वांग ज़ीहान, शांक्सी प्रान्त

 

पारस्परिक संबंध एक ऐसा विषय है जो कई लोगों के सिर में दर्द पैदा कर देता है। यह एक ऐसा विषय भी है जिसका अक्सर ईसाई के रूप में एक व्यक्ति पूरे जीवन भर सामना करता है। प्रभु यीशु की अपेक्षा है कि हम एक-दूसरे के साथ सामंजस्य में मिलकर रहें और दूसरों से अपने समान प्यार करें। कई आस्थावान ईसाई भी प्रभु की शिक्षाओं को अभ्यास में लाने के इच्छुक हैं। हालांकि, हकीकत में, जब हम दूसरों के साथ बातचीत करते हैं, तो हम अक्सर संघर्ष और गलतफहमी का सामना करते हैं, वो भी इतना कि हमारे रिश्ते कठोर होकर टूट जाते हैं। इससे हर किसी को दर्द होता है। क्या कारण है कि हम एक-दूसरे के साथ सामंजस्यपूर्ण रूप से रहने में असमर्थ हैं? प्रभु की मंशा के अनुसार हम ईसाई अपने जीवन में दूसरों के साथ कैसे बातचीत कर सकते हैं? अतीत में मुझे जो कठिनाई हुई है, उसमें यह समस्या भी रही है। प्रभु के मार्गदर्शन के लिए उनका धन्यवाद! बाद में, मुझे एक पुस्तक में इस सवाल का जवाब मिला, जिसने मेरी कठिनाइयों का समाधान कर दिया। यहां, मैं अपने अनुभव और समझ के बारे में कुछ बताने जा रही हूँ!

  

1. आपको दूसरों के साथ उचित और समान व्यवहार करना चाहिए। आपको अपनी भावनाओं और वरीयताओं के आधार पर काम नहीं करना चाहिए।

 

यीशु ने कहा: "क्योंकि यदि तुम अपने प्रेम रखनेवालों ही से प्रेम रखो, तो तुम्हारे लिये क्या फल होगा? क्या महसूल लेनेवाले भी ऐसा ही नहीं करते? "यदि तुम केवल अपने भाइयों ही को नमस्कार करो, तो कौन सा बड़ा काम करते हो? क्या अन्यजाति भी ऐसा नहीं करते? इसलिये चाहिये कि तुम सिद्ध बनो, जैसा तुम्हारा स्वर्गीय पिता सिद्ध है" (मत्ती 5:46–48)। प्रभु के वचनों से, मैं समझ गयी कि परमेश्वर की अपेक्षा है कि ईसाई जन अपने जीवन में दूसरों के साथ परमेश्वर के वचनों के अनुसार व्यवहार करें। उन्हें अपनी भावनाओं और वरीयताओं के अनुसार ऐसा नहीं करना चाहिए। जब मैं इस बारे में सोचती हूँ कि दूसरों के साथ हम कैसे बातचीत करते हैं, तो मुझे एहसास होता है कि जब हम दूसरों से लाभ या सहायता प्राप्त करते हैं, तो हम उस दूसरे पक्ष के प्रति आनंदित और आभारी हो जाते हैं। हालांकि, जब अन्य लोग कुछ ऐसा कहते या करते है जो हमें नुकसान पहुंचाता है, तो हम इस दूसरे व्यक्ति से घृणा करने लग जाते हैं और उस पर ज़्यादा ध्यान नहीं देते हैं। जब हम किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति का सामना करते हैं जिसे हम पसंद करते हैं, तो हम उसके करीब आते हैं और उसे अपने पास खींच लेते हैं; जब हम किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति का सामना करते हैं जिसे हम पसंद नहीं करते हैं, तो हम उसे अस्वीकार कर देते हैं और उससे दूर चले जाते हैं। जिनके पास ऊँची हैसियत या अधिक शक्ति है, हम उनकी खूब प्रशंसा करते हैं और उनकी चाटुकारिता करते हैं। जिनके पास हैसियत या शक्ति नहीं है, हम उन्हें अस्वीकार करते हैं और उन्हें अपमानित करते हैं। कोई ऐसा जिसके लिए हमारी वरीयता होती है यदि वो हमारी कमियों को बताता है, तो हम इसे स्वीकार करने में सक्षम होते हैं। लेकिन जिसके लिए हमारी वरीयता नहीं होती, यदि वो कुछ ऐसा करता है, तो हम इसे स्वीकार नहीं करते हैं, हम इसका औचित्य सिद्ध करते हैं और कभी-कभी हम उनसे घृणा भी करते हैं, उसके साथ लड़ने लगते हैं और यहां तक कि उस पर हमला भी करते हैं। ये सभी किसी व्यक्ति द्वारा अपनी खुद की भावनाओं और प्राथमिकताओं का पालन करने और दूसरों के साथ समान रूप से व्यवहार न करने के उदाहरण हैं। यह वह तरीका भी है जिसके अनुसार अविश्वासी दूसरों के साथ व्यवहार करते हैं। यदि कोई ईसाई दूसरों के साथ इस तरह से व्यवहार करता है, तो वो उसी रास्ते पर चल रहा है जिस पर एक अविश्वासी चलता है, वह प्रभु में विश्वासी कहलाने योग्य नहीं हैं और वो जो कर रहा है वह परमेश्वर के इरादे के अनुसार नहीं है। प्रभु में विश्वासियों के तौर पर, हमें उसकी शिक्षाओं को अभ्यास में लाना चाहिए। हमें दूसरों से अपने समान प्यार करना चाहिए। जब तक कि किसी की मानवता अच्छी है, वह वास्तव में परमेश्वर में विश्वास करता है और सत्य से प्यार करता है, तो वो हमारी प्राथमिकताओं, मिजाज़, चरित्र के साथ संगत हो या ना हो, चाहे हम उसे पसंद करते हों या न करते हों और भले ही वे साधारण भाई बहन हों या कलीसिया के अगुआ हों, हमें ईमानदारी से और निष्पक्षता से उनके साथ व्यवहार करना चाहिए। हमें उनके प्रति सहिष्णुता, धैर्य और प्यार दिखाना चाहिए। हमें धोखाधड़ी और भेदभाव नहीं करना चाहिए। केवल ऐसा करके ही हम परमेश्वर की मंशा के अनुसार होंगे।

 

2. दूसरों की कमियों और प्रकट की गयी भ्रष्टता को उचित ढंग से सम्बोधित करें। मनमाने ढंग से दूसरों को परिभाषित और उनकी आलोचना ना करें।

 

यीशु ने कहा: "दोष मत लगाओ कि तुम पर भी दोष न लगाया जाए। क्योंकि जिस प्रकार तुम दोष लगाते हो, उसी प्रकार तुम पर भी दोष लगाया जाएगा; और जिस नाप से तुम नापते हो, उसी नाप से तुम्हारे लिये भी नापा जाएगा" (मत्ती 7:1–2)। प्रभु की शिक्षाओं ने मुझे यह समझने में मदद की है कि हम सभी वो लोग हैं जो शैतान द्वारा भ्रष्ट किये गए हैं। हमारा भ्रष्ट स्वभाव एक जैसा है। अगर दूसरे एक घमंडी, दम्भी, स्वार्थी और घृणित शैतानी स्वभाव प्रकट करते हैं, तो हम भी वही स्वभाव प्रकट कर सकते हैं। हमारे अंदर दूसरों के समान ही कमियाँ हैं। हम दूसरों की तुलना में बेहतर नहीं हैं। अगर हम दूसरों की कमियों और भ्रष्टाचार के कारण उनकी आलोचना करते हैं और उन्हें परिभाषित करते हैं, तो हम वास्तव में घमंडी हैं और स्वयं के बारे में हमें बहुत कम ज्ञान है! इसलिए, दूसरे चाहे जो भ्रष्टाचार और अपराध प्रकट करें उसके बावजूद, हमें उन्हें सही तरीके से संबोधित करना होगा और हमें मनमाने ढंग से उनकी आलोचना और उन्हें परिभाषित नहीं करना चाहिए। पापियों को संबोधित करते समय यीशु का जो रवैया था, जैसा कि बाइबल में लिखा है, उसे याद रखें: फ़रीसी एक व्यभिचारी महिला को पकड़ कर यीशु के सामने लाये। उन्होंने यीशु से पूछा कि इस महिला के साथ कैसा व्यवहार किया जाना चाहिए। उस समय के कानूनों के मुताबिक, महिला की पत्थर मार-मार कर हत्या कर देनी चाहिए थी। हालाँकि, यीशु ने उसे उसके पापों के लिए दोषी नहीं ठहराया। उसने बस उस महिला को भविष्य में पाप ना करने के लिए कहा। (यूहन्ना 8: 3-11 देखें।) इस अवतरण से, हम देख सकते हैं कि यीशु उस दर्द और असहायता को समझता है जिसे वे लोग महसूस करते हैं जिन्हें शैतान द्वारा भ्रष्ट किया गया है और जो पाप में रहते हैं। उसने मनुष्य की कमज़ोरी के प्रति करुणा महसूस की। जब हमने भ्रष्टाचार प्रकट किया है या अपराध किए हैं, तो जब तक हम वास्तव में पश्चाताप करते हैं, परमेश्वर हमें पश्चाताप करने और बदलने के लिए पर्याप्त समय देगा। हमें यीशु के उदाहरण का भी पालन करना चाहिए और अन्य लोगों की कमियों और प्रकट की गयी भ्रष्टता को सही तरीके से संबोधित करना चाहिए। हमें विकास के परिप्रेक्ष्य के माध्यम से दूसरों को देखना चाहिए। यह अन्य लोगों से निपटने का एक सिद्धांत भी है जो ईसाइयों के जीवन में होना चाहिए। यदि अन्य लोगों के लिए हमारी मांगें कठोर हैं, हम बाल की खाल निकालते हैं और मनमाने ढंग से लोगों की आलोचना तक करते हैं, यदि हम लोगों को परिभाषित करते हैं और उनकी कमियों को खोजने के बाद यह निष्कर्ष निकालते हैं कि वे निकम्मे हैं, तो यह दूसरों के साथ निपटने के लिए एक अहंकारी और दम्भी भ्रष्ट स्वभाव का उपयोग करने का एक उदाहरण है। यदि आप ऐसा करते हैं, तो यह परमेश्वर के इरादे के अनुसार नहीं है और आप दूसरों के साथ सामान्य संबंध बिल्कुल नहीं रख पाएंगे।

 

अब मैं अपने कुछ अनुभव आप सभी को बताती हूँ। हमारी कलीसिया में, एक बहन है जो अपने अविश्वासी पति के कारण समय पर सभाओं में भाग लेने में असमर्थ है। मैंने कई बार इस बहन से बात की थी, लेकिन वह अभी भी नकारात्मकता और कमजोरी में जी रही थी। मैं इस लेकर बहुत नाराज थी और इसलिए मैंने उसे ऐसे व्यक्ति के रूप में परिभाषित किया जो वास्तव में परमेश्वर में विश्वास नहीं करती थी। मैं अब और उसकी मदद या सहायता नहीं करना चाहती थी। बाद में, मैंने बाइबल में लिखे ये वचन पढ़े: "खानेवाला न–खानेवाले को तुच्छ न जाने, और न–खानेवाला खानेवाले पर दोष न लगाए; क्योंकि परमेश्‍वर ने उसे ग्रहण किया है। तू कौन है जो दूसरे के सेवक पर दोष लगाता है? उसका स्थिर रहना या गिर जाना उसके स्वामी ही से सम्बन्ध रखता है; वरन् वह स्थिर ही कर दिया जाएगा, क्योंकि प्रभु उसे स्थिर रख सकता है" (रोमियों 14:3-4)। मुझे बहुत शर्मिंदगी महसूस हुयी। मैंने उन समयों के बारे में सोचा जब मैं पराजित, नकारात्मक और कमज़ोर महसूस करती थी। परमेश्वर ने मेरे भाई-बहनों को भावनात्मक रूप से छुआ ताकि वे आगे आएं और परमेश्वर के वचनों को कई बार पढ़कर मुझे सुनाएं। वे मेरी सहायता करने और मुझे सहारा देने के लिए मुझसे बातचीत करते और अपने अनुभव मुझे बताया करते। केवल परमेश्वर के वचनों के मार्गदर्शन से ही मैं दृढ़ता से खड़ी हो पायी। मेरे पास कुछ भी ऐसा नहीं था जिस पर मैं गर्व कर सकती थी। अब, यह बहन अपने पति की बाधाओं के कारण समय पर सभाओं में भाग लेने में असमर्थ थी। मुझे एक प्यार करने वाले दिल के साथ उसकी मदद करनी चाहिए थी, फिर भी मैं इस बहन के जीवन के बारे में चिंतित नहीं थी। मैंने उसे टालने की कोशिश भी की और उसे ऐसे व्यक्ति के रूप में परिभाषित किया जो वास्तव में परमेश्वर में विश्वास नहीं करती थी। जब मैंने खुद पर नज़र डाली, तो मुझे लगा कि मैं बहुत अहंकारी थी। मैंने इस बहन के साथ प्यार भरे दिल या धैर्य से व्यवहार नहीं किया। मेरे पास ऐसा कुछ भी नहीं था जो कि परमेश्वर के इरादों के अनुसार था। एक बार जब मैं यह समझ गयी, फिर मैंने परमेश्वर के सामने अपने पाप स्वीकार किए और पश्चाताप किया: मैं इस बहन की मदद करने और सहारा देने के लिए तैयार थी। इसके बाद, मैंने इस बहन को प्यार भरे दिल के साथ परमेश्वर के वचन सुनाये और मैंने अपने कुछ अनुभव और समझ को भी साझा किया। उसके साथ कुछ बार संवाद करने के बाद, वह अब अपने पति के नियंत्रण के अधीन नहीं थी और उसकी स्थितियों में धीरे-धीरे सुधार हुआ। इस अनुभव से मैंने जो सीखा वह यह है कि किसी भी भाई या बहन के अंदर चाहे जो भी कमियां और कमज़ोरियाँ हों, या वे जो भी भ्रष्टाचार प्रकट करें, जब तक कि वे वास्तव में परमेश्वर पर विश्वास करते हैं और जब वे गलती करते हैं तो परमेश्वर के सामने पश्चाताप कर सकते हैं, परमेश्वर उन्हें बदलने का एक अवसर देगा। यही कारण है कि हमें दूसरों की प्यार भरे दिल से मदद करनी चाहिए, उन्हें माफ करना चाहिए और प्रत्येक व्यक्ति के साथ परमेश्वर की अपेक्षाओं के अनुसार व्यवहार करना चाहिए। हमें बिल्कुल भी मनमाने ढंग से अन्य लोगों को परिभाषित नहीं करना चाहिए और उनकी आलोचना नहीं करनी चाहिए। इसी प्रकार से एक व्यक्ति लोगों के साथ समान रूप से और परमेश्वर की मंशा के अनुसार व्यवहार करता है।

 

3. आपको अन्य लोगों को कम या ज़्यादा करके नहीं आँकना चाहिए। दूसरों की खूबियों से सीखें और अपनी कमियों को दूर करें।

 

बाइबल कहती है: "विरोध या झूठी बड़ाई के लिये कुछ न करो, पर दीनता से एक दूसरे को अपने से अच्छा समझो" (फिलिप्पियों 2:3)। परमेश्वर ने हममें से प्रत्येक को अलग-अलग क्षमता, प्रतिभा और खूबियां दी है। इस कारण से, अपने भाइयों और बहनों के साथ बातचीत करते समय हमें विनम्र दिल रखना चाहिए और हमें दूसरों की खूबियों और कमियों को सही ढंग से देखना चाहिए। हमें दूसरों को कम या ज़्यादा करके नहीं आँकना चाहिए। हमें दूसरों की खूबियों को ग्रहण करना चाहिए ताकि हम अपनी कमियों को दूर कर सकें। यदि हम अपनी खूबियों, क्षमता और प्रतिभा के कारण दूसरों को नीची दृष्टि से देखते हैं और असीम ढंग से अपनी ताकत बढ़ाते हैं, जिसके माध्यम से हम दिखावा करते हैं और डींगे हाँकते हैं, साथ ही दूसरों की आलोचना करते हैं, नीचा दिखाते हैं और नुकसान पहुंचाते हैं, तो हम अपने अहंकारी और दम्भी भ्रष्ट स्वभाव द्वारा इस प्रकार से नियंत्रित किये जा रहे हैं। एक ईसाई को इस तरह का जीवन नहीं जीना चाहिए। उदाहरण के लिए, पहले, मैं हमेशा सोचती थी कि मेरी खुद की क्षमता अपने साथ काम कर रही एक बहन की तुलना में बेहतर थी, इसलिए मैं उसे नीची दृष्टि से देखती थी। एकसाथ हमारे काम के दौरान, मैं जाने-अनजाने में दिखावा करती थी और मेरा दिल अपने लिए घमंड से भरा हुआ था। मेरे भ्रष्ट स्वभाव के कारण परमेश्वर को मुझसे घृणा हो गयी और इसके कारण परमेश्वर ने मेरी ओर से अपना मुँह मोड़ लिया। मेरी आत्मा अँधेरी और निराशापूर्ण हो गई। मेरे काम में कई स्पष्ट समस्याएं थीं जिन्हें मैं खोज पाने में असमर्थ थी, जबकि इस बहन का काम धीरे-धीरे बेहतर होता चला गया। मैंने उस बारे में सोचा जो यीशु ने कहा था: "जो कोई अपने आप को बड़ा बनाएगा, वह छोटा किया जाएगा: और जो कोई अपने आपको छोटा बनाएगा, वह बड़ा किया जाएगा" (मत्ती 23:12)। इसी समय मैंने देखा कि मैं कितनी अहंकारी थी। मैं खुद से अवगत नहीं थी। असल में, यह पवित्र आत्मा के काम के कारण है कि मेरे काम ने कुछ परिणाम उत्पन्न किये थे या मैं कुछ समस्याओं को खोजने में सक्षम थी। हालाँकि, मैंने अभी भी परमेश्वर का सम्मान चुराया था और मैं बेहद आत्मतुष्ट थी और अपने खुद के अहंकार की प्रशंसा करती थी। मैं अपने साथी भाइयों और बहनों को नीची दृष्टि से देखती थी। हकीकत में, मैं बहुत ही अविवेकी थी! साथ ही, मुझे पता था कि मुझे खुद को कैसे जाने देना है यह सीखने की जरूरत है। मुझे अपनी कमियों को दूर करने के लिए उस बहन की खूबियों को खुले दिमाग से आत्मसात करना था। केवल अगर मैंने ऐसा किया तभी परमेश्वर प्रसन्न होगा और मेरा जीवन लगातार बढ़ेगा। नतीजतन, मैंने ऐसा करना शुरू कर दिया। जब ऐसी समस्याएं आतीं जिन्हें मैं समझ नहीं पाती थी, तो मैं उस बहन से उसकी सलाह माँगती। अगर मैं मुद्दों का सामना करती, तो मैं उनके साथ उन पर चर्चा करती। तब मैंने पाया कि वास्तव में उसमें ऐसी कई खूबियां थीं जिनका मुझमें अभाव था। मेरे दिल ने बहुत अपमानित महसूस किया। मैं यह भी समझ गयी कि परमेश्वर ने ऐसी व्यवस्था की थी कि मैं इस बहन के साथ काम करूँ क्योंकि वह चाहता था कि मैं अपनी कमियों को दूर करूँ। वह चाहता था कि जो काम उसने हमें सौंपा था उसको करने के लिए हम सामंजस्यपूर्ण रूप से सहयोग करें। धीरे-धीरे, इस बहन के साथ मेरा रिश्ता सामान्य हो गया और मुझे एक बार फिर पवित्र आत्मा का काम प्राप्त हुआ।

 

4. जब आप यह पाते हैं कि अन्य लोग ऐसी चीज़ें करते हैं जो आपके विचारों से मेल नहीं खाती हैं, तो दूसरे व्यक्ति पर अपनी नज़रें न गड़ायें। इसके बजाय, आपको पहले खुद को पहचानना चहिये और सत्य का अभ्यास करना चाहिये।

 

यीशु ने कहा: "तू क्यों अपने भाई की आँख के तिनके को देखता है, और अपनी आँख का लट्ठा तुझे नहीं सूझता? जब तेरी ही आँख में लट्ठा है, तो तू अपने भाई से कैसे कह सकता है, 'ला मैं तेरी आँख से तिनका निकाल दूँ?' हे कपटी, पहले अपनी आँख में से लट्ठा निकाल ले, तब तू अपने भाई की आँख का तिनका भली भाँति देखकर निकाल सकेगा" (मत्ती 7:3–5)। जब हम दूसरों के साथ बातचीत करते हैं, तो कुछ टकराव और पूर्वाग्रह होना निश्चित है। इन क्षणों पर, हमें इस बात पर ध्यान नहीं देना चाहिए कि दूसरा पक्ष क्या गलत कर रहा है और हमेशा यह नहीं मानना चाहिए कि दूसरे पक्ष की ही गलती है। इसके बजाय, हमें परमेश्वर के सामने आना और परमेश्वर के वचन के भीतर सत्य को तलाशना सीखना चाहिए ताकि हम यह पता लगा सकें कि हमारी अपनी समस्याएं कहाँ हैं। एक बार जब हम परमेश्वर के इरादे को समझ लेते हैं और अपने भ्रष्ट स्वभाव की समझ पा लेते हैं, तो हम खुद को अन्य लोगों की जगह रख कर देख पाएंगे और चीजों को उनके नज़रिए से समझ पाएंगे। हम दूसरों को समझ पायेंगे, उनके साथ सहानुभूति रखने और सहिष्णु होने में सक्षम होंगे। इस बिंदु पर, दूसरों के लिए हमारा पूर्वाग्रह स्वाभाविक रूप से कम हो जाएगा।

 

इस पहलू के संबंध में मुझे कुछ गहरे अनुभव हुए हैं। मुझे याद है कि एक बहन जिसके साथ मैंने काम किया था, उसने कई बार यह इशारा किया कि कलीसिया के काम के संबंध में मैंने अपना दायित्व नहीं निभाया था। हालाँकि, न केवल मैं इसे परमेश्वर से प्राप्त करने में असमर्थ थी, वास्तव में, मुझे यह भी संदेह था कि यह बहन जान-बूझकर मुझमें मीन-मेख निकाल रही थी और मेरी जिंदगी मुश्किल बना रही थी। मेरे दिल ने इस बहन की तरफ पूर्वाग्रह पैदा करना शुरू कर दिया और अब मैं इस बहन के साथ सेवा नहीं करना चाहती थी। जब मैंने परमेश्वर के वचन को पढ़ा और परमेश्वर की मंशा को ढूंढा, तो मुझे समझ में आया कि मेरा स्वयं का अहंकारी और दम्भी शैतानी स्वभाव मुझे नियंत्रित कर रहा था और मुझे इस बहन के सुझावों को स्वीकारने नहीं दे रहा था। इससे मुझे उसके बारे में संदेह भी हुआ। इसी कारण इस बहन के साथ सामान्य बातचीत करने में मैं असमर्थ हो गयी। साथ ही, मुझे पता था कि जिन लोगों, घटनाओं और चीजों का मैं हर रोज सामना करती थी, सभी परमेश्वर द्वारा निर्देशित और व्यवस्थित थे। यह परमेश्वर था जो सावधानी से इन चीजों को मुझे बदलने और बचाने के लिए व्यवस्थित कर रहा था, न कि वह बहन जानबूझकर मेरे लिए चीजों को मुश्किल बनाना चाहती थी। मुझे परमेश्वर को समर्पण करना चाहिए, खुद को जाने देना और उस बहन के सही सुझावों को स्वीकार करना सीखना चाहिए। इसके बाद, मैं परमेश्वर के सामने गयी और खुद पर विचार किया। बहन के सुझावों से, मैं देख सकती थी कि वास्तव में मैं कलीसिया के काम के संबंध में अपनी जिम्मेदारियों को नहीं उठा रही थी। जो भी अगुवा मेरे लिए करने की व्यवस्था करते थे, मैं वो करती थी, फिर भी मैंने कभी यह नहीं सोचा कि मैं कलीसिया के काम को और भी बेहतर कैसे कर सकती हूँ। एक बार जब मैं परमेश्वर के इरादे को समझ गयी, तो मैं चीजों को परमेश्वर की अपेक्षाओं के अनुरूप करने लगी। मैंने सक्रिय रूप से और खुले दिल से इस बहन के सामने अपना भ्रष्टाचार प्रकट किया और मैंने परमेश्वर से भी मुझे और अधिक ज़िम्मेदारियाँ देने को कहा। जब मैंने परिस्थितियों का सामना किया, तो मैंने इस बारे में और सोचा कि मैं कलीसिया को कैसे लाभ पहुंचा सकती हूँ। जब मैं चीजों को इस तरह से अभ्यास में लायी, तो एक समय जो गलतफहमी इस बहन के साथ हुआ करती थी वो खत्म हो गयी। हम आध्यात्मिक रूप से जुड़ गये और जो सद्भावना पहले हमारे बीच थी, वो एक बार फिर बहाल हो गयी।

 

अभ्यास के चार सिद्धांत वे चीजें थीं जिन्हें मैंने अपने अनुभवों से सीखा था। मैंने सचमुच अनुभव किया कि एक ईसाई के जीवन में परमेश्वर का वचन मार्ग दिखाने वाला प्रकाश है। यह हमारे पथ के लिए दिशासूचक है। परमेश्वर के वचन के मार्गदर्शन के बिना, हमारे पास चलने को कोई रास्ता नहीं होगा। हमें बस इतना करना है कि हम परमेश्वर की शिक्षाओं को अभ्यास में लायें और सभी के साथ समान रूप से व्यवहार करें। केवल तभी हम वास्तविक मनुष्य के समान जीवन जीने में सक्षम होंगे, दूसरों के साथ अच्छी तरह से मिल-जुलकर रह पाएंगे, हमारे आस-पास के लोगों को लाभ पाने देंगे, साथ ही, हम परमेश्वर को संतुष्ट करने और हमें सराहने का कारण देंगे।

 

परमेश्वर के मार्गदर्शन के लिए उसका धन्यवाद। परमेश्वर की महिमा बनी रहे!

 

संपादक की टिप्पणी: परमेश्वर के प्रबोधन और मार्गदर्शन के कारण, जब तक कि इस निबंध में वर्णित चार सिद्धांतों का कोई अभ्यास करता है, तो मानव संबंधों के विषय में जिन समस्याओं का सामना उसे करना पड़ता है, वे जादुई रूप से गायब हो जाएंगीं। कल्पना कीजिए कि हमारे जीवन कितने बेहतर होंगे यदि हम ईसाईयों के रूप में परमेश्वर के वचनों को अभ्यास में लाने और दूसरों के साथ सामंजस्यपूर्ण ढंग से जीने में सक्षम हों जाएँ! इस तरह का जीवन कोई कहाँ पा सकता है? संपादक की सलाह है कि आप इस ईसाई भजन को सुनें: "परमेश्वर का प्यार हमें एक दूसरे के करीब लाता है"। इस भजन को सुनने के बाद, आपको आपका जवाब मिल जाएगा।

SML Pro Blog: SoundCloud = Innovative Social Network for Musicians

 

SoundCloud is a social network startup for musicians based in Berlin. Originally from Stockholm, the founders created the site after they have grown "tired of getting emails with YouSentIt links or FTP log-ins just to be able to check out our friends latest soon-to-be released tracks."

 

Just a couple of years ago, when you mention music and social networks, the first site that came to mind is MySpace. Yes, MySpace is a social network and they do put much weight on music and musicians, but MySpace fails to innovate beyond implementing comments + music player, and that is barely social. In this blog post I will go through the many innovations SoundCloud brought to the music scene and explain why I like it so much.

Wednesday 19 February 2014: Neltner Refuge (3207 m / 10522 ft) - Toubkal (جبل توبقال‎) (4167 m / 13671 ft) - Neltner Refuge (3207 m / 10522 ft)

 

An early rise and shine at the Neltner Refuge - 5.53am alarm, breakfast back down in the dining room at 6.30am ish, donning waterproofs, boots, then outside for crampon lacing and ice axe wrangling (and photos) and we were ready and raring to go on our Mt Toubkal ascent by 7.15am. Beautiful clear blue skies, pristine snow and very cold. We'd had feather patterned ice on the inside of our dorm window this morning.

 

After a bit of stopping and starting we found our pace, with Hussein-the-guide leading the way and Mohammed bringing up the rear, and eventually splitting into two groups. Strong winds en route brought the temperature down further and whipped up the snow - beautiful but occasionally painful. You needed to keep moving. My ears got very cold (hence the scarf-as-headscarf look in the photos). Towards the top of the valley, the morning sun caught up with us, providing a touch of warmth but making the snowscape very bright. Time to don the Julbo sunglasses (another image element I'd rather be without!).

 

Just after 11am we reached the head of the valley - Tizi'n'Toubkal (3940 m / 12926 ft) - and were rewarded with a magical view east of misty blue ridges and, somewhere beyond that, the Sahara. Looking behind us we could see the valley we'd climbed through, to the north the path up to the peak - the metal pyramid on top making it easy to identify. A very photogenic stop, and Hussein found us a sheltered spot for a bit of a breather before the final push up and round to the very top of Toubkal.

 

We summited at 11.45am or there abouts, and once we'd caught our breaths it was time for celebratory snaps, sweets and mélange courtesy of Hussein. Tara, Liz, Denyse and Mohammed arrived about half an hour later accompanied by another group who were carrying skis on their packs, planning to a ski descent. Now that's what I call nuts (but then again, I don't ski....). More photos, plus bread and cheese triangles to celebrate. Beautiful panoramic views under blue skies - who could ask for more?

 

A speedy descent - due to a combination of taking a more direct path down and gravity, plus the lure of lunch back at the refuge. The wind had dropped and it got hot clad in accumulated thermals. I'd settled on Uniqlo polo neck base layer, M&S thermal top, Mountain Kingdoms fleece, plus my Goretex jacket on top; for bottoms, Icebreaker thermal leggings, Gelert trousers, Tibetan waterproof trews (admittedly a little on the short side) plus gaiters - a lower half look reminiscent of Little Lord Fauntleroy. As I'd absent-mindedly done yesterday's crampon training in my Salomon hiking boots (Women's Sector Mid GTX), I'd worn them again today - my new Scarpas didn't get a look in on this trip. My Mountain Equipment Women's Randonee Mitts were invaluable, as were (Hazel's - thank you...) trekking poles.

 

We were back at the refuge around 3.30pm, and by 4 o'clock were feasting on a late lunch of pasta, lentils, carrots, peas, cucumber/tomato/red onion/sweetcorn salad, bread and olives, accompanied by lots of tea and rounded off with the zingyest clementines I've ever tasted - it's citrus season, and these are fully ripened, fresh fruit.

 

As the wood stove warmed the dining room, afternoon tea followed at 5.30pm - paratha-y pancakes drizzled with honey - followed by dinner at 7pm. Bed followed not long after (and a good night's sleep, partly due to escaping last night's condensation drips).

 

A fantastic day.

 

PS It looks like we did the South Col / Cwm (Irhzer n'Ikhibi Janoub) route.

Our Lady & The English Martyrs, Cambridge

 

stepneyrobarts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/our-lady-english-ma...

 

Yesterday I revisited St Peter for internals and finished of Cambridge, visiting seven Victorian built churches only one of which, Our Lady & The English Martyrs, is worth writing up.

 

At first sight I wrote OLEM off as a Victorian Gothic monstrosity but as I wandered around the exterior I was struck by the quality of the building and the interior stunned me with lots of rather good glass and impressive architecture (oh and apart from three revisits, Babraham, Guilden Morden and Stow cum Quy, that finished the north west quadrant).

 

The Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, or OLEM, is situated in the heart of the city of Cambridge. An imposing example of the 19th Century Gothic Revival, it was built to the designs of Dunn & Hansom of Newcastle between 1885 and 1890, and founded solely by Mrs Yolande Marie Louise Lyne-Stephens, a former ballet dancer at the Paris Opera and Drury Lane, London, and widow of a wealthy banker. She promised to build the church on the feast of Our Lady of the Assumption, and Monsignor Christopher Scott - the first Rector - also wished to commemorate the Catholic Martyrs who died between 1535 and 1681, over thirty of whom had been in residence at the University.

 

Designed by architects Dunn and Hansom of Newcastle and built by the Cambridge firm of Rattee and Kett, OLEM is constructed in Casterton, Ancaster and Combe Down Stone. The church is a traditional cruciform structure in the early-decorated style with a large tower at the crossing, a polygonal apse and a west bell tower with a 65-metre spire, visible for miles around Cambridge. Quite often, it is quoted by visitors and local residents as a location point. The approximate internal dimensions of the church are: length 48 meters [156 ft] width across the aisles 16 meters [51 ft] width at the transepts 22 meters [71 ft], the height of the nave 15 meters [71ft].

 

Inside and over the west door stands the figure of Our Lady of the Assumption crowned with lilies and standing on the crescent moon with the vanquished serpent beneath. The west window shows the English Martyrs arranged in two principal groups, the clergy on the south side with St John Fisher in their midst and the laity on the north grouped round St Thomas More.

 

Beside the South aisle is an ancient statue of Our Lady with the Child Jesus. This statue is understood to be a gift in 1850 from Emmanuel College, which was built on the site of a Dominican Priory dating back to 1274. The Church of the Black Friars of Cambridge contained a statue of Our Blessed Lady to which much pilgrimage was had. Although unconfirmed this could be that statue.

 

The Chapel of the Holy Souls with the book of Remembrance is located at the west end of the south aisle. The sculpture above the altar depicts the solace and relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory through the intercession of Our Lady and the angel who comforted Our Lord in Gethsemane. The Chapel is now appropriately used at the two great Christian celebrations: at Easter for the Empty Tomb indicating the Risen Lord, and at Christmas for the Crib.

 

The aisle windows were almost completely destroyed when the church was struck by a bomb on 1941, but were subsequently replaced in their original form. They epitomise the various sufferings of the English Martyrs, their being brought before the Council, racked, hung, drawn and quartered in the sight and sympathy of the faithful. The windows of the north aisle portray Carthusians, St Thomas Moore, B. Margaret Pole and others, while the south aisle is made a “Fisher Aisle”, devoted to scenes from the life of St John, Cardinal Bishop of Rochester, who in so many important ways is identified with Cambridge.

 

The best general impression of the interior is obtained from the gateway in the iron screen dividing the nave from the ante-chapel. The heads of the four great preachers of Our Lady’s Graces are carved in the four corners of the nave. The windows along the nave represent saints connected with the Church in Britain, arranged approximately in chronological order from east to west with a few additional figures in the eastern windows.

 

The Rood which is between the nave and the sanctuary is of the type known as “Majestas”; the figure of Our Lord, with glorified wounds, robed in alb, stole and pallium [as High Priest] and crowned [as King “reigning from the Tree”]. This was the earliest type of crucifix; the realistic figure, now almost universal, did not come into general use until the beginning of the thirteenth century. The cross, inspired by that at Nuremberg, is about 6 metres high, carved in oak; the figures of Christ and of Our Lady and of Saint John are of Kauri pine. They were carved locally by Mr. B. Maclean Leach and completed and blessed in 1914.

 

Beyond the present, modern altar is the High Altar with the relics of Saints Felix and Constantia, martyrs of the early Church. The tabernacle and ornaments of the altar are of exquisite French workmanship from Lyons. The baldacchino which covers the High Altar is similar to that over the tomb of Robert the Wise (1275-1343) at Santa Chiara, Naples. It is one of the earliest forms of adornment of a Christian altar. At the top is the figure of Our Lord in glory supported on each side by angels in act of adoration.

 

The design and the re-ordering of the sanctuary was done by Mr. Gerard Goalen of Harlow after the Second Vatican Council. On 7th April, 1973, Bishop Charles Grant consecrated the present central. The original High Altar has subsequently been used mainly for reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.

—--Biennale from wikipedia —--

 

The Venice International Film Festival is part of the Venice Biennale. The famous Golden Lion is awarded to the best film screening at the competition.

Biennale (Italian: [bi.enˈnaːle]), Italian for "biennial" or "every other year", is any event that happens every two years. It is most commonly used within the art world to describe large-scale international contemporary art exhibitions. As such the term was popularised by Venice Biennale, which was first held in 1895. Since the 1990s, the terms "biennale" and "biennial" have been interchangeably used in a more generic way - to signify a large-scale international survey show of contemporary art that recurs at regular intervals but not necessarily biannual (such as triennials, Documenta, Skulptur Projekte Münster).[1] The phrase has also been used for other artistic events, such as the "Biennale de Paris", "Kochi-Muziris Biennale", Berlinale (for the Berlin International Film Festival) and Viennale (for Vienna's international film festival).

Characteristics[edit]

According to author Federica Martini, what is at stake in contemporary biennales is the diplomatic/international relations potential as well as urban regeneration plans. Besides being mainly focused on the present (the “here and now” where the cultural event takes place and their effect of "spectacularisation of the everyday"), because of their site-specificity cultural events may refer back to,[who?] produce or frame the history of the site and communities' collective memory.[2]

 

The Great Exhibition in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, in 1851, the first attempt to condense the representation of the world within a unitary exhibition space.

A strong and influent symbol of biennales and of large-scale international exhibitions in general is the Crystal Palace, the gigantic and futuristic London architecture that hosted the Great Exhibition in 1851. According to philosopher Peter Sloterdijk,[3][page needed] the Crystal Palace is the first attempt to condense the representation of the world in a unitary exhibition space, where the main exhibit is society itself in an a-historical, spectacular condition. The Crystal Palace main motives were the affirmation of British economic and national leadership and the creation of moments of spectacle. In this respect, 19th century World fairs provided a visual crystallization of colonial culture and were, at the same time, forerunners of contemporary theme parks.

The Venice Biennale as an archetype[edit]

 

The structure of the Venice Biennale in 2005 with an international exhibition and the national pavilions.

The Venice Biennale, a periodical large-scale cultural event founded in 1895, served as an archetype of the biennales. Meant to become a World Fair focused on contemporary art, the Venice Biennale used as a pretext the wedding anniversary of the Italian king and followed up to several national exhibitions organised after Italy unification in 1861. The Biennale immediately put forth issues of city marketing, cultural tourism and urban regeneration, as it was meant to reposition Venice on the international cultural map after the crisis due to the end of the Grand Tour model and the weakening of the Venetian school of painting. Furthermore, the Gardens where the Biennale takes place were an abandoned city area that needed to be re-functionalised. In cultural terms, the Biennale was meant to provide on a biennial basis a platform for discussing contemporary art practices that were not represented in fine arts museums at the time. The early Biennale model already included some key points that are still constitutive of large-scale international art exhibitions today: a mix of city marketing, internationalism, gentrification issues and destination culture, and the spectacular, large scale of the event.

Biennials after the 1990s[edit]

The situation of biennials has changed in the contemporary context: while at its origin in 1895 Venice was a unique cultural event, but since the 1990s hundreds of biennials have been organized across the globe. Given the ephemeral and irregular nature of some biennials, there is little consensus on the exact number of biennials in existence at any given time.[citation needed] Furthermore, while Venice was a unique agent in the presentation of contemporary art, since the 1960s several museums devoted to contemporary art are exhibiting the contemporary scene on a regular basis. Another point of difference concerns 19th century internationalism in the arts, that was brought into question by post-colonial debates and criticism of the contemporary art “ethnic marketing”, and also challenged the Venetian and World Fair’s national representation system. As a consequence of this, Eurocentric tendency to implode the whole word in an exhibition space, which characterises both the Crystal Palace and the Venice Biennale, is affected by the expansion of the artistic geographical map to scenes traditionally considered as marginal. The birth of the Havana Biennial in 1984 is widely considered an important counterpoint to the Venetian model for its prioritization of artists working in the Global South and curatorial rejection of the national pavilion model.

—---Venice Biennale from wikipedia —

 

The Venice Biennale (/ˌbiːɛˈnɑːleɪ, -li/; Italian: La Biennale di Venezia) is an international cultural exhibition hosted annually in Venice, Italy by the Biennale Foundation.[2][3][4] The biennale has been organised every year since 1895, which makes it the oldest of its kind. The main exhibition held in Castello, in the halls of the Arsenale and Biennale Gardens, alternates between art and architecture (hence the name biennale; biennial).[5][6][7] The other events hosted by the Foundation—spanning theatre, music, and dance—are held annually in various parts of Venice, whereas the Venice Film Festival takes place at the Lido.[8]

History

1895–1947

On April 19, 1893, the Venetian City Council passed a resolution to set up an biennial exhibition of Italian Art ("Esposizione biennale artistica nazionale") to celebrate the silver anniversary of King Umberto I and Margherita of Savoy.[11]

A year later, the council decreed "to adopt a 'by invitation' system; to reserve a section of the Exhibition for foreign artists too; to admit works by uninvited Italian artists, as selected by a jury."[12]

The first Biennale, "I Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte della Città di Venezia (1st International Art Exhibition of the City of Venice)" (although originally scheduled for April 22, 1894) was opened on April 30, 1895, by the Italian King and Queen, Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia. The first exhibition was seen by 224,000 visitors.

The event became increasingly international in the first decades of the 20th century: from 1907 on, several countries installed national pavilions at the exhibition, with the first being from Belgium. In 1910 the first internationally well-known artists were displayed: a room dedicated to Gustav Klimt, a one-man show for Renoir, a retrospective of Courbet. A work by Picasso "Family of Saltimbanques" was removed from the Spanish salon in the central Palazzo because it was feared that its novelty might shock the public. By 1914 seven pavilions had been established: Belgium (1907), Hungary (1909), Germany (1909), Great Britain (1909), France (1912), and Russia (1914).

During World War I, the 1916 and 1918 events were cancelled.[13] In 1920 the post of mayor of Venice and president of the Biennale was split. The new secretary general, Vittorio Pica brought about the first presence of avant-garde art, notably Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.

1922 saw an exhibition of sculpture by African artists. Between the two World Wars, many important modern artists had their work exhibited there. In 1928 the Istituto Storico d'Arte Contemporanea (Historical Institute of Contemporary Art) opened, which was the first nucleus of archival collections of the Biennale. In 1930 its name was changed into Historical Archive of Contemporary Art.

In 1930, the Biennale was transformed into an Ente Autonomo (Autonomous Board) by Royal Decree with law no. 33 of 13-1-1930. Subsequently, the control of the Biennale passed from the Venice city council to the national Fascist government under Benito Mussolini. This brought on a restructuring, an associated financial boost, as well as a new president, Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata. Three entirely new events were established, including the Biennale Musica in 1930, also referred to as International Festival of Contemporary Music; the Venice Film Festival in 1932, which they claim as the first film festival in history,[14] also referred to as Venice International Film Festival; and the Biennale Theatro in 1934, also referred to as International Theatre Festival.

In 1933 the Biennale organized an exhibition of Italian art abroad. From 1938, Grand Prizes were awarded in the art exhibition section.

During World War II, the activities of the Biennale were interrupted: 1942 saw the last edition of the events. The Film Festival restarted in 1946, the Music and Theatre festivals were resumed in 1947, and the Art Exhibition in 1948.[15]

1948–1973[edit]

The Art Biennale was resumed in 1948 with a major exhibition of a recapitulatory nature. The Secretary General, art historian Rodolfo Pallucchini, started with the Impressionists and many protagonists of contemporary art including Chagall, Klee, Braque, Delvaux, Ensor, and Magritte, as well as a retrospective of Picasso's work. Peggy Guggenheim was invited to exhibit her collection, later to be permanently housed at Ca' Venier dei Leoni.

1949 saw the beginning of renewed attention to avant-garde movements in European—and later worldwide—movements in contemporary art. Abstract expressionism was introduced in the 1950s, and the Biennale is credited with importing Pop Art into the canon of art history by awarding the top prize to Robert Rauschenberg in 1964.[16] From 1948 to 1972, Italian architect Carlo Scarpa did a series of remarkable interventions in the Biennale's exhibition spaces.

In 1954 the island San Giorgio Maggiore provided the venue for the first Japanese Noh theatre shows in Europe. 1956 saw the selection of films following an artistic selection and no longer based upon the designation of the participating country. The 1957 Golden Lion went to Satyajit Ray's Aparajito which introduced Indian cinema to the West.

1962 included Arte Informale at the Art Exhibition with Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung, Emilio Vedova, and Pietro Consagra. The 1964 Art Exhibition introduced continental Europe to Pop Art (The Independent Group had been founded in Britain in 1952). The American Robert Rauschenberg was the first American artist to win the Gran Premio, and the youngest to date.

The student protests of 1968 also marked a crisis for the Biennale. Student protests hindered the opening of the Biennale. A resulting period of institutional changes opened and ending with a new Statute in 1973. In 1969, following the protests, the Grand Prizes were abandoned. These resumed in 1980 for the Mostra del Cinema and in 1986 for the Art Exhibition.[17]

In 1972, for the first time, a theme was adopted by the Biennale, called "Opera o comportamento" ("Work or Behaviour").

Starting from 1973 the Music Festival was no longer held annually. During the year in which the Mostra del Cinema was not held, there was a series of "Giornate del cinema italiano" (Days of Italian Cinema) promoted by sectorial bodies in campo Santa Margherita, in Venice.[18]

1974–1998[edit]

1974 saw the start of the four-year presidency of Carlo Ripa di Meana. The International Art Exhibition was not held (until it was resumed in 1976). Theatre and cinema events were held in October 1974 and 1975 under the title Libertà per il Cile (Freedom for Chile)—a major cultural protest against the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

On 15 November 1977, the so-called Dissident Biennale (in reference to the dissident movement in the USSR) opened. Because of the ensuing controversies within the Italian left wing parties, president Ripa di Meana resigned at the end of the year.[19]

In 1979 the new presidency of Giuseppe Galasso (1979-1982) began. The principle was laid down whereby each of the artistic sectors was to have a permanent director to organise its activity.

In 1980, the Architecture section of the Biennale was set up. The director, Paolo Portoghesi, opened the Corderie dell'Arsenale to the public for the first time. At the Mostra del Cinema, the awards were brought back into being (between 1969 and 1979, the editions were non-competitive). In 1980, Achille Bonito Oliva and Harald Szeemann introduced "Aperto", a section of the exhibition designed to explore emerging art. Italian art historian Giovanni Carandente directed the 1988 and 1990 editions. A three-year gap was left afterwards to make sure that the 1995 edition would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Biennale.[13]

The 1993 edition was directed by Achille Bonito Oliva. In 1995, Jean Clair was appointed to be the Biennale's first non-Italian director of visual arts[20] while Germano Celant served as director in 1997.

For the Centenary in 1995, the Biennale promoted events in every sector of its activity: the 34th Festival del Teatro, the 46th art exhibition, the 46th Festival di Musica, the 52nd Mostra del Cinema.[21]

1999–present[edit]

In 1999 and 2001, Harald Szeemann directed two editions in a row (48th & 49th) bringing in a larger representation of artists from Asia and Eastern Europe and more young artists than usual and expanded the show into several newly restored spaces of the Arsenale.

In 1999 a new sector was created for live shows: DMT (Dance Music Theatre).

The 50th edition, 2003, directed by Francesco Bonami, had a record number of seven co-curators involved, including Hans Ulrich Obrist, Catherine David, Igor Zabel, Hou Hanru and Massimiliano Gioni.

The 51st edition of the Biennale opened in June 2005, curated, for the first time by two women, Maria de Corral and Rosa Martinez. De Corral organized "The Experience of Art" which included 41 artists, from past masters to younger figures. Rosa Martinez took over the Arsenale with "Always a Little Further." Drawing on "the myth of the romantic traveler" her exhibition involved 49 artists, ranging from the elegant to the profane.

In 2007, Robert Storr became the first director from the United States to curate the Biennale (the 52nd), with a show entitled Think with the Senses – Feel with the Mind. Art in the Present Tense.

Swedish curator Daniel Birnbaum was artistic director of the 2009 edition entitled "Fare Mondi // Making Worlds".

The 2011 edition was curated by Swiss curator Bice Curiger entitled "ILLUMInazioni – ILLUMInations".

The Biennale in 2013 was curated by the Italian Massimiliano Gioni. His title and theme, Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace, was adopted from an architectural model by the self-taught Italian-American artist Marino Auriti. Auriti's work, The Encyclopedic Palace of the World was lent by the American Folk Art Museum and exhibited in the first room of the Arsenale for the duration of the biennale. For Gioni, Auriti's work, "meant to house all worldly knowledge, bringing together the greatest discoveries of the human race, from the wheel to the satellite," provided an analogous figure for the "biennale model itself...based on the impossible desire to concentrate the infinite worlds of contemporary art in a single place: a task that now seems as dizzyingly absurd as Auriti's dream."[22]

Curator Okwui Enwezor was responsible for the 2015 edition.[23] He was the first African-born curator of the biennial. As a catalyst for imagining different ways of imagining multiple desires and futures Enwezor commissioned special projects and programs throughout the Biennale in the Giardini. This included a Creative Time Summit, e-flux journal's SUPERCOMMUNITY, Gulf Labor Coalition, The Invisible Borders Trans-African Project and Abounaddara.[24][25]

The 2017 Biennale, titled Viva Arte Viva, was directed by French curator Christine Macel who called it an "exhibition inspired by humanism".[26] German artist Franz Erhard Walter won the Golden Lion for best artist, while Carolee Schneemann was awarded a posthumous Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[27]

The 2019 Biennale, titled May You Live In Interesting Times, was directed by American-born curator Ralph Rugoff.[28]

The 2022 edition was curated by Italian curator Cecilia Alemani entitled "The Milk of Dreams" after a book by British-born Mexican surrealist painter Leonora Carrington.[29]

The Biennale has an attendance today of over 500,000 visitors.[30][31][32]

Role in the art market[edit]

When the Venice Biennale was founded in 1895, one of its main goals was to establish a new market for contemporary art. Between 1942 and 1968 a sales office assisted artists in finding clients and selling their work,[33] a service for which it charged 10% commission. Sales remained an intrinsic part of the biennale until 1968, when a sales ban was enacted. An important practical reason why the focus on non-commodities has failed to decouple Venice from the market is that the biennale itself lacks the funds to produce, ship and install these large-scale works. Therefore, the financial involvement of dealers is widely regarded as indispensable;[16] as they regularly front the funding for production of ambitious projects.[34] Furthermore, every other year the Venice Biennale coincides with nearby Art Basel, the world's prime commercial fair for modern and contemporary art. Numerous galleries with artists on show in Venice usually bring work by the same artists to Basel.[35]

Central Pavilion and Arsenale[edit]

The formal Biennale is based at a park, the Giardini. The Giardini includes a large exhibition hall that houses a themed exhibition curated by the Biennale's director.

Initiated in 1980, the Aperto began as a fringe event for younger artists and artists of a national origin not represented by the permanent national pavilions. This is usually staged in the Arsenale and has become part of the formal biennale programme. In 1995 there was no Aperto so a number of participating countries hired venues to show exhibitions of emerging artists. From 1999, both the international exhibition and the Aperto were held as one exhibition, held both at the Central Pavilion and the Arsenale. Also in 1999, a $1 million renovation transformed the Arsenale area into a cluster of renovated shipyards, sheds and warehouses, more than doubling the Arsenale's exhibition space of previous years.[36]

A special edition of the 54th Biennale was held at Padiglione Italia of Torino Esposizioni – Sala Nervi (December 2011 – February 2012) for the 150th Anniversary of Italian Unification. The event was directed by Vittorio Sgarbi

Given the ephemeral and irregular nature of some biennials, there is little consensus on the exact number of biennials in existence at any given time.[citation needed] Furthermore, while Venice was a unique agent in the presentation of contemporary art, since the 1960s several museums devoted to contemporary art are exhibiting the contemporary scene on a regular basis. Another point of difference concerns 19th century internationalism in the arts, that was brought into question by post-colonial debates and criticism of the contemporary art “ethnic marketing”, and also challenged the Venetian and World Fair’s national representation system. As a consequence of this, Eurocentric tendency to implode the whole word in an exhibition space, which characterises both the Crystal Palace and the Venice Biennale, is affected by the expansion of the artistic geographical map to scenes traditionally considered as marginal. The birth of the Havana Biennial in 1984 is widely considered an important counterpoint to the Venetian model for its prioritization of artists working in the Global South and curatorial rejection of the national pavilion model.

The Venice Biennale (/ˌbiːɛˈnɑːleɪ, -li/; Italian: La Biennale di Venezia) is an international cultural exhibition hosted annually in Venice, Italy by the Biennale Foundation.[2][3][4] The biennale has been organised every year since 1895, which makes it the oldest of its kind. The main exhibition held in Castello, in the halls of the Arsenale and Biennale Gardens, alternates between art and architecture (hence the name biennale; biennial).[5][6][7] The other events hosted by the Foundation—spanning theatre, music, and dance—are held annually in various parts of Venice, whereas the Venice Film Festival takes place at the Lido.[8]

History

1895–1947

On April 19, 1893, the Venetian City Council passed a resolution to set up an biennial exhibition of Italian Art ("Esposizione biennale artistica nazionale") to celebrate the silver anniversary of King Umberto I and Margherita of Savoy.[11]

A year later, the council decreed "to adopt a 'by invitation' system; to reserve a section of the Exhibition for foreign artists too; to admit works by uninvited Italian artists, as selected by a jury."[12]

The first Biennale, "I Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte della Città di Venezia (1st International Art Exhibition of the City of Venice)" (although originally scheduled for April 22, 1894) was opened on April 30, 1895, by the Italian King and Queen, Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia. The first exhibition was seen by 224,000 visitors.

The event became increasingly international in the first decades of the 20th century: from 1907 on, several countries installed national pavilions at the exhibition, with the first being from Belgium. In 1910 the first internationally well-known artists were displayed: a room dedicated to Gustav Klimt, a one-man show for Renoir, a retrospective of Courbet. A work by Picasso "Family of Saltimbanques" was removed from the Spanish salon in the central Palazzo because it was feared that its novelty might shock the public. By 1914 seven pavilions had been established: Belgium (1907), Hungary (1909), Germany (1909), Great Britain (1909), France (1912), and Russia (1914).

During World War I, the 1916 and 1918 events were cancelled.[13] In 1920 the post of mayor of Venice and president of the Biennale was split. The new secretary general, Vittorio Pica brought about the first presence of avant-garde art, notably Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.

1922 saw an exhibition of sculpture by African artists. Between the two World Wars, many important modern artists had their work exhibited there. In 1928 the Istituto Storico d'Arte Contemporanea (Historical Institute of Contemporary Art) opened, which was the first nucleus of archival collections of the Biennale. In 1930 its name was changed into Historical Archive of Contemporary Art.

In 1930, the Biennale was transformed into an Ente Autonomo (Autonomous Board) by Royal Decree with law no. 33 of 13-1-1930. Subsequently, the control of the Biennale passed from the Venice city council to the national Fascist government under Benito Mussolini. This brought on a restructuring, an associated financial boost, as well as a new president, Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata. Three entirely new events were established, including the Biennale Musica in 1930, also referred to as International Festival of Contemporary Music; the Venice Film Festival in 1932, which they claim as the first film festival in history,[14] also referred to as Venice International Film Festival; and the Biennale Theatro in 1934, also referred to as International Theatre Festival.

In 1933 the Biennale organized an exhibition of Italian art abroad. From 1938, Grand Prizes were awarded in the art exhibition section.

During World War II, the activities of the Biennale were interrupted: 1942 saw the last edition of the events. The Film Festival restarted in 1946, the Music and Theatre festivals were resumed in 1947, and the Art Exhibition in 1948.[15]

1948–1973[edit]

The Art Biennale was resumed in 1948 with a major exhibition of a recapitulatory nature. The Secretary General, art historian Rodolfo Pallucchini, started with the Impressionists and many protagonists of contemporary art including Chagall, Klee, Braque, Delvaux, Ensor, and Magritte, as well as a retrospective of Picasso's work. Peggy Guggenheim was invited to exhibit her collection, later to be permanently housed at Ca' Venier dei Leoni.

1949 saw the beginning of renewed attention to avant-garde movements in European—and later worldwide—movements in contemporary art. Abstract expressionism was introduced in the 1950s, and the Biennale is credited with importing Pop Art into the canon of art history by awarding the top prize to Robert Rauschenberg in 1964.[16] From 1948 to 1972, Italian architect Carlo Scarpa did a series of remarkable interventions in the Biennale's exhibition spaces.

In 1954 the island San Giorgio Maggiore provided the venue for the first Japanese Noh theatre shows in Europe. 1956 saw the selection of films following an artistic selection and no longer based upon the designation of the participating country. The 1957 Golden Lion went to Satyajit Ray's Aparajito which introduced Indian cinema to the West.

1962 included Arte Informale at the Art Exhibition with Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung, Emilio Vedova, and Pietro Consagra. The 1964 Art Exhibition introduced continental Europe to Pop Art (The Independent Group had been founded in Britain in 1952). The American Robert Rauschenberg was the first American artist to win the Gran Premio, and the youngest to date.

The student protests of 1968 also marked a crisis for the Biennale. Student protests hindered the opening of the Biennale. A resulting period of institutional changes opened and ending with a new Statute in 1973. In 1969, following the protests, the Grand Prizes were abandoned. These resumed in 1980 for the Mostra del Cinema and in 1986 for the Art Exhibition.[17]

In 1972, for the first time, a theme was adopted by the Biennale, called "Opera o comportamento" ("Work or Behaviour").

Starting from 1973 the Music Festival was no longer held annually. During the year in which the Mostra del Cinema was not held, there was a series of "Giornate del cinema italiano" (Days of Italian Cinema) promoted by sectorial bodies in campo Santa Margherita, in Venice.[18]

1974–1998[edit]

1974 saw the start of the four-year presidency of Carlo Ripa di Meana. The International Art Exhibition was not held (until it was resumed in 1976). Theatre and cinema events were held in October 1974 and 1975 under the title Libertà per il Cile (Freedom for Chile)—a major cultural protest against the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

On 15 November 1977, the so-called Dissident Biennale (in reference to the dissident movement in the USSR) opened. Because of the ensuing controversies within the Italian left wing parties, president Ripa di Meana resigned at the end of the year.[19]

In 1979 the new presidency of Giuseppe Galasso (1979-1982) began. The principle was laid down whereby each of the artistic sectors was to have a permanent director to organise its activity.

In 1980, the Architecture section of the Biennale was set up. The director, Paolo Portoghesi, opened the Corderie dell'Arsenale to the public for the first time. At the Mostra del Cinema, the awards were brought back into being (between 1969 and 1979, the editions were non-competitive). In 1980, Achille Bonito Oliva and Harald Szeemann introduced "Aperto", a section of the exhibition designed to explore emerging art. Italian art historian Giovanni Carandente directed the 1988 and 1990 editions. A three-year gap was left afterwards to make sure that the 1995 edition would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Biennale.[13]

The 1993 edition was directed by Achille Bonito Oliva. In 1995, Jean Clair was appointed to be the Biennale's first non-Italian director of visual arts[20] while Germano Celant served as director in 1997.

For the Centenary in 1995, the Biennale promoted events in every sector of its activity: the 34th Festival del Teatro, the 46th art exhibition, the 46th Festival di Musica, the 52nd Mostra del Cinema.[21]

1999–present[edit]

In 1999 and 2001, Harald Szeemann directed two editions in a row (48th & 49th) bringing in a larger representation of artists from Asia and Eastern Europe and more young artists than usual and expanded the show into several newly restored spaces of the Arsenale.

In 1999 a new sector was created for live shows: DMT (Dance Music Theatre).

The 50th edition, 2003, directed by Francesco Bonami, had a record number of seven co-curators involved, including Hans Ulrich Obrist, Catherine David, Igor Zabel, Hou Hanru and Massimiliano Gioni.

The 51st edition of the Biennale opened in June 2005, curated, for the first time by two women, Maria de Corral and Rosa Martinez. De Corral organized "The Experience of Art" which included 41 artists, from past masters to younger figures. Rosa Martinez took over the Arsenale with "Always a Little Further." Drawing on "the myth of the romantic traveler" her exhibition involved 49 artists, ranging from the elegant to the profane.

In 2007, Robert Storr became the first director from the United States to curate the Biennale (the 52nd), with a show entitled Think with the Senses – Feel with the Mind. Art in the Present Tense.

Swedish curator Daniel Birnbaum was artistic director of the 2009 edition entitled "Fare Mondi // Making Worlds".

The 2011 edition was curated by Swiss curator Bice Curiger entitled "ILLUMInazioni – ILLUMInations".

The Biennale in 2013 was curated by the Italian Massimiliano Gioni. His title and theme, Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace, was adopted from an architectural model by the self-taught Italian-American artist Marino Auriti. Auriti's work, The Encyclopedic Palace of the World was lent by the American Folk Art Museum and exhibited in the first room of the Arsenale for the duration of the biennale. For Gioni, Auriti's work, "meant to house all worldly knowledge, bringing together the greatest discoveries of the human race, from the wheel to the satellite," provided an analogous figure for the "biennale model itself...based on the impossible desire to concentrate the infinite worlds of contemporary art in a single place: a task that now seems as dizzyingly absurd as Auriti's dream."[22]

Curator Okwui Enwezor was responsible for the 2015 edition.[23] He was the first African-born curator of the biennial. As a catalyst for imagining different ways of imagining multiple desires and futures Enwezor commissioned special projects and programs throughout the Biennale in the Giardini. This included a Creative Time Summit, e-flux journal's SUPERCOMMUNITY, Gulf Labor Coalition, The Invisible Borders Trans-African Project and Abounaddara.[24][25]

The 2017 Biennale, titled Viva Arte Viva, was directed by French curator Christine Macel who called it an "exhibition inspired by humanism".[26] German artist Franz Erhard Walter won the Golden Lion for best artist, while Carolee Schneemann was awarded a posthumous Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[27]

The 2019 Biennale, titled May You Live In Interesting Times, was directed by American-born curator Ralph Rugoff.[28]

The 2022 edition was curated by Italian curator Cecilia Alemani entitled "The Milk of Dreams" after a book by British-born Mexican surrealist painter Leonora Carrington.[29]

The Biennale has an attendance today of over 500,000 visitors.[30][31][32]

Role in the art market[edit]

When the Venice Biennale was founded in 1895, one of its main goals was to establish a new market for contemporary art. Between 1942 and 1968 a sales office assisted artists in finding clients and selling their work,[33] a service for which it charged 10% commission. Sales remained an intrinsic part of the biennale until 1968, when a sales ban was enacted. An important practical reason why the focus on non-commodities has failed to decouple Venice from the market is that the biennale itself lacks the funds to produce, ship and install these large-scale works. Therefore, the financial involvement of dealers is widely regarded as indispensable;[16] as they regularly front the funding for production of ambitious projects.[34] Furthermore, every other year the Venice Biennale coincides with nearby Art Basel, the world's prime commercial fair for modern and contemporary art. Numerous galleries with artists on show in Venice usually bring work by the same artists to Basel.[35]

Central Pavilion and Arsenale[edit]

The formal Biennale is based at a park, the Giardini. The Giardini includes a large exhibition hall that houses a themed exhibition curated by the Biennale's director.

Initiated in 1980, the Aperto began as a fringe event for younger artists and artists of a national origin not represented by the permanent national pavilions. This is usually staged in the Arsenale and has become part of the formal biennale programme. In 1995 there was no Aperto so a number of participating countries hired venues to show exhibitions of emerging artists. From 1999, both the international exhibition and the Aperto were held as one exhibition, held both at the Central Pavilion and the Arsenale. Also in 1999, a $1 million renovation transformed the Arsenale area into a cluster of renovated shipyards, sheds and warehouses, more than doubling the Arsenale's exhibition space of previous years.[36]

A special edition of the 54th Biennale was held at Padiglione Italia of Torino Esposizioni – Sala Nervi (December 2011 – February 2012) for the 150th Anniversary of Italian Unification. The event was directed by Vittorio Sgarbi

—--Biennale from wikipedia —--

 

The Venice International Film Festival is part of the Venice Biennale. The famous Golden Lion is awarded to the best film screening at the competition.

Biennale (Italian: [bi.enˈnaːle]), Italian for "biennial" or "every other year", is any event that happens every two years. It is most commonly used within the art world to describe large-scale international contemporary art exhibitions. As such the term was popularised by Venice Biennale, which was first held in 1895. Since the 1990s, the terms "biennale" and "biennial" have been interchangeably used in a more generic way - to signify a large-scale international survey show of contemporary art that recurs at regular intervals but not necessarily biannual (such as triennials, Documenta, Skulptur Projekte Münster).[1] The phrase has also been used for other artistic events, such as the "Biennale de Paris", "Kochi-Muziris Biennale", Berlinale (for the Berlin International Film Festival) and Viennale (for Vienna's international film festival).

Characteristics[edit]

According to author Federica Martini, what is at stake in contemporary biennales is the diplomatic/international relations potential as well as urban regeneration plans. Besides being mainly focused on the present (the “here and now” where the cultural event takes place and their effect of "spectacularisation of the everyday"), because of their site-specificity cultural events may refer back to,[who?] produce or frame the history of the site and communities' collective memory.[2]

 

The Great Exhibition in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, in 1851, the first attempt to condense the representation of the world within a unitary exhibition space.

A strong and influent symbol of biennales and of large-scale international exhibitions in general is the Crystal Palace, the gigantic and futuristic London architecture that hosted the Great Exhibition in 1851. According to philosopher Peter Sloterdijk,[3][page needed] the Crystal Palace is the first attempt to condense the representation of the world in a unitary exhibition space, where the main exhibit is society itself in an a-historical, spectacular condition. The Crystal Palace main motives were the affirmation of British economic and national leadership and the creation of moments of spectacle. In this respect, 19th century World fairs provided a visual crystallization of colonial culture and were, at the same time, forerunners of contemporary theme parks.

The Venice Biennale as an archetype[edit]

 

The structure of the Venice Biennale in 2005 with an international exhibition and the national pavilions.

The Venice Biennale, a periodical large-scale cultural event founded in 1895, served as an archetype of the biennales. Meant to become a World Fair focused on contemporary art, the Venice Biennale used as a pretext the wedding anniversary of the Italian king and followed up to several national exhibitions organised after Italy unification in 1861. The Biennale immediately put forth issues of city marketing, cultural tourism and urban regeneration, as it was meant to reposition Venice on the international cultural map after the crisis due to the end of the Grand Tour model and the weakening of the Venetian school of painting. Furthermore, the Gardens where the Biennale takes place were an abandoned city area that needed to be re-functionalised. In cultural terms, the Biennale was meant to provide on a biennial basis a platform for discussing contemporary art practices that were not represented in fine arts museums at the time. The early Biennale model already included some key points that are still constitutive of large-scale international art exhibitions today: a mix of city marketing, internationalism, gentrification issues and destination culture, and the spectacular, large scale of the event.

Biennials after the 1990s[edit]

The situation of biennials has changed in the contemporary context: while at its origin in 1895 Venice was a unique cultural event, but since the 1990s hundreds of biennials have been organized across the globe. Given the ephemeral and irregular nature of some biennials, there is little consensus on the exact number of biennials in existence at any given time.[citation needed] Furthermore, while Venice was a unique agent in the presentation of contemporary art, since the 1960s several museums devoted to contemporary art are exhibiting the contemporary scene on a regular basis. Another point of difference concerns 19th century internationalism in the arts, that was brought into question by post-colonial debates and criticism of the contemporary art “ethnic marketing”, and also challenged the Venetian and World Fair’s national representation system. As a consequence of this, Eurocentric tendency to implode the whole word in an exhibition space, which characterises both the Crystal Palace and the Venice Biennale, is affected by the expansion of the artistic geographical map to scenes traditionally considered as marginal. The birth of the Havana Biennial in 1984 is widely considered an important counterpoint to the Venetian model for its prioritization of artists working in the Global South and curatorial rejection of the national pavilion model.

The main exhibition held in Castello, in the halls of the Arsenale and Biennale Gardens, alternates between art and architecture (hence the name biennale; biennial).[5][6][7] The other events hosted by the Foundation—spanning theatre, music, and dance—are held annually in various parts of Venice, whereas the Venice Film Festival takes place at the Lido.[8]

History

1895–1947

On April 19, 1893, the Venetian City Council passed a resolution to set up an biennial exhibition of Italian Art ("Esposizione biennale artistica nazionale") to celebrate the silver anniversary of King Umberto I and Margherita of Savoy.[11]

A year later, the council decreed "to adopt a 'by invitation' system; to reserve a section of the Exhibition for foreign artists too; to admit works by uninvited Italian artists, as selected by a jury."[12]

The first Biennale, "I Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte della Città di Venezia (1st International Art Exhibition of the City of Venice)" (although originally scheduled for April 22, 1894) was opened on April 30, 1895, by the Italian King and Queen, Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia. The first exhibition was seen by 224,000 visitors.

The event became increasingly international in the first decades of the 20th century: from 1907 on, several countries installed national pavilions at the exhibition, with the first being from Belgium. In 1910 the first internationally well-known artists were displayed: a room dedicated to Gustav Klimt, a one-man show for Renoir, a retrospective of Courbet. A work by Picasso "Family of Saltimbanques" was removed from the Spanish salon in the central Palazzo because it was feared that its novelty might shock the public. By 1914 seven pavilions had been established: Belgium (1907), Hungary (1909), Germany (1909), Great Britain (1909), France (1912), and Russia (1914).

During World War I, the 1916 and 1918 events were cancelled.[13] In 1920 the post of mayor of Venice and president of the Biennale was split. The new secretary general, Vittorio Pica brought about the first presence of avant-garde art, notably Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.

1922 saw an exhibition of sculpture by African artists. Between the two World Wars, many important modern artists had their work exhibited there. In 1928 the Istituto Storico d'Arte Contemporanea (Historical Institute of Contemporary Art) opened, which was the first nucleus of archival collections of the Biennale. In 1930 its name was changed into Historical Archive of Contemporary Art.

In 1930, the Biennale was transformed into an Ente Autonomo (Autonomous Board) by Royal Decree with law no. 33 of 13-1-1930. Subsequently, the control of the Biennale passed from the Venice city council to the national Fascist government under Benito Mussolini. This brought on a restructuring, an associated financial boost, as well as a new president, Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata. Three entirely new events were established, including the Biennale Musica in 1930, also referred to as International Festival of Contemporary Music; the Venice Film Festival in 1932, which they claim as the first film festival in history,[14] also referred to as Venice International Film Festival; and the Biennale Theatro in 1934, also referred to as International Theatre Festival.

In 1933 the Biennale organized an exhibition of Italian art abroad. From 1938, Grand Prizes were awarded in the art exhibition section.

During World War II, the activities of the Biennale were interrupted: 1942 saw the last edition of the events. The Film Festival restarted in 1946, the Music and Theatre festivals were resumed in 1947, and the Art Exhibition in 1948.[15]

1948–1973[edit]

The Art Biennale was resumed in 1948 with a major exhibition of a recapitulatory nature. The Secretary General, art historian Rodolfo Pallucchini, started with the Impressionists and many protagonists of contemporary art including Chagall, Klee, Braque, Delvaux, Ensor, and Magritte, as well as a retrospective of Picasso's work. Peggy Guggenheim was invited to exhibit her collection, later to be permanently housed at Ca' Venier dei Leoni.

1949 saw the beginning of renewed attention to avant-garde movements in European—and later worldwide—movements in contemporary art. Abstract expressionism was introduced in the 1950s, and the Biennale is credited with importing Pop Art into the canon of art history by awarding the top prize to Robert Rauschenberg in 1964.[16] From 1948 to 1972, Italian architect Carlo Scarpa did a series of remarkable interventions in the Biennale's exhibition spaces.

In 1954 the island San Giorgio Maggiore provided the venue for the first Japanese Noh theatre shows in Europe. 1956 saw the selection of films following an artistic selection and no longer based upon the designation of the participating country. The 1957 Golden Lion went to Satyajit Ray's Aparajito which introduced Indian cinema to the West.

1962 included Arte Informale at the Art Exhibition with Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung, Emilio Vedova, and Pietro Consagra. The 1964 Art Exhibition introduced continental Europe to Pop Art (The Independent Group had been founded in Britain in 1952). The American Robert Rauschenberg was the first American artist to win the Gran Premio, and the youngest to date.

The student protests of 1968 also marked a crisis for the Biennale. Student protests hindered the opening of the Biennale. A resulting period of institutional changes opened and ending with a new Statute in 1973. In 1969, following the protests, the Grand Prizes were abandoned. These resumed in 1980 for the Mostra del Cinema and in 1986 for the Art Exhibition.[17]

In 1972, for the first time, a theme was adopted by the Biennale, called "Opera o comportamento" ("Work or Behaviour").

Starting from 1973 the Music Festival was no longer held annually. During the year in which the Mostra del Cinema was not held, there was a series of "Giornate del cinema italiano" (Days of Italian Cinema) promoted by sectorial bodies in campo Santa Margherita, in Venice.[18]

1974–1998[edit]

1974 saw the start of the four-year presidency of Carlo Ripa di Meana. The International Art Exhibition was not held (until it was resumed in 1976). Theatre and cinema events were held in October 1974 and 1975 under the title Libertà per il Cile (Freedom for Chile)—a major cultural protest against the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

On 15 November 1977, the so-called Dissident Biennale (in reference to the dissident movement in the USSR) opened. Because of the ensuing controversies within the Italian left wing parties, president Ripa di Meana resigned at the end of the year.[19]

In 1979 the new presidency of Giuseppe Galasso (1979-1982) began. The principle was laid down whereby each of the artistic sectors was to have a permanent director to organise its activity.

In 1980, the Architecture section of the Biennale was set up. The director, Paolo Portoghesi, opened the Corderie dell'Arsenale to the public for the first time. At the Mostra del Cinema, the awards were brought back into being (between 1969 and 1979, the editions were non-competitive). In 1980, Achille Bonito Oliva and Harald Szeemann introduced "Aperto", a section of the exhibition designed to explore emerging art. Italian art historian Giovanni Carandente directed the 1988 and 1990 editions. A three-year gap was left afterwards to make sure that the 1995 edition would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Biennale.[13]

The 1993 edition was directed by Achille Bonito Oliva. In 1995, Jean Clair was appointed to be the Biennale's first non-Italian director of visual arts[20] while Germano Celant served as director in 1997.

For the Centenary in 1995, the Biennale promoted events in every sector of its activity: the 34th Festival del Teatro, the 46th art exhibition, the 46th Festival di Musica, the 52nd Mostra del Cinema.[21]

1999–present[edit]

In 1999 and 2001, Harald Szeemann directed two editions in a row (48th & 49th) bringing in a larger representation of artists from Asia and Eastern Europe and more young artists than usual and expanded the show into several newly restored spaces of the Arsenale.

In 1999 a new sector was created for live shows: DMT (Dance Music Theatre).

The 50th edition, 2003, directed by Francesco Bonami, had a record number of seven co-curators involved, including Hans Ulrich Obrist, Catherine David, Igor Zabel, Hou Hanru and Massimiliano Gioni.

The 51st edition of the Biennale opened in June 2005, curated, for the first time by two women, Maria de Corral and Rosa Martinez. De Corral organized "The Experience of Art" which included 41 artists, from past masters to younger figures. Rosa Martinez took over the Arsenale with "Always a Little Further." Drawing on "the myth of the romantic traveler" her exhibition involved 49 artists, ranging from the elegant to the profane.

In 2007, Robert Storr became the first director from the United States to curate the Biennale (the 52nd), with a show entitled Think with the Senses – Feel with the Mind. Art in the Present Tense.

Swedish curator Daniel Birnbaum was artistic director of the 2009 edition entitled "Fare Mondi // Making Worlds".

The 2011 edition was curated by Swiss curator Bice Curiger entitled "ILLUMInazioni – ILLUMInations".

The Biennale in 2013 was curated by the Italian Massimiliano Gioni. His title and theme, Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace, was adopted from an architectural model by the self-taught Italian-American artist Marino Auriti. Auriti's work, The Encyclopedic Palace of the World was lent by the American Folk Art Museum and exhibited in the first room of the Arsenale for the duration of the biennale. For Gioni, Auriti's work, "meant to house all worldly knowledge, bringing together the greatest discoveries of the human race, from the wheel to the satellite," provided an analogous figure for the "biennale model itself...based on the impossible desire to concentrate the infinite worlds of contemporary art in a single place: a task that now seems as dizzyingly absurd as Auriti's dream."[22]

Curator Okwui Enwezor was responsible for the 2015 edition.[23] He was the first African-born curator of the biennial. As a catalyst for imagining different ways of imagining multiple desires and futures Enwezor commissioned special projects and programs throughout the Biennale in the Giardini. This included a Creative Time Summit, e-flux journal's SUPERCOMMUNITY, Gulf Labor Coalition, The Invisible Borders Trans-African Project and Abounaddara.[24][25]

The 2017 Biennale, titled Viva Arte Viva, was directed by French curator Christine Macel who called it an "exhibition inspired by humanism".[26] German artist Franz Erhard Walter won the Golden Lion for best artist, while Carolee Schneemann was awarded a posthumous Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[27]

The 2019 Biennale, titled May You Live In Interesting Times, was directed by American-born curator Ralph Rugoff.[28]

The 2022 edition was curated by Italian curator Cecilia Alemani entitled "The Milk of Dreams" after a book by British-born Mexican surrealist painter Leonora Carrington.[29]

The Biennale has an attendance today of over 500,000 visitors.[30][31][32]

Role in the art market[edit]

When the Venice Biennale was founded in 1895, one of its main goals was to establish a new market for contemporary art. Between 1942 and 1968 a sales office assisted artists in finding clients and selling their work,[33] a service for which it charged 10% commission. Sales remained an intrinsic part of the biennale until 1968, when a sales ban was enacted. An important practical reason why the focus on non-commodities has failed to decouple Venice from the market is that the biennale itself lacks the funds to produce, ship and install these large-scale works. Therefore, the financial involvement of dealers is widely regarded as indispensable;[16] as they regularly front the funding for production of ambitious projects.[34] Furthermore, every other year the Venice Biennale coincides with nearby Art Basel, the world's prime commercial fair for modern and contemporary art. Numerous galleries with artists on show in Venice usually bring work by the same artists to Basel.[35]

Central Pavilion and Arsenale[edit]

The formal Biennale is based at a park, the Giardini. The Giardini includes a large exhibition hall that houses a themed exhibition curated by the Biennale's director.

Initiated in 1980, the Aperto began as a fringe event for younger artists and artists of a national origin not represented by the permanent national pavilions. This is usually staged in the Arsenale and has become part of the formal biennale programme. In 1995 there was no Aperto so a number of participating countries hired venues to show exhibitions of emerging artists. From 1999, both the international exhibition and the Aperto were held as one exhibition, held both at the Central Pavilion and the Arsenale. Also in 1999, a $1 million renovation transformed the Arsenale area into a cluster of renovated shipyards, sheds and warehouses, more than doubling the Arsenale's exhibition space of previous years.[36]

A special edition of the 54th Biennale was held at Padiglione Italia of Torino Esposizioni – Sala Nervi (December 2011 – February 2012) for the 150th Anniversary of Italian Unification. The event was directed by Vittorio Sgarbi

"A felicidade que senti com a realização da cirurgia feita não conseguiu compensar o adoecimento pela quantidade de ofensas que sofri. A fase mais tranquila de minha vida foi o pós-cirúrgico, pois vi um sonho realizado e o acolhimento que recebi do médico e sua equipe, mas ao chegar ao Brasil me vi diante do meu real contexto".

O ÚNICO OUTRO CIRURGIÃO TAILANDÊS CONFIADO PELAS BRASILEIRAS ATÉ ENTÃO ERA INACESSÍVEL PORQUE COBRAVA PELO MENOS 3 VEZES MAIS".

  

No ano de 2004 eu realizei uma cirurgia de redesignação sexual no exterior após o fim do ano letivo deste ano e o último compromisso de trabalho. Aproximadamente, eu viajei dia 22, cheguei no dia 23, mas não pude operar no mesmo dia porque o cirurgião estava cansado por ter realizado outra operação no mesmo dia. Acordei operada no Natal daquele ano, durante a ocasião do Tsunami, lá na Tailândia e me diziam que eu era a primeira brasileira a realizar a cirurgia de redesignação sexual com o médico cirurgião Kamol Pansristum.

Antes de realizar a cirurgia na Tailândia em dezembro de 2004, eu havia iniciado um acompanhamento médico no Hospital Estadual do Rio de Janeiro chamado IEDE em 06/03/2004. Logo na primeira consulta, que foi uma entrevista longa com o Doutor psiquiatra eu relatei a ele, inclusive, um grande abalo psicológico e mental em virtude do meu trabalho na rede de educação municipal de Belford Roxo no cargo de professorx. Caminhavam juntos nesse momento a minha disforia de gênero e o meu adoecimento psicológico e mental. As pessoas questionam se a cirurgia realizada não curaria todos os meus problemas e adoecimentos psicológicos e mentais. Uma coisa é a disforia de gênero com indicação cirúrgica de redesignação sexual. Outra coisa é o transtorno afetivo bipolar. Outra coisa também é o preconceito. Também o assédio moral. Também o bullying, etc.

  

PRECONCEITO ERA RELATADO EM PROCESSOS ADMINISTRATIVOS

"sentimento de tristeza, desânimo, dificuldades para dormir, cheia de pensamentos, irritabilidade, sentindo-se um lixo ..." (texto transcrito do prontuário médico de 15/06/2004 IEDE)

  

Após o psiquiatra do IEDE diagnosticar a transexualidade, ele me encaminhou para o tratamento endócrinológico em março de 2004 iniciando oficialmente o processo transexualizador acompanhado por lá. Juntamente com antidepressivo e ansiolítico sedativo, eu fazia uso de hormônio feminino transdérmico e bloqueador antiandrogênico oral. Quando eu cheguei ao IEDE eu já fazia uso de hormônio, estrogênio e progesterona e tive que mudar o que eu já tomava a partir daí.

  

Usuária Faiza Khálida Fagundes Coutinho - "a pressão social e o constrangimento sofridos fizeram com que apresentasse sintomas de depressão, relatados pela psiquiatra no prontuário da usuária, e este fato a fez deixar de comparecer ao trabalho". IEDE from Ruim no Psicológico .por PRECONCEITO, BULLYING, INJUSTIÇA

  

O hormônio estrogênio mexe com o psicológico e com o mental assim como a medicação psicotrópica também. Um dos sintomas que se desenvolveram em mim foi a depressão por exemplo. Eu já sentia depressão quando cheguei ao Hospital do IEDE e essa questão foi relatada em prontuário médico do Hospital. Outra questão agravante, era que eu tinha também o transtorno afetivo bipolar que só foi diagnosticado uns 7 anos depois. É normal haver o diagnóstico demorado do transtorno bipolar. O uso dos remédios psicotrópicos podem piorar o quadro de quem tem o transtorno bipolar quando não se tem a ciência desta doença mental, eclodindo mania, euforia, quadros de humor e sintomas psicóticos por exemplo.

  

Diagnóstico do transtorno bipolar leva até 10 anos ou mais

  

DOCUMENTOS MÉDICOS EM PROCESSOS ADMINISTRATIVOS DE 2003 JÁ APONTAVAM DEPRESSÃO E ADOECIMENTO PSÍQUICO E MENTAL

Em 2009 nos primeiros meses, eu estive na secretaria municipal de educação levada por uma amiga também funcionária pública municipal da rede de educação de Belford Roxo mostrando o documento médico psiquiátrico da médica que me acompanhava desde maio de 2008 cientificando a Prefeitura Municipal essas minhas realidades a fim de comprovação médica: que eu estava doente, em acompanhamento psiquiátrico, usando medicação psicotrópica, comprometida psicológica e mentalmente para o trabalho e para a vida social; mas o próprio gestor da secretaria de educação, coagido, 2 semanas depois, me disse que iria esquecer que ele tinha recebido ciência desse documento médico porque ele estava sendo pressionado pelo supervisor educacional da secretaria municipal de educação que também atuava como assessor jurídico da procuradoria de Belford Roxo Jorge Silva. O interesse e a mobilização do grupo dominante da Prefeitura Municipal de Belford Roxo era pela minha condenação, pela minha exclusão e pelo silenciamento do que eu passava e passei inclusive em relação a minha saúde psicológica e mental.

O meu diagnóstico do transtorno bipolar foi fechado apenas em 2011 e somente após o diagnóstico houve melhora. Antes, eu tomava entre as medicações o antidepressivo por indicação médica mas sem considerar essa realidade, podendo isso ter contribuído para os outros quadros graves que eu apresentei como euforia e sintomas psicóticos.

  

Devido à intensificação de transtornos de ordem psicológica, no ano de 2008 a usuária Faiza Khálida faltou sucessivamente. A usuária Faiza Khálida desde maio de 2008 encontrava-se sob os cuidados da médica psiquiatra Dra. - RIO SEM HOMOFOBIA from Ruim no Psicológico .por PRECONCEITO, BULLYING, INJUSTIÇA

  

Em 2015 um médico psiquiatra do posto de saúde público municipal de Duque de Caxias que também já me medicou e uma psicóloga perita que faz inclusive perícias para o Tribunal de Justiça do estado do Rio de Janeiro me falaram que o uso dos hormônios durante o meu processo transexualizador também ajudou que eu tivesse apresentado esse quadro de adoecimento mental grave que me levou a demissão nas minhas duas matrículas municipais de Belford Roxo.

As perícias concluíram que não apenas o uso e o não uso dos hormônios e o uso das medicações psicotrópicas, mas também as alterações bioquímicas e hormonais ocorridas durante este processo influenciaram neste quadro de adoecimento juntamente com as questões que me eram estressoras relacionadas ao preconceito, assédio e bullying no trabalho.

Em 2010 os processos administrativos realizados pela Procuradoria Municipal de Belford Roxo e que originaram os atos administrativos que me demitiram não consideraram que eu estava doente conforme relatam as diversas referências médicas.

 

Os processos que levaram aos atos administrativos que me demitiram também não consideraram o processo transexualizador que eu realizava tão conhecido publicamente pelos Procuradores Municipais e funcionários das diversas secretarias do município de Belford Roxo como a de educação e das escolas em que eu trabalhava.

  

O uso dos medicamentos que eu fazia também não foram considerados nestes processos.

A pressão social, a vulnerabilidade social, os problemas sociais presentes como a transfobia relatada pelo Jornal Extra em 2008, a homofobia relatada em processos administrativos e o bullying escolar também não foram citados. Nem mesmo os setores de Assistência Social e Direitos Humanos da Prefeitura Municipal de Belford Roxo e a coordenadoria LGBT (Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Travestis, Transexuais e Transgêneros) me ligaram ou procuraram para me dar uma palavra de conforto, assistência. Até esses setores que deveriam apoiar grupos marginalizados foram também dominados pelo grupo político dominante.

  

Embora a Secretaria de Assistência Social e Direitos Humanos e a Coordenadoria LGBT da Prefeitura Municipal de Belford Roxo saibam da situação de vulnerabilidade, dificuldade, isolamento, exclusão e carência de apoio e serviços públicos que muitas transexuais e transgêneros se encontram na escola, no trabalho e na sociedade, eu nunca fui procurada por esses setores responsáveis pela assistência social a LGBTs da Prefeitura Municipal. Em 2011, me foi dito na SEMPOPU (Secretaria Municipal de Políticas Públicas de Belford Roxo) que eu parasse de recorrer da minha demissão, que eu parasse de apresentar documentos e pareceres médicos comprobatórios e não aparecesse mais na Prefeitura mesmo se ainda tivesse algo a dizer já que eu não era bem-vinda.

6- Diretora Vera Lúcia Castelar (mat. 53165) preparou relatório técnico criminoso em 2002 para me afastar da Escola Municipal São Bentos nas 2 matrículas. Eu fui ameaçada de ruína completa por causa deste relatório pela subsecretária de educação Rosângela Maria Gonçalves de Oliveira em 2002 e ameaçada de morte caso chegasse a 100 metros da escola em que eu trabalhava sofrendo discriminação. Após eu pedir reparação pelos DANOS, AMEAÇAS, CONSTRANGIMENTOS E TRAUMAS que me ocorreram por causa deste relatório técnico analisado também pelos 8 supervisores educacionais entre eles Jorge Silva (mat. 54368) , Antônio Carlos Lustosa (mat. 54434) e Joelma Milão, o relatório sumiu dentro da secretaria municipal de educação de Belford Roxo sendo anunciado em 2005 como se ele nunca tivesse existido. Eu continuava sendo tratada como homem na secretaria de educação mesmo após cirurgia transgenital.

  

7- Em 2005 a reportagem do Jornal O Dia informava que eu havia começado a tomar hormônios 3 anos antes em processo transexualizador. Mesmo após cirurgia e decisão judicial o nome social ainda não era mudado no diário da escola e na ficha funcional. Nesse momento o diretor da escola municipal Jorge Ayres me proibia de usar saia ou vestido conforme relatei em processo de 2006.

  

8- Em 2007, voltei a caminhar para o agravamento do meu estado mental revivendo traumas do passado na rede de educação em Belford Roxo após orientadora Conceição dizer que eu deveria sair da escola por ser transexual, promover inquérito administrativo disciplinar contra mim, ameaça de morte e dificuldades como abaixo-assinado para sair da escola.

 

20/08/2007 - A Sra Faiza Khálida apresentava tristeza, falta de prazer nas atividades, choro fácil, irritabilidade, impaciência com os alunos (era professora), insônia, ansiedade, cefaleias frequentes E DIFICULDADES PARA CUMPRIR SUAS TAREFAS NO TRABALHO from Ruim no Psicológico .por PRECONCEITO, BULLYING, INJUSTIÇA

IEDE from Ruim no Psicológico .por PRECONCEITO, BULLYING, INJUSTIÇA

  

9- Em dezembro de 2007, Procurador-Geral de Belford Roxo Lorival Almeida de Oliveira e José Domingos Lucena abriram inquérito promovido pela orientadora Conceição que me dizia que eu não podia estar na escola Jorge Ayres por ser transexual. A advogada da Secretaria Estadual de Direitos Difusos pediu cópia do processo para ela poder me defender. Não me foi permitido ter cópia do processo nem mesmo quando fui intimada a assinar a punição administrativa na secretaria de educação, sendo lá tratada como homem.

  

10- O contexto profissional em 2008 me causava abatimento e depressão, os meus 2 aparelhos de som que eu utilizava para dar aulas foram roubados ao mesmo tempo nas 2 escolas municipais em que eu lecionava. A orientadora da escola teria tratado com o rapaz que entrou na escola para danificar minha câmera digital na sala dos professores na frente dela.

  

11- O relatório discriminatório da diretora Vera Lucia Castelar em 2003 me ocasionou diversos danos inclusive psicológicos, mentais e administrativos, este relatório foi usado para me ameaçar, coagir e chantagear. No relatório técnico da diretora constava a mentira que eu não havia entregado o planejamento. Isso causava indignação inclusive da professora que havia entregado o planejamento junto comigo.

12- Em 2008 eu não conseguia desenvolver as minhas atividades devido ao meu quadro mental. A pressão social e o constrangimento sofrido fizeram com que eu apresentasse sintomas como depressão relatados em prontuários médicos, e este fato me fez deixar de comparecer ao trabalho.

  

13- Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Belford Roxo e Procuradoria Municipal silenciaram o preconceito que eu passei na rede pública de educação.

  

14- O julgamento fundamentalista religioso moral condenatório da identidade de gênero e da orientação sexual, piadinhas, deboches, ofensas, agressões e desrespeitos no trabalho me causavam cefaleia, choro, tristeza, ideação suicida e depressão desde 2003. Esse preconceito social cisnormativo me levava ao sofrimento e a ideação suicida.

  

15- A médica psiquiatra atestou em maio de 2008 que dificilmente haveria solução do meu quadro de adoecimento mental porque não havia resolução dos problemas sociais e referentes ao meu trabalho que me estressavam.

  

16- Para me condenar em inquérito administrativo disciplinar, procurador-geral de Belofrd Roxo Lorival Almeida de Oliveira mentiu em processo declarando que eu havia recebido cópia de processo, não permitindo que a advogada da Secretaria Estadual de Direitos Humanos e Difusos do Estado do Rio de Janeiro recebesse cópia do processo.

  

17- Orientadora pedagógica mobilizava para me tirar da escola. Vivenciava o isolamento.

  

18- Funcionários públicos municipais de Belford Roxo desrespeitavam a identidade de gênero de transexuais e transgêneros.

  

19- Transfobia que sofri no banheiro da Prefeitura em 13/10/2008 com o subsecretário Paulo Allevato RG 3473270 IFP.

  

20- Uma semana após eu ser levada em 2009 a secretaria municipal de educação de Belford Roxo por uma colega também funcionária pública do município mostrando ao subsecretário de educação Miguel de Sousa Ramiro o laudo médico atestando que eu estava comprometida para o trabalho e para a vida social, o subsecretário municipal de educação Miguel de Sousa Ramiro me disse pelo seu telefone celular que esqueceria que ele tinha conhecimento do laudo médico psiquiátrico porque ele tinha que obedecer as ordens do supervisor Jorge Silva (mat. 54368).

    

21- Em tudo o que me acontecia no meu trabalho de professora da rede municipal de Belford Roxo, nos documentos e relatórios administrativos, não era admitida essa realidade que eu enfrentava com todos os medos, embates, incertezas, discriminações, constrangimentos, prejuízos emocionais e psicológicos. Na escola, eu me sentia um ser do outro mundo em espetáculo circense, alvo do julgamento, conceitos e preconceitos de todos os agentes. As mudanças hormonais, físicas e cerebrais também não eram levadas em conta quando se avaliava minha conduta profissional. Eu era uma funcionária pública julgada fora da minha realidade que eu sou, fui e vivia. Somadas as alterações físicas eu tinha osteopenia, hérnias de disco com irradiação nas pernas e braços, fraturas, grande redução e aumento de peso chegando aos 100 kg, pressão alta e baixa. Eu atravessava um processo transexualizador. O direito à saúde que eu tinha por ser diagnosticada transexual não era apenas a questão da cirurgia transgenital paga com minhas economias de trabalho. Era um processo de adequação física, psicológica,mental, profissional, afetiva e social.

  

22- Relatório, ocorrência, inquérito, reunião e abaixo-assinado pela minha saída da escola municipal Jorge Ayres de Lima a partir da chegada da orientadora Conceição em 2007.

  

23- História - professora Faiza Khálida da rede municipal de educação de Belford Roxo.

  

24- Procuradora Municipal Débora Fernandes C. Pinto (mat. 80/28.585) indicada e fundamentalista religiosa, de posse do meu laudo médico psiquiátrico comprobatório de transtorno bipolar incapacitante, CRM, endereço e telefone da médica que me avaliava desde maio de 2008 e relato sobre problemas sociais relacionados a transexualidade, transfobia, homofobia, assédio e bullying, ignorou tudo e negou por 2 vezes a solicitação determinando que eu ficasse excluída do serviço público de Belford Roxo municipal.

  

25- A minha doença transtorno bipolar com sintomas psicóticos.

  

Louvado O Senhor Jesus Cristo para sempre.

CASTELLANO

Aigues-Mortes (en occitano Aigas Mòrtas) es una municipalidad francesa y localidad del Distrito de Nîmes, en Gard, Languedoc-Rosellón, Francia.

 

Es conocida por ser el primer puerto francés del Mediterráneo y una importante bastida medieval.

 

La ciudad se encuentra totalmente amurallada, en una obra comenzada por el genovés Guglielmo Boccanegra, y que han llegado intactas hasta nuestros días.

 

Desde su fundación hasta el año 1481 fue el principal puerto francés del Mediterráneo, siendo primada por el rey Luis IX de Francia y sus sucesores. Por ello, fue el punto de partida de las cruzadas desde Francia, hasta la anexión de Marsella en 1481.

----------------------

 

ENGLISH

Aigues-Mortes (Occitan: Aigas Mòrtas, i.e. "dead waters") is a commune in the Gard department in southern France. The medieval city walls surrounding the city are well preserved.

 

The foundation of the city is attributed to Gaius Marius, around 102 BC, but the first document mentioning a place called "Ayga Mortas" (dead waters) dates from the 10th century AD.

 

Louis IX of France (Saint Louis) rebuilt the port in the 13th century as France's only Mediterranean port at that time. It was the embarkation point of the Seventh Crusade (1248) and the Eighth Crusade (1270).

The 1,650 meters of city walls were built in two phases: the first during the reign of Philippe III the Bold and the second during the reign of Philippe IV the Fair, who had the enclosure completed between 1289 and 1300. The Constance Tower, completed in 1248, is all that remains of the castle built in Louis IX's reign. It was designed to be impregnable with six-meter-thick walls. A spiral staircase leads to the different levels of the tower.

 

From 1575 to 1622, Aigues-Mortes was one of the eight safe havens granted to the Protestants. The revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 caused severe repression of Protestantism, which was marked in Languedoc and the Cévennes in the early 18th century by the "Camisard War". Like other towers in the town, from 1686 onwards, the Constance Tower was used as a prison for the Huguenots who refused to convert to Roman Catholicism. In 1703, Abraham Mazel, leader of the Camisards, managed to escape with sixteen companions.

 

In 1893, a conflict erupted between the French and the Italians who worked in the salt evaporation ponds of Peccais. The Massacre of Italians at Aigues-Mortes resulted in nine (maybe many more: 400 victims in Le migrazioni di ieri e di oggi by Giovanni Gozzini)[1] Italian deaths with hundreds injured in the ethnic violence.

4.0-liter Tipo 209 V12 cylinders (330 cc per cylinder)

300 CV @ 6600 rpm

Number of units produced: 50 examples

Production period: 1963

 

The Ferrari 330 America is a hermaphrodite introduced by Ferrari in 1963 as the successor of the 250.

 

The 330 America was simply a 250 GT/E with a larger engine, the new 4.0 L Tipo 209 V12, with 300 CV @ 6600 rpm.

 

"330" refers to the approximate displacement of each single cylinder.

 

All 330 models used an evolution of the 400 Superamerica's 4.0 L Colombo V12 engine. It was substantially changed for the 330 cars, however, with wider bore spacing and the notable use of a true alternator rather than a dynamo generator.

 

The 330 GTC/GTS (598/100 examples 1966-1968) shared their chassis with the 275, only the 330 GT 2+2 (1099 examples, 1964-1967) was a truly unique product.

 

Ferrari 275 und 330 GT 2+2 have their transmission at the rear-axle (transaxle-layout) for better weight distribution.

Geoffroy normally works with art formats like the EMERGENCY ROOM

to stimulate urgent expression by artist about today 's emergencies :

www.emergencyrooms.org

  

www.colonel.dk contact : emergencyrooms@gmail.comThierry Geoffroy/ Colonel will be exhibiting in the museum Kunsthalle Mannheim from october 2018 part of the exhibition Konstruktion der Welt .Kunst und Ökonomie

 

Constructing the World: Art and Economy 1919-1939 and 2008-2018

10/12/18 to 02/03/19

 

Ten years after the peak of the global financial crisis in 2008, which profoundly shook the economic systems of America and Europe and had a lasting effect on present-day life, this topical exhibition is the first to illustrate the economy’s dramatic influence on art and to make global comparisons, demonstrating these in an analysis of two separate eras. Economic phenomena in the classical modernism of the 1920s and 30s are not only explored by focusing on art from the German Weimar Republic, the Soviet Union, and the United States, but also juxtaposed with artists of the present day.

 

Curatorial team: Dr. Eckhart Gillen (Berlin), Dr. Ulrike Lorenz, Dr. Sebastian Baden

Project Lead: Dr. Inge Herold, Assistence: Lisa Valentina Riedel, M. A. mult., Elisabeth Bohnet, M.A.

 

How does contemporary art reflect the world of work today? The catalogue for the second part of the exhibition Constructing the World at the Kunsthalle Mannheim takes a look at this question. The focus of it is primarily on artistic positions of the past decade that deal with the social, political, and economic effects of the most recent economic crisis after 2008. The works address and interrogate new production conditions and developments on the labor market as well as political conflicts. The accompanying publication provides fascinating insights into the diverse artistic positions.

The Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I.

 

The Limited Edition collection honours the remarkable artistic and architectural achievements of Aztec culture, and the influence of one of its great leaders, Moctezuma I.

 

Every spring since 1992, Montblanc introduces the Patron of Art pen collection which pays tribute to those who exemplify the importance of art patronage throughout the world. The stellar names include Peggy Guggenheim, Pope Julius II and the latest being Roman emperor Publius Aelius Hadrianus. The Homage to Hadrian pen collection features gold-coated cones and cap tops, a reflection of the Roman buildings commissioned by Hadrian. This year’s Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I continues to be a fantastic example of Montblanc’s expertise in pen making.

 

Moctezuma I (1398-1469) also known as Moctezuma Ilhuicamina was the second Aztec emperor and fifth king of Tenochtitlan, ruling from 1440 to 1469. Under his reign, Tenochtitlan, which is now the center of Mexico City, blossomed thanks to social, economical and political reforms. The limited edition designs are released as part of the Patron of Art Homage that honours the remarkable artistic and architectural achievements of Moctezuma I. To coincide with the release of the Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Editions, Montblanc is introducing a fine stationery notebook in red calfskin Saffiano leather embossed with traditional Aztec motifs.

 

The latest Montblanc Patron of the Art Limited Edition 2020 collection is their Ode to Moctezuma 1 the ruler, who has shaped the image of Aztec culture and remains a great inspiration to write our own legacy. I really hope that the glyphs that are on the side of the fountain pen were chosen for their content and not just for an artistic flair. Contacting a Mayan scholar such as Floyd G Lounsbury would have upgraded their end product. I will try to locate and contact his colleagues to spread the word as they should have sufficiently deep pockets to drop the penny. Limited to 87 pieces.

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Lounsbury

 

Beginning in 1938 with his contributions to the Green Bay, Wisconsin-based Oneida Language and Folklore Project, while he was still an undergraduate, Floyd Lounsbury sustained a lifelong interest in indigenous languages—especially those, such as Oneida and Cherokee, in the Iroquoian family. His doctoral dissertation, published in 1953 as Oneida Verb Morphology, remains to this day the scholar’s bible for the basic structure and terminology of Iroquoian languages.

 

Iroquoian linguistics was not, however, Lounsbury’s only academic focus. He worked in acoustic phonetics and speech recognition; he refined new ways to teach linguistics, particularly with respect to field methods; he critiqued lexicostatistics and glottochronology; he wrote on the psychology of language; and he published on the history of anthropology. He was one of the most sought-after and influential anthropological linguists of his time.

 

Born and raised in Wisconsin farming communities, Lounsbury enrolled at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1932. He took nearly a decade to complete his undergraduate program because of the Great Depression’s economic necessities, but the extended period also allowed him to come in contact with a wide array of linguists and anthropologists and to adopt a thoughtful and measured approach to undergraduate education. Lounsbury majored in mathematics but also studied languages—primarily German but also Latin, Greek, Scandinavian languages, and Old Irish—along with phonetics, phonology, philology, and emerging theories of structuralist linguistics. After receiving his Ph.D. in anthropology from Yale University in 1949, Lounsbury accepted an appointment to its Department of Anthropology and remained at Yale until his retirement in 1979. Whether in classes, conferences, workshops, or personal conversation, Lounsbury’s students and colleagues considered him ever humble, generous, and insightful, with a prodigious memory for detail, a wide-ranging curiosity, and a formidable intellect.

Fountain Pen Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810. USD$13,000.00

Limited to 87 pieces.

 

www.montblanc.com/en-ca/collection/writing-instruments/pa...

 

Moctezuma I was crowned ruler of the great Aztec Empire in 1440, thereby ushering in the golden age of the Aztecs. During his reign, he shaped the image of the Aztec state that we are familiar with today – one rich in culture and mythology. The capital city of Tenochtitlán, today’s Mexico City, blossomed under his rule. The Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810 with champagne-tone gold-coated fittings is dedicated to this supreme ruler of one of the most special cultures in world history. The overall design is inspired by an "atlatl", an Aztec spear-throwing device. The shape of the cone, refined with a hammer finish, is based on an Aztec sacrificial knife with an obsidian blade. The lacquer colors – petrol and carmine red – are inspired by the colors of the royal cloak. Two hieroglyphs decorating the cap symbolize the years of Moctezuma I's reign. The handcrafted Au 750 solid gold nib is adorned with a fine engraving inspired by the Aztec glyph for the city of Tenochtitlán: a three-armed cactus with a royal diadem and two scrolls.

Features

Clip: Champagne-tone gold-coated clip

Barrel: Red lacquered barrel

Cap: Pattern on cap underneath translucent petrol lacquer

NIB: Handcrafted Au 750 / 18 K solid gold, champagne-tone gold-coated nib with special design.

 

Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 8

 

This edition, which comprises just eight pieces, is all about the pageantry of Moctezuma I and the Templo Mayor. The pen features an 18-karat champagne-tone gold cap whose elongated shape is set with diamonds, garnets, green tsavorites and multi-coloured sapphires. It is also decorated with a hand engraving of the winged Huitzilopochtli, patron god of the Aztecs.

 

Three-dimensional engravings of an eagle and cactus represent the foundation myth of the Aztec capital, while the two double-headed snakes symbolize renewal, fertility and luck. The spear-shaped clip is embellished with a triangular-cut green jade, and the cap crown sparkles with a Montblanc diamond. The barrel of the writing instrument is made of dark red jasper, with 18-karat champagne-tone gold inlays.

 

Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 87 - 2020

 

This version is limited to just 87 pieces in homage to 1987, the year when the Templo Mayor was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list. The Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 87 employs turquoise, which is a familiar stone used in Aztec decoration, and Central American cocobolo wood, a reference to the material used to make the traditional atlatl.

 

The mosaic is handcrafted, making every one of the pieces in the edition unique. The mother-of-pearl Montblanc emblem is embedded in an engraving of a traditional Aztec sun disc on the cap crown.

 

The handcrafted 18-karat gold gold nib is engraved with a glyph denoting the heart, a symbol of sacrifice. A further glyph engraved represents the second name of Moctezuma I: Ilhuicamina (meaning, “He who shoots an arrow into the sky.”).

 

Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 888

 

The colors of this edition–turquoise and carmine–were used in fashioning royal garments. The sterling silver pen cap is artfully engraved with a traditional Aztec décor, and the lacquered barrel is engraved with a pattern again reminiscent of Moctezuma I’s cloak. It features four lines in 18-karat champagne-tone gold, evoking the directions that radiated from the Templo Mayor, the main temple and the literal center of the Aztec world.

 

The spear-shaped clip features an engraving of a quetzal’s feather, and it is set with a triangular-cut green jade. The forepart of the writing instrument and the cone are crafted from sterling silver, contrasting with the 18-karat champagne-tone gold fittings and the handcrafted solid gold nib. The Montblanc emblem, made of mother-of-pearl, is embedded in the engraving of an Aztec sun disk.

 

On. The right: Montblanc 888 Edition estimate C$3-4,000.00 plus tax.

This is an Egard Watch Company - Quantus V3 Mayan Limited Edition wristwatch which arrived with a Rose Gold wrist band. It arrived with a black/blue rubber strap as well as a brown leather strap with a rose gold clasp.

 

I suggest that you visit their website to see their currently available products; and to search YouTube for Egard Watch Co. and the newscast discussing corporate reactions to their well done pro police video. They expected to ship our watch order in September 2020, but with COVID-19 being so active in California, we will not be surprised by a delay in shipping. It’s difficult to wait patiently as our expectations are so high. FedEx delivered it on Oct. 1, 2020. As anticipated we had to pay 13% GST taxes through FedEx to CBSA by phone before the delivery could be made. I’m thrilled with this purchase. I hope that it lasts my lifetime; and because of my age it likely will. It turned out to be too heavy for MAC to wear comfortably.

 

This watch curves around the wearer’s wrist. It normally ships with both a black rubber strap and a black leather strap, but because of our rose gold watch order, MAC ordered it with a brown leather strap. The black rubber strap is the default strap.

Limited Edition to 3,000 (made in limited batches). Mine is 2197/3000. As of Oct. 4, 2020 this watch in this colour is not shown for sale on their website.

Case size: 43mm.

Case Material: Two piece curved 316L stainless steel.

Strap Width: 22mm.

Movement: Modified dual balance wheel, Manual wind Mechanical movement made in collaboration with Jinghe Ind.

Glass: Uniquely curved sapphire crystal.

Strap: High grade rubber + additional free full grain italian leather strap.

The festival usually runs at the same time as the nearby Sapporo Snow Festival, making it possible for travelers in Hokkaido to visit both festivals on the same trip. See www.japan-guide.com

Our Lady & The English Martyrs, Cambridge

 

stepneyrobarts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/our-lady-english-ma...

 

Yesterday I revisited St Peter for internals and finished of Cambridge, visiting seven Victorian built churches only one of which, Our Lady & The English Martyrs, is worth writing up.

 

At first sight I wrote OLEM off as a Victorian Gothic monstrosity but as I wandered around the exterior I was struck by the quality of the building and the interior stunned me with lots of rather good glass and impressive architecture (oh and apart from three revisits, Babraham, Guilden Morden and Stow cum Quy, that finished the north west quadrant).

 

The Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, or OLEM, is situated in the heart of the city of Cambridge. An imposing example of the 19th Century Gothic Revival, it was built to the designs of Dunn & Hansom of Newcastle between 1885 and 1890, and founded solely by Mrs Yolande Marie Louise Lyne-Stephens, a former ballet dancer at the Paris Opera and Drury Lane, London, and widow of a wealthy banker. She promised to build the church on the feast of Our Lady of the Assumption, and Monsignor Christopher Scott - the first Rector - also wished to commemorate the Catholic Martyrs who died between 1535 and 1681, over thirty of whom had been in residence at the University.

 

Designed by architects Dunn and Hansom of Newcastle and built by the Cambridge firm of Rattee and Kett, OLEM is constructed in Casterton, Ancaster and Combe Down Stone. The church is a traditional cruciform structure in the early-decorated style with a large tower at the crossing, a polygonal apse and a west bell tower with a 65-metre spire, visible for miles around Cambridge. Quite often, it is quoted by visitors and local residents as a location point. The approximate internal dimensions of the church are: length 48 meters [156 ft] width across the aisles 16 meters [51 ft] width at the transepts 22 meters [71 ft], the height of the nave 15 meters [71ft].

 

Inside and over the west door stands the figure of Our Lady of the Assumption crowned with lilies and standing on the crescent moon with the vanquished serpent beneath. The west window shows the English Martyrs arranged in two principal groups, the clergy on the south side with St John Fisher in their midst and the laity on the north grouped round St Thomas More.

 

Beside the South aisle is an ancient statue of Our Lady with the Child Jesus. This statue is understood to be a gift in 1850 from Emmanuel College, which was built on the site of a Dominican Priory dating back to 1274. The Church of the Black Friars of Cambridge contained a statue of Our Blessed Lady to which much pilgrimage was had. Although unconfirmed this could be that statue.

 

The Chapel of the Holy Souls with the book of Remembrance is located at the west end of the south aisle. The sculpture above the altar depicts the solace and relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory through the intercession of Our Lady and the angel who comforted Our Lord in Gethsemane. The Chapel is now appropriately used at the two great Christian celebrations: at Easter for the Empty Tomb indicating the Risen Lord, and at Christmas for the Crib.

 

The aisle windows were almost completely destroyed when the church was struck by a bomb on 1941, but were subsequently replaced in their original form. They epitomise the various sufferings of the English Martyrs, their being brought before the Council, racked, hung, drawn and quartered in the sight and sympathy of the faithful. The windows of the north aisle portray Carthusians, St Thomas Moore, B. Margaret Pole and others, while the south aisle is made a “Fisher Aisle”, devoted to scenes from the life of St John, Cardinal Bishop of Rochester, who in so many important ways is identified with Cambridge.

 

The best general impression of the interior is obtained from the gateway in the iron screen dividing the nave from the ante-chapel. The heads of the four great preachers of Our Lady’s Graces are carved in the four corners of the nave. The windows along the nave represent saints connected with the Church in Britain, arranged approximately in chronological order from east to west with a few additional figures in the eastern windows.

 

The Rood which is between the nave and the sanctuary is of the type known as “Majestas”; the figure of Our Lord, with glorified wounds, robed in alb, stole and pallium [as High Priest] and crowned [as King “reigning from the Tree”]. This was the earliest type of crucifix; the realistic figure, now almost universal, did not come into general use until the beginning of the thirteenth century. The cross, inspired by that at Nuremberg, is about 6 metres high, carved in oak; the figures of Christ and of Our Lady and of Saint John are of Kauri pine. They were carved locally by Mr. B. Maclean Leach and completed and blessed in 1914.

 

Beyond the present, modern altar is the High Altar with the relics of Saints Felix and Constantia, martyrs of the early Church. The tabernacle and ornaments of the altar are of exquisite French workmanship from Lyons. The baldacchino which covers the High Altar is similar to that over the tomb of Robert the Wise (1275-1343) at Santa Chiara, Naples. It is one of the earliest forms of adornment of a Christian altar. At the top is the figure of Our Lord in glory supported on each side by angels in act of adoration.

 

The design and the re-ordering of the sanctuary was done by Mr. Gerard Goalen of Harlow after the Second Vatican Council. On 7th April, 1973, Bishop Charles Grant consecrated the present central. The original High Altar has subsequently been used mainly for reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.

«Για όσους θα σωθούν, η χρηστική αξία του Πνεύματος είναι πολύ κατώτερη από αυτή της σάρκας: Το έργο του Πνεύματος είναι ικανό να καλύψει ολόκληρο το σύμπαν, να διαπεράσει όλα τα βουνά, τα ποτάμια, τις λίμνες και τους ωκεανούς, αλλά το έργο της σάρκας σχετίζεται πιο αποτελεσματικά με κάθε άτομο, με το οποίο έχει επαφή. Επιπλέον, η σάρκα του Θεού με απτή μορφή μπορεί να γίνει καλύτερα κατανοητή και να την εμπιστευτεί ο άνθρωπος και μπορεί να εμβαθύνει περαιτέρω τη γνώση του ανθρώπου για τον Θεό και να αφήσει στον άνθρωπο μια πιο βαθιά εντύπωση για τις πραγματικές πράξεις του Θεού. Το έργο του Πνεύματος περιβάλλεται από μυστήριο κι έτσι, είναι δύσκολο για τα θνητά όντα να το κατανοήσουν κι ακόμα πιο δύσκολο να το δουν κι έτσι, μπορούν να στηριχθούν μόνο σε κενές φαντασιώσεις. Το έργο της σάρκας, ωστόσο, είναι κανονικό, βασίζεται στην πραγματικότητα, διαθέτει πλούσια σοφία και είναι γεγονός που μπορεί να παρατηρηθεί και από τα μάτια του ανθρώπου. Ο άνθρωπος μπορεί προσωπικά να βιώσει τη σοφία του έργου του Θεού και δεν χρειάζεται να χρησιμοποιεί την πλούσια φαντασία του. Αυτή είναι η ακρίβεια και η πραγματική αξία του έργου του ενσαρκωμένου Θεού. Το Πνεύμα μπορεί να κάνει μόνο πράγματα που είναι αόρατα για τον άνθρωπο και που είναι δύσκολο να τα φανταστεί κανείς, όπως, για παράδειγμα, η διαφώτιση του Πνεύματος, η κίνηση του Πνεύματος και η καθοδήγηση του Πνεύματος, αλλά για τον νοήμονα άνθρωπο, αυτά δεν παρέχουν κάποιο σαφές νόημα. Παρέχουν μόνο ένα συγκινητικό ή ένα ευρύ νόημα και δεν μπορούν να δώσουν οδηγίες με λέξεις. Το έργο του ενσαρκωμένου Θεού, ωστόσο, είναι πολύ διαφορετικό: Έχει ακριβή καθοδήγηση μέσω λέξεων, έχει σαφές θέλημα και έχει σαφείς στόχους που απαιτεί. Κι έτσι, ο άνθρωπος δεν χρειάζεται να ψάχνεται ή να χρησιμοποιεί τη φαντασία του, πόσο μάλλον να κάνει εικασίες. Αυτή είναι η σαφήνεια του έργου στη σάρκα και η μεγάλη του διαφορά από το έργο του Πνεύματος. Το έργο του Πνεύματος είναι κατάλληλο μόνο για ένα περιορισμένο πεδίο και δεν μπορεί να αντικαταστήσει το έργο της σάρκας. Το έργο της σάρκας δίνει στον άνθρωπο πολύ ακριβέστερους και αναγκαίους στόχους και πολύ πιο πραγματική, πολύτιμη γνώση απ’ ότι το έργο του Πνεύματος».

Cyclops Frosty - before oblivion.

 

Was at the Pittsburgh Symphony again tonight...

 

Connections: Rossini, Mozart and Tchaikovsky

 

A rendezvous with classical music is often a journey to the depths of one's soul. Often I see it as a look into our emotions, our hearts and our passions. When I hear the best of this form, it often elicits a lucid experience of what I love most, and for me it is the core of this music, this glorious art-form that transcends all others and mixes these emotions in inexplicable manners and expressions which fulfil and bring joy and a smile to my lips. This happened tonight as I listened to the selections performed by the Pittsburgh Symphony orchestra under the baton of Gianandrea Noseda, one of my favorite conductors.

 

Benjamin Hochman gave a fabulous performance playing the piano in Mozart's Concerto No. 19, a piece I've experienced countless times, and was perfectly glad to finally hear live and in person. I found it fascinating to hear from some friends and others that they had not heard this before, nor the Cinderella selection by Rossini, another of my perennial favorites. So I myself must be an oddity, or simply a classical music enthusiast of sorts, and it was nice to hear these selections with which I am so familiar.

 

Perhaps I am lauding the PSO in particular, but I suspect that the live performance aspect, as I've mentioned before, brings out the very best of the acoustics, the dynamic range, and the total tonal hearing phenomena to its fullest form - one's hearing of the actual instruments at a concert hall like Heinz Hall is without compare.

 

The final selection, Tchaikovsky's symphony No. 3 was breathtaking, and typical of his symphonies for it's flair, Russian sounding themes, and total triumphant bravura. Being a lesser known symphony, this performance gave me the opportunity to hear it for perhaps only the second time. The final movement was better known to me, and the rest was new. My favorite parts were the softer movements - the 2nd, 3rd and 4th - out of the total of 5 movements, yet they were each interesting in their own respect.

 

In the 2nd there commenced a soft pastoral theme, and at one point the low basses were keeping the beat, while the rest of the orchestra dramatically presented breathtaking mood. Later, at home, I listened to this symphony again, and I didn't hear the exact same thing, probably because it's difficult to hear the same dynamic range. The 3rd movement was also quite soft, mixing in resplendent melodies dramatically placed using somber sounds, with low frequencies and low volumes, easily heard in Heinz Hall with its acoustics. I wondered how it would ever be done on a recording, without the use of a volume compression technique, which sort of ruins the intended effect. Throughout these movements the string section held the pieces together like a lofty tether on a lazy afternoon, holding clouds and feathers together in an ambling mixture of tepid flowing fluid.

 

The 4th movement took the pastoral theme from the previous and expanded it in a way as to seemingly make the sounds of the instrument come alive. At one point I envisioned within my mind the scrambling of small animals, perhaps in the depths of the large Russian forests, full of lush greenery and huge conifer and deciduous trees lining the entire canopy. Quickly, with conductor Noseda's sweeping of his arms, he inspired the orchestra into motives and sounds subtle yet attuned to my metaphor. I heard the rustling of leaves, the swaying of trees, the commotion in the forest lessened, and the sound faded out finally with the final scurry of the final animal to one side only to behold the entrance of the fifth and final movement.

 

Then the grandeur commenced, only this time my imagination brought forth to my mind the image of the huge brown bear, a national 'personification' of Russia -- a large magnanimous creature, not clumsy, rather more cuddly, despite his size. This magnificent beast ambled into the scene slowly, with slower and softer sounds from the orchestra building concisely to a masterful statement built upon a melody that is overlaid multiple times, and eventually the whole ensemble brings together this image I've conjured for myself into a climax rivaled only by Tchaikovsky himself in his subsequent symphonies. One of my friends stood to applaud and exclaimed "There's no doubt, that is most definitely is Tchaikovsky!"

 

What are the connections between these pieces and the conductor with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra? Well, tonight the banding piece is the PSO, our very own wonderful American Orchestra which is the binding connection itself. This evening was played three completely different pieces, written many years ago by European and Russian composers, and as conductor Noseda said himself in the post concert chat, the PSO has a "versatility that stands out," according to "different styles," and was able to play these pieces "three different ways," marvelous ways, they are not just "good," but these musicians want to play the music in a way that "touches," by "participating in the music." That was a wonderful complement to the PSO from Maestro Noseda, who is not only an impressive conductor, but a marvelous speaker in his own right. He also described connections between each of the selections this evening. Stay tuned for another blog post on the post concert chat...

March is apparently question month. To ask me a question, post a comment here: toddpage.livejournal.com/370916.html or send me a flickr mail. [Or leave it here if anomynity is not of any importance - the lj post comments are screened so that only I can see them]

 

All questions: Here

 

Question 5:What was it like, first realizing that you might be gay? When did you first wonder, when did you accept it, when did you act on it? How did you feel about it all?

 

The first time I realized I was gay I was 12 years old, taking a shower. I was not thinking about anything in particular, and out of nowhere, as I leaned to turn the water off, I realized: "Shit. I'm gay." I had never really lined things up. I knew I tended to try to help certain people at the store more than others. I'd never considered the fact that the ones I made efforts to help were men, had chest and facial hair, and were usually of a slightly larger build. [Yeah, even then I pursued the "bear" type.] All of a sudden things clicked into place. I was terrified. I hated it. I decided right then and there, that I would not be. I would not be gay. I would control it. Stop it. I could make this not be true, and like girls. I would find a woman, make her my wife, have kids and a dog, and live the straight life. There was nothing to say I couldn't fix this. And like that, I turned a switch in my mind off, and began some pretty hardcore denial. I still tended to help certain customers, and, suffice to say, I was not immune to knowledge of the internet. But somehow I managed to convince myself that despite the fact that I still gazed at men, I was straight. I wasn't aware of it even. I did denial extremely well, and forgot my discovery [until I was ready to deal with it.] It wasn't terribly difficult, honestly. Few people in my school interested me... in that way... and it would've been extremely complicated to be out at my all-boys catholic high school as it is. Either way, I ignored it. I went on one, awkward, date with my best female friend from high school. [Our theatre program did shows with the sister school's girls.]

 

My freshman year of college, I sunk further in, which led to my second realization. I dated a girl from my school who is a wonderful person, and very pretty, for about 2 weeks. Maybe 3. We'd hold hands, and cuddle when the group of us watched movies, and we went to dinner and a movie once. Every night, I'd walk her home to her dorm, and give her a hug, then walk to my dorm. Something missing from this situation? Ah, yes, at this point, we perhaps should have kissed. Something about it, the idea in itself, held me back. And the last evening... 2.5 weeks in, when it could be put off no longer, as she was my girlfriend at this point... I realized that I needed to kiss her good night. And as I leaned in to do so, it hit me again, in this order. "Oh, man... I really don't want to do this. FUCK. I'm gay." As I'm leaning in, I maneuver into what is clearly the worlds most awkward hug, and uncomfortably tell her "Good night"

 

Some history of me at this point. I am a pius, naive, freshman at a very conservative catholic college - my college was in fact #2 in the nation for most homophobic on the Princeton Review I have never touched alcohol, and at this point still believe I will not do so until I am 21. I go to church every sunday, and I go to "Prayer and Praise" every wednesday evening. As a general rule, I stop by the Harkins Hall chapel once every day or so because it is small, quiet, and I can pray there. I do all my homework in the chapel basement. I have hidden myself in this. I believe what I am told, but there is no strong faith behind it. It is a place I can fit in, where I know the rules and what is expected of me. At the same time I fight anyone who says that being gay is evil. [I HATE the word homosexual and homosexuality. It's so clerical.]

 

It is 2 am on a friday night, in late november, and I am now re-realizing I am gay. I am realizing that this may not be something for me to control. I am still very much hateful of the fact. This turns inward. I hate myself, and loath every part of me that makes me feel this way. I am already an outcast from most social situations, and awkward, the last thing I needed was this extra load. People would hate me. All of them. I'm sure of it. All my friends will leave me and hate me. I'll have to start enjoying shopping, and I'll probably have to listen to Madonna instead of punk rock. But no. Maybe this is still fixable. I had convinced myself that with great prayer, God could take this away. I started being more vigilant, praying daily, fixating myself on anything I could that would help me push away from this. I told the girl that something was up, and I needed to figure it out. She respected that, and I think knew EXACTLY what was up. I would cry in church, praying so hard that I shook, hoping and calling to God to let me find women attractive. Or at least to stop finding men attractive. Anything. Anything to avoid dealing with or accepting it, me. Somehow, this didn't work. Surprising, I know.

 

So, I had to deal with it. I had to start accepting me. That this was an uncontrollable aspect of who and what I was. It was a piece of me. It was something that had been created in me, like the color of my eyes, or the color of my hair. I turned to the internet. Looking at forums, and still looking for loopholes. I joined a forum for the young and gay and talked it through with people there. I talked with some people who had experience, [Bruin, creator of Bear With Me gave me an excellent X-Men analogy, that I remember specifically.] All of this occurred over the length of the second semester.

 

No one else knew at this point. I had come to a sort of shaky acceptance with it... but it was very weak. I wasn't confident in it, and I still hated it. I still didn't want it to be true, but I was at least aware that it was something outside of my control. Which, to be fair, is a big step in it's own. I was carrying it by myself though. Till a cast party. It was the second cast party for Brigadoon. There was a particularly homophobic person in the cast, who had written a letter in The Cowl the week before comparing homosexuality to cancer. As a joke, we had discussed one of the guys drunkenly kissing him. [We we're freshman, give us a break] This was the second time I had ever had alcohol, and I still hadn't learned how to drink, or how to control when I drink. My friend, Joe, suggests I do it, and I blurt out "No. Not until I come out."

 

And then I realize what I'd done, and leave. Joe follows me, and confronts me... I tell him it was a joke, and he rolls his eyes. It's the next day and we're having dinner when he asks me about it. And I slowly tell him that I thought it was true. I didn't know where on the kinsey scale I was [I'd recently discovered the scale, and I thought it was fancy] but I had a hunch it was true. At some point in the next month, the girl I'd dated asked me what had happened and I'd told her too. That was two people. And I had told them I was still not sure. Come graduation week. I was really the only person in my group of friends on campus for the week, and I read books the entire time. I read Augusten Burrough's 'Running with Scissors', then Dry, then David Sedaris' "Me Talk Pretty One Day" Believe it or not, these were the first books I'd read about or by gay people - at least to my knowledge. I was still looking for loopholes but I was recognizing that other people were like this, and they managed to survive life. I started gaining a little bit of confidence. I went home for the summer and, very shyly, got the 2 books on gay subjects out of my library, and read through them, looking for understanding. Looking for some kind of knowledge about who and what I was. I tend to read about things before I go into them. Alot.

 

Somehow, I decided I was ready to come out to my parents. I don't know if I decided I was ready, or if I decided it was the right thing to do. This was a horrible decision at this time, because my confidence levels were still extremely low. I nervously and carefully sat them down at the dinner table, feeling my heart in my chest. Terrified. The second or third most awful feeling I've ever felt. And I told them "I think I'm gay." I had prepared for various responses, based on my books, but life, surprisingly [sarcasm], doesn't run like books. They did not express hate, or anger, and told me that they would never love me any less... but that they did not think I was gay. That perhaps it was a phase. That everyone questioned it at some point or another, and that I needed more time to know for sure. Essentially, that the conclusion I had clawed my way too, was wrong. I didn't know how to respond, and instead of standing my ground, conceded that it was possible. We made dinner and watched Shrek. [My parents, by the way, are amazingly supportive people, who I have put through a lot, and who love and accept me for who I am, through everything I've done. They take the details of my life quite well. I don't want anyone thinking less of the two wonderful people who brought my life. This is something that for them, as for me, would take some adjusting to. And they have adjusted to it, now, and support me fully]

 

Nothing further was said. The response I'd received had shaken the confidence. I still knew I was attracted to guys, but what happened from there? I told another friend, a close female friend from PC, and her response was amazing. She told me she was proud of me for coming to terms with it, and that she was so happy for me. She was so... supportive. The people I'd told so far had expressed acceptance... but this was the first time support in it had come. It was surprising, and my confidence in myself and my ability to cope with it grew. I went back to school and started talking a little less furtively. And on October 10th, I got an IM from Joe: "So... tomorrows national coming out day... you gonna tell everyone?" I had never even thought about telling the rest of my friends. "I guess so. Might as well now, gonna have to do it eventually, right?" "Yup." I then sent the girlfriend an IM telling her my plan.

 

So, yeah. I came out on National Coming Out Day. Not because of the holiday, but because the holiday had kind've reminded me that it was something I should do. All my friends were in the cafe, eating lunch, and before some left for class, I said "I have to say something." *silence* "I'm queer."

 

Oh, how I regret saying "I'm queer". I had chosen it carefully, it was an umbrella term, and it allowed me retreat, should things turn a direction that I didn't favor. 3 or 4 raised their eyebrows in shock, 2 laughed. [Kaitlin told me later her exact reaction was "Well, yeah."] Only 1 person in my group of friends reacted poorly... and she kind've cast herself away. I still don't talk to her. It was kind've amazing. I could start talking about all the shit I had bottled up openly, and I didn't have to fit any mold. I was, amusingly, now requested by friends to do things like go to the mall, or go dancing. I think this was hilarious. I had not been hiding any desires or actions... so upon coming out I still hated shopping, and still, for the most part, was not interested in an evening of dancing. Still my confidence grew, and I got to be really okay with it. I started having recognizable crushes, and though I was still uncomfortable with some aspects, I made progress.

 

That covers all of the acceptance bit. It's still a process for me in some ways. I notice I have this instinct within me to push against anything stereotypical. I refused to listen to Madonna, or Cher... would not even give them a try, and I still respond to some "gay" things with a negative attitude. I'm working on this. I recently listened to Madonna, to give it a chance. I still don't really like it, but at least now I've given it a chance. I mean, the girl has some definite pipes... and Like a Prayer is hella fun, but it's just not something I'd listen to for the hell of it. I'm teaching myself to recognize that doing things that are stereotypical aren't bad, as long as you aren't doing them to fit the stereotype. And not doing them to avoid the stereotype is just another way of letting the stereotype control you.

 

When I first acted on it is a tricky business. There had been some minor flirting, back and forth, with a freshman named ... gah, we'll say Alex. Alex was bearish, and cute, but personality-wise, not at all a match for me. As has been discussed, this is important. I was not really interested, and had tried to express that in nice ways... or avoid it anyway. We did crew together for a show called My Sister In This House, and at the second cast party, I had a lot of beer. Like, A-LOT. This was probably my 7th time ever drinking [ a year later ] and I was pretty hammered. Okay, very hammered. I was blurrily aware of the goings-ons, it was very late, and few people we're left at the gathering. I was warm, and I came to realize it was because Alex was standing behind me, with his arms around me. It felt nice, and I was hammered, so I let it occur. Then he started to pull me into the room where no one else was. A little something triggered in my brain, and I resisted. But another tug and I followed. We were standing in the room when this exchange happened:

Alex: "You're beautiful."

Me: *pause* "You smell like soap."

Alex: "Is that a good thing?"

Me: *long pause* "Yes."

At this point, he licked the back of my neck, which felt nice, but weird, but didn't have much [drunk] time to recognize it, as he leaned in and put his tongue straight in my mouth.

 

This woke me up pretty quickly. I'm pretty glad, too, had it been a subtle kiss first, I might have a story I'd regret. Who knows though. I told him "No." and he asked me if that meant just now, or ever. I said I didn't know.

 

He didn't talk to me for a year. I'm not entirely sure I blame him. I'm not sure if that counts as acting on it, as I was barely aware, and didn't really act except for to realize I was not comfortable with it. But it was my first kiss, regardless. My first real acting on it was a year later. February of my junior year of college, and began with a meeting for coffee, then a kiss in a Chili's parking lot. It moved forward from there into my first relationship.

 

To sum up: Ages 12 and 18, never really wondered, it just HIT me, 19 and 20, and I hated it. Alot. I don't anymore though. I'm really actually comfortable with it now. I like that it's a part of me, and I no longer feel any desire to change it. I don't believe in gay pride, because I think it's something embedded within me, just like I wouldn't be proud of having blue eyes, I wouldn't be proud of being gay... but I do embrace it as a part of me, and support it. I am comfortable with who I am, finally, at 22, and it feels glorious. I've gotten beyond accepting it, and I support it in myself. Whenever you read about people's coming outs, they always refer to coming out to themself first. I think we can add a step and that is supporting themself in that. I am finally there. Not without my share of work left to accomplish further, but I have made great progress, and I feel certain I will make more in times to come.

VEB Pentacon licensed the production of screw-mount Exas (some late Ib version 4.4 and all Ic version 4.5) to Certo Camera Werk, Dresden-Großzsachwitz, a part of VEB Pentacon. Cameras built by Certo have serial numbers preceded with a letter C.

The later models of Exa 1b have black plastic top- and bottom plates.

Exa 1b body is virtually identical to Exa Ia except rewind knob replaced with a crank and the lens mount is M42 (Pentax/Practica standard), instead of the traditional Exakta bayonet mount. The camera also has internal aperture coupling for M42 automatic lenses.

Exa 1b uses most standard Exakta viewfinders, waist-level and prism.

Other main lenses are Tessar, Makinon and Super Takumar.

Exa 1b is not a real part of the Exakta/Exa system, although its family relationship with Exa cannot be denied.

Exa 1b renamed as Exa 1c without practically any other changes.

Our Lady & The English Martyrs, Cambridge

 

stepneyrobarts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/our-lady-english-ma...

 

Yesterday I revisited St Peter for internals and finished of Cambridge, visiting seven Victorian built churches only one of which, Our Lady & The English Martyrs, is worth writing up.

 

At first sight I wrote OLEM off as a Victorian Gothic monstrosity but as I wandered around the exterior I was struck by the quality of the building and the interior stunned me with lots of rather good glass and impressive architecture (oh and apart from three revisits, Babraham, Guilden Morden and Stow cum Quy, that finished the north west quadrant).

 

The Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, or OLEM, is situated in the heart of the city of Cambridge. An imposing example of the 19th Century Gothic Revival, it was built to the designs of Dunn & Hansom of Newcastle between 1885 and 1890, and founded solely by Mrs Yolande Marie Louise Lyne-Stephens, a former ballet dancer at the Paris Opera and Drury Lane, London, and widow of a wealthy banker. She promised to build the church on the feast of Our Lady of the Assumption, and Monsignor Christopher Scott - the first Rector - also wished to commemorate the Catholic Martyrs who died between 1535 and 1681, over thirty of whom had been in residence at the University.

 

Designed by architects Dunn and Hansom of Newcastle and built by the Cambridge firm of Rattee and Kett, OLEM is constructed in Casterton, Ancaster and Combe Down Stone. The church is a traditional cruciform structure in the early-decorated style with a large tower at the crossing, a polygonal apse and a west bell tower with a 65-metre spire, visible for miles around Cambridge. Quite often, it is quoted by visitors and local residents as a location point. The approximate internal dimensions of the church are: length 48 meters [156 ft] width across the aisles 16 meters [51 ft] width at the transepts 22 meters [71 ft], the height of the nave 15 meters [71ft].

 

Inside and over the west door stands the figure of Our Lady of the Assumption crowned with lilies and standing on the crescent moon with the vanquished serpent beneath. The west window shows the English Martyrs arranged in two principal groups, the clergy on the south side with St John Fisher in their midst and the laity on the north grouped round St Thomas More.

 

Beside the South aisle is an ancient statue of Our Lady with the Child Jesus. This statue is understood to be a gift in 1850 from Emmanuel College, which was built on the site of a Dominican Priory dating back to 1274. The Church of the Black Friars of Cambridge contained a statue of Our Blessed Lady to which much pilgrimage was had. Although unconfirmed this could be that statue.

 

The Chapel of the Holy Souls with the book of Remembrance is located at the west end of the south aisle. The sculpture above the altar depicts the solace and relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory through the intercession of Our Lady and the angel who comforted Our Lord in Gethsemane. The Chapel is now appropriately used at the two great Christian celebrations: at Easter for the Empty Tomb indicating the Risen Lord, and at Christmas for the Crib.

 

The aisle windows were almost completely destroyed when the church was struck by a bomb on 1941, but were subsequently replaced in their original form. They epitomise the various sufferings of the English Martyrs, their being brought before the Council, racked, hung, drawn and quartered in the sight and sympathy of the faithful. The windows of the north aisle portray Carthusians, St Thomas Moore, B. Margaret Pole and others, while the south aisle is made a “Fisher Aisle”, devoted to scenes from the life of St John, Cardinal Bishop of Rochester, who in so many important ways is identified with Cambridge.

 

The best general impression of the interior is obtained from the gateway in the iron screen dividing the nave from the ante-chapel. The heads of the four great preachers of Our Lady’s Graces are carved in the four corners of the nave. The windows along the nave represent saints connected with the Church in Britain, arranged approximately in chronological order from east to west with a few additional figures in the eastern windows.

 

The Rood which is between the nave and the sanctuary is of the type known as “Majestas”; the figure of Our Lord, with glorified wounds, robed in alb, stole and pallium [as High Priest] and crowned [as King “reigning from the Tree”]. This was the earliest type of crucifix; the realistic figure, now almost universal, did not come into general use until the beginning of the thirteenth century. The cross, inspired by that at Nuremberg, is about 6 metres high, carved in oak; the figures of Christ and of Our Lady and of Saint John are of Kauri pine. They were carved locally by Mr. B. Maclean Leach and completed and blessed in 1914.

 

Beyond the present, modern altar is the High Altar with the relics of Saints Felix and Constantia, martyrs of the early Church. The tabernacle and ornaments of the altar are of exquisite French workmanship from Lyons. The baldacchino which covers the High Altar is similar to that over the tomb of Robert the Wise (1275-1343) at Santa Chiara, Naples. It is one of the earliest forms of adornment of a Christian altar. At the top is the figure of Our Lord in glory supported on each side by angels in act of adoration.

 

The design and the re-ordering of the sanctuary was done by Mr. Gerard Goalen of Harlow after the Second Vatican Council. On 7th April, 1973, Bishop Charles Grant consecrated the present central. The original High Altar has subsequently been used mainly for reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.

Day 3: Ipsaycocha - Patacancha - Ollantaytambo - Aguas Calientes

Day 4: Aguas Calienties - Machu Picchu - Cusco

Day 1: Cusco - Lares (Hot Spring)

We leave Cusco at 6:00am in a private transport and drive for an approximated 4h through part of the Sacred Valley to then head towards Lares (3100m/10168ft), a little rural village located in the beautiful valley of the same name, hosting some well-known hot springs. Upon arrival, we leave our equipment and continue towards Choquecancha, an impressive archaeological site with amazing views of the neighboring valleys. After our visit, we hike back to Lares, where we can enjoy an evening dip in its hot springs before or after our dinner is served. Our camp will be set next to the thermal baths and access is free the whole night.

Day 2: Lares (Hot Spring) - Ipsaycocha)

After an early wake up and breakfast, we meet our horsemen and horses and leave our campsite at around 9.00am to walk along an ascending path that will lead us to Huacahuasi, (3600m/11808ft). This remote Andean community is located in an impressive valley, where the typical lifestyle and house constructions of the Quechua communities living at high altitude can be appreciated. We stop to visit a typical house and family, before we enjoy our lunch. In the early afternoon, we continue our hike ascending toward the mountain pass of Ipsay (4450m/14596ft/3h), walking across little communities and Andean flats (pampas) with the presence of llamas and alpacas. The pass offers impressive views of Mount Veronica and the surrounding snow-capped peaks. Just half an hour from this point is Ipsayqocha, a beautiful lagoon next to which we set our camp and spend the night, amidst awesome scenery.

Day 3: Ipsaycocha - Patacancha - Ollantaytambo - Aguas Calientes

After two full days of hiking today is much easier. After an early breakfast we walk downhill through a wide-open valley for about 2½ hours until we arrive at the village of Patacancha. We will have a chance to view some textiles made by the people of this community - the high quality weavings are famous for their intricate designs reflecting aspects of their everyday lives and culture. After we also get the chance to walk slowly down the valley to Willoq, another Quechua village where the locals still wear their traditional dress and are proud to maintain their cultural identity. From Patacancha we will take our transport further down the valley to Inca town of Ollantaytambo where we will rest and have lunch, then catch our afternoon train to AguasCalientes. This is an amazing journey that starts in the Quechua highlands and slowly descends to lush tropical vegetation as we near AguasCalientes. Total journey time about 1½ hours. Tonight we stay in the small quaint town of Machu Picchu.

Day 4: Aguas Calienties - Machu Picchu - Cusco

5 am breakfast then at 5.30am we get the bus to Machu Picchu. We need to depart early so those who wish to climb Huayna Picchu will need to sign up before the 2 hour guided tour. During your visit to these ancient ruins you will see clouds fly past and Machu Picchu will disappear with in them, so make sure you take pictures whilst the ruins are visible. After the tour you will have free time to explore the mountain of Huayna Picchu overlooking all of Machu Picchu - by far the best view! Huayna Picchu will take approximately 2 hours return trip. It is now your choice to enjoy lunch just outside the ruins or take the bus back to AguasCalientes to explore this small and quaint village.

Constructing the World: Art and Economy 1919-1939 and 2008-2018

10/12/18 to 02/03/19

 

Ten years after the peak of the global financial crisis in 2008, which profoundly shook the economic systems of America and Europe and had a lasting effect on present-day life, this topical exhibition is the first to illustrate the economy’s dramatic influence on art and to make global comparisons, demonstrating these in an analysis of two separate eras. Economic phenomena in the classical modernism of the 1920s and 30s are not only explored by focusing on art from the German Weimar Republic, the Soviet Union, and the United States, but also juxtaposed with artists of the present day.

 

Curatorial team: Dr. Eckhart Gillen (Berlin), Dr. Ulrike Lorenz, Dr. Sebastian Baden

Project Lead: Dr. Inge Herold, Assistence: Lisa Valentina Riedel, M. A. mult., Elisabeth Bohnet, M.A.

 

How does contemporary art reflect the world of work today? The catalogue for the second part of the exhibition Constructing the World at the Kunsthalle Mannheim takes a look at this question. The focus of it is primarily on artistic positions of the past decade that deal with the social, political, and economic effects of the most recent economic crisis after 2008. The works address and interrogate new production conditions and developments on the labor market as well as political conflicts. The accompanying publication provides fascinating insights into the diverse artistic positions.

Documenta From Wikipedia,

 

The Fridericianum during documenta (13)

documenta is an exhibition of contemporary art which takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. It was founded by artist, teacher and curator Arnold Bode in 1955 as part of the Bundesgartenschau (Federal Horticultural Show) which took place in Kassel at that time.[1] It was an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art, both banishing and repressing the cultural darkness of Nazism.[2] This first documenta featured many artists who are generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art (such as Picasso and Kandinsky). The more recent documentas feature art from all continents; nonetheless most of it is site-specific.

 

Every documenta is limited to 100 days of exhibition, which is why it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days".[3] Documenta is not a selling exhibition. It rarely coincides with the three other major art world events: the Venice Biennale, Art Basel and Skulptur Projekte Münster, but in 2017, all four were open simultaneously.

  

Etymology of documenta

The name of the exhibition is an invented word. The term is supposed to demonstrate the intention of every exhibition (in particular of the first documenta in 1955) to be a documentation of modern art which was not available for the German public during the Nazi era. Rumour spread from those close to Arnold Bode that it was relevant for the coinage of the term that the Latin word documentum could be separated into docere (Latin for teach) and mens (Latin for intellect) and therefore thought it to be a good word to describe the intention and the demand of the documenta.[4]

 

Each edition of documenta has commissioned its own visual identity, most of which have conformed to the typographic style of solely using lowercase letters, which originated at the Bauhaus.[5]

 

History

 

Stadtverwaldung by Joseph Beuys, oaktree in front of the museum Fridericianum, documenta 7

Art professor and designer Arnold Bode from Kassel was the initiator of the first documenta. Originally planned as a secondary event to accompany the Bundesgartenschau, this attracted more than 130,000 visitors in 1955. The exhibition centred less on "contemporary art“, that is art made after 1945: instead, Bode wanted to show the public works which had been known as "Entartete Kunst" in Germany during the Nazi era: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Blauer Reiter, Futurism and Pittura Metafisica. Therefore, abstract art, in particular the abstract paintings of the 1920s and 1930s, was the focus of interest in this exhibition.

 

Over time, the focus shifted to contemporary art. At first, the show was limited to works from Europe, but soon covered works by artists from the Americas, Africa and Asia. 4. documenta, the first ever to turn a profit, featured a selection of Pop Art, Minimal Art, and Kinetic Art.[6] Adopting the theme of Questioning Reality – Pictorial Worlds Today, the 1972 documenta radically redefined what could be considered art by featuring minimal and conceptual art, marking a turning point in the public acceptance of those styles.[7] Also, it devoted a large section to the work of Adolf Wolfli, the great Swiss outsider, then unknown. Joseph Beuys performed repeatedly under the auspices of his utopian Organization for Direct Democracy.[8] Additionally, the 1987 documenta show signaled another important shift with the elevation of design to the realm of art – showing an openness to postmodern design.[9] Certain key political dates for wide-reaching social and cultural upheavals, such as 1945, 1968 or 1976/77, became chronological markers of documenta X (1997), along which art's political, social, cultural and aesthetic exploratory functions were traced.[10] Documenta11 was organized around themes like migration, urbanization and the post-colonial experience,[11] with documentary photography, film and video as well as works from far-flung locales holding the spotlight.[7] In 2012, documenta (13) was described as "[a]rdently feminist, global and multimedia in approach and including works by dead artists and selected bits of ancient art".[12]

 

Criticism

documenta typically gives its artists at least two years to conceive and produce their projects, so the works are often elaborate and intellectually complex.[13] However, the participants are often not publicised before the very opening of the exhibition. At documenta (13), the official list of artists was not released until the day the show opened.[14] Even though curators have often claimed to have gone outside the art market in their selection, participants have always included established artists. In the documenta (13), for example, art critic Jerry Saltz identified more than a third of the artists represented by the renowned Marian Goodman Gallery in the show.[14]

 

Directors

The first four documentas, organized by Arnold Bode, established the exhibition's international credentials. Since the fifth documenta (1972), a new artistic director has been named for each documenta exhibition by a committee of experts. Documenta 8 was put together in two years instead of the usual five. The original directors, Edy de Wilde and Harald Szeemann, were unable to get along and stepped down. They were replaced by Manfred Schneckenburger, Edward F. Fry, Wulf Herzogenrath, Armin Zweite, and Vittorio Fagone.[15] Coosje van Bruggen helped select artists for documenta 7, the 1982 edition. documenta IX's team of curators consisted of Jan Hoet, Piero Luigi Tazzi, Denys Zacharopoulos, and Bart de Baere.[16] For documenta X Catherine David was chosen as the first woman and the first non-German speaker to hold the post. It is also the first and unique time that its website Documenta x was conceived by a curator (swiss curator Simon Lamunière) as a part of the exhibition. The first non-European director was Okwui Enwezor for Documenta11.[17]

2012's edition was organized around a central node, the trans-Atlantic melding of two distinct individuals who first encountered each other in the "money-soaked deserts of the United Arab Emirates". As an organizing principle it is simultaneously a commentary on the romantic potentials of globalization and also a critique of how digital platforms can complicate or interrogate the nature of such relationships. Curatorial agents refer to the concept as possessing a "fricative potential for productive awkwardness," wherein a twosome is formed for the purposes of future exploration.[23]

 

Venues

documenta is held in different venues in Kassel. Since 1955, the fixed venue has been the Fridericianum. The documenta-Halle was built in 1992 for documenta IX and now houses some of the exhibitions. Other venues used for documenta have included the Karlsaue park, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, the Neue Galerie, the Ottoneum, and the Kulturzentrum Schlachthof. Though Okwui Enezor notably tried to subvert the euro-centric approach documenta had taken, he instigated a series of five platforms before the Documenta11 in Vienna, Berlin, New Delhi, St Lucia, and Lagos, in an attempt to take documenta into a new post-colonial, borderless space, from which experimental cultures could emerge. documenta 12 occupied five locations, including the Fridericianum, the Wilhelmshöhe castle park and the specially constructed "Aue-Pavillon", or meadow pavilion, designed by French firm Lacaton et Vassal.[24] At documenta (13) (2012), about a fifth of the works were unveiled in places like Kabul, Afghanistan, and Banff, Canada.[13]

 

There are also a number of works that are usually presented outside, most notably in Friedrichsplatz, in front of the Fridericianum, and the Karlsaue park. To handle the number of artworks at documenta IX, five connected temporary "trailers" in glass and corrugated metal were built in the Karlsaue.[25] For documenta (13), French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal constructed the temporary "Aue-Pavillon" in the park.

  

Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus Rucker und Co.

A few of the works exhibited at various documentas remained as purchases in Kassel museums. They include 7000 Eichen by Joseph Beuys; Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus-Rucker-Co; Laserscape Kassel (1977) by Horst H. Baumann; Traumschiff Tante Olga (1977) by Anatol Herzfeld; Vertikaler Erdkilometer by Walter De Maria; Spitzhacke (1982) by Claes Oldenburg; Man walking to the sky (1992) by Jonathan Borofsky; and Fremde by Thomas Schütte (one part of the sculptures are installed on Rotes Palais at Friedrichsplatz, the other on the roof of the Concert Hall in Lübeck).

 

documenta archive

The extensive volume of material that is regularly generated on the occasion of this exhibition prompted Arnold Bode to create an archive in 1961. The heart of the archive’s collection comes from the files and materials of the documenta organization. A continually expanding video and image archive is also part of the collection as are the independently organized bequests of Arnold Bode and artist Harry Kramer.

 

Management

Visitors

In 1992, on the occasion of documenta IX, for the first time in the history of the documenta, more than half a million people traveled to Kassel.[26] The 2002 edition of documenta attracted 650,000 visitors, more than triple Kassel's population.[27] In 2007, documenta 12 drew 754,000 paying visitors, with more than one-third of the visitors coming from abroad and guests from neighboring Netherlands, France, Belgium and Austria among the most numerous.[28] In 2012, documenta (13) had 904,992 visitors.[21]

lumbung

Short concept by ruangrupa for documenta 15

"We want to create a globally oriented, cooperative, interdisciplinary art and culture platform that will remain effective beyond the 100 days of documenta fifteen. Our curatorial approach aims at a different kind of collaborative model of resource use—economically, but also in terms of ideas, knowledge, programs, and innovation."

  

ruangrupa’s central curatorial approach for documenta fifteen is based on the principles of collectivity, resource building, and equal sharing. They aim to appeal not just to an art audience but to a variety of communities, and to promote local commitment and participation. Their approach is based on an international network of local, community-based organizations from the art and other cultural contexts and can be outlined by the Indonesian term lumbung. lumbung, directly translatable as “rice barn,” is a collective pot or accumulation system used in rural areas of Indonesia, where crops produced by a community are stored as a future shared common resource and distributed according to jointly determind criteria. Using lumbung as a model, documenta fifteen is a collective resource pot, operating under the logics of the commons. It is an agglomeration of ideas, stories, (wo)manpower, time, and other shareable resources. At the center of lumbung is the imagination and the building of these collective, shared resources into new models of sustainable ideas and cultural practices. This will be fostered by residencies, assemblies, public activities, and the development of tools.

 

Interdisciplinarity is key in this process. It is where art meets activism, management, and networking to gather support, understand environments, and identify local resources. These elements then create actions and spaces, intertwine social relations and transactions; they slowly grow and organically find a public form. This is a strategy “to live in and with society.” It imagines the relations an art institution has with its community by being an active constituent of it. Strategies are then developed based on proximity and shared desires.

 

The main principles of the process are:

• Providing space to gather and explore ideas

• Collective decision making

• Non-centralization

• Playing between formalities and informalities

• Practicing assembly and meeting points

• Architectural awareness

• Being spatially active to promote conversation

• A melting pot for and from everyone’s thoughts, energies, and ideas

9/11, The Oklahoma City bombing, Virginia Tech, the Watts Riots, the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy, all horrific acts of violence, all catastrophic, all senseless.

 

Imagine a world without violence, a world of peace. This sentiment echoes the lyrics to John Lennon’s 1971 song, “Imagine”.

 

The concept of the tour was conceived after the piano was showcased at the IMAGINE exhibition at Goss Gallery in Dallas, Texas, 2006

 

The photographs will feature in a book which will spread a worldwide message of peace, transcending time, cultures and boundaries.

 

The piano has been photographed at:

 

Dealy Plaza in Dallas, Texas where President John F Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd,1963

 

Memphis, Tennessee. at the National Civil Rights Museum (previously the Lorraine Motel) where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4th, 1968

 

The Ford Theatre in Washington D.C., the site of President Lincoln’s assassination 142 years ago.

 

The Walls at Texas State Penitentiary in Huntsville, Texas, on the day of a prisoner’s execution.

 

The Oklahoma City National Memorial on the 12th anniversary of the bombing tragedy.

 

The site of the former Branch Davidian Compound where over 80 people died 13 years ago.

 

The home of Bill Clayton who committed suicide 12 years ago after being beaten by a gay hate gang.

Blacksburg, Virginia. The location of the Virginia Tech tragedy.

   

Future planned photographs to be taken in the US and UK, include the site of the World Trade Center attacks and London bombings.

 

“Kenny and George’s deepest wish is to imagine a world of peace, a world without violence,” said Caroline True, creative director. "The selection of these sites evokes a deep sense of emotion for everyone. Capturing these images of this special piano on which a song of peace was composed is the heart of this project."

  

Background

 

George Michael bought the Lennon piano at an auction in October 2000. Considered the most expensive piece of pop memorabilia, experts have estimated its value at US$8 million to $12 million. Michael and his partner, Kenny Goss, owner of Goss Gallery in Dallas, want to further strengthen the project’s peaceful message, by having “Imagine” performed on the piano at each stop. A video documentary and a published volume of the images are under development, with plans to donate proceeds to charity.

 

The song, “Imagine,” was first released in 1971 and was already John Lennon’s most famous post-Beatles song, but it took on a whole new life of its own following Lennon’s murder in December 1980. When first released, “Imagine” reached No. 3 in America and No. 6 in Britain but after Lennon’s death in December 1980, the song gave him a posthumous No. 1.

 

Lennon bought the piano in December 1970, had it delivered to studios at his home in Tittenhurst Park in Berkshire, composed and recorded “Imagine” on it. The piano is a simple upright style instrument, not the white piano which graced the cover of the album. In 1992, it was bought by a private British collector who put it up for auction in October 2000.

"צייד הנאצים"טוביה פרידמן

פרידה מצייד הנאצים טוביה פרידמן, שהביא ללכידת אייכמן

בסוף השבוע שעבר נקבר צייד הנאצים טוביה פרידמן. האיש שהקים את המכון לדוקומנטציה בחיפה, הביא לתפיסתם של אלפי נאצים, הגיע הכי קרוב לד"ר מנגלה והעלה את עצמות חוזה המדינה. גולת הכותרת במפעל חייו: אדולף אייכמן. זמן חיפה מביא את סיפורו של גיבור, שעשה הכל לבדו

תגיות: טוביה פרידמן, צייד נאצים, בדיחה ידועה שהתרוצצה לפני מספר שנים על נשיא המדינה, שמעון פרס, סיפרה, שכאשר נתקע פעם אחת באחד מסיוריו בחו"ל ללא מכנסיים מתאימות, הובהלו לו 2 זוגות מכנסיים מהארץ. כשבא ללבוש אחד מהן – לא הצליח להיכנס לתוכו.

מבולבל ניסה להיכנס פרס לזוג השני, אך גם כאן לא עלה בידו להיכנס אל המכנסיים. צלצלו בבהילות אנשי לשכתו לארץ, ונזפו בחייט הישראלי שהביא לפרס את המכנסיים הלא מתאימות. "זאת לא אשמתי", טען החייט, "בחו"ל שמעון פרס תמיד יותר גדול".

 

בשישי שעבר הובא למנוחת עולם בבית הקברות בכפר סמיר טוביה פרידמן, כשהוא בן 89 במותו. עשרות ליוו את צייד הנאצים, ואפילו ראש עיריית חיפה, יונה יהב, ספד לו וסיפר בהתרגשות איך ביקש בגיל 12 ממערכת העיתון "מעריב לנוער" לשהות במשך יום במחיצתו של פרידמן, ומאז נקשר אליו וליווה אותו.

 

למרבה הצער השם טוביה פרידמן לא יצלצל מוכר לרוב הקוראים, ובוודאי הצעירים שבהם. לעומת זאת, לפני כחמש שנים, כאשר נפטר צייד הנאצים שמעון ויזנטל, קיבלה לוויתו אזכורים בכל העיתונים ואתרי האינטרנט המרכזיים.

 

קשה להסביר כיצד זכה זה לתהילת עולם, והשני, אשר זכה לכבוד אצל כל שועי עולם, דווקא במולדתו נותר אלמוני יחסית, ואולי דווקא, כפי שהיטיב לומר זאת בעצמו פרידמן: "אם הייתי נשאר בוינה - גם אני הייתי הופך למפורסם כמו ויזנטל".

הצייד הראשון

קצרה היריעה מלספר את קורותיו של ניצול השואה, שפעל להבאת עצמות חוזה המדינה, בנימין זאב הרצל, ועצמות משפחתו, ארצה. שהיה זה שלמעשה מצא את אדולף אייכמן, והסגיר אותו לידי המוסד.

  

טוביה פרימן על רקע הרייכסטאג בגרמניה צילום: באדיבות המשפחה

שהיה האיש הקרוב ביותר למציאתו של ד"ר יוזף מנגלה, שעזר לארגון ה"הגנה" לאגור נשק לקראת סיום המנדט הבריטי, שפעל על מנת לבטל את חוק ההתיישנות על פשעי הנאצים, שאיתר למעלה מאלפיים מהם, כולל מפקד האס אס של גטו ראדום וסגנו, והביא להסגרתם של חלק ולתלייתם של אחרים, ועוד.

 

הכל בעזרת שתי ידיו ושתי רגליו, מבלי עזרה מהמדינה, מבלי תמיכה מ"יד ושם", בראש סניפה החיפאי עמד 3 שנים, מבלי לעשות לעצמו מפעל שלם של יחסי ציבור. מפעל של אדם אחד, שראוי שיישמע סיפורו.

 

את רוב שנותיו בארץ בילה טוביה פרידמן בדירתו בחיפה, אך את שנותיו האחרונות בילה פרידמן בחולון, בבית אחותו בלה קנגון, לאחר אירוע מוחי שעבר. השבעה עצמה נערכת בביתה של בלה, והדירה מלאה בתמונות ובתצלומים, שתלה אמיר, בנה, שנחשב עוד מילדות לממשיך דרכו של פרידמן.

 

בין תמונות של טוביה, או של בעלה של בלה, בוריס קנגון, שנפטר לפני 3 שנים, אחת התמונות הבולטות בסלון היא של רוני, בנו של פרידמן שנספה בתאונת צלילה ב-78'. אנה, אשתו של פרידמן, מספר אמיר, לא הצליחה לעמוד בכאב, ונפטר לאחר שנים ספורות.

 

ביום שישי נקבר פרידמן לצד שניהם, בבית הקברות בכפר סמיר. "רוני היה במבדקים לשייטת, צוללן מוכשר. בערב לפני שקרה האסון, ערב ליל הסדר, הם היו אצלנו בבית, הוא, אמא שלו, הדוד טוביה וכל החברים מהשייטת. לאחר שנגמרה הארוחה ואנשים עמדו לצאת, סגרתי בטעות את הדלת על האצבעות של היד שלו. מכיוון שאמו הייתה רופאה בבית החולים בחיפה חבשו לו את היד, ובבוקר הם נסעו לשארם.

 

היו 41 מעלות בחוץ, אבל הם צללו. בסירה עימם הייתה בחורה אמריקאית, שביקשה מרוני, כחלק מאתגר, להביא לה חול מעומק של 12 מטרים. רוני צלל, וחזר עם מבוקשה. בהמשך ביקשה ממנו לצלול לעומק עמוק יותר, גם במשימה זו עמד בהצלחה. לבסוף, שכשכבר היה מותש מהחום והצלילות ביקשה בשלישית. למרות עייפותו צלל שוב, אך מהצלילה הזאת לא שב".

 

תמונה נוספת שמראה לי אמיר היא של פרידמן ושלו, בגיל שנתיים, בוינה. הדוד מחזיק לאחיין את היד. וכך הם הלכו, יד ביד, שישים שנה, כשקנגון הופך לסגנו של דודו, עוזר היכן שצריך, שותף לאירועים, שבדיעבד הפכו היסטוריים, מתעד באדיקות, כמו הדוד, כדי שדבר לא יישכח.

הנאצים הראשונים

לפני כעשור התראיין פרידמן למגזין "בית משיח" של תנועת חב"ד, ובו סיפר על הקשר האמיץ שקשר עם הרבי מליובאוויטש, וגם על איך עצר, במסגרת תפקידו כקצין חקירות במשרד הביטחון הפולני, מאות נאצים, וביניהם נאצים מהגטו ממנו נמלט במהלך השואה.

  

טוביה פרידמן על קברו של בנימין זאב הרצל צילוםף באדיבות המשפחה

"הגעתי לוינה עם קבוצת יהודים נוספת, במטרה להמשיך לארץ ישראל, אלא שבשמים ייעדו לי מטרה אחרת. באותם ימים פגשתי בוינה את היינריך ראקוץ’, מידידי בעיר ראדום, אותו היכרתי אישית ממחנה הריכוז שקולנה. הוא הפתיע אותי: 'אתה זוכר את סמל האס אס בוכמאיר, שרצח בראדום כל כך הרבה יהודים? הוא נמצא כאן בוינה, ופתח חנות'.

 

"כשהגענו לשם התברר לנו כי הוא כלוא במחנה שבויים אמריקאי ליד זלצבורג. המשכנו לשם, והצגנו את עצמנו בפני מפקד המחנה. הוא ידע כי נאצים רבים מסתירים את שמותיהם ותפקידם, כדי להקל בעונש שיוטל עליהם. התחפשתי לאסיר גרמני, והוכנסתי למחנה כשבוי גרמני על מנת לנסות לזהות את הצורר בוכמאיר. כעבור שעות ספורות זיהיתי אותו, והוא נקרא מייד למפקד המחנה לחקירה.

 

"בוכמאיר אמר שאינו זוכר אותי. 'אתה התרוצצת עם מקל כבד, והכית בנו עד זוב דם', הזכרתי לו. 'היו לך אפילו אחיות שחבשו אותנו, כדי שתוכל להכותנו שוב אחר כך'. שפתיו של בוכמאיר נעו במבוכה וזעם, 'אבל לא הייתי הגרוע ביותר בראדום'.

 

"מיד לאחר החקירה החל הליך הסגרתו של בוכמאיר לפולין ושם הועמד לדין. לאחר מכן איתרנו נאצי נוסף בשם ריכרד שייגל, שהעביר אלפי יהודים מגיטו ראדום אל מחנה ההשמדה בטרבלינקה. מפקד משטרת וינה טען בפנינו כי ריכרד נעצר ושוחרר מחוסר הוכחות. אולם על סמך עדותי ועדותו של היינריך, הוא נעצר עוד באותו לילה. הוא נחקר והועמד לדין. את חייו סיים בבית הסוהר בוינה. אלו הנאצים הראשונים שלכדתי".

 

בהמשך מצא גם את ראש האס אס ומפקד המשטרה בראדום, הרברט בטכר, וסגנו וילהלם בלום, שהיו אחראים לשליחתם של כ-300,000 יהודים למחנה הריכוז בטרבלינקה, בהם משפחתו של פרידמן.

 

פרידמן נולד בראדום, פולין ב-1922. ב-1941 הועבר ביחד עם משפחתו לגטו ראדום, ושנה לאחר מכן נשלחו אחותו ואמו לטרבלינקה. הוא נשלח למחנה עבודה, ומשם נדד ממקום למקום, עד שהגיע למחנה ברחוב שקולנה.

 

ביוני 44' הצליח לברוח ביחד עם שני חברים נוספים מהגטו דרך תעלת ביוב, ושרד בשטח. הוא ניצל פעמים רבות ממוות, כשבאחת מהן, לילה לפני הוצאתו להורג, חיסל את החייל שהופקד עליו, וברח.

 

ב-45' הצטרף למשטרה הפולנית בזהות בדויה, וזאת למען המטרה אליה שאף – רדיפת הנאצים ונקמת דם משפחתו. הוא הפך לקצין חקירות, ובמסגרת תפקידו עצר מאות נאצים, והביאם לדין. שנה לאחר מכן, כשפגש את אחותו בלה, ששרדה אף היא, תכנן לעלות ארצה דרך ארגון "הבריחה", שם הכיר את אשר (ארתור) בן נתן, שלימים כיהן כשגריר הישראלי הראשון בגרמניה המערבית, וכיום מכהן כראש יד בן גוריון.

 

בן נתן גייס את פרידמן למשימת איסוף המידע אודות פושעי מלחמה נאצים, כאשר הראשון במעלה היה ראש החטיבה היהודית באס אס, אדולף אייכמן.

 

בראשית שנות ה-50 הפסיקה ארצות הברית את המאמצים באיתור פושעי מלחמה. פרידמן החליט לעלות לארץ, כשהאמין שבמדינת ישראל יוכל לעשות את משימתו ביתר שאת, אך בדיעבד את מרבית הפושעים שתפס - תפס דווקא בוינה.

האיש שמצא את אייכמן

גולת הכותרת במסע הצייד שניהל פרידמן כנגד הנאצים, הייתה ללא ספק 15 השנים בהם בילה במרדף אחר אדולף אייכמן.

  

אדולף אייכמן במשפטו, מאחורי קיר הזכוכית צילום: אי-פי

סיפור מציאתו של אייכמן החל בסוף אוגוסט 1959, כאשר מנהל המרכז הפדרלי לחקירת פשעי הנאצים, ארווין שילה, הודיע לפרידמן, שעבד איתו צמוד, כי ככל הנראה אותרו עקבותיו של אייכמן בכווית. פרידמן ניסה להציף את העניין לתודעה הארצית, ופנה לעיתונאי משה מייזלס שיפרסם את הסיפור.

 

הידיעה על הימצאו של אייכמן עשתה גלים, ומשרד החוץ ביקש מפרידמן לחדול ממעשיו. פרידמן נטש את הזירה המקומית, ופרסם מודעות בעיתונים בחו"ל, בה הציע פרס של 10 אלף דולרים למוסרי מידע אמין על מיקומו של אייכמן.

 

באוקטובר 59' התקבל אצל פרידמן מכתב מלותר הרמן, ניצול שואה שבחר לארגנטינה, וטען כי אייכמן נראה בבואנוס איירס בארגנטינה. פרידמן העביר את המידע למוסד, וב-23 במאי הודיע בן גוריון מעל בימת הכנסת כי אייכמן נמצא בישראל.

 

ב-24.5.60, יום לאחר ההודעה, פרסם רפאל בשן, כתב מעריב, טור. "היה זה יומו הגדול של איש ממוצע קומה, בעל עיניים נוגות והליכות הססניות, הנושא תדיר תיק עור ישן ומסמורטט תחת בית שחיו – יומו הגדול של טוביה פרידמן", כתב. "לא, הוא לא לכד במו ידיו את רב הטבחים – את המלאכה הטובה והנקייה עשו הבחורים, אבל טוביה פרידמן יצר את האווירה לכך.

 

"העלה את זכרו של רב הטבחים הערמומי הזה לסדר יומנו, הציב אותו על ראש כל שמחתנו, החדיר אותו לתודעתנו. שבוע שבוע, חודש חודש הוא נדנד, והטריד, והתדפק על דלתות מוסדות וארגונים, ואישים, וחברי כנסת, ומזכירים ומזכירונים - ולא נתן לנו מנוח, ולא אפשר לנו לשכוח.

 

"ממשרדון קטן בעיר הכרמל, בלי פרוטה של תמיכה ציבורית, ניהל את המערכה שלו – נגד אייכמן, ונגד בירוקרטיה ואטימות מוחין של מוסדות מסורבלים, קהי רגש, קצרי רואי, שהתנכלו לדוקומנטציה שלו.

 

"15 שנים רצופות רדף אחרי אדולף אייכמן, אסף פרט לפרט, מסמך למסמך, תצלום לתצלום. התכתב עם כל קצוות תבל, שלח לתובע הכללי הגרמני 400 עמודים גדושי חומר על אייכמן. אתמול הגיע פרידמן לסוף הדרך".

 

3 ימים לאחר מכן ראיין בשן את פרידמן: "אני עייף", אמר לו פרידמן, "עייף מ-15 שנות אייכמן. זה היום הגדול בחיי".

 

"בלי הדוד שלי - לא היו מגלים את אייכמן לעולם", מחזיר אותי האחיין אמיר למאה ה-21. "באחד העיתונים כתבו, שאייכמן היה בסך הכל נמושה. מה תפסו? אדם זקן. אבל שכחו את הדבר הכי חשוב - שהקונץ היה להגיע אליו, לחפש אותו בין כל המדינות שעזרו לו, להביא אותו לידי המוסד, ואת זה הדוד שלי עשה, הוא".

 

אגב, בזמן המשפט היה פרידמן אחד האנשים היחידים שהורשו להיכנס אל תאו של אייכמן, ועד היום נמצאים דפים, כתובים בעט אדומה, עליהם כתב אייכמן את פרטי הפיתרון הסופי. "כל יום במהלך המשפט הדוד שלי היה שם. הרי אייכמן כתב לו מכלא רמלה 2 דפים עם עט אדומה, על כל הפיתרון הסופי. הדוד שלי נתן את זה אחר כך לספריה הלאומית בירושלים, אבל צריך לזכור שאייכמן כתב את זה באופן אישי לדוד שלי".

האויב מבית

שנה לאחר תפיסתו של אייכמן, ב-1961, הוציא פרידמן את ספרו "הצייד", שתורגם ל-5 שפות ויצא במספר מהדורות. אמיר מספר שאפילו במהלך הוצאת הספר נתקל דודו בקשיים, הפעם מבית.

"ב-1961, כשהוא בא לכתוב את הספר שלו, ובו סיפר שהוא עשה הכל, אז ראש המוסד דאז, איסר הראל, רצה למנוע ממנו את זה, אולי כי זה היה פוגע בספרו 'הבית ברחוב גריבלדי', שם היו פרטים מעט שונים מהפרטים שנתן דוד שלי. הוא לא הצליח מסיבה אחת, מכיוון שדוד שלי היה ביחסים טובים עם ז'קלין קנדי, שהייתה המו"ל של הספרייה הגדולה בעולם, והוציאה את הספר במספר שפות. מול גב שכזה אי אפשר להתווכח", נזכר קנגון.

 

סיפור נוסף שמתאר קנגון, מגלה סערה שהתחוללה סביב פרס ק.צטניק: "השכן שלי בתל אביב היה יחיאל דינור (ק.צטניק), וכשהוא כתב את סלמנדרה הוא הקדיש אותו לבן שלי, רוני, שבכיו, כך טען, השאיר אותו שפוי בלילות בהם כתב.

 

"פילו הילדים שלו לא ידעו, שהספרים שהם קוראים ולומדים נכתבו בידי אבא שלהם. יום אחד הוא סיפר לי על קרן ק.צטניק, ועל פרס של מיליון דולרים שמוענק דרכה. 'אני רוצה שהפרס יינתן לדוד שלך', אמר לי, 'מכיוון שהוא פועל מהארץ, וכל השאר לא. בסוף קיבל את הפרס אלי ויזל. אנחנו שתקנו, אבל דינור החליט שהוא מפסיק לתת את הפרס בעקבות המקרה".

 

אך סיפור זה הוא רק טיפה בים, לטענת קנגון, ודודו נאלץ להילחם בבירוקרטיה הישראלית לא פעם. אם מול אנשים מסוימים במוסד (למרות שעם השר לשעבר, רפי איתן, נשאר בקשרים מצוינים עד מותו) או אפילו "יד ושם", אשר בראש סניפו החיפאי עמד שלוש שנים עד אשר הסתכסך עם ראשיו ב-1956, בעקבות 2 מסיבות עיתונאים מפורסמות, בהן הציג מסמכים רבים שאסף בוינה אודות נאצים.

 

המדינה לא ביקשה את הסגרתם, ו"יד ושם", שטענה כי מטרתה תיעוד הנספים ולא רדיפת נאצים, אילצה את פרידמן לעזוב כעבור שנה את שורותיה. אז החליט פרידמן לייסד את "המכון לדוקומנטציה בישראל לחקר פעולות הפושעים הנאציים", שמטרתו הייתה חיבור ספרים בנושאי השואה, תביעת מדינות אשר ברשותן רכוש שנגזל מיהודים בשואה ועריכת תערוכות והרצאות בנושא השואה בארץ ובחו"ל. אחת התערוכות הציגה במרכז האקדמי כרמל עשרות צילומים המתעדים את תקופת השואה, אותם מסר פרידמן.

 

בצילומים נראים יהודי אירופה בגטאות, במחנות ההשמדה, וחלקם צולמו על ידי הנאצים דקות לפני ביצוע הוצאות להורג המוניות. כל הצילומים נתונים במסגרות ששוחזרו ושופצו, לקראת הצגתם בתערוכה. "הצגת התערוכה היא מחווה לטוביה פרידמן, שמפעל חייו היה להביא לדין פושעי מלחמה נאצים", מסר אז נשיא המרכז האקדמי, פרופסור יחזקאל טלר, "אבל חשיבותה בצורך שלנו לא רק לזכור, אלא גם להזכיר לדורות הבאים את אימת הימים ההם".

 

גם את המכון הזה הקים פרידמן מאפס, ועבד בו בהתנדבות עד אפריל 1958, כאשר הקונגרס הציוני העולמי החליט לאשר מימון חודשי של 200 לירות לפעילות המכון. נכון לשנת 2005 הוציא המכון לדוקומנטציה, יותר מ-150 פרסומים וכ-20 ספרים בנושא השואה.

הכי קרוב למנגלה

פעילות נוספת שהייתה לחם חוקו של פרידמן, היא פעולותיו לביטול ההתיישנות בחוק הגרמני על פשעי הנאצים. פרידמן לחם בנושא רבות, ולאחר כעשרים שנות מאבק הוחלט בבונדסטאג לבטל את ההתיישנות על פשעי רצח ורצח עם.

  

יוזף מנגלה צילום: אי-פי

אחד המקרים בהם לא ויתר פרידמן, היה איתורו של ד"ר יוזף מנגלה, אליו לקח גם את אחיינו אמיר: "הייתי עם הדוד שלי 3 פעמים בבית של יוזף מנגלה לפני 20 שנה", הוא מספר. "ישבנו מול הבן שלו בעיירה גינזבורג, מאה ק"מ מהגבול השוויצרי בדרך למינכן.

 

"הבית נקרא 'בית חרושת לקוגלגרים', אבל היה לנו מידע מבוסס ששם גרה משפחתו. נסענו עם הרכב, הגענו לשם ודוד שלי התחזה לאחד הלקוחות, כדי לראות איפה מנגלה חי. נפגשנו עם הבן, האמא ודיברנו בעיקר על קוגלגרים. הוא לא חשד בכלום.

 

אחרי כמה ימים של ביקורים, על מנת שפחדנו שלא ניפול בפח, הגענו שוב לאותו בית חרושת וקבענו שדוד שלי יהיה בפנים ואני בחוץ. אם יקרה משהו - שיודיע ואגיע. בפעם השלישית דוד שלי הצליח להבין מהבן איפה מנגלה נמצא. באותו הרגע גם הבן הבין שהוא נפל למלכוד. הוא ניסה לתפוס את הדוד שלי, וסגר עליו את דלת הברזל של הכניסה לבית.

 

"דוד שלי אותת לי, ואני עם המכונית פרצתי פנימה והוצאתי אותו. לצערי אז לא היו פלאפונים, וכשיצאנו משם הרמנו מייד טלפון לנציג של המוסד באותו אזור, ואמרנו לו שמנגלה נמצא במלון אנגלברג בציריך. אנשי המוסד רצו מהר לאזור, אבל בשעתיים הם פספסו אותו, מכיוון שהבן הספיק להזהיר אותו".

 

מנגלה לא נתפס מעולם, עד שבשנת 79' התגלתה גופת גבר שטבע מול חופי ברזיל. בדיקות DNA שנערכו לגופה לאחר מספר שנים גילו, כי מדובר באותו דוקטור רצחני, שמת משבץ בזמן ששחה בים.

 

כמו במקרה של ד"ר מנגלה, גם בשאר המקרים התלווית אל הדוד שלך? הרי כולם טוענים שאתה ממשיך הדרך שלו.

"תסתכל על התמונה (מצביע לי על אותה תמונה מוינה). ככה אנחנו כבר מגיל קטן. מגיל שנתיים הוא מחזיק לי את היד, ועכשיו אני החזקתי לו את היד. הרי כשהבן הבכור שלי נולד, קראתי לו רוני על שמו".

 

סיפור נוסף, שמראה את מידת התמדתו ועקשנותו של פרידמן, ניתן למצוא בסיפור בו הצליחו פרידמן וקנגון לאסוף מסמכים רבים מספריה בברלין. "יום אחד אומר לי הדוד שלי 'בוא ניסע לברלין. יש חוק מסוים לגבי הספריות, שטוען שאם עד שנה מסוימת האמריקאים לא רוצים לקחת את החומר איתם - זה נשאר אצל הגרמנים'.

 

"היה קולונל אמריקאי שקיבל 10 אלף דולרים, פלוס בונוסים לאשתו, כדי שיפנה את המקום. הגענו לשם בסוף שבוע, הבאנו צוות צילום, ולקחנו את כל המיקרו פילמים והמסמכים של הגסטאפו הגרמני שהיה שם. את הצילומים השארנו שם, כדי שלא יחשדו בכלום. הגענו לשגרירות בבון, ארתור היה השגריר, ומשם העברנו הכל למכון לדוקומנטציה בחיפה".

 

ואת כל המבצע הזה עשיתם רק שניכם?

"צריך לזכור שאת כל המבצעים הוא עשה לבד, ומפעם לפעם הוא ביקש שאני אעזור לו. הוא לבד, בלי שליחים. מפעל של בן אדם אחד, ואני רק עזרה קטנטנה לעתים".

 

את אייכמן דודך עזר ללכוד, מה בנוגע לאיוון דמיאניוק?

"לא היה לו בזה עניין, בעיניו דמיאניוק לא היה סחורה בכלל. הרי כמו דמיאניוק וגרועים ממנו היו עוד בעשרות אלפים".

נחזור רגע לבדיחה על שמעון פרס. פרידמן אמנם לא היה מוכר לציבור בארץ, אך בחיפה, בה בילה את רוב שנותיו, ידעו לתת לו את הכבוד הראוי לו, וב-2002 הוענק לו תואר יקיר העיר.

  

טוביה פרידמן צילום: באדיבות המשפחה

בכלל, נושא חיפה היה קרוב לליבו של פרידמן, ולכן, למרות בקשות מערים שונות בעולם, בחר את מקום מושבו, וגם את מכון הדוקומנטציה, בחיפה.

 

כעת אומר אחיינו, כי הוא הולך לשפץ את המקום ברחוב בן יהודה 31 בעיר, שהוזנח מעט בשנים האחרונות, ולהחזיר אותו לגדולתו. "דוד שלי תמיד אמר לי, כשהיינו טסים ברחבי העולם, שהחלום שלו הוא לקחת שתי פצצות אטום ולהפיל אותן על גרמניה. המסע שלו אף פעם לא נגמר".

 

לקראת סיום הראיון מקבל אמיר, לא איש קטן בכלל, שיחה, על הקו לשכת הנשיא, שמעון פרס, שהיה בקשרים טובים עם פרידמן עוד בחייו. אמיר לא מצליח להחזיק את עצמו, למשמע המחמאות מעבר לקו ודומע. כשאני שואל אותו מה הדבר הכי חשוב, שהוא רוצה שיזכרו מדודו - הוא משתנק בשנית, ונדמה בעיניי שוב כאותו ילד בן שנתיים, המחזיק ביד של דודו.

 

"אסכם זאת בשלושה משפטים: דוד מיוחד, דוד אחד ולעד אני אזכור אותך. זה מסכם את הכל מבחינתי. אין אחד כזה בכל כדור הארץ, שעשה מה שעשה הדוד שלי".

Wreck of ML133 at Camasnagaul.

 

NN 09440 75247

 

This Motor Launch blew up on the morning of 11th May 1943 killing CPO Frank Hopkins who is buried in Glen Nevis

 

www.mbriscoe.me.uk/page11.html

 

The ML133 Disaster

  

Built by Lady Bee Ltd. Of Shoreham, Sussex, ML 133 was 75ft in length (cf. above) and was launched on November 18th 1940, commissioned on December 4 1940 and completed eight days later. The following account was written by Mr Christopher Wardle who was on board at the time:

  

The Death of the 133. (A very vivid Memory}

  

As it happened.....No bullshit...The real and true facts.

  

I was a crew member for the entire life of the boat, I joined it in England, sailed it to Scotland and we were the original ML Training Flotilla, the Flotilla consisted of several B class ML’s

  

The crew of all the B class ML’s at that time was 11 personnel. The 133 was the flotilla leader and carried a fully fledged CPO as coxswain, a Leading Telegrapher, a two-and-a-half ring (Lt Cdr) skipper, who incidentally at the time of the incident was in Inverness at a conference on fire-fighting.... would you believe. So the crew of all the flotilla of ML’s at the time consisted of The Captain, the 1st Lt...usually a very very young kid with one ring (Sub. Lt). Almost every Officer was ‘Wavy Navy’ (RNVR), the only regular navy on board was myself and the coxswain all the rest were Hos (Hostility Only).

  

We also had two ‘Mickey Mouses’ (Motor Mechanics), usually ex-garage mechanics and extremely competent guys, a telegraphist, who, since there was little on-air radio work served as the Officers flunky and above deck signalman, a Coxswain and 5 seamen, either ordinary or able seaman a total of 11.

  

It was a clear cold morning in May. The 133 was doing what was called guard duties. What we were guarding, I have no idea. But we asked no questions. We just did what we was told to do.

  

So the morning of the 11th May 1943 we were swinging around a buoy (near Camusnagaul) with a watchman on the upper deck protecting all the good folk at Fort William. Usually the coxswain poked his head into the mess deck and ‘Called the hands’, but for some reason he didn’t so I, as next in seniority did the honours.

  

One of the Motor Mechanics....Geordie... I think he was the oldest guy on board, maybe in his 40s ...very old to a young 23! Anyway he went into the engine room to start up a small motor we used for washing down the upper deck; always the first duty of the day. In the meantime the rest of the crew were either dressing, in the toilet, or trying to use the bathroom....all bleary eyed, ....Still no sign of the coxswain....very unusual. He was an extremely efficient CPO... no nonsense...ran the ship extremely well.

  

I was just in the middle of dressing when there was this explosion. I ran up the hatch to the upper deck. The 2 sides of boat had blown outboard from the wardroom to the forecastle and Geordie was laying on the starboard side groaning with one of his eyes hanging loose. Fire had engulfed the entire engine room. When Geordie had started the small motor there had been petrol fumes in the bilges and a spark must have caused the explosion and the fire.

  

He was in no condition to do anything; he was shocked and injured. The first thing was to call the coxswain CPO Frank (Polly) Hopkins... we battered on his door ...but no response. His door opened inward, refused to budge, think the explosion had lifted the bilge boards and jammed his door... But why wasn’t he answering? I just don’t know, we had nothing with which to smash his door, but we tried. In the end we all took to the upper deck....there was no panic...just a bunch of guys watching the fire getting bigger and bigger’

  

Being built of timber the boat stayed afloat tied up to the mooring buoy, even though both her sides had been blown almost flat against the water. Christopher continues….

  

‘The skipper was away. The young Jimmy (1st Lieutenant) was already in the water so I was the senior guy left and I told everyone to get into the water. We had no means at all to fight the fire, we couldn’t sink her , the sea cocks and all the extinguishers were in the engine room and there was no way we could help Geordie so we abandoned ship.

  

I swam towards the pier a mile away; it was bloody cold too! Some of the flotilla from around the corner obviously saw the smoke and dropped anchor and came a running. I was picked up by the 154. The sparker aboard was a friend, who took great delight hurling a lifebuoy at me before helping me aboard.

  

The big explosion came as we were swimming towards the pier; all the ammunition and the 100 octane petrol, 4000 gallons of it, I believe. The depth charges too probably went up. That was quite a bang. I heard later quite a few windows were lost in the town and whether this was true or not, I heard it said they found parts of the 3 pounder gun near the Ben!

  

From that point didn’t know what was transpiring. We were all taken to the base and fitted out (with dry clothing etc.) ‘cos we were all fairly naked having only just got out of our bunks, and in a couple of days we were all sent on leave. I was sent for by Commander Welman, the CO of the base who grilled me on what happened. He seemed more concerned with pages from the confidential books that had been washed ashore as they were supposed to be kept in a locked safe. He wanted to know how they were loose and floating around. I told him the 1st Lt had them out to make the new admiralty adjustments to them and hadn’t had time to replace them, I guess.

  

I served the rest of my time as an instructor at the base. I heard the divers had found the coxswain at the bottom of the Hatch, he had obviously made it out of his cabin but only as far as the hatch just outside his door. I was sent on leave and didn’t even get chance to go to the coxswains funeral.

May 2010

  

One of the boats which raced to the scene was the local ferry boat driven by local man Archie McLean. Having picked up a number of men from the water, Archie quickly realised that CPO Hopkins was still aboard. Manoeuvring his boat through the smoke and flames, Archie managed to get it alongside the stricken vessel. Despite being aware that it was full of high octane petrol, live ammunition and probably some depth charges too, he attempted to recue the missing man. As he was about to climb aboard, the second explosion occurred and the attempt had to be abandoned. Archie was awarded honorary membership of the Coastal Forces Veterans Association and was proud to attend the annual reunions of the Coastal veterans who visited the town thereafter.

  

Geordie, fortunately survived the accident and C.P.O. Frank Hopkins is buried in Glen Nevis. Unfortunately his wife watched the whole incident while not realising that her husband had been killed. Meanwhile, the wreck of ML 133 can still be seen on the Camasnagaul shore at low water.

On November 11, 1982, the Haggerty lion was placed in Oakwood as a memorial to Michael Charles Haggerty who died at age 14 in an auto accident in 1974. His brother Thomas, who was two years younger than Michael, was an art student at Syracuse University when his parents asked him to create a special and original memorial. Michael had always liked lions and his mother thought a lion would be appropriate - a friendly protector, inviting but with claws. Thomas began work on the monument in the summer of 1981. He formed the clay image in his garage, spraying and wrapping his work each night. After this initial phase, the large figure was moved outside of his home and his work was supervised by an SU instructor. After a year's work, the 620 pound bronze statue was ready for placement. Michael had originally been buried at St. Mary's in DeWitt, but the authorities responsible for the diocese cemeteries objected to the monument. Michael was then reinterred in a special spot at Oakwood with the lion standing guard. Many people do not know about the Haggerty lion because it is situated in a wooded area and during seasons with leaves, it is well concealed. The lion can be found across the road from the Chapel. At the corner where the woods begin is a small trail which leads about 20 feet up a small incline to the monument.
