of 18th-century symphonic compositions.  I&#8217;m not sure that the piece ended up having that particular effect on me, but as a gloriously futuristic sculptural space I thought it was fantastic.  In fact, it felt very <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU4TQ1NTo50"><em>2001 </em></a>to me — up to and including the final transition in which you step through the circular entrance at the rear of the container and into a black void full of tiny pinpricks of light:  &#8220;The thing&#8217;s hollow—<em>it</em> goes on forever—and—oh  my God—<em>it&#8217;s full of stars</em>!&#8221;</p>

<p>This beautiful work is composed of more than 2,500 letters and characters from different languages from around the world.  The colorful writing is illuminated from behind, and walking into this room is a bit like walking into an abstracted conversation in which you&#8217;re hearing bits and pieces of the entire planetary population talking at once.  This piece, by Noriko Shiozawa (塩澤徳子), is called &#8220;Koto-no-ha&#8221; (こと‐の‐は), which is an older Japanese word for &#8220;language.&#8221;  Shiozawa-san was kind enough to give her permission to allow the photograph above to be used as the cover for the <a href="http://portal.unesco.org/geography/en/ev.php-URL_ID=11530&#38;URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&#38;URL_SECTION=201.html">UNESCO Jakarta Annual Report 2008</a>.</p>

<p>This piece, by <a href="http://www.werkstatt-radenhausen.de/kuenstler/Schohl/schohl.html">Hans Schohl</a>, was called &#8220;General Cargo Celestial Mechanics&#8221; and consisted of several beautiful kinetic sculptures that were illuminated so that long shadows would be cast on the walls of the container.  The sculptures — similar to models of planetary rotation — reminded me vaguely of <a href="http://images.google.co.jp/imgres?imgurl=http://www.lauraknauth.com/MovieCollectibles/Marv_Aughra.JPG&#38;imgrefurl=http://www.lauraknauth.com/MovieCollectibles/Marvel.html&#38;usg=__8ojBhBeaRRvYzNj8rkUBx7Bq09I=&#38;h=608&#38;w=702&#38;sz=180&#38;hl=en&#38;start=32&#38;um=1&#38;itbs=1&#38;tbnid=HJz4z9BaacRczM:&#38;tbnh=121&#38;tbnw=140&#38;prev=/images%3Fq%3DAughra%26ndsp%3D21%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN%26start%3D21%26um%3D1">Aughra&#8217;s observatory</a> in <em>The Dark Crystal</em>.</p>

<p>There were far more works at the 2007 Biennale than Joe, Angie, and I were able to see in a single day, and many of the really amazing pieces that we did manage to see weren&#8217;t the kind of works that show up well on film.  If I had had the opportunity, I would have visited the Biennale over the course of several days, slowly moving from work to work and taking plenty of time for coffee, relaxation, and clearing the head in between.  I might even have taken some time to watch the sun set from the top of  Kobe&#8217;s Port Tower, instead of watching the sun set inside of a container, as beautiful as that in fact turned out to be.  The piece above, called &#8220;koyomi,&#8221; is by <a href="http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~shichino/">Daiichi Shichino</a> (七野大一) and it simulates sunset and moonrise by projecting slowly moving images of light at the end of a container in which a long reflecting pool has been constructed.  Inside the container, the images of sun and moon are reflected across the pool which quietly ripples and undulates from localized vibrations within the container.  All very dark, quiet, slow, and beautiful.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div>
<p>Chiude una <strong>Biennale</strong> che ha stabilito un record assoluto di visitatori: prima del weekend finale erano oltre 360mila. Una media giornaliera di 2199, una punta record nel weekend del 17 ottobre con i 10mila sfiorati. Chiude nel giorno della Madonna della Salute, e per questo ai veneziani è riservato un biglietto di 2 euro. La chiusura della Biennale s’incrocia con un altro fatto significativo: <strong>l’incontro tra il Papa con gli artisti</strong> nella cappela Sistina. Dieci anni fa c’era stata la lettera di Giovanni Paolo II agli artisti, 25 anni fa l’incontro con Paolo VI. Oggi le cose sono ovviamente cambiate, e quel residuo plotoncino di artisti in qualche modo considerati “cattolici” si è assottigliato, nei numeri e ancor più nel protagonismo delle proposte. Per cui la cosa interessante dell’incontro è una presenza vasta e rappresentativa di artisti (in particolare per le arti figurative), che dimostra come ci sia interesse a riprendere un rapporto. In secondo luogo l’altra notizia è che il Vaticano si affaccerà sulla scena della prossima <strong>Biennale 2011 con un suo Padiglione</strong>, come accade a tutt gli stati. Lo ha annunciato <strong>Gianfranco Ravasi</strong>, “ministro” della cultura del Papa: «Convocheremo non più di dieci artisti, da tutti i continenti del mondo, e consegneremo loro, come libera base tematica, i primi undici capitoli della Genesi da leggere. Contengono i temi fondamentali dell’essere e dell’esistere: la creazione, la coppia, l’amore, il male, la violenza, l’oppressione dei popoli, il diluvio universale. E non escludo anche di convocare artisti non credenti, perché il nostro scopo non é quello di produrre arte liturgica». Staremo a vedere, con grande curiosità.</p>
<p><strong>Un pensierino finale:</strong> la chiesa è stata la più grande committente di prodotti artistici mai apparsa sulla scena della storia. Con la sua committenza e la sua convinzione nella potenza positiva delle immagini, ha fatto esistere dei capolavori assoluti. Ha accettato, a volte con un po’ di scuotimenti interni, anche processi di rinnovamento radicale (Giotto, Donatello, Caravaggio…). Questo per dire che il nesso tra chiesa e arte è un nesso potentemente propagandistico, nel senso positivi del termine (la Chiesa o è visibile o non è). L’arte è mezzo per portare tra gli uomini l’esperienza reale dell’Incarnazione e, di conseguenza, il senso visibile della bellezza e della vittoria. Speriamo che ci vengano risparmiate quindi le vie introspettive, le premure per il dialogo, i cencelli dello spirito… Bisogna osare, altrimenti è meglio un bel padiglione Vaticano vuoto…</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The Venice Biennale is a big scale look at the current mover and shakers in the art scene. The whole idea in a nut shell is a representative from each country from around the world gets the chance to show whats hip and current in their region TODAY its contemporary at its best ! Its held every two years in Venice. It is divided into 2 regions in Giardini &#38; Arsenale.</p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t surprised to see vast amount of Video work at the Biennale some of the video work was amazing including the Polish &#8216;GUESTS&#8217; &#8211; <em>The project opens the Pavilion&#8217;s space to both virtual &#38; real scenes showing the immigrants from countries.These scenes filmed through windows,are projected onto the Pavillion Windowless walls.</em> Enter the concept, I suppose you call it, behind the video. The piece was dealt with emigrants and peoples reaction to the foreign people and the reception that they received. It was a powerful atmospheric, moody video installation and to me virtually ground breaking. These humongous cinematic screens in the shape of a church and the entire ceiling of muted blue screens with videos of mysterious shadows and outlines of people doing day-to-day chores. To street scenes, labours all behind these screens accompanied with sounds of people from everyday environments.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter" title="biennale" src="http://www.kobe-biennale.jp/kikaku/ikebana/img/main.jpg" alt="" width="378" height="101" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m usually not a huge fan of installation art&#8211;I find it too often grays the area between art and furniture. Not that the two mediums are mutually exclusive. Instead, I would say that it&#8217;s extremely difficult to be just a good artist or just a good interior designer. The ambitious blending of these two fields  tends to result in things like pieces of garbage hanging from the ceiling with fishing line or chairs made of broken glass.</p>
<p>That in mind, this weekend I went to Kobe Biennale art exhibition. The exhibition takes place at many sites through the city, however the focal point was in Meriken Park, at the Port of Kobe. There, organizers had a erected a small, improvised outdoor museum.</p>
<div id="attachment_498" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><a href="http://teachinginsocks.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/origami.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-498" title="origami" src="http://teachinginsocks.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/origami.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="315" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Origami was promised- &#34;Origami Shrine&#34; by Goco Tomohisa</p></div>
<p>The highlight of the Biennale was the &#8220;Art in Containers&#8221; International Exhibition. Thirty contemporary artists&#8211;all who have some connection to Kobe&#8211;were chosen, and each were tasked with creating an installation piece inside a 40 ft.  deep  shipping container.</p>
<p>As I said before, I am not a huge fan of installation art; however, I do think the utilization of shipping containers buoyed the effectiveness of some of these pieces. Having a defined space provided a clear segmentation between each piece while elegantly condensing and focusing some of the art in a manner that enhanced the experience.</p>
<div id="attachment_499" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 430px"><a href="http://teachinginsocks.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/yuji.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-499" title="yuji" src="http://teachinginsocks.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/yuji.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="436" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cardboard sculpture Buddha- &#34;BUTSU&#34; by Honbori Yuji</p></div>
<p>That&#8217;s not to say that I loved every piece. Some of them were the typical over-thought and under executed installations that modern art is often criticized for. There was the boring 3-D animation from the early 90&#8217;s on a wall container, and another that was simply a dark space with weird sounds. I actually didn&#8217;t stay in the any of the darkened containers  for any extended period of time. I&#8217;ve seen to many crime shows to feel safe when alone in a pitch-black shipping container; at any moment the door could slam shut and not reopen until days later some detective finds your frozen, dead body in Arkhangelsk and he then has to get in his Lieutenants face just to start making inquiries with the local organized crime syndicates.</p>
<p>On the whole, many of the installations were interesting. My particular favorite involved a container where the walls and ceiling were covered in tiny wall clocks. The sound of hundreds of clocks ticking simultaneous was one of those unique art experiences (clock shops excluded). Also, a in the container at the same time as me lady had the audacity to touch one of the clocks. Of course, the clock she touched and another fell off the wall and shattered on the floor.  I somehow was able to catch the entire spectacle from her initial arm extension to her sever and instantaneous reaction of regret (it&#8217;s a universal expression). I don&#8217;t really like performance art either but this was like my own private candid camera show, except for the part where she actually looked at me and I had to quickly reply &#8220;daijobu&#8221; (everything is okay).</p>
<div id="attachment_500" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 404px"><a href="http://teachinginsocks.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/091116_145722.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-500" title="091116_145722" src="http://teachinginsocks.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/091116_145722.jpg?w=754" alt="" width="394" height="531" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Walk into the light</p></div>
<p>Also, this is Japan, so there was some cool large scale origami. There were other containers that had a more circus atmosphere&#8211;funny mirrors and one with just a bunch of fans and mounds of confetti that you could play in. While one might dispute the artistic endeavor of these installations, the fun quotient of them can really be debated.</p>

<p> Dan Perjovschi est un artiste contemporain en provenance de Roumanie, né en 1961 à Sibiu. Il est actuellement l’un des artistes contemporains les plus connus de Roumanie. Il s’agit d’un caricaturiste, illustrateur, écrivain, journaliste et auteur de performances. Ses oeuvres d’art sont une combinaison de dessins, caricatures, graffitis et sont représentés directement sur les murs des musées et autres espaces d’art contemporains.</p>
<p>      Perjovschi traite des questions sociales, politiques et culturelles actuelles dans ses dessins et il a eu un rôle important dans la culture roumaine. En meme temps, il est aussi l’illustrateur et auteur de nombreux articles pour le magazine culturel ”22” à Bucarest. Il a transformé l’environnement de conception, a l’a utilisé pour créer un objet, une performance et une installation. Dans la dernière décennie, Perjovschi a fait ses dessins spontanément dans les espaces du musées, permettant aux affaires mondiales et locales d’informer le public du résultat final.</p>
<p>     Dan Perjovschi a été connu après avoir ”décoré” les murs des musées européens comme à la Tate de Londres. Plusieurs de ses oeuvres sont une manifestation artistique anti-mondialisation. Par exemple, en 1999, Perjovschi a représenté la Roumanie à la Biennale d’Art à Venise, où il a couvert le sol du pavillon avec des dessins et des graffitis sur les questions politiques, dans l’ère post-communiste des pays d’Europe orientale et le rôle de l’art dans les échanges culturels avec l’Occident. Esquissé avec des marqueurs noirs, les dessins de Perjovschi disparaissent sous les pieds des visiteurs, ce qui est une claire allusion à l’érosion de l’identité est-européenne. Il a participé à la Biennale d’Art de Venise en 2007 et à la Xe Biennale d’Art de Lyon ”Le spectacle du quotidien”. La critique Emmanuelle Lequeux nous dit que Perjovschi reste attaché à son pays: ”A Bucarest, où il vit et travaille, il note les tressaillements de la planète et la mondialisation en cours.” ”La tristesse esthétique”, ”l’ironie mortelle, le discours binaire” avec une logique antagoniste ( noir/blanc, pauvres/riches, pays occidentaux/pays en développement ). Le contraste entre les conceptions des apparences ”enfantines” délibérément ”naïves” et une ”profondeur incontestable” seraient les caractéristiques dominantes du style de Dan Perjovschi.</p>
<p> Il se concentre sur les enjeux et les événements liés à la mondialisation, la société de consommation, les institutions (art), la guerre, le réchauffement climatique, les arts médiatiques, tout en ayant une attitude fondée sur l’humour, encourageant le spectateur à méditer un instant sur un aspect de la réalité. Toutefois il les reproduit en utilisant la craie. Il a présenté des expositions à New York, au Portugal, en France, en Italie, au Royaume-Uni, en Espagne, en Allemagne, en Hongrie, en Suède, en Suisse, mais actuellement, il vit et travaille à Bucarest.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Bom, eu tinha que ver a Bienal de Veneza antes que ela acabasse no dia 22 de novembro. Então vim para Veneza.</p>
<p>O bilhete de trem que comprei saía da estação Firenze Rifredi &#8211; as saídas dessa estação são mais baratas do que de Santa Maria Novella-, então tive que pegar um trem de S.M. Novella até Rifredi e esperar lá pelo meu trem-mesmo.</p>
<p>Tudo certinho, ele chegou por volta das 17h30/17h40. Cheguei em Venezia Mestre às 20h30. Achei meu albergue, que não era muito longe da estação, o Hotel Giovannina. Era decentezinho, com exceção da privada quebrada e da internet wi-fi que era paga e cara. Em resumo, um lugar para dormir.</p>
<p>Comi os lanchinhos que tinha feito em casa, entrei na internet um pouco e fui dormir. O quarto já estava ocupado por 2 americanas que não quiseram papo. Tinha a beliche vazia, então peguei o lugar de cima; o de baixo era muito grudado no de cima. No meio da noite, chegou uma mulher que ficou na cama de baixo. A noite foi meio agitada com isso tudo.</p>
<p>Acordei, me arrumei e já fui para a rua. Peguei um chocolate quente na maquininha e lá fui eu pegar o ônibus para o Piazzale Roma, o ponto principal do centro da cidade, na ilha.</p>
<p>Chegando aqui, uns 15-20 minutos depois, fui procurar o outro albergue para deixar minha mochila. Feito isso, fui dar uma volta e depois me encontrei com as meninas &#8211; Junia, Holly e Rosangela &#8211; para irmos a pé até a Piazza San Marco.</p>
<p>O trajeto normalmente (diz-se que) leva 35 minutos, mas fomos fazendo paradinhas aqui e ali para fotos, comidas e doces. Chegamos à Piazza San Marco e eu e a Ro entramos na Basílica, enquanto as outras duas foram ver o resto lá fora.</p>
<p>Não podia fotografar na Basílica, e eu até consegui me segurar até ver dezenas de pessoas fotografando, com flash e barulhinhos de clic. Acabei sacando a minha máquina e tirando algumas fotos também (sem flash e sem barulhinho). É muito bonita! Acho que mais por dentro do que por fora. Eu perdi a bronca que eu tinha de igrejas, aprendendo a observar os ornamentos e arquiteturas com outros olhos.</p>
<p>Saímos, fomos procurar um restaurante bem longe daquele clima turí$tico e depois de nos perder, achamos por acaso uma osteria muito fofa com donos mais fofos ainda. Comi um penne alla putanesca com vinho artesanal da região do Veneto.</p>
<p>Da osteria fomos até Rialto, e depois voltamos para a estação, mas todo esse trajeto cheio de fotos e paradas&#8230; Tudo encanta em Veneza.</p>
<p>As meninas foram embora (elas estão hospedadas em Verona) e eu fui para o meu albergue sem pressa.</p>
<p>Chegando aqui, depois de uma certa confusão com a senhorinha da recepção (ela não achava meu nome na reserva&#8230; sorte que a mulher da manhã tinha deixado um papel com meu nome e o número escrito colados na minha mochila), consegui a chave do quarto. Naquele esquema: o seu quarto não fica aqui, fica ali do outro lado da rua&#8230; Argh! não gosto disso, mas vamos lá&#8230;</p>
<p>O quarto é pequeno, com 4 camas. Tinha uma japonesa já deitada lendo na cama (eram 19h). Ela disse que tinha que acordar às 5 da manhã para pegar o trem. Fui tomar banho e qual não foi a minha surpresa quando vi que o chuveiro ficava num cubículo onde só se tomava banho (não era um banheiro de verdade) e, pra piorar, a porta não trancava!</p>
<p>Aí me deu um tilt e eu pensei &#8220;vou ver como é o banheiro do outro andar&#8221;. Assim que eu saí vi que do meu lado tinha um&#8230; banheiro! de verdade! com privada, pia e chuveiro com box! &#8220;É aqui mesmo&#8221;. E consegui tomar um bom banho.</p>
<p>Depois disso, conversei um pouco com as meninas (agora tinha uma chinesa também) e vim descarregar as fotos e falar no skype. Falei um pouco com meu gatinho e daqui a pouco vou dormir. Amanhã quero aproveitar bem o dia, porque meu trem parte às 18h para Firenze.</p>
<p>Amanhã é dia de Bienal. A Bienal de Veneza! Ié!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Getting ready to join my paintings in Florence for the Biennale &#8211; but first I will open my studio on Eel Pie Island to the public on Sunday 29th November from 1pm to 5pm along with other island studios. Free parking available on the Twickenham Embankment, 5 mins from Twickenham Station</p>
<p>There will be &#8216;work in progress&#8217; plus a large selection of new oil paintings which will be available to purchase along with prints and cards.</p>
<div id="attachment_163" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-163" href="http://leelcampbell.wordpress.com/2009/11/13/open-studio-exhibition-29th-november/dusk-2/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-163" title="Dusk 2" src="http://leelcampbell.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dusk-2.jpg?w=300" alt="Dusk 2" width="300" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Twickenham at Dusk</p></div>
<p>I&#8217;ve recently returned to working on small (6.5 x 4.5 inch) wooden panels which are displayed in a block of wood cut with a groove. This gives the work a 3D presence, more an accessible &#8216;object&#8217; than a painting.</p>

<p>Mancano dieci giorni alla chiusura della 53. Esposizione Internazionale d&#8217;Arte di Venezia <a href="http://benedettamerola.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/partner-o-sponsor-viaggio-tra-le-aziende-che-sostengono-la-53-esposizione-internazionale-d%e2%80%99arte-di-venezia/" target="_blank"><em>Fare Mondi/Making World</em> </a>e si parla di record di visite. Il comunicato stampa del 9 novembre dichiara 337.124 visitatori con una media giornaliera di oltre 2.175 visitatori. Si tratta di un record assoluto, +13% rispetto alla precedente edizione. Un incremento ancora più significativo l&#8217;ha registrato la 66. Mostra Internazionale d&#8217;Arte Cinematografica con un +32% (55.232 spettatori).<!--more--></p>
<p>Un record erano stati anche i 129.323 visitatori della scorsa edizione della <strong><a href="http://www.labiennale.org" target="_blank">Mostra Internazionale d&#8217;Archiettura</a></strong>. E proprio in questi giorni il Consiglio di Amministrazione della Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia ha nomitato il <strong>Direttore dell&#8217;edizione 2009</strong>. <strong>Kazuyo Sejima</strong> sarà il primo direttore donna a dirigere il Settore Archiettura della Biennale.</p>
<p>Alcune sue dichiarazioni:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#34;letter-spacing:0;">&#60;&#60;La Biennale deve essere tutto e ogni cosa, fondamentalmente inclusiva, in dialogo costante sia con chi la fa, sia con chi la guarda. </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#34;letter-spacing:0;">Gli edifici, l&#8217;atmosfera che essi creano e il modo in cui vengono concepiti, possono costituire il punto centrale di partenza della prossima Mostra Internazionale di Architettura. </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#34;">In generale, il processo della progettazione può divenire punto focale del dibattito architettonico contemporaneo e futuro. Vale a dire, possiamo selezionare e presentare opere in maniera tale che esse vengano comprese così come sono, piuttosto che come rappresentazioni. Tutto ciò può essere espresso attraverso un&#8217;architettura radicata nel suo utilizzo collettivo&#62;&#62;.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#34;">prosegue</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#34;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#34;">&#60;&#60; </span>Allo stesso modo, c&#8217;è un altro filo conduttore di interesse: l’uomo dentro l’architettura, le relazioni tra persone in contesti pubblici e privati, sia in qualità di creatori, sia come utenti. Questo è un problema di esistenza individuale in interazione con la comunità. Più semplicemente &#8216;le persone si incontrano dentro l’architettura&#8217;. Nella sua totalità la Mostra Internazionale di Architettura può costituire un forum nuovo e attivo per le idee contemporanee, e insieme un’occasione di lettura attenta degli edifici stessi&#62;&#62;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2608/4096920326_1ba9e9e5de.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="venice 1" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2608/4096920326_1ba9e9e5de.jpg" alt="" /></a>I just had a lovely jaunt to Venice to perform at Ca&#8217;Zanadi for the Biennale art festival. Venice is a town of smartly dressed dogs and meter-wide &#8220;streets&#8221; that can only be successfully navigated by people who are relaxed but alert after an hour long spritz break followed by an hour-long espresso break.</p>
<p>I was part of a group of artists performing &#8220;site-specific&#8221; pieces inspired by the Ca&#8217;Zanadi house, a gaudy and lovely old Rococo building that now serves as a boutique hotel/art space.</p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2548/4096996844_c454ee21bc.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="ca'zanadi" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2548/4096996844_c454ee21bc.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2801/4096930124_c19d6b6087.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="gum peepee stencil dudes" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2801/4096930124_c19d6b6087.jpg" alt="" width="152" height="200" /></a>There wasn&#8217;t a whole lot of street art in Venice that I saw&#8211;mostly just random tagging, but the tags were all layered upon each other in a cool looking way on specific doors and other enclosed areas. And I found this gem of a stencil near the Ca&#8217;Zanadi. Look closely&#8211;yes, those are chewing gum penises.</p>
<p>.</p>

California? Portugal? Ireland?</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/4096245103_24b06aec0d.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="bloody Mario" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2554/4096245103_24b06aec0d.jpg" alt="" width="153" height="204" /></a>My contribution to Venice street art: Bloody Mario, made from leftover &#8220;blood&#8221; from my performance.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>I had the tiniest little hotel closet of a room, which would have been a bit of a bummer if the awesome person who stayed there before me had not left a pair of heart-shaped light up glasses under the bed for me to find.</p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2707/4096167459_699dcb5d0d_m.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="hotel room" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2707/4096167459_699dcb5d0d_m.jpg" alt="" width="236" height="178" /></a><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-174" title="DSCF4457" src="http://theve.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dscf4457.jpg?w=300" alt="DSCF4457" width="236" height="177" /></p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>So, really great trip. I took a lot of pictures to satisfy my door fetish, but I&#8217;ll link to those later. More photos on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vemagni">flickr</a>.</p>

<p><strong>BiNOMI &#8211; Biennale Nord Ovest Milano</strong><br />
<strong>Base 1 &#8211; Creative Intenzioni</strong><br />
in collaborazione con<br />
<strong>Fabbrica Borroni</strong></p>
<p>presenta</p>
<p><strong>CirConferenze</strong><br />
a cura di<br />
Marta Garavaglia, Cristina Raisi, Chiara Salanti,  Sarah Silke Tasca</p>
<p>Dopo le ricerche effettuate nel territorio, la sezione curatoriale della <strong>Base 1 &#8211; Creative Intenzioni</strong>, una delle cinque Basi Creative appartenenti al progetto <strong>BiNOMi</strong>, propone alcuni incontri che si terranno a Bollate presso la <strong>Fabbrica Borroni</strong>.<br />
Uno degli scopi principali sarà quello di coinvolgere chi vive il territorio al Nord Ovest di Milano (Bollate e dintorni), in un dibattito culturale, storico e artistico con la collaborazione di personalità del panorama culturale del territorio, che interverranno per trattare in modo più specifico le tematiche proposte nell&#8217;ambito di ciascuna conferenza.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Les retrouvailles par hasard avec le travail d’AGNÈS VARDA m’ont fait revoir mon rêve et ma passion pour l’avenir.<br />
 <br />
A Paris en 2006, il y a eu une exposition de la réalisatrice AGNÈS VARDA sur le thème de L&#8217;ILE ET ELLE à la FONDATION CARTIER. Je me suis souvenue que cet été-là il faisait très chaud et de m’être sentie isolée. J’ai commencé la première année à l’école d’art dans l’espoir de déployer mon rêve à l’étranger. Je me suis mise à naviguer sur une mer nommée ART sans avoir peur. C’était un moment chaud, avec la force de l’idée profonde et la création, je me suis sentie traverser les hautes vagues. Mon premier pas n’étais pas facile. En naviguant sans en connaître la fin, j’étais remplie de peur et de la perte de confiance en moi. AGNÈS VARDA, son exposition m’a donné une nouvelle énergie et de l’esprit.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-797" title="KIMHeeyeon" src="http://esadseinternational.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kimheeyeon.jpg?w=258" alt="KIMHeeyeon" width="258" height="300" /><br />
Il y avait des objets, des séries du photos et des vidéos… L’installation des objets quotidiens avec une couleur crue, une vidéo de la tombe d’un chien décorée avec des coquillages et des fleurs et une musique amusante en fond sonore. J’ai été intéressé par son humour sur la vie quotidienne. J’avais une nouvelle passion pour mon travail grâce à sa vision profonde mais son expression légère et son sentiment du comique.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-798" title="KIMHeeyeon2" src="http://esadseinternational.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kimheeyeon2.jpg?w=300" alt="KIMHeeyeon2" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-799" title="KIMHeeyeon3" src="http://esadseinternational.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/kimheeyeon3.jpg?w=300" alt="KIMHeeyeon3" width="300" height="200" /><br />
J’ai trouvé par hasard ses oeuvres de L&#8217;ILE ET ELLE à la Sucrière. Quelle chance!! Pour les étudiant en art, il n’y a peut-être pas de plus grande joie que de voir une oeuvre de leur artiste préféré.<br />
 <br />
Malheureusement, à la Biennale de Lyon, il n’y avait que deux de ses oeuvres présentées. J’étais un peu déçue de trouver seulement deux installations. Et j’ai trouvé que l’ambiance dans l’espace était en désordre à cause du mélange avec des installations d’autres artistes. Quelle que soit la présentation de son travail, cette année, pas si calme qu’avant, revoir son oeuvre était comme une bouffée d’air pur pour moi qui voyage sur une mer d’ART depuis 5 ans.</p>

A képtárat ennek, ill. az azt kísérő előadásoknak, konferenciáknak és a gyűjteményünknek köszönhetően ma már számos kiadványban a kortárs magyar keresztény művészet központjának tekintik, minősítik. 2002-ben, az első alkalommal a Keresztre feszítést és a legfontosabb szimbólumot, a keresztet választottuk, 2005 tavaszán a Genezis őstörténeti részét, a Teremtés könyvének első 11 fejezetét, 2006-ban az oltár volt a téma, míg legutóbb Krisztus példázatait „adtuk fel”. <em><a href="http://www.kecskemet.hu/?r=701&#38;c=11871" target="_blank">Tovább&#8230;</a></em></div>

<p>Tornata da due giorni fantastici a Venezia mi sento vivamente di consigliare a tutti voi una visita (ci vogliono almeno due giorni) alla Biennale d&#8217;arte di Venezia (chiude il 22 novembre). Merita davvero, non ve ne pentirete. E&#8217; uno scrigno che trabocca di ispirazione e coinvolgimento psicofisico, andateci andateci andateci.</p>
