José Gurvich (1927 – 1974) was a Uruguayan painter, potter, musician and a key figure in the Constructivism Art movement.
I have been meaning to do something with a collection of beer mats that I bought. This is how it turned out. It is not exactly as I imagined initially. I have come to understand increasingly that art is less like design where one mostly plans things and thinks things through very carefully in order to achieve a specific goal but is more like Science where one explores, investigates and discovers things that one didn't necessarily start out to look for.
I am not sure about the background it is mounted on but these were pieces of card that were used as dividers in the collection of beer mats to separate out little groupings. It made sense to include these in the piece and I quite liked the faded nature of the obviously old cardboard used.
The title's a nick from a line in David Bowie's "Scary Monsters", from his album of the same name. Bowie's groundbreaking song seems to suggest a woman or a girl with extremely limited self awareness, who's strikingly attractive but definitely got problems with identity and personal funtioning. She's big city "damaged goods". His fantastic pastiche of images and angles creates a sharp and striking image. Created for the "Shock of the New" group's challenge, "Urban Identities".

Music Link: "Scary Monsters" - David Bowie, from his album, "Scary Monsters ( and Super Creeps )". Although there are some pretty hot performance videos from the 1997 tour I chose the original song from the album for the clarity of the lyrics and for the unforgettable, jaw-dropping lead guitar work of Robert Fripp. This is probably one of Fripp's most scorching. most sanity-threatening guitar conflagrations of all time. Bowie completely let him "off the leash" on this one and it's mind-boggling.

Ah, why not? Here's a link to a 1996 live performance of the song. It's worth it to watch Mr. Jones in full swing ...

Photo of my new (not really new) sculpture. Title is permutation X01. I build this model long time ago and show the visualization the first time at 23. September 2017 at Instagram. I have no way to build a physical object so i take the Name "X"01. This month I changed my technology to SLA (MSLA) and get so much more details....I can realize so much finer Details :-) Now, I ca building this object (4 Years later). Size of the object is 12cm * 12cm * 1.2cm. Artwork by monochromeandminimal project:pietern.

De Ploeg: English: The Plough or The Group is an artist collective from the city of Groningen in the Netherlands. The collective was established in 1918 by a group of young artists. Their goal was to create new opportunities for exhibitions and to educate the general public about developments in art, architecture, and literature. The name was suggested by one of the founding members Jan Altink, because he felt like a lot of ground still had to be broken for modern art in Groningen. Several art styles were prominent within "De Ploeg", including expressionism, constructivism and impressionism. This artist collective still exists, but its most important time lay in the 1920s (Wikipedia).
An image from 2014 from the vaults. It hasn't been posted to Flickr until now, where it appears as the group icon for the "PANO-Vision" Group.
"PANO-Vision" is a group founded by Paul Ewing and myself to collect, feature and focus on images that have been created by deliberate "sabotage" of the smart phone's panoramic function. It's a technique we've both been working with for a year and one which we've found very few other artists on Flickr using.
The group seeks to foster this approach and guide anyone interested in discovering the "technique" for themselves.

One of the most important Soviet constructivist architectures, the legendary Narkomfin (Дом Наркомфина) in Moscow, Russia, by Moisei Ginzburg and Ignaty Milinis (1928-1930). In this photo taken in September 2021 you can see how it looks following the recent restoration managed by Ginzburg Architects, including Alexey Ginzburg (grandson of Moisei).

Die Namib ist mit einem Alter von rund 80 Millionen Jahren die älteste Wüste der Welt und zugleich einer der unwirtlichsten Orte des Planeten. Bei Tagestemperaturen deutlich über 50 °C, Nachttemperaturen von unter 0 °C, jahrzehntelang andauernden Trockenperioden sowie häufigen Sandstürmen sind Pflanzen und Tiere extremen Lebensbedingungen ausgesetzt.
