How Often Should Teak Be Oiled

City Gallery Act I (the most unlikely artistic way of learning!)

Last Sunday, the first of Sunday's rest after taaanto time, as usual here in Dublin doubt the weather was uncertain (Never trust in Irish weather!), So I say we do? Would you like if we go to visit that other gallery that always tells Oscar that he likes more than the National? - (The one where there is the fabulous Carvaggio for instance) - Yes by. - This is the Dublin City Hugh Lane Gallery.

Ok let's go. We arrive. Outside, in front of the entrance the first thing you require 'Sara Dancing' : one of the installations of the series of Julian Opie 'Walking on O'Connell Street' for a year to animate this part one of the biggest streets and fomose cities with this fantastic idea of \u200b\u200bcharacters who walk made of lights. I say: look! I've never seen it! Of course I had never seen because I had never gone there before, but my amazement was the fact that I assumed that those facilities were exclusively in and for O 'Connell Street, for the simple reason that walk, and in O'Connell street you walk, and not the images across the city. But then on reflection it Sara dancing not walk, and most say that dancing swaying from right to left and vice versa in perpetual motion. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk8VgGhxOVU ) However, after taking the brochure at the entrance of City Galley and be back home, I opened all a world! The ignorance but has been decreasing gradually, by dint of links, or if you want awareness at the same time it has been showing up more. All circuit unconscious knowledge and ignorance intertwined past of whom now try to explain how ironic! I go: although almost a year I see those characters in fairy lights walking on O'Connell Street, and although I asked several times of who might be, I never in-depth research to learn more ... so were there every day ... But I took that from quad flyer has expanded my mind! Before discovery: these characters, five in all, I have found to have a proper name, at least Sara, Jack and Julian, the other three are only shown no caption below. Second discovery: these characters are not the prerogative of Dublin, but someone has already been able to see them in Phoenix, Arizona, in Boston, Indianapolis and Toronto! And that already gave me a completely different view of that installation . third and final pool (which made me think of the typical and conclusive AAAAAAA sentence, you know who it is!): Going to the website and looking style of these designs with contoured blacks and eyes small immediately connects them to the cover of Best of Blur. This here. And I read that also did something similar to U2. Here ... this world is revealed to me in five minutes, and I felt more stupid that was ignorant because I have it under my nose for a year and if not was because I had nothing else to do that Sunday, I never connected all these things, with the risk that maybe back in Italy a few of my friend or worse still a professor all'univeristà I say 'Aahh Dublin! Then he must have certainly been able to admire the last installazini Julian Opie famous throughout the world which, unfortunately, we here in Italy we still can not enjoy! ' And I would have done the typical fool of him with that which he wants to give drink to those who know more of you at this small detail of the artist's world-renowned not recollect, but in reality nothing about an Irish fife what you're talking about laundry, but after that has seen them for a whole year. And then when you finally lighting vaglielo do believe that yes you've seen something for a year! ... (See the end of everything if you just Best of me could save face! Thank goodness go!;)

How Old Do You Have To Be To Buy Wraps

Diversions

know when one is distracted? Or rather when it does not reflect? Like when you were a child, those games 'repeat 20volte milk milk milk ...' and then asked you what the cow eats and you say 'milk!' ?? here I mean things like that, when does not reflect a ...

So in this post I reconnect go to the previous post on the Caravaggio painting then passed to a thing that apparently has nothing to do, but as I said at the beginning, if something makes you think of a 'got to do something else! Not got to do m ac'entra! Here in this post are different elements that are intertwined: a Caravaggio, 2 Jesus Christ, but the link is more important in all my mother! Let's start: Part : A bit 'of weeks ago came to visit me here in Dublin app anointed my mom. was 5days and I did see a bit 'of a city and little' side of country. The last day I took ta the Nanti onal Gallery, where I could vent t Utta my culture on art. In particular so we stopped in front of Caravaggio's Taking of Christ (above). While and explained the painting, c ike the last thing I wanted to point out that the guards who come to Jesus in the capture of he were dressed in Olives so co ntemporaneo to C aravagg me and not in Roman dress, as it should be. Dialogue: I said, and then see how the guards are dressed ? "And she: m h." Me: I see I do not wear a Roman? And she, seizing at once-without thinking-the reminiscences Catholic we all say some xchè the Romans if they washed their hands. " And I, N O! So what? And who taken then? I'm not gone gaurdie Romania to take in the Garden? "And she : A already true!" And I: So you seem to be dressed as these Roman guards? Look well, look at your helmet! " She said is not, and why then?" I say, but god holy but you've also seen the fiction on BBC1 on Carava GGIO, m then what do you remember? Nothing "(and here we open a long speech on all the fiction that gua rda my mom's was) Okay comuq nue, pretending I do not know maybe a little 'p trop or but I think a helmet medieval / modern is dis tingua f acylated by a helmet rom anus. But in any case, this is one of those things that if one does not say craft, not those reasons 5second unconsciously end up putting everything in the same calderon e. So my mom apologized ... even if he has seen the fiction! Having said that when he made realize that the clothes were not Roman and he asked 'm So why, I explained why I have that 'all' we know that Caravaggio was strongly criticized their because pon eva his characters in sacred garments with temporary (albeit the scandalous vestitiss ime Madonnas, perhaps they would not nude scandal). Then my mom said: "Aaaa aaan" (= onomatopoeia of revelation conjunction of logical / visual!). Ok, this was the first but has nothing to do but part of a factor. Seco nda part Hospital Borgo Roma Verona is verament and empty and dreary (almost like the waiting rooms of the police here in Dublin ) qu anyone had the good idea of \u200b\u200b are a touch of Christmas and had set up a Nativity scene on a big table. I get up, do an eye, I remember when as a child I liked put statues, do the houses of cardboard, put the moss true, to walk the Magi a small step a day ... short in this flashback, as my eyes turn v ano there in that crib placed there as best I see in a corner, alone, a strange statue. A man with a long dress Tues Baron, standing. N appeared on either a King M ease neither a pastor nor a Roman, Ave is the man joints and yet ... ... I look good, sharp vision ... and who was ?? SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI !!!!!!! auks I snorted me and went back down. Perchèèè?? Let us reflect for a moment and see that the circle narrows: San Fra ncesco of Assisi, Giovanni Francesco Bernardone anagrafe indeed, was born in 1182 : That is 1182 years after the birth of Jesus, 1182 years Doop that first Christmas was celebrated in this small table set up! And only in 1210-always DOOOPO the birth of Jesus-the order of the Franciscans is recognized as such by Pope Innocent III. All San France risks that you saw in the movies and / or fiction, the most fam dare Brother Sun Sister Moon by Graham Faulkner (top left),

Italians Ettore Bassi left and Raul Bova right (which by the way, despite their chastity Franciscan, I do not know who the most beautiful between the two !) and even Mickey Rourke Ethan Hawke in 1989 and last , or in cartoons or in paintings or sculptures you've ever seen are all DOOOOOOOPO the birth of Jesus, just for instance. So I wonder: What the hell was Saint Francis in the crib?? Other than consecutio tempore! Not that any statue we have, relating to or call the sanctity be put in the manger! Prossismo for your crib, who had a statue of Padre Pio or Raul Bova ...
