2011-09. By, Eti Esther Naor Detail view from the Installation. This wonderful, powerful exhibition, takes place from today at Florentin 45, in Tel Aviv. 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. (text by curator Irena Gordon) 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. Every adventure story is conceivable only with reference to the particular set of geographical features that in each case sets the course, literally, of the tale. Les lignes de désir.

ANNE LASS. 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. It is the absence of any reference to the place and the randomness of shown locations that conducts me to the paradox title Geography of Nowhere.» Text by Andrea Filippin.

Steffi Klenz. Georg Parthen ¦ Startseite / Homepage. Wo shi Zhongguo-ren (je suis chinois... pendant trois mois) A l'ombre des tours de Shanghai, la chine semble détruire en partie son histoire. Au centre de Shanghai, entre les rues NanJing, JiangNing, ShiMen et WeiHai, se trouve ce labyrinthe de ruelles minuscules. Des centaines de maisons et des milliers de personnes vivent dans ce qui n'est qu'un carré entre quatres rues commercantes sur la carte de Shanghai. Des carrés comme celui ci, Shanghai en est rempli, on peut simplement ne pas les voir si l'on ne jette pas un coup d'oeil au delà des portiques entre deux magasins. J'y suis retourné trois fois. Premier jour Ce couple adorable, nous a invité à entrer chez eux.

Nous avons rencontré ce couple alors que nous découvrions juste ces ruelles. 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... Des maisons du quartier vont naître ces temples du commerce et de la finance... Le troisième jour. VIP Art Fair. VVORK. Poptronics.
