    Textile Rebellion

    July 29, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Nietenbesetzte Lederjacken, neonfarbener Irokesenschnitt, tätowierte Haut und Sicherheitsnadeln an allen möglichen und unmöglichen Körperstellen. Wohl eines der geläufigsten Stereotype, das wir mit Punk assoziieren. An die vierzig Jahre ist es mittlerweile her, seit der Journalist Legs McNeil die Hausmauern in Downtown New York mit Plakaten tapezierte, auf denen er ankündigte „Watch Out! Punk is coming!“. Doch noch immer ist die Enstehungsgeschichte, vor allem aber die Bedeutung des Punk umstritten. Handelt es sich dabei um eine Musikbewegung? Ist es eine Jugendkultur? Oder aber liegen die Wurzeln des Punk in einer politisch motivierten Rebellion gegen das gesellschaftliche System der 1970er Jahre? Und wer hat den Punk eigentlich erfunden? War es Sex Pistols-Manager…

    Die Linse als Zeitzeuge

    July 24, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Nackt, das Gesicht verzerrt von Schmerz, voller Todesangst: wohl kaum ein anderes Bild verdeutlicht die Schrecken des Vietnamkrieges so eindrucksvoll wie das Foto, das die neunjährige Phan Thi Kim Phúc zeigt, wie sie 1972 in Trang Bang, einem Dorf unweit von Saigon, vor einem Napalm-Luftangriff flieht. Die Fotografie verbreitete sich rasch um die ganze Welt und machte das Mädchen zur Ikone des Vietnamkrieges. Rund zehn Jahre zuvor ging Malcolm Brownes schockierende Aufnahme eines brennenden vietnamesischen Mönchs ins kollektive Bildgedächtnis der Menschheit ein – als Manifest für die Auflehnung gegen die Unterdrückung eines Volkes und als Symbol gegen die Instrumentalisierung von Individuen zugunsten der Erreichung eines höheren Ziels. Selbst der damalige…

    Swagga like Us

    July 19, 2013 / 0 Comments

    When T.I. and Jay-Z sang about their unmatched amount of swagga in “Swagga like Us”*, I don’t think they imagined that John Singer Sargent’s niece Rose-Marie Ormond is also known for swagger. Swagger, or grand manner, is used for paintings that suggest noble qualities through visual metaphors, and Sargent is especially known for his swagger portraits. One of his many swagger portraits is The Cashmere Shawl featuring his niece Rose-Marie.

    L’art et la bataille

    June 26, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Sans avoir jamais posé la question à qui que ce soit, je suis convaincue qu’un certain nombre de personnes vous diront que lorsqu’ils pensent guerre, ils ne pensent pas du tout art, n’en déplaise à la formule de Sun Tzu. Moi je vous dirais qu’au contraire, c’est peut-être un des premiers liens que ferait mon cerveau un chouïa conditionné par l’histoire de l’art – qui nous raconte indéfiniment comment l’histoire, donc, est liée à la pratique artistique, et comment de tous temps les guerres ont eu un impact parfois dramatique et souvent fabuleux, sur les coups de crayon, de pinceau et de burin. Il n’y a pas si longtemps, la…

    Do not judge a building by its façade.

    June 25, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Public housing has a rather negative image – initially associated with slums and poverty, these areas were (and still generally are) avoided by middle to upper income citizens. Whether in fear of catching starvation, encountering violence, or simply being disturbed to see how the other half really lives, public housing venues are the last place you would find the “well-to-do”. However, this sort of housing can actually be quite nice, and some countries are incorporating it into their city schemes for the entire population, not just the poor, huddled masses.

    ALWAYS Win the War

    June 17, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Now, I’m not one to try and court controversy, but it has occurred to me that the act of war is just good business (for the winners anyway). Let’s take war crimes, death tolls, injuries, post-traumatic stress, and dubious reasons for inciting wars out of the equation for a moment. Instead, look at the opening up of jobs in the military forces. This means that unemployment figures go down, levels of education go up (excellent military and civilian training is provided in all manner of subjects), nationwide happiness is on the up (again, primarily for the winning side), and if we stick to the “to the victor the spoils” philosophy…

    Rad fads & turbulent times

    We might all be able to agree that most of the world is a mess. The Americas and Europe have taken a ginormous step back in terms of production, innovation, and general flourishing. Many of our nations and states are in obscene debt which appears to be stagnant or rising and there is no end in sight. So then, what should be next? Vampires and Zombies aren’t getting us anywhere

    Weniger ist Mehr?

    Michelangelo hat seine weltberühmte David-Skulptur aus einem einzigen Block Carrara-Marmor geschlagen. Als er gefragt wurde, wie er dabei vorgegangen sei, soll er geantwortet haben: „Ganz einfach: Ich habe alles weggeschlagen, was nicht David war.“ Das Überflüssige wegnehmen, möglichst alles auf das Wesentliche reduzieren: Dies scheint eine sinnvolle Empfehlung für viele Lebensbereiche zu sein, ganz egal ob es sich dabei um Schminke, den eigenen Satzbau oder die Innengestaltung des neuen Badezimmers handelt. Doch wo beginnt überflüssiger Luxus und was ist ein nettes Extra? Wo fängt der Kitsch an und was ist ein Klassiker? Gerade im Zusammenhang mit Designobjekten stellt sich oft die Frage: Ist das nun Kunst oder kann das weg?

    I have to admit, that despite my degree, I am not much of a news junkie. I found the news in the US entirely too depressing – as they rarely report the whole story or about anything that is worthy of the attention it is given. Seriously guys? The whole nation needs to be let in on the (what will sooner than later be considered an itty-bitty) scandal at Rutgers? Move on; leave Rutgers alone; it’s not relevant to anyone that wasn’t in that video. ::exits THAT soap box:: So, when the grapevine informed me

    Scarpe, servo delle mie brame, siete le più belle

    March 25, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Non è una novità che alla major parte delle donne piacciono le scarpe. Rappresentano per noi, ragazze,  una specie di gioielli che si scelgono secondo il vestito portato. Le scarpe hanno una dimenzione estetica essentiale e accentuano il glamour. Chi, all’esempio di Carrie Bradshaw non ha mai sognato di poter avere un bellissimo dressing pieno di scarpe ? Chi, non ha mai passato una serata sofferendo di male di piede incredibile perché le sue scarpe non erano comode pero … erano belle ? A me piacciono particolarmente i tacchi e le sandale d’estate. Perché ? I tacchi mi rendono più alta, mi stendono la  “silhouette” e  le gambe e sono…
