Titi & David la artista y el poeta
Del 3 de diciembre de 2013 al 16 de febrero de 2014
Esta exposición presenta una inusual oportunidad de mostrar las creaciones artísticas y literarias de dos creadores unidos en matrimonio. La muestra reúne diversas ramas de las artes como son la escultura, la pintura y la poesía. Cuando Titi Escalante y David Escobar Galindo contrajeron nupcias en 1999, ya ambos estaban establecidos dentro de sus respectivas carreras. De esta unión surgieron colaboraciones artísticas, como es el Devocionario de David de 1999, ilustrado por Titi; y la reproducción de dibujos y pinturas de Titi en las portadas de otros poemarios de David. La agilidad lingüística de David contribuye a la titulación de las pinturas y esculturas de Titi. A menudo, Titi figura como musa en los poemas de David. De estos apoyos creativos mutuos surgió la idea de esta exposición.
La muestra está dividida en dos partes. La primera, desde la entrada del museo hasta la recepción, reúne once esculturas de la época temprana de Titi, previas a su matrimonio con David, acompañadas por La volcaneña, escultura donada por Escalante al MARTE en 2009, y un poema de Escobar Galindo. Las ranas tempranas de la artista tienen torsos gruesos, con líneas verticales como si fueran tirantes, cabezas que surgen de los cuerpos sin cuellos, pero con grandes sonrisas. Tienen los dedos de las manos y pies exageradamente alargados. Las esculturas aparecen en poses humanas, sentadas, recostadas, en diferentes estados de pensamiento. El título o nombre les otorga su género, y provienen de la mitología griega, de la Biblia o de personajes históricos o literarios. En ese sentido, el uso del antropomorfismo dota a estas ranas con un fuerte sentido de ironía y humor.
La segunda sección, ubicada en las salas temporales, presenta tríadas integradas por una escultura, una pintura y un poema; en un juego de intercambios temáticos y estilísticos entre piezas, enriqueciendo y ampliando de esta manera los posibles significados de cada pieza individual. Son diecinueve tríadas en total, Cada una delimitada entre columnas celestes, y acompañada por una breve explicación sobre las relaciones entre los diversos elementos expuestos, para guiar al espectador. Si bien cada objeto o elemento por separado – pintura, escultura o poema – tiene sus propios significados e intenciones; puestos en conjunto, sugieren nuevos contenidos para el espectador. Estos surgen de las relaciones que se pueden hacer entre la pintura y la escultura, entra la pintura y el poema, y entre la escultura y el poema. Las relaciones pueden ser sobre un tema presentado (la naturaleza o un personaje por ejemplo), sobre la composición o forma de alguna de las obras, un sentimiento compartido, o algún color, para mencionar algunas. Se invita al público a encontrar estas relaciones entre los objetos y textos expuestos, leyendo y observando detenidamente.
La exhibición está acompañada por textos biográficos de cada artista, así como textos explicativos sobre la obra de cada uno.

Just like you’ve seen in media from the 2000’s and earlier, the quintessential American suburbia summer experience includes a local swim (and tennis) club. During my childhood, I enjoyed summers riding my bike up to the pool with friends, and going to tennis team practices and matches in the afternoons (it was called the Kendallwood Swim Club). A handful of friends even became lifeguards, the pinnacle of summer jobs for a teenager. The average age for the city I grew up has been increasing, so there are fewer kids to go to the pools. As a result the pool where I spent my summers went vacant and slowly became dilapidated. They finally decided to demolish it, so I went over this last weekend to take a look. Here are some shots from that. In the days since, they have torn it up further.

Pudong (Chinese: 浦东) is a district of Shanghai, China, located along the east side of the Huangpu River, across from the historic city center of Shanghai in Puxi. It is administered as the Pudong New Area, a state-level new area.
More information about Shanghai.
Pudong is home to the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone and the Shanghai Stock Exchange and many of Shanghai's best known buildings, such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, the Jin Mao Building, the Shanghai World Financial Center. It is also the site of the future Shanghai Tower. These modern skyscrapers face directly across from Puxi's historic Bund, a remnant of a former concession in China.
Pudong refers to the land in the east of Huangpu River. Originally, the area was mainly farmland and countryside with some warehouses and wharfs near the shore. The parts closest to Puxi were administered by its districts, including Huangpu, Yangpu, and the former Nanshi District. The rest of the area was administered by Chuansha County.
In 1993, the Chinese government decided to set up a Special Economic Zone in Chuansha, creating the Pudong New Area. The western tip of the Pudong district was designated as the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone and was proposed to become the new financial hub of modern China. Several landmark buildings were constructed in Lujiazui to raise the image and awareness of the area. These include the Oriental Pearl Tower, the Jin Mao Building, and the supertall Shanghai World Financial Center. At 494 m, the last will be the tallest building in China of the nearby Shanghai Tower, which is projected to reach 565.6 m in 2014.
On May 6, 2009, it was disclosed that the State Council had approved the proposal to merge Nanhui District with Pudong and comprise the majority of eastern Shanghai.

St. Pauls Cathedral in Macau was built between 1582 to 1602 by the Jesuits. The cathedral was the largest Catholic church in Asia at the time, and the royalty of Europe vied with each other to bestow upon the cathedral the best gifts. With the decline in importance of Macau, which was overtaken as the main port for the Pearl River Delta by Hong Kong, the cathedral's fortunes similarly ebbed. It was destroyed by a fire during a typhoon in 1835. The Fortaleza do Monte overlooks the ruin.
The Ruins of St. Paul's (大三巴牌坊) refer to the façade of what was originally the Cathedral of St. Paul, a 17th century Portuguese cathedral in Macau dedicated to Saint Paul the Apostle. Today, the ruins are one of Macau's most famous landmarks. In 2005, the Ruins of St. Paul were officially enlisted as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Macau.
More information about the Marble Boat and the Summer Palace in Beijing can be found at my website: www.abookaboutchina.com/location/Summer-Palace
The Marble Boat ( 石舫), also known as the Boat of Purity and Ease (Qing Yan Fǎng) is a lakeside pavilion on the grounds of the Summer Palace in Beijing, China. It was first erected in 1755 during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor. The original pavilion was made from a base of large stone blocks which supported a wooden superstructure done in a traditional Chinese design.
In 1860, during the Second Opium War, the pavilion was destroyed by Anglo-French forces. It was restored in 1893 on order of the Empress Dowager Cixi. In this restoration, a new two-story superstructure was designed which incorporated elements of European architecture. Like its predecessor, the new superstructure is made out of wood but it was painted to imitate marble. On each "deck", there is a large mirror to reflect the waters of the lake and give an impression of total immersion in the aquatic environment. Imitation paddlewheels on each side of the pavilion makes it look like a paddle steamer. The pavilion has a sophisticated drainage system which channels rain water through four hollow pillars. The water is finally released into the lake through the mouths of four dragon heads.
The boat design of the pavilion may relate to a quote attributed to Wei Zheng, a chancellor of the Tang Dynasty renown for his honest advice. He is said to have told the emperor "the waters that float the boat can also swallow it", implying that the people can support the emperor but can also topple him. With this in mind, Emperor Qianlong might have chosen to construct the Marble Boat on a solid stone base to indicate that the Qing Dynasty was not to be overthrown.
The Marble Boat is often seen as an ironic commentary on the fact that the money used to restore the Summer Palace largely came from funds originally earmarked for building up a new imperial navy. The controller of the Admiralty, the 1st Prince Chun, owed much of his social standing as well as his appointment to the Empress Dowager, who had adopted his oldest son to become the Guangxu Emperor. Because of this, he probably saw no other choice than to condone the embezzlement.
The pavilion is 36 meters long. It stands on the northwestern shore of Kunming Lake, near the western end of the Long Corridor.

"Where to go by bus" - a charming guide to the town and the extensive country area services. The latter continued up into WMPTE days and I have fond memories of a mis-spent youth rattling around places on the way to Bridgenorth and sitting on buses doing reverse turns in what appeared to be farmyards!
The cover shows a sketch of the Saturday Market in Wolverhampton.

Capellania San Esteban
6ª. Calle Oriente entre 12 y 14 Avenida Sur
Barrio San Esteban, San Salvador. El Salvador Centroamérica.
Calle de La Amargura
Forma parte del grupo de 8 vías de oriente a poniente, que conforman la ciudad de San Salvador a partir de la última década del siglo XVI
La construcción de la vía fue dedicada por las autoridades españolas, con dos puntos equidistantes para servir en las actividades de Cuaresma y Semana Santa. Estos puntos fueron las iníciales Ermitas de El Calvario al poniente y la de San Esteban al oriente.
Esta calle significo para la ciudad la ubicación de residenciales de familias acomodadas, de uno de los antiguos cuarteles coloniales ubicado en las proximidades del actual Palacio de la Policía Nacional Civil y, a partir del siglo XVII del monasterio de la orden Mercedaria y de un intenso comercio a partir del siglo XX.
La actual calle poniente/oriente, sirvió inicialmente y hasta nuestros días como Vía Dolorosa, aprovechando la ubicación de los dos templos arriba mencionados. Las autoridades eclesiásticas coloniales decidieron denominarla Calle de la Amargura, una de las formas de llamarle al camino de Cristo hacia El Calvario, durante su proceso de crucifixión.
El Vía crucis es, para muchos cristianos, un ejercicio de piedad lleno de contenido y de cariño agradecido. Consiste en seguir espiritualmente este mismo trayecto, deteniéndose ante 14 escenas o estaciones para meditar los sufrimientos de Jesucristo y unirse interiormente con Él.
Los distintos textos que se han hecho, son un instrumento, no sólo para la oración vocal, sino que pueda ayudar a la meditación personal, a la reflexión sobre el misterio de la redención y sobre todo al diálogo intimo con el Señor. Los textos intentan ser un medio para la oración personal o comunitaria, sobre todo en momentos fuertes en que la Liturgia nos invita a asociarnos a la Pasión del Señor, por ejemplo en los viernes de Cuaresma, o el Viernes Santo.

This is a scan of a page from Your Guide to the National Parks from Stone Road Press. They contacted me about using one of my photos from our amazing Alaska trip as the lead-in photo to their section on Denali, and were kind enough to send me a copy of the book.
I haven't had time to do any more than skim the book, but it does look quite nice.
I truly hope to spend some significant time this summer processing and posting photos, old and new. Hopefully I'll become some semblance of a useful Flickr citizen again, for at least a while.
The original on Flickr is here.

Can you tell that I like to research a place?
After reading about it for months, I am so ready to actually GO there. We leave on Friday.
