Day 50!-Another green shirt. This one got some wear for a bit before putting it in storage.
Its a simple one too with a hand/arm reaching to turn up a volume knob. Simple yet effective.
My favourite part of the shirt is that if worn normally (without a shirt under, the volume knob is right at the nipple! HAHA)

The first portion, which can be dated sometime in the 11th or 12th century, contains the works of Aristotle. It also includes an extremely interesting schema (fol. 27) and initials accented in green and decorated with scrollwork. The text of Boethius, which is dated somewhat later, was copied during the 12th century. In this text one also finds some contemporaneous corrections as well as glosses from the 14th century.

So i haven't really seen a volume 2 glee cover done this way and i decided to do one. Im quite happy with how it turned out :) Certain characters are not on this as i copied what people where on the official cover. I however added sue in as i felt she should be on there to :D
I have several strips done but even more pieces cut (see right bottom of photo). I'm not sure if I define "low volume" in the same way that other people do. My idea of low volume is fabric with a mostly white or nearly white background - thus all the bright colors in some of the pieces.

"Fouilles de Byblos, Tome VI. L'urbanisme et l'architecture".
Bibliothèque archéologique et historique tome 182 (Ifpo Beyrouth, 2008).
Byblos est un des rares sites du Proche-Orient où il a été possible de suivre l’évolution d’une occupation continue du Néolithique final à l’époque moderne. Après de longues années de retard, le tome VI des Fouilles de Byblos, issu du manuscrit inachevé de Maurice Dunand, a été repris et complété par Jean Lauffray, un des derniers architectes ayant collaboré avec le pionnier de l’archéologie de Byblos. Cet ouvrage apporte enfin une interprétation urbanistique et architecturale de ce site majeur, depuis les débuts de l’installation urbaine à la période du Bronze II.
Les prémices de l’histoire urbaine de Byblos sont ainsi présentées au lecteur qui pourra suivre l’évolution de ce site, remarquable à plus d’un titre, de la côte syro-palestinienne. Les vestiges de ce site fortifié sont replacés dans leur contexte architectural et livrent leurs particularismes; aussi bien à travers les matériaux que les techniques de construction.
L’ouvrage, largement illustré et complété par un atlas de plans, comprend quatre grandes parties qui traduisent les principales étapes de l’évolution urbaine et technique au Bronze Ancien :
I- La fin de la phase de sédentarisation
II- La naissance de la vie urbaine
III- La phase de transition dite des « Grosses Fondations »
IV- L’épanouissement de la vie urbaine
La période étudiée prend fin avec la destruction momentanée de la ville par un grand incendie causé par l’invasion des Amorites.
Byblos is one of the very few archeological sites of the Near East allowing to follow the evolution of a continuous settlement from the Late Neolithic Age to the Modern Period. After many years of delay, the volume VI of the Byblos Excavations, based on the uncompleted manuscript of the late Maurice Dunand, has been completed by Jean Lauffray, one of the last architects having worked with the pioneer of Byblos archeology. This book proposes an architectural and urban development interpretation of this major site from the beginning of the urban settlement period to the Middle Bronze II Period.
The reader is therefore introduced to the very beginnings of the urban history of Byblos and may follow the evolution of this noteworthy site of the Syro- Palestinian coast. The vestiges of this fortified site are put in their architectural context uncovering their specificities in the construction materials and techniques.
The book, widely illustrated, is completed by an atlas of plans. It includes four main parts refering to the main stages of the urban and technical evolution during the Early Bronze Period :
I. The end of the sedentarization stage II. The beginning of urban life
III. The transitional stage known as «Grosses Fondations»
IV. The blossoming of urban life
The period discussed here ends with the temporary destruction by fire of the city that occurred with the invasion of the Amorites.

Part of Azzedine Alaïa: The Couturier
(May to October 2018)
The mastery with which Azzedine Alaïa invented and deployed stretch fabrics earned him the nickname the ‘King of Cling’ in the 1980s. But Alaïa’s interest in the hyper-fitted form was by no means single-minded – it expressed a fascination with exploring volume, creating sculptural shapes that could redefine a woman’s body. This idea is pushed to the extreme in these voluminous ballgowns.
These styles also underline Alaïa’s life-long fascination with fashion history and his respect for the past. These pieces re-examine the grandeur of costume in the 17th and 18th centuries, re-imagining their shapes and effects through contemporary technologies and attitudes to the body. They are not a revival, but a re-evaluation. Alaïa’s volume is achieved through intricate technique.
Echoing the work of Cristóbal Balenciaga, he seldom used internal structures such as boning or petticoats, instead exploring the qualities of the fabrics themselves to achieve deceptively complex shapes that float weightlessly around the body.
Conceived and co-curated with Monsieur Alaïa before his death in November 2017, the exhibition charts his incredible journey from sculptor to couturier, his nonconformist nature and his infectious energy for fashion, friendship and the female body.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Alaïa personally constructed each garment by hand and refused to bow to the pressures of fashion week deadlines, instead working to his own schedule. His collaborative approach earned him an esteemed client list, including Greta Garbo, Grace Jones, Michelle Obama and Rihanna.
Rather than a retrospective, the show interlaces stories of his life and career alongside personally selected garments, ranging from the rare to the iconic and spanning the early 1980s to his most recent collection in 2017.

the VOLUME project
September 11–20, 2014, Beirut
Have libraries become obsolete in the digital age? Can we conceive public libraries as something other than a collection of books? When does a library begin and end?
Started as a long-term research project in November 2013, the VOLUME project investigates the potential of libraries as sites for artistic creation and production of knowledge, as well as for the formation of critique and dialogue. For nine days, international and local artists, theorists, curators and librarians will engage the public library as a space and a concept, through a series of performances, ad-hoc interventions, talks, literary writings and installations. Events will take place at 98weeks Project Space, Assabil Libraries, and in public spaces around Beirut.
The multiplicity of interventions composing the VOLUME project mirrors the complexities that the library embodies, both as a physical and theoretical subject. Newly commissioned artworks and a program of talks will be reflecting the many facets of the library as a public space, political agent, vehicle for memory, conceptual entity, cataloguing system, fantasy and knowledge generator. What is a library after all? Something so vivid and yet so elusive. Something physical and yet conceptual. Container and content. A singular encompassing multitude. Potentially infinite and intrinsically unfinished.
The library symbolizes the human ambition to amass and preserve all the knowledge of the world, the utopia of a totality at hand. In its physical manifestation, it displays the modern rationality trying to tame the episteme under categories, inventories or parameters of acceptance. It raises questions related to the accessibility to knowledge and how libraries’ collections reflect political choices. The library feeds the desire to know, but also the desire to forget.
VOLUME’s upcoming session in September will present an occasion to share and discuss with the public these and further issues, in what we hope will be an intensive and thought-provoking series of events and encounters. A live publishing platform called “Vologue” will accompany the project. Two writers/witnesses, Roger Outa and Lina Mounzer, will react to talks, events, and performances. Their accounts will appear daily in printed form and on VOLUME’s website.
All the interventions and their ramifications will eventually coalesce into a single publication — the VOLUME — which will be donated to Beirut’s public libraries. VOLUME is therefore the artists’ measuring device and connector. It is part and whole. It is inside the library. It is the library. It is what the library is missing.
Ad hoc interventions and performances by Mounira Al Solh (LB/NL), Andrew Beccone (US), Pauline Curnier Jardin (FR), Aldis Ellersdóttir Hóff (SE), Per Hüttner (SE/FR), RYBN.ORG (FR), Walid Sadek (LB).
Talk Series with Stefanie Baumann, Antoine Boulad (Assabil Association), Jessica Khazrik & Monica Basbous (Ashkal Alwan Library), Marcell Mars, Maud Stephan (Lebanese National Library).
the VOLUME project is a collaboration between Vision Forum, Assabil Association and 98weeks Research Project and is curated by Sara Giannini together with 98weeks.
