Sunday, Summer

Sometimes, if you are out of the main stream, sunday could be in black&white. Like in this T-Shirt

Plastificando la realtà

Alla Biennale Arte 2013, ancora in corso, particolare impressione ha fatto l’opera di Pawel Althamer. L’autore polacco ha fatto dei calchi con le facce dei veneziani e poi le ha riempite e adattate con delle plastiche (il padre aveva una fabbrica di questi materiali). Il risultato è suggestivo.

Intervista – Interview

Mi piace questo modo di intervistare gli artisti! Vorrei poterlo fare con i serissimi musicisti. Difficle trovarne qualcuno disposto a mettersi in gioco. Forse ho conosciuto Mauricio Kagel quando era troppo grande per queste cose. Forse anche io dovrei esserlo… Provocare i provocatori, ma ponendo domande intelligenti. Non facendo spazzatura in stile televisivo.
I like this way of making interview to artists. I wish I could do the same with musicians but they are too serious for that stuff. It is difficult to find someone disposed to get involved. Maybe I met Mauricio Kagel too late. He was too old. Maybe I should be old too… I wish provoke provocative people, but with good questions. Not like the garbage we watch in tv.

Dedicato a Denis Versweyveld

I met this artist in Rome. I was so curious to see his opera and so I discovered his website:
denisversweyveld.com
This is what he wrote:
I have been intrigued with connecting common still life objects to columns, tables, posts, etc, to present these items as both sculpture and monument. The old cemetery that abuts my property has head stones and obelisks that are simple and direct. These monuments, and the architectural forms, details and materials used in our early 19th century home and studio have influenced and inspired my work. The timbers used in the building, the joinery, the textural quality of plaster and lath and the way these materials receive light are all part of what I respond to.

I like this artist and his way of thinking of time
