VENICE - CLOTHESLINES IN VENICE - I

This post about Clothesline in Venice, was inspired by the blog of the Brazilian painter and sculptor Eduardo Penteado Lunardelli, named Varal de Idéias, that means "Clothesline of Ideas". Eduardo at his blog shows up his works, the works of others artists and also many clothesline photos. So in this post, I will show up some clothesline photos taken in Venice by my son Fernando and by a friend of him, Renato Leme. I hope you all enjoy my post.

MY MOTHER AS A CHILD

In Mother's Day I want to share with you all some photos of my mother Antonietta as a child.

With her grandmother Albertina and with her mother Rita (1914)

Dressing as a mariner

Dressing as an angel to follow religion procession

TREES: SUNLIGHT & SUNSET

I took these photos this week, in sunlight and in sunset, on the edge of the country road.

BOOKS BY MATEJ KRÉN

"Book-Cell" 2006 - This picture was taken by Luísa R. at CAM (Centro de Arte de Moderna da Fundação Gulbenkian) in Lisbon, August 2006.

MATEJ KRÉN was born in 1958 in Trencin, Eslováquia. After graduating from the Applied Arts Secondary School in Bratislava he continued his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava from 1977-81, and from 1981-1985 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague.The artist currently lives and works in Prague.

MATEJ KRÉN's work is remarkable for its exceptional scope. In recent years his distinctive approach to sculpture, object, installation, drawing, print, painting, action art, film, music, sound and word has attracted attention at many prestigious international art shows.

"Book-Cell"

The Book Cell Project, repeats the recurring procedure, in the work of this artist, of piling up thousands of books, creating an architectonic structure where we are invited to step inside.

"Passage" 2006

The "Passage" represents a kind of symbolic "short cut across the world" in which we exist or dwell: through the factual, real world into the world of human culture, where reality is exchanged for another - virtual - reality, for the reality of word, text, sign, symbol, image, and back again. The project itself is a metaphorical synthesis of a number of formal semantic elements: an entrance, a path, "endless walls" of books, mirrors, light, an exit and even the physical presence of the viewers themselves.

The first photo was taken by Luísa R. from the blog Gotasdagua. The others photos and text were from MATEJ KREN's site.
