Marcel Duchamp & Beatrix Potter, famous birthdays July 28th

"If it's not shocking, it's not worth doing..."

The Creative Act:
"Let's consider two important factors, the two poles of the creation of art:
the artist on one hand, and on the other, the spectator who later becomes the posterity."

"...it's the posthumous spectactor, because the contemporary spectator is worthless, in my opinion. His is of minimum value compared to that of posterity, which, for example, allows some things to stay in the Louvre."
Source: http://www.marcelduchamp.net/

Beatrix Potter, artist, storyteller, countrywoman...more than just bunnies.
Beatrix Potter may be best known as the creator of charming characters like Peter Rabbit, Mrs. Tiggy Winkle and Hunca Munca, but, as is true in most lives, she was in reality many other things, as well. A product of Victorian times, she far surpassed societal expectations of women of her era and class. She was an accomplished botanical illustrator, a sheep breeder and farmer, a wife, and a conservationist greatly devoted to her home, the Lake District of England.

George Bernard Shaw, famous birthday July 26th

Invitation

You are cordially invited at the daylong workshop titled 'Jugalbondi : Art & Poetry' organized by Buriganga Arts & Crafts and Vertical. Chief Guest : Poet Shafique Alam Mehdi (Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Bangladesh). Special Guests : Prof Samarjit Roy Choudhury, Prof Mostafizul Haque & Dr. Abdun Noor Tushar.

Friday July 29, 2011.

Your kind presence shall highly be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Rafique Sulayman, Curator

Amit GOSWAMI, Ph.D. on Creativity in The Quantum Activist Workbook

"George Bernard Shaw’s
Heartbreak House could
very well take place
even in this twenty-first
century:
Ellie: A soul is a very expensive thing to keep:
much more so than a motor car.
Shotover: Is it? How much does your soul eat?
Ellie: Oh, a lot. It eats music and pictures
and books and mountains and lakes and
beautiful things to wear and nice people 22
to be with. In this country you can’t have them
without a lot of money: that is why our souls are
so horribly starved.
But like Ellie, what most of us don’t realize is
that what starves the soul is not the lack of money
to consume soul-food, but the lack of creativity
to produce soul-food. And when mediocrity and
consumerism produce soul starvation en masse
the creative people in our society, instead of
being the heroes whom we follow toward the
evolution of consciousness, become “outsiders”
whom we mistrust as “too dangerous” to follow as
examples.
We cannot respect creative people unless
we ourselves appreciate the value of creativity
enough to become producers as well as
consumers of soul food."

[I N V I T O] A Locus Animae l'ultimo video del Gruppo Sinestetico

IN V I T O

A LOCUS ANIMAE: HOMAGE TO JOSEPH BEUYS

Domani sera, 26 luglio, a Locus Animae, ci sarà la presentazione dell'ultimo video del Gruppo Sinestetico (Albertin, Sassu, Scordo): Homage to Joseph Beuys. Sinestesia, per il Gruppo, è un pensiero filosofico. Significa operare in arte a contatto con la natura coinvolgendo i 5 sensi, come nella filosofia beuysiana, che si basa sulla protezione dell'ambiente e dell'uomo che in esso vive, la solidale e libera collaborazione e comunicazione tra uomini di differenti culture, origini, religioni, stati sociali, economici e politici. Dalle ore 21.00.

MON JUGEMENT

Ils m’ont jugé devant les fleurs

Les fleurs se sont tues

Les jours ont parlé…

Une accusation a pénétré mes yeux

J’ai clamé mon innocence

Ils ne m’ont pas écouté…


Je sais

Les fleurs pensaient à quelque chose

Les nuits m’en sont témoins

Je les ai suppliés de m’écouter

Les déclarations des étoiles

Ils n’ont pas écouté.


En plein milieu des nuits

Mon cœur s’est senti encerclé

Je me suis laissé emporter

Par les obscurités

Qui bandent mes yeux…

Ma solitude était plantée dans mon cœur

Je n’ai pas pu expliquer

Que je n’avais personne

Ils n’ont pas écouté…


Ils m’ont jugé devant les fleurs

Ils ont lié les nuits

A mes bras

Et ils m’ont exilé dans le noir

Tout seul…

J’ai clamé mon innocence

Ils n’ont pas écouté.

My Judgement

They have judged me in front of the flowers.

The flowers are dead,

the days have spoken.

An accusation pierced my eyes

and I proclaimed my innocence.

They did not listen.

I know the flowers were thinking,

the nights are my witnesses.

I implored them to listen

to what the stars declared.

They did not hear.

In the middle of the night,

my heart surrounded,

I let myself be blindfolded

with obscurities

and swept away,

loneliness planted in my heart.

I could not explain that I had no one,

they would not listen.

They judged me in front of the flowers

and tied the nights to my arms.

They exiled me to darkness

all alone.

I proclaimed my innocence.

They did not listen.

YARGILANIŞIM


Yargıladılar beni çiçeklerin önünde

Çiçekler sustu

Günler konuştu ...

Gözlerimin içine girdi bir suçlama

Ben suçsuzum, dedim

Dinlemediler ...


Biliyorum

Bir düşündüğü vardı çiçeklerin

Geceler şahidimdir

Dinleyin, dedim

Yıldızların söyleyişlerini ...

Dinlemediler.


Yüreğime sarılan gece yarıları

Bıraktım kendimi

Gözlerimi bağlayan

Karanlıklara ...

Saplanmıştı yüreğime yalnızlığım

Anlatamadım kimsesizliğimi

Dinlemediler ...


Yargıladılar beni çiçeklerin önünde

Geceleri bağladılar

Kollarıma

Ve bir karanlığa sürdüler beni

Yapayalnız


Ben suçsuzum dedim

Dinlemediler.

Meine Verurteilung



Sie haben mich vor den Blumen gerichtet

die Blumen haben sich zerstört

die Tage haben gesprochen.....

eine Beschuldigung hat meine Augen durchdrungen

ich habe meine Unschuld hinausgeschrien

sie haben nicht zugehört.....



Ich weiss

die Blumen haben an etwas anderes gedacht

die Nächte sind meine Zeugen

ich habe sie angefleht mir zuzuhören

die Erklärung der Sterne

sie haben nicht zugehört.



Inmitten der Nächte

hat sich mein Herz eingekreist gefühlt

ich habe mich hinweg tragen lassen

durch die Finsternis

die meine Augen verbunden hat.....

meine Einsamkeit wurde in mein Herz gepflanzt

ich konnte nicht erklären

dass ich niemanden habe

sie haben nicht zugehört....



Sie haben mich vor den Blumen gerichtet

sie haben die Nächte

an meine Arme gebannt

und sie haben mich in die Dunkelheit verbannt

ganz allein.



Ich habe meine Unschuld hinausgeschrien

sie haben nicht zugehört.

IL MIO GIUDIZIO

(PROCESSO)


Mi hanno processato

davanti ai fiori

I fiori si sono uccisi

I giorni hanno parlato.

L'accusa ha perforato i miei occhi

Ho gridato la mia innocenza

Essi non mi hanno creduto.


Lo so

I fiori pensavano a

qualcosa

Le notti mi sono testimoni

Io li ho supplicati di

ascoltare

Le dichiarazioni delle stelle

Essi non mi hanno creduto.


Nella profondità delle notti

Il mio cuore si è sentito

accerchiato

Io mi sono lasciato trasportare

Dall'oscurità

Che ha bendato i miei occhi.

La solitudine era piantata nel

miocuore

Non sono riuscito a spiegare

Che non avevo nessuno

Essi non mi hanno creduto.


Mi hanno processato

davanti ai fiori

Hanno legato le notti

Alle mie braccia

E mi hanno esiliato nel buio

Tutto solo.

Ho gridato la mia innocenza

Essi non mi hanno creduto.

Mi juicio


Ellos me han juzgado delante de las flores.

Las flores están muertas.

Los días han hablado.

Una acusación ha penetrado mis ojos

y yo he gritado mi inocencia

pero ellos no han escuchado.


Sé que las flores pensaban en cualquier cosa.

Los noches me son testigos.

Les he suplicado para que oigan

las declaraciones de las estrellas

pero ellos no han escuchado.


En mitad de la noche,

mi corazón se ha sentido encarcelado.

Me he dejado acorralar

por la oscuridad que nubla mis ojos.

La soledad está plantada en mi corazón.

No he podido explicar que estoy solo.

No me han escuchado.


Ellos me han juzgado delante de las flores,

han atado las noches a mis brazos

y me han exiliado solitario en las tinieblas.


Yo he clamado mi inocencia.

Ellos no han escuchado

MIJN VEROORDELING

Zij hebben mij veroordeeld in ‘t aanschijn van de bloemen
De bloemen hebben zich van het leven beroofd
De dagen hebben gesproken...
Een beschuldiging is mijn ogen binnengedrongen
Ik heb mijn onschuld staande gehouden
Ze hebben niet geluisterd...

Ik weet
Dat de bloemen aan iets anders dachten
De nachten zijn het komen getuigen
Ik heb ze gesmeekt naar mij te luisteren
Naar de verklaringen van de sterren
Hebben ze niet geluisterd.

Midden in de nachten
Voelde mijn hart zich omsingeld
Ik heb mij laten meevoeren
Door de duisternissen
Die mijn ogen blinddoekten...
Mijn eenzaamheid werd geplant in mijn hart
Ik heb niet kunnen uitleggen
Dat ik niemand had
Zij hebben niet geluisterd...

Zij hebben mij veroordeeld in ’t aanschijn van de bloemen
Zij hebben de nachten gebonden
Aan mijn armen
En zij hebben mij verbannen in de donkerte
Heel alleen...

Ik heb mijn onschuld staande gehouden
Zij hebben niet geluisterd...

von einem
stillen Händler gekauft habt.
Ihr habt eure Schulden noch nicht beglichen.
Unter euren düsteren Augenlidern versucht ihr etwas zu empfinden.
Ohne euch bewusst zu werden, wie weit ihr euch schon von
euch selbst
entfernt habt, geht ihr weiter, in dem ihr eure
Gedankenseile wie einen
Sessellift benutzt.
Ihr habt ein Frösteln, je nach dem welche unzähligen
Elemente ihr berührt.
Mit euren Schreien, die ihr im Moment einer empfundenen
Erschütterung
ausstösst, wenn das Echo eurer Worte die Gedankenpforte
verlässt,
verscheucht ihr alle Vögel um euch herum. Denn so verderben
eure Rosen
angesichts eurer Überlegungen. Und wegen euren verrückten
Momenten, fallen
eure Kristalle von euren Überdachungen.
Je nach dem wie euer Gedankenfeld enger wird, wächst eure
innere
Stadt. Ihr werdet müde, weil ihr durch die inneren Strassen
und Gassen
rennt.
Je nach dem wie das Licht eurer Anspannungsmaschine auf
eure Nächte fällt,
wird euer menschliches Sein zum Roboter.
Die Kröten eurer schmutzigen Gewässer machen selbst den
Krokodilen Angst.
Eure innere Reise lässt euch altern.
Eure inneren Schreie steigern sich.
Ihr produziert Schwierigkeiten auf allen Vieren.
Die Helferzellen eurer Laboratorien geben euch keine
Gelegenheit mehr, angenehme
Momente zu erleben.
Während der Zeiger eurer inneren Angst von unten bis oben
versagt,
habt ihr gar keine Möglichkeit mehr euch zu äussern. Mit
jeder Bewegung der
Uhr, reissen sich die Jahreszeiten von eurem Herz.
Eure Einsamkeit hört nicht auf, euren Geist zu durchqueren.

THE CITY WHICH IS INSIDE YOU

You live in your own inner city, which you bought in a
silent auction.
You were again unable to cancel your debts.
Under your blackening eyelids you try to feel certain
things.
Without noticing your withdrawal from self, you leave for
distant parts
by using your ropes of thought like a ski-lift.
Your shudders increase as you touch the numberless elements.
In your screams at the moment when you feel the jolts
from the echoes
of your words crossing the threshold of your thought,
you send birds fleeing before you. As you breathe, your
roses wither.
In your moments of madness, crystals fall from your roof.
As your field of thought shrinks, your city expands. You
exhaust yourself
from running down the streets and avenues.
As the lamps of your voltage machines alight upon your
nights,
your humans robotize themselves.
The toads in your dirty waters frighten even the crocodiles.
Your inner journey makes you grow older.
Your internal cries amplify themselves.
You manifest difficulties with forty paws.
The auxiliary cells of your laboratories do not give you
the opportunity to live any pleasurable moments.
While the fear indicator inside you slackens you through
and through, you
have not
even the possibility of speaking. With each movement of
the clock,
the seasons rip themselves out of your heart.
Your solitude traverses your spirit without cease.

LA CIUDAD QUE VIVE EN USTEDES
Ustedes viven en la ciudad
que compraron en una subasta silenciosa.
Nuevamente fueron incapaces
de pagar sus deudas.
Bajo sus pupilas ennegrecidas,
ensayan sentir ciertas cosas.
Sin darse cuenta de su propio distanciamiento,
parten lejos,
utilizando sus cuerdas de pensamiento
como un teleférico.
Su temblor aumenta
cuando tocan los incontables elementos.
Con sus gritos,
ponen en fuga a los pájaros,
cuando sienten las sacudidas dadas
por el eco de palabras que superan su pensamiento.
Con sus respiraciones,
las rosas se marchitan.
En los momentos de locura,
los cristales caen de sus tejados.
Cuando su radio de pensamiento se encoge,
su ciudad crece.
De tanto correr calles y avenidas,
ustedes se han fatigado.
Mientras las luces de tantas máquinas de tensión
invaden las noches,
sus seres humanos se robotizan.
En las aguas negras,
los sapos tienen miedo a los cocodrilos.
Su viaje interior los ha envejecido.
Sus alaridos interiores se amplifican.
Ustedes producen dificultades a cuarenta manos.
Las celdas auxiliares de sus laboratorios
niegan cualquier momento placentero.
Mientras sube y baja el indicador del miedo,
no tienen la posibilidad de hablar.
A cada movimiento del reloj,
las estaciones se separan de su corazón
y la soledad no deja de atravesar su espíritu.

DE STAD IN U
Gij woont in de stad die in uzelf aanwezig is en die gij in alle
stilte gekocht hebt.
Gij hebt uw schulden nog niet kunnen aflossen.
Onder Uw donker wordende wenkbrauwen probeert gij bepaalde
dingen te voelen.
Zonder u rekenschap te geven van uw vervreemding van uzelf, vertrekt
gijver weg door gebruik te maken van uw gedachtekoorden als een
stoeltjeslift.Gij huivert naarmate gij ontelbare elementen aanraakt. In
uw kreten, op het momentdat gij de schokken voelt van de echo’s van
uw woorden die de draagwijdte van uwwoorden overschrijden, doet gij
de vogels voor u wegvluchten. Tijdens uw zuchten,
verwelken uw rozen. Tijdens uw momenten van dwaasheid, vallen de
kristallen van
uw daken.
Naarmate uw gedachteveld krimpt, breidt uw stad zich uit. Gij put u uit
door te rennen
in de straten en lanen.
Naarmate de lichten van uw spanningsmachines vallen op uw nachten,
worden uw
menselijke wezens herleid tot robotten.
De padden van uw vuile wateren jagen zelfs de krokodillen de angst op
het lijf.
Uw inwendige reis doet u verouderen.
Uw interne kreten worden luider en luider.
Gij produceert moeilijkheden in de hoogste graad
de hulpcellen van uw laboratoria geven u niet de kans
om aangename momenten te beleven.
Terwijl in u de wijzer van de angst u laat vallen van hoog naar laag,
krijgt gij zelf de kans niet om te praten. Bij elk getik van het
uurwerk, scheuren de seizoenen zich los van uw hart...
Uw eenzaamheid blijft uw geest doorkruisen.

Almandrade: Poética de la levedad

Almandrade:
Poética de la levedad

Por Nicolas Bernard

El trabajo de Almandrade, tanto el pictórico como el
lingüístico, se ha impuesto a lo largo de todos estos años como un
lugar de reflexión solitario y al margen de la escena cultural de
Bahía. Después de unos primeros ensayos figurativos, en los inicios de
la década de los 70, cuando ganó una Mención Especial en el Primer
Salón Estudiantil en 1972, su investigación plástica se encaminó hacia
el abstraccionismo geométrico y el arte conceptual.

Como poeta, manteniendo contacto con la poesía concreta y con
los poemas/proceso, produjo una serie de poemas visuales. Con un
estudio más riguroso del constructivismo y del arte conceptual, su
arte se desarrolla entre la geometría y el concepto. Diseños en blanco
y negro, objetos y proyectos de instalaciones, esencialmente
cerebrales, basados en un procedimiento primoroso de tratar cuestiones
prácticas y conceptuales, marcan la producción de este artista en la
segunda década de los 70.

Un escultor que trabaja con el color y con el espacio y un
pintor que medita sobre la forma, el trazo y el color en la pantalla.
El arte de Almandrade dialoga con ciertas referencias de la
modernidad, reinventando nuevas lecturas. Trabaja con un mínimo de
elementos pictóricos, dos o tres colores, dos planos, dos o tres
texturas, un trazo, etc. Algo creativo que menospreciamos a primera
vista, pero que cuando estamos inmersos en el clima que nos ofrece,
encontramos como algo nuevo. La simplicidad que predomina en las
composiciones despierta la imaginación y el raciocinio.

Su poesía también traduce ese principio de una poética de lo
mínimo y de la levedad. Pocas palabras, versos cortos y sueltos,
sintéticos, muchos sin títulos y sin adornos. Artista plástico, poeta
y arquitecto, Almandrade (Antônio Luiz M. Andrade) es un pionero de la
contemporaneidad en Bahía, pero sin el reconocimiento que merece su
trabajo. Como dijo en cierta ocasión el poeta Cleber Borges:
"Almandrade es uno de aquellos personajes aparentemente descolocados
en el espacio y en el tiempo, que parece caminar hacia un lado, cuando
el reloj insiste en avanzar hacia delante". Así es su poesía y su
arte.

Su arte y su poesía, para unos pocos, están siendo reconocidos
en Brasil y en el exterior. En 1997 participa de la antología
Internacional Poetry Review, con un poema traducido por el poeta
americano Steven White. Hoy, el arte y la poesía de Almandrade
representan el otro lado de Bahía y tiene como tema de reflexión el
propio arte y el estar en el mundo. Se destaca por la diferencia y por
una trayectoria singular. Como afirma el poeta Haroldo Cajazeira,
Almandrade, sin dejarse devorar por la provincia, produce con su arte
"un saber sobre la imposibilidad de consistencia de un sistema de
signos."

Almandrade:
Poetics of the lightness

By Nicolas Bernard

The work of Almandrade, both the painting and the
linguistic, has prevailed over all these years as a
place of reflection alone and apart from the cultural scene of
Bay. After a few early figurative trials, at the beginning of
the Decade of the 1970s, when he won a special mention in the first
Student Hall in 1972, his plastic research are directed towards
the geometric abstractionism, and conceptual art.

As a poet, while maintaining contact with the poetry specific and
the poems/process, produced a series of Visual poems. With a
more rigorous study of constructivism and conceptual art, their
art takes place between the geometry and the concept. Designs in white
and black, objects and facilities projects, essentially
brain, based on an exquisite procedural issues
practical and conceptual, mark the production of this artist in the
Second Decade of the 1970s.

A sculptor who works with the colour and the space and a
painter that meditates on the shape, the stroke and the color on the screen.
The art of Almandrade speaks with certain references in the
modernity, reinventing new readings. Works with a minimum of
pictorial elements, two or three colors, two levels, two or three
textures, a stroke, etc. Something creative that we menospreciamos to the first
view, but when we are engaged in the climate that offers
We find something new. The simplicity that predominates in the
compositions arouses the imagination and the intellect.

His poetry also reflects the principle of a poetic of the
minimum and the lightness. Few words, short and loose verses,
synthetic, many without titles and decorations. Artist, poet
and architect, Almandrade (Antônio Luiz M. Andrade) is a pioneer of the
contemporary Bay, but without the recognition it deserves your
work. As the poet Luxemburgo Borges once said:
"Almandrade is one of those seemingly misplaced characters"
in space and time, which seems to walk sideways, when
"the clock insists on moving forward." So is his poetry and his
art.

His art and his poetry, for a few, are being recognized
in Brazil and abroad. In 1997 he participates in the anthology
International Poetry Review, with a poem translated by the poet
American Steven White. Today, the art and poetry of Almandrade
they represent the other side of the Bay and has as a theme for reflection the
own art and being in the world. Stands out for the difference and
a unique experience. As the poet Haroldo Cajazeira
Almandrade, without being devour for the province, produces his art
"a knowledge about the impossibility of consistency of a system of"
"signs."

Alexander CALDER, famous birthday July 22, 2011

(Alexander Calder 1898 - 1976)

"Alexander Calder was born in 1898, the second child of artist parents—his father was a sculptor and his mother a painter... In 1976, he attended the opening of yet another retrospective of his work, Calder's Universe, at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Just a few weeks later, Calder died at the age of seventy-eight, ending the most prolific and innovative artistic career of the twentieth century. "

Thinking about Art from my Experience by ALMANDRADE

ALMANDRADE
Thinking about Art from my Experience
Man protects himself through language, but in art the language is the path that takes you to the unknown, where the artist thinks about images to inhabit the intimacy of the world.
To contemplate a work of art is to share knowledge, to take on a set of ideas that belong to a secret code, unveiled by the thought of a look. To answer its challenge, we are always imagining realities and references, that are not made up from definite readings. Each spectator reads what he wants to read, according to his own experiences, his repertoire and his cultural interests, resulting in definitions that are more or less close to the nature of the opus.
A work of art is never completely finished. It is always demanding new observations, as a result of the transformations in thought. Concepts will be added along the way, as if the act of observation itself gives rise to new knowledge and doubts regarding the object of art.

Sculpture, object, and setting
The images of levity and equilibrium invent themselves, dialectically, in the process of making something, and in the challenge that the hand and the mind goes through when dealing with matter, space and concepts. The feeling of levity reveals the effort of building, with a metaphor meaning flight, the poetry of the unexpected, the transition from disorder to order, relating reasoning and discerning.
Discreet and contradictory, the parts interact in a momentary (and lasting) rest. Matter coated with color results in a completely different reality, marked by tension, equilibrium, rhythm and the suggestion of space.

Drawing
To fill the surface of a sheet of paper until you come into contact with the depth of disorder, to inscribe and redefine emptiness. To diagram space and pursue a sense from a distance. The story behind the drawing and emotion. A treatise of semiotics that revolves around itself, objectifying a state of tension. The eye laughs, religiously, at the sensuality of mathematics. Silent writings, do not speak, show nothing. Parallel mirrors that repeat different images. Enigmas that are beyond perspective. Maps of geographical regions that cannot be located. Mirage, abyss, abstraction of absence.

Painting
Painting has become a form of canvas restoration. Behind the white surface, where hand and reasoning will come into action, live many shadows, forming an obscure landscape, hiding some of the conflicts of the visual world. The canvas is like an old blackboard, not so much black anymore, but gray. The chalk and the friction of the eraser left behind the scars of numerous scriptures. This is the canvas, a territory with traces of many inscriptions. To paint is to deal with the ghosts of painting, to excavate the density of a surface which looks white, in search of references to build a place, even if it is an unfinished place, to stimulate the reflections of the eye. Painting re-emerges from itself, allowing its dreams and wrinkles to appear, revealing doubts and imperfections, giving the invisible a form. Color and trace vibrate and question themselves as attributes of a support that shelters the staging of a painting.
