Le 7ème Sceau brisé : du corps profane au corps Glorieux
La Vidéo
blog.ehrmann.org/films/corps-profane.html
Au terme du 7ème Sceau brisé, un grand silence d'une demi-heure marqua la fin de la Borderline Biennial. thierry, notre père, nous avait promis à tous, que la Bordeline Biennial à la Demeure du Chaos serait avec ses 40 jours et 40 nuits le temps de l'Epiphanie, de l'Apparition, de la Théophanie.
Précisons de suite que le mot Apocalypse que la Borderline Biennial a questionné de mille manières la transcription d’un terme grec (apokalupsis) qui lui-même traduit l’hébreu nigla, lequel signifie mise à nu, enlèvement du voile ou révélation.
L’Apocalypse désigne la civilisation mondiale ayant enfin atteint un état de conscience propice au retour du divin. C’est aussi celui du salut final. La Borderline est plus qu’une épiphanie ; l’Apocalypse dont nous traitons ici est une épiphanie. Nous avons donc obéi à l’injonction contenue dans l’Apocalypse, Chapitre 1 verset 19, lequel ordonne à notre conscience de se placer hors du temps, de l’espace et de l’histoire et d’embrasser synthétiquement l’histoire de l’humanité.
Et ce fut le cas précis de la Borderline Biennial. Toutes brides morales et esthétiques lâchées : “écris donc ce que tu as vu : le présent et ce qui doit arriver plus tard”.
Vers la nuit tombée sur la Demeure du Chaos et lorsque le 7ème Sceau fut brisé par thierry, un grand silence se fit, et tous les feux s'éteignirent, alors apparût avec violence le spectre de l'Entité Numérique Suprême comme au début de la Borderline Biennial lors de la proclamation de la République du Chaos.
Son message fut clair et court, elle demandait au Père de la République du Chaos de revenir en 1999 et lui rappeler qu'il devait accomplir ses propres écritures. Disparaître et mourir de son corps profane pour renaître dans l'Internet profond qui reste pour lui une métaphore du divin, une agora des éthers.
Comme le Père fondateur de la République du Chaos est aussi notre père, l'Entité Numérique Suprême lui demanda de mourir de son corps profane pour renaître par le corps Glorieux dans l'agora des éthers qu'est Internet.
Il nous lut, fatigué par le poison de la grande ciguë en hommage à Socrate, une bien étrange prédiction "Pendant la dernière persécution que souffrira la sainte église romaine siégera un Pierre le Romain, il fera paître les brebis au niveau des nombreuses tribulations, celles-ci terminées, la cité aux 7 collines sera détruite et un juge redoutable jugera le peuple, le sien et que le mot qui termine cette prophétie est "FINIS".
Ce mot nous semblait à tous familier, effectivement, dans le catalogue raisonné de la Demeure du Chaos/l'Esprit de la Salamandre, page 1229, le texte sacré était là ! "Finis Gloriae Mundi" le tableau magistral de Valdès Léal à Séville qui fit que Fulcanelli ne publia pas son 3ème ouvrage.
Cette scène intitulée "Finis Gloriae Mundi" qui est peinte en format monumental au cœur de la Demeure du Chaos indique que le phylactère attaché au premier cercueil montre que l'Eglise est ici à jamais déchue au seul profit de l'éveil initiatique symbolisé par le Chevalier simulant la mort.
Souvenons nous des écrits du premier tome de la DDC " le Juge viendra juger son peuple" et que le mot qui termine le premier des trois tomes secrets de l'ouvrage alchimique de la Demeure du Chaos est "FINIS". "Même si ce mot est dur à accepter, la révélation n'en constitue pas moins la fin d'une étape de par le fait qu'avec elle il y a apport d'une chose nouvelle jusqu'alors maintenue, cachée ou inintelligible". "Ne les craignez donc point car il n'y a rien de caché qui ne doit être découvert ni de secret qui ne doit être connu".
Nous étions au bord des larmes et du désespoir, il nous demanda dans un dernier spasme de ne point pleurer et de reposer en paix dans le temple Protestant de Saint Romain de Couzon sur la nécropole en rallumant les feux de la loge selon les landmarks ancestraux.
9 hommes enterrèrent dans la nécropole son corps cadavérique enroulé dans un linceul noir couvert du drapeau de la République du Chaos..
Vers quelle destinée allions nous avec la jeune République du Chaos ?
Quelle est vraiment cette Entité Numérique Suprême ?
Cette fiction apocalyptique marqua cruellement la fin de la Borderline Biennial du 18 octobre 2009 vers 21h.
Quand d'un seul coup l’Egrégore s'invita parmi nous pour nous rappeler le début de l'œuvre alchimique et les paroles de thierry notre Père qui résonnaient dans nos têtes "cesse de pleurer et réjouis-toi quand tu verras la noirceur car c'est le début de l'œuvre".

Pasting from Wikipedia: Mini Moke:
• • • • •
The Mini Moke is a vehicle based on the Mini and designed for the British Motor Corporation (BMC) by Sir Alec Issigonis.[2] The name comes from "Mini"—the car with which the Moke shares many parts—and "Moke", which is an archaic dialect term for donkey.[3][4][5]
The initial design was a prototype for a light military vehicle in the style of the American Jeep, but its small wheels and low ground clearance made it impractical as an off-road vehicle. It was subsequently offered in a civilian version as a low-cost, easily maintained utility vehicle. The Moke finally achieved success as a beach buggy—becoming a popular 'cult' vehicle in the Seychelles, Australia, the United States and many tropical resorts in the Caribbean. The original Moke used identical engine, transmission and suspension parts to the basic Mini.[6][7]
Mokes were first built at the Morris factory in Oxford before production moved to BMC's Longbridge, Birmingham plant, and eventually overseas. 14,500 Mokes were produced in the UK between 1964 and 1968, 26,000 in Australia between 1966 and 1981, and 10,000 in Portugal between 1980 and 1993 when production of the Moke ended.[4]
www.huffingtonpost.com/visit-florida/a-banyan-tree-and-th...
The tree came to the inventor’s Fort Myers winter home in 1925, a four-foot Ficus benghalenis producing white sap that Edison and his friends Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone hoped to use in making natural rubber.
The banyan was not the answer. But it remained, growing to an acre in diameter, and becoming one of more than 1,000 plants from around the world ornamenting 25 acres dedicated mostly to the man who invented the electric light bulb, the phonograph and the motion picture.
Fifteen historic buildings stand in graceful restorative pose, including the Edisons’ home and guest house, a botanic research laboratory, an artesian-fed swimming pool dating to 1911, and Ford’s winter home. The combined Edison and Ford estates, museum, laboratory, and shops are open 363 days a year, closed only on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
The botanical specimens, many of them labeled for easy identification, offer shade for strollers - and sometimes a touch of the exotic. It is not every day one sees an African sausage tree bearing hot-dog shaped fruit.
Edison, of course, is more extensively associated with his inventions. He held more than 1,000 United States patents, and he submitted patent paperwork for a record 65 consecutive years. Among his lesser known creations: the talking doll, the electric train, alkaline batteries, a fruit preserver, and a stencil pen, the grandfather of today’s tattoo stylus.
“Really cool,” said Aaron Summers, a visitor from San Diego. “I didn’t realize how many patents Edison actually had.”
A 15,000-square-foot, air-conditioned museum details the world’s busiest inventor’s extraordinary career, which stretched from 1869 - when he was 22 years old - virtually to 1931, the year he died.
Among hundreds of items and documents in the museum is Edison’s original custom Model T, a gift from Ford. A more personal artifact is the frame Edison built for the phonograph he was devising. Hard of hearing, Edison rigged the phonograph to the frame, which he would bite to feel vibrations and “hear” the music. The wizard’s teeth marks are visible in the wood.
The museum’s newest exhibit chronicles the camping adventures of Edison, Ford, Firestone and turn-of-the-century naturalist and environmental writer John Burroughs. The “vagabonds,” as they referred to themselves, camped throughout Florida and the United States.
Also on display is “Edison After 40,” an exhibit on loan from the Smithsonian Institution. It includes images from Edison’s middle and later years. In counterpoint, “The Child Wizard” shows early images of Edison as a youth, as captured in Michael Dooling’s award-winning book, Young Thomas Edison.
And not to be missed are the entertainment artifacts: phonographs, movie projectors, nickelodeons and films.
“I learned a lot of new things. So many inventions. I loved the phonographic demonstrations,” said Susan Wood, who is from England.
More than 200,000 visitors per year come to the property, where Edison and his family spent winter seasons starting in 1885. For $2,750, the inventor bought the property from the family of Jacob Summerlin, a legendary Florida cowman known as the King of the Crackers.
“This house is a dream . . . and we are living in Fairyland,” Edison’s wife Mina wrote of the Florida retreat, which was dubbed “Seminole Lodge.” At its edge, the broad Caloosahatchee River whispers against a restored limestone-and-coquina seawall.
Edison was perhaps “green” before the word became fashionable. Some of his words on the subject are posted in the museum: “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.” Edison wrote that in 1931.
Ford bought property next door to his mentor in 1916. As a youth, the motor company founder worked at an Edison company in Detroit. The budding auto magnate used his spare time tinkering with gas-powered engines. The two entrepreneurs met at a convention in 1896, and Edison encouraged the younger man. The two proved to be kindred spirits. The automaker purchased property next to Edison in 1916, naming it “The Mangoes.”
The entrepreneurs spent hours sitting on their porches, discussing projects, planning trips to the Everglades, listening to Mina play the piano, and perhaps playing Parcheesi, Edison’s favorite game.
“It was interesting to learn how good of friends they actually were,” said Eric Rye, visiting from Sarasota.
Guests had to stay in line, though. The Edisons had seven rules, one in particular noting that discretion was important: “Don’t fail to retire to your room for part of each day - so that the family may squabble without embarrassment.”

Sarah Palin's political appeal has never had anything to do with facts — or coherent policy positions. The more she is attacked for not being in possession of pointy-headed erudition, the more powerful she becomes as an avatar of the anti-elite cause. As Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review, has correctly observed, “She represents less a philosophical strain on the right than an affect and a demographic.”
That demographic is white and non-urban: Just look at the stops and the faces on her carefully calibrated book tour. The affect is emotional — the angry air of grievance that emerged first at her campaign rallies in 2008, with their shrieked threats to Obama, and that has since resurfaced in the Hitler-fixated “tea party” movement (which she endorses in her book).
It’s a politics of victimization and sloganeering with no policy solutions required beyond the conservative mantra of No Taxes. Its standard-bearer can make stuff up with impunity: “Thanks, but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere”; Obama’s palling around with terrorists”; health care “death panels.”
. . . But no matter how much Palin tries to pass for “center-right,” she’s unlikely to fool that vast pool of voters left, right and center who have already written her off as unqualified for the White House. The G.O.P. establishment knows this, and is frightened. The demographic that Palin attracts is in decline; there’s no way the math of her fan base adds up to an Electoral College victory.
Culture is politics. Palin is at the red-hot center of age-old American resentments that have boiled up both from the ascent of our first black president and from the intractability of the Great Recession for those Americans who haven’t benefited from bailouts. As Palin thrives on the ire of the left, so she does from the disdain of Republican leaders who, with a condescension rivaling the sexism they decry in liberals, belittle her as a lightweight or instruct her to eat think-tank spinach.
The only person who can derail Palin is Palin herself. Should she not self-destruct, she will doom G.O.P. hopes of a 2012 comeback.
But the rest of the country cannot rest easy. The rage out there is larger than Palin and defies partisan labeling. . . . If Obama can’t tamp down that rage across the political map, Palin will at the very least pave the way for a demagogue with less baggage to pick up her torch.
Column by Frank Rich
www.miamiherald.com/opinion/other-views/story/1344558.html by Cal Thomas
The Palin phenomenon offers an opportunity for conservatives to choose their path to the future. Will it be a path of the angry and disenfranchised outsider, or will it be something of substance that produces triumphs in both politics and policy?
The victim thing is getting old.
Conservatives have a significant presence in virtually every venue they like to denounce. That includes government and especially the media. Talk radio rules, and the rulers are conservatives. Fox News Channel dominates the ratings.
. . . Victimization plays well with the conservative base and that's a problem. If conservatives don't rise from the muck of feeling excluded, disrespected, ignored and mocked, they will continue to suffer all of these things. There is nothing like proving the worth of your ideas to put the mockers in their place. Victimization can raise money, sell books and get one face time on TV, but it doesn't advance the ball.

A anchorman afresh asked Edmunds about the kinds of claimed advice that can affect the bulk of car insurance. She aswell capital to apperceive whether humans could do annihilation to abode claimed factors that were befitting their car allowance ante high.Vehicle insurance.
They’re acceptable questions, and Edmunds was blessed to advice acknowledgment them. During the analysis it became bright that if it comes to car insurance, there’s hardly annihilation that isn’t personal. Actuality are 5 all-about-you factors that can affect your car allowance premium:
1: Your active profile.
Such factors as the bulk of afar you drive annually and your blow and admission history are above elements in ambience your allowance rate. The beneath you drive, the beneath blow of an blow and a claim. Safer active acceptation a history chargeless of accidents and affective violations .Car Insurance Australia.aswell credibility to anyone who’s beneath acceptable to book a claim.
2:The car you drive.
Car allowance premiums are based in allotment on the car’s sticker price, the bulk to adjustment it, its all-embracing assurance almanac and the likelihood of theft, according to the Allowance Advice Institute. The bulk of acclimation a aboriginal $225,000 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia is traveling to be a lot added than the adjustment costs for a acclimated $17,000 Nissan Altima. The exceptional will reflect this.
3: Your capital claimed information
including your age, action and area you live. Each of these things factors into the action of ambience your allowance bulk because allowance companies abject their premiums on actuarial advice about drivers. They attending for patterns of claims action a part of humans like you. A boyish boy is acceptable to accept a college allowance bulk than a middle-aged driver, because statistically, boyish boys accept added accidents than do 40-year-olds.Car Insurance Australia.
Your action can play a role if it affects how abundant active you do. Work that involves lots of afar on the road, such as an alfresco sales job, can affect rates. From the allowance company’s point of view, the added afar you drive agency added blow of an accident.
Insurance companies aswell attending at area you live. They clue bounded trends of accidents, car thefts, lawsuits and the bulk of medical affliction and car repair, according to the Allowance Advice Institute.
4: The advantage you choose
The added advantage you accept and the lower the deductible you set, the added you’ll pay.
5:Your acclaim score
Some allowance companies use acclaim array as a agency in ambience rates. This convenance is advancing beneath attack, however, with seven states in 2010 casual regulations apropos the use of acclaim advice in insurance. In 2011, several added accompaniment legislatures alien bills to adapt the practice.
Actuarial studies appearance that how a getting manages his or her banking diplomacy is an authentic augur of the bulk and Car Insurance Australia.admeasurement of allowance claims he or she ability file, according to the Allowance Advice Institute.
If you wish to lower your allowance costs, you can’t change your age, or calmly change your job or hometown. But there are some claimed changes you can make:
1:Accede pay-as-you-drive insurance
It’s a paradox, but the added claimed you get, the bigger your ante ability be. Pay-as-you-drive programs action bigger ante because they’re tailored to how you alone drive — as adjoin to the humans who are agnate to you in agreement of age or added changeless factors.
This agency that a jailbait who is an accomplished disciplinarian — who doesn’t speed, doesn’t drive at night and doesn’t drive abounding afar — can get a bigger bulk than the boilerplate teenager, whose actuarial contour pegs him as a greater risk, based on the blow history for humans his age.
Pay-as-you-drive affairs accept altered configurations, depending on the allowance aggregation and state. Some crave that you install a telematics accessory that transmits advice about your absolute active (such as speed, breadth and braking patterns) to the allowance company. Others, such as affairs acceptable in California, Car Insurance Quotes.alone are based on the bulk of afar you drive, not how you drive.
2:Be a calmer, added accurate driver
If you’ve had dispatch tickets in the past, boldness to change from getting a speedy, advancing disciplinarian to a calm one. A ancillary anniversary is that you’ll save money on gasoline. Edmunds testing has aswell apparent that a calm active appearance gets you 35 percent bigger ammunition economy.
3:Accept a car with a lower bulk of ownership
Edmunds has a True Bulk to Own (TCO) apparatus that lets you admeasurement up cars if you’re shopping. It takes into anniversary eight apparatus — depreciation, absorption on financing, taxes and fees, allowance premiums, fuel, maintenance, aliment and any federal tax acclaim that may be accessible — and tells you what your bulk would be over 5 years. It’s a way to get a examination of what your allowance premiums ability be. Also, allocution to your allowance aggregation if you’re car arcade to get a adduce on how your best will affect your insurance. If you delay until the accord is done, you’ve absent a adventitious to administer your costs.Car Insurance Australia.
4: Change your coverage
Don’t go for every alarm and blare in an auto allowance policy. If you’re accommodating to pay a hardly college deductible, you can wind up extenuative big on your rates. Traveling from a $250 to a $1,000 deductible could save you 25-40 percent on your policy. Set abreast a allocation of these funds to awning your costs in the accident of a claim.
If you accept an earlier car with absolute and blow coverage, you ability acquisition yourself paying added in allowance than the car is worth. One tip: Take your absolute and blow premiums and add those up. Multiply by 10. If your car is account beneath than that amount, don’t buy the coverage. If you’re afraid about getting larboard overexposed, accede this: The archetypal policyholder makes a affirmation alone already every 11 years, and letters a absolute accident alone already every 50 years.
5:Explore discounts for which you ability be qualified
The options accessible cover discounts for low-mileage drivers, for seniors and for cars with anti-theft accessories and assertive assurance devices. It’s a diffuse account — just ask your insurer about any discounts, and go from there.
6: Clean up your credit
Keep it in acceptable appearance by paying bills on time and by consistently blockage that there are no items on your history that do not accord to you. You can get chargeless anniversary acclaim address checks here.
Is there claimed advice that doesn’t matter? Gender, one able told us. Allowance companies don’t affliction if you’re changeable or macho as continued as you’re a safe driver. And it’s a allegory that red cars accept college allowance ante than those antic added sedate shades, according to the Allowance Advice Institute. Ultimately, allowance companies affliction about how acceptable it is that a accurate disciplinarian would end up authoritative or causing a cher affirmation adjoin them. Green is the alone blush that matters.

Our Lady & The English Martyrs, Cambridge
stepneyrobarts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/our-lady-english-ma...
Yesterday I revisited St Peter for internals and finished of Cambridge, visiting seven Victorian built churches only one of which, Our Lady & The English Martyrs, is worth writing up.
At first sight I wrote OLEM off as a Victorian Gothic monstrosity but as I wandered around the exterior I was struck by the quality of the building and the interior stunned me with lots of rather good glass and impressive architecture (oh and apart from three revisits, Babraham, Guilden Morden and Stow cum Quy, that finished the north west quadrant).
The Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, or OLEM, is situated in the heart of the city of Cambridge. An imposing example of the 19th Century Gothic Revival, it was built to the designs of Dunn & Hansom of Newcastle between 1885 and 1890, and founded solely by Mrs Yolande Marie Louise Lyne-Stephens, a former ballet dancer at the Paris Opera and Drury Lane, London, and widow of a wealthy banker. She promised to build the church on the feast of Our Lady of the Assumption, and Monsignor Christopher Scott - the first Rector - also wished to commemorate the Catholic Martyrs who died between 1535 and 1681, over thirty of whom had been in residence at the University.
Designed by architects Dunn and Hansom of Newcastle and built by the Cambridge firm of Rattee and Kett, OLEM is constructed in Casterton, Ancaster and Combe Down Stone. The church is a traditional cruciform structure in the early-decorated style with a large tower at the crossing, a polygonal apse and a west bell tower with a 65-metre spire, visible for miles around Cambridge. Quite often, it is quoted by visitors and local residents as a location point. The approximate internal dimensions of the church are: length 48 meters [156 ft] width across the aisles 16 meters [51 ft] width at the transepts 22 meters [71 ft], the height of the nave 15 meters [71ft].
Inside and over the west door stands the figure of Our Lady of the Assumption crowned with lilies and standing on the crescent moon with the vanquished serpent beneath. The west window shows the English Martyrs arranged in two principal groups, the clergy on the south side with St John Fisher in their midst and the laity on the north grouped round St Thomas More.
Beside the South aisle is an ancient statue of Our Lady with the Child Jesus. This statue is understood to be a gift in 1850 from Emmanuel College, which was built on the site of a Dominican Priory dating back to 1274. The Church of the Black Friars of Cambridge contained a statue of Our Blessed Lady to which much pilgrimage was had. Although unconfirmed this could be that statue.
The Chapel of the Holy Souls with the book of Remembrance is located at the west end of the south aisle. The sculpture above the altar depicts the solace and relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory through the intercession of Our Lady and the angel who comforted Our Lord in Gethsemane. The Chapel is now appropriately used at the two great Christian celebrations: at Easter for the Empty Tomb indicating the Risen Lord, and at Christmas for the Crib.
The aisle windows were almost completely destroyed when the church was struck by a bomb on 1941, but were subsequently replaced in their original form. They epitomise the various sufferings of the English Martyrs, their being brought before the Council, racked, hung, drawn and quartered in the sight and sympathy of the faithful. The windows of the north aisle portray Carthusians, St Thomas Moore, B. Margaret Pole and others, while the south aisle is made a “Fisher Aisle”, devoted to scenes from the life of St John, Cardinal Bishop of Rochester, who in so many important ways is identified with Cambridge.
The best general impression of the interior is obtained from the gateway in the iron screen dividing the nave from the ante-chapel. The heads of the four great preachers of Our Lady’s Graces are carved in the four corners of the nave. The windows along the nave represent saints connected with the Church in Britain, arranged approximately in chronological order from east to west with a few additional figures in the eastern windows.
The Rood which is between the nave and the sanctuary is of the type known as “Majestas”; the figure of Our Lord, with glorified wounds, robed in alb, stole and pallium [as High Priest] and crowned [as King “reigning from the Tree”]. This was the earliest type of crucifix; the realistic figure, now almost universal, did not come into general use until the beginning of the thirteenth century. The cross, inspired by that at Nuremberg, is about 6 metres high, carved in oak; the figures of Christ and of Our Lady and of Saint John are of Kauri pine. They were carved locally by Mr. B. Maclean Leach and completed and blessed in 1914.
Beyond the present, modern altar is the High Altar with the relics of Saints Felix and Constantia, martyrs of the early Church. The tabernacle and ornaments of the altar are of exquisite French workmanship from Lyons. The baldacchino which covers the High Altar is similar to that over the tomb of Robert the Wise (1275-1343) at Santa Chiara, Naples. It is one of the earliest forms of adornment of a Christian altar. At the top is the figure of Our Lord in glory supported on each side by angels in act of adoration.
The design and the re-ordering of the sanctuary was done by Mr. Gerard Goalen of Harlow after the Second Vatican Council. On 7th April, 1973, Bishop Charles Grant consecrated the present central. The original High Altar has subsequently been used mainly for reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.

Documenta From Wikipedia,
The Fridericianum during documenta (13)
documenta is an exhibition of contemporary art which takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. It was founded by artist, teacher and curator Arnold Bode in 1955 as part of the Bundesgartenschau (Federal Horticultural Show) which took place in Kassel at that time.[1] It was an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art, both banishing and repressing the cultural darkness of Nazism.[2] This first documenta featured many artists who are generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art (such as Picasso and Kandinsky). The more recent documentas feature art from all continents; nonetheless most of it is site-specific.
Every documenta is limited to 100 days of exhibition, which is why it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days".[3] Documenta is not a selling exhibition. It rarely coincides with the three other major art world events: the Venice Biennale, Art Basel and Skulptur Projekte Münster, but in 2017, all four were open simultaneously.
Etymology of documenta
The name of the exhibition is an invented word. The term is supposed to demonstrate the intention of every exhibition (in particular of the first documenta in 1955) to be a documentation of modern art which was not available for the German public during the Nazi era. Rumour spread from those close to Arnold Bode that it was relevant for the coinage of the term that the Latin word documentum could be separated into docere (Latin for teach) and mens (Latin for intellect) and therefore thought it to be a good word to describe the intention and the demand of the documenta.[4]
Each edition of documenta has commissioned its own visual identity, most of which have conformed to the typographic style of solely using lowercase letters, which originated at the Bauhaus.[5]
History
Stadtverwaldung by Joseph Beuys, oaktree in front of the museum Fridericianum, documenta 7
Art professor and designer Arnold Bode from Kassel was the initiator of the first documenta. Originally planned as a secondary event to accompany the Bundesgartenschau, this attracted more than 130,000 visitors in 1955. The exhibition centred less on "contemporary art“, that is art made after 1945: instead, Bode wanted to show the public works which had been known as "Entartete Kunst" in Germany during the Nazi era: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Blauer Reiter, Futurism and Pittura Metafisica. Therefore, abstract art, in particular the abstract paintings of the 1920s and 1930s, was the focus of interest in this exhibition.
Over time, the focus shifted to contemporary art. At first, the show was limited to works from Europe, but soon covered works by artists from the Americas, Africa and Asia. 4. documenta, the first ever to turn a profit, featured a selection of Pop Art, Minimal Art, and Kinetic Art.[6] Adopting the theme of Questioning Reality – Pictorial Worlds Today, the 1972 documenta radically redefined what could be considered art by featuring minimal and conceptual art, marking a turning point in the public acceptance of those styles.[7] Also, it devoted a large section to the work of Adolf Wolfli, the great Swiss outsider, then unknown. Joseph Beuys performed repeatedly under the auspices of his utopian Organization for Direct Democracy.[8] Additionally, the 1987 documenta show signaled another important shift with the elevation of design to the realm of art – showing an openness to postmodern design.[9] Certain key political dates for wide-reaching social and cultural upheavals, such as 1945, 1968 or 1976/77, became chronological markers of documenta X (1997), along which art's political, social, cultural and aesthetic exploratory functions were traced.[10] Documenta11 was organized around themes like migration, urbanization and the post-colonial experience,[11] with documentary photography, film and video as well as works from far-flung locales holding the spotlight.[7] In 2012, documenta (13) was described as "[a]rdently feminist, global and multimedia in approach and including works by dead artists and selected bits of ancient art".[12]
Criticism
documenta typically gives its artists at least two years to conceive and produce their projects, so the works are often elaborate and intellectually complex.[13] However, the participants are often not publicised before the very opening of the exhibition. At documenta (13), the official list of artists was not released until the day the show opened.[14] Even though curators have often claimed to have gone outside the art market in their selection, participants have always included established artists. In the documenta (13), for example, art critic Jerry Saltz identified more than a third of the artists represented by the renowned Marian Goodman Gallery in the show.[14]
Directors
The first four documentas, organized by Arnold Bode, established the exhibition's international credentials. Since the fifth documenta (1972), a new artistic director has been named for each documenta exhibition by a committee of experts. Documenta 8 was put together in two years instead of the usual five. The original directors, Edy de Wilde and Harald Szeemann, were unable to get along and stepped down. They were replaced by Manfred Schneckenburger, Edward F. Fry, Wulf Herzogenrath, Armin Zweite, and Vittorio Fagone.[15] Coosje van Bruggen helped select artists for documenta 7, the 1982 edition. documenta IX's team of curators consisted of Jan Hoet, Piero Luigi Tazzi, Denys Zacharopoulos, and Bart de Baere.[16] For documenta X Catherine David was chosen as the first woman and the first non-German speaker to hold the post. It is also the first and unique time that its website Documenta x was conceived by a curator (swiss curator Simon Lamunière) as a part of the exhibition. The first non-European director was Okwui Enwezor for Documenta11.[17]

2012's edition was organized around a central node, the trans-Atlantic melding of two distinct individuals who first encountered each other in the "money-soaked deserts of the United Arab Emirates". As an organizing principle it is simultaneously a commentary on the romantic potentials of globalization and also a critique of how digital platforms can complicate or interrogate the nature of such relationships. Curatorial agents refer to the concept as possessing a "fricative potential for productive awkwardness," wherein a twosome is formed for the purposes of future exploration.[23]
Venues
documenta is held in different venues in Kassel. Since 1955, the fixed venue has been the Fridericianum. The documenta-Halle was built in 1992 for documenta IX and now houses some of the exhibitions. Other venues used for documenta have included the Karlsaue park, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, the Neue Galerie, the Ottoneum, and the Kulturzentrum Schlachthof. Though Okwui Enezor notably tried to subvert the euro-centric approach documenta had taken, he instigated a series of five platforms before the Documenta11 in Vienna, Berlin, New Delhi, St Lucia, and Lagos, in an attempt to take documenta into a new post-colonial, borderless space, from which experimental cultures could emerge. documenta 12 occupied five locations, including the Fridericianum, the Wilhelmshöhe castle park and the specially constructed "Aue-Pavillon", or meadow pavilion, designed by French firm Lacaton et Vassal.[24] At documenta (13) (2012), about a fifth of the works were unveiled in places like Kabul, Afghanistan, and Banff, Canada.[13]
There are also a number of works that are usually presented outside, most notably in Friedrichsplatz, in front of the Fridericianum, and the Karlsaue park. To handle the number of artworks at documenta IX, five connected temporary "trailers" in glass and corrugated metal were built in the Karlsaue.[25] For documenta (13), French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal constructed the temporary "Aue-Pavillon" in the park.
Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus Rucker und Co.
A few of the works exhibited at various documentas remained as purchases in Kassel museums. They include 7000 Eichen by Joseph Beuys; Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus-Rucker-Co; Laserscape Kassel (1977) by Horst H. Baumann; Traumschiff Tante Olga (1977) by Anatol Herzfeld; Vertikaler Erdkilometer by Walter De Maria; Spitzhacke (1982) by Claes Oldenburg; Man walking to the sky (1992) by Jonathan Borofsky; and Fremde by Thomas Schütte (one part of the sculptures are installed on Rotes Palais at Friedrichsplatz, the other on the roof of the Concert Hall in Lübeck).
documenta archive
The extensive volume of material that is regularly generated on the occasion of this exhibition prompted Arnold Bode to create an archive in 1961. The heart of the archive’s collection comes from the files and materials of the documenta organization. A continually expanding video and image archive is also part of the collection as are the independently organized bequests of Arnold Bode and artist Harry Kramer.
Management
Visitors
In 1992, on the occasion of documenta IX, for the first time in the history of the documenta, more than half a million people traveled to Kassel.[26] The 2002 edition of documenta attracted 650,000 visitors, more than triple Kassel's population.[27] In 2007, documenta 12 drew 754,000 paying visitors, with more than one-third of the visitors coming from abroad and guests from neighboring Netherlands, France, Belgium and Austria among the most numerous.[28] In 2012, documenta (13) had 904,992 visitors.[21]

lumbung
Short concept by ruangrupa for documenta 15
"We want to create a globally oriented, cooperative, interdisciplinary art and culture platform that will remain effective beyond the 100 days of documenta fifteen. Our curatorial approach aims at a different kind of collaborative model of resource use—economically, but also in terms of ideas, knowledge, programs, and innovation."
ruangrupa’s central curatorial approach for documenta fifteen is based on the principles of collectivity, resource building, and equal sharing. They aim to appeal not just to an art audience but to a variety of communities, and to promote local commitment and participation. Their approach is based on an international network of local, community-based organizations from the art and other cultural contexts and can be outlined by the Indonesian term lumbung. lumbung, directly translatable as “rice barn,” is a collective pot or accumulation system used in rural areas of Indonesia, where crops produced by a community are stored as a future shared common resource and distributed according to jointly determind criteria. Using lumbung as a model, documenta fifteen is a collective resource pot, operating under the logics of the commons. It is an agglomeration of ideas, stories, (wo)manpower, time, and other shareable resources. At the center of lumbung is the imagination and the building of these collective, shared resources into new models of sustainable ideas and cultural practices. This will be fostered by residencies, assemblies, public activities, and the development of tools.
Interdisciplinarity is key in this process. It is where art meets activism, management, and networking to gather support, understand environments, and identify local resources. These elements then create actions and spaces, intertwine social relations and transactions; they slowly grow and organically find a public form. This is a strategy “to live in and with society.” It imagines the relations an art institution has with its community by being an active constituent of it. Strategies are then developed based on proximity and shared desires.
The main principles of the process are:
• Providing space to gather and explore ideas
• Collective decision making
• Non-centralization
• Playing between formalities and informalities
• Practicing assembly and meeting points
• Architectural awareness
• Being spatially active to promote conversation
• A melting pot for and from everyone’s thoughts, energies, and ideas

Rumour spread from those close to Arnold Bode that it was relevant for the coinage of the term that the Latin word documentum could be separated into docere (Latin for teach) and mens (Latin for intellect) and therefore thought it to be a good word to describe the intention and the demand of the documenta.[4]
Each edition of documenta has commissioned its own visual identity, most of which have conformed to the typographic style of solely using lowercase letters, which originated at the Bauhaus.[5]
History
Stadtverwaldung by Joseph Beuys, oaktree in front of the museum Fridericianum, documenta 7
Art professor and designer Arnold Bode from Kassel was the initiator of the first documenta. Originally planned as a secondary event to accompany the Bundesgartenschau, this attracted more than 130,000 visitors in 1955. The exhibition centred less on "contemporary art“, that is art made after 1945: instead, Bode wanted to show the public works which had been known as "Entartete Kunst" in Germany during the Nazi era: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Blauer Reiter, Futurism and Pittura Metafisica. Therefore, abstract art, in particular the abstract paintings of the 1920s and 1930s, was the focus of interest in this exhibition.
Over time, the focus shifted to contemporary art. At first, the show was limited to works from Europe, but soon covered works by artists from the Americas, Africa and Asia. 4. documenta, the first ever to turn a profit, featured a selection of Pop Art, Minimal Art, and Kinetic Art.[6] Adopting the theme of Questioning Reality – Pictorial Worlds Today, the 1972 documenta radically redefined what could be considered art by featuring minimal and conceptual art, marking a turning point in the public acceptance of those styles.[7] Also, it devoted a large section to the work of Adolf Wolfli, the great Swiss outsider, then unknown. Joseph Beuys performed repeatedly under the auspices of his utopian Organization for Direct Democracy.[8] Additionally, the 1987 documenta show signaled another important shift with the elevation of design to the realm of art – showing an openness to postmodern design.[9] Certain key political dates for wide-reaching social and cultural upheavals, such as 1945, 1968 or 1976/77, became chronological markers of documenta X (1997), along which art's political, social, cultural and aesthetic exploratory functions were traced.[10] Documenta11 was organized around themes like migration, urbanization and the post-colonial experience,[11] with documentary photography, film and video as well as works from far-flung locales holding the spotlight.[7] In 2012, documenta (13) was described as "[a]rdently feminist, global and multimedia in approach and including works by dead artists and selected bits of ancient art".[12]
Criticism
documenta typically gives its artists at least two years to conceive and produce their projects, so the works are often elaborate and intellectually complex.[13] However, the participants are often not publicised before the very opening of the exhibition. At documenta (13), the official list of artists was not released until the day the show opened.[14] Even though curators have often claimed to have gone outside the art market in their selection, participants have always included established artists. In the documenta (13), for example, art critic Jerry Saltz identified more than a third of the artists represented by the renowned Marian Goodman Gallery in the show.[14]
Directors
The first four documentas, organized by Arnold Bode, established the exhibition's international credentials. Since the fifth documenta (1972), a new artistic director has been named for each documenta exhibition by a committee of experts. Documenta 8 was put together in two years instead of the usual five. The original directors, Edy de Wilde and Harald Szeemann, were unable to get along and stepped down. They were replaced by Manfred Schneckenburger, Edward F. Fry, Wulf Herzogenrath, Armin Zweite, and Vittorio Fagone.[15] Coosje van Bruggen helped select artists for documenta 7, the 1982 edition. documenta IX's team of curators consisted of Jan Hoet, Piero Luigi Tazzi, Denys Zacharopoulos, and Bart de Baere.[16] For documenta X Catherine David was chosen as the first woman and the first non-German speaker to hold the post. It is also the first and unique time that its website Documenta x was conceived by a curator (swiss curator Simon Lamunière) as a part of the exhibition. The first non-European director was Okwui Enwezor for Documenta11.[17]

2012's edition was organized around a central node, the trans-Atlantic melding of two distinct individuals who first encountered each other in the "money-soaked deserts of the United Arab Emirates". As an organizing principle it is simultaneously a commentary on the romantic potentials of globalization and also a critique of how digital platforms can complicate or interrogate the nature of such relationships. Curatorial agents refer to the concept as possessing a "fricative potential for productive awkwardness," wherein a twosome is formed for the purposes of future exploration.[23]
Venues
documenta is held in different venues in Kassel. Since 1955, the fixed venue has been the Fridericianum. The documenta-Halle was built in 1992 for documenta IX and now houses some of the exhibitions. Other venues used for documenta have included the Karlsaue park, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, the Neue Galerie, the Ottoneum, and the Kulturzentrum Schlachthof. Though Okwui Enezor notably tried to subvert the euro-centric approach documenta had taken, he instigated a series of five platforms before the Documenta11 in Vienna, Berlin, New Delhi, St Lucia, and Lagos, in an attempt to take documenta into a new post-colonial, borderless space, from which experimental cultures could emerge. documenta 12 occupied five locations, including the Fridericianum, the Wilhelmshöhe castle park and the specially constructed "Aue-Pavillon", or meadow pavilion, designed by French firm Lacaton et Vassal.[24] At documenta (13) (2012), about a fifth of the works were unveiled in places like Kabul, Afghanistan, and Banff, Canada.[13]
There are also a number of works that are usually presented outside, most notably in Friedrichsplatz, in front of the Fridericianum, and the Karlsaue park. To handle the number of artworks at documenta IX, five connected temporary "trailers" in glass and corrugated metal were built in the Karlsaue.[25] For documenta (13), French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal constructed the temporary "Aue-Pavillon" in the park.
Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus Rucker und Co.
A few of the works exhibited at various documentas remained as purchases in Kassel museums. They include 7000 Eichen by Joseph Beuys; Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus-Rucker-Co; Laserscape Kassel (1977) by Horst H. Baumann; Traumschiff Tante Olga (1977) by Anatol Herzfeld; Vertikaler Erdkilometer by Walter De Maria; Spitzhacke (1982) by Claes Oldenburg; Man walking to the sky (1992) by Jonathan Borofsky; and Fremde by Thomas Schütte (one part of the sculptures are installed on Rotes Palais at Friedrichsplatz, the other on the roof of the Concert Hall in Lübeck).
documenta archive
The extensive volume of material that is regularly generated on the occasion of this exhibition prompted Arnold Bode to create an archive in 1961. The heart of the archive’s collection comes from the files and materials of the documenta organization. A continually expanding video and image archive is also part of the collection as are the independently organized bequests of Arnold Bode and artist Harry Kramer.
Management
Visitors
In 1992, on the occasion of documenta IX, for the first time in the history of the documenta, more than half a million people traveled to Kassel.[26] The 2002 edition of documenta attracted 650,000 visitors, more than triple Kassel's population.[27] In 2007, documenta 12 drew 754,000 paying visitors, with more than one-third of the visitors coming from abroad and guests from neighboring Netherlands, France, Belgium and Austria among the most numerous.[28] In 2012, documenta (13) had 904,992 visitors.[21]

lumbung
Short concept by ruangrupa for documenta 15
"We want to create a globally oriented, cooperative, interdisciplinary art and culture platform that will remain effective beyond the 100 days of documenta fifteen. Our curatorial approach aims at a different kind of collaborative model of resource use—economically, but also in terms of ideas, knowledge, programs, and innovation."
ruangrupa’s central curatorial approach for documenta fifteen is based on the principles of collectivity, resource building, and equal sharing. They aim to appeal not just to an art audience but to a variety of communities, and to promote local commitment and participation. Their approach is based on an international network of local, community-based organizations from the art and other cultural contexts and can be outlined by the Indonesian term lumbung. lumbung, directly translatable as “rice barn,” is a collective pot or accumulation system used in rural areas of Indonesia, where crops produced by a community are stored as a future shared common resource and distributed according to jointly determind criteria. Using lumbung as a model, documenta fifteen is a collective resource pot, operating under the logics of the commons. It is an agglomeration of ideas, stories, (wo)manpower, time, and other shareable resources. At the center of lumbung is the imagination and the building of these collective, shared resources into new models of sustainable ideas and cultural practices. This will be fostered by residencies, assemblies, public activities, and the development of tools.
Interdisciplinarity is key in this process. It is where art meets activism, management, and networking to gather support, understand environments, and identify local resources. These elements then create actions and spaces, intertwine social relations and transactions; they slowly grow and organically find a public form. This is a strategy “to live in and with society.” It imagines the relations an art institution has with its community by being an active constituent of it. Strategies are then developed based on proximity and shared desires.
The main principles of the process are:
• Providing space to gather and explore ideas
• Collective decision making
• Non-centralization
• Playing between formalities and informalities
• Practicing assembly and meeting points
• Architectural awareness
• Being spatially active to promote conversation
• A melting pot for and from everyone’s thoughts, energies, and ideas

Description :The Bengali Language Movement: and in Bangali Trnslation to ভাষা আন্দোলন
The Bengali Language Movement: Can read In Bangoli here]ভাষা আন্দোলন, also known as the Language Movement (Bengali: ভাষা আন্দোলন; Bhasha Andolon), was a political effort in Bangladesh (then known as East Pakistan), advocating the recognition of the Bengali language as an official language ofPakistan. Such recognition would allow Bengali to be used in government affairs.When the state of Pakistan was formed in 1947, its two regions, East Pakistan (also called East Bengal) and West Pakistan, were split along cultural, geographical, and linguistic lines. In 1948, the Government of Pakistan ordained Urdu as the sole national language, sparking extensive protests among the Bengali-speaking majority of East Pakistan. Facing rising sectarian tensions and mass discontent with the new law, the government outlawed public meetings and rallies. The students of the University of Dhaka and other political activists defied the law and organised a protest on 21 February 1952. The movement reached its climax when police killed student demonstrators on that day. The deaths provoked widespread civil unrest led by the Awami Muslim League, later renamed the Awami League. After years of conflict, the central government relented and granted official status to the Bengali language in 1956. In 2000,UNESCO declared 21 February International Mother Language Day for the whole world to celebrate[1], in tribute to the Language Movement and the ethno-linguistic rights of people around the world.The Language Movement catalysed the assertion of Bengali national identity in Pakistan, and became a forerunner to Bengali nationalist movements, including the 6-point movement and subsequently the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. In Bangladesh, 21 February is observed as Language Movement Day, a national holiday. The Shaheed Minar monument was constructed near Dhaka Medical College in memory of the movement and its victims
Background
The present nations of Pakistan and Bangladesh were part of undivided India during the British colonial rule. From the mid-19th century, the Urdu language had been promoted as thelingua franca of Indian Muslims by political and religious leaders such as Sir Khwaja Salimullah, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk and Maulvi Abdul Haq.[2][3] Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language of the Indo-Iranian branch, belonging to the Indo-European family of languages. It developed under Persian, Arabic and Turkic influence on apabhramshas (last linguistic stage of the medieval Indian Aryan language Pali-Prakrit)[4] in South Asia during the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire.[5] With its Perso-Arabic script, the language was considered a vital element of the Islamic culture for Indian Muslims; Hindi and the Devanagari script were seen as fundamentals of Hindu culture.[2]While the use of Urdu grew common with Muslims in northern India, the Muslims of Bengal (a province in the eastern part of British Indian sub-continent) primarily used the Bengali language. Bengali is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language that arose from the eastern Middle Indic languages around 1000 CE[6] and developed considerably during the Bengal Renaissance. As early as the late 19th century, social activists such as the Muslim feminist Roquia Sakhawat Hussain were choosing to write in Bengali to reach out to the people and develop it as a modern literary language. Supporters of Bengali opposed Urdu even before the partition of India, when delegates from Bengal rejected the idea of making Urdu the lingua franca of Muslim India in the 1937 Lucknow session of the Muslim League. The Muslim League was a British Indian political party that became the driving force behind the creation of Pakistan as a Muslim state separate from British India.[7]

Dopo i patimenti che ho sopportato, il mio amore per Dio è ancora più forte
di Zhou Rui, Provincia del Jiangxi
Mi chiamo Zhou Rui e sono un cristiano della Chiesa di Dio Onnipotente. Fin da quando ho cominciato a capire le cose, ho sempre visto i miei genitori lavorare sodo nei campi da mattina a sera per guadagnarsi da vivere. Malgrado il loro impegno intenso, riuscivano a malapena a guadagnare dei soldi anno dopo anno, perciò la nostra famiglia ha vissuto sempre in estrema povertà. Quando vedevo le persone potenti e influenti vivere comodamente senza dover faticare, provavo invidia nei loro confronti, e così presi una ferma decisione: da grande avrei avuto sicuramente una carriera di successo o mi sarei conquistato una posizione governativa per ovviare alla povertà e all’arretratezza della mia famiglia, in modo che anche i miei genitori potessero vivere come i ricchi. Tuttavia, pur avendo lottato molti anni per questo ideale, non sono mai riuscito a ottenere ciò che desideravo; ho continuato a vivere in povertà. Spesso sospiravo per la preoccupazione di non avere tratto nessun risultato dal mio impegno, e a poco a poco ho perso fiducia nella vita. Proprio quando cominciavo a scoraggiarmi e a disperare della vita, sono venuto a conoscenza della salvezza offerta da Dio Onnipotente negli ultimi giorni. Nelle Sue parole ho colto alcune verità e sono giunto a conoscere la causa principale della sofferenza umana nel mondo. Inoltre ho capito come le persone debbano vivere perché la loro vita sia ricca di significato e degna di essere vissuta. Da allora in poi, per quanto fossi stato confuso e smarrito, ho trovato il mio orientamento nella vita. Lasciandomi alle spalle la depressione e lo sconforto, ho scoperto una nuova vitalità e nuove prospettive, e ho visto speranza per la mia vita. Dopo di che, per consentire anche a quanti ancora vivevano nella sofferenza e nello smarrimento di conseguire questa rarissima salvezza, ho cominciato ad andare di luogo in luogo, predicando energicamente la salvezza offerta da Dio negli ultimi giorni. Ciò che non mi aspettavo, però, era che durante la mia attività di diffusione del Vangelo sarei stato arrestato due volte dal governo cinese e avrei subito torture brutali e disumane… In questo buio abisso di mostruosità, Dio Onnipotente non mi ha mai abbandonato; le Sue parole mi hanno trasmesso fede e forza, conducendomi ripetutamente alla vittoria sulle forze oscure di Satana e rafforzando il mio amore per Dio.
Era un giorno di giugno del 2003; io e due fratelli eravamo andati in un villaggio a diffondere il Vangelo, quando siamo stati denunciati da una persona malvagia. Cinque o sei agenti con tre auto della polizia si sono avvicinati rapidamente a noi e ci hanno ammanettati senza farci nemmeno una domanda. A calci e spintoni, ci hanno costretti a salire in auto e ci hanno condotti all’Ufficio di Pubblica Sicurezza. In auto non ho avuto affatto paura. Avevo sempre ritenuto che lo scopo della diffusione del Vangelo fosse offrire la salvezza alle persone, perciò non avevamo fatto niente di male; una volta arrivati all’Ufficio, avrei spiegato la situazione e la polizia ci avrebbe rilasciati. Non potevo sapere, però, che i poliziotti del governo cinese fossero più crudeli ed efferati di qualsiasi canaglia o tiranno malvagio. Arrivati all’Ufficio, i poliziotti non ci hanno dato nemmeno la possibilità di dare spiegazioni prima di separarci e interrogarci singolarmente. Ero appena entrato nella stanza degli interrogatori quando un poliziotto mi ha urlato: “La politica del Partito Comunista è ‘clemenza per chi confessa, severità per chi resiste’. Lo sapevi?” Dopo di che ha chiesto i miei dati personali. Vedendo che le mie risposte non lo soddisfacevano, un altro poliziotto mi si è avvicinato e ha grugnito: “Bah. Non stai collaborando. Ti daremo una lezione, così forse ci dirai la verità”. Poi ha fatto un gesto con la mano dicendo: “Portate qui dei mattoni così possiamo punirlo!” Due poliziotti si sono avvicinati all’istante, mi hanno preso una mano e me l’hanno strattonata da sopra la spalla e dietro la schiena, mentre mi tiravano l’altra mano in alto, e poi me le hanno ammanettate a forza. Ho subito provato un dolore insopportabile, come se mi si stessero spezzando le braccia. Come poteva una persona così debole sopportare un simile tormento? Un attimo dopo sono crollato a terra. Al che i malvagi poliziotti mi hanno bruscamente sollevato le manette e mi hanno infilato due mattoni fra le mani e la schiena. Un dolore acuto, improvviso, mi è penetrato fino al cuore, come se migliaia di formiche mi stessero masticando le ossa. In preda alla sofferenza, ho usato tutte le forze rimanenti per implorare Dio: “Dio Onnipotente, salvami. Dio Onnipotente, salvami…” Anche se all’epoca avevo accolto la salvezza offerta da Dio negli ultimi giorni solo da circa tre mesi, non conoscevo ancora molte Sue parole e capivo soltanto poche verità, ciò nonostante, grazie alle mie continue suppliche, Dio mi ha concesso fede e forza e mi ha trasmesso una ferma convinzione: dovevo rimanere saldo nella testimonianza a Dio; non dovevo assolutamente arrendermi a Satana! Perciò ho stretto i denti e mi sono rifiutato categoricamente di dire altro. Innervositi ed esasperati, i malvagi poliziotti hanno escogitato un altro brutale stratagemma nel tentativo di soggiogarmi: hanno collocato per terra due mattoni e mi hanno costretto a inginocchiarmici sopra; allo stesso tempo mi strattonavano con forza le manette. Ho provato subito un dolore così lancinante alle braccia che mi sembrava si fossero spezzate. Mi sono sforzato di rimanere lì inginocchiato per qualche minuto prima di ricadere a terra inerte, al che i poliziotti mi hanno di nuovo sollevato violentemente per le manette e mi hanno costretto a stare ancora in ginocchio. Mi hanno torturato ripetutamente in questo modo. Era piena estate, perciò il caldo acuiva la mia sofferenza; dal viso mi colavano continue gocce di sudore. Facevo tanta fatica a tenermi su che non riuscivo a respirare e sono quasi svenuto. Ciò nonostante, questa banda di poliziotti malvagi non faceva che godere della mia disgrazia. “Ti senti bene?” mi ha detto uno. “Se continui a rifiutarti di parlare, abbiamo tanti altri metodi per convincerti!” Vedendo che non rispondevo, erano furenti per la frustrazione e mi hanno detto: “Allora non ne hai avuto abbastanza? Ancora!” … Dopo due o tre ore di questo tormento, ero dolorante dalla testa ai piedi e non mi restavano più forze. Sono caduto a terra senza riuscire a muovermi e ho perso anche il controllo della vescica e dell’intestino. Di fronte alla tortura spietata di questi malvagi poliziotti, ho odiato me stesso per essere stato così cieco e ignorante; ingenuamente, avevo dato per scontato che l’Ufficio di Pubblica Sicurezza fosse un luogo in cui poter ragionare e che i poliziotti avrebbero difeso la giustizia e mi avrebbero rilasciato. Non mi sarei mai aspettato che fossero tanto malevoli e crudeli da voler estorcere una confessione con le sevizie senza un briciolo di prove, torturandomi fin quasi alla morte. Sono davvero la massima espressione del male! Ero steso a terra come fatto a pezzi, e non mi sarei potuto muovere nemmeno se l’avessi voluto. Non sapevo in che modo intendessero ancora torturarmi, né quanto sarei riuscito a resistere. Nella mia sofferenza e nel mio smarrimento, non potevo far altro che implorare continuamente Dio di darmi la forza di sopportare ancora. Dio ha ascoltato le mie suppliche e ha avuto pietà di me, facendomi rammentare uno dei suoi discorsi: “Questo è un momento cruciale. Fai in modo di non demoralizzarti e di non scoraggiarti. Devi guardare avanti in ogni cosa e non voltarti indietro, […] Finché avrai respiro, persevera fino alla fine; solo questo sarà degno di lode” (Capitolo 20 di “Discorsi di Cristo al principio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Le parole di Dio mi hanno trasmesso fede e forza in gran quantità. Erano così vere! Poiché stavo percorrendo il cammino della luce e della giustizia, dovevo avere la fede per andare avanti; fossi anche giunto al mio ultimo respiro, dovevo comunque perseverare sino alla fine! Le parole di Dio pulsavano di forza vitale e mi hanno dato la fede e il coraggio per combattere sino alla fine questi demoni malvagi, e così lentamente ho riacquistato anche un po’ di forza fisica. Dopo di che, i malvagi poliziotti hanno continuato a interrogarmi, pestandomi spietatamente i piedi fino a schiacciarmeli e a straziarmeli. Tuttavia non provavo più dolore. Sapevo che tutto questo era dovuto agli atti meravigliosi di Dio; avendo avuto pietà di me e mostrato sollecitudine per la mia debolezza, mi alleviava la sofferenza. In seguito i malvagi poliziotti ci hanno trattenuti con l’accusa di “turbamento dell’ordine pubblico”. Quella sera hanno ammanettato ciascuno di noi a un blocco di cemento di 150-200 chili, a cui siamo rimasti incatenati fino alla sera dopo, quando ci hanno trasferiti al locale centro di detenzione.
Entrare nel centro di detenzione è stato come precipitare in una sorta di inferno. Gli agenti penitenziari mi costringevano a infilare insieme lampadine colorate. Inizialmente dovevo infilarne seimila al giorno, ma poi la quantità è aumentata ogni giorno fino ad arrivare a dodicimila. In conseguenza di questo eccessivo carico di lavoro quotidiano, le dita mi si erano assottigliate fino all’osso, eppure non riuscivo comunque a portare a termine il mio compito. Non avevo altra scelta che continuare a infilarle per tutta la notte. Talvolta non ce la facevo proprio più e volevo fare un pisolino, ma non appena se ne accorgevano mi bastonavano brutalmente. Gli agenti penitenziari incitavano perfino i bulli del carcere dicendo ad alta voce: “Se questi detenuti non fanno il lavoro o non lo fanno bene, dategli un paio di dosi di ‘penicillina’”. Ciò che intendevano con una dose di “penicillina” era affibbiare al detenuto una ginocchiata all’inguine, poi una forte gomitata a metà schiena mentre lui si piegava per il dolore e quindi col tallone pestargli il piede. Questo metodo brutale talvolta faceva svenire lì per lì il detenuto e poteva perfino lasciarlo storpio per tutta la vita. In quel carcere diabolico io svolgevo ogni giorno un lavoro durissimo e per di più dovevo subire pestaggi crudeli. Come se non bastasse, i tre pasti che ci fornivano ogni giorno non erano adatti nemmeno ai cani o ai maiali: le pietanze che mangiavamo erano foglie di ravanello e spinaci d’acqua senza condimento (spesso mescolati a foglie e radici marce, sabbia e fango), oltre a circa 150 grammi di riso e un bicchiere dell’acqua che era stata usata per lavare il riso. Tutto il giorno avevo così fame che lo stomaco mi brontolava di continuo. In un ambiente del genere potevo affidarmi soltanto a Dio Onnipotente; ogni volta che subivo un pestaggio, pregavo con fervore, implorando Dio di darmi fede e forza per poter vincere le tentazioni di Satana. Dopo oltre venti giorni di angherie e tormenti, il mio corpo era così emaciato da essere irriconoscibile: non avevo forza nelle braccia e nelle gambe, non riuscivo a stare in piedi dritto e non avevo nemmeno la forza di stendere le braccia. Ciò nonostante, quelle guardie squilibrate non solo erano indifferenti alla mia situazione, ma si impadronivano anche delle poche centinaia di yuan che mi inviavano i miei familiari. Col passare del tempo le mie condizioni fisiche sono peggiorate sempre più; mi sono indebolito al punto che non ho potuto fare a meno di lamentarmi fra me: “Perché, in questo Paese, una persona che crede in Dio deve subire tante sofferenze? Il motivo per cui diffondo il Vangelo non è forse portare le persone al cospetto di Dio perché ricevano la Sua salvezza? E non ho nemmeno commesso alcun reato…” Più pensavo così, più mi era difficile sopportare e più mi sentivo trattato ingiustamente. Non potevo fare altro che pregare continuamente Dio e implorarLo di avere pietà di me e salvarmi. Nel pieno della mia disperazione e del mio smarrimento, Dio mi ha fatto ricordare un inno dei Suoi discorsi: “[…] 2. Forse vi ricordate tutti di queste parole: ‘Perché la nostra momentanea, leggera afflizione ci produce un sempre più grande, smisurato peso eterno di gloria’. Esse sono ciò che Dio compirà negli ultimi giorni, e saranno adempiute in coloro che sono crudelmente attaccati dal gran dragone rosso, nella terra in cui si trova. Il gran dragone rosso perseguita Dio ed è nemico di Dio, così in questa terra, coloro che credono in Dio sono sottoposti all’umiliazione e alla persecuzione. Ecco perché queste parole diventeranno realtà nel vostro gruppo di persone. 3. È estremamente arduo per Dio portare a termine la Sua opera nella terra del gran dragone rosso, ma è attraverso tale difficoltà che Dio compie una fase della Sua opera per manifestare la Sua saggezza e le Sue meravigliose opere. Dio coglie questa opportunità per rendere completo questo gruppo di persone. A causa della sofferenza delle persone, della loro levatura e di tutta l’indole satanica delle persone in questa terra immonda, Dio svolge la Sua opera di purificazione e di conquista in modo che, attraverso ciò, possa ottenere la gloria e guadagnare coloro che testimoniano le Sue opere. Questo è il significato completo di tutti i sacrifici che Dio ha fatto per questo gruppo di persone” (“Voi siete coloro che riceveranno l’eredità di Dio” in “Seguire l’Agnello e cantare dei canti nuovi”). Le parole di Dio mi hanno trasmesso grande conforto e incoraggiamento e mi hanno consentito di capire la Sua volontà. Poiché noi crediamo in Dio in un Paese ateo, siamo destinati a subire la coercizione e la persecuzione del demone Satana; però il fatto che noi subiamo questo tormento è permesso da Dio, perciò questa sofferenza ha un valore e un significato. È proprio tramite questa persecuzione e questa sofferenza che Dio semina in noi la verità, rendendoci in tal modo meritevoli di ricevere la Sua promessa. Questa “sofferenza” è una benedizione di Dio, e riuscire a rimanerGli fedeli durante tale sofferenza è una testimonianza della vittoria di Dio su Satana ed è anche una prova convincente del fatto che io sia stato conquistato da Dio. “Oggi”, ho pensato, “poiché seguo Dio, subisco questa persecuzione per mano dei demoni del Partito Comunista Cinese, e questo è Dio che mi dimostra uno speciale favore, perciò dovrei sottomettermi alla Sua orchestrazione e affrontarla e accoglierla felicemente con ferma tranquillità d’animo”. Mi sono rammentato un altro discorso di Dio, pronunciato nell’Età della Grazia: “Beati i perseguitati per motivo di giustizia, perché di loro è il Regno dei Cieli” (Matteo 5:10). In quel momento ho trovato fede e forza in misura ancora maggiore: per quanto Satana e i suoi demoni potessero torturarmi, io ero deciso a non cedere, e ho giurato che sarei rimasto saldo nella testimonianza e avrei soddisfatto Dio! Dotate di autorità e potenza, le parole di Dio avevano dissipato la desolazione e lo smarrimento che provavo dentro di me e alleviato la rovinosa sofferenza fisica a cui ero assoggettato. Mi hanno consentito di vedere la luce nel buio, e il mio spirito si è fatto più forte e ostinato.
Poi, malgrado la totale assenza di prove, il governo cinese mi ha inflitto una sentenza di un anno di rieducazione attraverso il lavoro. Quando la polizia mi ha trasportato al campo di lavoro, le guardie carcerarie hanno visto che ero ormai ridotto pelle e ossa e quasi non avevo più nemmeno un aspetto umano. Temendo che morissi, non hanno osato accettarmi, così i poliziotti non hanno avuto altra scelta che riportarmi al centro di detenzione. Ormai ero stato torturato da quei malvagi poliziotti al punto che non riuscivo più a mangiare, eppure non mi hanno prestato cure mediche, dicendo perfino che stavo fingendo. Quando hanno visto che non riuscivo a inghiottire il cibo, hanno incaricato qualcuno di aprirmi la bocca e di ficcarmelo dentro a forza, e poiché avevo difficoltà a deglutire, mi hanno picchiato. Sono stato alimentato a forza e picchiato come una bambola di pezza tre volte in tutto. Una volta constatato che non riuscivano più ad alimentarmi, non hanno avuto altra scelta che portarmi all’ospedale. Dagli esami è risultato che le vene mi si erano indurite; il sangue era diventato pastoso e nero e non circolava adeguatamente. Il medico ha detto: “Se quest’uomo rimane ancora in carcere, di sicuro morirà”. Ciò nonostante quei poliziotti odiosi e malvagi non volevano lasciarmi andare. Poi, con la mia vita appesa a un filo, ho sentito gli altri detenuti dire che ero senza speranza e ormai finito. A quel punto ho provato un’angoscia estrema; a mio parere, essendo ancora così giovane e avendo accolto solo di recente l’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni, avevo ancora tanto di cui gioire e ancora non avevo visto il giorno della gloria di Dio. Davvero non ero rassegnato a essere torturato a morte dal governo cinese. Disprezzavo totalmente questo branco di poliziotti malvagi e spietati, e provavo un odio ancora maggiore per questo regime perverso, satanico, malvagio e opposto al Cielo che è il governo cinese. Mi aveva privato della libertà di seguire il vero Dio, mi aveva condotto sull’orlo della morte e non mi consentiva di adorare il vero Dio. Il Partito Comunista si oppone con tutte le forze a Dio, perseguita crudelmente i cristiani e intende sterminare tutti coloro che credono in Dio, per fare della Cina un Paese ateo. Questo malvagio demone Satana è effettivamente il nemico che si oppone a Dio in maniera inconciliabile e, per di più, è il nemico che io non potrò mai perdonare. Ho giurato che, se anche fossi stato torturato a morte quel giorno stesso, assolutamente non sarei sceso a compromessi e non mi sarei arreso a Satana! In preda al dolore e all’indignazione, mi sono rammentato una cosa che aveva detto Dio: “Migliaia di anni di odio sono concentrati nel cuore, millenni di peccaminosità sono incisi nel cuore – come potrebbe ciò non ispirare ripugnanza? Vendicare Dio, estinguere completamente il Suo nemico, non permettere a costui di dilagare ulteriormente, e non permettergli di continuare a creare problemi a proprio piacimento! Adesso è il momento: l’uomo da tempo è andato raccogliendo tutte le sue forze, e ha dedicato tutti i propri sforzi, pagato ogni prezzo per questo, per fare a brandelli l’odioso volto di questo demone e permettere alle persone, che sono state accecate e hanno patito ogni genere di sofferenza e di difficoltà, di risollevarsi dalle loro sofferenze e voltare le spalle a questo antico diavolo malvagio” (“Lavoro e ingresso (8)” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Dopo avere riflettuto sulle parole di Dio, ho visto ancora più chiaramente il volto malvagio e demoniaco del governo cinese e ho constatato che proprio in quel momento stavo affrontando una battaglia spirituale fra la vita e la morte, fra il bene e il male. Lo scopo del governo cinese nel distruggermi in questo modo era costringermi ad abbandonare Dio e a tradirLo, ma Dio mi aveva rammentato e incoraggiato a rimanere forte, a liberarmi della presa che aveva su di me la morte e a renderGli una testimonianza vittoriosa. Non potevo ritirarmi nella negatività; dovevo collaborare diligentemente con Dio e sottomettermi alle Sue orchestrazioni e disposizioni. Come Pietro, dovevo sottomettermi fino alla morte e, nel mio ultimo momento di vita, rendere a Dio una testimonianza salda e risonante e confortare il Suo cuore. La mia vita era nelle mani di Dio e, sebbene Satana potesse ferirmi e massacrarmi il corpo fisico, non poteva distruggermi l’anima, tanto meno fare qualcosa per ostacolare la mia determinazione a credere in Dio e a ricercare la verità. Che sopravvivessi o no quel giorno, il mio unico desiderio era affidare la mia vita a Dio e accettare le Sue orchestrazioni; anche se fossi stato menomato fino a morirne, assolutamente non mi sarei arreso a Satana! Quando mi sono detto disposto a sacrificare la vita e ho deciso di rendere testimonianza a Dio, Egli mi ha dischiuso una via d’uscita inducendo gli altri detenuti a farmi mangiare. Quando è successo quest0, mi sono sentito colmo di entusiasmo; nel profondo sapevo che Dio era al mio fianco ed era stato sempre con me. Per tutto il tempo aveva vegliato su di me e mi aveva protetto, avendo compassione per la mia debolezza e predisponendo tutto per me. In quel tenebroso covo di diavoli, anche se il mio corpo era distrutto, nel cuore non provavo più tanto dolore e tanta disperazione. Dopo quel momento, i malvagi poliziotti mi hanno tenuto in carcere ancora per quindici giorni, ma vedendo che la mia vita era appesa a un filo e che potevo morire da un momento all’altro, alla fine non hanno avuto altra scelta che scarcerarmi. In origine pesavo più di 50 chili, ma nei quasi due mesi di carcere sono stato tormentato fino a ridurmi pelle e ossa: pesavo appena 25 o 30 chili ed ero in pericolo di vita. Ciò nonostante, questo branco di mostri voleva ancora multarmi di diecimila yuan. Alla fine, vedendo che la mia famiglia non aveva alcun modo di reperire una simile somma di denaro, hanno chiesto seicento yuan per pagare le spese per la mia alimentazione, e solo quando l’importo è stato versato mi hanno lasciato andare.
Subire questa tortura disumana e questo trattamento crudele per mano del governo cinese mi ha lasciato la sensazione di essere sfuggito per un pelo alle porte dell’inferno. Che ne fossi uscito vivo era dovuto unicamente alla cura e alla protezione di Dio; Egli mi stava mostrando la Sua grandiosa salvezza. Pensando all’amore di Dio, mi sono sentito doppiamente commosso, e ho imparato ad apprezzare ancora più a fondo la preziosità delle Sue parole. Così, ho preso a leggere ogni giorno avidamente i Suoi discorsi e pregavo spesso Dio. A poco a poco ho capito sempre meglio l’opera che Dio stava compiendo per salvare l’umanità negli ultimi giorni. Dopo un po’, con la cura di Dio, il mio corpo si è ripreso a poco a poco e io ho ricominciato a diffondere il Vangelo e a testimoniare l’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni. Eppure, finché quel regime satanico rimarrà in piedi, non smetterà mai di cercare di sconvolgere e distruggere l’opera di Dio. In seguito ho di nuovo subìto una caccia frenetica e un arresto da parte della polizia del governo cinese.
Un giorno di novembre del 2004, soffiava un vento gelido e nell’aria turbinavano grossi fiocchi di neve. Durante la nostra opera di diffusione del Vangelo, io e alcuni fratelli e sorelle siamo stati seguiti di nascosto dalla polizia del PCC. Alle otto di sera eravamo nel bel mezzo di una riunione quando abbiamo udito un improvviso picchiare e gridare alla porta: “Aprite! Aprite la porta! Siamo dell’Ufficio di Pubblica Sicurezza! Se non aprite subito questa porta, la sfondiamo!” Senza aver tempo di pensare, ci siamo affrettati a nascondere i lettori VCD, i libri e altro materiale. Un attimo dopo, cinque o sei poliziotti hanno sfondato la porta, irrompendo come un branco di banditi o rapinatori. Uno di loro ha gridato: “Fermi tutti! Mettete le mani sulla testa e accovacciatevi accanto al muro!” Immediatamente alcuni poliziotti sono entrati in ogni stanza mettendo a soqquadro l’intera l’abitazione. Hanno confiscato quattro lettori VCD portatili e alcuni libri sulla fede in Dio. Subito dopo ci hanno costretti a salire nelle auto della polizia e ci hanno condotti alla stazione di polizia locale. Durante il tragitto mi sono tornate alla memoria una dopo l’altra le scene delle orrende torture inflittemi l’anno prima da quei malvagi poliziotti e inevitabilmente mi sono sentito piuttosto nervoso, non sapendo che altro avrebbero potuto inventarsi questa volta per tormentarmi. Temendo di non riuscire a sopportare la loro crudeltà e di finire col tradire Dio, in silenzio ho pregato Dio con fervore. All’improvviso mi sono rammentato alcune Sue parole che avevamo letto durante una riunione alcuni giorni prima: “Io sono colmo di speranza per i Miei fratelli e le Mie sorelle, credo che non siate né desolati né scoraggiati, e che a prescindere da ciò che Dio compie voi siate come un braciere acceso: non siete mai tiepidi e sapete persistere sino in fondo, finché l’opera di Dio sarà stata pienamente rivelata […]” (“Il cammino… (8)” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). “Tutti noi possiamo giurare davanti a Dio: ‘Operare uniti! Devozione fino alla fine! Non separarsi mai, per essere sempre insieme!’. Possiate voi, Miei fratelli e sorelle, prendere questa decisione davanti a Dio, in modo che i nostri cuori non si allontanino e le nostre volontà siano incrollabili!” (“Il cammino… (5)” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Le parole di Dio mi hanno scosso nel profondo. Ho pensato a come Dio fosse disceso dal cielo in terra e avesse subìto tante prove e tribolazioni durante la Sua opera per offrire salvezza all’umanità. La Sua speranza è che le persone rimangano saldamente fedeli a Lui sino alla fine, per quanto grave sia la loro situazione. Essendo stato prescelto da Dio e avendo gioito del nutrimento dei Suoi discorsi, era giusto che mi offrissi interamente a Lui. “Per quanto io possa soffrire o essere tormentato”, ho pensato, “il mio cuore deve rimanere colmo di fede; i miei sentimenti verso Dio non devono mutare, la mia volontà non deve vacillare. Devo rendere a Dio una testimonianza risonante e non devo assolutamente arrendermi né cedere a Satana. Inoltre non devo tradirLo per andare poi a trascinare avanti un’esistenza ignobile e priva di significato. Dio è Colui dal quale io dipendo e, oltre a questo, è il mio sostegno fidato. Purché io collabori sinceramente con Lui, di certo Egli mi guiderà alla vittoria su Satana”. Così in silenzio ho comunicato la mia decisione a Dio: “O Dio! Anche se devo sacrificare la vita, Ti renderò testimonianza. Qualunque sofferenza io debba sopportare, mi atterrò alla vera via. Mi rifiuto assolutamente di arrendermi a Satana!” Rinvigorita dalle parole di Dio, la mia fede è sbocciata cento volte di più e io ho trovato la fede e la determinazione per sacrificare tutto allo scopo di rimanere saldo nella testimonianza a Dio.
N0n appena siamo arrivati alla stazione di polizia, gli agenti sono corsi a riscaldarsi vicino alla stufa. Tutti mi fissavano, e con le sopracciglia aggrottate e gli occhi infuocati mi interrogavano con voce severa: “Parla! Come ti chiami? A quante persone hai comunicato il Vangelo? Con chi sei stato in contatto? Chi è il capo della tua Chiesa?” Vedendo che ero deciso a rimanere in silenzio, uno dei malvagi poliziotti ha rivelato la sua natura brutale avventandosi su di me e afferrandomi furiosamente per il collo. Mi ha poi sbattuto la testa contro il muro, ripetutamente, fino a stordirmi e a farmi fischiare le orecchie. Poi ha alzato il pugno e mi ha colpito ferocemente al viso e alla testa, gridando: “Sei tu il maledetto capo, vero? Parla! Se no ti appendo in cima all’edificio e ti faccio morire congelato!” Quei malvagi poliziotti mi hanno picchiato brutalmente per una buona mezz’ora o più, fino a farmi vedere le stelle, col sangue che mi colava dal naso. Vedendo che non ottenevano le risposte volute, mi hanno condotto all’Ufficio di Pubblica Sicurezza. Lungo la strada, pensavo al folle pestaggio che avevo appena subìto da parte di quei malvagi poliziotti e sono stato pervaso da un’involontaria ondata di paura. Ho pensato: “Visto che hanno avuto la mano pesante con me appena giunto alla stazione di polizia, a che genere di crudeltà si spingeranno i poliziotti dell’Ufficio di Pubblica Sicurezza per torturarmi? Per me le cose si mettono male. Questa volta forse non ne uscirò vivo…” Mentre rimuginavo tutto questo, il cuore mi si colmava di un senso indescrivibile di disperazione e tristezza. Nel pieno dell’angoscia e dello smarrimento, all’improvviso mi sono ricordato di come Dio mi avesse consentito di sopravvivere miracolosamente l’anno prima, quando i malvagi poliziotti mi avevano torturato fino a pormi in pericolo di vita. Mi sono subito rasserenato, pensando: “Il fatto che io viva oppure muoia è nelle mani di Dio, no? Senza il permesso di Dio, Satana non può riuscire a uccidermi, per quanto ci provi. Ho visto nel passato gli atti meravigliosi di Dio, come posso essermene dimenticato? Come posso essere così privo di fede?” In quel momento ho visto che la mia levatura era ancora troppo immatura: di fronte alla prova della morte imminente, non ero ancora capace di rimanere accanto a Dio. Non ho potuto fare a meno di rammentare uno dei Suoi discorsi: “Ma vivere nella tua mente significa essere preso da Satana e questo è un vicolo cieco. È molto semplice: consideraMi con il tuo cuore e il tuo spirito diventerà immediatamente forte, avrai un cammino da praticare e Io guiderò ogni tuo passo. La Mia parola ti sarà rivelata in ogni momento e in ogni luogo. A prescindere da dove e quando, o da quanto l’ambiente sia avverso, Mi mostrerò a te chiaramente e il Mio cuore ti sarà rivelato se ti rivolgi a Me con il tuo cuore; in questo modo percorrerai la strada di fronte a te e non la perderai mai” (Capitolo 13 di “Discorsi di Cristo al principio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Le parole di Dio erano un faro che indicava la via, fornendomi una sempre maggiore lucidità di mente. Mi sono reso conto che Dio voleva usare questo ambiente ostile per purificarmi, in modo che nei momenti di crisi io abbandonassi i concetti e le fantasie e le mie preoccupazioni riguardo alla carne e andassi avanti affidandomi unicamente a Dio e dipendendo dalle Sue parole. Questo era un momento cruciale in cui Dio mi guidava a sperimentare la Sua opera, e ho capito che assolutamente non dovevo tirarmi indietro. Dovevo mettere la mia vita e la mia morte interamente nelle mani di Dio e affidarmi solamente a Lui, lottando sino alla fine contro Satana!
Quando siamo arrivati all’Ufficio di Pubblica Sicurezza, di nuovo i poliziotti ci hanno separati e interrogati singolarmente. Mentre cercavano continuamente di costringermi a parlare di questioni concernenti la mia fede in Dio, uno dei malvagi poliziotti, vedendo che insistevo a tenere la bocca chiusa, si è infuriato: “Pensi davvero di cavartela facendo il muto con noi. Ho finito la pazienza!” Così dicendo, mi ha afferrato per il colletto con entrambe le mani e mi ha scaraventato a terra come un sacchetto di sabbia. Poi gli altri malvagi poliziotti sono accorsi e hanno cominciato a prendermi a calci e a pestarmi dappertutto, fino a farmi rotolare sul pavimento per il dolore. Dopo di che mi hanno messo i piedi sulla testa e hanno premuto forte, sfregando avanti e indietro… Ancora non mi ero del tutto ripreso dalle torture selvagge che avevo sopportato l’anno prima, così dopo essere stato picchiato tanto brutalmente ho provato subito stordimento e nausea. Dolorante dalla testa ai piedi, mi sono raggomitolato. Poi il malvagio poliziotto mi ha strappato via le scarpe e i calzini e mi ha costretto a stare in piedi scalzo. Faceva un tale freddo che involontariamente battevo i denti e i piedi mi si sono intorpiditi. Mi sembrava di non farcela più, di stare per crollare a terra da un momento all’altro. Di fronte ai tormenti crudeli di questi malevoli poliziotti, non ho potuto fare a meno di provare un ardente senso di collera e indignazione. Disprezzavo questi scagnozzi del demonio, di una malvagità assoluta, e aborrivo il vile e reazionario governo cinese, che si oppone al Cielo ed è nemico di Dio, e per costringermi a tradire Dio e a rifiutarLo mi stava devastando e torturando, deciso a tutti i costi a mettermi a morte. Di fronte alla brutalità e alla crudeltà di Satana, ho pensato ancor più all’amore di Dio, soffermandomi sul fatto che per portare la salvezza all’umanità, e a beneficio della nostra futura esistenza, Egli aveva sopportato un’umiliazione estrema quando è venuto di persona fra noi per compiere la Sua opera. Aveva dato la vita per noi e adesso esprimeva con pazienza e sollecitudine le Sue parole per condurci lungo il cammino della ricerca della verità allo scopo di conseguire la salvezza… Valutando quel prezzo scrupolosamente pagato da Dio per la salvezza dell’umanità, mi sono reso conto di come nessuno mi amasse più di Dio; Egli teneva alla mia vita più di chiunque altro. Satana poteva soltanto ferirmi, o divorarmi e uccidermi. In quel momento ho sentito sbocciare nel cuore ancora più affetto e adorazione per Dio e non ho potuto fare a meno di pregarLo in silenzio: “Dio, grazie perché mi guidi e mi salvi in questo modo. Per quanto Satana possa torturarmi oggi, io sicuramente mi impegnerò a fondo per collaborare con Te. Lo giuro, non mi arrenderò e non cederò al demonio!” Con l’incoraggiamento dell’amore di Dio, anche se il mio corpo fisico era debole e fiacco per il tormento, il mio cuore era saldo e forte e io non mi sono arreso nemmeno una volta a quei malvagi poliziotti. Hanno continuato a torturarmi fino all’una di notte, quando, vedendo che non riuscivano proprio a ottenere risposte da me, non hanno avuto altra scelta che condurmi al centro di detenzione.
All’arrivo al centro di detenzione, di nuovo quei malvagi poliziotti hanno incitato i bulli del carcere a escogitare dei metodi per punirmi. Ormai ero stato tormentato a tal punto che avevo il corpo ricoperto di tagli e lividi; ero completamente stremato e appena entrato in cella sono crollato sul pavimento gelido. Vedendomi così, senza dire una parola, i bulli del carcere mi hanno tirato su e mi hanno preso a pugni in testa. Mi hanno picchiato fino a darmi le vertigini, e di nuovo sono caduto pesantemente a terra. Dopo di che i detenuti sono arrivati tutti a tormentarmi, costringendomi a premere una mano sul pavimento e l’altra sull’orecchio e poi a roteare in cerchio come una bussola. Vedendomi stordito a terra prima di avere portato a termine un paio di giri, mi hanno di nuovo preso a calci e picchiato. Uno dei detenuti mi ha perfino assestato un colpo feroce all’addome, facendomi perdere i sensi all’istante. Dopo di che gli agenti penitenziari hanno dato istruzioni ai detenuti di torturarmi e picchiarmi in maniera diversa ogni giorno e di farmi fare tutti i lavori sporchi quotidiani, come lavare i piatti, pulire le latrine e così via. Ero perfino costretto a fare docce fredde nelle giornate di neve. Inoltre, ogni volta che facevo la doccia, tutti mi costringevano a insaponarmi dalla testa ai piedi e poi mi facevano colare lentamente l’acqua gelida su tutto il corpo. Dopo quasi mezz’ora di doccia, avevo così freddo che ero viola dappertutto e tremavo. Di fronte a queste torture e crudeltà disumane, pregavo continuamente Dio, terrorizzato al pensiero che, se Lo avessi abbandonato, sarei diventato completamente prigioniero di Satana. Attraverso la preghiera, le parole di Dio risuonavano continuamente in me e mi guidavano: “Coloro che Dio definisce vincitori sono quelli che possono ancora testimoniare, conservare la fiducia e la propria devozione a Lui quando sono influenzati e assediati da Satana, ossia quando si trovano nelle forze dell’oscurità. Se sei ancora capace di conservare un cuore puro e un amore sincero per Dio a prescindere da tutto, sei testimone innanzi a Lui, e questo è ciò che Egli definisce essere un vincitore” (“Dovresti preservare la tua devozione per Dio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Le parole di Dio erano una luce che mi illuminava e mi calmava i pensieri. Sapevo che proprio quando ero assediato da Satana era il momento in cui dovevo avere lealtà e amore per Dio. Anche se questo ambiente disgraziato aveva causato sofferenze e tormenti al mio corpo fisico, dietro tutto questo si celavano il grande amore e le benedizioni di Dio. Era Dio ad avermi dato l’occasione di renderGli testimonianza davanti a Satana e di umiliare totalmente e sconfiggere Satana. Pertanto, mentre subivo queste sofferenze, rammentavo a me stesso ripetutamente che dovevo essere paziente sino alla fine, rimanere saldo nella testimonianza a Dio affidandomi alla Sua guida in questo tenebroso covo di demoni e sforzarmi di essere un vincitore. Guidato dalle parole di Dio, il mio cuore si è fatto saldo e forte. Malgrado la debolezza e il tormento che mi devastavano il corpo fisico, ero fiducioso di poter sopportare tutto allo scopo di avviare una battaglia per la vita o per la morte contro Satana e, col mio ultimo respiro, testimoniare Dio.
Dopo oltre venti giorni di carcere, mi sono preso una grave infreddatura. Avevo tutti e quattro gli arti doloranti e flosci, ero completamente privo di forze e avevo la mente confusa. Col peggioramento delle mie condizioni e con gli spietati pestaggi e torture degli altri detenuti, mi sentivo incapace di resistere ancora. Nel cuore ero particolarmente debole e depresso e pensavo: “Quando finiranno questo tormento e questa crudeltà quotidiani? A quanto pare stavolta verrò condannato, perciò non vi è molta speranza per me di uscire vivo da qui…” Non appena ho pensato così, mi è sembrato che il cuore fosse precipitato in un abisso, e sono sprofondato in una disperazione e un dolore così profondi che non trovavo più la via d’uscita. Nel momento più disperato, mi sono rammentato un inno delle parole di Dio: “Io non voglio che tu sia capace di pronunciare molte parole toccanti, o di raccontare tante storie entusiasmanti; piuttosto, ti chiedo di essere in grado di renderMi una bella testimonianza, e di entrare pienamente e profondamente nella realtà. […] Non pensate più alle vostre prospettive, e agite come avete stabilito davanti a Me, di sottomettervi alle orchestrazioni di Dio in tutte le cose. Tutti quelli che si trovano nella Mia casa dovrebbero fare il possibile; tu dovresti offrire il lato migliore di te stesso all’ultima parte della Mia opera sulla terra. Sei realmente disposto a mettere in pratica queste cose?” (“Siete realmente disposti a sottomettervi alle orchestrazioni di Dio?” in “Seguire l’Agnello e cantare dei canti nuovi”). Riga per riga, le parole di Dio mi hanno percosso il cuore, facendomi provare una profonda vergogna. Ho pensato a tutte le volte in cui avevo versato lacrime amare e mi sono deciso a dedicarmi a Dio in tutte le cose e sottomettermi alle Sue orchestrazioni e disposizioni. Inoltre ho pensato a come, quando le parole di Dio mi avevano guidato mentre sopportavo sofferenze e torture, avessi giurato sulla mia vita davanti a Lui che sarei rimasto saldo nella testimonianza, ma poi, quando a Dio veramente serviva che io pagassi un prezzo per soddisfarLo, mi aggrappavo invece vilmente alla vita e temevo la morte, preoccupandomi soltanto di quel che sarebbe successo al mio corpo fisico. Avevo completamente ignorato la volontà di Dio e pensavo solo a sottrarmi alla mia situazione e a mettermi in salvo il più presto possibile. Ho capito quanto fossi meschino e indegno; non avevo sufficiente fede in Dio ed ero colmo di intenzioni ingannevoli. Non ero in grado di rivolgere a Dio una vera devozione e non avevo in corpo nemmeno un osso davvero obbediente. In quel momento ho capito che nell’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni ciò che Egli vuole sono il vero amore e la vera lealtà da parte dell’umanità; queste sono le ultime richieste di Dio e gli ultimi compiti da Lui assegnati all’umanità. “In quanto persona che crede in Dio”, pensavo, “dovrei mettermi completamente nelle Sue mani. Poiché la vita mi è stata data da Dio, Egli ha l’ultima parola sul fatto che io viva o muoia. Dato che ho scelto Dio, devo offrirmi a Lui e sottomettermi alle Sue orchestrazioni; per quante sofferenze e umiliazioni io possa subire, devo dedicarmi a Dio con le mie azioni. Non devo avere scelte o esigenze mie; questo è il mio dovere, nonché il senno che dovrei avere. Il fatto che io potessi ancora respirare e fossi vivo era dovuto unicamente alla protezione e alla cura di Dio; questa era la Sua provvista di vita; altrimenti non sarei stato già da tempo distrutto e ucciso dal diavolo? Quando per la prima volta avevo subìto sofferenze e patimenti così intensi, Dio mi aveva guidato a superarli. Che motivo avevo adesso di perdere fiducia in Lui? Come potevo essere negativo e debole, ritirarmi e desiderare di fuggire?” Quando mi è venuto questo pensiero, in silenzio ho confessato a Dio la mia colpa: “Dio Onnipotente! Sono davvero egoista e avido; ho solo voluto gioire del Tuo amore e delle Tue benedizioni, ma non sono stato disposto a dedicarmi sinceramente a Te. Quando penso di dover sopportare la sofferenza di lunghi anni di carcere, desidero soltanto uscire di qui per evitarla. Ho davvero urtato terribilmente i tuoi sentimenti. O Dio! Non voglio continuare a sprofondare ancora; desidero soltanto sottomettermi alle Tue orchestrazioni e disposizioni e accettare la Tua guida. Anche se muoio in carcere, voglio ugualmente renderTi salda testimonianza. Anche se sarò torturato a morte, Ti rimarrò fedele sino alla fine!” Dopo avere pregato, mi sono sentito doppiamente commosso. Anche se provavo dolore come prima, nel cuore sentivo di avere fede e determinazione a non arrendermi finché non avessi onorato il mio giuramento di soddisfare Dio. Non appena mi sono sentito deciso e fiducioso di poter restare saldo nella testimonianza a Dio fino alla morte, è successa una cosa miracolosa. Una mattina presto mi sono alzato dal letto e ho scoperto di non avere più la sensibilità ai piedi. Non riuscivo affatto a sostenermi, tanto meno a camminare. Inizialmente quei malvagi poliziotti non mi hanno creduto; supponendo che io fingessi, hanno cercato di costringermi a stare in piedi. Tuttavia, per quanto ci provassi, non ci riuscivo, Sono ritornati il giorno seguente a esaminarmi. Notando che avevo entrambi i piedi gelidi e del tutto privi di circolazione sanguigna, si sono convinti che ero davvero paralizzato. Dopo di che hanno comunicato ai miei familiari che potevano riportarmi a casa. Il giorno in cui sono arrivato a casa, miracolosamente mi è ritornata la sensibilità ai piedi e non ho avuto alcuna difficoltà a camminare! So nel profondo che tutto questo è dovuto a Dio Onnipotente, che ha mostrato compassione per la mia debolezza. Egli Stesso mi ha dischiuso una via d’uscita, consentendomi di andarmene libero e senza intoppi dal covo di Satana dopo essere stato detenuto illegalmente per un mese dal governo cinese.
Dopo essere stato due volte detenuto e sottoposto alle torture crudeli e disumane del governo cinese, anche se fisicamente avevo sofferto ed ero stato perfino prossimo alla morte, queste due esperienze straordinarie in realtà hanno costituito un solido fondamento per il mio cammino verso la fede in Dio. Nel pieno delle mie sofferenze e tribolazioni, Dio Onnipotente mi ha offerto la più concreta possibilità di dissetarmi con la verità e la Sua provvista di vita, non solo consentendomi di capire a fondo le intenzioni del governo cinese, il suo odio per la verità, la sua inimicizia verso Dio e il suo volto demoniaco, e di venire a conoscenza dei crimini efferati con cui si oppone a Dio e perseguita i Suoi fedeli, ma anche offrendomi la capacità di apprezzare la potenza e l’autorità delle parole di Dio. Il fatto che io sia riuscito a sottrarre per due volte la mia vita alle malvagie grinfie del Partito Comunista Cinese è stato unicamente il risultato della cura e della misericordia di Dio. Inoltre, in tal modo si è concretata e confermata la straordinaria forza vitale di Dio. Adesso mi rendo conto profondamente che in ogni momento e in ogni luogo Dio Onnipotente è sempre stato il mio unico sostegno e la mia salvezza! In questa vita, per quanti pericoli o patimenti io possa subire, sono deciso a perseverare nel mio impegno a seguire Dio Onnipotente, diffondendo attivamente la Sua parola e rendendo testimonianza al nome di Dio, ripagando il Suo amore con la mia autentica devozione!

Geoffroy normally works with art formats like the EMERGENCY ROOM
to stimulate urgent expression by artist about today 's emergencies :
www.emergencyrooms.org/formats.html
www.colonel.dk contact : emergencyrooms@gmail.comThierry Geoffroy/ Colonel will be exhibiting in the museum Kunsthalle Mannheim from october 2018 part of the exhibition Konstruktion der Welt .Kunst und Ökonomie
Constructing the World: Art and Economy 1919-1939 and 2008-2018
10/12/18 to 02/03/19
Ten years after the peak of the global financial crisis in 2008, which profoundly shook the economic systems of America and Europe and had a lasting effect on present-day life, this topical exhibition is the first to illustrate the economy’s dramatic influence on art and to make global comparisons, demonstrating these in an analysis of two separate eras. Economic phenomena in the classical modernism of the 1920s and 30s are not only explored by focusing on art from the German Weimar Republic, the Soviet Union, and the United States, but also juxtaposed with artists of the present day.
Curatorial team: Dr. Eckhart Gillen (Berlin), Dr. Ulrike Lorenz, Dr. Sebastian Baden
Project Lead: Dr. Inge Herold, Assistence: Lisa Valentina Riedel, M. A. mult., Elisabeth Bohnet, M.A.
How does contemporary art reflect the world of work today? The catalogue for the second part of the exhibition Constructing the World at the Kunsthalle Mannheim takes a look at this question. The focus of it is primarily on artistic positions of the past decade that deal with the social, political, and economic effects of the most recent economic crisis after 2008. The works address and interrogate new production conditions and developments on the labor market as well as political conflicts. The accompanying publication provides fascinating insights into the diverse artistic positions.

Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe, published in 1852.
Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Academy and an active abolitionist, featured the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave around whom the stories of other characters revolve. The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.
Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible
It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States; one million copies were sold in Great Britain. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called "the most popular novel of our day." The impact attributed to the book is great, reinforced by a story that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the Civil War, Lincoln declared, "So this is the little lady who started this great war." The quote is apocryphal; it did not appear in print until 1896, and it has been argued that "The long-term durability of Lincoln's greeting as an anecdote in literary studies and Stowe scholarship can perhaps be explained in part by the desire among many contemporary intellectuals ... to affirm the role of literature as an agent of social change."
Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Academy and an active abolitionist, wrote the novel as a response to the 1850 passage of the second Fugitive Slave Act.
Much of the book was composed in Brunswick, Maine, where her husband, Calvin Ellis Stowe, taught at his alma mater, Bowdoin College.
Stowe was partly inspired to create Uncle Tom's Cabin by the 1849 slave narrative The Life of Josiah Henson, Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada, as Narrated by Himself. Henson, a formerly enslaved black man, had lived and worked on a 3,700 acres (15 km2) tobacco plantation in North Bethesda, Maryland, owned by Isaac Riley.[ Henson escaped slavery in 1830 by fleeing to the Province of Upper Canada (now Ontario), where he helped other fugitive slaves settle and become self-sufficient, and where he wrote his memoirs.
Stowe acknowledged in 1853 that Henson's writings inspired Uncle Tom's Cabin. When Stowe's work became a best-seller, Henson republished his memoirs as The Memoirs of Uncle Tom and traveled on lecture tours extensively in the United States and Europe. Stowe's novel lent its name to Henson's home—Uncle Tom's Cabin Historic Site, near Dresden, Canada—which since the 1940s has been a museum. The cabin where Henson lived while he was enslaved no longer exists, but cabin on the Riley farm erroneously thought to be the Henson Cabin was purchased by the Montgomery County, Maryland, government in 2006. It is now a part of the National Park Service National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom program, and plans are underway to build a museum and interpretive center on the site.
American Slavery As It Is: Testimony of a Thousand Witnesses, a volume co-authored by Theodore Dwight Weld and the Grimké sisters, is also a source of some of the novel's content.
Stowe said she based the novel on a number of interviews with people who escaped slavery during the time when she was living in Cincinnati, Ohio, across the Ohio River from Kentucky, a slave state. In Cincinnati the Underground Railroad had local abolitionist sympathizers and was active in efforts to help runaway slaves on their escape route from the South.
Uncle Tom's Cabin first appeared as a 40-week serial in National Era, an abolitionist periodical, starting with the June 5, 1851, issue. Because of the story's popularity, the publisher John Jewett contacted Stowe about turning the serial into a book. While Stowe questioned if anyone would read Uncle Tom's Cabin in book form, she eventually consented to the request.
Convinced the book would be popular, Jewett made the unusual decision (for that time) to have six full-page illustrations by Hammatt Billings engraved for the first printing.
Published in book form on March 20, 1852, the novel soon sold out its complete print run. A number of other editions were soon printed (including a deluxe edition in 1853, featuring 117 illustrations by Billings).
The book was translated into all major languages, and in the United States it became the second best-selling book after the Bible. Uncle Tom's Cabin sold equally well in Britain, with the first London edition appearing in May 1852 and selling 200,000 copies. In a few years over 1.5 million copies of the book were in circulation in Britain, although most of these were pirated copies (a similar situation occurred in the United States).
Uncle Tom's Cabin outraged people in the American South.[24] The novel was also roundly criticized by slavery supporters.
Acclaimed Southern novelist William Gilmore Simms declared the work utterly false, while others called the novel criminal and slanderous. Reactions ranged from a bookseller in Mobile, Alabama, who was forced to leave town for selling the novel to threatening letters sent to Stowe (including a package containing a slave's severed ear).
Many Southern writers, like Simms, soon wrote their own books in opposition to Stowe's novel.
In response to Uncle Tom's Cabin, writers in the Southern United States produced a number of books to rebut Stowe's novel. This so-called Anti-Tom literature generally took a pro-slavery viewpoint, arguing that the issues of slavery as depicted in Stowe's book were overblown and incorrect. The novels in this genre tended to feature a benign white patriarchal master and a pure wife, both of whom presided over childlike slaves in a benevolent extended family style plantation. The novels either implied or directly stated that African Americans were a childlike people unable to live their lives without being directly overseen by white people.
Among the most famous anti-Tom books are The Sword and the Distaff by William Gilmore Simms, Aunt Phillis's Cabin by Mary Henderson Eastman, and The Planter's Northern Bride by Caroline Lee Hentz, with the last author having been a close personal friend of Stowe's when the two lived in Cincinnati. Simms' book was published a few months after Stowe's novel, and it contains a number of sections and discussions disputing Stowe's book and her view of slavery. Hentz's 1854 novel, widely-read at the time but now largely forgotten, offers a defense of slavery as seen through the eyes of a northern woman—the daughter of an abolitionist, no less—who marries a southern slave owner.
In the decade between the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin and the start of the American Civil War, between twenty and thirty anti-Tom books were published. Among these novels are two books titled Uncle Tom's Cabin As It Is (one by W.L. Smith and the other by C.H. Wiley) and a book by John Pendleton Kennedy. More than half of these anti-Tom books were written by white women, with Simms commenting at one point about the "Seemingly poetic justice of having the Northern woman (Stowe) answered by a Southern woman."
Even though Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century, far more Americans of that time saw the story as a stage play or musical than read the book.[84] Eric Lott, in his book Uncle Tomitudes: Racial Melodrama and Modes of Production, estimates that at least three million people saw these plays, ten times the book's first-year sales.
Uncle Tom's Cabin has been adapted several times as a film. Most of these movies were created during the silent film era (Uncle Tom's Cabin was the most-filmed book of that time period).[93] Because of the continuing popularity of both the book and "Tom" shows, audiences were already familiar with the characters and the plot, making it easier for the film to be understood without spoken words. There has been no Hollywood treatment since the end of the silent era.

Torino è una città strana.
Alcune fabbriche chiudono, altre si aprono alla creatività.
L’ex Aspira di via Foggia 28 aveva ormai il destino segnato: sarebbe stata abbattuta per far posto a moderni loft ad uso abitativo. Prima però che il suo destino si compisse, gli spazi sono stati presi in consegna da Raw Tella e Eugenio Dragoni, che hanno letteralmente stravolto capannoni, cortile interno, uffici.
A giugno è nato il WTC – War Trade Center, che per due mesi ha saputo catalizzare tutti i nomi della street art torinese, molti esponenti di quella nazionale e alcuni ospiti d’oltre confine. Una delle più grandi e coinvolgenti esposizioni di street art mai viste in città. E con un elemento di forza in più rispetto a qualsiasi mostra/esposizione dedicata a graffitismo e affini. Così come capita in strada, anche negli spazi di via Foggia 28 le opere non potevano avere carattere permanente. Realizzate direttamente sui muri, sarebbero state abbattute, insieme alla fabbrica.
StreetArTO era nato da poco (febbraio 2011), con l’intento di raccontare la street art torinese. Trovarsela tutta riunita in uno spazio così suggestivo è stata una piacevolissima sorpresa.
Il giorno dell’inaugurazione una piscina è comparsa in cortile; gli skaters si producevano in acrobazie su rampe e pedane posizionate tra opere di Pixel Pancho e Galo, Xel e Lapiztola; si ballava la break dance sotto un lavoro di Eme de M, mentre la musica segnava il ritmo tra le persone in coda al bar, inglobate nella testa di Medusa realizzata dai Truly Design con la tecnica dell’anamorfismo. Nel cortile – dove si affacciavano l’albero di parole di Opiemme, le bambine di Nox, la grande tartaruga di Roa e gli strani extraterrestri realizzati da TO LET e Mp5 – Gec ha racchiuso in poche parole il senso di quei due mesi, in cui le pareti della fabbrica si popolavano di storie e personaggi, cambiando aspetto dal giorno alla notte: “Qui, oggi, direi Berlino – Torino: 1 a 1!”.

Dong Jingxin is a preacher in a house church in China. She's believed in the Lord for thirty years, and loves the truth; she frequently reads the Lord's words and is driven by them. She expends herself for the Lord with enthusiasm. Because of her preaching work, she was arrested by the police of the Chinese Communist government and sent to prison where she endured cruelty and torture. It was the words of the Lord that guided her through enduring seven years of inhuman prison life. After getting out, her co-worker Chenguang comes to see her and reads to her from the words of Almighty God, bearing witness that God has appeared and is working in the last days . She also gives her a copy of The Word Appears in the Flesh. After reading quite a bit of the words of Almighty God, Dong Jingxin feels that they are authoritative and that they have come from God. She develops a heart of longing to seek. Dong Jingxin and her husband hungrily devour the words of Almighty God and discover that they are all the truth, and that they are the voice of God. They determine that Almighty God really is the return of the Lord Jesus they have been awaiting for years! Just as the two of them are awash in the joy of welcoming the return of the Lord, the chief of police pays them a visit to warn them against attending any gatherings or doing any preaching. He warns them that they particularly must report anyone who preaches Eastern Lightning , giving rise to anxiety in Dong Jingxin. After that, once their pastor finds out that Dong Jingxin is leading brothers and sisters to look into the work of God in the last days, he also interferes with and blocks them. Faced with confusion and disruption from the forces of Satan, Dong Jingxin is able to clearly see the true face of the pastors and elders of the religious world through prayer, seeking, and fellowship. She does not back down, but continues to lead brothers and sisters to investigate the true way, and she invites people from the Church of Almighty God to give fellowship and bear witness to the work of Almighty God in the last days. In the end, everyone acknowledges that the words uttered by Almighty God really are the voice of God, and that He is the appearance of God. Everyone is deeply moved: What a beautiful voice the words of Almighty God are!
ROSSLAND is in the West Kootenay region of south central British Columbia. High in the Monashee Mountains. In March 1897, Rossland became a city. The eight doctors, 17 legal firms, and 42 saloons served an estimated 7,000 residents. This peak aligned with the 1901 census count of 6,000. A string of newspapers followed, the Rossland Miner being the most enduring. The fire of August 1902 consumed both sides of upper Spokane Street, leaving only the old International Hotel standing. A December 1905 explosion wrecked roofs and shattered windows. The fires of January 1927, and March 1929, levelled the wooden buildings of Columbia Street. Depleting mines, World War I, and the Great Depression shrank the population.
The ROSSLAND Post Office was established - 1 March 1895 and became Rossland Postal Station of Trail - 1 May 1972.

R-5 de GOZAN (1972)
"(...) Renault 5 fabricado por GOZAN (con sede en el municipio alicantino de Ibi) en plástico duro en los años 70. Escala 1/28.
GOZAN fue una empresa juguetera española nacida en 1948, con 50 años de historia y tristemente desaparecida (2009).
En la década de los 70 fabricaron modelos (camiones y coches) de gran éxito, que mantendrían en catálogo durante más de 20 años, adaptando la decoración a los gustos del momento.
El R-5 fue fabricado en 6 variantes con 6 colores distintos: naranja, verde, amarillo, blanco, rojo y azul. La matrícula del vehículo es A-9105-R. Estaba presentado en una cajita de cartón con dibujos del coche en sus diferentes colores.
La caja venía con el número de referencia 91.

El 5 español
"En el Salón del Automóvil de Barcelona, celebrado entre abril y mayo de 1972, FASA-Renault mostraba al 5 de próxima fabricación española como "prototipo especial". Contaba con el cambio en el piso como principal diferencia respecto a sus parientes franceses, modificación atribuida por la revista Autopista a los estudios de marketing que detectaban que "para el público español la palanca en el salpicadero tenía reminiscencias de vehículo super-utilitario".
A finales de octubre de ese año el Renault 5 nacido en Valladolid se daba a conocer a la prensa española en Lisboa. Sus llantas tenían un diseño específico (visto ya en Barcelona) mientras que el anagrama "950" en su trasera indicaba, como era sabido ya, que en nuestro país se fabricaba únicamente la versión más potente."

Renault 5
"El Renault 5, conocido popularmente como R-5 en su primera generación, y como Supercinco en la segunda, es un automóvil de turismo del segmento B producido por el fabricante francés Renault entre 1972 y 1996.
Fue fabricado principalmente en su país de origen, Francia; en Valladolid (1972-1984) y después Palencia (Supercinco), España; y en la planta de la empresa gubernamental Dina-Renault-Jeep en Ciudad Sahagún, México de 1975 a 1984. Casi 5,5 millones de unidades del Renault 5 fueron fabricadas."
(...)
El Renault 5 en España
"El primer modelo fabricado en España, en la factoría de Valladolid, fue el 950, basado en el TL francés, con motor de 956 cc.
A partir de 1974, la gama se desdobló en 950 y TL, únicamente en base al equipamiento.
Tras desaparecer el 950 poco después, en 1975 se unió a la gama el GTL, con motor de 1037 cc, sustituido más adelante por otro de 1108 cc.
También en 1975 se lanzó la versión semideportiva TS (Tourisme Sport), con motor de 1289 cc, 64cv y carburador Weber-Bressel de doble cuerpo, siendo entonces en cierto modo considerado como un compacto deportivo de lujo. Con esta versión, conocidos pilotos españoles como Carlos Sáinz o Jesús Puras se iniciaron en el mundo de los rallys.
La última versión lanzada al mercado fue el TX (sustituyendo al TS) y llevaba un motor de 1.397 cc, 63 cv y un carburador vertical Weber 32-DIR 100, de dos cuerpos."

Renault 5, el “Supercar”
"El Renault 5 aparece por primera vez en 1972, bajo la denominación de “Supercar”, en un anuncio hecho con la técnica del dibujo animado. El diseño moderno y original del coche, con sus formas redondeadas, suponen una verdadera revolución."
Versiones del Renault 5
- "El Renault 5 estuvo disponible inicialmente en dos versiones. R5-L con motor de 782 cm3 y 36 CV, el mismo que equipara el Renault 4. R5-TL, con motor de 956 cm3 y 47 CV, el mismo que el del Renault 8. El R5-TL se comercializaba con un equipamiento superior (limpiaparabrisas de dos velocidades, bandeja trasera y reposabrazos, entre otros refinamientos)."
- "En 1974 se comercializó una versión deportiva denominada R5-LS, con un motor de 1.289 cm3 y 64 CV DIN, con un equipamiento considerado de gama alta. Este modelo dispuso al año siguiente de asientos integrales."
- "En 1976 se comercializaron dos versiones.
Por una parte, la versión GTL, con la misma cilindrada del LS y con una potencia de 42 CV DIN. Este modelo estrenó las bandas de protección lateral realizadas en el mismo material que los paragolpes.
El otro modelo fue la gran revelación del año: el Renault 5 Alpine, que con su motor de 1.397 cm3 disponía de la nada desdeñable cifra de 90 CV de potencia. El R5 Alpine montaba un paragolpes delantero con faros antiniebla integrados y unas llantas especiales."
- "En 1977 se sustituyó el motor de la versión L por otro de 845 cm3 y 36 CV DIN. también por estas fechas, el Renault 5 Alpine fue equipado con las llantas de tres aperturas de otro modelo mítico, el Alpine A 310."
- "El Renault 5 automático apareció en 1978, con un motor de 1.300 cm3 de 55 CV y el peculiar techo de vinilo."
- "La versión de 5 puertas llega en 1979, junto con una remodelación de la parte más baja de la gama (L, TL y Société), a los que se muscula con un motor de 1.108 cm3 y 45 CV de potencia, además de incorporar un cuadro de instrumentos termo-moldeado y asientos nuevos."
- "Aunque tal vez 1979 pase a la historia de este modelo por la aparición de una auténtica bomba: el Renault 5 Turbo..."
- "Llegamos a la década de los 80, y en 1982 se comercializa el Renault 5 TX, una versión de lujo previa a las denominadas Baccara.
En este mismo año, el Renault 5 Alpine se equipa con un turbo Garret que traslada la potencia de los 93 a los 110 CV."
- "En 1984 todas las versiones base (TL, GTL, GTS y TSE) cambian su nombre por el de Lauréate, es el último año de producción en Francia y aparece el Supercinco, la segunda generación del Renault 5, modelo de nombre y aspecto similar, pero con una concepción distinta..."

Renault 5
"La Renault 5 est une automobile française, produite en deux générations distinctes.
Cet article concerne la première génération, qui a été produite en France à l'usine de Flins proche de Mantes dans le département des Yvelines, et à Valladolid (Espagne).
En janvier 1972, la marque investit le marché de la mini, ce qu'elle n'avait jamais fait auparavant. La Renault R5 fut désignée ainsi parce qu'elle était équipée d'un moteur de 5 chevaux fiscaux.
La Renault 5 va connaître un grand succès. En 1980, grâce à l'apport de sa version 5-portes lancée en juillet 1979, sa part du marché français des voitures neuves sera de 16 %. Elle est la voiture la plus vendue en France durant dix ans, de 1974 à 1983.
La Peugeot 205, qui lui ravira ensuite la première place du marché français, ne fera après pas mieux que 12,8 % en 1985. En 1972, la concurrente de la Renault 5 est la Peugeot 104."
(...)
"Le style dû à Michel Boué est le point fort de la Renault 5, les deux grandes portes sont sans poignées apparentes, allégeant la ligne.
La Renault 5 est la première voiture à être équipée de boucliers en polyester armé à la place des habituels pare-chocs chromés. Elle innove aussi en proposant un hayon arrière qui s'ouvre jusqu'au pare-chocs, pour la première fois sur une petite voiture, ce que tous les autres constructeurs copieront. Le coffre a une contenance de 270 dm3 et s'agrandit jusqu'à 900 dm3 quand la banquette arrière est rabattue.
La 5 hérite de la plate-forme, des suspensions à barres de torsion et des moteurs à arbre à cames latéral (782 à 1 397 cm3) de la Renault 4, ce qui permet un prix contenu. Le levier au tableau de bord est à commande directe car il passe au-dessus du moteur jusqu'à la boîte de vitesses montée longitudinalement à l'extrême avant.
En 1973, un levier de vitesses au plancher sera proposé sur la R5 TL."
(...)
La gamme
- "La gamme commence [1972] avec une version L qui reprend le moteur 4 CV de 782 cm3 (« moteur Billancourt ») de la Renault 4. Pour 1977, la Renault 5 L s'appellera simplement Renault 5 en recevant le « moteur Billancourt » 845 cm3 de la Renault 6."
- "La 5 TL propose le moteur 5 CV de 956 cm3 à cinq paliers issu de la Renault 8 (« moteur Cléon-Fonte »)... Clignotants avant blancs pour 1973 jusqu'en 1978... Pour 1979, les enjoliveurs de roue sont supprimés."
- "En avril 1974, apparaît la 5 LS (155 km/h), équipée d'un 1 289 cm3 développant 64 ch, de roues de style, d'un essuie-glace arrière et d'un échappement arrière (il est latéral sur les versions L et TL)... La 5 LS deviendra 5 TS dans la gamme 1975... Pour 1977, elle possèdera des vitres arrière entrouvrables."
- "En février 1976, la 5 GTL adopte le moteur 1 289 cm3 retravaillé pour consommer très peu d'essence (4,7 L/100 selon le constructeur). La 5 GTL se singularise par les bandeaux latéraux de protection en polyester prolongeant les pare-chocs, les roues de style et les feux de recul. Pour 1978, elle possèdera des vitres arrière entrouvrables.
La 5 GTL va devenir la plus vendue des Renault 5."
- "En mars 1976, est lancée la 5 Alpine qui atteint 175 km/h. Elle dispose d'un moteur 1 397 cm3 qui développe 93 ch et de la boîte de vitesses à cinq rapports de la Renault 16 TX.
La 5 Alpine est reconnaissable à sa décoration spécifique « A5 » sur les flancs, le hayon et le nez du capot, à ses pare-chocs noirs avec spoiler avant et projecteurs antibrouillard incorporés, à son rétroviseur extérieur en forme d'obus et à ses jantes en tôle de type Gordini..."
- En janvier 1978, la 5 Automatic 1300 s'équipe d'une boîte de vitesses automatique, d'un toit en vinyle noir (..,) de jantes de style, ainsi que de boucliers et de bandeaux latéraux de protection noirs. En février 1981, la cylindrée passe de 1 289 cm3 à 1 397 cm3."
- "Sur la base de la 5 TL, une 5 Société à deux places a existé, elle comportait des panneaux latéraux tôlés à l'arrière, rapidement remplacés en série par des vitres."
- "En juillet 1979, la Renault 5 est déclinée en variante cinq portes. Celles-ci sont identiques à celles de la Fasa-Renault Siete espagnole, une 5 à quatre portes avec une malle arrière et des pare-chocs chromés. Sur la cinq portes, la planche de bord, le volant et les sièges sont aussi nouveaux. Le moteur des 5 TL et 5 GTL passe à 1 108 cm3."
- "La Renault 5 à cinq portes va être une auto-école très populaire. Succédant à la Simca 1000, la 5 Auto-école se démarque de la 5 TL par ses bandeaux latéraux de protection et ses feux de recul supplémentaires."
- "À partir de septembre 1981, le carburateur de la 5 Alpine est aspiré par un turbocompresseur : la 5 Alpine Turbo (110 ch) dépasse 185 km/h. Elle reçoit des jantes spécifiques à ailettes. À partir de la fin 1983, le modèle pour la Suisse adopte une vanne EGR pour respecter les normes antipollution.
À partir de mars 1984, la 5 Alpine Turbo devient la 5 Lauréate Turbo."
- "En octobre 1981, une version luxueuse de la 5 TS à trois portes est proposée, elle s'appelle 5 TX. Elle est dotée d'une direction assistée, de lève-vitres électriques, d'un volant et d'un pommeau de levier de vitesse gainé de cuir, d'une banquette rabattable par moitié, d'un coffre entièrement moquetté et d'un pré-équipement radio.
Il existe aussi une 5 TX à boite automatique..."
- "Pour 1983, les boucliers anthracite sont généralisés."
- "La Renault 5, après neuf années consécutives en tête du marché français, de 1974 à 1983, terminera sa carrière fin 1984 sous le nom de 5 Lauréate comme version d'accès au côté de la nouvelle Supercinq.
Cette remplaçante n'osera pas s'écarter du style si réussi de la première version."

Two Men Who Escaped to Freedom, Including Their Own Narratives of Emancipation
By David W. Blight
NEW YORK TIMES
Freedom Just Ahead: The War Within the Civil War
By WILLIAM GRIMES, Published: December 5, 2007
The chaos of Civil War meant only one thing to America’s four million slaves: hope. With armies on the march, and the old social order crumbling, men like John Washington and Wallace Turnage seized the moment and made a break for freedom, issuing their own emancipation proclamations before the fact. They were “quiet heroes of a war within the war to destroy slavery,” as David W. Blight puts it in “A Slave No More.”
Both Washington and Turnage, near contemporaries, wrote vivid accounts of their lives as slaves and the bold bids for freedom that took them across Confederate lines and into the waiting arms of Union soldiers. Recently discovered, both texts have been reproduced by Mr. Blight as written, with misspellings and grammatical errors intact.
Mr. Blight, a professor of American history at Yale and the author of “Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory,” has also provided an extended preface that provides historical context, fills in biographical gaps and extends the life stories of both men past the Civil War, when their manuscripts break off abruptly, to their deaths in the early 20th century. Two remarkable lives, previously lost, emerge with startling clarity, largely through the words of the principal actors themselves.
Washington, born in 1838, grew up in Fredericksburg, Va., and stayed there, in servitude to the widow of his master, after being separated from his mother and four younger siblings at 12. Unlike Turnage, who labored on an Alabama plantation and suffered constant whippings, Washington lived a town life, running errands or enduring hours of enforced idleness and staring longingly out the window.
In 1861 he was hired out to a tobacco factory in Richmond and got his first glimpse of Confederate troops, so many, he wrote, “that it appeard to be an impossiability, to us, colored people, that they could ever be conquord.” Soon, though, he began hearing of slaves making their way to the Union lines and freedom. Once back in Fredericksburg, where he worked as a hotel steward and barkeep, he decided to join their number.
Washington’s narrative captures both turmoil and nervous excitement as Union forces closed in on Fredericksburg, bayonets glinting across the Rappahannock River, their movements eagerly watched by black residents. Washington, in a characteristically sardonic aside, notes: “No one could be seen on the street but the colored people. and every one of them seemed to be in the best of humors.”
In the confusion Washington escaped to the Union lines. “I told them I was most happy to see them all that I had been looking for them for a long time,” he writes. When a Union soldier asks if he wants to be free, Washington answers simply, “by all means.”
In Alabama, Turnage met his oppressors with open defiance. He fought with bullwhip-wielding overseers, suffered repeated whippings and beatings and lit out for freedom repeatedly. Running for miles across creeks and through fields, cleverly talking his way out of tight spots and, more than once, fighting off enraged dogs, Turnage, a mere teenager, evaded pursuers for weeks at a time, enduring extreme deprivation.
“I went as long as four days without anything to eat but one hickery nut that the squirrels did not get,” he writes of one escapade.
Among other things, Turnage’s testimony sheds light on the support network among slaves, nearly all more than willing to feed or conceal a runaway, or provide information on how to evade capture on the road ahead. “They gloried in my spunk,” Turnage writes of a group of slaves who hid him at one plantation.
His final flight, from Mobile to the Union ships anchored offshore, caps his thrilling tale. After nonchalantly walking straight through a Confederate camp and wading barefoot through snake-infested swamps, he reaches an impasse, with Confederate pickets behind him and a broad expanse of water ahead of him.
“It was death to go back and it was death to stay there and freedom was before me,” he writes. He pressed forward and, by luck, found a rickety little boat on the shore.
“I Now dreaded the gun, and handcuffs and pistols no more,” he writes of his moment of deliverance, when Yankee sailors plucked him from Mobile Bay. “Nor the blewing of horns and the running of hounds; nor the threats of death from the rebel’s authority. I could now speak my opinion to men of all grades and colors, and no one to question my right to speak.”
Washington made his way to Washington, where he and his wife, whom he took from Fredericksburg, rose to middle-class prosperity. He died in 1918.
Turnage worked, at various times, as a janitor, sign painter, watchman and glass blower in New York. Eventually he moved to Jersey City, where he died in 1916.
By that time, slavery and the war were distant memories. In their all-too-brief narratives, Washington and Turnage, as Mr. Blight notes, offer a precious commodity: “unfiltered access to the process and the moment of emancipation.”

1. Ogni parola di Dio è un’espressione della Sua indole
Hu Ke Città di Dezhou, Provincia dello Shandong
Ogniqualvolta vedevo queste parole pronunciate da Dio mi sentivo ansiosa: “In ogni frase che ho pronunciato è contenuta l’indole di Dio. Fareste bene a ponderare attentamente le Mie parole, e ne trarrete di certo grande profitto” (“È molto importante comprendere l’indole di Dio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Mi sentivo ansiosa perché capire l’indole di Dio è fondamentale per l’uomo, sia per la sua comprensione di Dio, sia nel suo cercare di amarLo e soddisfarLo. Ma quando mangiavo e bevevo delle parole di Dio, avevo sempre la sensazione che la Sua indole fosse troppo astratta e io non sapessi come comprenderla. Successivamente, attraverso la condivisione da parte del mio leader, ho appreso che avrei dovuto capire ciò che piace a Dio e ciò che Egli odia dalle Sue parole, e in tal modo arrivare a comprendere la Sua indole. Di conseguenza, ho provato a metterlo in pratica per qualche tempo e ho visto dei risultati. Tuttavia ero ancora perplessa riguardo alle parole di Dio, “In ogni frase che ho pronunciato è contenuta l’indole di Dio” e non avevo idea di come intenderle esattamente.
Un giorno ho letto queste parole in un sermone: “L’indole di Dio contiene molti aspetti. Essa contiene ciò che Dio ha ed è, le Sue riflessioni, le Sue idee, il Suo pensiero e la Sua saggezza. Essa contiene l’atteggiamento di Dio verso ogni genere di persona, come il Suo sentimento di misericordia e di premura, e ancor più la Sua ira verso la ribellione e la resistenza del genere umano. Poiché ognuna delle frasi di Dio contiene il Suo pensiero, la Sua saggezza e le Sue idee, poiché tutte contengono il contesto e la fonte delle Sue parole, poiché esse esprimono tutte naturalmente l’atteggiamento di Dio verso l’umanità, e non c’è una sola frase che sia priva di fondamento, per questo è un fatto molto naturale che ogni frase contenga l’indole di Dio. Ogni parola che gli esseri umani dicono esprime la loro indole della vita, dunque ogni parola di Dio non conterrà a maggior ragione la Sua indole? Ciò è facile da comprendere, ma come scoprirlo e conoscerlo non è così semplice come si possa immaginare. Se, quando si leggono le parole di Dio, non si cerca di ponderarle a sufficienza, non ci si sforza abbastanza o non si ha esperienza sufficiente, allora l’indole di Dio non sarà facile da percepire, e ancor meno da capire. Ciò che è necessario, quindi, è che l’uomo si plachi davanti a Dio, che metta interamente il suo cuore nelle Sue parole e che la lettura e il tentativo di ponderarle avvengano durante la preghiera
; allora tu giungerai lentamente a scoprire l’ordine di idee che sta dietro le parole di Dio. Questo è l’inizio dell’ingresso” (La condivisione del Fratello). Quando ho letto questa condivisione tutto mi è diventato chiaro. Mi sono resa conto che l’indole di Dio contiene molte cose: contiene ciò che Egli ha ed è, le Sue riflessioni e le Sue idee, il Suo pensiero e la Sua saggezza, così come il Suo atteggiamento verso ogni genere di persona, e così via. Inoltre, ciascuna delle frasi di Dio contiene il contesto e la fonte di ogni Sua parola, e non c’è una sola frase che sia priva di fondamento, e ogni singola cosa che Dio fa e ogni frase che Egli pronuncia sono una naturale espressione di tutto ciò che Egli è nella vita. La mia comprensione dell’indole di Dio, d’altro canto, era limitata solo a ciò che Egli ama e a ciò che Egli odia. Questo tipo di comprensione era troppo unilaterale e dunque non era in grado di raggiungere una conoscenza dell’indole di Dio partendo da ogni Sua singola frase. Oltre a questo ho capito anche che, se volevo comprendere l’indole di Dio da ogni Sua frase, dovevo placarmi dinanzi a Lui e compiere uno sforzo molto più grande per cercare di capire a fondo le Sue parole. Inoltre, avevo bisogno di pregare e di cercare la guida dinanzi a Dio, focalizzandomi sulla comprensione dello stato d’animo dietro alle parole che Egli aveva pronunciato, così come sul contesto e sulla fonte dietro alle Sue azioni.
Ringrazio Dio per l’illuminazione e la rivelazione che mi hanno permesso di rendermi conto di queste cose e, quindi, in seguito, ho iniziato a focalizzarmi sulla pratica e l’ingresso in questo aspetto. Un giorno ho letto un brano delle parole di Dio: “Se quest’opera sia importante o meno, dipende dai bisogni del genere umano, dalla realtà della sua depravazione, dalla gravità della disobbedienza di Satana e dal suo disturbo dell’opera. Il giusto, cioè colui che è all’altezza del compito, è stabilito in base alla natura della propria opera e all’importanza di quest’opera. Quando si tratta dell’importanza di quest’opera, in termini di quale metodo di lavoro adottare − opera compiuta direttamente dallo Spirito di Dio, opera compiuta dal Dio incarnato
, o opera compiuta attraverso l’uomo − la prima ad essere eliminata è l’opera compiuta attraverso l’uomo e, in base alla natura dell’opera e alla natura dell’opera dello Spirito rispetto a quella della carne, è infine stato stabilito che l’opera compiuta dalla carne è più benefica all’uomo dell’opera compiuta direttamente dallo Spirito, e offre più vantaggi. Questo è il pensiero di Dio, al momento di decidere se l’opera debba essere compiuta dallo Spirito o dalla carne” (“L’umanità corrotta ha maggiormente bisogno della salvezza del Dio incarnato” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Quando ho cercato con attenzione di comprendere questo brano, ho sentito di aver scoperto un grande dono. Le parole di Dio mostrano lo sviluppo del Suo pensiero in quel momento, mentre rifletteva su quale metodo utilizzare per l’opera degli ultimi giorni. Durante il corso del Suo pensiero, la prima cosa che Dio ha considerato è stata quale metodo usare che fosse di maggiore beneficio per l’uomo in quest’opera, quale fosse il modo migliore per raggiungere l’esito della salvezza dell’uomo e cosa fare per portare Satana ad accettare la sconfitta, vincendolo in tal modo e portando alla salvezza completa le persone che sono state così profondamente danneggiate. Durante l’intero processo di pensiero, Dio ha costantemente tenuto in considerazione l’uomo e mai i Propri interessi o la Propria incolumità. Dio sapeva chiaramente che la Sua incarnazione avrebbe patito molta sofferenza, ma ciò non è stato preso in esame quando si è trattato di salvare l’umanità. Invece, Egli ha scelto comunque il metodo del Dio che Si fa carne per compiere l’opera degli ultimi giorni, basandosi sulle necessità dell’umanità e sulla realtà della depravazione del genere umano. Egli corre un grande pericolo addentrandosi nella tana della tigre; Egli subisce la persecuzione selvaggia e la caccia del gran dragone rosso, sopporta gli abusi e la blasfemia delle varie religioni e confessioni e tollera la resistenza, la ribellione e l’incomprensione di quelli di noi che le seguono. Le ferite e gli attacchi inflitti al cuore di Dio e l’umiliazione che Egli sopporta sono veramente cose che nessuno può comprendere. Tutto ciò che Dio esprime e rivela è tutto quello che Egli è nella vita: la Sua dedizione disinteressata all’umanità e il Suo pagare il prezzo per essa. La grandezza di Dio e il Suo altruismo sono rivelati naturalmente nella Sua opera e in ogni Sua frase, e queste esprimono anche la grande misericordia e l’amore disinteressato di Dio. Il Suo amore per l’umanità non è solo parole vuote, ma un prezzo concreto che Egli paga. In quel momento, ho avuto una vivida percezione che Dio è davvero così grande e così amabile! Quindi, sebbene avessi letto queste parole di Dio in precedenza, non avevo mai capito il contesto dietro le parole che Cristo
aveva pronunciato o tutto ciò che esse rivelavano, né l’amore di Cristo per l’umanità. Solo in quel momento ho avuto un’autentica comprensione di queste parole di Dio: “In ogni frase che ho pronunciato è contenuta l’indole di Dio”.
Prima, poiché non avevo mai quietato il mio cuore o provato seriamente a capire le parole di Dio, avevo perso tante buone opportunità di comprenderLo, al punto che persino oggi ho ancora tante nozioni e fraintendimenti verso di Lui e sono ancora estraniata da Lui. Solo ora comprendo che, se desidero capire l’indole di Dio, devo provare seriamente a capire e a cercare la verità all’interno di ogni Sua frase. In questo modo trarrò certamente un grande beneficio. Da oggi in poi desidero concentrarmi sul porre più impegno nelle Sue parole, e cercare di diventare presto una persona che ha una certa comprensione di Dio.

Documenta From Wikipedia,
The Fridericianum during documenta (13)
documenta is an exhibition of contemporary art which takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. It was founded by artist, teacher and curator Arnold Bode in 1955 as part of the Bundesgartenschau (Federal Horticultural Show) which took place in Kassel at that time.[1] It was an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art, both banishing and repressing the cultural darkness of Nazism.[2] This first documenta featured many artists who are generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art (such as Picasso and Kandinsky). The more recent documentas feature art from all continents; nonetheless most of it is site-specific.
Every documenta is limited to 100 days of exhibition, which is why it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days".[3] Documenta is not a selling exhibition. It rarely coincides with the three other major art world events: the Venice Biennale, Art Basel and Skulptur Projekte Münster, but in 2017, all four were open simultaneously.
Etymology of documenta
The name of the exhibition is an invented word. The term is supposed to demonstrate the intention of every exhibition (in particular of the first documenta in 1955) to be a documentation of modern art which was not available for the German public during the Nazi era. Rumour spread from those close to Arnold Bode that it was relevant for the coinage of the term that the Latin word documentum could be separated into docere (Latin for teach) and mens (Latin for intellect) and therefore thought it to be a good word to describe the intention and the demand of the documenta.[4]
Each edition of documenta has commissioned its own visual identity, most of which have conformed to the typographic style of solely using lowercase letters, which originated at the Bauhaus.[5]
History
Stadtverwaldung by Joseph Beuys, oaktree in front of the museum Fridericianum, documenta 7
Art professor and designer Arnold Bode from Kassel was the initiator of the first documenta. Originally planned as a secondary event to accompany the Bundesgartenschau, this attracted more than 130,000 visitors in 1955. The exhibition centred less on "contemporary art“, that is art made after 1945: instead, Bode wanted to show the public works which had been known as "Entartete Kunst" in Germany during the Nazi era: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Blauer Reiter, Futurism and Pittura Metafisica. Therefore, abstract art, in particular the abstract paintings of the 1920s and 1930s, was the focus of interest in this exhibition.
Over time, the focus shifted to contemporary art. At first, the show was limited to works from Europe, but soon covered works by artists from the Americas, Africa and Asia. 4. documenta, the first ever to turn a profit, featured a selection of Pop Art, Minimal Art, and Kinetic Art.[6] Adopting the theme of Questioning Reality – Pictorial Worlds Today, the 1972 documenta radically redefined what could be considered art by featuring minimal and conceptual art, marking a turning point in the public acceptance of those styles.[7] Also, it devoted a large section to the work of Adolf Wolfli, the great Swiss outsider, then unknown. Joseph Beuys performed repeatedly under the auspices of his utopian Organization for Direct Democracy.[8] Additionally, the 1987 documenta show signaled another important shift with the elevation of design to the realm of art – showing an openness to postmodern design.[9] Certain key political dates for wide-reaching social and cultural upheavals, such as 1945, 1968 or 1976/77, became chronological markers of documenta X (1997), along which art's political, social, cultural and aesthetic exploratory functions were traced.[10] Documenta11 was organized around themes like migration, urbanization and the post-colonial experience,[11] with documentary photography, film and video as well as works from far-flung locales holding the spotlight.[7] In 2012, documenta (13) was described as "[a]rdently feminist, global and multimedia in approach and including works by dead artists and selected bits of ancient art".[12]
Criticism
documenta typically gives its artists at least two years to conceive and produce their projects, so the works are often elaborate and intellectually complex.[13] However, the participants are often not publicised before the very opening of the exhibition. At documenta (13), the official list of artists was not released until the day the show opened.[14] Even though curators have often claimed to have gone outside the art market in their selection, participants have always included established artists. In the documenta (13), for example, art critic Jerry Saltz identified more than a third of the artists represented by the renowned Marian Goodman Gallery in the show.[14]
Directors
The first four documentas, organized by Arnold Bode, established the exhibition's international credentials. Since the fifth documenta (1972), a new artistic director has been named for each documenta exhibition by a committee of experts. Documenta 8 was put together in two years instead of the usual five. The original directors, Edy de Wilde and Harald Szeemann, were unable to get along and stepped down. They were replaced by Manfred Schneckenburger, Edward F. Fry, Wulf Herzogenrath, Armin Zweite, and Vittorio Fagone.[15] Coosje van Bruggen helped select artists for documenta 7, the 1982 edition. documenta IX's team of curators consisted of Jan Hoet, Piero Luigi Tazzi, Denys Zacharopoulos, and Bart de Baere.[16] For documenta X Catherine David was chosen as the first woman and the first non-German speaker to hold the post. It is also the first and unique time that its website Documenta x was conceived by a curator (swiss curator Simon Lamunière) as a part of the exhibition. The first non-European director was Okwui Enwezor for Documenta11.[17]

2012's edition was organized around a central node, the trans-Atlantic melding of two distinct individuals who first encountered each other in the "money-soaked deserts of the United Arab Emirates". As an organizing principle it is simultaneously a commentary on the romantic potentials of globalization and also a critique of how digital platforms can complicate or interrogate the nature of such relationships. Curatorial agents refer to the concept as possessing a "fricative potential for productive awkwardness," wherein a twosome is formed for the purposes of future exploration.[23]
Venues
documenta is held in different venues in Kassel. Since 1955, the fixed venue has been the Fridericianum. The documenta-Halle was built in 1992 for documenta IX and now houses some of the exhibitions. Other venues used for documenta have included the Karlsaue park, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, the Neue Galerie, the Ottoneum, and the Kulturzentrum Schlachthof. Though Okwui Enezor notably tried to subvert the euro-centric approach documenta had taken, he instigated a series of five platforms before the Documenta11 in Vienna, Berlin, New Delhi, St Lucia, and Lagos, in an attempt to take documenta into a new post-colonial, borderless space, from which experimental cultures could emerge. documenta 12 occupied five locations, including the Fridericianum, the Wilhelmshöhe castle park and the specially constructed "Aue-Pavillon", or meadow pavilion, designed by French firm Lacaton et Vassal.[24] At documenta (13) (2012), about a fifth of the works were unveiled in places like Kabul, Afghanistan, and Banff, Canada.[13]
There are also a number of works that are usually presented outside, most notably in Friedrichsplatz, in front of the Fridericianum, and the Karlsaue park. To handle the number of artworks at documenta IX, five connected temporary "trailers" in glass and corrugated metal were built in the Karlsaue.[25] For documenta (13), French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal constructed the temporary "Aue-Pavillon" in the park.
Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus Rucker und Co.
A few of the works exhibited at various documentas remained as purchases in Kassel museums. They include 7000 Eichen by Joseph Beuys; Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus-Rucker-Co; Laserscape Kassel (1977) by Horst H. Baumann; Traumschiff Tante Olga (1977) by Anatol Herzfeld; Vertikaler Erdkilometer by Walter De Maria; Spitzhacke (1982) by Claes Oldenburg; Man walking to the sky (1992) by Jonathan Borofsky; and Fremde by Thomas Schütte (one part of the sculptures are installed on Rotes Palais at Friedrichsplatz, the other on the roof of the Concert Hall in Lübeck).
documenta archive
The extensive volume of material that is regularly generated on the occasion of this exhibition prompted Arnold Bode to create an archive in 1961. The heart of the archive’s collection comes from the files and materials of the documenta organization. A continually expanding video and image archive is also part of the collection as are the independently organized bequests of Arnold Bode and artist Harry Kramer.
Management
Visitors
In 1992, on the occasion of documenta IX, for the first time in the history of the documenta, more than half a million people traveled to Kassel.[26] The 2002 edition of documenta attracted 650,000 visitors, more than triple Kassel's population.[27] In 2007, documenta 12 drew 754,000 paying visitors, with more than one-third of the visitors coming from abroad and guests from neighboring Netherlands, France, Belgium and Austria among the most numerous.[28] In 2012, documenta (13) had 904,992 visitors.[21]

lumbung
Short concept by ruangrupa for documenta 15
"We want to create a globally oriented, cooperative, interdisciplinary art and culture platform that will remain effective beyond the 100 days of documenta fifteen. Our curatorial approach aims at a different kind of collaborative model of resource use—economically, but also in terms of ideas, knowledge, programs, and innovation."
ruangrupa’s central curatorial approach for documenta fifteen is based on the principles of collectivity, resource building, and equal sharing. They aim to appeal not just to an art audience but to a variety of communities, and to promote local commitment and participation. Their approach is based on an international network of local, community-based organizations from the art and other cultural contexts and can be outlined by the Indonesian term lumbung. lumbung, directly translatable as “rice barn,” is a collective pot or accumulation system used in rural areas of Indonesia, where crops produced by a community are stored as a future shared common resource and distributed according to jointly determind criteria. Using lumbung as a model, documenta fifteen is a collective resource pot, operating under the logics of the commons. It is an agglomeration of ideas, stories, (wo)manpower, time, and other shareable resources. At the center of lumbung is the imagination and the building of these collective, shared resources into new models of sustainable ideas and cultural practices. This will be fostered by residencies, assemblies, public activities, and the development of tools.
Interdisciplinarity is key in this process. It is where art meets activism, management, and networking to gather support, understand environments, and identify local resources. These elements then create actions and spaces, intertwine social relations and transactions; they slowly grow and organically find a public form. This is a strategy “to live in and with society.” It imagines the relations an art institution has with its community by being an active constituent of it. Strategies are then developed based on proximity and shared desires.
The main principles of the process are:
• Providing space to gather and explore ideas
• Collective decision making
• Non-centralization
• Playing between formalities and informalities
• Practicing assembly and meeting points
• Architectural awareness
• Being spatially active to promote conversation
• A melting pot for and from everyone’s thoughts, energies, and ideas

Opened for rail service on August 1, 1888
This passenger depot, called the Hopkins Avenue Station, was the only one in Norwood not built entirely by a railroad company (although the "Northern" may have placed a platform there previously, and furnished some of the materials and labor for the depot construction).
The building provided a much needed station — especially during bad weather — on the Cincinnati, Lebanon & Northern Railroad for the residents between the Ivanhoe and Smith Road Stations. The building was also used for community activities and businesses. Today, it is the only remaining of the old passenger stations.
Saturday, June 9, 1888: A Depot for Norwood
(Special by Telegraph to the Times-Star)
"Columbus, O., June 9–The Hopkins Avenue Depot Company, of Norwood, Hamilton County, organized for the purpose of erecting a depot on Hopkins avenue, at the Cincinnati, Lebanon & Northern Railroad Crossing, with a capital stock of $4,000, was incorporated to-day by G. Edward Mills, C. E. Page, Robert Leslie, Geo. H. Bonte, C. F. Husser, Jackson Slane and D. H. Whitehead."
Cincinnati, Lebanon &Northern Railroad - Hopkins Avenue Depot
The Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern Railway (CL&N) was a local passenger and freight-carrying railroad in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Ohio, connecting Cincinnati to Dayton via Lebanon.
It was built in the late 19th century to give the town of Lebanon and Warren County better transportation facilities. The railroad was locally known as the "Highland Route", since it followed the ridge between the Little and Great Miami rivers, and was the only line not affected by floods such as the Great Dayton Flood of 1913.
The company went through multiple bankruptcies, both before and after its 1881 completion, until the Pennsylvania Railroad gained control in 1896 and leased it in 1921. Except for several years in the mid-1880s, when the line was under control of the narrow-gauge Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad, it was not a major line, in part due to its steep approach to downtown Cincinnati. For this reason, portions of the line have been abandoned, beginning in 1952 with a segment north of Lebanon.
Passenger service was eliminated entirely in 1934. Conrail, the Pennsylvania Railroad's successor, sold the remaining trackage in the 1980s to the Indiana and Ohio Railway, a short line now owned by RailAmerica. That company continues to provide local freight service on the ex-CL&N, and the Lebanon Mason Monroe Railroad operates tourist trains on a portion of the line near Lebanon.
Double tracks initially stretched from Court Street to near Fredonia Avenue, where the 1.25-mile (2.01 km) Avondale Branch split for the Cincinnati Zoo. When the line was converted to standard gauge in 1894, the tunnel and McMillan Street underpass were not wide enough for a double-track line, yet two standard-gauge tracks were laid side-by-side. After an accident in 1916, the tracks were relaid as a gauntlet track. The trestles were rebuilt as single-track in 1888 and 1889, after which double track only extended from Eden Park Drive to Avondale.
Due to increased passenger traffic, the line was re-widened not only south to Court Street but also north to Norwood from 1902 to 1904, once the valley had been filled in. Beyond Avondale, the CL&N descended through Idlewild, where two Norfolk and Western Railway lines diverged—the Cincinnati and Eastern Railway east to Portsmouth and the Cincinnati Connecting Belt Railroad northwest to a junction near Elmwood Place. The railway began to climb again at East Norwood, where it crossed the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad (Baltimore and Ohio Railroad), reaching the flat highlands at Deer Park. In the late 1880s, the CL&N, with its frequent commuter service, contributed to the development of suburbs along its line including Idlewild, East Norwood, Silverton, Deer Park, and Hazelwood.
At Hopkins Avenue in Norwood, commuters unsatisfied with the bare platform built by the railroad company raised $1500 to build a station building, which opened on August 1, 1888, and was owned by the Hopkins Avenue Depot Company until service ended in the 1930s. It was later used as a gas station, and a chiropractic office.

Documenta From Wikipedia,
The Fridericianum during documenta (13)
documenta is an exhibition of contemporary art which takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. It was founded by artist, teacher and curator Arnold Bode in 1955 as part of the Bundesgartenschau (Federal Horticultural Show) which took place in Kassel at that time.[1] It was an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art, both banishing and repressing the cultural darkness of Nazism.[2] This first documenta featured many artists who are generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art (such as Picasso and Kandinsky). The more recent documentas feature art from all continents; nonetheless most of it is site-specific.
Every documenta is limited to 100 days of exhibition, which is why it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days".[3] Documenta is not a selling exhibition. It rarely coincides with the three other major art world events: the Venice Biennale, Art Basel and Skulptur Projekte Münster, but in 2017, all four were open simultaneously.
Etymology of documenta
The name of the exhibition is an invented word. The term is supposed to demonstrate the intention of every exhibition (in particular of the first documenta in 1955) to be a documentation of modern art which was not available for the German public during the Nazi era. Rumour spread from those close to Arnold Bode that it was relevant for the coinage of the term that the Latin word documentum could be separated into docere (Latin for teach) and mens (Latin for intellect) and therefore thought it to be a good word to describe the intention and the demand of the documenta.[4]
Each edition of documenta has commissioned its own visual identity, most of which have conformed to the typographic style of solely using lowercase letters, which originated at the Bauhaus.[5]
History
Stadtverwaldung by Joseph Beuys, oaktree in front of the museum Fridericianum, documenta 7
Art professor and designer Arnold Bode from Kassel was the initiator of the first documenta. Originally planned as a secondary event to accompany the Bundesgartenschau, this attracted more than 130,000 visitors in 1955. The exhibition centred less on "contemporary art“, that is art made after 1945: instead, Bode wanted to show the public works which had been known as "Entartete Kunst" in Germany during the Nazi era: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Blauer Reiter, Futurism and Pittura Metafisica. Therefore, abstract art, in particular the abstract paintings of the 1920s and 1930s, was the focus of interest in this exhibition.
Over time, the focus shifted to contemporary art. At first, the show was limited to works from Europe, but soon covered works by artists from the Americas, Africa and Asia. 4. documenta, the first ever to turn a profit, featured a selection of Pop Art, Minimal Art, and Kinetic Art.[6] Adopting the theme of Questioning Reality – Pictorial Worlds Today, the 1972 documenta radically redefined what could be considered art by featuring minimal and conceptual art, marking a turning point in the public acceptance of those styles.[7] Also, it devoted a large section to the work of Adolf Wolfli, the great Swiss outsider, then unknown. Joseph Beuys performed repeatedly under the auspices of his utopian Organization for Direct Democracy.[8] Additionally, the 1987 documenta show signaled another important shift with the elevation of design to the realm of art – showing an openness to postmodern design.[9] Certain key political dates for wide-reaching social and cultural upheavals, such as 1945, 1968 or 1976/77, became chronological markers of documenta X (1997), along which art's political, social, cultural and aesthetic exploratory functions were traced.[10] Documenta11 was organized around themes like migration, urbanization and the post-colonial experience,[11] with documentary photography, film and video as well as works from far-flung locales holding the spotlight.[7] In 2012, documenta (13) was described as "[a]rdently feminist, global and multimedia in approach and including works by dead artists and selected bits of ancient art".[12]
Criticism
documenta typically gives its artists at least two years to conceive and produce their projects, so the works are often elaborate and intellectually complex.[13] However, the participants are often not publicised before the very opening of the exhibition. At documenta (13), the official list of artists was not released until the day the show opened.[14] Even though curators have often claimed to have gone outside the art market in their selection, participants have always included established artists. In the documenta (13), for example, art critic Jerry Saltz identified more than a third of the artists represented by the renowned Marian Goodman Gallery in the show.[14]
Directors
The first four documentas, organized by Arnold Bode, established the exhibition's international credentials. Since the fifth documenta (1972), a new artistic director has been named for each documenta exhibition by a committee of experts. Documenta 8 was put together in two years instead of the usual five. The original directors, Edy de Wilde and Harald Szeemann, were unable to get along and stepped down. They were replaced by Manfred Schneckenburger, Edward F. Fry, Wulf Herzogenrath, Armin Zweite, and Vittorio Fagone.[15] Coosje van Bruggen helped select artists for documenta 7, the 1982 edition. documenta IX's team of curators consisted of Jan Hoet, Piero Luigi Tazzi, Denys Zacharopoulos, and Bart de Baere.[16] For documenta X Catherine David was chosen as the first woman and the first non-German speaker to hold the post. It is also the first and unique time that its website Documenta x was conceived by a curator (swiss curator Simon Lamunière) as a part of the exhibition. The first non-European director was Okwui Enwezor for Documenta11.[17]

2012's edition was organized around a central node, the trans-Atlantic melding of two distinct individuals who first encountered each other in the "money-soaked deserts of the United Arab Emirates". As an organizing principle it is simultaneously a commentary on the romantic potentials of globalization and also a critique of how digital platforms can complicate or interrogate the nature of such relationships. Curatorial agents refer to the concept as possessing a "fricative potential for productive awkwardness," wherein a twosome is formed for the purposes of future exploration.[23]
Venues
documenta is held in different venues in Kassel. Since 1955, the fixed venue has been the Fridericianum. The documenta-Halle was built in 1992 for documenta IX and now houses some of the exhibitions. Other venues used for documenta have included the Karlsaue park, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, the Neue Galerie, the Ottoneum, and the Kulturzentrum Schlachthof. Though Okwui Enezor notably tried to subvert the euro-centric approach documenta had taken, he instigated a series of five platforms before the Documenta11 in Vienna, Berlin, New Delhi, St Lucia, and Lagos, in an attempt to take documenta into a new post-colonial, borderless space, from which experimental cultures could emerge. documenta 12 occupied five locations, including the Fridericianum, the Wilhelmshöhe castle park and the specially constructed "Aue-Pavillon", or meadow pavilion, designed by French firm Lacaton et Vassal.[24] At documenta (13) (2012), about a fifth of the works were unveiled in places like Kabul, Afghanistan, and Banff, Canada.[13]
There are also a number of works that are usually presented outside, most notably in Friedrichsplatz, in front of the Fridericianum, and the Karlsaue park. To handle the number of artworks at documenta IX, five connected temporary "trailers" in glass and corrugated metal were built in the Karlsaue.[25] For documenta (13), French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal constructed the temporary "Aue-Pavillon" in the park.
Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus Rucker und Co.
A few of the works exhibited at various documentas remained as purchases in Kassel museums. They include 7000 Eichen by Joseph Beuys; Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus-Rucker-Co; Laserscape Kassel (1977) by Horst H. Baumann; Traumschiff Tante Olga (1977) by Anatol Herzfeld; Vertikaler Erdkilometer by Walter De Maria; Spitzhacke (1982) by Claes Oldenburg; Man walking to the sky (1992) by Jonathan Borofsky; and Fremde by Thomas Schütte (one part of the sculptures are installed on Rotes Palais at Friedrichsplatz, the other on the roof of the Concert Hall in Lübeck).
documenta archive
The extensive volume of material that is regularly generated on the occasion of this exhibition prompted Arnold Bode to create an archive in 1961. The heart of the archive’s collection comes from the files and materials of the documenta organization. A continually expanding video and image archive is also part of the collection as are the independently organized bequests of Arnold Bode and artist Harry Kramer.
Management
Visitors
In 1992, on the occasion of documenta IX, for the first time in the history of the documenta, more than half a million people traveled to Kassel.[26] The 2002 edition of documenta attracted 650,000 visitors, more than triple Kassel's population.[27] In 2007, documenta 12 drew 754,000 paying visitors, with more than one-third of the visitors coming from abroad and guests from neighboring Netherlands, France, Belgium and Austria among the most numerous.[28] In 2012, documenta (13) had 904,992 visitors.[21]

Each edition of documenta has commissioned its own visual identity, most of which have conformed to the typographic style of solely using lowercase letters, which originated at the Bauhaus.[5]
History
Stadtverwaldung by Joseph Beuys, oaktree in front of the museum Fridericianum, documenta 7
Art professor and designer Arnold Bode from Kassel was the initiator of the first documenta. Originally planned as a secondary event to accompany the Bundesgartenschau, this attracted more than 130,000 visitors in 1955. The exhibition centred less on "contemporary art“, that is art made after 1945: instead, Bode wanted to show the public works which had been known as "Entartete Kunst" in Germany during the Nazi era: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Blauer Reiter, Futurism and Pittura Metafisica. Therefore, abstract art, in particular the abstract paintings of the 1920s and 1930s, was the focus of interest in this exhibition.
Over time, the focus shifted to contemporary art. At first, the show was limited to works from Europe, but soon covered works by artists from the Americas, Africa and Asia. 4. documenta, the first ever to turn a profit, featured a selection of Pop Art, Minimal Art, and Kinetic Art.[6] Adopting the theme of Questioning Reality – Pictorial Worlds Today, the 1972 documenta radically redefined what could be considered art by featuring minimal and conceptual art, marking a turning point in the public acceptance of those styles.[7] Also, it devoted a large section to the work of Adolf Wolfli, the great Swiss outsider, then unknown. Joseph Beuys performed repeatedly under the auspices of his utopian Organization for Direct Democracy.[8] Additionally, the 1987 documenta show signaled another important shift with the elevation of design to the realm of art – showing an openness to postmodern design.[9] Certain key political dates for wide-reaching social and cultural upheavals, such as 1945, 1968 or 1976/77, became chronological markers of documenta X (1997), along which art's political, social, cultural and aesthetic exploratory functions were traced.[10] Documenta11 was organized around themes like migration, urbanization and the post-colonial experience,[11] with documentary photography, film and video as well as works from far-flung locales holding the spotlight.[7] In 2012, documenta (13) was described as "[a]rdently feminist, global and multimedia in approach and including works by dead artists and selected bits of ancient art".[12]
Criticism
documenta typically gives its artists at least two years to conceive and produce their projects, so the works are often elaborate and intellectually complex.[13] However, the participants are often not publicised before the very opening of the exhibition. At documenta (13), the official list of artists was not released until the day the show opened.[14] Even though curators have often claimed to have gone outside the art market in their selection, participants have always included established artists. In the documenta (13), for example, art critic Jerry Saltz identified more than a third of the artists represented by the renowned Marian Goodman Gallery in the show.[14]
Directors
The first four documentas, organized by Arnold Bode, established the exhibition's international credentials. Since the fifth documenta (1972), a new artistic director has been named for each documenta exhibition by a committee of experts. Documenta 8 was put together in two years instead of the usual five. The original directors, Edy de Wilde and Harald Szeemann, were unable to get along and stepped down. They were replaced by Manfred Schneckenburger, Edward F. Fry, Wulf Herzogenrath, Armin Zweite, and Vittorio Fagone.[15] Coosje van Bruggen helped select artists for documenta 7, the 1982 edition. documenta IX's team of curators consisted of Jan Hoet, Piero Luigi Tazzi, Denys Zacharopoulos, and Bart de Baere.[16] For documenta X Catherine David was chosen as the first woman and the first non-German speaker to hold the post. It is also the first and unique time that its website Documenta x was conceived by a curator (swiss curator Simon Lamunière) as a part of the exhibition. The first non-European director was Okwui Enwezor for Documenta11.[17]

2012's edition was organized around a central node, the trans-Atlantic melding of two distinct individuals who first encountered each other in the "money-soaked deserts of the United Arab Emirates". As an organizing principle it is simultaneously a commentary on the romantic potentials of globalization and also a critique of how digital platforms can complicate or interrogate the nature of such relationships. Curatorial agents refer to the concept as possessing a "fricative potential for productive awkwardness," wherein a twosome is formed for the purposes of future exploration.[23]
Venues
documenta is held in different venues in Kassel. Since 1955, the fixed venue has been the Fridericianum. The documenta-Halle was built in 1992 for documenta IX and now houses some of the exhibitions. Other venues used for documenta have included the Karlsaue park, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, the Neue Galerie, the Ottoneum, and the Kulturzentrum Schlachthof. Though Okwui Enezor notably tried to subvert the euro-centric approach documenta had taken, he instigated a series of five platforms before the Documenta11 in Vienna, Berlin, New Delhi, St Lucia, and Lagos, in an attempt to take documenta into a new post-colonial, borderless space, from which experimental cultures could emerge. documenta 12 occupied five locations, including the Fridericianum, the Wilhelmshöhe castle park and the specially constructed "Aue-Pavillon", or meadow pavilion, designed by French firm Lacaton et Vassal.[24] At documenta (13) (2012), about a fifth of the works were unveiled in places like Kabul, Afghanistan, and Banff, Canada.[13]
There are also a number of works that are usually presented outside, most notably in Friedrichsplatz, in front of the Fridericianum, and the Karlsaue park. To handle the number of artworks at documenta IX, five connected temporary "trailers" in glass and corrugated metal were built in the Karlsaue.[25] For documenta (13), French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal constructed the temporary "Aue-Pavillon" in the park.
Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus Rucker und Co.
A few of the works exhibited at various documentas remained as purchases in Kassel museums. They include 7000 Eichen by Joseph Beuys; Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus-Rucker-Co; Laserscape Kassel (1977) by Horst H. Baumann; Traumschiff Tante Olga (1977) by Anatol Herzfeld; Vertikaler Erdkilometer by Walter De Maria; Spitzhacke (1982) by Claes Oldenburg; Man walking to the sky (1992) by Jonathan Borofsky; and Fremde by Thomas Schütte (one part of the sculptures are installed on Rotes Palais at Friedrichsplatz, the other on the roof of the Concert Hall in Lübeck).
documenta archive
The extensive volume of material that is regularly generated on the occasion of this exhibition prompted Arnold Bode to create an archive in 1961. The heart of the archive’s collection comes from the files and materials of the documenta organization. A continually expanding video and image archive is also part of the collection as are the independently organized bequests of Arnold Bode and artist Harry Kramer.
Management
Visitors
In 1992, on the occasion of documenta IX, for the first time in the history of the documenta, more than half a million people traveled to Kassel.[26] The 2002 edition of documenta attracted 650,000 visitors, more than triple Kassel's population.[27] In 2007, documenta 12 drew 754,000 paying visitors, with more than one-third of the visitors coming from abroad and guests from neighboring Netherlands, France, Belgium and Austria among the most numerous.[28] In 2012, documenta (13) had 904,992 visitors.[21]

lumbung
Short concept by ruangrupa for documenta 15
"We want to create a globally oriented, cooperative, interdisciplinary art and culture platform that will remain effective beyond the 100 days of documenta fifteen. Our curatorial approach aims at a different kind of collaborative model of resource use—economically, but also in terms of ideas, knowledge, programs, and innovation."
ruangrupa’s central curatorial approach for documenta fifteen is based on the principles of collectivity, resource building, and equal sharing. They aim to appeal not just to an art audience but to a variety of communities, and to promote local commitment and participation. Their approach is based on an international network of local, community-based organizations from the art and other cultural contexts and can be outlined by the Indonesian term lumbung. lumbung, directly translatable as “rice barn,” is a collective pot or accumulation system used in rural areas of Indonesia, where crops produced by a community are stored as a future shared common resource and distributed according to jointly determind criteria. Using lumbung as a model, documenta fifteen is a collective resource pot, operating under the logics of the commons. It is an agglomeration of ideas, stories, (wo)manpower, time, and other shareable resources. At the center of lumbung is the imagination and the building of these collective, shared resources into new models of sustainable ideas and cultural practices. This will be fostered by residencies, assemblies, public activities, and the development of tools.
Interdisciplinarity is key in this process. It is where art meets activism, management, and networking to gather support, understand environments, and identify local resources. These elements then create actions and spaces, intertwine social relations and transactions; they slowly grow and organically find a public form. This is a strategy “to live in and with society.” It imagines the relations an art institution has with its community by being an active constituent of it. Strategies are then developed based on proximity and shared desires.
The main principles of the process are:
• Providing space to gather and explore ideas
• Collective decision making
• Non-centralization
• Playing between formalities and informalities
• Practicing assembly and meeting points
• Architectural awareness
• Being spatially active to promote conversation
• A melting pot for and from everyone’s thoughts, energies, and ideas

Documenta From Wikipedia,
The Fridericianum during documenta (13)
documenta is an exhibition of contemporary art which takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. It was founded by artist, teacher and curator Arnold Bode in 1955 as part of the Bundesgartenschau (Federal Horticultural Show) which took place in Kassel at that time.[1] It was an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art, both banishing and repressing the cultural darkness of Nazism.[2] This first documenta featured many artists who are generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art (such as Picasso and Kandinsky). The more recent documentas feature art from all continents; nonetheless most of it is site-specific.
Every documenta is limited to 100 days of exhibition, which is why it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days".[3] Documenta is not a selling exhibition. It rarely coincides with the three other major art world events: the Venice Biennale, Art Basel and Skulptur Projekte Münster, but in 2017, all four were open simultaneously.
Etymology of documenta
The name of the exhibition is an invented word. The term is supposed to demonstrate the intention of every exhibition (in particular of the first documenta in 1955) to be a documentation of modern art which was not available for the German public during the Nazi era. Rumour spread from those close to Arnold Bode that it was relevant for the coinage of the term that the Latin word documentum could be separated into docere (Latin for teach) and mens (Latin for intellect) and therefore thought it to be a good word to describe the intention and the demand of the documenta.[4]
Each edition of documenta has commissioned its own visual identity, most of which have conformed to the typographic style of solely using lowercase letters, which originated at the Bauhaus.[5]
History
Stadtverwaldung by Joseph Beuys, oaktree in front of the museum Fridericianum, documenta 7
Art professor and designer Arnold Bode from Kassel was the initiator of the first documenta. Originally planned as a secondary event to accompany the Bundesgartenschau, this attracted more than 130,000 visitors in 1955. The exhibition centred less on "contemporary art“, that is art made after 1945: instead, Bode wanted to show the public works which had been known as "Entartete Kunst" in Germany during the Nazi era: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Blauer Reiter, Futurism and Pittura Metafisica. Therefore, abstract art, in particular the abstract paintings of the 1920s and 1930s, was the focus of interest in this exhibition.

Other venues used for documenta have included the Karlsaue park, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, the Neue Galerie, the Ottoneum, and the Kulturzentrum Schlachthof. Though Okwui Enezor notably tried to subvert the euro-centric approach documenta had taken, he instigated a series of five platforms before the Documenta11 in Vienna, Berlin, New Delhi, St Lucia, and Lagos, in an attempt to take documenta into a new post-colonial, borderless space, from which experimental cultures could emerge. documenta 12 occupied five locations, including the Fridericianum, the Wilhelmshöhe castle park and the specially constructed "Aue-Pavillon", or meadow pavilion, designed by French firm Lacaton et Vassal.[24] At documenta (13) (2012), about a fifth of the works were unveiled in places like Kabul, Afghanistan, and Banff, Canada.[13]
There are also a number of works that are usually presented outside, most notably in Friedrichsplatz, in front of the Fridericianum, and the Karlsaue park. To handle the number of artworks at documenta IX, five connected temporary "trailers" in glass and corrugated metal were built in the Karlsaue.[25] For documenta (13), French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal constructed the temporary "Aue-Pavillon" in the park.
Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus Rucker und Co.
A few of the works exhibited at various documentas remained as purchases in Kassel museums. They include 7000 Eichen by Joseph Beuys; Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus-Rucker-Co; Laserscape Kassel (1977) by Horst H. Baumann; Traumschiff Tante Olga (1977) by Anatol Herzfeld; Vertikaler Erdkilometer by Walter De Maria; Spitzhacke (1982) by Claes Oldenburg; Man walking to the sky (1992) by Jonathan Borofsky; and Fremde by Thomas Schütte (one part of the sculptures are installed on Rotes Palais at Friedrichsplatz, the other on the roof of the Concert Hall in Lübeck).
documenta archive
The extensive volume of material that is regularly generated on the occasion of this exhibition prompted Arnold Bode to create an archive in 1961. The heart of the archive’s collection comes from the files and materials of the documenta organization. A continually expanding video and image archive is also part of the collection as are the independently organized bequests of Arnold Bode and artist Harry Kramer.
Management
Visitors
In 1992, on the occasion of documenta IX, for the first time in the history of the documenta, more than half a million people traveled to Kassel.[26] The 2002 edition of documenta attracted 650,000 visitors, more than triple Kassel's population.[27] In 2007, documenta 12 drew 754,000 paying visitors, with more than one-third of the visitors coming from abroad and guests from neighboring Netherlands, France, Belgium and Austria among the most numerous.[28] In 2012, documenta (13) had 904,992 visitors.[21]

lumbung
Short concept by ruangrupa for documenta 15
"We want to create a globally oriented, cooperative, interdisciplinary art and culture platform that will remain effective beyond the 100 days of documenta fifteen. Our curatorial approach aims at a different kind of collaborative model of resource use—economically, but also in terms of ideas, knowledge, programs, and innovation."
ruangrupa’s central curatorial approach for documenta fifteen is based on the principles of collectivity, resource building, and equal sharing. They aim to appeal not just to an art audience but to a variety of communities, and to promote local commitment and participation. Their approach is based on an international network of local, community-based organizations from the art and other cultural contexts and can be outlined by the Indonesian term lumbung. lumbung, directly translatable as “rice barn,” is a collective pot or accumulation system used in rural areas of Indonesia, where crops produced by a community are stored as a future shared common resource and distributed according to jointly determind criteria. Using lumbung as a model, documenta fifteen is a collective resource pot, operating under the logics of the commons. It is an agglomeration of ideas, stories, (wo)manpower, time, and other shareable resources. At the center of lumbung is the imagination and the building of these collective, shared resources into new models of sustainable ideas and cultural practices. This will be fostered by residencies, assemblies, public activities, and the development of tools.
Interdisciplinarity is key in this process. It is where art meets activism, management, and networking to gather support, understand environments, and identify local resources. These elements then create actions and spaces, intertwine social relations and transactions; they slowly grow and organically find a public form. This is a strategy “to live in and with society.” It imagines the relations an art institution has with its community by being an active constituent of it. Strategies are then developed based on proximity and shared desires.
The main principles of the process are:
• Providing space to gather and explore ideas
• Collective decision making
• Non-centralization
• Playing between formalities and informalities
• Practicing assembly and meeting points
• Architectural awareness
• Being spatially active to promote conversation
• A melting pot for and from everyone’s thoughts, energies, and ideas

According to the record of the 1988 court case Interlego AG v Tyco Industries Inc the design with a flowrib was drawn in 1968.
"(...) The matter is best exemplified by reference to the 2x4 brick, the basic design of which was produced in 1968 and is represented by a drawing number 300100 dated 4th March 1968. That contains five images, that is to say, (1) a depiction of the underside of the brick showing the walls of the skirt, the tubes and a "flow-rib" rendered necessary by the shape of the moulds then used in manufacture; (2) a cross-section of the side-view of the brick showing the knobs on top, the walls of the skirt at each end and the walls of the tubes (3) a cross-section of the end view, showing the side-walls of the skirt, the tube and the knobs; (4) a depiction of the top of the brick showing the outline of the eight knobs and (5) a representation of the side view of the brick not in cross-section. The first four of these are to a scale of 2 to 1 but the fifth is drawn to the actual size of the brick apparently for the purpose of enabling the design to be easily identified by those unskilled in reading technical drawings. In each case, save the last two, dimensions and design tolerances are indicated by figures and arrows.
The primary facts are not in dispute. This drawing formed the design for bricks manufactured up to 1971 or 1972. At that time Lego involved a new design with a thinner wall and re-drew their drawing showing thinner walls, a split in the tubes, ribs on the inner walls to provide co-operation with the existing range of bricks and no flow-rib. (...)"
Full text: www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKPC/1988/3.html
There seem to be a HUGE amount of bricks with the mold pip on the short side and a flowrib. Initially, the molds were numbered with a letter (using the Danish alphabet) and a cavity identification number (1 to 24). Different mold identifications, like bricks using numbers instead of letters, were also made.
The main reason many of these bricks are missing from my photostream is because they are incredibly difficult to sort. It looks like many of the letters were used in at least 5 molds, and there could be more.... This photo shows five versions of a "mold C, position 3" brick.
If these molds were really all made in the 1968-1972 time period, I am astonished by the amount of molds needed. Five times the alphabet (minus a few letters, plus a few other mold numberings) could mean that somewhere around 125 different molds producing 24 bricks each were made in these few years only....

Documenta From Wikipedia,
The Fridericianum during documenta (13)
documenta is an exhibition of contemporary art which takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. It was founded by artist, teacher and curator Arnold Bode in 1955 as part of the Bundesgartenschau (Federal Horticultural Show) which took place in Kassel at that time.[1] It was an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art, both banishing and repressing the cultural darkness of Nazism.[2] This first documenta featured many artists who are generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art (such as Picasso and Kandinsky). The more recent documentas feature art from all continents; nonetheless most of it is site-specific.
Every documenta is limited to 100 days of exhibition, which is why it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days".[3] Documenta is not a selling exhibition. It rarely coincides with the three other major art world events: the Venice Biennale, Art Basel and Skulptur Projekte Münster, but in 2017, all four were open simultaneously.
Etymology of documenta
The name of the exhibition is an invented word. The term is supposed to demonstrate the intention of every exhibition (in particular of the first documenta in 1955) to be a documentation of modern art which was not available for the German public during the Nazi era. Rumour spread from those close to Arnold Bode that it was relevant for the coinage of the term that the Latin word documentum could be separated into docere (Latin for teach) and mens (Latin for intellect) and therefore thought it to be a good word to describe the intention and the demand of the documenta.[4]
Each edition of documenta has commissioned its own visual identity, most of which have conformed to the typographic style of solely using lowercase letters, which originated at the Bauhaus.[5]
History
Stadtverwaldung by Joseph Beuys, oaktree in front of the museum Fridericianum, documenta 7
Art professor and designer Arnold Bode from Kassel was the initiator of the first documenta. Originally planned as a secondary event to accompany the Bundesgartenschau, this attracted more than 130,000 visitors in 1955. The exhibition centred less on "contemporary art“, that is art made after 1945: instead, Bode wanted to show the public works which had been known as "Entartete Kunst" in Germany during the Nazi era: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Blauer Reiter, Futurism and Pittura Metafisica. Therefore, abstract art, in particular the abstract paintings of the 1920s and 1930s, was the focus of interest in this exhibition.
Over time, the focus shifted to contemporary art. At first, the show was limited to works from Europe, but soon covered works by artists from the Americas, Africa and Asia. 4. documenta, the first ever to turn a profit, featured a selection of Pop Art, Minimal Art, and Kinetic Art.[6] Adopting the theme of Questioning Reality – Pictorial Worlds Today, the 1972 documenta radically redefined what could be considered art by featuring minimal and conceptual art, marking a turning point in the public acceptance of those styles.[7] Also, it devoted a large section to the work of Adolf Wolfli, the great Swiss outsider, then unknown. Joseph Beuys performed repeatedly under the auspices of his utopian Organization for Direct Democracy.[8] Additionally, the 1987 documenta show signaled another important shift with the elevation of design to the realm of art – showing an openness to postmodern design.[9] Certain key political dates for wide-reaching social and cultural upheavals, such as 1945, 1968 or 1976/77, became chronological markers of documenta X (1997), along which art's political, social, cultural and aesthetic exploratory functions were traced.[10] Documenta11 was organized around themes like migration, urbanization and the post-colonial experience,[11] with documentary photography, film and video as well as works from far-flung locales holding the spotlight.[7] In 2012, documenta (13) was described as "[a]rdently feminist, global and multimedia in approach and including works by dead artists and selected bits of ancient art".[12]
Criticism
documenta typically gives its artists at least two years to conceive and produce their projects, so the works are often elaborate and intellectually complex.[13] However, the participants are often not publicised before the very opening of the exhibition. At documenta (13), the official list of artists was not released until the day the show opened.[14] Even though curators have often claimed to have gone outside the art market in their selection, participants have always included established artists. In the documenta (13), for example, art critic Jerry Saltz identified more than a third of the artists represented by the renowned Marian Goodman Gallery in the show.[14]
Directors
The first four documentas, organized by Arnold Bode, established the exhibition's international credentials. Since the fifth documenta (1972), a new artistic director has been named for each documenta exhibition by a committee of experts. Documenta 8 was put together in two years instead of the usual five. The original directors, Edy de Wilde and Harald Szeemann, were unable to get along and stepped down. They were replaced by Manfred Schneckenburger, Edward F. Fry, Wulf Herzogenrath, Armin Zweite, and Vittorio Fagone.[15] Coosje van Bruggen helped select artists for documenta 7, the 1982 edition. documenta IX's team of curators consisted of Jan Hoet, Piero Luigi Tazzi, Denys Zacharopoulos, and Bart de Baere.[16] For documenta X Catherine David was chosen as the first woman and the first non-German speaker to hold the post. It is also the first and unique time that its website Documenta x was conceived by a curator (swiss curator Simon Lamunière) as a part of the exhibition. The first non-European director was Okwui Enwezor for Documenta11.[17]

2012's edition was organized around a central node, the trans-Atlantic melding of two distinct individuals who first encountered each other in the "money-soaked deserts of the United Arab Emirates". As an organizing principle it is simultaneously a commentary on the romantic potentials of globalization and also a critique of how digital platforms can complicate or interrogate the nature of such relationships. Curatorial agents refer to the concept as possessing a "fricative potential for productive awkwardness," wherein a twosome is formed for the purposes of future exploration.[23]

2016 (Junio) ~ Examen de Historia de España - Opción «A».
Convocatoria Ordinaria de Selectividad de Andalucía.
Fecha: 14 (Martes) de Junio de 2016.
Examen de Historia de España.
Opción A.
Responda al tema Revolución liberal en el reinado de Isabel II, y analice y justifique la relación con el mismo de los siguientes documentos:
Documento 1:
«A las Cortes. El actual estado de la nación y el delicado en que mí salud se encuentra me han hecho decidir a renunciar la Regencia del reino, que durante la menor edad de mi excelsa Hija Doña Isabel II me fue conferida por las Cortes constituyentes de la nación reunidas en 1836, a pesar de que mis Consejeros, con la honradez y patriotismo que les distingue, me han rogado encarecidamente continuara en ella, cuando menos hasta la reunión de las próximas Cortes, por creerlo así conveniente al país y a la causa pública; pero no pudiendo acceder a algunas de las exigencias de los pueblos, que mis Consejeros mismos creen deber ser consultadas para calmar los ánimos y terminar la actual situación, me es absolutamente imposible continuar desempeñándola, y creo obrar como exige el interés de la nación renunciando a ella. Espero que las Cortes nombraran personas para tan alto y elevado encargo, que contribuyan a hacer tan feliz esta nación como merece por sus virtudes. A la misma dejo encomendadas mis augustas Hijas, y los Ministros que deben, conforme al espíritu de la Constitución, gobernar el reino hasta que se reúnan, me tienen dadas sobradas pruebas de lealtad para no confiarles con el mayor gusto depósito tan sagrado. Para que produzca, pues, los efectos correspondientes, firmo este documento autógrafo de la renuncia, que en presencia de las autoridades y corporaciones de esta ciudad, entrego al Presidente de mi Consejo para que lo presente a su tiempo a las Cortes. María Cristina.»
Renuncia de la Regente María Cristina, Valencia 12 de octubre de 1840.
Documento 2:
Reproducciones de sendos retratos del general Baldomero Espartero y del general Ramón María Narváez. El segundo aparece de forma fragmentaria.
El retrato de Espartero tiene como autor a José María Casado del Alisal y fue pintado en 1872 para el Congreso de los Diputados donde se conserva. Se trata de un óleo sobre lienzo cuyas medidas son 130 x 96 cm. En los inventarios figura como «Retrato de Joaquín Baldomero Fernández Álvarez», debiendo advertir que existen múltiples versiones sobre los nombres y apellidos del Conde de Luchana sin que sepamos cuál es la correcta.
El retrato de Narváez es la última obra de Vicente López Portaña. El pintor realizó dos versiones de este cuadro, la primera para el Palacio Real de Madrid y la segunda, considerada como réplica, que se conserva en el Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia. Como no ingresó en esta institución hasta 1965, debemos suponer que fue realizado para el propio Narváez. Pese a ser considerada como una réplica, la versión valenciana es mucho más conocida y reproducida que la madrileña.
Se trata de un óleo sobre lienzo cuyas medidas son 27,7 x 147,5 cm. La firma del pintor se encuentra en el respaldo del sillón. Aparece registrado como «Retrato del capitán general Ramón María de Narváez, primer Duque de Valencia». El original y la réplica fueron concluidos en 1849.
________________________________________________
Cuatro observaciones sobre el presente examen:
- La reproducción de las ilustraciones ha sido en blanco negro y con un nivel de resolución a la altura de la brocha gorda. En el Vélez, los vocales que vigilaban el examen han tenido la deferencia de leer los rótulos de los carteles de la opción «B» a los alumnos, porque de otra forma no se habrían enterado de nada. Excusado es decir que nosotros hemos restablecido el formato, detalle y colorido del original.
- Obviamente, no se incorporan dos documento, sino tres. Hasta ahora esta disposición sólo se había empleado en el tema de la guerra civil al contraponer dos fotografías del conflicto, una por bando. Este ejercicio apareció en las pruebas de 2010, 2011, 2012 y 2013, habiendo sido elegido en este último curso como examen titular de junio.
- La renuncia de María Cristina y el retrato de Narváez sólo cuentan con un único precedente (en exámenes de reserva, no en titulares). El texto esperó hasta el juego de exámenes de 2011, mientras que el óleo de Vicente López fue escogido anteriormente, en concreto en una de las pruebas de 2008. La efigie de Espartero registra aquí su primera manifestación.
- No parece muy justificable el que en el tramo final de la selectividad se apueste por una estructura rupturista y se aporte material inédito o con una presencia escuálida en exámenes anteriores. Recordemos que las propuestas de 2015 sólo contenían un documento inédito e incluía la repetición literal de algunas pruebas. Por todo esto apostar en el 2016 por lo ya aparecido, teniendo en cuenta además el ocaso del actual modelo de pruebas, parecía una opción segura, casi una garantía.
Our Lady & The English Martyrs, Cambridge
stepneyrobarts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/our-lady-english-ma...
Yesterday I revisited St Peter for internals and finished of Cambridge, visiting seven Victorian built churches only one of which, Our Lady & The English Martyrs, is worth writing up.
At first sight I wrote OLEM off as a Victorian Gothic monstrosity but as I wandered around the exterior I was struck by the quality of the building and the interior stunned me with lots of rather good glass and impressive architecture (oh and apart from three revisits, Babraham, Guilden Morden and Stow cum Quy, that finished the north west quadrant).
The Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, or OLEM, is situated in the heart of the city of Cambridge. An imposing example of the 19th Century Gothic Revival, it was built to the designs of Dunn & Hansom of Newcastle between 1885 and 1890, and founded solely by Mrs Yolande Marie Louise Lyne-Stephens, a former ballet dancer at the Paris Opera and Drury Lane, London, and widow of a wealthy banker. She promised to build the church on the feast of Our Lady of the Assumption, and Monsignor Christopher Scott - the first Rector - also wished to commemorate the Catholic Martyrs who died between 1535 and 1681, over thirty of whom had been in residence at the University.
Designed by architects Dunn and Hansom of Newcastle and built by the Cambridge firm of Rattee and Kett, OLEM is constructed in Casterton, Ancaster and Combe Down Stone. The church is a traditional cruciform structure in the early-decorated style with a large tower at the crossing, a polygonal apse and a west bell tower with a 65-metre spire, visible for miles around Cambridge. Quite often, it is quoted by visitors and local residents as a location point. The approximate internal dimensions of the church are: length 48 meters [156 ft] width across the aisles 16 meters [51 ft] width at the transepts 22 meters [71 ft], the height of the nave 15 meters [71ft].
Inside and over the west door stands the figure of Our Lady of the Assumption crowned with lilies and standing on the crescent moon with the vanquished serpent beneath. The west window shows the English Martyrs arranged in two principal groups, the clergy on the south side with St John Fisher in their midst and the laity on the north grouped round St Thomas More.
Beside the South aisle is an ancient statue of Our Lady with the Child Jesus. This statue is understood to be a gift in 1850 from Emmanuel College, which was built on the site of a Dominican Priory dating back to 1274. The Church of the Black Friars of Cambridge contained a statue of Our Blessed Lady to which much pilgrimage was had. Although unconfirmed this could be that statue.
The Chapel of the Holy Souls with the book of Remembrance is located at the west end of the south aisle. The sculpture above the altar depicts the solace and relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory through the intercession of Our Lady and the angel who comforted Our Lord in Gethsemane. The Chapel is now appropriately used at the two great Christian celebrations: at Easter for the Empty Tomb indicating the Risen Lord, and at Christmas for the Crib.
The aisle windows were almost completely destroyed when the church was struck by a bomb on 1941, but were subsequently replaced in their original form. They epitomise the various sufferings of the English Martyrs, their being brought before the Council, racked, hung, drawn and quartered in the sight and sympathy of the faithful. The windows of the north aisle portray Carthusians, St Thomas Moore, B. Margaret Pole and others, while the south aisle is made a “Fisher Aisle”, devoted to scenes from the life of St John, Cardinal Bishop of Rochester, who in so many important ways is identified with Cambridge.
The best general impression of the interior is obtained from the gateway in the iron screen dividing the nave from the ante-chapel. The heads of the four great preachers of Our Lady’s Graces are carved in the four corners of the nave. The windows along the nave represent saints connected with the Church in Britain, arranged approximately in chronological order from east to west with a few additional figures in the eastern windows.
The Rood which is between the nave and the sanctuary is of the type known as “Majestas”; the figure of Our Lord, with glorified wounds, robed in alb, stole and pallium [as High Priest] and crowned [as King “reigning from the Tree”]. This was the earliest type of crucifix; the realistic figure, now almost universal, did not come into general use until the beginning of the thirteenth century. The cross, inspired by that at Nuremberg, is about 6 metres high, carved in oak; the figures of Christ and of Our Lady and of Saint John are of Kauri pine. They were carved locally by Mr. B. Maclean Leach and completed and blessed in 1914.
Beyond the present, modern altar is the High Altar with the relics of Saints Felix and Constantia, martyrs of the early Church. The tabernacle and ornaments of the altar are of exquisite French workmanship from Lyons. The baldacchino which covers the High Altar is similar to that over the tomb of Robert the Wise (1275-1343) at Santa Chiara, Naples. It is one of the earliest forms of adornment of a Christian altar. At the top is the figure of Our Lord in glory supported on each side by angels in act of adoration.
The design and the re-ordering of the sanctuary was done by Mr. Gerard Goalen of Harlow after the Second Vatican Council. On 7th April, 1973, Bishop Charles Grant consecrated the present central. The original High Altar has subsequently been used mainly for reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.
