wishcandy MIGUEL ROTHSCHILD federico babina Valerio Ricci - Installation Sculpture Valerio Ricci’s Storage is an installation composed of 204 hand-made bricks, shaped, painted, and cooked by the artist. They cover most of the floor’s surface in a room, leaving only a perimetric passageway free. Ordered in an extensive grid, their yellow-glazed ceramic shines as a carpet of gold bullions. Throughout the show visitors are invited to take home the bricks. (from press release, Raffaele Bedarida, New York 2009) stasia burrington | illustration & fine art Juan Sánchez Cotán Juan Sánchez Cotán (June 25, 1560 – September 8, 1627) was a Spanish Baroque painter, a pioneer of realism in Spain. His still lifes—also called bodegones—were painted in an austere style, especially when compared to similar works in the Netherlands and Italy. Life[edit] Sánchez Cotán was born in the town of Orgaz, near Toledo, Spain. On August 10, 1603, Sanchez Cotán, then in his forties, closed up his workshop at Toledo to renounce the world and enter the Carthusian monastery Santa Maria de El Paular. Cotán was a prolific religious painter whose work, carried out exclusively for his monastery, reached its peak about 1617 in the cycle of eight great narrative paintings that he painted for the cloister of the Granada Monastery. In spite of his retreat from the world, Cotán’s influence remained strong. Style[edit] Sánchez Cotán stylistically falls within the school of El Escorial, with Venetian influence, and his works can be placed in the transition from Mannerism to Baroque. Notes[edit]
My Cardboard Life » Made from real cardboard A Casa | José Bechara Iniciado em maio de 2002, o projeto A Casa surgiu a partir da residência de cem artistas plásticos em Faxinal do Céu, município de Pinhão (PR). O encontro foi organizado pela Secretaria de Cultura do Estado do Paraná e contou com a curadoria de Agnaldo Farias e Fernando Bini, e a consultoria de Christian Viveros. Em sua versão inicial, A casa (ou talvez fosse possível pensar em A casa cospe) tira partido de um chalé real, característico da região, que durante o evento serviu como habitação e ateliê para o artista convidado. Neste projeto, a partir do conceito de abrigo e da noção familiar de moradia, José Bechara procura estabelecer relações físicas, metafísicas e visuais com o hábitat, criando conexões poéticas com o interior e com o exterior deste lugar. Reorganizando o espaço com método e rigor, o artista trabalha objetos familiares como formas geométricas ou geometrizantes e inverte a ideia de abrigo ao colocar para fora os os utensílios que lembram a presença humana. A Casa, 2004.
