“Any meeting with a woman, whether wife, casual acquaintance or prostitute, can teach you something about the world than reading Balzac. For example, I can hardly even read a book since elementary school. I think all the charm life hidden in a woman. It is beauty, disgust, obscenity, purity - garazdo more than can be found in nature. A woman is the sky and the sea, a woman - and a flower bud. I associate body of the woman, because I can not relate her heart. Only her physical parts can be connected. Thus the binding into a hug. “

Amazing New Album ….
The Museo Picasso Málaga presents Alberto Giacometti. A Retrospective, an exhibition that precisely reflects the different stages in the career of one of the outstanding artists of the last century. Giacometti’s work is crucial to understanding the development of the avant-gardes and the subsequent evolution of contemporary art, while as an artist he nevertheless defies classification. This project challenges the conventional reductionist view of Giacometti’s oeuvre. This is the first Alberto Giacometti retrospective to be held in Spain in more than 20 years, and it will bring together 198 artworks in the Palacio de Buenavista. The 20 photographs and 166 of the other works are from the collections of the Fondation Alberto et Annette Giacometti, in Paris, created by the artist’s widow. The show is completed by three works by Gioacommetti that are on loan from private collections and from the Zurich Kunsthaus, along with a work by José Ruiz Blasco and a selection of eight works by Pablo Picasso from private collections, the MPM’s own permanent collection and the Fundación Picasso Casa Natal.

Photographer Harry Callahan Centennial Celebrated at the National Gallery of Art, Washington
October 2, 2011–March 4, 2012
Harry Callahan (1912–1999) was one of the most innovative and influential photographers of the 20th century. Celebrating the centenary of his birth, the exhibition of some 100 photographs explores all facets of Callahan’s art, from its genesis in Detroit in the early 1940s and its flowering in Chicago in the late 1940s and 1950s to its maturation in Providence and Atlanta from the 1960s through the 1990s. Throughout his long career, he repeatedly found new ways of looking at and presenting the world in photographs that are elegant, visually daring, and highly experimental.

GARETH PUGH 2012 FILM
” HANDMADE IN ENGLAND” The Bracket 7685. The first chance for the public to see the high levels of skill that go in to making each light. Original BTC and Davey Lighting are the makers of functional “Made in England” lighting that, in their process of heavy hand-crafting, are still wonderfully human. Their video gallery is a trove of insight, following the experienced perfection of bone-china lampshades, glass-blowing, sand-casting and sculpting borne from doing something a thousand times with a historically refined process. The films capture the inflections and instinctive movements of each maker, and the way innumerable and nondescript tools are selected and used for such specific ends is both baffling and fascinating.

WE CAN FIND BEAUTIFUL THINGS , WITHOUT CONSCIOUSNESS
A rejected bottle survives to hold an imaginary flower
constructed linearly, the fragrance opens with the man made
organic composites of aldehydes and safraleine, opening up slowly
to hawthorns nd derivations of lilac, before exploding in a riot of
flower oxides, then finally succumbing to notes of industrial glue
and brown scotch tape with hints of musk and styrax
purposely taking a bottle that has been disqualified from existence
and purposefully giving it its right to exist
