Chiharu Shiota
"Für den WhiteCube der Kunsthalle Rostock kreierte Chiharu Shiota eine ortsspezifische Installation namens „Letters of Thanks“. Dafür wurden Dankesbriefe in einer lokalen, Kampagne gesammelt und zusammen mit verschickten Briefen aus Japan, Dänemark und Brasilien, wo sie diese Arbeit schon realisiert hat, in die Installation der Kunsthalle Rostock integriert. Der Realisierung dieser Arbeit ging als Impuls die Dankbarkeit der Künstlerin gegenüber ihrem persönlichen Kontext voraus. Sie überträgt ihre eigenen Erfahrungen in einen Versuch, die Menschen dazu anzuregen, Gefühle, die schwer zu formulieren sind, in Worte zu fassen. Durch die Verwendung der neuen Medien sind die Beziehungen virtuell und abstrakter geworden. Die Geschwindigkeit von SMS, WhatsApp, WeChat, Facebook, Twitter und anderer Kommunikationsmedien verhindert die Auswahl spezifischer und persönlicher Begriffe. Das Briefeschreiben soll hier Teil des Entschleunigungsprozesses der Ausstellungsteilnehmer werden. Die Empfänger der Briefe sind Gott, Familienmitglieder, Freunde, das Universum..."

Looking Close...on Friday! ~ Letters
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated
Some times looking at something simply can be the only thing needed. Building blocks always fascinated me.

Quick and dirty. It's ok... Painting with three fractured ribs, which is why it's been a little while.
I'll go back to the intense fills and crazy letters etc once the ribs have healed. I just needed to get something up on the wall today... I was going nuts not having done a piece for ages.
Some colourful stencils bought for our grandkids! Stuck for an original idea but suddenly these came to mind!
Kuk Gumbaz Mosque is an architectural monument located in Shahrisabz, Qashqadaryo Region, Uzbekistan. The mosque was built between 1434 and 1435 by Ulug Beg Mirzo for his father Shah Rukh Mirzo. Historical inscriptions with the names of the Timurids and the time of construction have been preserved in the porch of the mosque.
Kuk Gumbaz Mosque is the main mosque in the ensemble of Dorut Tilavat (located in the south of Shahrisabz, near the "Chorsu" shopping complex). It was built on the opposite side of Gumbazi Sayidon Mausoleum and Shamsuddin Kulol Mausoleum.
The dome of the mosque is lined with mosaic brick tiles with inscriptions written in the Kufic script. In the middle of the border, verses 1–3 of Surah "Fath" of the Holy Qur'an were written in large white letters on a yellow background. Under the dome of the mosque, the text of the Holy Qur'an "Sura Juma" was written in small letters on a blue background. This part was later repaired.
Mosque has a large dome covered with blue tiles which inspired the mosque's name.
I see a few of these run around the Borough and seem to be very effective at sweeping up litter and rubbish.
As seen on a walk.
