PORTO (Portugal): "Plantoir" (Colher de jardineiro)
Esta escultura de Claes Oldenburg e Coosje van Bruggen, transforma um objecto de uso comum – uma colher de jardineiro – numa gigantesca peça de uso impossível. Reflecte o espírito pop destes artistas e o gosto pela elevação de objectos banais à condição de objecto artístico, tornando presente o próprio quotidiano como se uma lupa o ampliasse. Esta peça constitui uma referência ao próprio acto de plantar, tornando-se num símbolo e numa metáfora da intervenção qualificada do homem na natureza, podendo ser visto de 3 pontos diferentes: o caminho do jardim, a casa, e a rua, proporcionando um forte contraste com o espaço envolvente. Toda a sua força converge para o chão, para a terra, muito embora desça de uma grande altitude. Canelada nas costas e lisa por dentro, parece ter sido concebida a pensar na natureza, revelando o interesse destes artistas pela paisagem.

I bought most of these tools over 50 years ago, and many were already well used when I bought them, so they've definitely earned their rust.

Hello Valeria, what are you doing?
Uhmm, tooling?
You know what this wheel is for?
Yes, of course, it's for... thingy. You know?
Copying sewing patterns.
That's what I said!
So you're copying your boyfriend?
I... uhmm... he needs new clothes. Yes, totally new clothes, with being nekkid and so.
Yes I see. Can't be running around like that, this being a safe group.
Exactly! Glad you understand!

No sewing pattern copy thingies were harmed in the making of this picture.

The Milky Way rising above the hoodoos and unique, hearty vegetation in the badlands of northern New Mexico. The Valley of Dreams, located northwest of Chaco Canyon, does not disappoint, though its formations are not as extensive as Bisti further to the northwest. The night was the clearest I’ve been able to shoot in two years—partly weather, partly competing schedules! The moon was just setting, producing the well-exposed landscape and long shadows. I typically plan for at least two images on a night out, and this was my second with the plant and hoodoos as the landscape elements. It was a little tricky figuring out the composition in the dark, but I’m happy with what I was able to do. The sky and landscape were taken from the same set of images, but processed separately in Photoshop, Starry Landscape Stacker, Astronomy Tools, Astro Panel, and Nik.
