ALEXA CUESTA FLOREZ: OBRA BIDIMENSIONAL (RETROSPECTIVA)

14 Jan 2021 – 10 Feb 2021

ALEXA CUESTA FLOREZ: OBRA BIDIMENSIONAL (RETROSPECTIVA) Presentamos un recorrido virtual a través de la obra pictórica iniciática de la artista plástica cartagenera (1970) a lo largo de más de dos décadas de trabajo, en la cual se plantea un análisis desde sus primeras manifestaciones estéticas haciendo evidente la apuesta meramente formal (recordemos su formación como arquitecta y por lo tanto vemos el juego con la geometrización), dejándose llevar por la expresión experimental con una inusual confrontación entre diversos materiales rozando el ensamblaje hasta la presencia de una multiplicidad de materia orgánica (aserrín, hojas, arena de mar,etc) los cuales se diluyen con los aglutinantes y pigmentos naturales logrando una rica paleta de tonos tierra por la utilización de polvos minerales. La apuesta visual al final se carga de simbolismos y anécdotas personales. Su obra bidimensional la dividimos en dos partes: Parte 1. EXPERIMENTO FORMAL = EXPRESIONISMO ABSTRACTO. - 'Obra experimental' (1993) Especie de ensamblajes realizados en diversos materiales desechados por la sociedad. La artista, desde sus primeras manifestaciones en la escuela de formación logra expresar un interés critico hacia el medio ambiente y los factores que lo comprometen en la eliminación de objetos inutilizados después del consumo, una exploración multisensorial que se basa en colores planos y formas geométricas irrumpidas con formas orgánicas. - Serie 'Abstractos I' (1994-1995) Para esta serie vemos profundizada la propuesta de la técnica del acrílico con su aglutinante (AC33), junto a la utilización de polvos minerales y demás materiales que brindan a la artista un mayor espectro de posibilidades estéticas y una añorada búsqueda de movimiento al momento de crear escenarios donde se da la consolidación de vivencias personales y un lenguaje abstracto enriquecido en tonalidades tierras, realizado en un formato mediano, teniendo soporte el cartón prensado, lo cual hace ver como si fueran ejercicios pero de gran calidad pictórica. - 'Mural para Bogotá' (1999) Mediante el concurso ARTE PARA LA CIUDAD en la capital del país, la artista gana su premio- bolsa de trabajo para realizar el mural “Un mar para Bogotá” de 8,0 m x 32 m. La obra totalmente expresionista y abstracta cubrió la fachada lateral de la escuela comunitaria Villa Suaita en Bosa, justo la que da al Río Tunjuelito, quizás uno de los más contaminados del país. Resulta interesante el contraste que logra mostrar la artista mediante la creación de ese mar desbordado con sus tonos azules y aguamarinas intactos, junto al rio que ha perdido toda su vitalidad y fuerza debido al descuido humano. En esta obra queda una vez más plasmada la necesidad de la artista de devolverle al agua sus principales características, color, fuerza y espacio y, a su vez dejar sentada una crítica frente a la grave contaminación de estos cuerpos de agua. - Serie S/T Costa (2005) El movimiento del agua vuelve hacer protagonista en la obra, pero esta vez en la técnica del dibujo; las líneas realizadas en bolígrafo y marcadores configuran un paisaje desértico rodeado de agua turbulenta, acantilados y elementos metálicos, rígidos, quizás desechos de construcciones que quedan a la orilla de ese mar embravecido. Estos elementos se ven absorbidos, quizás destruidos, por esta fuerza desbordante y líquida elaborada en tonos lilas y azules. Las realidades se vuelven a subvertir para mostrarnos la vitalidad de este elemento. Parte 2. ABSTRACCIÓN Y CONCEPTO: PENSAMIENTOS LÍQUIDOS. - Serie “Abstractos II” (1996-1997) En esta serie vemos consolidada la propuesta que planteaba la artista en la serie 'Abstractos I' (1995), las pinturas pasan a ser de gran formato al sentirse más segura del manejo del espacio, las obras se cargan, esta vez de un concepto donde la materialidad pasa a un segundo plano al poder apreciar dos estructuras en conflicto a manera de doble personalidad de la artista en tensión. Por un lado, presente en la arquitectura rígida y geométrica y del otro lado las formas orgánicas, diluidas y espontáneas,una forma ovoide, algo muy personal que la artista relaciona con lo no-nato, pero es atacado por las estructuras; lo que comienza a generar una serie de sensaciones que conforman un lenguaje propio, turbulento y dinámico, queriendo trasladar a los espectadores este enfrentamiento. - “Libreta de artista” (1995) se trata de un método secuencial que utiliza la artista para afirmar sus pensamientos estéticos de forma instantánea. Una libreta de apuntes de 20x25cm se convierte en el registro visual de expresiones y experimentaciones con los remanentes de las pinturas de gran formato, volviendo por lo tanto la composición formal, la solidez en la expresión y organicidad en la pincelada y la composición entre las dos estructuras enfrentadas. - Serie “Pensamientos líquidos” (2002) En esta apuesta visual un nuevo aspectoaparece en la obra pictórica de la artista, el sentido crítico. El giro hacia el pensamiento reflexivo sobre una situación que la viene inquietando desde el proyecto “Un mar para Bogotá”, lo que piensa la artista sobre el papel que tiene la cultura occidental ante el debido manejo del agua, ahora acudiendo a la figuración y la mímesis, pinta instrumentos contenedores como baldes que se tiran el agua uno frente al otro 'Tribunal de las aguas' 2002, llaves de paso ante una rotura de un tubo de agua 'Fully Drop Forget' 2002, tapas de registro de las empresas que proveen los servicios de agua en la ciudad de Barcelona 'Mansas' 2002, lavadoras de un edificio “ Gloria 6-22” Tuberías desbordadas de agua, etc. Esta serie fue realizada una vez la artista se encontraba en la diáspora y no duda en hacer esta relación entre la utilización del preciado líquido, su manejo y cuidado en un país supuestamente desarrollado. Serie “Siete Motivos Para Una Obra Hidrocrítica” (2005) Nace de una reflexión profunda frente al mal manejo de las aguas, su consumo diario y su explotación en Cartagena. Como ya lo venía haciendo en otras obras instalativas de principios de siglo XXI la artista busca contrastar dos realidades para generar una reflexión frente al uso desmedido del preciado líquido, y a su vez dejar en claro una crítica sociocultural, para ello recurre a la utilización de personajes del pasado que se relacionan directamente con aguateros y aguateras en la historia del arte, en especial con Chagall, Goya, Moritz, Goldberg, Jeff Koons, las cuales al situarlas en un contexto contrario y actualizado en collage digitales, donde los caños y zonas lacustres con agua putrefacta son fotografiados directamente por la artista, luego las interviene para generar un choque estético y crudo que permite la reflexión final.

Jerry Hardesty

Escape

The year 2020 mustered ubiquitous thoughts of doubt, and questions of mortality. It seems life, as we knew it, had been spiraling downward or backward and hijacking the universe of the belief in existence. It may never be the same. 'Escape' represents Jerry Hardesty's explorations into his subconscious as he grapples with his own skepticism. Challenges must be faced with freedom from fear of loss and replaced with hugs and handshakes. Hope is on the horizon as tears are left behind and families and friends gather once again with laughter and compassion. From the light-heartedness of Hardesty's paintings 'Can't Forget the Lyrics' to the depth of 'Seeking Light,' hope is the future. Jerry Hardesty retired from a corporate career to life as an abstract painter. He lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with his wife. They have one daughter, two sons, six grandkids and one great grandson.

SVOBODA v OSTRAVĚ

01 Feb 2021 – 01 Mar 2021

Josef Svoboda svým přístupem ke scénografii a řadou inovací a patentů zásadně ovlivnil podobu divadla své doby. Jako první použil v divadle laser, vymyslel světelnou stěnu i speciální světla, která nesou po celém světě jeho jméno: „Svoboda“. V Národním divadle už od 50. let spolu s režiséry Otomarem Krejčou, Alfrédem Radokem, Miroslavem Macháčkem a Jaromírem Pleskotem formoval proslulou epochu českého divadla. Realizoval doma i ve světě na 700 divadelních inscenací, stál u zrodu divadelního fenoménu Laterny magiky, prezentované na mezinárodní výstavě EXPO 58, proslavil se spoluprací s Metropolitní operou v New Yorku i světovými velikány Laurencem Olivierem či Leonardem Bernsteinem. Nemalou část své divadelní tvorby věnoval i Národnímu divadlu moravskoslezskému, dříve Státnímu divadlu v Ostravě, pro něž vytvořil v letech 1946 až 1961 výpravu k sedmnácti operním inscenacím, na kterých téměř výhradně spolupracoval s režisérem Bohumilem Hrdličkou (1919–2006). Právě ostravskou část Svobodovy scénografické tvorby představí speciální on-line výstava.

The Call of Trains: Railroad Photographs by Jim Shaughnessy

Shaughnessy and a small crew of his colleagues distinguished themselves from other railroad photographers of their generation by starting to think more photographically, exploring the camera’s potential more creatively. Collectively, and with the support and encouragement of then-Trains editor David P. Morgan, they blasted through the calcified bedrock of the three-quarter, wedge-shot tradition, developing a new visual language for railroad photography that in the 1950s found its way, slowly but surely, into the railfan print media. Because of these innovations, railroad pictures were lifted into the realm of art for the first time, warranting different consideration by photographers, editors, and the public. As part of this advance guard, Shaughnessy made conscious decisions to see beyond trains, embracing the “ugly beauty” of industrial environments. This decision set him apart from most amateur photographers of the day. Despite his unusual status, Shaughnessy forged ahead, relying on intuition and passion. He buoyed himself and his craft with a healthy dose of self-reliance coupled to an inner drive that bordered on, and even crossed over into, obsession. His aesthetic choices demonstrated the desire to include the human element, the desire to place trains and locomotives in a broader context, and the desire to explore the railroad after dark. This man from Troy, New York, was a germinating force within the school of American train photography that was taking root in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Shaughnessy’s depictions of America’s railroad culture within the urban townscapes, cities and rural topographies of the Northeast helped provide others with new visions. His content-filled compositions capture a sense of place and a sense of time, describing in well-observed moments how the engines, railroaders, terminals, yards, station architecture, geography and landscape looked. Jim Shaughnessy (1933–2018) was an astute historian who bears witness to perhaps the most dynamic epoch of American transportation. He photographed in a region of the country that had more railroad companies operating per square mile than any other part of the nation. Both big systems and one-engine-on-the-roster wonders operated with esoteric equipment and inspired fabled stories. He covered them all exhaustively, with affection and without pretense. His deep connection to this past vividly brings it into the present, helping us realize the true importance of his work. His images are valuable documents that broaden our understanding of railroading’s visual culture at mid-century, successfully linking all who see them to railroading’s past in a way that only photographs can. The Center produced 'The Call of Trains: Railroad Photographs by Jim Shaughnessy' in conjunction with the book of same title by Shaughnessy and Jeff Brouws (W.W. Norton, 2008). *Previous Venues* Steamtown National Historic Site, Scranton, Pennsylvania, August 27, 2018 to November 27, 2018 National Railroad Hall of Fame, Galesburg, Illinois, summer 2017 to summer 2018 Oliver B.

Hideaki Yamanobe.. on paper

17 Jan 2021 – 21 Feb 2021

Wir freuen uns, eine neu konzipierte Reihe kuratierter Online-Ausstellungen mit Arbeiten unserer Galerie-Künstler vorzustellen. Parallel zu unserem regulären Offline-Programm in der Galerie setzen wir hiermit den Fokus auf seltener gezeigte oder auch ältere Arbeiten. Zum Auftakt präsentieren wir ausgewählte Arbeiten auf Papier von Hideaki Yamanobe. Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Zeichnung, Collage und Malerei gibt der japanische Künstler vor allem in seinen Papierarbeiten dem gegenständliche Element größeres Gewicht und bricht mit den für ihn charakteristischen, auf Schwarz und Weiß aufbauenden Farbschichten. Seriell angelegt – wie auch bei seinen Arbeiten auf Leinwand spiegeln die Werktitel Variationen und Weiterentwicklungen einer Motiv-Idee wider – spricht Yamanobe in seinen Kompositionen auf Papier dem Malgrund besondere Bedeutung zu. Im Gegensatz zu seinen Leinwänden, bei denen die Ränder betont werden, spielt der Künstler hier mit dem Platz, der Leere um das meist zentriert gesetzte Motiv herum: Das Material „Papier“ – Bütten oder fester Zeichenkarton – wird als eine Art Rahmen integraler Teil des Werkes. __________ We are pleased to introduce a newly conceived series of curated online exhibitions of works by our gallery artists. Parallel to our regular offline programme in the gallery, we are focusing on rarely shown or older works. To start with, we present selected works on paper by Hideaki Yamanobe. In the field of tension between drawing, collage and painting, the Japanese artist gives greater weight to the representational element, especially in his works on paper, and breaks with his characteristic layers of colour based on black and white. In his serially created compositions on paper – as in his paintings on canvas, the titles of the works reflect variations and further developments of a motif idea – Yamanobe assigns special importance to the painting ground. In contrast to his canvases, where the edges are emphasised, here the artist plays with the space, the emptiness around the mostly centred motif: The material 'paper' – handmade paper or solid drawing cardboard – becomes an integral part of the work as a kind of frame.

Euro 2020 could be the most stylish tournament yet if these new kits are anything to go by..

The Toe Poke Daily is here every day to bring you all the weirdest stories, quirkiest viral content and top trolling that the internet has to offer, all in one place.

Jump to: Guardiola and Klopp both could have been happier at final whistle | Leicester celebrations channel The Lion King in Arsenal win | Mourinho's worries crack up Chelsea coach | Giant holographic lion raises bar for stadium openings everywhere

With the tournament now just seven short months away, Adidas have unleashed the first batch of their official home shirts for Euro 2020 (stream qualifying and finals matches live on ESPN+ in the U.S.).

Several nations including Spain, Germany, Belgium and Russia have been presented with their new jerseys.

All the designs are inspired by the same central concept: the point at which art meets football.

Spain

Reverting to the classic red-and-yellow palette of yore, the new Spain shirt features an original, hand-painted abstract deconstruction of the national flag.

The fine detailing also includes the number '1920' printed on the neck in reference to the 100th anniversary of the Spanish Football Federation launching their first-ever recognised shirt.

Germany

As handsome and understated as ever, the new Germany shirt boasts a hand-painted pinstripe design running horizontally across the body, with the national colours of black, red and gold relocated to the sleeves.

Indeed, Die Mannschaft's long run of beautifully minimalist national team jerseys looks set to continue into 2020.

Belgium

Belgium's latest kit is a celebration of the 'strong and progressive' colours used on the nation's flag with an added diagonal brushstroke flourishes.

The Red Devils' all-new, reconfigured team crest also sees the aforementioned colours used to create the letter 'B,' which is also echoed in a similar design detail on the back of the neck.

Sweden

An exercise in class and modernity, the new Sweden shirt is pared down and tinged with retro appointments, including that classic blocky V-neck.

The sleeve cuffs also feature a modernist interpretation of the Swedish flag while the word 'Sverige' is printed across the back of the neck.

Russia

The Russia shirt also heralds the return of the oversized V-neck along with a hand-painted graphic that covers the majority of the body.

Blue and white blocks of colours are also added to the sleeves as a 'symbol of unity amongst players and fans.'

Wales

Welsh culture is celebrated with the Dragons' latest offering, with the red and yellow detailing taking inspiration from the famous sigil of 15th century Welsh revolutionary Owain Glyndwr.

As well as paying homage to national colours, the sleeve cuff also mirrors the design seen on the bucket hat favoured by Wales fans, which is certain to go down well on the terraces.

Wales Euro 2020 Kitsempty Spaces The Blog -

Hungary

The Magyars new shirt is a bold red design with green trim and a spray-paint style graphic inspired by the mighty River Danube, which flows through the heart of the land.

To help complete the design, a 'Magyarorszag' [the Hungarian word for Hungary] detail has also been placed on the back of the neck.

Italy

Not to be left out, Puma also unveiled their latest creation for the Italian national team on Monday too, the latest in their Renaissance-inspired run.

As with the green shirt that preceded it, the accompanying white jersey features a modern take on historic Italian art which they say 'celebrates the hopes and aspirations of a new generation of Azzuri players.'

Guardiola and Klopp both could have been happier at final whistle

Liverpool pulled away from the chasing pack at the summit of the Premier League by virtue of a comprehensive win over rivals Manchester City on Sunday.

Though not without controversy, the Reds cantered to a 3-1 victory on home soil which, among other things, preserved Jurgen Klopp's impressively immaculate record against Pep Guardiola.

The City manager has now lost all eight matches in which he's come up against Klopp -- three more than any other coach -- a wretched record that seems to be gnawing on Guardiola's nerves ever so slightly given his behaviour at Anfield.

The defeat condemned Guardiola to what is officially his worst ever start to a top-flight season as a manager, having taken just 25 points from his opening 12 games.

It's also the first time he's been more than three points off the top of the table at the same juncture, and things are obviously getting a little tense.

Firstly, the video you've no doubt seen a hundred times already: Guardiola politely informing the fourth official how many penalties he would have liked to seen City awarded.

That last exasperated scream into the ether is a work of performance art.

Pep was also quite visibly in maximum 'sore loser' mode when he ventured over to shake the officials' hands after the final whistle, thanking Michael Oliver from the bottom of his heart.

Despite evidence to the contrary, the City boss insisted his overwrought handshake wasn't disrespectful toward Oliver and his team.

'No, I was not sarcastic,' he said. 'It was 'thank you very much.' All the time when I speak to referees and my colleagues I say 'thank you and good luck.'

Wales Euro 2020 Kitsempty Spaces The Blog Youtube

Guardiola also revealed that he had told his players not to tweet about the decisions given (or not, as the case may be) or to voice their frustrations in any way.

'Heads up, guys,' he told his team. 'Do not to use the social media to say your thoughts on some departments. Talk about how good the football was.'

The result saw Liverpool once again demonstrate their outstanding Premier League home dominance over City, having now gone 17 games (12 wins, five draws) without defeat at Anfield -- an extended run which dates way back to May 2003.

However, Jurgen Klopp didn't escape without having his patience tested, most notably by the pesky Steadi-Cam operators who swarmed around him as he celebrated at full-time.

The cameramen apparently tried to encourage Klopp to fist pump for effect directly down their lens, only to be told 'I'm not your clown' by the indignant German.

Quite right.

Still, the smile was soon back on the German's face when he spoke to a reporter from Eurosport Romania, who presented him with a traditional Romanian hat known as a clop. Its recipient reacted much as you might expect.

In his postmatch press conference, Klopp attempted to quash talk of the title race already being over.

'We want to be first in May and not only in November,' the Reds manager said, adding that the eight-point gap between his side and Leicester City in second place seemed 'crazy'.

If they keep playing like they're playing, then it's difficult to see where points are going to be dropped.

Leicester celebrations channel The Lion King in Arsenal win

Leicester City continued their fine run of form by beating Arsenal 2-0 at the weekend to go second in the Premier League.

In front of a buoyant King Power crowd, James Maddison scored the Foxes' second goal which earned him a special celebration from defender Caglar Soyuncu.

Indeed, perhaps in homage to 'The Lion King,' the Turkish centre-back presented Maddison to the fans like Rafiki hoisting Simba aloft above Pride Rock.

A special moment, though whether Maddison goes on to become ruler of all the light touches very much depends on Leicester's form for the remainder of the season.

Mourinho's worries crack up Chelsea coach

Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has voiced his concerns over his old team under Frank Lampard, despite the latter's team beating Crystal Palace 2-0 at the weekend.

Appearing on Sky Sports as a pundit, Mourinho congratulated Lampard on the work he's done with the Blues thus far before criticising the young side's record against more prominent opposition, namely Liverpool, Manchester United and Ajax.

'After the first weekend [a 4-0 defeat against United], I was worried and I am still worried about the big matches,' Mourinho said, before identifying Chelsea's lack of pragmatism in big games.

This was enough to earn him a hearty laugh from assistant manager Jody Morris, who just saw his side win their sixth consecutive Premier League game to go joint-second in the table.

Of course, Mourinho has a point, but it's perhaps not entirely fair to expect a team with an average age of 24 to be going toe-to-toe with heavyweights less than half a season into Lampard's tenure.

Giant holographic lion raises bar for stadium openings everywhere

Estudiantes de la Plata recently returned to their home stadium for the first time in 16 years and it's fair to say the club laid on a special event to celebrate.

The Argentinian side surprised fans by unleashing a gigantic holographic lion at the Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi ahead of Friday night's Superliga tie against Talleres de Cordoba.

The stadium was closed in 2005 after newly introduced regulations meant its wooden stands were no longer deemed safe for use.

Estudiantes relocated to the municipal stadium across town while demolition and renovation work took place.

Fifteen long years later, they (and their enormous flame-spewing mascot) are finally back where they belong.
