2amiciti by Matteo Peterlini




"2amici is the synthesis of a journey and it is at the same time the tale of two people and their relationship. A thread connects their existence while the event tends to separate them.The composition shows a superposition of two identical shirts that natural forces - the wind - tend to differentiate.”
The simplicity of this visual metaphor and winsome photography made… my heart ache ;)

Will You Take Me As I Am


A new book on Joni entitled Will You Take Me As I Am will be released on April 7, 2009.
I know quite a lot about her as this is one of the artists I relate to the most but still can't wait to read it! It's her lyrics that made me appreciate sang word in English and her words are my thoughts already there written between the sounds of blue.

Abelardo Morell






Abelardo Morell with his Camera Obscura photographs reminds us that photography is more about how we see than the tools we use to create it.
Here I chose few that really took my breath away...

In-I


Despite having no time I have to tell you.
At last I managed to buy a ticket for In-I. The new contemporary dance theatre piece co-created, performed and directed by French actress Juliette Binoche and dancer and choreographer Akram Khan, with visual design by Anish Kapoor (great treat!)
This piece had its premiere in July 2008 in National Theatre, London. Now it will be performed in Curve in Leicester (5th-7th Feb).
By the way, this theatre was designed by Rafael Viniola.
Worth a visit!

My Motto for 2009


'The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.'

Vienna


My visit was brief but managed to see few exhibitions in Museum Quarter. To be more precise we went to see Museum of Modern Art and Leopold Museum, both buildings were designed by Austrian architects Laurids and Manfred Ortner. I'm sure most of you know them as they've been published in many magazines.
In MUMOK we saw an intersting exhibition Mind Expanders - Performative Bodies - Utopian Architecture. Worth seeing although we found it not coherent enough. Then I visited Leopold Museum with their impressinve collection of Klimt and Schielle. The big discovery though was Alfons Wlade, I was lucky to get the catalog from his exhibition that took place there last year.
One more time, big thank you for everyone I met at the New Year's Eve party, your welcoming and hospitality but most of all for great fun! :)
