Sample Speech For Company Anniversary




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.
