to 'adopt a dog? Here's what to know



Before you share your life with a faithful four-legged friend stopped to think about a few basics: The dog-

is always a big commitment and constantly, whereas the average age of a dog is about fifteen years, you care for them until the end, without neglect also when it is not quite a puppy and when he plays with age might get sick.

-There will be no Christmas or other holidays for you away from "your friend" with him because you share anche questi periodi.
Anche quando starai male dovrai occuparti di lui.

-Il cane ha bisogno di molta cura, ha bisogno di uscire almeno 3 volte al giorno , in questo modo anche un cane grande può stare in appartamento in quanto uscendo può correre, muoversi, e giocare abbastanza.

-Un requisito fondamentale per adottare un cane è avere molta pazienza.
Quando per la prima volta lo porterai a casa, per lui sarà un ambiente estraneo e se non si adatterà subito tu dovrai coccolarlo e farlo piano piano abituare alla nuova casa e alla nuova famiglia, ma contemporaneamente educarlo sempre con pazienza anche se alcune volte farà i suoi bisogni sul tappeto.....Questo significa amarlo!!!!

-During his first few outings, you have to be careful and munirti a leash or better than a bib, because it might get scared and run away at the slightest noise.

-If you're a guy who can not stand the hair on your jacket or pants on sbavatine not adopt a dog because this can happen.

-For the health of your dog you will listen to your vet about heartworm prevention for the lung-and pest (monthly).


also must have tattoo, microchip, pet tag bearing the phone number and address and be registered in the canine always be identified.


-The health of your dog depends for the most part on the quality of food and dose.
Meals are given 2 / 3 times a day (according to some vets a big meal a day), the power depends both on your availability (time-money) and its taste and the physical condition of your dog or pathological.

Since physical exertion may cause gastric torsion and be fatal, it is important to remember that walks and runs are made before meals or after at least 3 hours from them.
The dog is man's best friend, you are always close and understand your moods ....

Adottane one !!!!!!!!

Spidi Card Gloves Review



RE / SISTERS


Questo documentario nasce in risposta al primo, R/esistenze, sulle donne partigiane in Italia, una specie di passaggio della staffetta. Il primo l’ho perso e per poco non ho perso anche questo, rimasto in esposizione solo un paio di settimane, in una stanza del Museo della Resistenza dove il personale quando vedeva un visitatore veniva ad accendere il video – dalla pessima risoluzione audio.


Primi istanti di spaesamento. Ma se si riesce a mettere da parte l’insofferenza per gli obsoleti giochi di parole da embittered feminist (one for all, the title) and fitting do-it-yourself, the show has a lot to say. Or to suggest.


On the walls hang portraits of women who have fought, are fighting, not for abstract ideals but practical problems currently facing every day. War, disease, ecological, religious, political silence, sex discrimination. I knew some of them, often only their names, such as physics Vandana Shiva, an advocate of the ecofeminist, I knew the author of monocultures of the mind but we did not know the struggles for environmental protection and traditional knowledge in India is still open and the battle against the introduction of GMOs in India.

I knew that the mothers of the disappeared Argentines were formed in association Madres de Plaza de Mayo , but really did not know what their agenda. And I'm impressed. Marked faces of these women simple, any parent, that before the searing pain of the abduction, torture and cancellation of the existence of their children, they found the strength to fight the silence and take out each week, from April 30, 1977, in front the Casa Rosada, despite the silence of those who knew, intimidation and kidnapping and then murder of three founders. In these three decades, madres never stops and cafes have opened a literary una biblioteca, una università cooperativa, una videoteca, una casa editrice, e ora anche una stazione radio. Hanno visto riconosciuta la loro tragedia con ammissioni politiche e da mobilitazioni internazionali. Dicono che sono stati i loro figli, che non avevano paura di far sentire le loro voci, a farle rinascere.

Aminattou Haidar viene da un’altra parte del mondo, è sposata e ha due figli. Aminattou Haidar è il simbolo della lotta per la difesa dei diritti umani nei territori occupati del Sahara occidentale, violate dalle forze marocchine. Aminattou Haidar per la sua protesta pacifica ha subito incarcerazioni e torture. L’ultima volta, il 17 giugno 2005, è stata prelevata dall’ospedale where they were dressed the wounds inflicted by the Moroccan police during a peaceful demonstration in El Ayun. In the police station there was subjected to three days of interrogation in isolation, without food or medicines, then was transferred to the Carcel El Negro Ayoun where output is seven months later to resume his activism in favor of human rights and the Sahrawi.


This gallery of portraits, each with a dramatic story behind each one, and supported by the determination and courage is and must remain the face of no heroes or heroines, but of ordinary people, so ask questions and find answers is a normal process, daily.
If I think we live in Italy I can not but feel even stronger than thick bitter, sorrow and disgust with a political class that does the good and the bad times and whose flaws are covered by excuses programmatically so incredible as to be offensive to the intelligence of the citizens of the last . And no one is indignant. Many of these women come from developing countries, often have not had access to advanced education. We have master degrees and behind that we should have given the cultural tools to understand our time and get that rare gem that is the critical sense. And for what?

RICHARD ROGERS + ARCHITECTS
From the House to the City
24 aprile – 25 agosto
Design Museum - London


Richard Rogers with its modern, functional design and the numerous collaborations with the greatest architects of the twentieth century has left a deep mark in the history of British and world economy. At the Design Museum are on display his designs on paper and model, sometimes made, sometimes not, of buildings and architectural complexes, gathered around a range of issues: Public, Systems, Transparent, legible, Urban, Lightweight, Green. The result is an exhibition of dynamic, interactive and fun, even for non-experts.

The first proposal is to be the House Zip Up (1968-71), a prefabricated house in the shape of parallelepiped, quick to assemble with walls made of panels commonly used for the mini-truck (and therefore already produced for the general market) and with the same draft-proof windows that normally would go to the buses.
Richard Rogers and his wife wanted to get on a home that could easily be changed and that could adapt with the times and minimal cost, to the changing needs of its inhabitants. Given the abolition of fixed walls in favor of floating panels, the house could be bought in kit form, with the ability to add modules to existing. In addition to being innovative and functional, this project renewed dialogue between man and the environment because it was not the Zip House needs foundation but resting on supports of iron, could be built in the dreams of each niche.


At the end of the sixties began with Renzo Piano began a collaboration that will lead to the establishment of a Piano & Rogers "and the construction of what has been called the manifesto of high-tech, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris [in the exhibition section to the Public]. Born from scratch on site parking, the Centre intends to redevelop an area rarely lived in the city itself as an innovative cultural institution, dedicated to modern art but host a video library and a library of music, design and cinema.

area of \u200b\u200bthe exhibition is called Lightweight presented the draft of another colossal work has become a symbol of another capital: the Millennium Dome in London. With this project, Rogers did not intend to build a building that was almost bending over, but his plan to mobility and the "temporary nature" of life in the Third Millennium Dome has made his mind to the lightness, economy and speed of construction thus ensuring their survival for only 25 years. The monumental resistance becomes obsolete over time while the grandeur takes cheap clothes, and even in architecture, the time shortened e precari del capitalismo di oggi.

THE AMERICAN SCENE
fino al 7 settembre 2008

British Museum


L’aria di cambiamenti sociali, politici e culturali che ha percorso l'America del Novecento si lascia respirare e rivivere attraverso prints of the greatest engravers of the American century, beginning with John Sloan and the Ashcan School in New York and ending with the abstract expressionism of Jackson Pollock.
E 'urban realism Sloan opened the exhibition with a series of prints on a forgotten New York, on weekends when the roofs of the skyscrapers crowding of tenants who, lying on sheets and blankets, sunbathing ( Sunbathes on the Roof, Roofs, Summer Night, 1906).

common buildings, those who do not deign to look on the way to work, become the subject of many prints of Lawrence Kaupferman. The reversal of perspective is curious. The buildings and buildings ignored day after day are the protagonists of prints Kaupferman regaining solid solemnity to what was already there before I was born and there will be again when you have finished your time on earth. The human presence is rare in his work and, on the edge of the stage, are never anything more than the extras ( Boston Street).


The recordings of Edward Hopper and Martin Lewis have a different point of view and still want to recreate the thread of tension that surrounds the subject for a moment just before or after the occurrence of an event. The psychological insight, the disturbance, shall be made through a skilful use of light and contrasts between areas of complete darkness and other brightly lit. (M. Lewis, Little Penthouse , 1931)


And then modernism, the Depression, industrialization, World War II. Bringing about America. More and more people leave the big city to find livelihoods in rural areas. Thomas Hart Bentos, a teacher of Jackson Pollock, documents this time putting his art in the service of important social issues. Unemployment on the rise vertigionosa, the laborers who, after finishing distances of miles and miles looking for work fell exhausted, in the cold nights in the camps without shelter.

Adolf Dehn offers an image of America in the Thirties still different. E 'America, who plays jazz and dancing broke out and the premises of Haarlem. Couples of color are found in places where you play this new music genre that takes itself far echo of a distant, melancholy hard everyday but also the lightness of a smiling dance with knees bent, as in The Swing dance bands .

not to miss: the glamor of Martin Lewis immortalizes one morning in one of the main streets of London, probably in Oxford Street which, lit by the rising sun, a small army of women elegant nei loro cappotti dai colli di pelliccia cammina velocemente verso i department store dove lavorano. ( Quarter of Nine, Saturday’s children , 1929).

KEW GARDENS
Kew
London



"Botanical Garden" has a sound very unattractive, at least to my ears. And in the end a bit 'because of my green thumb a little bit' to inclement weather, for weeks I've blown away the thought of Kew Gardens each time peeping into my mind.


Then I won the inertia, we are gone, and now I can not wait to return. Because Kew is a world apart, which is accessed with a ticket and in which time is counted, but it remains a marvelous parallel world made up of endless gardens with grass so short as thick and soft, and flower beds everywhere.

Kew is a paradise of 121 acres with ponds, swans, squirrels and seven temples in the glass (some people call "glass", but the term is quite simplistic) that reconstruct microclimates suitable to host flower away.

The Temperate House (4.880 square meters.) And 'the largest glass structure has survived from the Victorian period. Iron painted white and glass on two floors, with a raised walkway that allows an unusual view from above. Plants also grow here Dick, from Central (Fuchs and Brugmansia for example), Australia and endangered plants, like Hibiscus iliiflorus from Rodrigues Island and Trochetiopsis erthroxylon from St. Helena, awaiting be reintegrated into their original environment. Temperate House is the pride of Palm Wine , coming from Chile, with its 16mt, is the largest greenhouse-grown plant and it seems to have no intention of stopping!

Another wonder is the Waterlily House, built in 1852 by Richard Turner, contains a large tub of water with different species of water lilies, from the European ones, Monet, to larger ones from Amazonia. These are exceptional, reaching one meter in diameter and are sturdy enough to withstand the weight of a child!.

Kew Botanical Gardens offer visitors a taste of the extraordinary biodiversity that exists in nature in the context of artificial beauty, but never annoying. Each glass, each area of \u200b\u200bthe garden enchants both specialists in the field that families leaving Sunday, indeed seems made just for children called The Evolution of the greenhouse House where, in an environment that is home to plants prehistoric (ferns and horsetails) and 'was added to a volcano that puffs with a lot of dinosaur footprints and wooden huts.

Walking through the gardens of azaleas and roses meet other halls in which there are exhibitions, shows and cultural events. At the end of April ended the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art, the first exhibition in the world dedicated exclusively to botanical drawings in which, next to the private collection of Sherwood, was exhibited for the first time the collection of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew Rated as one of the largest in the world of botanical art.


Not to miss:
Amorphophallus titanum
, herbaceous plant from the island of Sumatra, known to have the largest inflorescence of the plant world. Despite the strong smell of rot that emanates during the few days of flowering, crowds of onlookers flock to Kew to see this phenomenon that occurs only every three to four years.

FASCINATION WITH NATURE
British Museum London

Until September 27, 2008


A room of small size and light silks and soft home cards painted by Chinese artists with flowers, insects and birds. Apparently homogeneous and with the same repeating patterns in different situations in their singular uniqueness, each with its own meaning, discovered or hidden. Every flower, every element in the paintings carry a message.

The reason Prince is bamboo, a plant that thrives in China and is traditionally known for its versatility as a building material and its shape, thin and stately. The bamboo and decorations symbolize integrity and honesty - this very large grass bends during storms, but not burst.


From silk scroll Bamboo and Birds , dated 1618-1690, I discovered that painters specializing in high level in China in the painting of two, three subjects, or even one. The inscription on the silk in fact says that the design and 'the work of two masters: Sheng Zhu has painted bamboo, orchids and rocks while the artist called on, the red-headed birds.


The symbolic element in Chinese painting is rooted to the point that some Chinese artists of the twentieth century are tornati ai soggetti tradizionali e alla ricca simbologia che li accompagna, sperimentando tecniche e formati inedite. Ma anche i riferimenti sono stati rinnovati e se in passato i significati nascosti erano benaugurati, nel XX secolo spesso fiori frutti e insetti sottintendevano un messaggio politico.

E così anche innocenti passerotti come quelli di Huang Miazoi, Sparrows in snow , attraverso la poesia che accompagna il quadro, si traducono in un ammonimento socio-politico "il vento cambia spesso il tempo improvvisamente/ma non bisogna preoccuparsi".

Not to miss: Autumn Lotus Pond , Yang Yanping (b. 1934). The flowers are a purple off, stained with black and red iron ore, on a gray background, shyly lilac. The colors are subtle but profound made through a complex technique that sees the color filter from the back of the sheet with paper stretched or wrinkled.

ANGEL ART MARKET
all weekend
Angel - London


discovered a little 'by chance (offered me shelter from the shower out Station Angel) 's Angel Art Market and' market to a weekly recurrence where artists exhibit and several more are selling their works.

Apart from the entrance is under a makeshift tent of plastic, the Angel Art Market looks rustic but comfortable. Under the feet a little polished wooden floors and no furniture around if not the works themselves, piled on stands, hung on walls or on display on shelves precarious. All to the rhythm of the music of distant lands, a little 'samba a bit' Caribbean that heats the atmosphere and brings a ray of sunshine even in bagnatissima London.


The line with the ground-floor, loft upstairs and 'bare and spartan, with a partition a little' false that bisects the room with little conviction and without reaching the ceiling. Clusters of the stands along with colored objects and filling where and 'bare.


All ' Angel Art Market expose themselves to photographers and painters work, prints and jewelry, textiles, glass and ceramics. Last weekend there were the colorful prints Ben Quail , in which images, words and color patches overlapped and juxtaposed. And then Telerie and pillows (both pillows, bed that cushion, sofa) by Julie Kouame, with a taste for the combinations of colors and patterns.

One corner was devoted to necklaces, rings and other delicious trinkets of metal, wood or ceramic. In this section, I also saw the truly eye-catching necklaces made of leather cut into forms cirolari then joined together as to form a medallion. Too bad there were business cards or postcards on the stand that girl blackberry.


then turned the corner, a revelation! ceramics, pillows and fabrics mounted like paintings on wood and suppport on the wall of Nadia Sparham . With prints, applications and finishing done by hand. Small blacks stylized trees next to a black bird on a white ceramic. Cups of coffee 'with the same design of the dish that accompanies them. Mugs simple but not ordinary To invite no more than boiling water and a bag of tea.

The cups I let them, along with pillows and a necklace pink tulip. And I was wrong. But I kept them in touch.

ANDY WARHOL –THE NEW FACTORY
16 marzo – 6 luglio

Fondazione Magnani Rocca
Mamiano Traversetolo
Parma

Andrew Warhola, better known as Andy Warhol and is now home and for the next seven weeks to the Magnani Rocca Foundation. Walking through the austere halls of the permanent exhibition of the Foundation, is the siren song - Velvet Underground & Nico - to lead you into a parallel world, illuminated in pink pop.

Andy Warhol is one of those figures that I admire sincerely. I like him, his humble origins and the fact that non abbia rinunciato a seguire la sua cometa nonostante l'estrema ristrettezza di mezzi e la malattia che da bambino lo costrinse a letto per lunghi periodi. Mi piace che abbia continuato a credere nella sua idea demistificatrice di arte e del concetto di “pezzo unico”, considerando l’arte un prodotto, anche quando critici importanti lo definivano uno zero assoluto. Adoro la sua creatività divertente, ironica e irriverente e la versatile facilità con cui riusciva a passare dai libri di ricette impossibili, Wild Raspberries 1959, disegnati come se fossero illustrazioni per bambini, con torte giganti dai colori pastello e un breve testo, la ricetta, a lato. Apparentemente molto poco Warhol. Tutto cambia improvvisamente quando quasi per caso eyes linger on the recipe, and after a first look disoriented text you laugh, absolutely delusional ("take a basic sponge cake than three weeks old ..").


Some of Warhol's works have been carried out in silk screen with bright colors, even in spite of their content, often from the news stories. The series of screen prints entitled Electric Chair (1971) came the announcement of the death penalty imposed on spouses communists Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, accused of spying for the Soviet Union. This case struck and broke the American public and mobilized intellectuals and Communist artists from around the world. Warhol was shaken by the brutality of the event and even if the execution took place in 1953, he continued to work in later years, to create this series screen with an electric chair that stands in the hall of the executions, empty, of Sing Sing. The result is a sharp, eye-catching colored bruises yet, so striking a vision to become uncomfortable, annoying.


addition to chronicle the life of every day, made of mass-market products entering the homes of Americans, offered interesting ideas. It seems that the series of paintings that established him, that of Campbell's Soup, which was born from a suggestion apparentemente banale di un amico – perché non dipingi ciò che più ami?. E lui lo prese alla lettera consegnando all’immortalità una zuppa in lattina, che a detta sua aveva costituito il suo pranzo per la maggior parte della sua vita.


Ancora, nella mostra lunghe pareti espongono le serigrafie dei volti noti di una o due generazioni di star di Hollywood. Con colori flashanti si succedono, solo per citarne alcuni, Liz Taylor, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Mao Zedong, Mick Jagger, Marilyn Monroe realizzato un mese dopo la notizia del suo suicidio.


E poi, nel periodo della Factory di New York (1963-68) prolifico regista di film (In those five years created more than sixty film), always bold and often outrageous, certainly innovative.

It 'been called "The Mirror of Our Times" for those who chose to turn them into works of art and the approach which was placed against them. And 21 years after his death, still is, though perhaps "Our Times" today are less light-hearted, more cruel, certainly less colorful.

Not to miss: the series of albums that Andy Warhol was responsible for the cover, only to name a few: the famous banana peel from the album of the ambiguity and Nico Velvet Undergroung Featured zip Sticky Fingers (1971) The Rolling Stones.

Ringworm As Its Healing



FROM RUSSIA
January 26 to April 18
London

The Impressionists have really made history. Their names are pronounced with admiration of art even by those who do not intend to, but that he was dazzled by the gold of the sunflowers and the tenuous fragility of lilies.

influences that this revolutionary movement has generated not only in France but in the rest of the world and in this particular case in Russia, it is really about Russia poco.Della turn of the century is reminiscent of the February Revolution and then the d 'in October, the overthrow of the Tsarist regime, events so formidable as to leave little room for cultural change. But in Russia from the late nineteenth-early Nine were many who look to the West and the new artistic movements, both eyes of collectors, that of painters.

The first hints of renewal came even earlier, in the sixties of the nineteenth century, when a group of artists in St. Petersburg decided to emancipate the Imperial Academy of Arts, founded the company then known as The Wanderers. They rejected the biblical and mythological subjects from art to introduce Italian rather than scenes of daily life and snapshots of their contemporary Russian society, such as Ilya Repin, who painted October 17, 1905 and Leo Tolstoy barefoot .

Thirty years later the Muscovite Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morozowa formed, in fifteen years, two of the largest collections of French art. In particular, so Shchukin became Matisse's patron, which he bought and which commissioned many works on large canvases, as Dance . Since 1909 these two museums were open to the public and private Russian artists who had no opportunity to form in the spirit of Paris could still know the works of French artists through these collections.

This show is simply wonderful. And do not rule out returning to see her again soon. I consider it unique because it collects a espoizione authors and works geographically distant, belonging to different historical past, each of them approached by the witness of a particular current, never cancel but rather putting them in a culturally refined design. Gauguin, Matisse, Chagall, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Corot, Repin, Mashkov, Altman, Golovin, are all here.

Not to miss: Ida Rubinstein, the famous Russian ballerina who had shared the stage with the company Ballets Russes Diaghilev, portrayed here by Valentin Serov in a bare-shouldered. The face shot for three quarters, the lithe body and edgy at the same time. The look intense and focused as if it were a scene.

CAMDEN TOWN GROUP
13 Febbraio - 5 Maggio
Tate Britain
London

Il Camden Town Group nacque nel 1911 e si sviluppò in un momento intenso della storia inglese. Il nuovo secolo portò un'ondata di cambiamenti: a livello sociale con le incontenibili suffragette che richiedevano a gran voce il diritto di voto e la parità dei sessi; nel tessuto urbano con la modernizzazione dei trasporti che, nel giro di pochi anni, cambiò il volto di Londra. Carrozze e trasporti pubblici tirati horse disappeared rapidly (in 1914 there were only 1200 coconuts across London) first to give way to buses, cars and a symbol of the British capital, the subway.

The artists of the Camden Town Group and stood as witnesses to these changes and made the London theater of their paintings. The bright colors of a city 'on the move ( Piccadilly Circus, Charles Ginner, 1912), the dense and compact strokes closely recalls the influence of French post-impressionism. Van Gogh and the colors in the stretch, in the colors of the palette of Gauguin, Degas in the choice of unusual shots, evident in Gauguins and Connoisseurs at the Stattford Gallery Spencer Gore or The Naked and the Nude Walter Richard Sickert. In this painting from 1910, 'portrayed a young woman we see the naked body bent, as if it were committed in private as an everyday activity, but not the face. The cut chosen, the person who appears through a door left open as if by chance, give the viewer a strong sense of voyeurism.

This shows I enjoyed, but not passionate. If the resumption of post-impressionist style initially intrigued me, has come early to get tired. It seemed to me that their was a way to paint, but without adding nothing personal point of view of style. A little 'as if it were disguised as French English.

changing perspective, however, the works of the Camden Town Group instead become very interesting when you look at them as witnesses of an era. The views of London immortalized in their paintings show a different city so as to tighten the heart and return to a past that thought, though so far, is just around the corner.

CRANACH
Royal Academy of Arts

London

March 8 to June 8


Lucas Cranach il Vecchio, insieme a Dürer, è stato una delle maggiori personalità del Rinascimento Tedesco. E io lo trovo assolutamente affascinante.

Saranno i suoi nudi femminili, dai corpi allungati, di una grazia scomoda, poco levigata, tedesca ma al contempo intrigante, come Venus con occhi quasi a mandorla e lo sguardo accattivante. Pericoloso potere seduttore della donna.


I contatti tra i due maestri tedeschi sono provati e i rimandi a Dürer sono evidenti sia nei lavori incisori di Cranach che nei dipinti. L’esempio più noto è la Melancholia a cui both have tried to give a face. Cranach gave this strange disturbance in the features of being a young woman entered and broke it in the emerging Protestant iconography, making it an independent work of the previous Dürer. The measure of the distance between the two works is given by the group of witches that break and going crazy on the left side of the painting irreparably breaking the pensive stillness of space and time. The inactivity dictated by the state was unacceptable for the melancholic soul of Germany Saxon Protestant who hovered in the first century and Cranach, a personal friend of Luther and follower of the new faith, expressed unequivocally the conviction.

Cranach fascinates me the loyalty shown to the Elector of Saxony, his patron, then in exile and at the same time the independence of his unconventional profession. His personal connection to Luther, also sealed any formal act, the painter was the best man and godfather of the German reformer of his first child-did not prevent him from accepting commissions from major antagonist of Luther, Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, the most important man of the Church of the Holy Roman Empire, for which he made a series of portraits.

Lucas Cranach's work remains fortemente legata allo spirito della Riforma. Lavorando attivamente alla diffusione dei suoi temi e soggetti, diede una forte spinta alla creazione di una vera e propria iconografia per questa fede di rottura, il cui rapporto ambiguo con l’arte correva sul filo dell’iconoclastia. Alcuni dei suoi dipinti erano a sfondo moraleggiante, ma privi di pesantezza e anzi ricchi di quella ventata di rinnovamento che la Riforma aveva portato in tutta Europa. A sostegno del credo luterano Cranach dipinse il grottesco in una serie di quadri sui matrimoni male assortiti, e la duplicità della donna vista come esempio di fedeltà assoluta, come Lucrezia o come diavolo tentatore, come la Venus riccamente agghindata a cui accennavo prima.


The shape of this painter is rich and interesting landscape of the sixteenth century in German, of Wittenberg, the epicenter of the Reformation and beyond. The fame of his abilities as a portraitist crossed the threshold of the courtyard and quickly spread throughout Germany.


Absolutely beautiful landscapes as a backdrop to many of his paintings. Reminiscent of Dürer and Flemish for the wealth of detail, but do not be a mere sum of detail, while maintaining a vision overall balance and a teacher.

Not to miss: 1526, Adam and Eve , She lowers the branch with one hand and the other presents the forbidden fruit, looking at Adam with a seductive look, he with one hand on the apple, the other resting on his head, uncertain. We would like to trust his partner but at the same time, the smell of danger is strong. And we all know how it ended.

Trivia: The picture Cupid complains to Venus was part of Hitler's private collection. Now the National Gallery has launched an appeal for anyone with information to reconstruct the history and ownership of the work.

CRAZY FOR Banksy
until March 29
The Andipa Gallery
London


Who knows what he looks, who knows who he is, everyone knows that it is called .. Banksy . He, which marks the streets of London, Bristol, New York and Sydney with graffiti traits purposes, made with large stencils. Banksy's works are sharp satire with a political background (it's anti-war and anti-capitalist), cultural and ethical.

often portrays cops (lost in a passionate kiss gay, while terrifying instead of a smiley face under the helmet, brandishing a club and come forward almost a foretaste of the taste of the assault) and soldiers in war. Photographed in front of them coming in an 'image of ordinary violenza, anche solo accennata dai tratti crudi ed essenziali di stencil e bomboletta, fa davvero balzare agli occhi l’inutilità di quelle morti e quel sangue. E’ curioso come siamo ormai completamente anestetizzati di fronte ad immagini di brutalità inaudita passate alla televisione, mentre ancora ci fanno venire i brividi le stesse scene, solo presentate in un altro modo e magari viste in una galleria piuttosto che al solito telegiornale.

Anche ratti e il mondo animale (un elefante che trasporta una bomba sulla schiena), trovano spazio nei suoi graffiti. E bambini che se a volte sembrano trionfare sulla morte e sulle armi, altre sembrano solo spaesati, troppo piccoli per agire e non subire i giochi dei grandi. Alcune immagini are accompanied by a sentence, but most express your message in the non-verbal language, crude and ironic collection of Banksy.

The success of his work and had 'been enormous, and contentions and are now sold in auctions millions. Indeed, in February 2007, having sold a house on the wall where Banksy had passed, and being aware of the intention of the new owners to remove the wall, a pair of Bristol has turned the bid to a tunnel art. The song 'was sold as a mural with a house attached.

The Andipa Gallery exhibits his work these days too, curiously, in its two branches, to 19 and 162 Walton Street, Chelsea (with miles of files and bouncer!). It appears that Banksy does not like very initiatives. In this respect, his words carry that over to his opinion about his personality give an idea of \u200b\u200bcriticism.
What's with all the gallery shows?
None of the print and painting exhibitions in proper art galleries are anything to do with me, it's all stuff They bought previously. I only ever mount shows in warehouses or war zones or places full of live animals (I'm aware the pictures do not stand up on Their Own).


Not to miss: McDonald and Mickey Mouse holding hands smiling monsters Phan Thi Kim Phuc, the Vietnamese child star of Nick Ut's Vietnam Napalm photo, which won the 1972 Pulitzer.

SLEEPING & DREAMING WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD
November 29 to March 9
Wellcome Collection London



"We spend a third of our lives sleeping," and for me it is essential that third . Articulates the activities throughout the day, and even good humor.

the dark bursts creativity, but also the worst nightmares. One night in 1713, the violinist Giuseppe Tartini dreamed of a pact with the devil, just for fun, gave him his violin and the devil played the most exciting and complex melody that had ever heard. He woke up and got the violin tried to recreate it, then years passed and failed in an attempt to recapture the memory of a night. For Goya the darkness meant the sleep of reason and come to life by the human mind of fearsome monsters.

Before you slip into unconsciousness .. sang the Doors, but that strange state where you fall in the evening, you can really call unconsciousness? And yet, you can live without sleep? In the fifties the New York disc jockey Peter Tripp has defied every law of nature, and continuing to lead his radio program, broke all records of consecutive wakefulness: 201 hours. 8 days and a half. It seems that the state of hallucination caused by the prolonged lack of sleep had led to a growing paranoia and aggression, so that it is considered that the slope descending from the socket after his career is also due to side effects of that experiment.

As you can see the Wellcome Collection,
this question has re-emerged in every moment of human history and has emerged as a fundamental question in the last hundred years. The myth of male who does not need as fellow human beings seems to comes up at different times during the twentieth century. A poster of the thirties, the Weimar Republic shows a sleeping man, tormented by a devil green, angry, the tip of the finger and the other vehemently indicates the mountain of work to do. Another advertising image output in the March 1923 "Science and Invention," less violent but still disturbing, it shows an editor sitting comfortably on an office chair, surrounded by a bundle of electric current and with a tube to hand that at first glance looked like a cigarette. A great clock strikes three in the morning. Rightly charged with electricity and proper oxygenation of the good editor can easily work all night.

I smiled as I looked at the cover of this journal were thinking how naive the men of the twenties. Then I went home and I opened the newspaper online: Berlusconi after a night dedicated to defining the listings says "I did not touch the bed and climbed on stage at the Pala Lido to tear, in a fit of omnipotence, the program of the Democratic Party. Remember too closely said "the captain never sleeps." This myth of the extraordinarily gifted, he can win the fight that all the other men lost every-day needs of the sleep-continues to be put back in his, now we can say, embarrassing naivete. Before acting recklessly would be better to sleep on it. The night brings counsel, it seems.

Not to miss: sleeping and dreaming of Londoners during the bombing of London during World War II sought refuge between the tracks of the subway, closed for the emergency, including Aldwich and Holborn.

Deutsche Börse Photography Prize
8 February to 6 April 2008
The Photographers' Gallery London



The Photographers' Gallery has a fantastic location and an unusual floor plan. The gallery 'at 5 Great Newport Street, but also to no.8. The two buildings are not communicating with their neighbors and they are hosting the same shows, half here and half there. These days there are the works of the four finalists Deutsche Börse Photography Prize is awarded annually to the professional who, during the previous year, has made a major contribution to photography. This year the finalists are John Davies (UK), Jacob Holdt (Denmark), Esko Männikkö (Finland) and Fazal Sheikh (USA).

If I had any ranking staff, crowned John Davies and Jacob Holdt, a dead heat.
Davis exhibits large format photographs, many in black and white, mostly taken between 1979 and 2005. The subjects on which returns are the views of British towns and open spaces, some other desert towns. Places seemingly forgotten, but which lead topography in their signs of recent history, industrial and post-industrial in framed photos of short texts on the side.


Jacob Holdt also tells a story, that large minorities of color in America, and does so through a choice among the thousand pictures ... he has done in five years, now projected onto a wall, all taken by hitchhiker on a trip in the early seventies. The shots of Holdt remain impressed by their intimacy '. It 'been able to reconstruct the heat and passion between a pair of African American boys in a house bare, blind reliance on the protection of the guns of a white middle-class family and the absolute degradation of the bands lowest in the society. Holdt and 'managed to capture the essence of American society of the seventies, with its passions and its contradictions, understanding photography as a means to raise awareness of the extreme social and racial injustice that he had met on his journey.


A complaint Fazal Sheik touches instead a well-defined part of the contemporary Indian population: women. They are the faces of these girls, mature, which set the goal of putting them or shun him. They have all experienced dramatic episodes of violence unprecedented in a country where their lives count for nothing and where the ultrasound is used only to find in advance the sex of the unborn child and to provide early abortion in case it appears female. The stories told in the texts next to the pictures are still so painful that eventually absorb all the attention, putting the background in sharp pictures themselves.


Completely different is the attitude Photographic Esko Männikkö that hunting has become a photographer in the eighties. In his work carries with it the memory of open spaces and quiet isolation in which people and animals living in parts of Lapland and Finland. "I'ma photographer of fish, dogs and old men," he once said.


Not to miss: Agecroft Power Station, Salford (Davis 1983), a coal plant in 1925, then closed. Now the same site is occupied by HM Prison Forest Bank for prisoners of 18-20 years, who play football in the picture as their forms, tiny in front of the immensity of the plant, are lost in a lunar landscape.

COLAZIONE ALLA TATE


Non so se siete mai riusciti a fermarvi a Londra abbastanza for a long time to fully enjoy the privilege of joining the Tate Modern, but only for half an hour, the time to see a Rothko, then continue your walk on the Thames. I got used to so fast that I think I will struggle to do without it.

The tradition of free access to culture in Britain is long. The oldest museums (National Gallery, British Museum, Tate Britain) had been opened, the eighteenth and nineteenth century and then in the Victorian era, in order to contain and preserve the treasures that belonged to citizens, allowing them to enjoy it every time wishing to do so. too good to pass unscathed the dark days of history. A crackdown has in fact been given by the Iron Lady who imposed many museums the introduction of a ticket, an initiative that had a heavy impact on the number of visitors. The man was the turning point that Tony Blair before embarking on controversial policies, has had time to reopen the museum to a crowd not paying. The proposal was: abolition of the ticket for the permanent collections in exchange for tax breaks and government support in case of major expenses. And it worked. Today, most museums are free admission, along with a constellation of galleries and exhibition spaces. And all far from bankruptcy. The Tate Modern in spite of the astronomical costs of restructuring, has a budget surplus that makes frequent acquisitions.

Then there's a trick?
Moreover, there are three:
the maintenance of the tickets for temporary exhibitions, the presence of a well-stocked bookshop opening of adorable Cafe and Tearooms, in bright rooms, furnished in keeping with the style of the museum in they are inserted, but always with taste. Surrounded by a peaceful chatter, you can have a tea with a blueberry muffin or a slice of those delicious cakes beloved by the British. In larger museums, such as the British or the Victoria & Albert can even have a full meal, a Sunday lunch a bit 'different. There is restored by the stand of the exhibition will retrace mentally (and gently) works seen and then get back on path. Finally, the idea is good.

strategies to increase familiarity with art, museums and so on exist and have already been lapped. It would be nice that Italian museums are shaking off the dusty patina of boredom that sometimes surrounds them to once again become places to live, open to the public in the true sense of the word.

LIBERTY OF LONDON
London

Liberty is not a museum but as a museum is filled with the aura of quiet beauty that only a few places open to the public are able to keep.

Liberty of London is a department store, one of the first to be opened in the Victorian capital, "a bet winning business," says Roberto Bertinetti based "on two crucial elements: continuity and innovation in the intelligence in the choice of the place. " And so did the salesman when Arthur Lasenby Liberty in 1875, decided to open a shop of his own, convinced that they can change the taste of London in fashion and homewares.

It began with a small space at 218 Regent Street, offering fabrics, objects and furniture from Japan and China, who responded to that curiosity about the East that has influenced art and the taste of that period.

As the business flourished also the role of Arthur Liberty and turned from a seller with an eye for future trends, became the spokesman of the avant-garde movements that were saying: Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau . In particular, the alliance with the leaders of this movement led to seal the definition of "art nouveau" as a synonym for "Art Nouveau".

headquarters final department store was built in the twenties in the Tudor style, as designed by Edwin T. Hall. The store was built around three light wells onto which the galleries on each floor. Arthur Liberty wanted those who came to feel at home, wrapped in a cozy home atmosphere. The wood, which is the raw material with which this store was built, the natural light that filters through the glass ceiling and fireplaces in many rooms and present until some time ago on during the cold winter days, they could not create atmosphere cozy, serene and rarefied.

lost in the labyrinth of its rooms, then as now, you can feel that luxury sober which should not prove anything because it already has a meaning in itself, light years away from that other luxury, parvenu, who performs as noisy.

Not to miss:
flowers in a thousand shades and variations, fabrics for home and for the person.

HISTORY, PERIODS & STYLES -20th CENTURY
Victoria and Albert Museum
London


In quello che si dice essere il più grande museo al mondo di arte, artigianato e design, la galleria dedicata al Novecento del V&A ripercorre una storia del design attraverso quegli oggetti che più sono entrati e hanno lasciato un segno nelle case e nella vita degli inglesi. Questi articoli hanno aperto dialogo ancora vivace sui rapporti tra uomo e industrializzazione e su quello scambio reciproco di influenze tra la modernità che avanzando cambia la vita dell’uomo e le influenze che di rimando l’uomo esercita sul design. Il Novecento è il secolo in cui questo dibattito prende vita attraverso la voce, in Gran Bretagna e in America, del movimento Arts and Crafts, nato in reazione sia all’eclettismo stilistico dell’età vittoriana che alla spersonalizzazione indotta dalla produzione industriale. William Morris e i Preraffaelliti si ribellarono quindi all’impoverimento in fatto di qualità e di gusto nei prodotti industriali, che secondo loro dovevano avere anche un’altra feature: a low price. The question they raised and attempting to reconcile this conflict led to the birth of the design.

The twentieth century opened then the thrust of these profound cultural innovations which adds an even more important: the radio, a revolutionary tool for communication but also an object that has no antecedents and for which it is necessary to invent a form from scratch. Accomplice to the radio change the style of life, especially in cities, where people no longer recognize in ages past try a new style, which takes in fitting out the ways of multi-functionality and open-space and life becomes relaxed tone.


The design of the forties and fifties bears the signs of war and rationing of raw materials. The test to be overcome is not losing ground in front of the depletion of potential buyers and at the same time respect the strong limitations imposed by the Department of Commerce to the production of fabrics. The fabric could be printed only small reasons, so do not waste fabric in the seams, with only four colors were available and both types the amount of cotton which was to be used were subject to strict controls.


The Sixties sweep away all restrictions and indeed represent a time of great flowering of advertising design. Here comes the Mini, the first car that every Englishman can afford and takes off the design for the home, in everyday objects, from the plates, the first deltaphones, to the stylish lamps. Nothing can be subtracted in this process, nor is a typical British mug. The design takes weight and ends up into that great game that is politics, becoming an extremely effective communication tool that is used for various reasons, from posters against the isolation caused by fear of HIV in the eighties, up to a mug of that period ever made by the small Kent Miners' Union that was not to be swept away by the strikes of 1984 Tatcherism.

The volume of the fields in which artistic design is applied is left increasingly. However, in parallel, has also developed an awareness of design that, under pressure from consumers, the spokesman of environmental targeting in the mid-sixties sull'ecosotenibile with paper clothes, funny dresses in bright floral patterns , and even more in the nineties siding under the ideological banner of recycling.

Not to miss: the desk of the British Mauf made by Edward W. Rowcliffe, whose shapes recall traditional desks clean, but if combined with a processing and manufacturing of high quality materials are transformed into something never seen it before and I dedicate the gold medal winner at the Paris Expo of 1925.
