Bus de la Lum (which in the evocative and mysterious Veneto dialect of northeast Italy means literally “hole of light”) is the name of a large natural cavity right in the heart of the forest of the Cansiglio plateau, not far from the artist’s studio.
It took me a long time to research these three sculptures that lie in the ground, in the outside Art Gallery of the Whitworth.
I could remember from what our guide said that it was distressing, but I could not recall the detail. After a lot of search I chanced across artmap.com/monitor/exhibition/nico-vascellari-2011
The casts are representations of people that were in WW2 thrown into the cavity, in chains, and shockingly sometimes when they were still alive.
Lest we forget - though in this case I was unaware of what happened until this sculpture was explained, war is responsible for an unbelievable amount of harm.
On a lighter note I also found an article on how the outside sculptures are protected from the Manchester weather aplacebetweenthetrees.com/2022/04/20/collection-care-diar...

「9月號的 art plus 出版了，今次的 Feature 是「書相」，簡言之就是書籍裝幀。今次請來台灣書籍設計師/藝術家黃子欽、香港年輕書籍設計師/藝術家陳曦成做訪問，另外也有香港文學作家飲江大談文學作品如何籍著書籍裝幀得以「重生」，香港插畫家 Tong Chan 的插圖讓讀者可跟著圖示，step by step 做手工書。」

「書是知識的載體。曾經是羊皮捲、骨頭、竹簡……現在是紙，曾經用捲的、綁的、彈簧折的……現在是左右兩邊對稱的形式，就像「輪胎」一樣，材料已不是重點了，容夠承載適當的內容才是關鍵。」 黃子欽
還記得四月份，土耳其作家奧爾罕．帕慕克(Orhan Pamuk)創立了與他小說同名的「純真博物館」，專門收錄帕慕克從二手店收購的作品，重構年少回憶，賦之以形，將之收藏； 黃子欽同樣將搜集到的物品(可能是玩具小盒、保麗膠、漫畫、電影海報、骨骼模型、甚至是記憶)收藏妥當，並以書為載體，他稱之為「紙標本」。標本的目的是將物品永久保存，原封不動。「紙標本」是標本的進一步延伸，他要讓書死去消失，成為標本，讓裡頭的意義重心活過來一遍，再建構成全新意義的書。
「我把一本書先化為標本，然後活化它，啟動它的心跳，希望讀者聽到書的聲音、封面的故事。」
□
身體和書籍的結合
在台南安平出生的黃子欽，畢業於國立台灣藝術學院美術公藝系，曾在誠品書店擔任美術設計工作，遊走在純藝術和設計的領域。黃子欽的書籍設計作品是內斂的，需要閱讀者的耐性和心思，才會了解其心意。所以，它們從不以浮誇耀目的「華衣」示人，反而像個安守本份，與文本和諧共處，絕不喧賓奪主的輔助角色。他設計書的宗旨在近作《Play．紙標本：聽黃子欽說封面故事》中呈現，它記錄黃子欽近三年間六十八件書籍裝幀作品，打破設計師對書籍和書寫的分野，並親自撰寫設計意念，分享造書想法。先談談《Play．紙標本：聽黃子欽說封面故事》的封面和封底設計，圖是黃子欽的手工製品及拋光作品，拋光後的手工製作，表面光滑而且有反光效果，輔以封存在內的古老書籍和舊式錄音轉盤，含蓄地將知識「琥珀化」的概念滲透在內。書的特別版附上一片「光柵片」，這是台灣早期文具常使用的材料，懷舊效果不言而喻。
台灣作家李維菁形容《Play．紙標本：聽黃子欽說封面故事》是黃子欽的漫長與低語的「專輯」，而我認為，這本書突出設計師對書的態度，有種從容不迫，柔情似水的共融與尊重，書的各部份有都有良好的互動和連貫性。根據黃子欽的撰文介紹，他的書籍裝幀作品分為六大類，「不插電」(意旨原始、素樸，以粗糙的材料感表達直接濃烈的庶民情感)、歌德 (浮士德、馬戲團、西洋傀儡戲的格調)、噪音 (拼貼、工業風格) 、耳語 (如同私密的情感絮語) 、搖籃曲 (與回憶有關，時光倒轉的逆時間之旅) 、原聲帶 (像西方電影工業) 、由聽覺出發，比喻為「紙標本」的心跳聲。如果瞳孔接收的影像是視覺的延續，閱書過程則是內到外，身體和書籍的結合。難怪，黃子欽認為紙本的閱讀性跟身體的對話過程給他很大的喜悅跟享受。
□
夢想慾望的載體
黃子欽拒絕被風格定型，「我比較注重作品是否有能量，而且若是發展到很成熟的作品，會自己發散出一種「能量指紋」，當直接跟「能量指紋」產生對話時，其實沒有風格的問題。」他常常以工匠自居，曾寫道「我喜歡做工匠，像個原始人做出一只碗，一把鎚子，或一張椅子，一開始這些東西存在我心中，然後存在這世界。」據說他的家貯存了大量舊物和過期書刊。想像他的創作過程，可能是獨個兒在做木工似的工序，不過這畫面只適用於藝術創作，因為做裝幀設計始終比較像合奏，結合文字、圖像、作者、編輯、材料，而個人創作被他形容為孤獨單音。「藝術和設計都是因一些夢想慾望或衝動而行動，但在量化輸出時，就有很大的不同。創作可以提出有趣的問題，這也可能是最有價值的部份，做書籍裝幀必須先解決大部分的問題，才有提出問題的可能性，但並不表示做書籍裝幀只在解決問題。」這位「工匠」無論在藝術創作還是設計作品也非常著重在書中呈現物料質感和凝結時間，以圖文《不連續記憶體》為例，書本身的造型設計和內容的拼貼作品也以盛載的姿態，讓時間停頓。在他的書籍設計中，時間再不是無形的，透過時代象徵物，時間是空間化的實體。另外，他為作家胡晴舫設計的《城市的憂鬱》，封面是一整排在日常生活中不起眼的物品，它們散落在淺藍，有點像置身於海洋的封面上。最不起眼的細節，是城市寓言的象徵物，與內文配合。
跟他談台灣書籍設計現況，還是有點尷尷尬尬。我站在香港那邊看彼岸，認為對面光景也很不錯，起碼在書店放眼任竄，吸引目光的，大都是來自隔壁小島的出版社。他一談起台灣，就先說日本，「日本的東西其實有點原地踏步，但因為他們有文化厚度，所以即使『我站在這裡不動讓你們來追趕』，也不是台灣用模仿速成的方式可以達到那個水準。台灣和日本文化習慣較接近，所以對日本會有依賴性。但我覺得日本年輕一代的戰鬥續航力其實並不一定比大陸或韓國優多少，因為他們太習慣固定的消費模式。或許有些東西還有可能性，但他們可能會認為『以消費來講已經夠了』這樣的判斷來完成作品，這一方面其實台灣跟日本有點像，但因為台灣的設計精準度沒有那麼要求。在這方面，台灣的設計好像是典型的「非中原文化」，但也不是「邊緣文化」，因為海島型的特色跟西藏、雲南、墨西哥、非洲……等地方特色還是不同，應該比較像奇花異果，是種混血文化，包含閩南文化、中原文化、日本文化、美式文化的混合體。」
□
既快且慢，應對數位時代
我以為，像黃子欽這般對回憶情有獨鍾的設計師，對數位時代，連帶電腦、網路、通訊等資訊科技有一定的反應。不過黃子欽不傾向用「好與不好」去說出觀感。 「大多數人都是用硬體的更新來定位速度，但那是一種進步的假象，硬體的需求其實已遠超過人的實體需要。學習其實是來自一種累積，跟速度沒有絕對的關係，在快速的假像中，書籍裝幀面對紙本市場的示微跟傳媒的改變，一方面要更快，一方面也要更慢，更快是要了解市場的運作機制，更慢是要在這種流速中凸顯某種不變的價值。」我在寫這篇訪問時，仔細觀看他的作品，看那些透明固體藝術品，感受紙本的重量和封存在作品裡的人文情懷。想像一個陽光穿過窗簾爬進來的下午，有一個人，周遭有一大堆舊物和書刊，在他的小屋內，神情十分專注，默默打造下一件新作品。

This is a hand drawn map (c 1932) of Northern New England and Quebec with watercolor illustration. Please go to this photo to see the story of this book.
George Snow's 1872 relief map of the White Mountains in New Hampshire "was produced as a visual aid for schoolchildren. Instead of drawing contour lines over the mountains to show their relative heights," he used papiere-mache to build up the surface to reflect topography." Lake Winnipesaukee is at the bottom. The mass directly above it toward the top is Mount Washington, at 6,288 feet (1,900 m) the highest peak in the northeastern United States.
Quoted from a sign in the Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library, at an exhibit called Crossing Boundaries: Art//Maps.
"The 'Planisphaerium,' from Andreas Cellarius' 1661 atlas of the celestial world, depicts the heavens according to the theories of 2nd-century geographer Claudius Ptolemy. Planetary gods race in chariots through a shimmering sky, while portraits of lauded astronomers adorn the margins. Their theories regarding the stars, planets, sun, moon, and zodiac are recorded throughout the atlas."
Quoted from a sign in the Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library, at an exhibit called Crossing Boundaries: Art//Maps.

/ALEVTINA KAKHIDZE:
IT ONLY LOOKS THE SAME
Opening: May 31st, 7pm
The exhibition runs until June 30th, 2013
Curator: Michal Novotný
The work of artist Alevtina Kakhidze lies between the still valid borders of East and West within Ukraine. It reflects both of those worlds within an anarcho feudalist society: huge geographical differences, a non caring state and extremely wealthy oligarchy. The western European desire is not anymore for the accumulation of goods or property, but rather experiences, visage and brands, regardless of actual promoted quality or real value of production.
Her artwork of a journey to the sky in a private jet plane therefore should not just be read as commentary on the class stratification of Ukrainian society. The price of taking a private jet flight just to see the land from the window is absurd, but however good a joke it is for the oligarch to spend this money which is inconsequential for him, the act also can be read symbolically. In Ukraine some people dispose of the power of taking others into heaven. Alevtina refused to produce drawings from the jet, which was the very reason for the flight in the first place. Not only is this in the frame of "I would prefer not to", Bartleby's passive resistance towards the system, but also a comment on the absurdity of the western post-fordist attitude towards life; to be filled with more new, exotic
and extreme experiences.
Alevtinas position however is neither contra or anti. She doesn't follow the simplification of many western leftist movements, reading everything through the pattern of "us against them", nor is she satisfied with a simple proclamation or illustration of the Eastern European situation as many other "East" labelled artists. While reacting to the situation and actual place, Alevtina instead takes action: opening a residency program in her rural village of Muzychi, creating a business plan independent of the supply/demand rule for local artisanals, or lecturing on Berlin Biennale for collectors. Alevtina is not separating herself from her surroundings, but rather becomes a motor of change. Her reactions are multilayered and complex, as much as the reading of them should be. In her exhibition at FUTURA gallery she therefore presents several of her works in multiple different ways.
Alevtina Kakhidze attended the National Academie Of Fine Art and Architecture in Kiev and Jan van Eyck Academie in the Netherlands. She exhibits in Ukraine as well as internationally since 2002. Alevtina Kakhidze took part on the 7th Berlin Biennale, Kiev Arsenale 2012 among many other solo and group exhibitions and was awarded the Kasimir Malevich artist award in 2008.

"Buckminster Fuller's 'Dymaxion' globe offers an unconventional yet scientific view of the Earth in three dimensions. ... Fuller created the Dymaxion Airocean World Map in 1954 with co-cartographer Shoji Sadao. This projection presents the Earth's land masses as a single island, floating in the ocean, without any obvious distortion of the relative shapes or sizes of the land areas. The projection folds into an icosahedron, or 20-sided polyhedron, offering one solution for the mapmaker's dilemma encountered when depicting a round Earth on a flat map."

The sign for an exhibit called Crossing Boundaries: Art // Maps at the Leventhal Map Center in the Boston Public Library .
An imaginary aerial view of Boston, centering on Beacon Hill and the Massachusetts State House. Since the state house dome was gilded in 1874, this was obviously made prior to that date. The view is to the south, so that the Boston Common, darkened as though in the shadow of a cloud, stretches east to west. We saw this at the Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library, at an exhibit called Crossing Boundaries: Art//Maps.

A "serio-comic" map of Europe that shows a perhaps biased view of international meddling on the Continent in 1899, the Tsar of Russia being the prime meddler. Seen at the Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library, in an exhibit called Crossing Boundaries: Art//Maps.
About the property
One of the architecturally most impressive baroque buildings in the city of Brno, the so-called. Governor's Palace, is the Moravian Gallery in Brno connected only since 1990, when the Brno City Hall (shortly after the dissolution of the Museum of the labor movement) gave this institution.
Currently the first floor houses a permanent exhibition of art from the Gothic to the 19th century, which includes the Cabinet of drawings and prints, and space for temporary exhibitions. The ground floor is reserved for holding large-scale temporary exhibitions. The Governor's Palace houses the Baroque hall with a capacity of 150 seats, which is for special events and temporary exhibitions. There is also a bookstore and gallery cafe ArtMap Morgała.
The history of the building as one of the dominant Moravian (formerly Joštova) square is closely associated with St. Thomas and dates back to the mid-14th century, when it was founded as an Augustinian monastery close to the ramparts of the Moravian Margrave John Henry. Its Current form, however, acquired this building complex both in the 60s of the 17th century (architect Jan Baptist Erna), and especially by the Baroque reconstruction carried out during 30 years in 1752 under the leadership of Brno architect Maurice Grimm, after the end of which the convent was promoted to abbey . Due to Josephine reforms in the early 80s, the Augustinians were forced to move to the Old monastery buildings, in the vacated representative area, renamed "Dikasteriálního palace", for a long time state, municipal and corporate offices were placed. The following alterations, particularly those afflicting mostly the interiors, were designed by the Viennese court architect Franz Anton Hillebrandt. The palace after 1918 served for provincial authorities and as the seat of the President, however, the German protectorate authorities replaced the young Czechoslovak state authorities. Another major milestone in modern history was the decision on the allocation of the Palace to Brněnska labor movement Museum, which possessed the building from 1955 to political changes after November 1989.

A map of Boston, circa 1870, at the entrance to the Leventhal Map Center at the Boston Public Library. We went there to see an exhibit called Crossing Boundaries: Art//Maps.
There's a good chance that sometime in February that I'll be travelling to India for work. That's where i'm pointing on this artmap. I will be travelling to Pune, just east of Mumbai for two weeks.
At least i hope to get some photos! :)
I was slapped around by the judge of one of my early camera club competitions for submitting a photo of a roasting pig that advertised a BBQ restaurant. Taking pictures of other people's art is against the rules. "At least," we were told, "the maker took the shot from a low perspective." (You can tell I am getting over that, can't you?) Not wanting to repeat that mistake, in this shot I made sure to put something of myself into the piece.
Some thoughtful person goes around Somerville with a stencil and a spray can to help us know what's art and what's not. I could not find out who does this, but I did find a wiki-style map sponsored by the Somerville Arts Council. If you spot public art, you can make an entry with the location and what you have been able to learn about the work. I found the map because Google found the "Not Art" tag identifying work to be found at 292 Somerville Avenue. somervilleartscouncil.org/artmap
Thanks to that early judge and the unknown tagger who help us know what's what.

1988 as part of Gateshead Garden Festival, moved to present site in Gateshead Sculpture Park in 1990
The Traffic Light Tree in the London Docklands. The sculpture was created in 1998 by Pierre Vivant and is not supposed to be taken seriously by traffic.
A piece of public art paying homage to the previous architect and shop life of Felling.
It's apparently built on the top of an old bricked-up window and is made out of 250 ceramic tiles, so there you go.
Completed in 1986.

"This artwork is a celebration of the life of James Hill, a 19th Century fiddle player who lived in Gateshead for most of his life. The sculpture is built and carved from Blaxter stone - the same stone used to build the Tyne Bridge wall abutment. Bronze elements are also incorporated into the design.
It includes a fiddle 'leaning' against the wall, an inscription and a bench area. The artwork is sited on Bottle Bank where Hill used to live and overlooks the High Level and Swing Bridge featured in the 'High Level Hornpipe'."

Born in 1941 in Prestatyn, Wales, Barry Flanagan was first introduced to sculpture at the Birmingham College of Arts and crafts, where he was studying architecture. In 1963 he was awarded a scholarship that enabled him to enroll at Saint Martin’s School of Art in London (now Central Saint Martins), where he received a diploma in architecture. His first exhibition was held in 1966 at London’s Rowan Gallery. Several major exhibitions followed, and his work was shown at the 1982 Venice Biennale. Germany’s Kunsthalle Recklinghausen museum mounted a retrospective of his work in 2002. Barry Flanagan died in 2009 in Ibiza, Spain. Tate Britain in London devoted an exhibition to his early works in 2011. His sculptures of exuberant hares, horses, and circus elephants can be found in the collections of the world’s greatest museums, including the Tate, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Musée national d’art moderne at Centre Pompidou in Paris.
