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.

Not to miss: cards too human to human Simon that sting con il sorriso.

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.
