The Whirlpool Galaxy and Beyond

Image Credit & Copyright: Álvaro Ibáñez Pérez

 

Explanation: Follow the handle of the Big Dipper away from the dipper's bowl, until you get to the handle's last bright star. Then, just slide your telescope a little south and west and you might find this stunning pair of interacting galaxies, the 51st entry in Charles Messier's famous catalog. Perhaps the original spiral nebula, the large galaxy with well defined spiral structure is also cataloged as NGC 5194. Its spiral arms and dust lanes clearly sweep in front of its companion galaxy (left), NGC 5195. The pair are about 31 million light-years distant and officially lie within the angular boundaries of the small constellation Canes Venatici. Though M51 looks faint and fuzzy to the human eye, the above long-exposure, deep-field image taken earlier this year shows much of the faint complexity that actually surrounds the smaller galaxy. Thousands of the faint dots in background of the featured image are actually galaxies far across the universe.

Εισαγωγή

Εκκλησιαστικοί ύμνοι

Χριστιανικά τραγούδια | Ευλογημένοι είναι αυτοί που δέχονται το νέο έργο του Θεού

 

Στο λόγο του όσους υπακούνε

 

το Άγιο Πνεύμα ευλογεί.

 

Δεν έχει σημασία πώς ήταν,

 

πώς τ’ Άγιο Πνεύμα

 

εργαζόταν σ' αυτούς.

 

Ευλογημένοι το πρόσφατο έργο Του

 

όσοι κέρδισαν.

 

(Μόνο αυτοί) -

 

όσοι δεν μπορούν θα εξαλείφονται.

 

Τώρα οι άνθρωποι αυτοί,

 

που δέχτηκαν το νέο έργο Του,

 

γι’ αυτό προορίζονταν προαιώνια,

 

κι είναι οι πιο

 

ευλογημένοι απ’ όλους.

 

Ακούτε τη φωνή του Θεού

 

μαρτυρείτε την εμφάνιση Αυτού.

 

Γενιές στους αιώνες,

 

σε γη κι ουρανό,

 

κανείς, πιο ευλογημένος από σάς.

 

Σαν αγνός παρθένος,

 

δέξου νέα πράγματα,

 

το Άγιο Πνεύμα αναζήτα,

 

παραμερίζοντας παλιές αντιλήψεις

 

υπακούοντας στο έργο του Θεού.

 

Ο Θεός θέλει όσους

 

δέχονται το νέο φως

 

κι όσους δέχονται

 

το πρόσφατο έργο Του.

 

Τώρα οι άνθρωποι αυτοί,

 

που δέχτηκαν το νέο έργο Του,

 

γι’ αυτό προορίζονταν προαιώνια,

 

κι είναι οι πιο

 

ευλογημένοι απ’ όλους.

 

Ακούτε τη φωνή του Θεού

 

μαρτυρείτε την εμφάνιση Αυτού.

 

Γενιές στους αιώνες,

 

σε γη κι ουρανό,

 

κανείς, πιο ευλογημένος από σάς.

Χριστιανικά τραγούδια

Theme: INSPIRED BY A BOOK/MOVIE/POEM

This is inspired by Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.

 

It was a pleasure to burn.

It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed.

Ray Bradbury

 

"You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them."

Ray Bradbury

  

"Era una gioia appiccare il fuoco.

Era una gioia speciale vedere le cose divorate, vederle annerite, diverse.”

 

"Per distruggere una cultura non c'è bisogno di bruciare i libri: è sufficiente indurre la gente a non leggerli più."

Ray Bradbury

 

Shot taken for the Igp Project Photographer. The theme of the challenge this week was: "Inspired by a book/movie/poem".

 

Things I've been asked:

Did you burn a book for real? Well, yes and I did not like it...even though this was not a real, published book, but a promotional one.

 

See it on Fluidr.

Σχετικά λόγια του Θεού:

«Κατά την πρώτη ενσάρκωσήTου, ήταν απαραίτητο για τον Θεό να θεραπεύει τους αρρώστους και να εκβάλει τους δαίμονες, επειδή το έργο Του ήταν να λυτρώσει. Προκειμένου να λυτρώσει το σύνολο της ανθρώπινης φυλής, έπρεπε να είναι φιλεύσπλαχνος και ελεήμων. Το έργο που Εκείνος έκανε πριν σταυρωθεί ήταν να θεραπεύει τους αρρώστους και να εκβάλει τους δαίμονες, πράγμα που προμήνυε τη σωτηρία Του για τον άνθρωπο από την αμαρτία και την ακαθαρσία. Επειδή ήταν η Εποχή της Χάριτος, ήταν απαραίτητο για Αυτόν να θεραπεύει τους αρρώστους, επιδεικνύοντας έτσι σημεία και τέρατα, τα οποία αντιπροσώπευαν τη χάρη σε εκείνη την εποχή. Διότι η Εποχή της Χάριτος επικεντρώνεται γύρω από την απονομή χάριτος, η οποία συμβολίζεται από την ειρήνη, τη χαρά και τις υλικές ευλογίες, όλα σύμβολα της πίστης των ανθρώπων στον Ιησού

Απόσπασμα από το κεφάλαιο «Η ουσία της σάρκας που κατοικείται από τον Θεό»

Liberty Belle B-17 Flying Fortress - On display at the Rocky Mountain Metro Airport, Broomfield, Colorado.

 

History of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress (www.libertyfoundation.org)

 

The Boeing B-17 is by far the most famous bomber of World War II. In 1934 the Boeing Aircraft Company of Seattle Washington began construction of a four engine heavy bomber. Known as the Model -299, first flight was achieved on July 28th 1935. As a result, the U.S. Government placed an order for production of 13 of these aircraft and began to take delivery of the 13 production aircraft between January 11th and August 4th 1937.

 

The B-17, dubbed the “Flying Fortress” as a result of her amount of defensive firepower, underwent a number of improvements over its ten-year production run. B-17 Models ranged from the YB-17 to the B-17G model. Throughout the war the B-17 was refined and improved as the combat experience showed the Boeing designers where improvements could be made. The Final B-17 production model, the B-17G was produced in the largest quantities (8,680) than any other previous model and is considered the definitive “Flying Fortress”. With its 13 .50-caliber machine guns, Chin, top, ball and tail turrets; waist and cheek guns the B-17 was indeed an airplane that earned the respect of its combatants. In addition, the flight crews loved the B-17 for her ability to take and withstand heavy combat damage and return safely home.

 

During WWII, the B-17 saw service in every theater of operation, but was operated primarily by the 8th Air force in Europe and participated in countless missions from bases in England. A typical B-17 Mission often lasted for more than eight hours and struck targets deep within enemy territory. During the war, B-17’s dropped 640,036 tons of bombs on European targets in daylight raids. This compares to the 452,508 tons dropped by the B-24 and 464,544 tons dropped by all other U.S. aircraft. The B-17 also downed 23 enemy aircraft per 1,000 raid as compared with 11 by B-24’s and 11 by fighters and three by all U.S. medium and light bombers.

 

There were a total of 12,732 B-17’s that were produced between 1935 and May 1945. Of these 4,735 were lost in combat. Following WWII, the B-17 saw service in three more wars. B-17’s were used in Korea, Israel used them in the war of 1948 and they were even used during Vietnam.

 

Today, fewer than 100 B-17 airframes exist and fewer still are in airworthy condition. At one time, more than 1000 B-17’s could be assembled for mass combat missions, now less than 15 of Boeings famous bombers can still take to the sky.

The Smith Family Log Cabin Home - where Joseph Smith lived in 1820, near Palmyra, NY. (This re-creation of the Smith family cabin stands on the same location as the original.) The forest behind the cabin is know as the "Sacred Grove."

 

The large Sugar Maple tree in the foreground is believed to be older than the original cabin. It was struck by lightning in the summer of 2008, and is no longer standing! The Smiths tapped about 1,500 maple trees each season to produce an average of 1,000 pounds of sugar; and most of those maple trees grew in this grove.

 

This photograph was taken in May. No fancy, HDR software manipulation--just general photoshop adjustments and good photography skills.

 

You can also view a slide show of the Sacred Grove and the Smith Farm (lots of information, maps and other details) at www.thefirstvision.com/.

Ενσάρκωση

Ο Θεός λέει:«Ο Θεός ενσαρκώθηκε επειδή το αντικείμενο του έργου Του δεν είναι το πνεύμα του Σατανά ή οποιοδήποτε άυλο πράγμα, αλλά ο άνθρωπος, ο οποίος είναι από σάρκα και έχει διαφθαρεί από τον Σατανά. Ακριβώς επειδή η σάρκα του ανθρώπου έχει διαφθαρεί, ο Θεός έχει κάνει τον σαρκικό άνθρωπο αντικείμενο του έργου Του. Εξάλλου, επειδή ο άνθρωπος είναι το αντικείμενο της διαφθοράς, έχει κάνει τον άνθρωπο το μοναδικό αντικείμενο του έργου Του σε όλα τα στάδια του έργου της σωτηρίας Του. Ο άνθρωπος είναι θνητός, είναι από σάρκα και οστά, και ο Θεός είναι ο μόνος που μπορεί να σώσει τον άνθρωπο. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο, ο Θεός πρέπει να ενσαρκωθεί και να έχει τα ίδια χαρακτηριστικά με τον άνθρωπο για να κάνει το έργο Του, ώστε το έργο Του να φέρει καλύτερα αποτελέσματα. Ο Θεός πρέπει να ενσαρκωθεί για να κάνει το έργο Του, ακριβώς επειδή ο άνθρωπος είναι από σάρκα και ανίκανος να νικήσει την αμαρτία ή να απαλλαγεί από τη σάρκα. Παρόλο που η ουσία και η ταυτότητα του ενσαρκωμένου Θεού διαφέρουν πολύ από την ουσία και την ταυτότητα του ανθρώπου, η εμφάνισή Του είναι ίδια με εκείνη του ανθρώπου, έχει την εμφάνιση ενός κανονικού ατόμου και διάγει τον βίο ενός κανονικού ατόμου και όσοι Τον βλέπουν, δεν μπορούν να διακρίνουν κάποια διαφορά ανάμεσά σ’ Αυτόν και σε ένα κανονικό άτομο. Αυτή η κανονική εμφάνιση και η κανονική ανθρώπινη φύση αρκούν για να επιτελέσει το θεϊκό έργο Του στην κανονική ανθρώπινη φύση. Η σάρκα Του του επιτρέπει να κάνει το έργο Του στην κανονική ανθρώπινη φύση και Τον βοηθά να κάνει το έργο Του ανάμεσα στους ανθρώπους, και η κανονική ανθρώπινη φύση Του, επίσης, Τον βοηθά να εκτελέσει το έργο της σωτηρίας ανάμεσα στους ανθρώπους. ... »

This is an exceptional portrait which depicts the aged Titian on the left above a wolf's head, his son Orazio in the centre above the head of a lion, and his nephew Marco above a dog's head. The wolf, the lion and the dog, symbolize the past, present and future. In the upper part of the painting there is an inscription which is the key to the complex allegorical meaning of the work: "EX PRAETERITO PRAESENS PRUDENTER AGIT, NI FUTURUM ACTIONE DETURPET" ("From the (experience of the) past, the present acts prudently, lest it spoil future action").

 

Though it was common enough during the Renaissance to use three human heads to symbolize the ages of man, and to use three animal heads to symbolize prudence, it was very unusual to use them as the theme of a painting. As Titian used personal motifs, it can be assumed that he chose the subject matter himself.

*******************************************************************************

 

The Allegory of Prudence (c. 1550–1565) is an oil-on-canvas painting attributed to the Italian artist Titian and his assistants. The painting portrays three human heads, each facing in a different direction, above three animal heads (from left to right, a wolf, a lion and a dog). It is in the National Gallery, London.[1]

 

The painting is usually interpreted as operating on a number of levels.[2][3] At the first level, the different ages of the three human heads represent the three ages of man (from left to right: old age, maturity and youth), a subject that Titian had depicted 50 years earlier in his The Three Ages of Man. The different directions in which they are facing reflect a second, wider concept of time itself as having a past, present and future. This theme is repeated in the animal heads: an animal with three heads (wolf, lion, dog) to represent the passage of time (past, present, future) is associated with Serapis in Macrobius's Saturnalia, and associated with Apollo by Petrarch, and the iconography is repeated for example in the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili of Francesco Colonna (1499), the Hieroglyphica of Pierio Valeriano (1556), and the Iconologia of Cesare Ripa (1643). The third level, from which the painting has acquired its present name, is suggested by a barely visible inscription above the portraits: EX PRÆTE/RITO // PRÆSENS PRVDEN/TER AGIT // NI FVTVRA / ACTIONĒ DE/TVRPET (Latin for "from the experience of the past, the present acts prudently, lest it spoil future actions".)

 

It has been argued that the human faces are actual portraits of the aged Titian, his son Orazio, and his young nephew, Marco Vecellio, who, like Orazio, lived and worked with Titian.[4] Erwin Panofsky, in his classic exposition, suggests that the painting is specifically associated with the negotiations associated with the passing on of Titian's property to the younger generations, in the light of his approaching death. The painting therefore acts as a visual counsel to the three generations to act prudently in the administration of the inheritance. Nicholas Penny is, however, highly sceptical of this, and points out discrepancies between the human heads and other evidence of the individuals' appearance. He doubts it was a personal project of any sort and feels that is "surely more likely that the painting was commissioned".[5] Others are also of the opinion that the three heads are not Titian and his family. One reason is that there are no portraits of Orazio or Marco, so confirmation that they are the figures is difficult.[6]

 

More recently the painting has been explained in quite different ways. Instead of an allegory of prudence, it has been seen as an allegory about sin and penitence. On this view, it amounts to an admission by Titian that his failure to act prudently in his youth and middle age has condemned him to lead a regretful old age.[7]

 

At the other extreme, the painting has been explained as asserting that the prudence which comes with experience and old age is an essential aspect of artistic discrimination and judgement. On this interpretation, the painting therefore acts as a rebuttal of the view that old age is the enemy of artistic achievement. On a more general level, the painting's depiction of Titian with his assistants Orazio and Marco is also intended as a defence of the prudence of the continuity of the Venetian workshop tradition.[8]

bestpauljaisini.blogspot.com/2015/01/muse-gif-1.html The art conundrum; the disconnect between society and art establishment

  

Celebrity art dealers artists and art collectors have become superstars of such caliber F. Scott Fitzgerald would’t imagine in a wildest Great Gatsby's wet dream.

The breathtaking fables of high-flying multi-million art deals inspire the sensational and entertaining articles to be written by the writers who could barely earn a living nowadays. How many people, however, actually become the art lovers learning about the adventures of the glitzy art stars? None.

  

The art world is a lonely Narcissus that admires the own reflection. But desperately wants the public affection and attention unwilling to admit the need of new source for awe. Or how many art critics made a serious attempt to explain in written word the post post-modern art scene?

What about the artists… is next thought that comes to mind. Maybe this whole problem of art turning into a very sexy fast-money exchange business is due the bad quality artists?

Even television tried to popularize art in the attempt to create a show who wants to be the next American top model I mean artist. But the public only grow less interested, more so, the public wants to take over the art franchise after the so-called digital revolution. Masses of people who could never touch a camera for variety of reasons now turn to photography. For instance, 300 million photographs are uploaded every minute to Facebook, The numbers have power the sheer grandiosity. And yet the art world tries to keep its cool. And more so, continues to be disconnected.

  

Which could be good or bad depending how one looks at it. Good in a sense of art preservation, not good for survival of the franchise. In most recent global social phenomenon there’s a new traits of human behavior that present a real threat to what is known as highly developed Western culture.

Biennalist :

Biennalist is an Art Format commenting on active biennials and managed cultural events through artworks.Biennalist takes the thematics of the biennales and similar events like festivals and conferences seriously, questioning the established structures of the staged art events in order to contribute to the debate, which they wish to generate.

—--Biennale from wikipedia —--

 

The Venice International Film Festival is part of the Venice Biennale. The famous Golden Lion is awarded to the best film screening at the competition.

Biennale (Italian: [bi.enˈnaːle]), Italian for "biennial" or "every other year", is any event that happens every two years. It is most commonly used within the art world to describe large-scale international contemporary art exhibitions. As such the term was popularised by Venice Biennale, which was first held in 1895. Since the 1990s, the terms "biennale" and "biennial" have been interchangeably used in a more generic way - to signify a large-scale international survey show of contemporary art that recurs at regular intervals but not necessarily biannual (such as triennials, Documenta, Skulptur Projekte Münster).[1] The phrase has also been used for other artistic events, such as the "Biennale de Paris", "Kochi-Muziris Biennale", Berlinale (for the Berlin International Film Festival) and Viennale (for Vienna's international film festival).

Characteristics[edit]

According to author Federica Martini, what is at stake in contemporary biennales is the diplomatic/international relations potential as well as urban regeneration plans. Besides being mainly focused on the present (the “here and now” where the cultural event takes place and their effect of "spectacularisation of the everyday"), because of their site-specificity cultural events may refer back to,[who?] produce or frame the history of the site and communities' collective memory.[2]

 

The Great Exhibition in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, in 1851, the first attempt to condense the representation of the world within a unitary exhibition space.

A strong and influent symbol of biennales and of large-scale international exhibitions in general is the Crystal Palace, the gigantic and futuristic London architecture that hosted the Great Exhibition in 1851. According to philosopher Peter Sloterdijk,[3][page needed] the Crystal Palace is the first attempt to condense the representation of the world in a unitary exhibition space, where the main exhibit is society itself in an a-historical, spectacular condition. The Crystal Palace main motives were the affirmation of British economic and national leadership and the creation of moments of spectacle. In this respect, 19th century World fairs provided a visual crystallization of colonial culture and were, at the same time, forerunners of contemporary theme parks.

The Venice Biennale as an archetype[edit]

 

The structure of the Venice Biennale in 2005 with an international exhibition and the national pavilions.

The Venice Biennale, a periodical large-scale cultural event founded in 1895, served as an archetype of the biennales. Meant to become a World Fair focused on contemporary art, the Venice Biennale used as a pretext the wedding anniversary of the Italian king and followed up to several national exhibitions organised after Italy unification in 1861. The Biennale immediately put forth issues of city marketing, cultural tourism and urban regeneration, as it was meant to reposition Venice on the international cultural map after the crisis due to the end of the Grand Tour model and the weakening of the Venetian school of painting. Furthermore, the Gardens where the Biennale takes place were an abandoned city area that needed to be re-functionalised. In cultural terms, the Biennale was meant to provide on a biennial basis a platform for discussing contemporary art practices that were not represented in fine arts museums at the time. The early Biennale model already included some key points that are still constitutive of large-scale international art exhibitions today: a mix of city marketing, internationalism, gentrification issues and destination culture, and the spectacular, large scale of the event.

Biennials after the 1990s[edit]

The situation of biennials has changed in the contemporary context: while at its origin in 1895 Venice was a unique cultural event, but since the 1990s hundreds of biennials have been organized across the globe. Given the ephemeral and irregular nature of some biennials, there is little consensus on the exact number of biennials in existence at any given time.[citation needed] Furthermore, while Venice was a unique agent in the presentation of contemporary art, since the 1960s several museums devoted to contemporary art are exhibiting the contemporary scene on a regular basis. Another point of difference concerns 19th century internationalism in the arts, that was brought into question by post-colonial debates and criticism of the contemporary art “ethnic marketing”, and also challenged the Venetian and World Fair’s national representation system. As a consequence of this, Eurocentric tendency to implode the whole word in an exhibition space, which characterises both the Crystal Palace and the Venice Biennale, is affected by the expansion of the artistic geographical map to scenes traditionally considered as marginal. The birth of the Havana Biennial in 1984 is widely considered an important counterpoint to the Venetian model for its prioritization of artists working in the Global South and curatorial rejection of the national pavilion model.

—---Venice Biennale from wikipedia —

 

The Venice Biennale (/ˌbiːɛˈnɑːleɪ, -li/; Italian: La Biennale di Venezia) is an international cultural exhibition hosted annually in Venice, Italy by the Biennale Foundation.[2][3][4] The biennale has been organised every year since 1895, which makes it the oldest of its kind. The main exhibition held in Castello, in the halls of the Arsenale and Biennale Gardens, alternates between art and architecture (hence the name biennale; biennial).[5][6][7] The other events hosted by the Foundation—spanning theatre, music, and dance—are held annually in various parts of Venice, whereas the Venice Film Festival takes place at the Lido.[8]

History

1895–1947

On April 19, 1893, the Venetian City Council passed a resolution to set up an biennial exhibition of Italian Art ("Esposizione biennale artistica nazionale") to celebrate the silver anniversary of King Umberto I and Margherita of Savoy.[11]

A year later, the council decreed "to adopt a 'by invitation' system; to reserve a section of the Exhibition for foreign artists too; to admit works by uninvited Italian artists, as selected by a jury."[12]

The first Biennale, "I Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte della Città di Venezia (1st International Art Exhibition of the City of Venice)" (although originally scheduled for April 22, 1894) was opened on April 30, 1895, by the Italian King and Queen, Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia. The first exhibition was seen by 224,000 visitors.

The event became increasingly international in the first decades of the 20th century: from 1907 on, several countries installed national pavilions at the exhibition, with the first being from Belgium. In 1910 the first internationally well-known artists were displayed: a room dedicated to Gustav Klimt, a one-man show for Renoir, a retrospective of Courbet. A work by Picasso "Family of Saltimbanques" was removed from the Spanish salon in the central Palazzo because it was feared that its novelty might shock the public. By 1914 seven pavilions had been established: Belgium (1907), Hungary (1909), Germany (1909), Great Britain (1909), France (1912), and Russia (1914).

During World War I, the 1916 and 1918 events were cancelled.[13] In 1920 the post of mayor of Venice and president of the Biennale was split. The new secretary general, Vittorio Pica brought about the first presence of avant-garde art, notably Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.

1922 saw an exhibition of sculpture by African artists. Between the two World Wars, many important modern artists had their work exhibited there. In 1928 the Istituto Storico d'Arte Contemporanea (Historical Institute of Contemporary Art) opened, which was the first nucleus of archival collections of the Biennale. In 1930 its name was changed into Historical Archive of Contemporary Art.

In 1930, the Biennale was transformed into an Ente Autonomo (Autonomous Board) by Royal Decree with law no. 33 of 13-1-1930. Subsequently, the control of the Biennale passed from the Venice city council to the national Fascist government under Benito Mussolini. This brought on a restructuring, an associated financial boost, as well as a new president, Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata. Three entirely new events were established, including the Biennale Musica in 1930, also referred to as International Festival of Contemporary Music; the Venice Film Festival in 1932, which they claim as the first film festival in history,[14] also referred to as Venice International Film Festival; and the Biennale Theatro in 1934, also referred to as International Theatre Festival.

In 1933 the Biennale organized an exhibition of Italian art abroad. From 1938, Grand Prizes were awarded in the art exhibition section.

During World War II, the activities of the Biennale were interrupted: 1942 saw the last edition of the events. The Film Festival restarted in 1946, the Music and Theatre festivals were resumed in 1947, and the Art Exhibition in 1948.[15]

1948–1973[edit]

The Art Biennale was resumed in 1948 with a major exhibition of a recapitulatory nature. The Secretary General, art historian Rodolfo Pallucchini, started with the Impressionists and many protagonists of contemporary art including Chagall, Klee, Braque, Delvaux, Ensor, and Magritte, as well as a retrospective of Picasso's work. Peggy Guggenheim was invited to exhibit her collection, later to be permanently housed at Ca' Venier dei Leoni.

1949 saw the beginning of renewed attention to avant-garde movements in European—and later worldwide—movements in contemporary art. Abstract expressionism was introduced in the 1950s, and the Biennale is credited with importing Pop Art into the canon of art history by awarding the top prize to Robert Rauschenberg in 1964.[16] From 1948 to 1972, Italian architect Carlo Scarpa did a series of remarkable interventions in the Biennale's exhibition spaces.

In 1954 the island San Giorgio Maggiore provided the venue for the first Japanese Noh theatre shows in Europe. 1956 saw the selection of films following an artistic selection and no longer based upon the designation of the participating country. The 1957 Golden Lion went to Satyajit Ray's Aparajito which introduced Indian cinema to the West.

1962 included Arte Informale at the Art Exhibition with Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung, Emilio Vedova, and Pietro Consagra. The 1964 Art Exhibition introduced continental Europe to Pop Art (The Independent Group had been founded in Britain in 1952). The American Robert Rauschenberg was the first American artist to win the Gran Premio, and the youngest to date.

The student protests of 1968 also marked a crisis for the Biennale. Student protests hindered the opening of the Biennale. A resulting period of institutional changes opened and ending with a new Statute in 1973. In 1969, following the protests, the Grand Prizes were abandoned. These resumed in 1980 for the Mostra del Cinema and in 1986 for the Art Exhibition.[17]

In 1972, for the first time, a theme was adopted by the Biennale, called "Opera o comportamento" ("Work or Behaviour").

Starting from 1973 the Music Festival was no longer held annually. During the year in which the Mostra del Cinema was not held, there was a series of "Giornate del cinema italiano" (Days of Italian Cinema) promoted by sectorial bodies in campo Santa Margherita, in Venice.[18]

1974–1998[edit]

1974 saw the start of the four-year presidency of Carlo Ripa di Meana. The International Art Exhibition was not held (until it was resumed in 1976). Theatre and cinema events were held in October 1974 and 1975 under the title Libertà per il Cile (Freedom for Chile)—a major cultural protest against the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

On 15 November 1977, the so-called Dissident Biennale (in reference to the dissident movement in the USSR) opened. Because of the ensuing controversies within the Italian left wing parties, president Ripa di Meana resigned at the end of the year.[19]

In 1979 the new presidency of Giuseppe Galasso (1979-1982) began. The principle was laid down whereby each of the artistic sectors was to have a permanent director to organise its activity.

In 1980, the Architecture section of the Biennale was set up. The director, Paolo Portoghesi, opened the Corderie dell'Arsenale to the public for the first time. At the Mostra del Cinema, the awards were brought back into being (between 1969 and 1979, the editions were non-competitive). In 1980, Achille Bonito Oliva and Harald Szeemann introduced "Aperto", a section of the exhibition designed to explore emerging art. Italian art historian Giovanni Carandente directed the 1988 and 1990 editions. A three-year gap was left afterwards to make sure that the 1995 edition would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Biennale.[13]

The 1993 edition was directed by Achille Bonito Oliva. In 1995, Jean Clair was appointed to be the Biennale's first non-Italian director of visual arts[20] while Germano Celant served as director in 1997.

For the Centenary in 1995, the Biennale promoted events in every sector of its activity: the 34th Festival del Teatro, the 46th art exhibition, the 46th Festival di Musica, the 52nd Mostra del Cinema.[21]

1999–present[edit]

In 1999 and 2001, Harald Szeemann directed two editions in a row (48th & 49th) bringing in a larger representation of artists from Asia and Eastern Europe and more young artists than usual and expanded the show into several newly restored spaces of the Arsenale.

In 1999 a new sector was created for live shows: DMT (Dance Music Theatre).

The 50th edition, 2003, directed by Francesco Bonami, had a record number of seven co-curators involved, including Hans Ulrich Obrist, Catherine David, Igor Zabel, Hou Hanru and Massimiliano Gioni.

The 51st edition of the Biennale opened in June 2005, curated, for the first time by two women, Maria de Corral and Rosa Martinez. De Corral organized "The Experience of Art" which included 41 artists, from past masters to younger figures. Rosa Martinez took over the Arsenale with "Always a Little Further." Drawing on "the myth of the romantic traveler" her exhibition involved 49 artists, ranging from the elegant to the profane.

In 2007, Robert Storr became the first director from the United States to curate the Biennale (the 52nd), with a show entitled Think with the Senses – Feel with the Mind. Art in the Present Tense.

Swedish curator Daniel Birnbaum was artistic director of the 2009 edition entitled "Fare Mondi // Making Worlds".

The 2011 edition was curated by Swiss curator Bice Curiger entitled "ILLUMInazioni – ILLUMInations".

The Biennale in 2013 was curated by the Italian Massimiliano Gioni. His title and theme, Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace, was adopted from an architectural model by the self-taught Italian-American artist Marino Auriti. Auriti's work, The Encyclopedic Palace of the World was lent by the American Folk Art Museum and exhibited in the first room of the Arsenale for the duration of the biennale. For Gioni, Auriti's work, "meant to house all worldly knowledge, bringing together the greatest discoveries of the human race, from the wheel to the satellite," provided an analogous figure for the "biennale model itself...based on the impossible desire to concentrate the infinite worlds of contemporary art in a single place: a task that now seems as dizzyingly absurd as Auriti's dream."[22]

Curator Okwui Enwezor was responsible for the 2015 edition.[23] He was the first African-born curator of the biennial. As a catalyst for imagining different ways of imagining multiple desires and futures Enwezor commissioned special projects and programs throughout the Biennale in the Giardini. This included a Creative Time Summit, e-flux journal's SUPERCOMMUNITY, Gulf Labor Coalition, The Invisible Borders Trans-African Project and Abounaddara.[24][25]

The 2017 Biennale, titled Viva Arte Viva, was directed by French curator Christine Macel who called it an "exhibition inspired by humanism".[26] German artist Franz Erhard Walter won the Golden Lion for best artist, while Carolee Schneemann was awarded a posthumous Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[27]

The 2019 Biennale, titled May You Live In Interesting Times, was directed by American-born curator Ralph Rugoff.[28]

The 2022 edition was curated by Italian curator Cecilia Alemani entitled "The Milk of Dreams" after a book by British-born Mexican surrealist painter Leonora Carrington.[29]

The Biennale has an attendance today of over 500,000 visitors.[30][31][32]

Role in the art market[edit]

When the Venice Biennale was founded in 1895, one of its main goals was to establish a new market for contemporary art. Between 1942 and 1968 a sales office assisted artists in finding clients and selling their work,[33] a service for which it charged 10% commission. Sales remained an intrinsic part of the biennale until 1968, when a sales ban was enacted. An important practical reason why the focus on non-commodities has failed to decouple Venice from the market is that the biennale itself lacks the funds to produce, ship and install these large-scale works. Therefore, the financial involvement of dealers is widely regarded as indispensable;[16] as they regularly front the funding for production of ambitious projects.[34] Furthermore, every other year the Venice Biennale coincides with nearby Art Basel, the world's prime commercial fair for modern and contemporary art. Numerous galleries with artists on show in Venice usually bring work by the same artists to Basel.[35]

Central Pavilion and Arsenale[edit]

The formal Biennale is based at a park, the Giardini. The Giardini includes a large exhibition hall that houses a themed exhibition curated by the Biennale's director.

Initiated in 1980, the Aperto began as a fringe event for younger artists and artists of a national origin not represented by the permanent national pavilions. This is usually staged in the Arsenale and has become part of the formal biennale programme. In 1995 there was no Aperto so a number of participating countries hired venues to show exhibitions of emerging artists. From 1999, both the international exhibition and the Aperto were held as one exhibition, held both at the Central Pavilion and the Arsenale. Also in 1999, a $1 million renovation transformed the Arsenale area into a cluster of renovated shipyards, sheds and warehouses, more than doubling the Arsenale's exhibition space of previous years.[36]

A special edition of the 54th Biennale was held at Padiglione Italia of Torino Esposizioni – Sala Nervi (December 2011 – February 2012) for the 150th Anniversary of Italian Unification. The event was directed by Vittorio Sgarbi.[37]

National pavilions[edit]

Main article: National pavilions at the Venice Biennale

The Giardini houses 30 permanent national pavilions.[13] Alongside the Central Pavilion, built in 1894 and later restructured and extended several times, the Giardini are occupied by a further 29 pavilions built at different periods by the various countries participating in the Biennale. The first nation to build a pavilion was Belgium in 1907, followed by Germany, Britain and Hungary in 1909.[13] The pavilions are the property of the individual countries and are managed by their ministries of culture.[38]

Countries not owning a pavilion in the Giardini are exhibited in other venues across Venice. The number of countries represented is still growing. In 2005, China was showing for the first time, followed by the African Pavilion and Mexico (2007), the United Arab Emirates (2009), and India (2011).[39]

The assignment of the permanent pavilions was largely dictated by the international politics of the 1930s and the Cold War. There is no single format to how each country manages their pavilion, established and emerging countries represented at the biennial maintain and fund their pavilions in different ways.[38] While pavilions are usually government-funded, private money plays an increasingly large role; in 2015, the pavilions of Iraq, Ukraine and Syria were completely privately funded.[40] The pavilion for Great Britain is always managed by the British Council[41] while the United States assigns the responsibility to a public gallery chosen by the Department of State which, since 1985, has been the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.[42] The countries at the Arsenale that request a temporary exhibition space pay a hire fee per square meter.[38]

In 2011, the countries were Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Congo, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czechia and Slovakia, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Haiti, Hungary, Iceland, India, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Mexico, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syrian Arab Republic, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela, Wales and Zimbabwe. In addition to this there are two collective pavilions: Central Asia Pavilion and Istituto Italo-Latino Americano. In 2013, eleven new participant countries developed national pavilions for the Biennale: Angola, Bosnia and Herzegowina, the Bahamas, Bahrain, the Ivory Coast, Kosovo, Kuwait, the Maldives, Paraguay, Tuvalu, and the Holy See. In 2015, five new participant countries developed pavilions for the Biennale: Grenada,[43] Republic of Mozambique, Republic of Seychelles, Mauritius and Mongolia. In 2017, three countries participated in the Art Biennale for the first time: Antigua & Barbuda, Kiribati, and Nigeria.[44] In 2019, four countries participated in the Art Biennale for the first time: Ghana, Madagascar, Malaysia, and Pakistan.[45]

As well as the national pavilions there are countless "unofficial pavilions"[46] that spring up every year. In 2009 there were pavilions such as the Gabon Pavilion and a Peckham pavilion. In 2017 The Diaspora Pavilion bought together 19 artists from complex, multinational backgrounds to challenge the prevalence of the nation state at the Biennale.[47]

The Internet Pavilion (Italian: Padiglione Internet) was founded in 2009 as a platform for activists and artists working in new media.[48][49][50] Subsequent editions were held since,[51] 2013,[51] in conjunction with the biennale.[52]

The saying “all knees and elbows” is often attributed to someone who has yet to mature or fully grow into their frame. Nature, likewise, goes through a similar stage in spring when the forest has yet to mature into its summer greens and much of what you see is all branches and mud and chaos. This can be a huge challenge during the seasonal shift for landscape photographers considering one of the primary goals of the craft is to reduce nature’s chaos and confusion into one, easily readable, so-called “clean” frame, free from distractions. Being somewhat naturally inclined to question guidelines and to gently poke at their limits, I often shoot scenes that I know at the moment of capture are not going to be received well by those who find comfort in the well-worn confines of the sandbox or who otherwise like to position themselves as the gatekeepers to the status quo. Most of my attempts in this vain are failures, rightfully so, but fun nonetheless. Some, on the other hand, come out personally satisfying, although still largely rejected by the critics and powers that be who stand between an image and its ability to reach market. This photograph is one that appears to be falling into the latter category.

 

The Occoquan Stream Valley accessed via the Occoquan-Bull Run National Recreational Trail comes alive in the spring season with Virginia Bluebells, a seasonal ephemeral wildflower that paints the forest floor with a carpet of blues and light pink hues. Being an ephemeral though, these guys have to sneak in before the canopy leafs out and steals all of the sunshine from the forest floor. By late May these flowers are all but completely gone, like an illusion, only to return again next spring. Thus, when the Bluebells poke through the ground in early spring much of the surrounding environment is scraggly branches, ample boot-sucking mud, and otherwise nature’s awkward early-season “knees and elbows.” Macro opportunities abound for the small-scene inclined, but contextual landscapes are complicated at best. A few things I learned this season, my first concertedly chasing a few photographs of these wildflowers: my initial thought that overcast and calm weather would provide the most optimal conditions for getting a pop of color were somewhat misguided. I found that late evening or early morning sun on a clear day made for the most dramatic spring scenic, as looking into the light provided for beautiful backlit spring green leaves. Once I thought about this it made perfect sense: sunlight is the driver of spring growth and thus an essential element in any composition that speaks towards the story of the season. However, any light on the bluebells would cause blowouts with exposure and thus, I went in search for late evening light that would make the newly minted spring green understory dance, while also being at such an angle as to mostly shade the delicate bluebells to maintain an even single-exposure. This proved to be a strategy that I continued to follow at both sun-up and sun-down for several days with mild to moderate success.

 

The resultant shot, what you see above/below, has been confirmed thus far by the critics and gatekeepers as poor composition and of little value to the commercial photography market. However, I find it honest and authentic to the chaos that is spring, and thus, for me personally, a satisfying take-away from a week of shooting. It could certainly be better, but then again, what photograph have you ever really taken that couldn’t be improved?

 

Have a wonderful weekend folks! Get outside if you can and enjoy the season!
