Do you remember the first rolling ball kinetic sculpture you experienced? I know the first time I viewed one. We (David and I) were captivated and stayed watching every ball for a very long time. I am sure it was a George Rhoades creation but I am not sure if it was the one in the United terminal at Logan Airport in Boston or the one at the Boston Science Museum. We visited both many times over the years.

25 Abandoned Yugoslavia Monuments that look like they're from the Future
These structures were commissioned by former Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito in the 1960s and 70s to commemorate sites where WWII battles took place (like Tjentište, Kozara and Kadinjača), or where concentration camps stood (like Jasenovac and Niš). They were designed by different sculptors (Dušan Džamonja, Vojin Bakić, Miodrag Živković, Jordan and Iskra Grabul, to name a few) and architects (Bogdan Bogdanović, Gradimir Medaković...), conveying powerful visual impact to show the confidence and strength of the Socialist Republic. In the 1980s, these monuments attracted millions of visitors per year, especially young pioneers for their "patriotic education." After the Republic dissolved in early 1990s, they were completely abandoned, and their symbolic meanings were forever lost.Facteur Céleste: point de travers
Lausanne, Musée de l'Art Brut , exposition L'ENVERS ET L'ENDROIT , extrait du dépliant (il n'y a pas eu de catalogue) : Broderie, couture, tapisserie, tricot, dentelle, crochet. Les travaux d’aiguille, activités traditionnellement dévolues aux femmes, les ont assujetties au modèle à suivre, au canevas et au si bien nommé patron. Inféodées à ces tâches domestiques, elles y ont sacrifié leur indépendance d’esprit et leur liberté créatrice. Jeanne Tripier, Madge Gill, Agnès Richter ou Rosa Zharkikh font voler en éclats ces principes ancestraux et semblent bel et bien contester cet asservissement par leurs audacieuses et prodigieuses créations.
I thought this to be a quite interesting way of presenting and preserving a darning sampler. Surely, there is no way I could know if this was done by its owner or later by one of the family members. May be this is very normal to a German lady and is mundane.

Les saisons La vie que nous menons aujourd’hui n’est plus aussi étroitement liée aux rythmes naturels que l’était celle de nos ancêtres. Néanmoins, nous restons sensibles à la nature. Celle-ci influence nos idées sur les couleurs, même si nous n’avons pas toujours conscience de cette influence.

our miniature cake attempt (and tins) As the post before this was about Ron Mueck’s hyperrealist sculptures – works of huge proportions, I though I would post about the interesting world of miniatures. I’ve always loved miniatures. There is something so aesthetically pleasing about them. loved making these!
