by, Eti Esther Naor Red wax stalactites drip out of hanging white gauze clothes, creating a poignant sculptural installation. The work captures the viewer within its wall, leading him into the heart of an unresolved experience: Is it an outdoor news-breaking violence scene, or is it an opening to a place of inner pain that spreads out like an ancient landscape, wishing to touch the indescribable? Ei Esther Naor continues to explore in her new work the different manners in which matter can embody evasive contradicting feelings as eroticism, fear, beauty and suffering. Through matter she creates a fantasy space which brings up the duality of the feminine experience while seeking to undermine the possibility for a single emotional and conceptual interpretation.

map and art
"Art is a form of exploration, of sailing off into the unknown alone, heading for those unmarked places on the map." sais the writer Michael Chabon and presents his concerns "If children are not permitted—not taught—to be adventurers and explorers as children, what will become of the world of adventure, of stories, of literature itself?" via platial "Most great stories of adventure, from The Hobbit to Seven Pillars of Wisdom, come furnished with a map. That's because every story of adventure is in part the story of a landscape, of the interrelationship between human beings (or Hobbits, as the case may be) and topography.
Often it takes a seconded glance to grasp the essence of reality that surrounds us, without going too far. It helps to step aside and to start watching again, putting between ourselves and the world the right distance to view it in full, or at least see the single part that tell us much more. The shots of Anne Lass have the rare and precious gift of synthesis, and a power of communication that goes hand in hand with the undeniable aesthetic appeal that they move deep in the observer. The Geography of Nowhere project, undertaken in the United States where the German photographer resided for a couple of years, is a striking example. «In my work», Anne Lass confirms, «I try convert my personal impression of portions of the United States living space into a panopticon of what I like to call absence of self-determination.

**Centres d'artistes et lieux de diffusion artistique en solidarité avec la lutte étudiante** Les étudiantes et les étudiants du Québec qui, depuis plus d'un mois, entrent massivement en grève (près de 200 000 en date du 15 mars 2012) ne le font pas que pour refuser une hausse de leurs frais de scolarité. Ils et elles prennent la rue, multiplient les actions, occupent l'espace médiatique et s'organisent pour affirmer que l'éducation n'est pas une marchandise.

C'est comme ça que nous avons rencontré ces gens, nous prenions des photos de ces maisons abandonnées, toits en lambeaux, murs délabrés, détruits semblait-il, nombreux déchets, poussière... Cette femme était là dehors et nous a invité à entrer. Son mari nous explique qu'ils vont devoir démménager, on va les installer dans des immeubles neufs, tout récents, je ne sais pas où, je ne sais pas si eux mêmes savent.
