Louisiana Museum

Last week, I visited the Louisiana Museum, a modern art museum located in the North of Copenhagen in Denmark. Great museum, just on the coast. In the permanent exhibition, they have few Picasso, Warhol, Miro but also some Scandinavian artists, I did not know. It's worth visiting it. The museum itself, but also the garden containing a lot of sculptures lost in the green of the garden, with the Swedish coast as a background. it's a perfect location to enjoy art and also to chill out.

Unbranded by Hank Willis Thomas

Hank Willis Thomas's project 'unbranded.' Hank's view on the project: "unbranded is a series of images taken from magazine advertisements targeting a black audience or featuring black subjects, which i digitally manipulated and appropriated....i have removed all aspects of the advertising information, e.g., texts, logos, in order to reveal what's being sold. nothing more is altered."

Thumbs up !

The Thumb by Cesar. Cesar, in a way, fell in love with his thumb and so decided to reproduce it at a larger scale ! Examples of his work can be seen at a number of places such as Museum of Modern Art (Centre Georges-Pompidou), at the Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris (Facel Véga), his grave at the Cemetery of Montparnasse, on the esplanade de La Défense (The Thumb), in Marseille (The Giant Thumb)... Actually, there are many thumbs around the world...I only saw the one in Paris... pretty cool.

Faces of London by Paul Bence

Amazing work by Paul Bence, who successfully captures faces of joy, sadness, happiness, anger. It's a bit like feeling the soul of London through all those strangers. London is not only one of them, but all together... diversity of faces, of feelings, of cultures...

Super8

I found a nice website full of drawings and paintings. It's in a way naive and simple but so good !! I think, I am going to post a list of my best 20 art blogs someday... I can't wait to go the Lousiana museum (modern art museum located in Denmark). I'll take plenty of pictures to post them here. The museum has indeed some masterpieces by Picasso, Wahrol and Miro...

Summer solstice, let's play some music !!!

The Fête de la Musique, also known as World Music Day, is a music festival taking place on June 21, which is usually the summer solstice. The Fête de la Musique began in France and has become a popular event around the world. I wish to be in France today...

Discover Queen!

Rice Stadium Speech

We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

Borgarfjörður

Borgarfjörður is a fjord in the west of Iceland near the town of Borgarnes. The waters of Borgarfjörður appear to be calm, however the fjord is on the contrary a rather dangerous part of the sea because of its undercurrents and shallows.

Blue eyes

Gazing deeply into your soul
those blue blue eyes tell it all
the hidden past you try to escape
the future that always dreamt...

What are you thinking about, Mona Lisa ?

I was strolling in the streets today and I found this... well her. I am wondering what she is looking at! Is she thinking of someone or just looking at the sky? I have more pictures of urban drawings and graffitis. I may post some of them someday. Actually, I met a 'graffiti drawer' last week. He had just finished a really nice fresco... that I will probably put on my blog next week.

Jumping, jumping, jumping

The picture reminds the book 'Mr Vertigo' by Paul Auster... You should definitely read this book. Paul Auster describes strange heroes living in a violent, wild, naive, America in the 1930's. The America of jazz, gangsters, cinema... You can feel the same creative writing in Paul Auster's book as in Twain's or Steinbeck's books.
