artist Thierry Geoffroy creates art formats

aim to develop awareness muscle

 

during Venice Biennale 2019

 

The Exhibition will develop from the Central Pavilion (Giardini) to the Arsenale, and will include 79 artists from all over the world.

 

Ralph Rugoff has declared: «May You Live in Interesting Times will no doubt include artworks that reflect upon precarious aspects of existence today, including different threats to key traditions, institutions and relationships of the “post-war order.” But let us acknowledge at the outset that art does not exercise its forces in the domain of politics. Art cannot stem the rise of nationalist movements and authoritarian governments in different parts of the world, for instance, nor can it alleviate the tragic fate of displaced peoples across the globe (whose numbers now represent almost one percent of the world’s entire population).»

Ralph Rugoff has declared: «May You Live in Interesting Times will no doubt include artworks that reflect upon precarious aspects of existence today, including different threats to key traditions, institutions and relationships of the “post-war order.” But let us acknowledge at the outset that art does not exercise its forces in the domain of politics. Art cannot stem the rise of nationalist movements and authoritarian governments in different parts of the world, for instance, nor can it alleviate the tragic fate of displaced peoples across the globe (whose numbers now represent almost one percent of the world’s entire population).»

Ο Θεός λέει: «Αν επιθυμείς να ζεις μια κανονική πνευματική ζωή, πρέπει να λαμβάνεις νέο φως καθημερινά, να αναζητάς την αληθινή κατανόηση των λόγων του Θεού και να κατορθώνεις μια διαύγεια προς την αλήθεια. Χρειάζεται να έχεις ένα μονοπάτι προς την πράξη σε όλους τους τομείς, και με την ανάγνωση των λόγων του Θεού κάθε μέρα μπορείς να βρεις νέα ερωτήματα και να ανακαλύπτεις τα δικά σου ελαττώματα. Τα παραπάνω με την σειρά τους φέρνουν στο φως μια καρδιά που διψά και αναζητά, που θα θέσει σε κίνηση ολόκληρη την ύπαρξή σου, και θα μπορείς να είσαι ήσυχος ενώπιον του Θεού οποιαδήποτε στιγμή, και να έχεις έναν βαθύ φόβο ότι μένεις πίσω. Αν ένα άτομο μπορεί να έχει αυτήν τη διψασμένη και διερευνητική καρδιά, και επίσης είναι πρόθυμο να εισέρχεται διαρκώς, τότε βρίσκεται στο σωστό δρόμο για μια πνευματική ζωή».

From the distance, the trail looked like an easy climb, gently hugging the dandy hillside until it reached the notch on the Continental Divide. I could even spot a few hikers up there, enjoying the view, and looking like ants!. Cakewalk and Piece of cake were the metaphors that entered my mind when I first saw folks ascending up the trail. And it didn't even look a mile long. An easy 15min job, I though.

 

Half hour later, I was still struggling to haul my ass up that steep section of incline. I had hardly ascended half the distance and even then had to stop every minute to catch my breath. That summit seemed a long way away. But slowly and laboriously I made my way to the top, hoping every second that the view was worth the 1000ft ascent in about 1/2 a mile!

 

Finally, I crested that saddle and boy was the view wonderful. To one side was a steep dropoff where the ice-banks form the Grinnell glacier lay. And on the other side of the Continental divide was the long valley along which Lake MacDonald lays.

 

I had scrambled up a rather hairy slippery ledge to get a better view of the glacier and the peaks beyond. Every step was a test of courage, for not only were the loose stones lacking any good grip, but also the sudden gusts that rushed through this area powerful enough to through me off balance!

 

Nevertheless, each angle of the view I had was a study in itself. With the record snow this year, all the snow covering the glacier had not yet melted this late in August. Tiny turquoise-blue pools of this meltwater accumulated in the natural depressions in the snow. Upper Grinnell lake, that is normally visible at the foot of the glacier was obscured completedly by snow and ice of the glacier. Directly below me lay the even smaller Salamander Glacier, covering only 42 acres. Above these glaciers rose the seemingly thin ledges that formed the spine of the Continental Divide. And beyond lay the towering peaks of Mt Siyeh and Piegan pass area.

 

On the other side of the divide, lay the massive glacier-carved canyon of MacDonald creek. And in the distance, beyond seemingly multiple range of mountains shone the gem-like surface of Lake MacDonald.

 

I wanted to spend hours taking in and savoring this scene, but I still had 8 more miles to go, which was half the length of the hike to go and just 6 more hours of daylight!

 

Hope you enjoy this 5 image paanorama of this beautiful scene shot at ISO 400, F13 and 1/200s

Содержание

Есть ли у нас истинная вера в Господа?

Что такое истинная вера на самом деле

Как сформировать истинную веру в Бога

От каждого из нас, христиан, Бог прежде всего требует обладания подлинной верой. В Библии описано множество примеров людей, которые благодаря своей вере смогли увидеть чудные дела Божьи и получить Его благословение. У Моисея былавера в Бога и посредством Божьего водительства он смог преодолеть множество препон и ограничений Фараона, с успехом возглавив израильтян в их исходе из Египта. Авраам имел веру в Бога и был готов принести в жертву Богу своего единственного сына Исаака, и в конечном итоге Бог благословил его, позволив его потомкам размножиться и стать великими народами. У Иова была вера в Бога, и во время двух испытаний он сумел остаться твердым в свидетельстве о Боге; Бог благословил Его более, нежели прежде, и явился ему и говорил с ним из бури. Женщина Хананеянка в Евангелии от Матфея имела веру в Господа Иисуса, веря, что Он может изгнать злого духа из ее дочери; она обратилась к Господу Иисусу с просьбой, и недуг ее дочери была излечен. Нам, как христианам, крайне важно понимать истину относительно того, что такое истинная вера, что, не важно с какими трудностями мы сталкиваемся в нашей жизни — с провалами в бизнесе, жизненными неудачами, несчастьями в семье — мы можем полагаться на нашу веру и неотступно следовать за Богом, громогласно свидетельствуя о Нем и в конечном итоге обретая Его одобрение.

 

Есть ли у нас истинная вера в Господа?

Могут найтись некоторые братья и сестры, которые, услышав дискуссию о вере, с уверенностью заявят, что у них точно есть вера. «Я верю в Бога на 100%. Я всегда признаю Бога, этим подтверждается, что я верующий». «Я верю, что Господь Иисус есть наш Спаситель, и что Он был распят, чтобы искупить нас от наших грехов. Пока мы молимся и исповедуемся пред Господом, Он всегда простит нам наши грехи. Разве это не вера в Господа?» «Я был верующим все эти годы; Чтобы посвятить всего себя и свой труд Господу, я отказался от карьеры, семьи и работы. Я повсюду основывал церкви и много страдал, никогда не жалуясь. Это все проявления веры в Бога». Несомненно, мы верим в существование Бога, и это факт, что мы с энтузиазмом работаем и полностью посвящаем себя Господу, что мы страдаем и дорого расплачиваемся за Него. Но значит ли это, что у нас есть истинная вера в Бога? Данный вопрос касается всех нас, братьев и сестер, которые искренне верят в Господа и жаждут истины, исследуя и проводя беседы.

 

Возьмем для примера меня. С тех пор, как я стала христианкой, я всегда активно участвовала в собраниях, делилась благой вестью с другими и предлагала поддержку братьям и сестрам, испытывающим слабость в вере. Никакие трудности не могли помешать мне заниматься этим. Я более чем готова оставить земные блага, чтобы с энтузиазмом служить Господу, поэтому я считаю себя той, которая любит Господа, предана Ему и имеет веру в Него. Однако, когда я и члены моей семьи заболели, и наше состояние не улучшилось даже после того, как я некоторое время молилась, я впала в уныние и разочаровалась в Боге. Я даже пожаловалась Ему, что он не защищает меня и мою семью. То, что было открыто суровой истиной, заставило меня понять, что мне совершенно не хватает подлинной веры, и что моя вера основывалась только на фундаменте семейной гармонии и свободы от физических болезней или бедствий. Тем не менее, мой истинный духовный рост был открыт, как только произошло что-то нежелательное. Только тогда я действительно увидела, что моя вера в Бога была настолько ничтожна, что вызывала жалость — это в самом деле не то, чем стоит хвастаться. Глядя на братьев и сестер вокруг меня, я видела, что большинство из них были такими же. Некоторые, чтобы не пострадали их личные интересы, вообще перестают посещать церковные служения, когда они вступают в конфликт с их графиком домашних дел или работы. Другие могут молиться Господу и просить Его о выходе, когда они впервые зашли в тупик в попытках найти работу или в других аспектах, но если это по-прежнему остается нерешенной проблемой, у них растет недовольство Господом, и они могут даже впасть в уныние и разочароваться. Они начинают полагаться на друзей из своего окружения, которые выглядят влиятельными и авторитетными, или могут действовать, руководствуясь своими собственными соображениями. Есть также братья и сестры, которые, получив Господни благословения, с энтузиазмом участвуют во всех аспектах церковной работы, но когда у них дома происходит что-то ужасное, или же они сталкиваются с неудачами в бизнесе, они начинают жить, не понимая Господа и сетуя на Него, а то и вовсе отходят от Него.

Dutch:

Het was wel even een kwestie van wennen om met de combi Bigma en D600 snel en zeker uit de hand te kunnen fotograferen. Gisteren stond alles mooi op stevig statief en dan komt dit beweeglijke vogeltje opeens steeds dichterbij. Dus snel losgemaakt en wat steun gezocht om hem te kunnen volgen. Dit is een stevige crop, want de boerenzwaluw staat er helemaal op met stuk van omgeving. Kleuren komen nu ook dicht bij de D200 kleuren, die ik nog steeds het mooiste vind als SOOC.

Le Port de Montréal est une véritable richesse pour notre métropole. Les activités portuaires et maritimes ont contribué au développement et à l’essor de la ville de Montréal et du Canada à travers l’histoire, et sont encore aujourd’hui synonymes de vitalité économique.

 

Le Port est un élément fondateur de la ville de Montréal, et il a largement contribué à son développement socio-économique. Il a également été un acteur clé dans le peuplement et l’industrialisation du Canada. Aujourd’hui, le Port continue d’être une plaque tournante pour la logistique du transport des marchandises et le tourisme.

 

Le Port de Montréal vous offre l’occasion de remonter dans le temps pour revivre les grandes étapes de l’évolution de la riche histoire portuaire de Montréal.

Another of my favourites from the evening, further down the Loup itself; about the third "step" from the top. Again the model's demure (and undirected) pose pleases me, and the composition is as good as anything else I took all evening, though unfortunately it's not quite as sharp.

Lo Spirito Santo opera secondo dei principi

  

Qin Shuting Città di Linyi, Provincia di Shandong

 

Per un certo tempo, anche se non avevo smesso di nutrirmi e dissetarmi della parola di Dio, non avevo mai percepito la luce. Avevo pregato Dio per questo ma, ciononostante, non ero stata ancora illuminata. Così ho pensato: “Dio illumina ogni persona a Suo tempo, perciò è inutile cercare di affrettare le cose”. Poi ho continuato a seguire le regole e a nutrirmi e dissetarmi della parola di Dio senza ansia, attendendo “pazientemente” che Egli mi illuminasse.

 

Finché un giorno ho letto questo brano della parola di Dio: “Solo se il tuo cuore è in pace al cospetto di Dio, la tua ricerca della verità e della trasformazione della tua indole porterà frutto. Infatti, ti presenti a Dio gravato di fardelli e ti senti sempre fortemente manchevole, senti che ci sono molte verità che dovresti conoscere, molta realtà che avresti bisogno di sperimentare, e che dovresti prestare la massima attenzione alla volontà di Dio. Queste cose sono costantemente nella tua mente ed è come se ti opprimessero fino quasi a non lasciarti respirare: per questo avverti un gran peso nel cuore (ma non ti senti in una condizione negativa). Solo persone di questo genere sono qualificate ad accogliere l’illuminazione delle parole di Dio e a essere mosse dal Suo Spirito. È a motivo del loro fardello, del fatto che hanno il cuore pesante e, si può dire, a causa del prezzo che hanno pagato e dei tormenti che hanno patito dinanzi a Dio, che Ne hanno ricevuto intuizione e illuminazione, poiché Dio non riserva a nessuno un trattamento speciale. Nel Suo modo di trattare la gente Egli è sempre giusto, ma per contro non provvede a caso alle persone e non dà loro incondizionatamente. È uno dei tratti della Sua indole giusta” (“È molto importante stabilire un rapporto adeguato con Dio” in La Parola appare nella carne). Riflettendo su queste parole di Dio, ho capito: Dio è un Dio giusto. Non provvede mai all’uomo in maniera arbitraria né gli dona alcunché in maniera incondizionata. Per ricevere la Sua illuminazione e il Suo splendore, bisogna acquietare il proprio animo davanti a Lui e avere un cuore che brama e ricerca la Sua parola. Bisogna portare il fardello della propria vita e ricercare nella parola di Dio le proprie manchevolezze. Portando il proprio fardello, bisogna intenzionalmente nutrirsi e dissetarsi della parola di Dio per tenere nella massima considerazione la Sua volontà ed entrare sempre più in profondità nella verità. Solo pagando in concreto un simile prezzo per lavorare con Dio si può ottenere la Sua illuminazione. In retrospettiva, io non portavo alcun fardello né avevo un cuore bramoso di nutrirsi e dissetarsi della parola di Dio. Ogni volta che prendevo in mano il libro della parola di Dio lo sfogliavo e vedevo che avevo letto questo e quel brano, pensando di avere un’idea di massima di ciascun passo. Poi ne cercavo uno qualsiasi, lo leggevo frettolosamente, e la cosa finiva lì. Quando mi nutrivo e mi dissetavo della parola di Dio, riuscivo solo a capire il significato letterale delle parole e mi concentravo unicamente sul rispetto di alcune regole e pratiche. Di certo non capivo granché della verità a cui dovevo accedere, né soddisfacevo il cuore di Dio. Non portavo affatto alcun fardello nella vita, né mi preoccupavo per non essermi dotata di una verità sufficiente; mi limitavo a gestire con indifferenza il mio nutrirmi e dissetarmi della parola di Dio. Con un atteggiamento così sprezzante verso la parola di Dio, come avrei potuto ottenere la Sua illuminazione e il Suo splendore? Non stavo davvero lavorando con Dio e utilizzavo l’espressione “Dio illumina ogni persona a Suo tempo” come scusa per attendere ciecamente la Sua illuminazione. Ero davvero tanto ignorante! Solo adesso riconosco che, anche se Dio illumina ogni persona a Suo tempo, questo è vero, ma c’è un principio alla base dell’opera dello Spirito Santo sull’uomo: l’uomo stesso deve avere un cuore bramoso e dedito alla ricerca per poter lavorare in maniera positiva e attiva con Dio e solo allora lo Spirito Santo potrà operare su di lui e illuminare e fare risplendere la sua conoscenza della volontà di Dio, facendogli capire la verità della parola di Dio.

 

Oh Dio! Io rendo grazie per la Tua tempestiva illuminazione che mi ha permesso di riconoscere la deviazione insita nella mia esperienza. Adesso io desidero tornare indietro per lavorare in maniera positiva e attiva con Te, per mantenere un cuore bramoso e dedito alla ricerca, per portare il mio fardello e nutrirmi e dissetarmi della Tua parola, per perseguire un’ulteriore illuminazione ottenuta mediante la Tua parola e far sì che io possa approfondire la mia conoscenza della verità, e che la mia vita diventi sempre migliore.

There is total disagreement about the origin of this breed. Spotted dogs are known throughout history in Africa, Europe and Asia. The breed may be related to the Pointer. Traces of spotted dogs are found in Egyptian bas-reliefs and Hellenic friezes, so it certainly is an ancient breed. In 1700 a dog known as the Bengal pointer, similar to the Dalmatian, existed in England, calling into question the Dalmatians Yugoslavian origin. Some claim the Dalmatian is a Croatian breed. Efforts to have it recognized as a Croatian breed had been rejected, up until 1993, when the FCI did finally recognize the Croatian roots of the Dalmatian dog, although they continue to deny Croatia standard patronage rights over the breed. In the Middle Ages it was used as a hound. The breed became popular as a carriage dog in the 1800s. They trotted beside and among the horses and carriages, very reliably following their masters, guarding the carriages and horses while the master was occupied elsewhere. Very hardy with great stamina, it was able to easily keep up whether its master was on foot, on horseback, or in the carriage. The versatile Dalmatian has seen many uses, such as a mascot for firemen, war sentinel, draft dog, circus performer, vermin hunter, fire-apparatus follower, bird dog, trail hound, retriever, shepherd and as a guard dog.

Dalmatians were bred to run under or alongside horse-drawn carriages and therefore have a vast amount of stamina and energy. They do not like to sit around all day with nothing to do. They are playful, happy, easy going and very dedicated. The Dalmatian needs a lot of leadership along with human companionship in order to be happy. They will not do well left out in the yard all day and have been known to dig crater-size holes when done so. The Dalmatian enjoys playing with children, but if they do not receive enough mental and physical exercise they may become high-strung, and too excitable for a small child.

—--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]

I know a few people making these and they are all so lovely I wanted to try to make my own version of it. This one was for my father. He loved it.

 

Once in a while I see something online or in a store and think that I don't need to buy it because I could make my own. That's what I've been up to since we moved last July: making things to cozy up in our new home (update). I'll try to take a few photos to share which brings me to this post.

 

I meant to share more of the skirts embellishment I'm working on. The problem is that if we don't have good enough photographs we don't post them at all. It's taken a long time (for me specially) to learn how to take good photos. We try to get the best background matching the piece, the light has to be just right so we don't have to retouch the image. It's a poor excuse to leave all of you waiting for so long. I'll try to have more wip images (work in progress) which we usually post in Rob's Flickr blog as well. We want to share whatever we are tinkering with at the time. This is why we don't have a blog (instead of a Flickr blog as we call it) and why Rob has a Tumblr. The pressure of a daily post and getting back to everyone's comments would be too much. But please feel free to email us, leave your comments here, and follow us. Flickr has been good to us and many of our followers have found us here. We post images and a short explanation to document our work and share online. Here's to another year of many more posts! If you are reading this, thank you for sticking with us :)

The Arboretum has an interactive map on their web site. This map is found at the Arborway Gate.

 

Pasting from Wikipedia: Arnold Arboretum:

 

• • • • •

 

The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is an arboretum located in the Jamaica Plain and Roslindale sections of Boston, Massachusetts. It was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and is the second largest "link" in the Emerald Necklace.

 

History

 

The Arboretum was founded in 1872 when the President and Fellows of Harvard College became trustees of a portion of the estate of James Arnold (1781–1868).

 

In 1842, Benjamin Bussey (1757–1842), a prosperous Boston merchant and scientific farmer, donated his country estate Woodland Hill and a part of his fortune to Harvard University "for instruction in agriculture, horticulture, and related subjects". Bussey had inherited land from fellow patriot Eleazer Weld in 1800 and further enlarged his large estate between 1806 and 1837 by acquiring and consolidating various farms that had been established as early as the seventeenth century. Harvard used this land for the creation of the Bussey Institute, which was dedicated to agricultural experimentation. The first Bussey Institute building was completed in 1871 and served as headquarters for an undergraduate school of agriculture.

 

Sixteen years after Bussey's death, James Arnold, a New Bedford, Massachusetts whaling merchant, specified that a portion of his estate was to be used for "...the promotion of Agricultural, or Horticultural improvements". In 1872, when the trustees of the will of James Arnold transferred his estate to Harvard University, Arnold’s gift was combined with 120 acres (0.49 km2) of the former Bussey estate to create the Arnold Arboretum. In the deed of trust between the Arnold trustees and the College, income from Arnold’s legacy was to be used for establishing, developing and maintaining an arboretum to be known as the Arnold Arboretum which "shall contain, as far as practicable, all the trees [and] shrubs ... either indigenous or exotic, which can be raised in the open air of West Roxbury". The historical mission of the Arnold Arboretum is to increase knowledge of woody plants through research and to disseminate this knowledge through education.

 

Charles Sprague Sargent was appointed director and Arnold Professor of Botany shortly after the establishment of the institution in 1872.[2] Together with landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted he developed the road and pathway system and delineated the collection areas by family and genus, following the then current and widely accepted classification system of Bentham and Hooker. The Hunnewell building was designed by architect Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow, Jr. in 1892 and constructed with funds donated by H. H. Hunnewell in 1903. From 1946 to 1950 the landscape architect Beatrix Farrand was the landscape design consultant for the Arboretum. Her early training in the 1890s included time with Charles Sprague Sargent and chief propagator and superintendent Jackson Thornton Johnson.[3] Today the Arboretum occupies 265 acres (107 hectares) of land divided between four parcels, viz. the main Arboretum and the Peters Hill, Weld-Walter and South Street tracts. The collections, however, are located primarily in the main Arboretum and on the Peters Hill tract. The Arboretum remains one of the finest examples of a landscape designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and it is a Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site) and a National Historic Landmark.

 

Robert E. Cook is the seventh and current Director of the Arnold Arboretum. He is also the Director of the Harvard University Herbaria located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

 

Status

 

The Arboretum is privately endowed as a department of Harvard University. The land, however, was deeded to the City of Boston in 1882 and incorporated into the so-called "Emerald Necklace". Under the agreement with the City, Harvard University was given a thousand-year lease on the property, and the University, as trustee, is directly responsible for the development, maintenance, and operation of the Arboretum; the City retains responsibility for water fountains, benches, roads, boundaries, and policing. The annual operating budget of $7,350,644 (fiscal year 2003) is largely derived from endowment, which is also managed by the University, and all Arboretum staff are University employees. Other income is obtained through granting agencies and contributors.

 

Location

 

The main Arborway gate is located on Route 203 a few hundred yards south of its junction with the Jamaicaway. Public transportation to the Arboretum is available on the MBTA Orange Line to its terminus at Forest Hills Station and by bus (#39) to the Monument in Jamaica Plain. The Arboretum is within easy walking distance from either of these points.

 

Hours

 

The grounds are open free of charge to the public from sunrise to sunset 365 days of the year. The Visitor's Center in the Hunnewell Building, 125 Arborway, is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m.–4 p.m.; Saturdays 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; Sundays 12 p.m.–4 PM. The Visitor’s Center is closed on holidays. The Library, located in the Hunnewell Building, is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.. The Library is closed on Sundays and holidays. Stacks are closed and the collection does not circulate.

 

Area

 

Two hundred and sixty-five acres (107 hectares) in the Jamaica Plain and Roslindale sections of Boston, Massachusetts, located at 42°19′N 71°5′W / 42.317°N 71.083°W / 42.317; -71.083, with altitudes ranging from 46 feet (15 m) in the meadow across the drive from the Hunnewell Building to 240 feet (79 m) at the top of Peters Hill.

 

Climate

 

Average yearly rainfall is 43.63 inches (1,102 mm); average snowfall, 40.2 inches (102 centimeters). Monthly mean temperature is 51.5 °F (10.8 °C); July's mean temperature is 73.5 °F (23 °C); January's is 29.6 °F (-1.3 °C). The Arboretum is located in USDA hardiness zone 6 (0 to −10 °F, −18 to −23 °C).

 

Collections (as of September 14, 2007)

 

At present, the living collections include 15,441 individual plants (including nursery holdings) belonging to 10,216 accessions representing 4,099 taxa; with particular emphasis on the ligneous species of North America and eastern Asia. Historic collections include the plant introductions from eastern Asia made by Charles Sprague Sargent, Ernest Henry Wilson, William Purdom, Joseph Hers, and Joseph Rock. Recent introductions from Asia have resulted from the 1977 Arnold Arboretum Expedition to Japan and Korea, the 1980 Sino-American Botanical Expedition to western Hubei Province, and more recent expeditions to China and Taiwan.

 

Comprehensive collections are maintained and augmented for most genera, and genera that have received particular emphasis include: Acer, Fagus, Carya, Forsythia, Taxodium, Pinus, Metasequoia, Lonicera, Magnolia, Malus, Quercus, Rhododendron, Syringa, Paulownia, Albizia, Ilex, Gleditsia and Tsuga. Other comprehensive collections include the Bradley Collection of Rosaceous Plants, the collection of conifers and dwarf conifers, and the Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection. Approximately 500 accessions are processed annually.

 

Collections policy

 

The mission of the Arnold Arboretum is to increase our knowledge of the evolution and biology of woody plants. Historically, this research has investigated the global distribution and evolutionary history of trees, shrubs and vines, with particular emphasis on the disjunct species of East Asia and North America. Today this work continues through molecular studies of the evolution and biogeography of the floras of temperate Asia, North America and Europe.

 

Research activities include molecular studies of gene evolution, investigations of plant-water relations, and the monitoring of plant phenology, vegetation succession, nutrient cycling and other factors that inform studies of environmental change. Applied work in horticulture uses the collections for studies in plant propagation, plant introduction, and environmental management. This diversity of scientific investigation is founded in a continuing commitment to acquire, grow, and document the recognized species and infraspecific taxa of ligneous plants of the Northern Hemisphere that are able to withstand the climate of the Arboretum’s 265-acre (1.07 km2) Jamaica Plain/Roslindale site.

 

As a primary resource for research in plant biology, the Arboretum’s living collections are actively developed, curated, and managed to support scientific investigation and study. To this end, acquisition policies place priority on obtaining plants that are genetically representative of documented wild populations. For each taxon, the Arnold Arboretum aspires to grow multiple accessions of known wild provenance in order to represent significant variation that may occur across the geographic range of the species. Accessions of garden or cultivated provenance are also acquired as governed by the collections policies herein.

 

For all specimens, full documentation of both provenance and history within the collection is a critical priority. Curatorial procedures provide for complete and accurate records for each accession, and document original provenance, locations in the collections, and changes in botanical identity. Herbarium specimens, DNA materials, and digital images are gathered for the collection and maintained in Arboretum data systems and the herbarium at the Roslindale site.

 

Research

 

Research on plant pathology and integrated pest management for maintenance of the living collections is constantly ongoing. Herbarium-based research focuses on the systematics and biodiversity of both temperate and tropical Asian forests, as well as the ecology and potential for sustainable use of their resources. The Arboretum's education programs offer school groups and the general public a wide range of lectures, courses, and walks focusing on the ecology and cultivation of plants. Its quarterly magazine, Arnoldia, provides in-depth information on horticulture, botany, and garden history. Current Research Initiatives

 

Plant Records

 

Plant records are maintained on a computerized database, BG-BASE 6.8 (BG-Base Inc.), which was initiated in 1985 at the request of the Arnold Arboretum and the Threatened Plants Unit (TPU) of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC). A computerized mapping program (based on AutoCAD (Autodesk)) is linked to BG-BASE, and each accession is recorded on a series of maps at a scale of 1-inch (25 mm) to 20 feet (1:240) or 1-inch (25 mm) to 10 feet (1:120). A computer-driven embosser generates records labels. All accessioned plants in the collections are labeled with accession number, botanical name, and cultivar name (when appropriate), source information, common name, and map location. Trunk and/or display labels are also hung on many accessions and include botanical and common names and nativity. Stake labels are used to identify plants located in the Leventritt Garden and Chinese Path.

 

Grounds Maintenance

 

The grounds staff consists of the superintendent and assistant superintendent, three arborists, and ten horticultural technologists. A service garage is adjacent to the Hunnewell Building, where offices and locker rooms are located. During the summer months ten horticultural interns supplement the grounds staff. A wide array of vehicles and modern equipment, including an aerial lift truck and a John Deere backhoe and front loader, are used in grounds maintenance. Permanent grounds staff, excluding the superintendents, are members of AFL/CIO Local 615, Service Employees International Union (SEIU).

 

Nursery and Greenhouse Facilities

 

The Dana Greenhouses, located at 1050 Centre Street (with a mailing address of 125 Arborway), were completed in 1962. They comprise four service greenhouses totaling 3,744 square feet (348 m²), the headhouse with offices, cold rooms, storage areas, and a classroom. Staffing at the greenhouse includes the manager of greenhouses and nurseries, the plant propagator, two assistants, and, during the summer months, two horticultural interns. Adjacent to the greenhouse is a shade house of 3,150 square feet (293 m²), a 12,600 cubic foot (357 m³) cold storage facility, and three irrigated, inground nurseries totaling approximately one and one-half acres (6,000 m²). Also located in the greenhouse complex is the bonsai pavilion, where the Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection is displayed from the middle of April to the end of October. During the winter months the bonsai are held in the cold storage unit at temperatures slightly above freezing.

 

Isabella Welles Hunnewell Internship Program

 

The living collections department of the Arnold Arboretum offers a paid summer internship program [2] that combines hands-on training in horticulture with educational courses. Intern trainees will be accepted for 12- to 24-week appointments. Ten interns will work with the grounds maintenance department and two in the Dana Greenhouses.

 

As part of the training program, interns participate in mandatory instructional sessions and field trips in order to develop a broader sense of the Arboretum’s horticultural practices as well as those of other institutions. Sessions and field trips are led by Arnold staff members and embrace an open question and answer format encouraging all to participate. Interns often bring experience and knowledge that everyone, including staff, benefits from. It is a competitive-free learning environment.

 

Horticultural Apprenticeship

 

The Arboretum created the horticultural apprenticeship program in 1997 to provide hands-on experience in all aspects of the development, curation, and maintenance of the Arboretum's living collections to individuals interested in pursuing a career in an arboretum or botanical garden.

 

The Living Collections department of the Arnold Arboretum offers a summer internship program[4] that combines practical hands-on training in horticulture with educational courses. Fourteen Interns/Horticultural Trainees are accepted for twelve to twenty-four week appointments. Interns receive the majority of their training in one of three departments: Grounds Maintenance, Nursery and Greenhouse, or Plant Records.

 

Lilac Sunday

 

The second Sunday in May every year is "Lilac Sunday". This is the only day of the year that picnicing is allowed. In 2008, on the 100th anniversary of Lilac Sunday, the Arboretum website touted:

 

Of the thousands of flowering plants in the Arboretum, only one, the lilac, is singled out each year for a daylong celebration. On Lilac Sunday, garden enthusiasts from all over New England gather at the Arboretum to picnic, watch Morris dancing, and tour the lilac collection. On the day of the event, which takes place rain or shine, the Arboretum is open as usual from dawn to dusk.[5]

 

Associated Collections

 

The Arboretum's herbarium in Jamaica Plain holds specimens of cultivated plants that relate to the living collections (ca. 160,000). The Jamaica Plain herbarium, horticultural library, archives, and photographs are maintained in the Hunnewell building at 125 Arborway; however, the main portions of the herbarium and library collections are housed in Cambridge on the campus of Harvard University, at 22 Divinity Avenue.

 

Publications

 

The inventory of living collections is updated periodically and made available to sister botanical gardens and arboreta on request; it is also available on the Arboretum’s website (searchable inventory). Arnoldia, the quarterly magazine of the Arnold Arboretum, frequently publishes articles relating to the living collections. A Reunion of Trees[6] by Stephen A. Spongberg (curator emeritus) recounts the history of the introduction of many of the exotic species included in the Arobretum’s collections. New England Natives[7] written by horticultural research archivist Sheila Connor describes many of the trees and shrubs of the New England flora and the ways New Englanders have used them since prehistoric times. Science in the Pleasure Ground[8] by Ida Hay (former curatorial associate) constitutes an institutional biography of the Arboretum.

 

Institutional Collaborations

 

The Arboretum maintains an institutional membership in the American Public Garden Association (APGA) and the International Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta. Additionally, members of the staff are associated with many national and international botanical and horticultural organizations. The Arboretum is also a cooperating institution with the Center for Plant Conservation (CPC), and as an active member of the North American Plant Collections Consortium (NAPCC), it is committed to broadening and maintaining its holdings of: Acer, Carya, Fagus, Stewartia, Syringa, and Tsuga for the purposes of plant conservation, evaluation, and research. The Arboretum is also a member of the North American China Plant Exploration Consortium (NACPEC).

For our day in port at Cannes, Mike and I began by hiking up to Musée de la Castre -- once a hilltop fortress and now a museum at the heart of Cannes' Le Suquet district.

 

The museum's collections are grouped by themes, including a Historical Journey (Voyage Historique) that encompasses antiquities from throughout the Mediterranean region and a Pictorial Journey (Voyage Pittoresque) that features paintings of landscapes, seascapes, views of Cannes, Impressionism, and Fauvism.

 

In this photo, you can see an Etruscan sarcophagus displayed in one of the Pictorial Journey rooms, with landscape paintings by Joseph Contini and Vincent Courdouan on the wall behind it. A few details on the sarcophagus (as translated from the informational placard below it) and the paintings, as well as an overview of the Mediterranean Antiquities and Painted Landscape collections (as outlined in the museum's brochure):

 

Etruscan Sarcophagus

Erected on the pediments of temples or installed on the tanks sarcophagi, as here, these large figures -- molded, sculpted, baked, and often painted -- were characteristic of Etruscan civilization on the Italian Peninsula. The sarcophagus lid shows a richly dressed man, semi-reclining on a bed. He is holding a crown -- one of the objects associated with large, festive banquets where attendees reclined in antiquity. Etruscan funerary art used the image of a banqueter, symbolizing the eternal banquet of the deceased in the afterlife and which characterizes his social portrait.

Mediterranean Antiquities

The Mediterranean antiquities are housed in the lower room in the Abbot's Tower, a 16th-century building that was partially razed to the ground, but whose oblique profile may be made out in the museum's garden. The tower marked the corner of one of the residential buildings in Cannes' castle. The archaeology room presents a fine collection of Mediterranean antiquities, from Sumerian clay tablets written in cuneiform to 4th-century Christians' lead sarcophagi. Almost 5,000 years of art is thus displayed in the showcases, which are fitted out like collectors' cabinets, as if the room were an antique collector's private museum. The exhibits come partly from the collection of Baron Lycklama, who purchased them during his Middle Eastern travels: Persia and its capital, Tehran, the ruins beside the Tigris of what is now Iraq; Turkey and Constantinople; the lands that now make up Syria, with Damascus and Palmyra; the ancient lands of Palestine, with Jerusalem and Bethlehem; and the island of Cyprus. Another series of very fine exhibits comes from the donation made by Jacqueline Damien, who donated her father's collection to the nation in 1992 on the condition that it was to be lodged with the Musée de la Castre. A series of works on permanent loan from the Louvre, such as the two sarcophagi, one Etruscan and the other Egyptian, join the museum's early Christian lead sarcophagi to form a group representing the funerary rites of the classical and post-classical periods.

 

The Painted Landscape

Landscape art became a genre in its own right in the late 18th century, taking its cue from the Dutch and Flemish masters. Before then, it had been used as the backdrop for historical, religious, or battle scenes. The establishment, in 1817, of a Prix de Rome for historical landscapes constituted a decisive milestone, as it bestowed official recognition on the genre. At that time, open-air work for making sketches and studying individual features of the landscape -- such as rocks, trees, and clouds -- was recommended. The landscape artist then reworked the features he had sketched, turning them into an intellectual re-composition. He reconstructed landscapes, at times ideal and at times aiming for geographic or atmospheric truth, but from memory, incorporating details drawn from life into imaginary sites. The paintings presented in this room highlight Cannes' minor 19th century masters, who were virtuosos of the striking views held out by the coast. Joseph Contini (1827-1892), Adolphe Fioupou (1824-1899), and their generation focus our gaze on the minute observation of trees or rocks, whether isolated or incorporated into a full-fledged composition.

—--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]

—--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.

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

www.emergencyrooms.org/biennalist.html

 

Biennalist is an Art Format by Thierry Geoffroy / Colonel debating with artistic tools on Biennales and other cultural managed events . Often those events promote them selves with thematics and press releases faking their aim . Biennalist take the thematics of the Biennales very seriously , and test their pertinance . Artists have questioned for decade the canvas , the pigment , the museum ... since 1989 we question the Biennales .Often Biennalist converge with Emergency Room providing a burning content that cannot wait ( today before it is too late )

Visitors to our family blog can launch a car from our closet for our toddler to play with. I built a simple gravity-powered car launcher that is controlled by the web site. Clicking "Launch Car Now!" on the web site results in a sound clip from the movie "Cars" playing in our living room, followed by a car shooting out from under the coat closet door. The website uses a bit of PHP to send an email to my wife's computer, which happens to sit in the living room next to the coat closet. I created a filter in Apple Mail to run an AppleScript when a correctly coded email comes through. The AppleScript pauses iTunes and raises the system volume of the computer before activating a small applet I wrote in the Processing language. The Processing applet plays a bit of Lightning McQueen (main character in "Cars") psyching himself up before a big race. The applet then sends an "l" to the serial port, where the car launcher's Basic Stamp II microcontroller is patiently waiting. The BSII opens the sliding garage door on the launcher exactly one bay. There are five bays, for five cars. I set up little tabs to interrupt an infrared beam as the edge of each opening is reached. Once a given bay is open, gravity pulls the toy car out and down the ramp. Momentum carries it under the closed closet door and across the floor to the excited toddler. After receiving each launch command (each clicked "Launch Car Now! from the web site), the launcher will release one car and then wait for another command, progressing until the door is completely open and all cars have been released. The launcher door will then close and wait to be reloaded. The PHP on the web server makes sure the "Launch Car Now!" link is only available during usual playtime hours and also limits the number of cars launched to five per day. The table on which the launcher is sitting was another of my weekend projects, a nice roomy table for the little guy's wooden train set.

episode 1: marina sirtis at terraformers ii

 

my first glimpse of him was on that weekend's saturday morning -- we were walking through the lobby of the wonderful aegeon hotel at magical sounion, and he passed by us as he made his way to breakfast. as you can imagine, i almost fell down flat from the surprise.

 

robert picardo is a great speaker -- funny and insightful, he conveyed to the audience at terraformers ii a sense of the effort and attention it took to make voyager a wonderful series. it was deeply satisfying to get a glimpse of the process with which star trek was transformed into the stories we know and love.

 

i most enjoy star trek for its exhilarating exploration of ideas. picardo's character, the doctor, or the emergency medical holographic program, is one of those jewels, as are mr. spock and data, that help us to reexamine what it means to be human -- a being brought to life with this artist's intelligence and skill. picardo described facets the character's development, the investigation of issues, as well as acting and filming techniques that made it all so convincing and real.

 

of course, he teamed up with a fan, dimitris psathas, for some impromptu opera!

 

a special thanks to maria katsiri-devolder and www.sci-fi.gr/index.htm for this extraordinary experience.

 

i've placed this on the map.

About Imago Anatopism:

 

The project tells the tale of Volund, a nordic, elf, a symbol following Joseph Campbell's "Hero with a Thousand Faces." Volund undergoes many persona changes during his travels in which he encounters several others that shape and transform him.

 

Stage 1: At the start of the tale Volund, a Norsk elf who is probably born on the edge of the world between Midgaard – the home of humans, and Utgaard – the home home of giants, is still a young boy who is taken by his father to a mountian where a tribe of dwarfs are to teach him the craft of blacksmithing.

 

At this early stage all Volund gets are the basics: Skin, shape, eyes and a pair of shoes.

 

Stage 2: This is the stage in which Volund is refuses the call to the adventure. He is still a timid boy who does not hear, or misinterprets the call or may even misuse the call since he is not yet mature enough to make his own decisions and only follows the decisions of others. All this leads to the murder of his father which makes Volund realise life's dangers and the magnitude of his task.

 

Symbolizing this blindness, at stage 2 Volund only gets a mask as an attachment.

 

Stage 3: Setting out on his adventure, Volund goes back to the mountain in order to learn further secrets of forging and the creation of magic tools from the dwarf. Such supernatural aids are both good and bad and once Volund puts on his magic belt and helmet he realizes that it is the dwarfs that killed his father. This makes them his enemy and he has a narrow escape as he leaves the mountain.

 

Thus, at stage 3 Volund gets a magic belt and helmet as two new attachments.

 

Stage 4: The idea of the entering another world is often symbolized by the belly of the whale. Volund is no different in this regard, and he throws himself into the ocean to float away to the unknown.

 

Thus, at stage 4 Volund gets a harpoon as a new attachment.

 

Stage 5: It is at this stage that Volund starts discovering his strength and power. He now has the ability to forge magic objects, such as life-like statues and wonderful weapons. It is at this stage that Volund meets a valkyrie (in this instance, a symbol for the concept of "goddess"), whom he first sees as a swan who is taking off her feathers in order to bathe in lake. Volund hides her feathers and makes her his first wife. However she leaves him at the end of 7 years when she finally finds her feathers and flees away.

 

"She is the mother, sister, mistress, bride," Campbell writes of the goddess. But she is also the death of of everything that dies. Campbell continues: "Woman, in the picture language of mythology, represents the totality of what can be known. The hero is the one who comes to know."

 

At stage 5 Volund gets a big present that he gives to the goddess as an offering as a new attachment.

 

Stage 6: Volund gets 9 rings from the valkyrie, which is a symbol of union. However these ring are also things that he can measure his own forging up against.

 

Stage 7: Volund is now supposed to start his journey back home, with newly gained wisdom. However, he faces yet another obstacle through the king who tries to hinder Volund from leaving by crippling him.

 

Thus, unsurprisingly, at this stage Volund gets a cane. There are several versions of this with different poses.

 

Stage 8: Volund gets his revenge upon the king by raping his daughter.

 

To quote Campbell again: "And always, after the first thrills of getting under way, the adventure develops into a journey of darkness, horror, disgust and phantasmagoric fears."

 

And so, at this stage Volund gets a caged bird with which he can seduce the king's daughter.

 

Stage 9: Volund has now made the king's daughter pregnant. However, in order to ensure that his own son inherits the throne, Volund also takes the precaution of killing the king's two sons.

 

Thus, at this stage the new attachment that Volund gets is a sword.

 

Stage 10: We are now nearing the end of the story and Volund sits bird-like on a roof, and tells the king what has happend and what the future will be.

 

Stage 11: While Volund started his journey in the ocean his return home is through the sky. He forges himself a huge pair of wings with which he flies back home.

 

Stage 12: We have come to the end of the tale and Volund has finally returned home as a wiser, older man who now deserves to put on the shiled and mantle of the hero.

 

Campbell writes: ”The hero is the champion of things becoming, not of things become, because he is.” And later ”Having died to his personal ego, he arose again established in the Self”.

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

 

I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that, until last night, I had never been to a professional football game in my life. Baseball, basketball, and tennis: yes, of course. High-school and college football games: sure, though that was a long time ago. Indeed, the last college football game I watched (in person) was in the mid-60s, when I was invited to the annual Harvard-Yale game by a Radcliffe student I had begun dating -- a development to which my MIT college roommate reacted, in shock, by howling, "Radcliffe? You're dating a Cliffie? She must be a pig!" After which he pulled out his flute, every time he thought she might be present when he returned to our off-campus apartment, and played "Old McDonald Had a Farm" until he collapsed in gales of laughter on the stairwell. Highly inaccurate, I hasten to note, and totally unfair. But I digress...

 

Anyway, a freelance writer, Mitch Ligon (whose photo you can see here in one of my Flickr sets), invited me to accompany him last night to the New York Jets - Philadelphia Eagles game out in the New Jersey Meadowlands -- another first-time experience. I was given a photographer's press pass, which gave me access to the locker rooms, press box, various other "inner sanctum" locations ... and, most important, the football field itself. I was given a red jersey to wear, told to stay outside the yellow dashed lines that ring the field, and turned loose for the evening. I felt somewhat inadequate, because I knew that the "real" professional photographers would be equipped with high-cameras and monstrous telephoto lenses beyond anything I had ever touched, or could possibly afford; and even though my Nikon D300 and 70-300mm zoom lens is fairly respectable in amateur circles, I had no idea if I would be able to take any decent photos at all...

 

The other problem is that I know little or nothing about the nuances of football, beyond the obvious fact that the quarterback either passes the ball, or hands off to someone who attempts to run the ball downfield. Punts and field-goal kicks are also a familiar concept, but if you don't have a good anticipatory sense of who is about to do what to whom, it's easy to miss the "moment" when the perfect shot might be available. Also, I didn't really know anything about the players, aside from the respective star quarterbacks: Philadelphia's controversial Michael Vick, and New York's newly-named starting quarterback, Mark Sanchez. I had looked at the team rosters on the Internet before the game, so at least I knew their jersey numbers (#6 for Sanchez, and #7 for Vick, as you'll see in the photos) -- but the "action" was often so far away (at the other end of the field) that I couldn't tell whether the starting quarterback, or one of the substitutes, was making the plays.

 

Nevertheless, by the beginning of the second quarter I was feeling a little more comfortable -- if only because I found it easy to follow along behind the other professional photographers as they marched (or ran) from one end of the field to the other, in order to get their equipment set up for what they expected would be the next great shot. By the end of the game, I had taken 1,100+ photos, including several of Michael Vick in a post-game locker-room interview; and from the sound of the clickety-click-clack of my fellow photographers, I could tell that many of them had taken several thousand. I'll spare you the technical details of my feeble attempts to get some decent shots; I had picked up some good tips from the sports-photography chapter of Scott Kelby's Digital Photography, and I did my best within the limitations of my equipment and my lack of familiarity with the situation.

 

What impressed me most about the whole experience was the scale of modern professional football -- the scale of everything. It's one thing to read that there are 80,000 people in a football stadium; it's another thing to actually be there and hear the simultaneous roar of those 80,000 people as a quarterback is sacked or a long pass is completed. It's one thing to read that a professional football player is 6 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs 350 pounds; it's another thing to stand next to several dozen such giants. Heck, I thought there were only 20 or 30 such giants on each team; I had no idea that there were 64 of them (a number which will be pared down as the pre-season comes to an end), or that there might be 20-30 different coaches. And then there are the hundreds of "staff members" scurrying around all over the place, carrying out their various duties and assignments; and there are the security guards and State Police, who spent most of the time scanning the stadium crowd rather than watching the players, presumably watching for scuffles or fights or ... well, who knows what. There are cheerleaders too, in this case bearing the official name of New York Jets Flight Crew; I had expected half a dozen, but there were two dozen perky, long-haired beauties, with permanently frozen smiles, who who danced and pranced before the crowd at every conceivable opportunity.

 

All of this has resulted in the photos you'll see in this album. I had to delete roughly a hundred of my original images, because they were out of focus, or because a referee decided to walk in front of my camera at the wrong moment; and another 900 were "okay," but not terribly exciting. I'm sure that none of them are as crisp, sharp, and well-composed as those taken by the Sports Illustrated photographer and the other professionals on the field; but I did end up with 72 "keepers" that I hope you'll enjoy...

 

... and, yes, I probably will attend another football game or two in the years ahead. Whether I'm lucky enough to get down on the field again is anyone's guess....

Clipe filme gospel (II) "Que erros são mais facilmente cometidos em se acolher ao Senhor?"

 

Muitas pessoas de fé em círculos religiosos acreditam no que os pastores e presbíteros dizem "Todas as palavras e obras de Deus estão na Bíblia. Seria impossível que qualquer palavra de Deus aparecesse fora da Bíblia". Existe base bíblica para essa afirmação? O Senhor Jesus proferiu essas palavras? Em Apocalipse é profetizado muitas vezes: "Quem tem ouvidos, ouça o que o Espírito diz às igrejas". As palavras do Senhor dizem isso claramente: quando o Senhor retornar nos últimos dias, Ele falará novamente. Em termos de acolher a vinda do Senhor, se não nos apartarmos da Bíblia e buscarmos o que diz o Espírito Santo às igrejas, poderemos dar as boas-vindas ao Senhor?

1. मत्ती 12:1 उस समय यीशु

 

2. मत्ती 12:6-8 पर मैं तुम से कहता हूँ कि यहाँ वह है जो मन्दिर से भी बड़ा है। यदि तुम इसका अर्थ जानते, “मैं दया से प्रसन्न होता हूँ, बलिदान से नहीं,” तो तुम निर्दोष को दोषी न ठहराते। मनुष्य का पुत्र तो सब्त के दिन का भी प्रभु है।

 

आओ पहले हम इस अंश को देखें: “उस समय यीशु सब्त के दिन खेतों में से होकर जा रहा था, और उसके चेलों को भूख लगी तो वे बालें तोड़-तोड़कर खाने लगे।”

 

हमने इस अंश को क्यो चुना है? इसका परमेश्वर के स्वभाव से क्या सम्बन्ध है? इस पाठ में, पहली चीज़ जो हम जानते हैं वह है कि यह सब्त का दिन था, परन्तु बाहर गया और अपने चेलों को अनाज के खेतों में ले गया। इससे ज्यादा “चौंका देने वाली बात” क्या हो सकती है कि वे मकई की “बालें तोड़-तोड़कर खाने लगे।” व्यवस्था के युग में, यहोवा परमेश्वर की व्यवस्था थी कि लोग सब्त के दिन यूँ ही बाहर नहीं जा सकते थे और गतिविधियों में भाग नहीं ले सकते थे—बहुत सी ऐसी बातें थीं जिन्हें सब्त के दिन नहीं किया जा सकता था। प्रभु यीशु की ओर से किया गया यह कार्य उनके लिए पेचीदा था जो एक लम्बे समय से व्यवस्था के अधीन जीवन बिता रहे थे, और इसने आलोचना को भी भड़काया था। जहाँ तक उनके भ्रम और इस बात का संबंध है कि यीशु ने जो किया उसके बारे में उन्होंने किस प्रकार बात की, हम फिलहाल उसे एक ओर रखेंगे और पहले यह चर्चा करेंगे कि प्रभु यीशु ने, सभी दिनों में से, सब्त के दिन ही ऐसा करना क्यों चुना, और इस कार्य के द्वारा वह उन लोगों से क्या कहना चाहता था जो व्यवस्था के अधीन रह रहे थे। यह इस अंश और परमेश्वर के स्वभाव के बीच का संबंध है जिसके बारे में मैं तुमसे बात करना चाहता हूँ।

  

जब प्रभु यीशु मसीह आया, तो उसने लोगों से संवाद करने के लिए अपने व्यावहारिक कार्यों का उपयोग कियाः परमेश्वर ने व्यवस्था के युग को अलविदा किया था और नए कार्य का प्रारम्भ किया था, और इस नए कार्य को सब्त का पालन करने की आवश्यकता नहीं थी; जब परमेश्वर सब्त के दिन की सीमाओं से बाहर आ गया, तो यह उसके नए कार्य का बस एक पूर्वानुभव था, और उसका सचमुच का महान कार्य लगातार जारी हो रहा था। जब प्रभु यीशु ने अपना कार्य प्रारम्भ किया, तो उसने पहले से ही व्यवस्था की जंज़ीरों को पीछे छोड़ दिया था, और उस युग के विधि-विधानों और सिद्धांतों को तोड़ दिया था। उसमें, व्यवस्था से जुड़ी किसी भी बात का निशान नहीं था; उसने उसे पूर्णत: उतार कर फेंक दिया था तथा उसका अब और अनुसरण नहीं करता था, और उसने मनुष्यजाति से उसका अब और अनुसरण करने की अपेक्षा नहीं की थी। इसलिए तुम यहाँ देखते हो कि प्रभु यीशु सब्त के दिन मकई के खेतों से होकर गुज़रा, प्रभु ने आराम नहीं किया, बल्कि बाहर काम करता रहा। उसका यह कार्य लोगों की धारणाओं के लिए एक आघात था और इसने उन्हें सूचित किया कि वह व्यवस्था के अधीन अब और जीवन नहीं बिताएगा, और यह कि उसने सब्त की सीमाओं को छोड़ दिया है और एक नई कार्यशैली के साथ वह मनुष्यजाति के सामने और उनके बीच एक नई छवि में प्रकट हुआ है। उसके इस कार्य ने लोगों को बताया कि वह अपने साथ एक नया कार्य लाया है जो व्यवस्था से बाहर जाने और सब्त से बाहर जाने से आरम्भ हुआ था। जब परमेश्वर ने अपना नया कार्य कार्यान्वित किया, तो वह अतीत से अब और नहीं चिपका रहा, और वह व्यवस्था के युग की विधियों के बारे में अब और चिन्तित नहीं था। न ही वह पूर्ववर्ती युग के अपने कार्य से प्रभावित था, बल्कि उसने सब्त के दिन में भी सामान्य रूप से कार्य किया और जब उसके चेले भूखे थे, तो वे मकई की बालें तोड़कर खा सकते थे। यह सब कुछ परमेश्वर की निगाहों में बिल्कुल सामान्य था। परमेश्वर के पास अधिकांश कार्य करने के लिए जिसे वह करना चाहता है और अधिकांश बातें कहने के लिए जिन्‍हें वह कहना चाहता है, एक नई शुरूआत हो सकती है। एक बार जब उसने एक नई शुरूआत कर दी, तो वह न तो फिर से अपने पिछले कार्य का उल्लेख करता है और न ही उसे जारी रखता है। क्योंकि परमेश्वर के पास उसके कार्य के स्वयं के सिद्धांत हैं। जब वह नया कार्य शुरू करना चाहता है, तो यह तब होता है जब वह मनुष्यजाति को अपने कार्य के एक नए स्तर में पहुँचाना चाहता है, और जब उसका कार्य एक उच्चतर चरण में प्रवेश कर लेता है। यदि लोग लगातार पुरानी कहावतों या विधि-विधानों के अनुसार काम करते रहेंगे या उन्हें निरन्तर मज़बूती से पकड़ें रहेंगे, तो इसे याद नहीं रखेगा या इसकी प्रशंसा नहीं करेगा। ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि वह पहले से ही एक नए कार्य को ला चुका है, और अपने कार्य में एक नए चरण में प्रवेश कर चुका है। जब वह एक नए कार्य को आरम्भ करता है, तो वह मनुष्यजाति के सामने पूर्णतः नई छवि में, पूर्णतः नए कोण से, और पूर्णतः नए तरीके से प्रकट होता है ताकि लोग उसके स्वभाव के भिन्न-भिन्न पहलुओं को और उसके स्वरूप को देख सकें। यह उसके नए कार्य में उसके लक्ष्यों में से एक है। परमेश्वर पुराने को थामे नहीं रहता है या घिसे-पिटे मार्ग को नहीं लेता है; जब वह कार्य करता और बोलता है तो यह उतना निषेधात्मक नहीं होता है जितना लोग कल्पना करते हैं। परमेश्वर में, सभी स्वतंत्र और मुक्त हैं, और कोई निषेधात्मकता नहीं है, कोई लाचारी नहीं है—जो वह मनुष्यजाति के लिए लाता है वह सम्पूर्ण आज़ादी और मुक्ति है। वह एक जीवित परमेश्वर है, एक ऐसा परमेश्वर जो असलियत में, और सचमुच में अस्तित्व में है। वह कोई कठपुतली या मिट्टी की मूर्ति नहीं है, और वह उन मूर्तियों से बिल्कुल भिन्न है जिन्हें लोग प्रतिष्ठापित करते हैं और जिनकी आराधना करते हैं। वह जीवित और जीवन्त है और उसके कार्य और वचन मनुष्यों के लिए जो लेकर आते हैं वे हैं सम्पूर्ण जीवन और ज्योति, सम्पूर्ण स्वतन्त्रता और मुक्ति, क्योंकि वह सत्य, जीवन, और मार्ग को धारण करता है—और वह अपने किसी भी कार्य में किसी भी चीज़ के द्वारा विवश नहीं होता है। लोग चाहे कुछ भी क्यों न कहें और चाहे वे उसके नए कार्य को किसी भी प्रकार से क्यों न देखें या कैसे भी उसका आकलन क्‍यों न करें, वह बिना किसी रुकावट के अपने कार्य को पूरा करेगा। वह किसी की भी धारणाओं या उसके कार्य और वचनों पर उठी अँगुलियों के बारे में, या अपने नए कार्य के लिए उनके कठोर विरोध और प्रतिरोध की भी चिन्ता नहीं करेगा। जो परमेश्वर करता है उसे मापने या परिभाषित करने, उसके कार्य को बदनाम करने, या तितर-बितर करने या उसमें तोड़फोड़ करने के लिए, संपूर्ण सृष्टि में कोई भी मानवीय तर्क, या मानवीय कल्पनाओं, ज्ञान, या नैतिकता का उपयोग नहीं कर सकता है। उसके कार्य में और जो वह करता है उसमें कोई निषेधात्मकता नहीं है, और उसे किसी मनुष्य, चीज़ या पदार्थ के द्वारा लाचार नहीं किया जाएगा, और उसे किसी शत्रुतापूर्ण ताक़तों के द्वारा तितर-बितर नहीं किया जाएगा। अपने नए कार्य में, वह एक सर्वदा विजयी राजा है, और किन्हीं भी शत्रुतापूर्ण ताक़तों और मनुष्यजाति में से सभी विधर्मों और भ्रांतियों को उसकी चरण-पीठ के नीचे कुचल दिया जाता है। इस बात से कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता है कि वह अपने कार्य के किस नए स्तर पर काम कर रहा है, इसे मनुष्यजाति के बीच विकसित और विस्तारित अवश्य होना चाहिए, इसे संपूर्ण विश्व में तब तक अबाधित रूप से अवश्य कार्यान्वित किया जाना चाहिए जब तक कि उसका महान कार्य पूर्ण नहीं हो जाता है। यह परमेश्वर की सर्वशक्तिमत्ता और बुद्धि, और उसका अधिकार और उसकी सामर्थ्य है। इस प्रकार, प्रभु यीशु मसीह खुलकर बाहर जा सकता था और सब्त के दिन कार्य कर सकता था क्योंकि उसके हृदय में कोई नियम नहीं थे, और वहाँ मनुष्यजाति से उत्पन्न कोई ज्ञान और सिद्धांत नहीं था। उसके पास जो था वह परमेश्वर का नया कार्य और उसका मार्ग था, और उसका कार्य मनुष्यजाति को स्वतन्त्र करना था, उसे मुक्त करना था, उन्हें प्रकाश में बने रहने की अनुमति देना था, और उन्हें जीने की अनुमति देना था। और जो मूर्तियों या झूठे ईश्वरों की पूजा करते हैं वे, सभी प्रकार के नियमों और वर्जनाओं से नियंत्रित, हर दिन शैतान के बन्धनों में जीते हैं—आज एक चीज़ का निषेध होता है, कल किसी दूसरी चीज़ का निषेध होता है—उनके जीवन में कोई स्वतन्त्रता नहीं है। वे जंज़ीरों में जकड़े हुए कैदियों के समान हैं जिनके पास कोई खुशी नहीं है जिसके बारे में वे बात करें। “निषेध” क्या दर्शाता है? यह विवशता, बन्धनों, और दुष्टता को दर्शाता है। जैसे ही कोई व्यक्ति किसी मूर्ति की आराधना करता है तो वह एक झूठे ईश्वर की आराधना कर रहा होता है, वह एक दुष्ट आत्मा की आराधना कर रहा होता है। प्रतिबन्ध इसके साथ आता है। तुम यह या वह नहीं खा सकते हो, तुम आज बाहर नहीं जा सकते हो, तुम कल अपना चूल्हा नहीं जला सकते हो, तुम अगले दिन नए घर में नहीं जा सकते हो, विवाह तथा अन्तिम क्रिया के लिए, और यहाँ तक कि बच्चे को जन्म देने के लिए भी कुछ निश्चित दिनों को ही चुनना होगा। यह क्या कहलाता है? यही प्रतिबन्ध कहलाता है; यह मनुष्यजाति का बंधन है, और ये शैतान की जंज़ीरें हैं और दुष्ट आत्माएँ इन्हें नियन्त्रित कर रही हैं, और उनके हृदयों और शरीरों को अवरुद्ध कर रही हैं। क्या ये प्रतिबन्ध परमेश्वर के साथ विद्यमान रहते हैं? जब परमेश्वर की पवित्रता की बात करते हैं, तो तुम्हें सबसे पहले यह सोचना चाहिएः कि परमेश्वर के साथ कोई भी निषेध नहीं है। परमेश्वर के वचनों और कार्य में उसके सिद्धांत हैं, किन्तु कोई निषेध नहीं हैं, क्योंकि परमेश्वर स्वयं सत्य, मार्ग, और जीवन है।

 

आओ हम निम्नलिखित अंश को देखें: “पर मैं तुम से कहता हूँ कि यहाँ वह है जो मन्दिर से भी बड़ा है। यदि तुम इसका अर्थ जानते, ‘मैं दया से प्रसन्न होता हूँ, बलिदान से नहीं,’ तो तुम निर्दोष को दोषी न ठहराते। मनुष्य का पुत्र तो सब्त के दिन का भी प्रभु है” (मत्ती 12:6-8)। यहाँ “मन्दिर” किस का इशारा करता है? आसान शब्दों में कहें तो, “मन्दिर” एक शोभायमान, ऊँची इमारत का इशारा करता है, और व्यवस्था के युग में, मन्दिर परमेश्वर की आराधना हेतु याजकों के लिए एक स्थान था। जब प्रभु यीशु ने कहा, “कि यहाँ वह है जो मन्दिर से भी बड़ा है,” यहाँ “वह” किसकी ओर इशारा करता है? स्पष्ट रूप से “वह” प्रभु यीशु है जो देह में है, क्योंकि केवल वही मन्दिर से बड़ा था। उन वचनों ने लोगों से क्या कहा? उन्होंने लोगों को मन्दिर से बाहर आने के लिए कहा—परमेश्वर पहले ही बाहर आ चुका था और उसमें अब और कार्य नहीं कर रहा था, इसलिए लोगों को मन्दिर के बाहर परमेश्वर के पदचिह्नों को ढूँढ़ना चाहिए और उसके नए कार्य में उसके कदमों का अनुसरण करना चाहिए। प्रभु यीशु मसीह के इस कथन की पृष्ठभूमि यह थी कि व्यवस्था के अधीन, लोग किसी ऐसी चीज़ के रूप में मन्दिर को देखने के लिए आए थे जो स्वयं परमेश्वर से भी बड़ा था। अर्थात्, लोग परमेश्वर की आराधना करने के बजाए मन्दिर की आराधना करते थे, इसलिए प्रभु यीशु मसीह ने उन्हें सावधान किया कि वे मूर्तियों की आराधना न करें, बल्कि परमेश्वर की आराधना करें क्योंकि वह सर्वोच्च है। इसलिए उसने कहाः “मैं दया से प्रसन्न होता हूँ, बलिदान से नहीं।” यह स्पष्ट है कि प्रभु यीशु की नज़रों में, व्यवस्था के अधीन अधिकांश लोग यहोवा की अब और आराधना नही करते थे, बल्कि मात्र बलिदान की प्रक्रिया से होकर जाते थे, और प्रभु यीशु ने निर्धारित किया था कि यह प्रक्रिया मूर्ति पूजा है। इन मूर्ति पूजकों ने मन्दिर को परमेश्वर से अधिक महान और उच्चतर रूप में देखा था। उनके हृदयों में केवल मन्दिर था, न कि परमेश्वर, और यदि वे मन्दिर को खो देते हैं, तो वे अपने निवास स्थान को भी खो देते हैं। मन्दिर के बिना उनके पास आराधना के लिए कोई जगह नहीं थी और वे बलिदानों को कार्यान्वित नहीं कर सकते थे। उनका तथाकथित निवास स्थान वहाँ है जहाँ से वे यहोवा परमेश्वर की आराधना के झण्डे तले संचालन करते थे, जहाँ उन्हें मन्दिर के टिके रहने और अपने स्वयं के क्रियाकलापों को करने की अनुमति दी जाती थी। उनके तथाकथित बलिदानों को चढ़ाना मन्दिर में उनकी सेवा आयोजित करने के बहाने बस उनके स्वयं के व्यक्तिगत शर्मनाक व्यवहारों को कार्यान्वित करने के लिए था। यही वह कारण था कि उस समय लोग मन्दिर को परमेश्वर से भी बड़ा देखते थे। क्योंकि वे मन्दिर को एक आड़ के रूप में, और बलिदानों को लोगों को धोखा देने और परमेश्वर को धोखो देने के लिए एक बहाने के रूप में उपयोग करते थे, इसलिए प्रभु यीशु ने लोगों को चेतावनी देने के लिए ऐसा कहा था। …

 

आगे, आओ हम पवित्रशास्त्र के इस अंश के इस अन्तिम वाक्य पर एक नज़र डालें: “मनुष्य का पुत्र तो सब्त के दिन का भी प्रभु है।” क्या इस वाक्य का कोई व्यावहारिक पक्ष है? क्या तुम लोग इसके व्यावहारिक पक्ष को देख सकते हो? हर एक बात जो परमेश्वर कहता है उसके हृदय से आती है, तो उसने ऐसा क्यों कहा? तुम लोग इसे कैसे समझते हो? हो सकता है तुम लोग इस वाक्य का अर्थ अब समझते हों, परन्तु उस समय बहुत से लोग नही समझते थे क्योंकि मनुष्यजाति बस उसी समय व्यवस्था के युग से बाहर निकली थी। उनके लिए, सब्त से बाहर निकलना एक कठिन बात थी, और सच्चा सब्त क्या होता है इसे समझने का तो ज़िक्र ही मत करो।

  

यह वाक्य “मनुष्य का पुत्र तो सब्त के दिन का भी प्रभु है” लोगों को बताता है कि परमेश्वर का सब कुछ अभौतिक है, और यद्यपि परमेश्वर तुम्हारी सारी भौतिक आवश्यकताओं को प्रदान कर सकता है, फिर भी जब एक बार तुम्हारी भौतिक आवश्यकताएँ पूरी कर दी जाती हैं, तो क्या इन चीज़ों से सन्तुष्टि तुम्हारी सत्य की खोज का स्थान ले सकती है? यह निःसन्देह संभव नहीं है! परमेश्वर का स्वभाव और उसका स्वरूप जिसके बारे में हमने संगति की है दोनों सत्य हैं। इसे भौतिक वस्तुओं की भारी कीमत के साथ भी नहीं तौला जा सकता है और न ही इसके मूल्य की पैसों में मात्रा निर्धारित की जा सकती है, क्योंकि यह कोई भौतिक वस्तु नहीं है, और यह हर एक व्यक्ति के हृदय की आवश्यकताओं की आपूर्ति करता है। प्रत्येक मनुष्य के लिए, इन अमूर्त सच्चाईयों का मूल्य ऐसी किसी भी भौतिक चीज़ से बढ़कर होना चाहिए जिसे तुम अच्छा समझते हो, ठीक है न? यह कथन कुछ ऐसा है जिस पर तुम लोगों को टिके रहने की आवश्यकता है। जो कुछ मैंने कहा है उसका मुख्य बिन्दु यह है कि परमेश्वर का स्वरूप और उसका सब कुछ हर एक व्यक्ति के लिए अति महत्वपूर्ण चीज़ें हैं और इन्हें किसी भौतिक पदार्थ के द्वारा बदला नहीं जा सकता है। मैं तुम्हें एक उदाहरण दूँगाः जब तुम्हें भूख लगती है, तो तुम्हें भोजन की आवश्यकता होती है। यह भोजन सापेक्ष रूप से अच्छा हो सकता है, या सापेक्ष रूप से कमी वाला हो सकता है, किन्तु जब तुम अपना पेट भर लेते हो, तो भूखे होने का वह अप्रिय एहसास अब और नहीं होगा—वह चला जाएगा। तुम वहाँ आराम से बैठ सकते हो, और तुम्हारा शरीर आराम में होगा। लोगों की भूख का भोजन से समाधान किया जा सकता है, किन्तु जब तुम परमेश्वर का अनुसरण करते हो, और तुम्हें यह एहसास होता है कि तुम्हें उसके बारे में कोई समझ नहीं है? तो तुम अपने हृदय के खालीपन का समाधान कैसे करोगे? क्या इसका समाधान भोजन से किया जा सकता है? या जब तुम परमेश्वर का अनुसरण कर रहे हो और उसकी इच्छा तुम्हारी समझ में नहीं आती है, तो तुम अपने हृदय की उस भूख को मिटाने के लिए किस चीज़ का उपयोग कर सकते हो? परमेश्वर के माध्यम से उद्धार के तुम्हारे अनुभव की प्रक्रिया में, अपने स्वभाव में किसी परिवर्तन की खोज करने के दौरान, यदि तुम उसकी इच्छा को नहीं समझते हो या यह नहीं जानते हो कि सत्य क्या है, और यदि तुम परमेश्वर के स्वभाव को नहीं समझते हो, तो क्या तुम बहुत व्याकुलता महसूस नहीं करते हो? क्या तुम अपने हृदय में एक बड़ी भूख और प्यास महसूस नहीं करते हो? क्या ये एहसास तुम्हें तुम्हारे हृदय में शांति महसूस करने से रोकते नहीं हैं? तो कैसे तुम अपने हृदय की उस भूख की क्षतिपूर्ति कर सकते हो—क्या इसका समाधान करने का कोई तरीका है? कुछ लोग खरीददारी करने के लिए बाज़ार चले जाते हैं, कुछ लोग भरोसा करने के लिए मित्रों को ढूँढ़ लेते हैं, कुछ लोग जी भरकर सोते हैं, अन्य लोग परमेश्वर के वचनों को और अधिक पढ़ते हैं, या अपने कर्तव्यों को निभाने के लिए कठिन मेहनत और अधिक प्रयास व्यय करते हैं। क्या ये चीज़े तुम्हारी वास्तविक कठिनाईयों का समाधान कर सकती हैं? तुम लोगों में से सभी इस प्रकार के अभ्यासों को पूर्णत: समझ लो। जब तुम निर्बलता महसूस करते हो, जब तुम परमेश्वर से प्रबुद्धता पाने की दृढ़ इच्छा महसूस करते हो ताकि वह तुम्हें उसकी सच्चाई और उसकी इच्छा की वास्तविकता को जानने की अनुमति दे सके, तो तुम्हें सबसे ज़्यादा किसकी आवश्यकता होती है? तुम्हें जिसकी आवश्यकता होती है वह भरपेट आहार नहीं है, और यह कुछ भले वचन नहीं हैं। उससे बढ़कर, यह देह का क्षणिक आराम और देह की सन्तुष्टि नहीं है—तुम्हें जिसकी आवश्यक है वह है कि परमेश्वर तुम्हें सीधे और स्पष्ट रूप से बताए कि तुम्हें क्या करना चाहिए और तुम्हें इसे कैसे करना करना चाहिए, और तुम्हें स्पष्ट रूप से बताए कि सत्य क्या है। तुम्हारे द्वारा इसे समझ लेने के बाद, भले ही यह थोड़ा सा ही क्यों ना हो, क्या तुम एक अच्छा भोजन कर लेने की तुलना में अपने हृदय में अधिक सन्तुष्टि महसूस नहीं करते हो? जब तुम्हारा हृदय सन्तुष्ट होता है, तो क्या तुम्हारा हृदय, तुम्हारा सम्पूर्ण व्यक्तित्व सच्ची शांति प्राप्त नहीं करता है? इस दृष्टान्त और विश्लेषण के द्वारा, क्या तुम लोगों को अब समझ में आया कि क्यों मैं तुम लोगों के साथ इस वाक्य को साझा करना चाहता था कि, “मनुष्य का पुत्र तो सब्त के दिन का भी प्रभु है”? इसका वह अर्थ है जो परमेश्वर से आता है, जो उसका स्वरूप है, और उसका सब कुछ किसी भी अन्य चीज़ से बढ़कर है, जिसमें वह चीज़ या वह व्यक्ति भी शामिल है जिस पर तुमने किसी समय विश्वास किया था और जिसे तुमने सबसे अधिक सँजोया था। अर्थात्, यदि मनुष्य परमेश्वर के मुँह के वचन प्राप्त नहीं कर सकते हैं या वे उसकी इच्छा को नहीं समझते हैं, तो वे शांति प्राप्त नहीं कर सकते हैं। अपने भविष्य के अनुभवों में, तुम लोग समझोगे कि मैं क्यों चाहता था कि आज तुम लोग इस अंश को देखो—यह बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। सब कुछ जो परमेश्वर करता है वह सत्य और जीवन है। मनुष्य-जाति के लिए सत्य कोई ऐसी चीज़ है जिसकी उनके जीवन में कमी नहीं हो सकती है, जिसके बिना वे कभी कुछ नहीं कर सकते हैं; तुम ऐसा भी कह सकते हो कि यह सबसे बड़ी चीज़ है। यद्यपि तुम उसे देख या उसे छू नहीं सकते हो, फिर भी तुम्हारे लिए उसके महत्व की उपेक्षा नहीं की जा सकती है; यही वह एकमात्र चीज़ है जो तुम्हारे हृदय में शांति ला सकती है।

Este es el brazalete que presenté al concurso de Beads Perles

cuyas piezas debían basarse en las exquisitas joyas de Todd Reed

www.toddreed.com/

En realidad, no sabía dónde me metía cuando pensé en hacer esta pieza; de la panzá a limar que me di no me quiero ni acordar, pero lo peor estaba por venir: el verdadero problema fue hacer todos los agujeros perfectamente alineados y a distancias exactas, porque quería que fueran esas anillas y no otras, y medio milímetro arriba o abajo hacía que no encajaran bien. Después de varias pruebas con taladradora de mano y desperdicio de material, tuve que comprar un pie fijo para sujetar la taladradora, y esa fue la solución, porque así pude hacerlos con una precisión inimaginable.

Está realizado con plata (oxidada la zona más oscura), pequeños cubos Miyuki de 1´8 mm., Gold Filled y símiles Swarovski.

Para hacer la foto, otro problema, porque los imanes de los cierres creaban unos campos magnéticos en todas las láminas, que hacían que se retrayeran y no se quedaran en su sitio...¡Ufff! si hago otro como éste no será más que con una pistola en la sien.

Plot Contains Spoilers:

In Klingon space, three Klingon battle cruisers encounter a huge cloud-like anomaly. On the bridge of one of the ships, the captain (Mark Lenard) orders his crew to fire torpedoes at it, but they have no effect. The ships take evasive action.

 

Meanwhile, in Federation space, a monitoring station, Epsilon 9, picks up a distress signal from one of the Klingon ships. As the three ships are attempting to escape the cloud, energy beams shoot out and engulf each ship one by one, and they vanish. On Epsilon 9, the crew tracks the course of the cloud and discovers that it is headed for Earth.

 

On Vulcan, Spock (Leonard Nimoy) has been undergoing the kohlinahr ritual, in which he has been learning how to purge all of his emotions, and is nearly finished with his training. A female Vulcan Master (Edna Glover), surrounded by two men, is about to give him an ornate necklace as a symbol of pure logic, when Spock holds out his hand to stop her. Confused, she mind-melds with him and senses a consciousness calling to him from space that is affecting his human side. She drops the necklace. "You have not yet achieved kohlinahr. You must look elsewhere for your answer," she says as they leave Spock. "You will not find it here."

 

In San Francisco, Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) arrives at Starfleet Headquarters in a shuttlecraft. He sees Commander Sonak (Jon Rashad Kamal), a Vulcan science officer who is joining the Enterprise crew and recommended for the position by Kirk himself. Kirk is bothered as to why Sonak is not on board yet. Sonak explains that Captain Willard Decker (Stephen Collins), the new captain of the Enterprise, wanted him to complete his science briefing at Headquarters before they left on their mission. The Enterprise has been undergoing a complete "refitting" for the past 18 months and is now under final preparations to leave, which would take at least 20 hours, but Kirk informs him that they only have 12. He tells Sonak to report to him on the Enterprise in one hour; he has a short meeting with Admiral Nogura and is intent on being on the ship.

 

Kirk transports to an office complex orbiting Earth and meets Montgomery Scott (James Doohan), the Enterprise's chief engineer. Scotty expresses his concern about the tight departure time. The cloud is less than three days away from Earth, and the Enterprise has been ordered to intercept it because they are the only ship in range. Scotty says that the refit can't be finished in 12 hours, and tries to convince him that the ship needs more work done as well as a shakedown cruise. Kirk insists that they are leaving, ready or not. They board a travel pod and begin the journey over to the drydock in orbit that houses the Enterprise.

 

Scotty tells Kirk that the crew hasn't had enough transition time with all the new equipment and that the engines haven't even been tested at warp power, not to mention that they have an untried captain. Kirk tells Scotty that two and a half years as Chief of Starfleet Operations may have made him a little stale, but that he wouldn't exactly consider himself untried. Kirk then tells a surprised Scotty that Starfleet gave him back his command of the Enterprise. Scotty doubts it, saying that he doesn't think it was that easy with Admiral Nogura, who gave Kirk his orders. They arrive at the Enterprise, and Scotty indulges Kirk with a brief tour of the new exterior of the ship.

 

Upon docking with the ship, Scotty is summoned to Engineering. Kirk goes up to the bridge, and is informed by Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) that Starfleet has just transferred command from Captain Decker over to him. Kirk finds Decker in engineering, whom is visibly upset when Kirk breaks the news that he is assuming command, but recognizes it is because Kirk has more experience. Decker will remain on the ship as 2nd officer. As Decker storms off, an alarm sounds. Someone is trying to beam over to the ship, but the transporter is malfunctioning. Kirk and Scotty race to the transporter room. Transporter operator Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney) is frantically trying to tell Starfleet to abort the transport, but it is too late. Commander Sonak and an unknown female officer are beaming in, but their bodies aren't re-forming properly in the beam. The female officer screams, and then their bodies disappear. Starfleet signals to them that they have died. Kirk tells Starfleet to express his sympathies to their families.

 

In the corridor, Kirk sees Decker and tells him they will have to replace Commander Sonak and wants another Vulcan. Decker tells him that no one is available that is familiar with the ship's new design. Kirk tells Decker he will have to double his duties as science officer as well.

 

In the recreation room, as Kirk briefs the assembled crew on the mission, they receive a transmission from Epsilon 9. Commander Branch (David Gautreaux) tells them they have analyzed the mysterious cloud. It generates an immense amount of energy and measures 2 A.U.s (300 million km) in diameter. There is also a vessel of some kind in the center. They've tried to communicate with it and have performed scans, but the cloud reflects them back. It seems to think of the scans as hostile and attacks them. Like the Klingon ships earlier, Epsilon 9 disappears.

 

Later on the bridge, Uhura informs Kirk that the transporter is working now. Lt. Ilia, (Persis Khambatta), a bald being from the planet Delta IV, arrives. Decker is happy to see her, as they developed a romantic relationship when he was assigned to her planet several years earlier. Ilia is curious about Decker's reduction in rank and Kirk interrupts and tells her about Decker being the executive and science officer. Decker tells her, with slight sarcasm, that Kirk has the utmost confidence in him. Ilia tells Kirk that her oath of celibacy is on record and asks permission to assume her duties. Uhura tells Kirk that one of the last few crew members to arrive is refusing to beam up. Kirk goes to the transporter room to ensure that "he" beams up.

 

Kirk tells Starfleet to beam the officer aboard. Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley) materializes on the platform. McCoy is angry that his Starfleet commission was reactivated and that it was Kirk's idea for him to be brought along on the mission. His attitude changes, however, when Kirk says he desperately needs him. McCoy leaves to check out the new sickbay.

 

The crew finishes its repairs and the Enterprise leaves drydock and into the solar system. Dr. McCoy comes up to the bridge and complains that the new sickbay is nothing but a computer center. Kirk is anxious to intercept the cloud intruder, and orders Hikaru Sulu (George Takei) to go to warp speed. Suddenly, the ship enters a wormhole, which was created by an engine imbalance, and is about to collide with an asteroid that has been pulled inside. Kirk orders the phasers to be fired on it, but Decker tells Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) to fire photon torpedoes instead. The asteroid and the wormhole are destroyed. Annoyed, Kirk wants to meet with Decker in his quarters. Dr. McCoy decides to go along.

 

Kirk demands an explanation from Decker. Decker pointed out that the redesigned Enterprise channeled the phasers through the main engines and because they were imbalanced, the phasers were cut off. Kirk acknowledged that he had saved the ship; however, he accuses Decker of competing with him. Decker tells Kirk that, because of his unfamiliarity with the ship's new design, the mission is in jeopardy. Decker tells Kirk that he will gladly help Kirk understand the new design. Kirk then dismisses him from the room. In the corridor, Decker runs into Ilia. Ilia asked if the confrontation was difficult, and he tells her that it was about as difficult as seeing her again, and apologizes. She asked if he was sorry for leaving Delta IV, or for not saying goodbye. He said that if he had seen her again, would she be able to say goodbye? She says "no," and walked around him and entered her quarters nearby.

 

Back in Kirk's quarters, McCoy accuses Kirk of being the one who was competing, and the fact that it was Kirk who used the emergency to pressure Starfleet into letting him get command of the Enterprise. McCoy thinks that Kirk is obsessed with keeping his command. On Kirk's console viewscreen, Uhura informs Kirk that a shuttlecraft is approaching and that the occupant wishes to dock. Chekov also pipes in and replies that it appears to be a courier vessel. Kirk tells Chekov to handle the situation.

 

The shuttle approaches the Enterprise from behind, and the top portion of it detaches and docks at an airlock behind the bridge. Chekov is waiting by the airlock doors and is surprised to see Spock come aboard. Moments later, Spock arrives on the bridge, and everyone is shocked and pleased to see him, yet Spock ignores them. He moves over to the science station and tells Kirk that he is aware of the crisis and knows about the ship's engine design difficulties. He offers to step in as the science officer. McCoy and Dr. Christine Chapel (Majel Barret Roddenberry) come to the bridge to greet Spock, but Spock just stares alarmingly at their emotional outburst. Spock leaves to discuss fuel equations with Scotty in engineering.

 

With Spock's assistance, the engines are now rebalanced for full warp capacity. The ship successfully goes to warp to intercept the cloud. In the officers lounge, Spock meets with Kirk and McCoy. They discuss Spock's kohlinahr training on Vulcan, and how Spock broke off from his training to join them. Spock describes how he sensed the consciousness of the intruder, from a source more powerful that he has ever encountered, with perfect, logical thought patterns. He believes that it holds the answers he seeks. Uhura tells Kirk over the intercom that they have visual contact with the intruder.

 

The cloud scans the ship, but Kirk orders no return scans. Spock determines that the scans are coming from the center of the cloud. Uhura tries sending "linguacode" messages, but there is no response. Decker suggests raising the shields for protection, but Kirk determines that that might be considered hostile to the cloud. Spock analyzes the clouds composition, and discovers it has a 12-power energy field, the equivalent of power generated by thousands of starships.

 

Sitting at the science station, Spock awakens from a brief trance. He reveals to Kirk that the alien was communicating with him. The alien is puzzled; it contacted the Enterprise--why has the Enterprise not replied? A red alert sounds, and an energy beam from within the cloud touches the ship, and begins to overload the ship's systems. Bolts of lightning surround the warp core and nearly injure some engineering officers, and Chekov is also hurt--his hand is burned while sitting at the weapons station on the bridge. The energy beam then disappears. A medical team is summoned to the bridge, and Ilia is able to use her telepathic powers to soothe Chekov's pain.

 

Spock confirms to Kirk that the alien has been attempting to communicate. It communicates at a frequency of more than one million megahertz, and at such a high rate of speed, the message only lasts a millisecond. Spock programs to computer to send linguacode messages at that frequency. Another energy beam is sent out, but Spock transmits a message just in time, and the beam disappears. The ship continues on course through the cloud. They pass through many expansive and colorful cloud layers and upon clearing these, a giant vessel is revealed. It is roughly cylindrical in shape, with large spikes jutting out from the surface at equidistant angles between each other, forming a hexagon-like shape.

 

Kirk tells Uhura to transmit an image of the alien to Starfleet, but she explains that any transmission sent out of the cloud is being reflected back to them. Kirk orders Sulu to fly above and along the top of the vessel. The Enterprise is so small compared to the size of the alien vessel that it appears only as a little white dot next to it. The ship travels past many oddly-shaped structures, including a sunken area where the energy beams originate.

 

An alarm sounds, and yet another energy bolt approaches the ship. It appears on the bridge as a column of bright light that emits a very loud noise. The crew struggles to shield their eyes from its brilliant glow. Chekov asks Spock if it is one of the alien's crew, and Spock replies that it is a probe sent from the vessel. The probe slowly moves around the room and stops in front of the science station. Bolts of lightning shoot out from it and surround the console--it is trying to access the ship's computer. Spock manages to smash the controls to prevent further access, and the probe gives him an electric shock that sends him rolling onto the floor. The probe approaches the helm/navigation console and it scans Lt. Ilia. Suddenly, she vanishes, along with the probe.

 

Ahead of the ship looms another giant section of the vessel. A tractor beam is drawing the Enterprise toward an opening aperture. Decker calls for Chief DiFalco (Marcy Lafferty) to come up to the bridge as Ilia's replacement. The ship travels deep into the next chamber. Decker wonders why they were brought inside--they could have been easily destroyed outside. Spock deduces that the alien is curious about them. Uhura's monitor shows that the aperture is closing; they are trapped. The ship is released from the tractor beam and suddenly, an intruder alert goes off. Someone has come aboard the ship and is in the crew quarters section.

 

Kirk and Spock arrive inside a crewman's quarters to discover that the intruder is inside the sonic shower. It is revealed to be Ilia, although it isn't really her--there is a small red device attached to her neck. In a mechanized voice, she replies "You are the Kirk unit--you will listen to me." She explains that she has been programmed by an entity called "V'Ger" to observe and record the normal functions of the carbon-based units (humans) "infesting" the Enterprise. Kirk opens the shower door and "Ilia" steps out, wearing a small white garment that just materialized around her. Dr. McCoy and a security officer enter the room, and Kirk tells McCoy to scan her with a tricorder.

 

Kirk asks her who V'Ger is. She replies "V'Ger is that which programmed me." McCoy tells Kirk that Ilia is a mechanism and Spock confirms she is a probe that assumed Ilia's physical form. Kirk asks where the real Ilia is, and the probe states that "that unit" no longer functions. Kirk also asks why V'Ger is traveling to Earth, and the probe answers that it wishes to find the Creator, join with him, and become one with it. Spock suggests that McCoy perform a complete examination of the probe.

 

In sickbay, the Ilia probe lays on a diagnostic table, its sensors slowly taking readings. All normal body functions, down to the microscopic level, are exactly duplicated by the probe. Decker arrives and is stunned to see her there. She looks up at him and addresses him as "Decker", rather than "Decker unit," which intrigues Spock. Spock talks with Kirk and Decker in an adjoining room, and Spock locks the door. Spock theorizes that the real Ilia's memories and feelings have been duplicated by the probe as well as her body. Decker is angry that the probe killed Ilia, but Kirk convinces him that their only contact with the vessel is through the probe, and they need to use that advantage to find out more about the alien. Suddenly, the probe bursts through the door, and demands that Kirk assist her with her observations. He tells her that Decker will do it with more efficiency.

 

Decker and Ilia are seen walking around in the recreation room. He shows her pictures of previous ships that were named Enterprise. Decker has been trying to see if Ilia's memories or emotions can resurface, but to no avail. Kirk and McCoy are observing them covertly on a monitor from his quarters. Decker shows her a game that the crew enjoys playing. She is not interested and states that recreation and enjoyment has no meaning to her programming. At another game, which Ilia enjoyed and nearly always won, they both press one of their hands down onto a table to play it. The table lights up, indicating she won the game, and she gazes into Deckers eyes. This moment of emotion ends suddenly, and she returns to normal. "This device serves no purpose."

 

"Why does the Enterprise require the presence of carbon units?" she asks. Decker tells her the ship couldn't function without them. She tells him that more information is needed before the crew can be patterned for data storage. Horrified, he asks her what this means. "When my examination is complete, all carbon units will be reduced to data patterns." He tells her that within her are the memory patterns of a certain carbon unit. He convinces her to let him help her revive those patterns so that she can understand their functions better. She allows him to proceed.

 

Spock slowly enters an airlock room. He sees an officer standing at a console, his back to Spock. Spock quietly approaches him, and gives him the Vulcan nerve pinch to render him unconscious.

 

Decker, the probe, Dr. McCoy, and Dr. Chapel are in Ilia's quarters. Dr. Chapel gives the probe a decorative headband that Ilia used to wear. Chapel puts it over "Ilia's" head and turns her toward a mirror. Decker asks her if she remembers wearing it on Delta IV. The probe shows another moment of emotion, saying Dr. Chapel's name, and putting her hand on Decker's face, calling him Will. Behind them, McCoy reminds Decker that she is a mechanism. Decker asks "Ilia" to help them make contact with V'Ger. She says that she can't, and Decker asks her who the Creator is. She says V'Ger does not know. The probe becomes emotionless again and removes the headband.

 

Spock is now outside the ship in a space suit with an attached thruster pack. He begins recording a log entry for Kirk detailing his attempt to contact the alien. He activates a panel on the suit and calculates thruster ignition and acceleration to coincide with the opening of an aperture ahead of him. He hopes to get a better view of the spacecraft interior.

 

Kirk comes up to the bridge and Uhura tells him that Starfleet signals are growing stronger, indicating they are very close to Earth. Starfleet is monitoring the intruder and notifies Uhura that it is slowing down in its approach. Sulu confirms this and says that lunar beacons show the intruder is entering into orbit. Chekov tells Kirk that Airlock 4 has been opened and a thruster suit is missing. Kirk figures out that Spock has done it, and orders Chekov to get Spock back on the ship. He changes his mind, and instead tells him to determine his position.

 

Spock touches a button on his thruster panel and his thruster engine ignites. He is propelled forward rapidly, and enters the next chamber of the vessel just before the aperture closes behind him. The thruster engine shuts down, and the momentum carries Spock ahead further. He disconnects the thruster pack from his suit and it falls away from him.

 

Continuing his log entry, Spock sees an image of what he believes to be V'Gers home planet. He passes through a tunnel filled with crackling plasma energy, possibly a power source for a gigantic imaging system. Next, he sees several more images of planets, moons, stars, and galaxies stored and recorded. Spock theorizes that this may be a visual representation of V'Gers entire journey. "But who or what are we dealing with?" he ponders.

 

He sees the Epsilon 9 station, and notes to Kirk that he is convinced that all of what he is seeing is V'Ger; and that they are inside a living machine. Then he sees a giant image of Lt. Ilia with the sensor on her neck. Spock decides it must have some special meaning, so he attempts to mind-meld with it. He is quickly overwhelmed by the multitude of images flooding his mind, and is thrown backward.

 

Kirk is now in a space suit and has exited the ship. The aperture in front of the Enterprise opens, and Spock's unconscious body floats toward him. Later, Dr. Chapel and Dr. McCoy are examining Spock in sickbay. Dr. McCoy performs scans and determines that Spock endured massive neurological trauma from the mind-meld. Spock tells Kirk he should have known and Kirk asks if he was right about V'Ger. Spock calls it a conscious, living entity. Kirk explains that V'Ger considers the Enterprise a living machine and it's why "Ilia" refers to the ship as an entity and the crew as an infestation.

 

Spock describes V'Ger's homeworld as a planet populated by living machines with unbelievable technology. But with all that logic and knowledge, V'Ger is barren, with no mystery or meaning. He momentarily lapses into sleep but Kirk rouses him awake to ask what Spock should have known. Spock grasps Kirk's hand and tells him "This simple feeling is beyond V'Ger's comprehension. No meaning, no hope. And Jim, no answers. It's asking questions. 'Is this all that I am? Is there nothing more?'"

 

Uhura chimes in and tells Kirk that they are getting a faint signal from Starfleet. The intruder has been on their monitors for a while and the cloud is rapidly dissipating as it approaches. Sulu also comments that the intruder has slowed to sub-warp speed and is three minutes from Earth orbit. Kirk acknowledges and he, McCoy and Spock go up to the bridge.

 

Starfleet sends the Enterprise a tactical report on the intruders position. Uhura tells Kirk that V'Ger is transmitting a signal. Decker and "Ilia" come up to the bridge, and she says that V'Ger is signaling the Creator. Spock determines that the transmission is a radio signal. Decker tells Kirk that V'Ger expects an answer, but Kirk doesn't know the question. Then "Ilia" says that the Creator has not responded. An energy bolt is released from V'Ger and positions itself above Earth. Chekov reports that all planetary defense systems have just gone inoperative. Several more bolts are released, and they all split apart to form smaller ones and they assume equidistant positions around the planet.

 

McCoy notices that the bolts are the same ones that hit the ship earlier, and Spock says that these are hundreds of times more powerful, and from those positions, they can destroy all life on Earth. "Why?" Kirk asks "Ilia." She says that the carbon unit infestation will be removed from the Creator's planet as they are interfering with the Creator's ability to respond and accuses the crew of infesting the Enterprise and interfering in the same manner. Kirk tells "Ilia" that carbon units are a natural function of the Creator's planet and they are living things, not infestations. However "Ilia" says they are not true life forms like the Creator. McCoy realizes V'Ger must think its creator is a machine.

 

Spock compares V'Ger to a child, and suggests they treat it like one. McCoy retorts that this child is about to wipe out every living thing on Earth. To get "Ilia's" attention, Kirk says that the carbon units know why the Creator hasn't responded. The Ilia probe demands that the Creator "disclose the information." Kirk won't do it until V'Ger withdraws all the orbiting devices. In response to this, V'Ger cuts off the ship's communications with Starfleet. She tells him again to disclose the information. He refuses, and a plasma energy attack shakes the ship. McCoy tells Spock that the child is having a "tantrum."

 

Kirk tells the probe that if V'Ger destroys the Enterprise, then the information it needs will also be destroyed. Ilia says that it is illogical to withhold the required information, and asks him why he won't disclose it. Kirk explains it is because V'Ger is going to destroy all life on Earth. "Ilia" says that they have oppressed the Creator, and Kirk makes it clear he will not disclose anything. V'Ger needs the information, says "Ilia." Kirk says that V'Ger will have to withdraw all the orbiting devices. "Ilia" says that V'Ger will comply, if the carbon units give the information.

 

Spock tells Kirk that V'Ger must have a central brain complex. Kirk theorizes that the orbiting devices are controlled from there. Kirk tells "Ilia" that the information cant be disclosed to V'Ger's probe, but only to V'Ger itself. "Ilia" stares at the viewscreen, and, in response, the aperture opens and drags the ship forward with a tractor beam into the next chamber. Chekov tells Kirk that the energy bolts will reach their final positions and activate in 27 minutes. Kirk calls to Scotty on the intercom and tells him to stand by to execute Starfleet Order 2005; the self-destruct command. A female crewmember asks Scotty why Kirk ordered self-destruct, and Scotty tells her that Kirk hopes that when they explode, so will the intruder.

 

The countdown is now down to 18 minutes. DiFalco reports that they have traveled 17 kilometers inside the vessel. Kirk goes over to Spock's station, and sees that Spock has been crying. "Not for us," Kirk realizes. Spock tells him he is crying for V'Ger, and that he weeps for V'Ger as he would for a brother. As he was when he came aboard the Enterprise, so is V'Ger now--empty, incomplete, and searching. Logic and knowledge are not enough. McCoy realizes Spock has found what he needed, but that V'Ger hasn't. Decker wonders what V'Ger would need to fulfill itself.

 

Spock comments that each one of us, at some point in our lives asks, "Why am I here?" "What was I meant to be?" V'Ger hopes to touch its Creator and find those answers. DiFalco directs Kirk's attention to the viewscreen. Ahead of them is a structure with a bright light. Sulu reports that forward motion has stopped. Chekov replies that an oxygen/gravity envelope has formed outside of the ship. "Ilia" points to the structure on the screen and identifies it as V'Ger. Uhura has located the source of the radio signal and it is straight ahead. A passageway forms outside the ship as Kirk Spock, McCoy, Decker, and "Ilia" enter a turbolift.

 

The landing party exits an airlock on the top of the saucer section and walks up the passageway. At the end of the path is a concave structure, and in the center of it is an old NASA probe from three centuries earlier. Kirk tries to rub away the smudges on the nameplate and makes out the letters V G E R. He continues to rub, and discovers that the craft is actually Voyager 6. Kirk recalls the history of the Voyager program--it was designed to collect data and transmit it back to Earth. Decker tells Kirk that Voyager 6 disappeared through a black hole.

 

Kirk says that it must have emerged on the far side of the galaxy and got caught in the machine planet's gravity. Spock theorizes that the planet's inhabitants found the probe to be one of their own kind--primitive, yet kindred. They discovered the probe's 20th century programming, which was to collect data and return that information to its creator. The machines interpreted that instruction literally, and constructed the entire vessel so that Voyager could fulfill its programming. Kirk continues by saying that on its journey back, it amassed so much knowledge that it gained its own consciousness.

 

"Ilia" tells Kirk that V'Ger awaits the information. Kirk calls Uhura on his communicator and tells her to find information on the probe in the ship's computer, specifically the NASA code signal, which will allow the probe to transmit its data. Decker realizes that that is what the probe was signaling--it's ready to transmit everything. Kirk then says that there is no one on Earth who recognizes the old-style signal--the Creator does not answer.

 

Kirk calls out to V'Ger and says that they are the Creator. "Ilia" says that is not logical--carbon units are not true life forms. Kirk says they will prove it by allowing V'Ger to complete its programming. Uhura calls Kirk on his communicator and tells him she has retrieved the code. Kirk tells her to set the Enterprise transmitter to the code frequency and to transmit the signal. Decker reads off the numerical code on his tricorder, and is about to read the final sequence, but Voyager's circuitry burns out, an effort by V'Ger itself to prevent the last part of the code from being transmitted.

 

"Ilia" says that the Creator must join with V'Ger, and turns toward Decker. McCoy warns Kirk that they only have 10 minutes left. Decker figures out that V'Ger wanted to bring the Creator here and transmit the code in person. Spock tells Kirk that V'Ger's knowledge has reached the limits of the universe and it must evolve. Kirk says that V'Ger needs a human quality in order to evolve. Decker thinks that V'Ger joining with the Creator will accomplish that. He then goes over to the damaged circuitry and fixes the wires so he can manually enter the rest of the code through the ground test computer. Kirk tries to stop him, but "Ilia" tosses him aside. Decker tells Kirk that he wants this as much as Kirk wanted the Enterprise.

 

Suddenly, a bright light forms around Decker's body. "Ilia" moves over to him, and the light encompasses them both as they merge together. Their bodies disappear, and the light expands and begins to consume the area. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy retreat back to the Enterprise. V'Ger explodes, leaving the Enterprise above Earth, unharmed. On the bridge, Kirk wonders if they just saw the beginning of a new life form, and Spock says yes and that it is possibly the next step in their evolution. McCoy says that its been a while since he "delivered" a baby, and hopes that they got this one off to a good start.

 

Uhura tells Kirk that Starfleet is requesting the ship's damage and injury reports and vessel status. Kirk reports that there were only two casualties: Lt. Ilia and Captain Decker. He quickly corrects his statement and changes their status to "missing." Vessel status: fully operational. Scotty comes on the bridge and agrees with Kirk that it's time to give the Enterprise a proper shakedown. When Scotty offers to have Spock back on Vulcan in four days, Spock says that's unnecessary, as his task on Vulcan is completed.

 

Kirk tells Sulu to proceed ahead at warp factor one. When DiFalco asks for a heading, Kirk simply says "Out there, thataway." With that, the Enterprise flies overhead and engages warp drive.
