Jörg Marx - A Summer Night in the Village
My series »A Summer Night in the Village« is concerned with village nightscapes. The project is about the transformation of the village environment at nighttime. While the city plunges into a sea of lights at night, the village is barely lit by few street lights. Nightlife in the city is full of people and cars that populate the street. In the villages, the paths and streets are silent and deserted. There is no activity which deflects from the interplay of the pale light and the buildi...
James Baldwin - Le sporting-club de Monte Carlo (for Lena Horne)
The lady is a tramp
a camp
a lamp
The lady is a sight
a might
a light
the lady devastated
an alley or two
reverberated through the valley
which leads to me, and you
the lady is the apple
of God's eye:
He's cool enough about it
but He tends to strut a little
when she passes by
the lady is a wonder
daughter of the thunder
smashing cages
legistlating rages
with the voice of ages
singing us through.
Richard Tuschman - Hopper Meditations
"Hopper Meditations" is a personal photographic response to the work of the American painter, Edward Hopper. I have always loved the way Hopper’s paintings, with an economy of means, are able to address the mysteries and complexities of the human condition. Placing one or two figures in humble, intimate settings, he created quiet scenes that are psychologically compelling with open-ended narratives. The characters’ emotional states can seem to waver paradoxically between reverie and ali...

Edward Hopper - August in the City (1945)
Youve got to learn how to dance and speak lots of languages and pull ideas out of your hat. Youve got to have a way of conducting yourself thats nonconformist and nuts. Youve got to radicalize the programs over the years. Youve got to want two kids. Youve got to pass the world through the sieve of a clear vision or, when the chips are down, be an optimist. Got to laugh at yourself as well as the other guy. Youve got to arrive on time anyoldwhere. Youve got to concentrate on the aim with a pr...
Feliç aniversari, Jordi Savall!
Extracto del concierto de Jordi Savall para viola da gamba del ciclo “Origen y esplendor de la viola da gamba”. Obras de Sieur de Machy y Marin Marais.
Cíclos de Miércoles, 28 de mayo de 2014.
El “Prélude” del Sieur de Machy que abre esta sección se desarrolla en un estilo antiguo, aún heredero con la técnica de la tiorba. Contrasta con las piezas de Marais, en estilo moderno: expresividad y virtuosismo técnico, exploración tímbrica y predominio de la melodía son los elementos que caracterizan...

A realidade ainda existe?
Ontem, por acaso, revi "The Matrix", o filme de 1999 dos irmos (agora irms) Wachowski. O filme alterna entre sequncias de ao visualmente inovadoras, uma interessante mistura de vrias ideias que o cinema, a banda desenhada e a televiso andavam a trabalhar h anos e discursos pomposos de filosofia pop sobre a natureza da realidade. esta ltima parte que parece ter envelhecido pior e me parece, contudo, mais necessria que nunca.
H uns dias, tinha lido umtexto ("I'm With The Banned" de Laurie Penn...
Deqn Sue: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Deqn Sue rose above a crowd of close to 7,000 entries and almost won our Tiny Desk Concert Contest earlier this year. I so loved her song and her performance of "Magenta" that I invited Deqn Sue along with her producer, Kelvin Wooten to my desk to perform that song and more.
What you'll hear is a witty soul and a powerful singer backed by precise beats, melodic bass and electronics, all wrapped in humor and heart. You can find the first song she performs here "Bloody Monster," which she wr...
