And it goes without saying, that I am sure I even missed a few others, too. A Declaration of Immigration at the National Museum of Mexico Art in Chicago. Declaration of Immigration Human progress having been comprised by the lack of humanity and respect towards immigrant children, women, & men by anti-immigrant legislature & rhetoric, is reason for the National Museum of Mexico Art to re-affirm the following: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator, certain unalienable Right, that among them are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The Declaration of Immigration to all whom have marched and petitioned against anti-immigrant legislature & rhetoric. National Museum of Mexico Art
Archinect Eikongraphia Rengstorfistan Last night we had a large party at my house in the village to celebrate my sister and host parents. My host sister got into teaching institute to become an English teacher or translator and my host parents were celebrating their twentieth wedding anniversary. I am so happy for all of them and we had an amazing time. It was the same as a lot of other toy’s (parties), much vodka was drank, soup eaten, and dances danced. But this was certainly a special night and I was very happy to be a part of it. Filed under 58 Well its pretty quiet in the desert. It began with a 6-hour taxi ride to the corner of Turkmenistan, near Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. The next day we saw the sights of Koyten Dag. Anyway, it was a pretty great weekend. Filed under 57 Following Pamukkale we had the amazing fortune to board a sailboat for a few days and sail the Mediterranean. Sadly the boat trip had to end and we got back in our rental car and drove back up the coast. Filed under 56 Filed under 55 Food and Drink
LUXIGON luxigon architecture : L'esprit de l'escalier Il y a pratiquement un an, et cela quelques mois après mon arrivée à Chartres, j’avais fait une tentative de reconstitution de la façade de la cathédrale romane de Chartres, avant l’incendie de 1194. Il s’agissait en fait plutôt d’une fantaisie, contrairement à la manipulation d’images à laquelle je m’étais livrée sur la façade de Strasbourg. J’indiquais à la fin de cette note : «Une autre tentative, peut-être, plus tard, après de profitables lectures érudites...» Je suis actuellement en train de constituer une documentation succincte qui me permettra de proposer à mes hôtes des visites guidées sans trous de mémoire, erreurs ou embrouillaminis. Quand en 1006, Fulbert, l’un des plus grand érudits du temps, est nommé évêque de Chartres, son église-cathédrale n’a pas la dimension que requerrait la renommée du pèlerinage marial et l’accueil des nombreux pèlerins. Près d’un siècle plus tard, en 1134, un important incendie détruit une partie de la cité.
infographics | sophiebosworth Maps are beautiful. The fusion of information, art and science creates a visual device for making sense of the world. Maps provide structure and so give confidence in the unknown, and it is this ability to bring order to chaos which many artists have translated metaphorically to narrate the imagination. Maps and data visualisation are two things that I really love, and this beautiful combination forms the subject of Cartograms - a delicious bit of vocabulary which is defined by ‘A presentation of statistical data in geographical distribution on a map’, yum. Grayson Perry Cross dressing Turner Prize Winner, Grayson Perry, is arguably most famous for his ceramic vases – classic, Greek inspired structures, decorated with a cacophony of complex surface techniques to create designs with brash statements. The piece, which was inspired by Thomas More’s Utopia, adopts a traditional cartographic style that is enhanced by Perry’s printing process during which ink is left on the plate. Paula Scher
