Remedios Varo Remedios Varo Biography Remedios Varo's storied life began in 1908 when she was born in Spain. She fled the Spanish Civil War and headed to Paris to further her artistry in Surrealism. The surrealist movement was strong there and she honed her skills along with painters who received more notoriety. The Nazi occupation of France forced Varo into exile. She made it out safe and in 1941 arrived in Mexico City where she remained the remainder of her life. Tate Modern Entry details Entry to the collection remains free for everyone.

Museum Official Website Damien Hirst DAMIEN HIRST Isonicotinoyl Chloride, 2005 Household gloss on canvas 84 x 84 inches (213.4 x 213.4 cm) Damien Hirst Listed Exhibitions (81 Kb)Damien Hirst Bibliography (122 Kb) Damien Hirst was born in Bristol in 1965. He studied at Goldsmiths College in London and first came to public attention in 1988 when he conceived and curated "Freeze," an exhibition of his work and that of his friends and fellow students at Goldsmiths. In the near quarter century since that pivotal show, Hirst has become one of the most prominent artists of his generation. DOMa magazine editorial design by Nowhere Studio - The Greek Foundation Athens-based graphic design practice Nowhere Studio has designed the first two issues of DOMa magazine, a new international publication that is dedicated to the architectural process. DOMa magazine is published four times a year, and is probably the only architecture magazine in the world that presents exclusively the creative process behind architectural praxis. It features outstanding architectural works, from their conception to the final result, through archival material and notes prepared by the architects themselves across 24 pages per work. In this process of revealing their way of thinking and working, the invited architects share drawings, plans, photographs, collages, prototypes and other visual materials from the design process itself — as well as other references that have informed their work such as artworks, found images, texts and other buildings.

Books that will induce a mindfuck Here is the list of books that will officially induce mindfucks, sorted alphabetically by author. Those authors in bold have been recommended by one or more people as being generally mindfucking - any books listed under their names are particularly odd. You're welcome to /msg me to make an addition to this list. And finally, although he's way down at the bottom, my personal recommendation is definitely Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, as it turns the ultimate mindfuck: inverting the world-view of our entire culture, and it is non-fiction.

Museo ABC Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner: Rare Photos, 1949 Is he the greatest living painter in the United States? That was the direct, provocative question asked in an August 1949 LIFE magazine article that helped cement Jackson Pollock’s reputation. It was a question Pollock spent much of the rest of his life struggling to answer — while desperately hoping to show the skeptics why LIFE was right to even ask such a monumental question in the first place.
