<p>A l&#8217;heure où <a href="http://www.etpourquoipascoline.fr/">Coline </a>se pare de bien sombres atours, mes personnages aussi se noient dans un tube de noir d&#8217;ivoire (sic).</p>
<p>Lorsque je commence à peindre avec du noir, je me demande ce que je vais pouvoir faire  des autres tubes.</p>
<p>Le noir est addictif. Il est vif et tranchant. Il est soyeux et lumineux.</p>
<p>Au centre Pompidou, jusqu&#8217;au 8 mars 2010, vous pouvez vous perdre au cœur d&#8217;une forêt noire ou chaque arbre est transpercé de ses propres reflets.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hello Young Bloggers,</p>
<p>I recently returned from my adventure in Paris (before that, Berlin), and I have some much-needed blogging to do. I couldn&#8217;t post pictures while I was traveling because card reader died over break (stupid Wal-Mart!). Anyway, I have much to tell, and much to show&#8211;I didn&#8217;t take as many pictures as I would have liked&#8211;mainly, I was just observing everything around me, and taking pictures of everything that excited me. The museums that I visited were all superb, and I would love to eventually post some paintings that stood out to me. Some highlights from the trip were the Pompidou (there were so many amazing women artists), The Musee d&#8217;Orsay, and the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin. Oh, I really liked them all. Anyway, here are some of the photos I took.</p>

<p>As you can see, I did some sight-seeing, and some museum-hopping, but I really feel like I got to know Paris on more of a personal level. I didn&#8217;t get to see enough of Berlin, and I apologize for not having any good pictures to show of my adventures there. Paris, however, was magical, and I wish I had documented it better. Besides amazing art, the city had so much to offer&#8211;especially FOOD. Oh la la, I had some of the best food there: the best steak-frites in Paris, and I had the best bacon cheeseburger of my life (made complete with a very tasty dark beer) at an American bar. I will post more later, and I will soon post my favorite artists, and all my favorite artworks.</p>
<p>A toute a l&#8217;heure!</p>
<p>Zoe</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://thehappinessprojectlondon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_0041.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-258" title="DSC_0041" src="http://thehappinessprojectlondon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_0041.jpg?w=200" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Well I don&#8217;t think I know Paris very well at all really, but thought I&#8217;d give a few suggestions:</p>
<p>- Pere Lachaise: go see the cemetery near Belleville/Menilmontant to see the incredible tombstones of Jim Morrisson, Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Chopin.  A great area too with great restaurants and bars nearby.</p>
<p>- Hotel Mamashelter: Philippe Starck designed hotel in the same Menilmontant/Belleville area, with funky bar downstairs serving great cocktails and cool little rooms.  Cheap and in a good area.</p>
<p><a href="http://thehappinessprojectlondon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_0146.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-259" title="DSC_0146" src="http://thehappinessprojectlondon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_0146.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>- Restaurant Heureux comme Alexandre:  For cheap (15 euros) fondu and a relaxed atmosphere: <a href="http://www.heureuxcommealexandre.com/pages-UK/2-restaurantsUK.html">http://www.heureuxcommealexandre.com/pages-UK/2-restaurantsUK.html</a></p>
<p>- For a posh dinner try Georges at the top of the Pompidou or Les Ombres: <a title="http://www.lesombres-restaurant.com/restaurant.html" href="http://www.lesombres-restaurant.com/restaurant.html">http://www.lesombres-restaurant.com/restaurant.html</a>.  Just make sure you can swallow the £100+ per head tab.</p>
<p><a href="http://thehappinessprojectlondon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_0094.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-260" title="DSC_0094" src="http://thehappinessprojectlondon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_0094.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Remember its also the 120th anniversary of the Eiffel tower this year so on the hour you get very cool lightshows!</p>
<p><a href="http://thehappinessprojectlondon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_00353.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-261" title="DSC_0035" src="http://thehappinessprojectlondon.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_00353.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3311" title="paris1" src="http://destinosinolvidables.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/paris12.jpg?w=300" alt="paris1" width="300" height="191" />Este día nos despertamos temprano y desayunamos algo muy ligero en nuestro Hotel Napoleón de Royal Holiday, que la verdad fue uno de los mejores en todo este recorrido. Después de comer nuestro croissant y disfrutar nuestro rico y calientito café preparamos cámaras y nos salimos rumbo al metro para llegar al Museo Geroges Pompidou. El Centro de Arte y de Cultura Pompidou se creo con la intención de mostrar todas las formas de creación contemporáneas y facilitar su difusión al público. La entrada a este lugar como casi a todos los museos que visitamos en nuestro recorrido europeo fue de 10 euros. Este lugar ofrece muchos atractivos al público ya que cuenta con conferencias, cines, espectáculos y talleres. En las salas de este museo uno puede apreciar obras de Daniel Cordier (arte bruto), Louise y Michel Leiris (cubismo), y algunas de Chagall, Vieira da Silva y Mitchell. Según la guía del museo, este lugar en la actualidad cuenta con las mejores colecciones a nivel mundial de arte del siglo XX, al rededor de 53,000 obras, abarcando todos los medios de expresión como la pintura, la arquitectura, pasando por la fotografía, el cine, los nuevos medios de comunicación, la escultura o el diseño. El recorrido por este museo me encantó y espero volver a recorrer sus salas y perderme nuevamente en sus salas llenas de grandes expreciones visuales.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Let’s have a good look at what we are talking about…by sharing some of the best vantage points to survey these cities. The obvious; in Paris – the <em>Eiffel Tower</em>, in New York – the <em>Empire State Building</em>, of course they give you that panoramic bird’s eye view of your surroundings, though at heights that obscure the finer details. As magnificent as they are, I find many other sites in both cities provide perspectives that are just as breath taking.</p>
<p>The historical restrictions on the height of buildings in central Paris lends itself to having a small number of extraordinary locations, while in New York the availability of so many office towers provides endless opportunities for less common but still striking views assuming you know someone with access to them.</p>
<p>In Paris, you must often climb many steps to be rewarded with such vistas. You can hike up inside the towers of <em>Notre Dame</em> and while communing with the spirit of Quasimodo, gaze down the Seine.  A winding tour of the <em>Pantheon</em>, the final resting place of France’s great men and women, leads you up to a balcony that surrounds its dome. At the top of the <em>Champs-Élysées</em>, in the center of the world’s greatest traffic circle, the <em>Arc de Triomphe</em> will share its majestic view with you. Trek up the famous steps leading to <em>Sacre Coeur</em> where you will be able to take in a grand view overlooking all of Paris. From the <em>Palais de Chaillots</em> looking back across the Seine provides one of the most spectacular views of the Eiffel Tower.</p>
<p>The <em>Galleries Lafayette</em> can lend itself to skyline gazing on its rooftop terrace and the outdoor terraces in the <em>Pompidou</em> and <em>D’Orsay</em> museums offer more modest but still lovely views. The roof top sculpture garden at The <em>Metropolitan Museum of Art</em> in NY provides a delightful view of its <em>Central Park</em> surroundings.</p>
<p>A boat ride along the Seine offers a comfortable way of obtaining a sea level perspective of the heart of Paris from the Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame.  In New York the <em>Statue of Liberty</em> provides great views of NY harbor and the downtown financial district, which can also be experienced by taking the free <em>Staten Island Ferry</em>. From <em>Rockefeller Park</em> by the Battery the harbor continues to beckon and is especially captivating at sunset. There are boat tours which circumnavigate the island of Manhattan giving a complete water borne perspective of the island.</p>
<p>In NY driving offers opportunities not readily available by other means. The numerous major bridges surrounding Manhattan each provide dramatic views, especially recommended are the Brooklyn and 59<sup>th</sup> street bridges heading into the city. The Brooklyn Queens expressway passing over the Kosciusko Bridge looks out at the entire length of Manhattan.</p>
<p>In both the <em>City of Lights</em> and the <em>City that Never Sleeps</em> try to visit as many of these places after dusk as possible. But the real thrill in exploring these cities will be when you come across an unexpected scene of such beauty that it will stop you in your tracks and leave a big smile of wonder on your face.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>Creature della notte e incontri d’amore negli anni mediterranei del pittore russo in mostra  a Palazzo Blu a  Pisa</em></p>
<p>di Simona Maggiorelli</p>
<p>«Le ricerche dei cubisti non mi hanno mai appassionato. Riducevano tutto a una geometria di cui restavano schiavi, mentre io cercavo piuttosto una liberazione plastica, non solo della fantasia o dell’immaginazione», così in un’intervista Marc Chagall raccontava la propria ricerca, non riuscendo a dissimulare un certo rodimento verso quella picassiana che negli anni Dieci del Novecento aveva rivoluzionato radicalmente il modo di intendere e di fare pittura.  Rivendicando il valore inattuale dell’arte figurativa, il pittore di Vitbsk difendeva un suo personale universo poetico, legato alla cultura ebraica e popolare dei villaggi della Russia, un mondo a parte lontanissimo da ciò che accadeva in Europa.Rivendicando legami con una tradizione che si era fermata nel tempo con un&#8217;iconografia quasi raggelata. Non si può dimenticare, senza volerla dire in termini rudemente marxisti che la servitù della gleba fino e oltre la rivoluzione del 1917 era la realtà di larga parte della Russia e la necessità di soddisfare i bisogni primari non lasciava molto tempo per l&#8217;arte .  Ma è anche vero che , quella tradizione, Chagall cercava di  rileggerla attraverso una lente deformante, con carica visionaria, personale.</p>
<p>«Io mi sforzo di costruire un mondo dove l’albero può significare altro &#8211; diceva &#8211; dove io posso immediatamente constatare di avere sette dita nella mano destra, ma cinque in quella sinistra, insomma un universo dove tutto è possibile».</p>
<p>La fantasia di Chagall., come aspirazione,  inseguiva la potenza del sogno, libero dalle griglie rigide del principio di non contraddizione. Cercava la polisemia delle immagini. Ma anche quella palpabile atmosfera di magia che il buio ogni sera porta con sé. E sono epifanie di creature della notte quelle che accendono le sale di Palazzo Blu a Pisa con la mostra <em>Chagall e il Mediterraneo</em> (fino al 17 gennaio, catalogo Giunti) curata da Claudia Beltramo Ceppi e da Meret Meyer.  Centocinquanta opere &#8211; tra dipinti, sculture, ceramiche e tavole &#8211; provenienti dal Pompidou di Parigi, dal museo Chagall di Nizza e dal museo Matisse di Cateau-Cambrésis, in cui Chagall si dedicò allo studio della luce piena del Sud (sulla scia del viaggio in Provenza di Van Gogh) e all’esplorazione di un sentimento più calmo rispetto a quello che connota i quadri del periodo più intensamente orfico.</p>

<p>LE FIABE PERDUTE DI CHAGALL<br />
Un immigrato si familiarizza con la lingua del Paese di adozione facendosi leggere  e rileggere dalla  moglie le favole di La Fontaine. Talvolta la ferma al punto in cui i poeta fa la morale. &#8221; Questa puoi saltarla&#8221;. Poi quando ormai la conosce a memoria, la dipinge con una fantasmagoria di colori gioiosi, brillanti e sgargianti, quasi pop, che accentuano, anzi fanno esplodere l&#8217;elemento ironico, fiabesco, surreale. Lui è già un pittore famoso, non un esordiente, L&#8217;editore che gli ha commissionato le tavole, è uno dei più grandi editori dei suoi tempi. Mal gliene incoglie però. Gli rinfacciamo di tradire il più elegante,&#8221;il più cartesiano e il più lucido&#8221; dei poeti francesi del&#8217;600, una gloria della cultura occidentale, facendolo illustrare &#8221; dalla barbarie urlata ispirata al colore di un orientale&#8221;. L&#8217;immigrato è russo. E per giunta ebreo. Che sarebbe a dire, per quei tempi, peggio che extracomunitario. Nella sua città natale, Vitebsk, ora Bielorussia, era stato registrato all&#8217;anagrafe  come Moshva (mosè) Shagal. A Parigi si sarebbe fatto chiamare Marc Chagall. L&#8217;editore per cui lavorava si chiama  Ambroise Vollard. Ha già fatto fortuna lanciando Cézanne, Matisse , Guaguin, Van Gogh e un altro immigrato. Picasso. Ma gli rimproverano di aver montato soprattutto artisti &#8221; stranieri e semiti&#8221;. Chagall gli ha già illustrato Le anime morte di Gogol, ma con incisioni, in bianco e nero. Gli illustrerà poi, sempre con incisioni, I profeti della Bibbia. Per il progetto La Fontaine si butta invece sul colore, inventando nuovi impasti, ricchi, corposi, talvolta addirittura quasi violenti. Non sono più nemmeno i colori notturni, spenti, tristi della sua infanzia, che pure lo avevano reso celebre. Sono colori solari, che scintillano di allegria, sono i colori del paesaggio francese e del Mediterraneo, che Chagall ha appena scoperto, sono i colori di Cèzanne, di Matisse, dei Fauves, non più quelli dello shtlel, del villaggio-ghetto&#8230;. Tra il 1926 e il 1927 Chagall aveva realizzato un centinai di gauches sulle favole. Il libro a colori non sarebbe mai uscito. Non si hanno ragioni convincenti del perché. Si disse che Vollard avrebbe rinunciato perché le prove di stampa a colore non erano riuscite bene. Più tardi Chagall avrebbe ripiegato su incisioni con gli stessi soggetti. Sarà anche andata così. Ma qualcosa non quadra. La Francia continuava ad accogliere immigrati era un polo d&#8217;attrazione per gli intellettuali da ogni angolo di Europa. Ma in fatto di avversione agli stranieri tirava una brutta aria&#8230; Nell&#8217;inaugurare a Monoco nel 1937 la grande mostra &#8220;Arte degenerata&#8221;, Hitler aveva inorizzato sui dipinti con cieli verdi e mari viola, e proprio la sterilizzazione e il ricovero forzato nei manicomi dei Disgraziati che spingono così perché vedono le cose così, Tra le 730 opere forzosamente  sequestrate e additate all&#8217;infamia c&#8217;erano diversi Chagall&#8230;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We recently asked our Twitter followers, blog readers and Paris Hideaways friends their suggestions for Family Friendly Paris suggestions, which resulted in the following top ten suggestions.  Enjoy the read and feel free to make further suggestions in the comment box below!</p>
<p><strong>1. </strong><a href="http://www.cite-sciences.fr/english/index.php"><strong>Cite des Sciences et l’Industrie</strong></a> (La Cite des Enfants)</p>
<p>Recommended by the most readers/followers and fans including <a title="Paris Metblogs" href="http://twitter.com/ParisMB" target="_blank"><strong>ParisMB</strong></a>, the Cite des Sciences et l’Industrie is the top favorite of those travelling to Paris with kids. Science lovers young and not-so-young can enjoy the biggest science museum in Europe, which was created particularly with youth in mind. Located in the Parc de la Villette in the 19th, The Cite has a planetarium, a submarine, an IMAX theatre and a departments just for kids and teens (la cite des enfants is one of these).</p>

<p>30 Avenue Corentin Cariou Paris<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>2. </strong><a href="http://www.arts-et-metiers.net/"><strong>Musee des Artes et Metiers</strong></a></p>
<p>The second most recommended on the list was yet another science museum, this time the Musée des Arts et Métiers located in the rue Réaumur in the <a title="3rd arrondissement of Paris" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_arrondissement_of_Paris">3rd arrondissement of Paris</a>. This somewhat misleadingly-named ‘Museum of Arts and Crafts’ boasts Foucault’s original pendulum, Formula One engines, and exhibits on everything from telecomms to quantum physics with a lot of hands on activities for kids of all ages.</p>

<p>60 rue Réaumur<br />

<p><strong>3. </strong><a href="http://www.mnhn.fr/"><strong>The Musee National d&#8217;Histoire Naturelle / Jardin des Plantes</strong></a></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Also a top recommendation and perhaps the most enthusiastically recommended by one of our readers, The National Museum of Natural History Museum and the Jardin des Plantes garden surrounding the museum together act as a full day out for the whole family. There is an evolution museum  in a great hall filled with skeletons, specimens, organs and even genetic mutations! There is also a small-ish zoo, but beware – hours can be spent in this fun and walkable zoo.</p>
<p>The Musee National d&#8217;Histoire Naturelle / Jardin des Plantes</p>
<p>rue Cuvier, rue Buffon, rue Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire</p>
<p>Metro: Austerlitz</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mnhn.fr/">www.mnhn.fr</a></p>
<p><strong>4. </strong><strong>Parc de Belleville</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Recommended by <a title="Adam Roberts" href="http://twitter.com/INVISIBLEPARIS"><strong>INVISIBLEPARIS</strong></a> among others, the <strong>Parc de Belleville</strong> is located on the hill of Belleville, and at 108 meters high, it is the highest park in Paris. and kids can climb a 30m tall terrace which provides panoramic views of Paris. Kids can let loose in the 1000m2 park, run among its 1200 trees, check out the 100m long waterfall fountain (the longest in Paris). There is also a purpose built wooden playground for kids, ping pong tables for all and an open-air theatre for the family to enjoy in the warmer months.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>5. </strong><strong>Jardin des Tuileries</strong></p>
<p>This is the most central garden of Paris, and accordingly stunning. The Jardin des Tuileries is very near the Louvre, where you will inevitably visit at some point during your trip to Paris. During the summer the Fete Foraine is a ‘carnival’ of sorts, with a giant ferris wheel-slash-kid-magnet that adults love too, and the gardens and fountains throughout the park allow kids to run freely and safely while parents lounge in the many chairs and benches throughout the park.</p>
<p>1e arrondissement.</p>
<p>Metro:  <em>Tuilerie<span style="text-decoration:underline;">s</span></em></p>
<p><strong>6. </strong><a href="http://www.quaibranly.fr/"><strong>The Musée du Quai Branly</strong></a><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The newest addition to the major museums in Paris is this Ethnology Museum in the 7th. The exhibits are engaging for kids and the design of the building is very entertaining as well. The museum offers not only intelligent exhibits, but scientific events, a cinema, workshops for kids and classes, and both theatre and dance.</p>
<p>7th Arrondissement</p>
<p>Rue de l’Université / Quai Branly</p>
<p><a href="http://www.quaibranly.fr/" target="_blank">www.quaibranly.fr</a></p>
<p><strong>7. </strong><strong>Paris Metro Line 14 – Front Seat</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Kids get a kick out of sitting in the front seat of Metro line 14, an automated (driverless) line which<strong> </strong>crosses the center of Paris, from Saint Lazare and Olympiades. Line 14 does happen to pass through a few tourist sites such as the Church of the Madeleine, the Ministry of Finance, the Paris-Bercy sports area and gardens, Bercy village and the National Library of France.  This was suggested by a an anonymous blog reader, and what a simple and easy idea to keep in mind to keep the kids entertained!</p>
<p><strong>8. </strong><a href="http://en.parisinfo.com/museum-monuments/1338/bois-de-boulogne"><strong>Bois de Boulogne</strong></a></p>
<p>Slightly bigger than New York’s Central Park and over 3 times the size of Hyde Park in London, Bois de Boulongne is known as the ‘main lung’ of Paris, located on the western border of the city. Inside the park is the <a href="http://www.jardindacclimatation.fr/">Jardin d’ Acclimatation</a>, an amusement park which offers a zoo, rollercoasters, a carousel, swinging chairs, bumper cars, and even a railway, golf and a small waterpark. The lines here are almost non-existent and prices are much more economical than a trip out to one of the bigger amusement parks outside of Paris. Entrance is €2.90 per person (including kids 3 and above) with each ride costing the price of one ticket (around €2.70).</p>
<p>Bois de Boulogne<br />
Western edge of the 16th Arrondissement</p>
<p>http://en.parisinfo.com/museum-monuments/1338/bois-de-boulogne</p>
<p><strong>9. </strong><a href="http://www.centrepompidou.fr/"><strong>Centre Pompidou</strong></a></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>While a modern art museum is not necessarily a place associated with Family-friendly tourism, it is the exterior design of the building that kids particularly love at Centre Pompidou, with its exposed airducts, outdoor staircases and primary-colored exterior paint-job.  Also to note: Pompidou is closed on Tuesdays, while other museums are typically closed Mondays, making this a great place to visit with kids on a Monday, especially a rainy Monday.</p>

<p>19 rue Beaubourg<br />
<a href="http://www.centrepompidou.fr/">www.centrepompidou.fr</a><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>10. </strong><strong>Disneyland Paris / Parc Asterix </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>It is with some reluctance that we include Disneyland Paris to this list of Top 10 ‘Paris for Kids’ recommendations. Several readers suggested Disneyland including <strong><a title="Laetitia Laure " href="http://twitter.com/FrenchTwistDC">FrenchTwistDC</a></strong>, and the theme park is obviously aimed at children.  It is a perfect day outside of Paris, the kids will most likely love it, and so it is a safe option. Buy why go all the way to Paris and visit Disneyland?  A more original option would be Parc Asterix, an amusement park based on the comic strip stories The Adventures of Asterix located just 20 miles from Disneyland Paris.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>di Simona Maggiorelli</p>
<div id="attachment_2185" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 170px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2185" title="MG_9606" src="http://simonamaggiorelli.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/mg_9606.jpg?w=200" alt="Gabriella Belli" width="160" height="240" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Gabriella Belli, direttore del Mart</p></div>
<p>Mentre la gran parte delle istituzioni culturali  è in grande sofferenza  per i massicci tagli ai finanziamenti pubblici decisi dal governo Berlusconi, la direttrice del Mart di Rovereto, Gabriella Belli, segnala un dato in controtendenza, del tutto inaspettato: «L’interesse per l’arte contemporanea nel nostro Paese è in crescita». E in veste di presidente dell’Amaci (la rete nata dal “basso” che riunisce ventisette spazi museali) spiega: «Dalla lettura dei dati dell’ultimo anno risulta che gli spazi del contemporaneo hanno tenuto bene alla crisi che ha colpito tutti i musei, non solo in Italia».<br />
<strong>L’arte contemporanea in Italia è sempre stata la Cenerentola. Non lo è più?</strong><br />
Sta crescendo anche da noi un mondo dell’arte composto di artisti, pubblico di appassionati e moltissimi giovani. Ma, quest&#8217;anno, ha inciso anche la Biennale di Venezia che attrae sempre pubblico straniero.<br />
<strong>Mettersi in rete, unire le forze in progetti come l’Amaci quanto conta?</strong><br />
Il progetto è nato per far circolare le conoscenze e il sapere che ognuno di noi ha maturato negli anni. Anche se la rete dell’Amaci riunisce realtà diverse: musei, fondazioni, realtà piccole e grandi nate in contesti territoriali lontani fra loro. Ma c’è un dato che ci unisce sul piano gestionale: il trenta per cento delle nostre risorse viene dal privato. E la fisionomia degli sponsor va maturando. Negli anni Novanta le banche o le imprese che investivano in questo settore non esprimevano competenze specifiche. Oggi i partner privati, senza interferire nelle scelte di direzione culturale, orientano il marketing. E sono spariti gli sponsor che investono per un vantaggio politico immediato.<br />
<strong>Defiscalizzare le donazioni potrebbe essere d’incentivo agli investimenti?</strong><br />
Avere un vebti per cento in meno di Iva  sulle spalle per un museo significa, per esempio, poter investire di più sulla collezione permanente. I maggiori musei in Europa e nel mondo aggiornano le collezioni. Da noi è raro. Invece è importante fare investimenti lungimiranti, non effimeri, anche se daranno risultati culturali solo sul lungo periodo. Il più importante investimento, comunque, riguarda la formazione. Se fin da bambini si è “esposti” a stimoli culturali, cresce l’esigenza di arte, di cinema, di musica. La maggioranza di quei giovani diventeranno, da grandi, visitatori attenti, partecipi.<br />
<strong>Il Mart di Rovereto è un’eccellenza riconosciuta anche all’estero. Come si diventa </strong><strong>un modello? </strong><br />
Il Mart ha una bella storia alle spalle. La nostra forza è stata la continuità nel lavoro e la coerenza del progetto culturale. Favorita anche dal fatto che, casualmente, non ci siano stati cambi di direzione.<br />
<strong>Dopo il Puskin e l’Ermitage, il Gropius-Bau di Berlino ospita fino a gennaio la sua mostra I linguaggi del futurismo. Il Mart ormai esporta progetti?</strong><br />
Sì, ma richiede molto sacrificio. Esportare progetti culturali è un superlavoro che non produce risultati immediati e che richiede un team di lavoro davvero motivato. I miei collaboratori, per capirci, vanno a cento all’ora. Ma occorre anche il sostegno della politica, in senso alto. Le amministrazioni locali tentine ci sostengono, capiscono l’importante di istituzioni in crescita come la nostra la nostra. Ma Rovereto fa 30mila abitanti e tutta la regione 450mila. Il Mart non può vivere solo di pubblico locale, per quanto ci segua con grande attenzione.<br />
<strong>Come si riesce allora ad attrarre pubblico da fuori regione e dall&#8217;estero?</strong><br />
Con progetti culturali organici, come accennavo. Il Mart si è costruito l’ identità  su progetti trasversali dedicati ad arte e scienza, arte e teatro, arte e musica. E così via. Ma anche attraverso una forte politica di investimenti nella collezione permanente. Negli anni Ottanta non avevamo da prestare. Oggi tra depositi e collezioni contiamo su 13mila opere, fra cui molti capolavori.<br />
A<strong>l Mart è conservato un nucleo importante di opere futuriste. E a Marinetti e compagni lei dedicò una grossa mostra a Parigi.<br />
Come valuta gli eventi del centenario 2009?</strong></p>
<p>La compresenza di molte mostre ne ha penalizzate alcune. Non si può fare una mostra sul Futurismo senza opere di Boccioni. Ma la sua produzione, come è noto, non fu amplissima (morì a 37 anni). Così, alcune esposizioni del centenario risultano acefale. Senza contare che le sue opere più interessanti erano in mostra a Parigi e Londra. Parlo di quelle conservate in America perché l’Italia degli anni Cinquanta, curiosamente, le rigettò. Detto questo, ho trovato l’operazione di ricostruzione storica fatta dal Pompidou piuttosto strana: se si selezionano opere fino al 1916 o il 1918, non si vede il senso complessivo del Futurismo, anche nelle sue derive. In più esporre opere cubiste di Braque e Picasso accanto a quelle futuriste segnala uno scarto innegabile. E non a vantaggio di Severini e sodali. La grande mostra del 1986 a palazzo Grassi aveva segnato un avanzamento negli studi: l’importanza del futurismo risiede nel suo sperimentare ad ampio raggio, fra arte, cinema, teatro, moda. Nella ricerca dell’opera totale. Mostre come quella di Parigi ci fanno tornare indietro.</p>
<p>LA GIORNATA NAZIONALE DELL&#8217;ARTE CONTEMPORANEA<br />
Leone d’oro alla Biennale di Venezia 2009, Tobias Rehberger il 3 ottobre, per la quinta giornata nazionale del contemporaneo organizzata dall’Amaci (Associazione musei d’arte contemporanea italiani), presenta il suo ultimo lavoro al MAXXI di Roma. All’esterno del museo progettato da Zaha Hadid  e che sarà inaugurato ufficialmente nel 2010 l’artista tedesco ha realizzato un’installazione con giochi di luci che prosegue la ricerca sviluppata in videoinstallazioni concepite come stranianti riletture di capolavori del cinema, da Welles a Kubrick. L’intervento di Rehberger nella capitale si inserisce in un calendario fittissimo di mostre ed eventi che il 3 ottobre s’inaugurano in contemporanea. Dal Museon di Bolzano in giù.  In Lombardia, per esempio, parte il progetto <em>Twister </em>che dissemina nuovi lavori di artisti come Loris Cecchini, Massimo Bartolini, Marzia Migliora e altri nell’hinterland milanse. A Firenze, invece, la notte tra il 2 e il 3 ottobre apre i battenti EX3, il nuovo Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea di Firenze che sarà inaugurato il 29 ottobre con la personale di Rosefeldt e Tweedy.<br />

<p style="text-align:justify;">Ou de l&#8217;insoutenable légèreté d&#8217;une conférence de presse&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Etre capitale ou être inutile, on passe très vite de l&#8217;un à l&#8217;autre quand on est &#8220;petite main&#8221;&#8230; Surtout dans l&#8217;édition ? je demande avec un air ingénu.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Qu&#8217;importe, pendant ce temps, je réfléchis à ce blog, qui occupe finalement pas mal mes pensées, sans grand résultat pour l&#8217;instant ! Certes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Une sorte de crainte de déflorer cet espace. Fébrile à l&#8217;idée de ne pas prendre la bonne direction. Ou pas. (c&#8217;est à la mode, je crois)(d&#8217;ailleurs je ferai sans doute un article sur ces expressions en vogue). Bref.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Une conférence donc au cours de laquelle on croise des journalistes, plus ou moins sympathiques, plus ou moins ressemblants à des journalistes, un auteur de BD très connu de ceux qui le connaissent, des attachées de presse très tendues, et une petite &#8220;ouvreuse&#8221;, moi.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ce que je préfère dans ces conférences et réunions très parisiennes, ce sont tous les codes qui s&#8217;y déploient. La notoriété (qu&#8217;elle soit corporatiste ou élargie), la hiérarchie sociale jouent à plein. Une pantomime parfaitement orchestrée. Et malheur à celui qui y déroge. Il sera tout de suite identifié !</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dans le registre de <em>&#8220;J&#8217;ai testé pour vous !&#8221;</em>, j&#8217;ai fait la gaffe de ne pas reconnaître (je dirais plutôt connaître) la plus grande libraire de Paris dont le prénom seul fait frémir ou jubiler l&#8217;édition (selon que vous êtes dans ses grâces ou non), ou encore de prendre un auteur pour une libraire&#8230; Réaction outrée des intéressées, bien entendu, et de mon côté, tentative de pirouette vaine, impossible d&#8217;en sortir avec toute sa dignité. Pour du beurre. Conclusion : Je suis fascinée par l&#8217;assurance qu&#8217;a cette catégorie de personnes d&#8217;être forcément connues de tout Paris (au-delà importe peu après tout !).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Et finalement je joue le jeu des convenances, rien n&#8217;est plus formateur que de s&#8217;adapter à un microcosme. Et c&#8217;est drôle, en plus.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mais j&#8217;aime surtout les belles rencontres. Avoir croisé de bonnes plumes ou de grands passionnés, avoir élucidé le mystère <em>Anne&#38;Julien</em> (cri de ralliement des lectrices de <em>Muze</em> !), avoir écouté Emmanuel Carrère parler de l&#8217;ère stalinienne ; ils contribuent à enrichir mon quotidien.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Et pour ces petits riens je suis contente d&#8217;avoir été une petite main.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Walking, walking and walking.  My dogs are barking.  The Louvre in the morning, the Pompidou in the afternoon and the Arc de Triomphe in the evening.  WOW. </p>
<p>I have already written about the Louvre, it was grand.  I found a little crepe place for lunch and headed to the Pompidou.  The Pompedou is the Paris Modern Art Gallery.  I wasn&#8217;t sure what to think.  Many people told me that it was OK, not their thing, but for the most part I like modern art.  I walked through the Marais district and embraced the Pompidou.</p>
<p>At the front desk I asked what is the &#8220;can&#8217;t miss&#8221; art in the Musee&#8217;.  They directed me to the permanent collection on the 5th floor.  So away I go, I should tell you that the building is a piece of modern art itself.  It is a museum that is turned inside out.  All the mechanical guts are on the outside, not hidden in walls.  The conduit, pipes, machinery, electric, and others are color coded.  Water pipes are green, air conduit is blue, people moving machinery is red, etc.  Very cool.  Outside on the promenade is a people watching show.  There are street performers, fun fountains, and lots of Parisian&#8217;s just hanging out.  A party atmosphere, it&#8217;s happening.</p>
<div id="attachment_207" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 235px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-207" title="Musee' Days 302" src="http://spellitforme.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/musee-days-302.jpg?w=225" alt="Pompidou Musee'" width="225" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pompidou Musee&#39;</p></div>
<p>I love this museum.  Much of the art on the 5th floor is post impressionism, basically impressionism with no structure.  There is art with raw emotion, some happy some sad and every thing in between.  The colors and shape reflect the artist feelings and I find it fascinating.  The art is very subjective and applied to the viewers feelings.  I love the freedom. </p>
<p>This museum made me feel happy and young.  To me the Pompidou was young and hip, new and fresh.  The Louvre old and wise, the D&#8217;orsay middle aged with knowledge and youth.  I love them all, in their own way. </p>
<div id="attachment_206" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 235px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-206" title="Musee' Days 305" src="http://spellitforme.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/musee-days-305.jpg?w=225" alt="Too much flash at the Pompidou Musee'" width="225" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Too much flash at the Pompidou Musee&#39;</p></div>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-208" title="Musee' Days 340" src="http://spellitforme.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/musee-days-340.jpg?w=300" alt="Musee' Days 340" width="300" height="225" /><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-209" title="Musee' Days 330" src="http://spellitforme.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/musee-days-330.jpg?w=300" alt="Musee' Days 330" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>After I had a good viewing of the art, I went up to the restaurant on the top floor.  This was recommended by every guide book and best done at sunset.<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-212" title="Musee' Days 343" src="http://spellitforme.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/musee-days-343.jpg?w=300" alt="Musee' Days 343" width="300" height="225" /><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-213" title="Musee' Days 347" src="http://spellitforme.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/musee-days-347.jpg?w=300" alt="Musee' Days 347" width="300" height="224" /><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-214" title="Musee' Days 354" src="http://spellitforme.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/musee-days-354.jpg?w=225" alt="Musee' Days 354" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p>Paris, the sunset and a glass of vin.  Perfection.  Need I say more?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Byłem już w brzuchu wieloryba i przeżyłem. Poczułem się na siłach, aby zmierzyć się z brzuchem mniejszym ale stokroć groźniejszym. Grozę, a za razem podniecenie wynikające z zapowiedzi niezwykłej przygody, wzmógł fakt, a właściwie trzy fakty, podobne do trzech prób dostania się do strzeżonego brzucha. Po pierwsze &#8211; kurtka (oddałem), po drugie &#8211; za duży plecak (oddałem, wcześniej wyciągając z niego wszystko co miałem, czyli torbę fotograficzną i monopoda), po trzecie &#8211; monopod, za dziwny, za długi i do tego umożliwia robienie zdjęć w muzealnych warunkach (oddałem). Na pocieszenie pozostawiono mi torbę fotograficzną, a w niej aparat&#8230; jak się okazało niedziałający bez baterii.</p>
<p>* * *</p>
<p>Podróż po brzuchu Pompidou, jest szaloną wyprawą w krainę &#8216;tysiąca krain&#8217;. Tysiąca nastrojów, emocji, skojarzeń. Widz pląta się po labiryntach sal, wpadając spod zimnego wodospadu, w ciemną, buchającą gorącem jamę horroru. Z bezwstydnej intymności, jednym krokiem przechodzi do sedna tajemnicy, z zawiłych jelit sztuki ze wstrętem wygrzebuje się w zaułek kontemplacji ciszy. Przypomina ta podróż obłąkańczy, zapętlony trans, opadający szaleńczo i wznoszący się gwałtownie rollercoaster emocji.</p>
<p>Dla mojej ciasnej duszy, przystosowanej do łagodnych zmian klimatu, do następstw pór roku &#8211; labirynt nowoczesnej sztuki &#8211; jest balansem na skraju szaleństwa. Oglądam się po sobie, aby dostrzec ciężki zapach ulatniający się z obrazu. Osłupiały, nie mogę drgnąć, zastygły w wibrującym powietrzu prześwietlanym filmami, czającymi się w mroku artystycznych dusz. W cieniach oczodołów, w płynności szybującego ptaka, w kolorach pożaru, w zapachu makijażu, w kostiumach nagości, w napiętym do granic możliwości spokoju.</p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-374" title="Jedna ze zjaw błądzących po Pompidou. fot. B." src="http://inspiromat.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/p9036065.jpg" alt="Zjawa" width="497" height="372" /><em>Jedna ze zjaw błądzących po Pompidou. fot. B.</em></p>
<p>A w tym wszystkim jeszcze ludzie, miotający się wśród eksplodujących wrażeń. Zdumieni, podekscytowani, zainteresowani, oburzeni, zawstydzeni, zezłoszczeni, podnieceni, oderwani, przyklejeni, lekcy, bezwładni, lakoniczni, klasyczni, szczęśliwi. Błąkają się niczym duchy w spinającej ekspozycję wszędobylskiej ciszy, wyrywanej z gardła rozszarpywanego wrażeniami widza.</p>
<p>Zdumiewające!</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Zapraszam do wysłuchania fragmentu napisanego do filmu &#8216;Pasja&#8217;. Dla mamy Józefa.<em> [matka.mp3]</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>well it was amazing, so so good!!</p>
<p>Not only did we get to visit the largest mcdonalds in europe, we got to meet disney characters and go on rides and have quality family time and buy loads of disney crap and see the parades and get scared on the rollercoasters etcc.</p>
<p>So happy days there, here are some snaps of things.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-592" title="SANY0834" src="http://gordondouglas.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/sany0834.jpg" alt="SANY0834" width="500" height="375" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-593" title="SANY0860" src="http://gordondouglas.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/sany0860.jpg" alt="SANY0860" width="500" height="375" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-594" title="SANY0866" src="http://gordondouglas.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/sany0866.jpg" alt="SANY0866" width="500" height="375" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-595" title="SANY0874" src="http://gordondouglas.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/sany0874.jpg" alt="SANY0874" width="500" height="375" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-596" title="SANY0839" src="http://gordondouglas.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/sany0839.jpg" alt="SANY0839" width="500" height="375" />This last photo I really like as it purely reminds me of spirited away with all the lights on in an abandoned train station.</p>
<p>Disneyland was useful for my art as it also made me think of the 2D cartoons being the real things while the actual real 3D walking around characters were representations. This is quite interesting for me as its usually the other way round. The 2D being more valuable than the actual physical being.</p>
<p>On our day trip to Paris me and my Mum visited the Pompidou centre, it was amazing. SO brilliant, definitely the equivalent of the tate but in paris. I did feel whilst looking through the collection that it was very feminist based, and as I think feminism is great, it is only great up to a certain point. I believe that woman are definitely not discrimated against in the art world, bad art is discriminated against. You will only be seen as a good artist if you have good art. I felt whilst looking through that the gallery felt very differently to my own beliefs.</p>

<p>above is a Jim Hodges exhibition at the Pompidou which I found most fascinating. I won&#8217;t begin to evaluate it, but it was all about love, which is such a lovely subject which I think is possibly overlooked at the moment maybe due to it being so clicheed. I just really loved the simplicity of the work, and the aesthetic values, possibly the documentation of every flower he&#8217;d seen for twenty days being my favourite. It was similar to a documentation piece I&#8217;d done for my graded unit so I identfied immediately with it without having to look at the title or description.</p>
<p><object width="500" height="303" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/xav5cy&amp;related=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/xav5cy&amp;related=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="303" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>I feel the highlight of the trip into paris was the meeting of a lifetime, a firm answer to my question of art and doubt.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-612" title="SANY0897" src="http://gordondouglas.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/sany0897.jpg" alt="SANY0897" width="500" height="375" />Definitely one of those moments you&#8217;ll remember the rest of your life. I was so completely surprised that it was in the pompidou centre, well a version of it at least.</p>
<p>It made me just so overwhelmed. I had been so used to taking pictures with disney characters it was kind of a huge comparison to that, and it totally says something about art and the power it has.</p>
<p>I also pay a lot of credit to my mum for taking this photo as it really captures something mysterious about the value of art, the fact that I was so in awe as to just being in its presence.</p>
<p>So yeah, the trip was a complete success and I have every intention of going again very soon</p>
<p>au revoirr</p>

<p>While at the Centre Pompidou in Paris a couple of weeks ago, I took photos of some of the amazing modernist typography featured on the periodicals and catalogue covers that were on display. Really, really inspiring design. I especially like the typeface used on the cover of <em>Intervention Surrealiste</em>. I&#8217;d love to have a digital cut. Hmmm&#8230;maybe something to work on in my spare time. FontLab anyone?</p>
