"If you look at the form of the pavilion, it's really to be seen in the round," said Libeskind.
"I wanted it to be interesting from different perspectives, whether you come from one entrance or another, or whether you just stumble upon it. It will always change in light."
Milan EXPO 2015 opened to the public on May 1. Open until October 31, serving its theme "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life".
Vanke Pavilion, designed by Daniel Libeskind.

To be in Limbo
2015-04-22
It is actually how I felt in the last couple of days.
But this particular piece of art, an hommage to Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte, the floating rock [by the artist group Steinbrener/Dempf & Huberuch] represents one's own floating beliefs in religion, or in the system, if you wish.
On display at Vienna's Jesuit Church, between 20 November 2014 – 19 April 2015. For more information please visit www.steinbrener-dempf.com

the backs of things
2015-04-15
"The back of a canvas yields far more information than just a work's material origins. It can be a repository of additional images, extant or effaced; a visual record of trial and error in an earlier stage of the creative process; or perhaps, the site of a work by a different artist. It may even provide clues for re-dating the image on the front. In addition the stretcher often has the character of a manuscript, even a palimpsest. Words and numbers, hand rendered, stamped, or typeset, appear in full or in fragments, indelibly inscribed or diminished by time, deliberately placed or haphazardly affixed. These pieces of evidence - be they dealers' inventory numbers, names of private collectors, or labels from museum exhibitions - document the triumphs and travails of the object. They speak of countries and oceans traversed, different domiciles and audiences, fortunes gained and lost, and the vigor and weakness of the art market. Whereas the image on the front embodies the artist's vision and the worldview of a certain culture at a specific moment in time, the backs of things reveal the ongoing history of specific pictures and the many stories they have to tell."
Reverse of Juan Gris, Houses in Paris, Place Ravignan. Unfinished oil painting of an unidentified woman. In: Cubism; The Leonard A. Lauder Collection. Emily Braun, Rebecca A. Rabinow. Published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, distributed by Yale University Press, New Haven in 2014.

Raising further questions
2015-04-03
Detail of a Jean Paul Gaultier dress, photographed during the exhibition "The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk" at Kunsthal Rotterdam, between 10 February and 12 May 2013. Currently on show at the Grand Palais, Paris.
Gaultier left the ready-to-wear fashion business last September, focusing only on one-of-a-kind and couture garments. In a recent interview with The Associated Press he elaborates more on the reasons why he left the industry. Some quotes might be instructive: "Too many clothes kills clothes... Fashion has changed. A proliferation of clothing." ... "The system doesn't work... There aren't enough people to buy them. We're making clothes that aren't destined to be worn."

A sense of oneness No.1
2015-03-28
Completely unplanned we ended up watching Symphysis, NDT II’s new dance program at Theater aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht. 4 choreographies, like an exquisite four-course menu presented by a great chef. Each piece touched on different senses and emotions, and together they culminated in a sensation of unexplainable harmony. You had the feeling that all is fine, there is still some beauty and a sense of oneness out there. What we all need badly.

Dr. Sidney Cohen interviews a research subject and administers LSD to her at the Los Angeles Veterans Administration Hospital. The research subject volunteered for the experiment and was chosen based on her being "normal". Normal possibly meaning here without any previous traumatic experience and in good general mental health.
Exceptional footage, especially how the research subject experiences colors.
