1998 Escort Surges While Idling

Wallmount

Bob and Chociczy United is proud of his son, because "it went to sit." Frank a few years ago paved plate leg crushed during demolition of farm buildings, and since then limp, leaning on the ball. Apartment in an old house had no bathroom or running water, because "what?" Despite the seeming contradictions Frank remained cheerful and likes to smile, while on the wall built a very unusual setup. Unusual for me, because more and more catching up on finding such rarities in the places where you least expect them to. And perhaps only in such?
installation consists mainly of two images of Christ and a holy card, which has long ceased to be readable - a black square? For this photo a son and a half of a "trophy" hunting, which seems to come from disadvantaged deer. Total age group next to a light switch, with its help if you could bring one move all the accumulated history of the installation, turn on the images stored in memory.

What Is My Dreamweaver Registration



In the book, Christopher Jurecki quest for meaning in photography. Conversations about art the very end of the conversation with the author talked about the need for promotion of Polish photography festivals around the world. Often the idea of \u200b\u200bfestival revolves around inviting the guest. For example, in Houston's FotoFest are ongoing in China this year that the country will also be invited in May to Fotofestiwal to Lodz. I understand - the Olympics and still a certain exoticism, Although the Chinese art world has for years been strongly present. But Month of Photography in Krakow definitely surprised me. Indeed, the organizers thought that to participate in the festival to invite ... Poland. And strange as it sounds (in the end we invite ourselves), however this can be an excellent opportunity to ensure that the Polish Stock, together with the guests and directories found another path to cross our borders. Maybe because you have to wait for the results in the form of two major exhibitions - curated an exhibition of photographs by the year 2000 was Wojciech Prazmowski, and photography created after that date, Chris Miękus (including the author of now Poland). For now, though information on both exhibitions are more than modest, so will wait until May when the festival opens.
I must admit that I like the idea of \u200b\u200bpresenting our country, and this show has a chance (only provided reliable implementation) to become a significant event in recent years, especially since the Polish photography at other festivals are not dealt so far so significant, or still exploited best "classics", what the audience (not just foreign) gives the impression of continuous chasing a heel ... I also very much hope that the catalog of the festival will be even richer and fuller than last year's informative, and indeed quite nice. Finally, he gives life after years of exhibitions and becomes a source of information for various studies.

Rempex the third time, Somewhere

Rempex Auction House and artinfo.pl preparing the third edition of the auction Poland Collector photo, which will be held April 9 and will be preceded by an exhibition in Rempexie - opening tomorrow. The third edition will be presented about 200 works of which, as they write the organizers at Artinfo.pl "with an emphasis on achievements the most interesting artists of the past 40 years. " If, after two previous auctions concluded that you should invest energy and work especially in the promotion of contemporary photography, with greater optimism is expected to slow (I do not believe in a sudden stroke) Stock market development and interest of collectors.
interesting to read you a few lines further: "Auctions with the cycle of Poland photo Collectors are prepared differently from other listings on the Polish art market. We treat them as an attractive event, social event and action on important educational values. Hence the reverence with a large approach to the directory that is offered alongside reproductions of the work contains extensive biographical notes of authors enriched with fig critical. Catalog with a circulation of 1,500 copies circulated to collectors of photography and contemporary art. "The truth is that the first two auctions was expanded to include directories that contain" only "biographical authors. We must also admit that the second folder has proved to be far more successful (the form and execution) from the first. So, if this trend will continue, this third edition may be even better success than the previous one. I let it happen, because such events Polish photography needs like a fish water! But with most look forward to the announced "critical feature" ...

Silver Prom Dress 90210



with a flat landscapes emerge the outlines of three small outbuildings. In fact, we have no doubt that it is a former farm. This is to certify not only the emptiness around the buildings and the architecture itself (who tried to shed, or rural cottage architecturally interesting impose a vision?), But also the most important part of the picture - a wooden peg in the foreground, retaining shabby fence of barbed wire, probably to protect it what remains after the former glory of this place.
The above photo shows the deserted farm ( Abandoned Farm, near Dolhart, Texas, 1938 ) with a time of great crisis that struck in the 30s United States. Dorothea Lange made it in one of the largest projects in the history of photography Farm Security Administration (FSA) carried out for government agencies under the supervision of Roy E. Stryker, and designed to show the effects of the Great Depression and the introduction of a state policy interwencjonalizmu Franklin D. Roosevelt or "New Deal" (New Deal). The huge scale of the FSA can provide a number of left by the involved photographers, numbering about 250,000 negatives ...
With such achievements is extremely difficult to put together the activities of contemporary photography, in addition to locking in small and science within a single county of only 704 km2. Even so, a small area can become rich training ground for an artist who is well aware of the possibility and nature of the medium of photography.
For Waldemar Śliwczyńskiego Commons has at least a few words - treat it as a document disappearing at an accelerating pace of provincial architecture, but also as a carrier information about the past tense, hence the passion for the pre-war postcards (dot releases his effort appeared to 2007 as many as three albums containing pre-war postcards from September and the former county Wrzesnia). But as befits the racial regionalistę Śliwczyński carefully distinguished steps to put a case is not on too far and did not hook the neighboring district Wrzesnia. This rare attitude unique attachment to the locality carries a lot of limitations-not only geographically, because of this attitude must be associated misunderstanding - as in fact translating conscious of the importance of documenting the profound changes is the "here" and "now"? Despite the obvious similarities, the process of documenting the holdings of the Fallen - the main theme Śliwczyńskiego photography - can not be directly compared with the FSA project, or activity of an amazing marriage Becher, who have devoted their lives to build a kind of typology of industrial buildings. The scale and time are completely different. Also, the very idea. However, one important element remains constant - determination. Feature that the documentary photography is one of the fundamental to its existence. Without it, many buildings of former state farms have disappeared forever today, others that lasted longer and were still subjected to the slow destruction. The resulting photographs are replete with not only a critical look, but also a kind of melancholy. And not due to a longing for the past economic system, but rather stems directly from ancient history, recorded on old postcards. Without a doubt, a large collection of pre-war postcards from around Wrzesnia what Śliwczyński able to create seems to be the most important key to his photography. They seem to set the stages of photographic documentation of traces of the past, without making unnecessary assessments - not the social and economic hierarchy are important here, but discovering and restoring history in general. Even the smallest, most human, created by each and every human being. If you do not live only for the copper ...

This text written for the exhibition, which will soon be opened in the regional museum in Wrzesnia - details below.

Write A Production Proposal

attack has come from art critics

In January, the album went to sell the legendary band Axe. Groups, which in a matter of fact there was like a meteor, playing a few (reportedly seven) shows in 1984-1985 (a period of eleven months) and then broke up. So maybe a comet?. However, in such a short period of time managed to become a true legend of Polish punk rock. As the ax in its original form did not leave any official recordings ( New Alexandria of 1986 is already "other" new wave ax), harvested after 23 years of concert footage Manufactory and legend has just released a record on all fronts world. The album is a bit rough (the recording quality), but the music does not lose its power and transmission, and maybe it gets through to the authenticity. Besides it's the same beads, raw, without unnecessary frills.

interesting is the front cover of album - "in the current style" is imposed at the first touch. The case is explained when we look to "imprint" - the author of this project is none other, as Wilhelm Sasnal, also related to the theme of "struggle" ...

Milena Velba - Floorclean

Nekla

Almost every day serves up TV advertising, which it turns out that every second Pole reaches Warka and every second Pole is interested in football. In Nekla every second person familiar with the art, it is no wonder that the ruling gave rise to fast and no negative votes.
Nekla is located close to September and is several times smaller than her. It has a small cultural center, and it was until recently something that referred to the only known nekielskiej legend - the dam, which had banked up Twardowski himself. Mural depicting scenes of evil is not done Twardowski, but by the late painter, cartoonist, illustrator and caricaturist books from Poznan, Stanislaw Mrowińskiego (1928-1997), a very substantial for Great. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in the years 1945-1950 under professors. Wenceslas Taranczewski, prof. Piasecki and John Eustace Wasilkowski. His style is contained in a whole bunch of parts rubbing ludycznych about Wielkopolska landscape and folklore, and he designed a stamp went to the Pole Marek Kaminski. But, for it was a provincial artist Nekla too low a level ... Activists from Nekla
apparently dates back to the Warka often than "every other Pole," because otherwise it is difficult to find an excuse for mindless decision to remove the image Mrowińskiego. I always thought that such a small resort with joy as Nekla should highlight the existence of a valid work at home developers, which in addition has been dedicated to highlight the local legend. And especially for Nekla! So finally built up the image of the place (it works in the entire civilized world), so it forms a specific character, which apparently lacked Nekla policy makers. But do not run their well-being and fun in art criticism moved at all: "It was ugly," declared one of them, even though a week ago everybody knew only that "he who is painted dead." Aesthetic canons nekielskich activists appear to be so excessive that they can meet the artist from Poznan. I have the impression that unscrupulous Nekla painted over the Banksy. And besides, who cares where some "art", not better go to another Warka?
