    Don’t Punk with Me

    July 11, 2013 / 0 Comments

    During my middle school days, I donned black jeans, mid-calf black combat boots, a Ramones T-shirt from Hot Topic, and a studded belt. Thanks to the growing fame of Good Charlotte and Green Day coupled with our young, impressionable minds, everyone at my school flocked the racks of Hot Topic (a rock-inspired clothing store) searching for the Punk look. And as trends go, when a newer, cooler style appeared, we discarded our punk attire and jumped onto the latest bandwagon. But not everyone is as fickle as my classmates or me. For the true punkers, clothing and music are the mediums through which they express their individual freedom and anti-establishments…

    «Dejad que vea si mi pie entra en ella»

    April 11, 2013 / 0 Comments

    A veces, parece acertado definir el paso a la edad adulta como una sucesión de mitos despatarrados: narraciones maravillosas que asimilamos en la infancia y cuya falsedad se nos hace evidente con los años. Descubrimos, por ejemplo, que (¡atención, niños!) son las macetas del salón y no los camellos de los Reyes Magos las que se beben el agua que dejamos junto a la chimenea en la víspera la Epifanía, que los ratones no tienen el más mínimo interés por nuestros dientes de leche, que el príncipe encantador nunca llegará montado en su blanco corcel (es más, parece que la realeza sale un poco rana últimamente) y que la Luna…

    Plain Jane or Fancy Pants?

    March 14, 2013 / 0 Comments

    I’m a rather plain girl in the sense of THINGS. Function beats form any day as far as I’m concerned (this, of course, excludes a previous post concerning my unhealthy affinity for shoes), ensuring that I will never be counted amongst the infamous and (for unknown reasons) publicised “Gold Diggers” of the world, which is surely a very real concern for any young woman of the 21st century. It took me ages to switch over to the “smart” phone, which only lasted about a year; as soon as it was possible I reverted back to a “dumb” phone – as long as it calls, texts, does math (because I can’t),…

    Warhol, peintre démocrate ?

    November 13, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Andy Warhol est sans doute le peintre qui symbolise le plus l’art américain aux yeux des Européens. Aujourd’hui Barack Obama est devenu le symbole de l’Amérique contemporaine. Comment s’empêcher de leur trouver des points communs ? Obama, président démocrate tout juste réélu, proche du peuple et issu des minorités sociales. Warhol, fils d’émigrés d’Europe de l’est, maladif et isolé par la société étant enfant. Leurs origines sociales ne leur promettaient pas forcément un bel avenir, mais tous deux sont parvenus à incarner le rêve américain. Warhol possède deux facettes qui auraient sans doute fait de lui le « peintre officiel » de la victoire d’Obama. Avec ses boîtes de soupe pas chère, ses…

    Warhol, un estratega de la imagen

    October 16, 2012 / 0 Comments

    ¿Qué tienen en común Miguel Ángel, Rafael, Marcel Duchamp, Hopper, Alberto Durero, Leonardo da Vinci, Alphonse Mucha, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Velázquez, Renoir y J. M. W. Turner, entre otros? Todos ellos han sido clasificados como «el artista más influyente» de un período histórico, de un movimiento, de un grupo artístico, de un país… No obstante, parece que ya se han cubierto todas las categorías posibles y los genios revolucionarios pululan de tal forma que cada vez se deben acotar más los radios de influencia. Así, la nueva exposición del MET, «Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years», nos plantea la pregunta de si Andy Warhol fue el artista más influyente del último…

    Fifteen Minutes of Fame

    October 16, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Andy Warhol is easily one of the most interesting people to have ever lived. I say this having known next to nothing about him other than his over-exposed, colourful reproductions of 1960s-1980s popular culture, all of which I found excessive, superficial, and ridiculous, up until two hours ago. But wasn’t that essentially his intention, to explore popular culture? Spending most of his time at home as a young child and teenager, Warhol listened to the radio (and the adverts) and collected photos of film stars; he was greatly influenced by the growing popular culture of the 1950s. Starting his career as a commercial illustrator should come as no surprise to…

    ¿Quién lo «desconstantinopolizó»?

    June 19, 2012 / 0 Comments

    ¿Quién no ha recitado alguna vez aquello de: «El rey de Constantinopla está constantinopolizado. ¿Quién lo desconstantinopolizará? El desconstantinopolizador que lo desconstantinopolizare, buen desconstantinopolizador será»? Aparte de un buen recurso para los trabalenguas, Constantinopla, actual Estambul turca y antigua Bizancio griega, fue la flamante capital del Imperio bizantino, superviviente de la caída del Imperio romano de Occidente. En el siglo VII, este imperio, que se llamó «griego» en referencia a la predominancia de esta lengua y se convirtió en un verdadero bastión del cristianismo, se extendía desde Siria hasta Egipto y por algunas regiones del norte de África. No obstante, en apenas unos siglos, las provincias del sur de Asia…
