EXTRACTS from the Anthology "Blouse Roumaine"

 

Princess Ileana of Romania on Ana Pauker:

“Last, but certainly not least was Ana Pauker. A big, stout woman, with short, untidy grey hair, fierce blue eyes, under lowering eyebrows, and a fascinating smile which was not spoiled by the fact that her upper lip hung over her lower one, she made one know that here was a real personality. I have always felt when I was with her that she was like a boa constrictor, which has just been fed, and therefore is not going to eat you – at the moment! Heavy and sluggish as she seemed, she had all that is repellent and yet horridly fascinating in a snake. I could well imagine, simply for watching her, that she had denounced her own husband, who in consequence was shot; and my further acquaintance with her showed me the cold and dehumanised brilliance by which she had reached the powerful position she occupied.”

(Princess Ileana de Romania, "I live Again")

 

Rabbi Alexander Safran on Ana Pauker:

“Ana Pauker, a rabbi’s daughter… when she was Minister of Foreign Affairs, she wanted everybody to know, especially when I was present, that she was not a Jew, she was a communist”...

“… when she saw me approaching the Prime Minister and the other Ministers she stepped out of the line and turned aside for a moment in order not to greet me. She thus thought to demonstrate that she, the communist, did not want anything to do with the Chief Rabbi and Jewry; that she had less in common with him than even the other members of Government...”

“…the expression of Ana Pauker’s face during her time of glory, had always been impertinent”.

(Alexander Safran, Great Rabbi of Switzerland ,

formerly Great Rabbi of Romania:

"Resisting the storm, Romania, 1940-1947",

op.cit 139, 161, 166)

 

Tesu Solomovici on Ana Pauker:

“The most shining star amongst the huge number of Moscow-trained spies and activists was, doubtless, the Jewish communist Ana Pauker. She personally knew Joseph Vissarionovitch Stalin and worked under the orders and direct command of the henchmen of the Soviet repressive services, Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria, Victor Semyonovitch Abakumov, Piotr Vassilievitch Fedotov and Pavel Mihailovitch Fitin and furthermore she enjoyed the admiration of yet another dinosaur of Soviet power – Vyacheslav Molotov . Notwithstanding all that, Gheorghiu-Dej succeeded, with patient cunning to pluck out all her feathers.”

(Solomovitch: 54-55)

Preserved and on display at Musee Delta, Orly Airport, Paris, France

 

Concorde 02 F-WTSA was fourth aircraft to be manufactured, and the second of preproduction aircraft.

 

Sierra-Alpha was the first to have dimensions and the shape of future the production aircraft: it had the extended tail cone fitted as well as the production specification secondary engine nozzle, with the thrust reverse buckets.

 

02 was the first Concorde to be visit the United States when she visited Dallas, Texas on September 20, 1973. It returned to Europe by carrying out the first crossing of the North Atlantic, between Washington and Orly, under the conditions of a passenger flight, with 32 passengers invited on his board on the September 26, 1973. The flight time was in 3 hours and 33 minutes of effective flight, with a block time of 3 hours and 47 minutes.

 

For several years during testing the aircraft was painted in British Airways colours on one side and Air France's 1970's livery on the other, although still being registered as a French aircraft. Today it has an Air France colour scheme

 

The aircraft completed its 313rd and final test flight on January 29, 1976. Its work took in such areas as the development of new engines, and a considerable number (134) rolling runway tests for amongst other things the certification of the new carbon brakes, the water deflectors and thrust reversers...etc?

 

F-WTSA's final flight was between Toulouse and Paris Orly on May 20, 1976. Takeoff was at 15:19 ans seh arrived into at Orly 16:26, where an ADP team will take over responsibility for the aircraft. It was gifted to ADP, the operator of Orly and other Paris airport in 1976 to replace a full size wooden replica that was originally on show at the airport, which was destroyed by fire a few years earlier.

 

The aircraft was decommissioned with the engines and of many parts being recovered to be used as spares on the Air France fleet. As the aircraft was going on public display its test equipment installations were removed, and its cabin was reconfigured to give her the interior of an in-service aircraft.

 

In 1988, ADP, the Orly airport operator decided that Concorde 02 was no longer a priority and condemned it to be scrap and to be cut out of pieces. Athis-Paray-Aviation saved Sierra Alpha from this tragedy, and since April 12, 1988, it has been on display at the Museum Delta in Athis-Mons, just outside the airport.

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

The Mini Moke is a vehicle based on the Mini and designed for the British Motor Corporation (BMC) by Sir Alec Issigonis.[2] The name comes from "Mini"—the car with which the Moke shares many parts—and "Moke", which is an archaic dialect term for donkey.[3][4][5]

 

The initial design was a prototype for a light military vehicle in the style of the American Jeep, but its small wheels and low ground clearance made it impractical as an off-road vehicle. It was subsequently offered in a civilian version as a low-cost, easily maintained utility vehicle. The Moke finally achieved success as a beach buggy—becoming a popular 'cult' vehicle in the Seychelles, Australia, the United States and many tropical resorts in the Caribbean. The original Moke used identical engine, transmission and suspension parts to the basic Mini.[6][7]

 

Mokes were first built at the Morris factory in Oxford before production moved to BMC's Longbridge, Birmingham plant, and eventually overseas. 14,500 Mokes were produced in the UK between 1964 and 1968, 26,000 in Australia between 1966 and 1981, and 10,000 in Portugal between 1980 and 1993 when production of the Moke ended.[4]

Ответ из Божьего слова:

 

Приближение конца всего сущего означает конец Божьего труда и конец развития человечества. Это означает, что человечество, будучи прельщенным сатаной, достигло конца своего развития и что потомки Адама и Евы размножились до соответствующих пределов, и это также означает, что развитие такого человечества, которое стало прельщенным сатаной, не может продолжаться... Когда Его труд завершится, те люди, которые останутся, будут очищены и насладятся более дивной второй человеческой жизнью на земле, поскольку войдут в человеческое царство высшего порядка; иными словами, они войдут в день покоя человечества и будут жить вместе с Богом. После того как те, которые не могут уцелеть, подвергнутся обличению и суду, их изначальные формы будут полностью изобличены; после этого они все будут уничтожены, и им, как и сатане, больше не будет предоставлена возможность выживания на земле. В человечестве будущего никаких подобных типов людей больше не будет; данные люди не годятся для того, чтобы вступить на землю окончательного покоя, не годятся они и для участия в дне покоя, который Бог разделит с человеком, ибо они являются целью для наказания, являются нечестивыми, и это люди неправедные… Его величайший труд по наказанию зла и вознаграждению добра совершается всецело для того, чтобы целиком и полностью очистить все человечество, дабы Он смог привести абсолютно святое человечество к вечному покою. Данный этап Его работы – это Его наиважнейший труд. Это завершающий этап всей Его работы управления. Если бы Бог не уничтожил нечестивцев, а позволил бы им уцелеть, в таком случае все человечество не смогло бы войти в покой, и Бог не смог бы привести человечество в лучший мир. И данная работа не была бы полностью завершена. Когда Он закончит Свою работу, все человечество будет святым целиком и полностью. Только в таком случае Бог может умиротворенно жить в покое.

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.

Sarah Palin's political appeal has never had anything to do with facts — or coherent policy positions. The more she is attacked for not being in possession of pointy-headed erudition, the more powerful she becomes as an avatar of the anti-elite cause. As Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review, has correctly observed, “She represents less a philosophical strain on the right than an affect and a demographic.”

 

That demographic is white and non-urban: Just look at the stops and the faces on her carefully calibrated book tour. The affect is emotional — the angry air of grievance that emerged first at her campaign rallies in 2008, with their shrieked threats to Obama, and that has since resurfaced in the Hitler-fixated “tea party” movement (which she endorses in her book).

 

It’s a politics of victimization and sloganeering with no policy solutions required beyond the conservative mantra of No Taxes. Its standard-bearer can make stuff up with impunity: “Thanks, but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere”; Obama’s palling around with terrorists”; health care “death panels.”

 

. . . But no matter how much Palin tries to pass for “center-right,” she’s unlikely to fool that vast pool of voters left, right and center who have already written her off as unqualified for the White House. The G.O.P. establishment knows this, and is frightened. The demographic that Palin attracts is in decline; there’s no way the math of her fan base adds up to an Electoral College victory.

 

Culture is politics. Palin is at the red-hot center of age-old American resentments that have boiled up both from the ascent of our first black president and from the intractability of the Great Recession for those Americans who haven’t benefited from bailouts. As Palin thrives on the ire of the left, so she does from the disdain of Republican leaders who, with a condescension rivaling the sexism they decry in liberals, belittle her as a lightweight or instruct her to eat think-tank spinach.

 

The only person who can derail Palin is Palin herself. Should she not self-destruct, she will doom G.O.P. hopes of a 2012 comeback.

 

But the rest of the country cannot rest easy. The rage out there is larger than Palin and defies partisan labeling. . . . If Obama can’t tamp down that rage across the political map, Palin will at the very least pave the way for a demagogue with less baggage to pick up her torch.

The Palin phenomenon offers an opportunity for conservatives to choose their path to the future. Will it be a path of the angry and disenfranchised outsider, or will it be something of substance that produces triumphs in both politics and policy?

 

The victim thing is getting old.

 

Conservatives have a significant presence in virtually every venue they like to denounce. That includes government and especially the media. Talk radio rules, and the rulers are conservatives. Fox News Channel dominates the ratings.

 

. . . Victimization plays well with the conservative base and that's a problem. If conservatives don't rise from the muck of feeling excluded, disrespected, ignored and mocked, they will continue to suffer all of these things. There is nothing like proving the worth of your ideas to put the mockers in their place. Victimization can raise money, sell books and get one face time on TV, but it doesn't advance the ball.

A anchorman afresh asked Edmunds about the kinds of claimed advice that can affect the bulk of car insurance. She aswell capital to apperceive whether humans could do annihilation to abode claimed factors that were befitting their car allowance ante high.Vehicle insurance.

 

They’re acceptable questions, and Edmunds was blessed to advice acknowledgment them. During the analysis it became bright that if it comes to car insurance, there’s hardly annihilation that isn’t personal. Actuality are 5 all-about-you factors that can affect your car allowance premium:

1: Your active profile.

Such factors as the bulk of afar you drive annually and your blow and admission history are above elements in ambience your allowance rate. The beneath you drive, the beneath blow of an blow and a claim. Safer active acceptation a history chargeless of accidents and affective violations .Car Insurance Australia.aswell credibility to anyone who’s beneath acceptable to book a claim.

2:The car you drive.

 

Car allowance premiums are based in allotment on the car’s sticker price, the bulk to adjustment it, its all-embracing assurance almanac and the likelihood of theft, according to the Allowance Advice Institute. The bulk of acclimation a aboriginal $225,000 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia is traveling to be a lot added than the adjustment costs for a acclimated $17,000 Nissan Altima. The exceptional will reflect this.

3: Your capital claimed information

 

including your age, action and area you live. Each of these things factors into the action of ambience your allowance bulk because allowance companies abject their premiums on actuarial advice about drivers. They attending for patterns of claims action a part of humans like you. A boyish boy is acceptable to accept a college allowance bulk than a middle-aged driver, because statistically, boyish boys accept added accidents than do 40-year-olds.Car Insurance Australia.

 

Your action can play a role if it affects how abundant active you do. Work that involves lots of afar on the road, such as an alfresco sales job, can affect rates. From the allowance company’s point of view, the added afar you drive agency added blow of an accident.

 

Insurance companies aswell attending at area you live. They clue bounded trends of accidents, car thefts, lawsuits and the bulk of medical affliction and car repair, according to the Allowance Advice Institute.

4: The advantage you choose

 

The added advantage you accept and the lower the deductible you set, the added you’ll pay.

5:Your acclaim score

 

Some allowance companies use acclaim array as a agency in ambience rates. This convenance is advancing beneath attack, however, with seven states in 2010 casual regulations apropos the use of acclaim advice in insurance. In 2011, several added accompaniment legislatures alien bills to adapt the practice.

 

Actuarial studies appearance that how a getting manages his or her banking diplomacy is an authentic augur of the bulk and Car Insurance Australia.admeasurement of allowance claims he or she ability file, according to the Allowance Advice Institute.

 

If you wish to lower your allowance costs, you can’t change your age, or calmly change your job or hometown. But there are some claimed changes you can make:

1:Accede pay-as-you-drive insurance

 

It’s a paradox, but the added claimed you get, the bigger your ante ability be. Pay-as-you-drive programs action bigger ante because they’re tailored to how you alone drive — as adjoin to the humans who are agnate to you in agreement of age or added changeless factors.

 

This agency that a jailbait who is an accomplished disciplinarian — who doesn’t speed, doesn’t drive at night and doesn’t drive abounding afar — can get a bigger bulk than the boilerplate teenager, whose actuarial contour pegs him as a greater risk, based on the blow history for humans his age.

 

Pay-as-you-drive affairs accept altered configurations, depending on the allowance aggregation and state. Some crave that you install a telematics accessory that transmits advice about your absolute active (such as speed, breadth and braking patterns) to the allowance company. Others, such as affairs acceptable in California, Car Insurance Quotes.alone are based on the bulk of afar you drive, not how you drive.

2:Be a calmer, added accurate driver

 

If you’ve had dispatch tickets in the past, boldness to change from getting a speedy, advancing disciplinarian to a calm one. A ancillary anniversary is that you’ll save money on gasoline. Edmunds testing has aswell apparent that a calm active appearance gets you 35 percent bigger ammunition economy.

3:Accept a car with a lower bulk of ownership

 

Edmunds has a True Bulk to Own (TCO) apparatus that lets you admeasurement up cars if you’re shopping. It takes into anniversary eight apparatus — depreciation, absorption on financing, taxes and fees, allowance premiums, fuel, maintenance, aliment and any federal tax acclaim that may be accessible — and tells you what your bulk would be over 5 years. It’s a way to get a examination of what your allowance premiums ability be. Also, allocution to your allowance aggregation if you’re car arcade to get a adduce on how your best will affect your insurance. If you delay until the accord is done, you’ve absent a adventitious to administer your costs.Car Insurance Australia.

4: Change your coverage

 

Don’t go for every alarm and blare in an auto allowance policy. If you’re accommodating to pay a hardly college deductible, you can wind up extenuative big on your rates. Traveling from a $250 to a $1,000 deductible could save you 25-40 percent on your policy. Set abreast a allocation of these funds to awning your costs in the accident of a claim.

 

If you accept an earlier car with absolute and blow coverage, you ability acquisition yourself paying added in allowance than the car is worth. One tip: Take your absolute and blow premiums and add those up. Multiply by 10. If your car is account beneath than that amount, don’t buy the coverage. If you’re afraid about getting larboard overexposed, accede this: The archetypal policyholder makes a affirmation alone already every 11 years, and letters a absolute accident alone already every 50 years.

5:Explore discounts for which you ability be qualified

 

The options accessible cover discounts for low-mileage drivers, for seniors and for cars with anti-theft accessories and assertive assurance devices. It’s a diffuse account — just ask your insurer about any discounts, and go from there.

6: Clean up your credit

 

Keep it in acceptable appearance by paying bills on time and by consistently blockage that there are no items on your history that do not accord to you. You can get chargeless anniversary acclaim address checks here.

 

Is there claimed advice that doesn’t matter? Gender, one able told us. Allowance companies don’t affliction if you’re changeable or macho as continued as you’re a safe driver. And it’s a allegory that red cars accept college allowance ante than those antic added sedate shades, according to the Allowance Advice Institute. Ultimately, allowance companies affliction about how acceptable it is that a accurate disciplinarian would end up authoritative or causing a cher affirmation adjoin them. Green is the alone blush that matters.

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

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]

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

Dopo i patimenti che ho sopportato, il mio amore per Dio è ancora più forte

  

di Zhou Rui, Provincia del Jiangxi

 

Mi chiamo Zhou Rui e sono un cristiano della Chiesa di Dio Onnipotente. Fin da quando ho cominciato a capire le cose, ho sempre visto i miei genitori lavorare sodo nei campi da mattina a sera per guadagnarsi da vivere. Malgrado il loro impegno intenso, riuscivano a malapena a guadagnare dei soldi anno dopo anno, perciò la nostra famiglia ha vissuto sempre in estrema povertà. Quando vedevo le persone potenti e influenti vivere comodamente senza dover faticare, provavo invidia nei loro confronti, e così presi una ferma decisione: da grande avrei avuto sicuramente una carriera di successo o mi sarei conquistato una posizione governativa per ovviare alla povertà e all’arretratezza della mia famiglia, in modo che anche i miei genitori potessero vivere come i ricchi. Tuttavia, pur avendo lottato molti anni per questo ideale, non sono mai riuscito a ottenere ciò che desideravo; ho continuato a vivere in povertà. Spesso sospiravo per la preoccupazione di non avere tratto nessun risultato dal mio impegno, e a poco a poco ho perso fiducia nella vita. Proprio quando cominciavo a scoraggiarmi e a disperare della vita, sono venuto a conoscenza della salvezza offerta da Dio Onnipotente negli ultimi giorni. Nelle Sue parole ho colto alcune verità e sono giunto a conoscere la causa principale della sofferenza umana nel mondo. Inoltre ho capito come le persone debbano vivere perché la loro vita sia ricca di significato e degna di essere vissuta. Da allora in poi, per quanto fossi stato confuso e smarrito, ho trovato il mio orientamento nella vita. Lasciandomi alle spalle la depressione e lo sconforto, ho scoperto una nuova vitalità e nuove prospettive, e ho visto speranza per la mia vita. Dopo di che, per consentire anche a quanti ancora vivevano nella sofferenza e nello smarrimento di conseguire questa rarissima salvezza, ho cominciato ad andare di luogo in luogo, predicando energicamente la salvezza offerta da Dio negli ultimi giorni. Ciò che non mi aspettavo, però, era che durante la mia attività di diffusione del Vangelo sarei stato arrestato due volte dal governo cinese e avrei subito torture brutali e disumane… In questo buio abisso di mostruosità, Dio Onnipotente non mi ha mai abbandonato; le Sue parole mi hanno trasmesso fede e forza, conducendomi ripetutamente alla vittoria sulle forze oscure di Satana e rafforzando il mio amore per Dio.

 

Era un giorno di giugno del 2003; io e due fratelli eravamo andati in un villaggio a diffondere il Vangelo, quando siamo stati denunciati da una persona malvagia. Cinque o sei agenti con tre auto della polizia si sono avvicinati rapidamente a noi e ci hanno ammanettati senza farci nemmeno una domanda. A calci e spintoni, ci hanno costretti a salire in auto e ci hanno condotti all’Ufficio di Pubblica Sicurezza. In auto non ho avuto affatto paura. Avevo sempre ritenuto che lo scopo della diffusione del Vangelo fosse offrire la salvezza alle persone, perciò non avevamo fatto niente di male; una volta arrivati all’Ufficio, avrei spiegato la situazione e la polizia ci avrebbe rilasciati. Non potevo sapere, però, che i poliziotti del governo cinese fossero più crudeli ed efferati di qualsiasi canaglia o tiranno malvagio. Arrivati all’Ufficio, i poliziotti non ci hanno dato nemmeno la possibilità di dare spiegazioni prima di separarci e interrogarci singolarmente. Ero appena entrato nella stanza degli interrogatori quando un poliziotto mi ha urlato: “La politica del Partito Comunista è ‘clemenza per chi confessa, severità per chi resiste’. Lo sapevi?” Dopo di che ha chiesto i miei dati personali. Vedendo che le mie risposte non lo soddisfacevano, un altro poliziotto mi si è avvicinato e ha grugnito: “Bah. Non stai collaborando. Ti daremo una lezione, così forse ci dirai la verità”. Poi ha fatto un gesto con la mano dicendo: “Portate qui dei mattoni così possiamo punirlo!” Due poliziotti si sono avvicinati all’istante, mi hanno preso una mano e me l’hanno strattonata da sopra la spalla e dietro la schiena, mentre mi tiravano l’altra mano in alto, e poi me le hanno ammanettate a forza. Ho subito provato un dolore insopportabile, come se mi si stessero spezzando le braccia. Come poteva una persona così debole sopportare un simile tormento? Un attimo dopo sono crollato a terra. Al che i malvagi poliziotti mi hanno bruscamente sollevato le manette e mi hanno infilato due mattoni fra le mani e la schiena. Un dolore acuto, improvviso, mi è penetrato fino al cuore, come se migliaia di formiche mi stessero masticando le ossa. In preda alla sofferenza, ho usato tutte le forze rimanenti per implorare Dio: “Dio Onnipotente, salvami. Dio Onnipotente, salvami…” Anche se all’epoca avevo accolto la salvezza offerta da Dio negli ultimi giorni solo da circa tre mesi, non conoscevo ancora molte Sue parole e capivo soltanto poche verità, ciò nonostante, grazie alle mie continue suppliche, Dio mi ha concesso fede e forza e mi ha trasmesso una ferma convinzione: dovevo rimanere saldo nella testimonianza a Dio; non dovevo assolutamente arrendermi a Satana! Perciò ho stretto i denti e mi sono rifiutato categoricamente di dire altro. Innervositi ed esasperati, i malvagi poliziotti hanno escogitato un altro brutale stratagemma nel tentativo di soggiogarmi: hanno collocato per terra due mattoni e mi hanno costretto a inginocchiarmici sopra; allo stesso tempo mi strattonavano con forza le manette. Ho provato subito un dolore così lancinante alle braccia che mi sembrava si fossero spezzate. Mi sono sforzato di rimanere lì inginocchiato per qualche minuto prima di ricadere a terra inerte, al che i poliziotti mi hanno di nuovo sollevato violentemente per le manette e mi hanno costretto a stare ancora in ginocchio. Mi hanno torturato ripetutamente in questo modo. Era piena estate, perciò il caldo acuiva la mia sofferenza; dal viso mi colavano continue gocce di sudore. Facevo tanta fatica a tenermi su che non riuscivo a respirare e sono quasi svenuto. Ciò nonostante, questa banda di poliziotti malvagi non faceva che godere della mia disgrazia. “Ti senti bene?” mi ha detto uno. “Se continui a rifiutarti di parlare, abbiamo tanti altri metodi per convincerti!” Vedendo che non rispondevo, erano furenti per la frustrazione e mi hanno detto: “Allora non ne hai avuto abbastanza? Ancora!” … Dopo due o tre ore di questo tormento, ero dolorante dalla testa ai piedi e non mi restavano più forze. Sono caduto a terra senza riuscire a muovermi e ho perso anche il controllo della vescica e dell’intestino. Di fronte alla tortura spietata di questi malvagi poliziotti, ho odiato me stesso per essere stato così cieco e ignorante; ingenuamente, avevo dato per scontato che l’Ufficio di Pubblica Sicurezza fosse un luogo in cui poter ragionare e che i poliziotti avrebbero difeso la giustizia e mi avrebbero rilasciato. Non mi sarei mai aspettato che fossero tanto malevoli e crudeli da voler estorcere una confessione con le sevizie senza un briciolo di prove, torturandomi fin quasi alla morte. Sono davvero la massima espressione del male! Ero steso a terra come fatto a pezzi, e non mi sarei potuto muovere nemmeno se l’avessi voluto. Non sapevo in che modo intendessero ancora torturarmi, né quanto sarei riuscito a resistere. Nella mia sofferenza e nel mio smarrimento, non potevo far altro che implorare continuamente Dio di darmi la forza di sopportare ancora. Dio ha ascoltato le mie suppliche e ha avuto pietà di me, facendomi rammentare uno dei suoi discorsi: “Questo è un momento cruciale. Fai in modo di non demoralizzarti e di non scoraggiarti. Devi guardare avanti in ogni cosa e non voltarti indietro, […] Finché avrai respiro, persevera fino alla fine; solo questo sarà degno di lode” (Capitolo 20 di “Discorsi di Cristo al principio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Le parole di Dio mi hanno trasmesso fede e forza in gran quantità. Erano così vere! Poiché stavo percorrendo il cammino della luce e della giustizia, dovevo avere la fede per andare avanti; fossi anche giunto al mio ultimo respiro, dovevo comunque perseverare sino alla fine! Le parole di Dio pulsavano di forza vitale e mi hanno dato la fede e il coraggio per combattere sino alla fine questi demoni malvagi, e così lentamente ho riacquistato anche un po’ di forza fisica. Dopo di che, i malvagi poliziotti hanno continuato a interrogarmi, pestandomi spietatamente i piedi fino a schiacciarmeli e a straziarmeli. Tuttavia non provavo più dolore. Sapevo che tutto questo era dovuto agli atti meravigliosi di Dio; avendo avuto pietà di me e mostrato sollecitudine per la mia debolezza, mi alleviava la sofferenza. In seguito i malvagi poliziotti ci hanno trattenuti con l’accusa di “turbamento dell’ordine pubblico”. Quella sera hanno ammanettato ciascuno di noi a un blocco di cemento di 150-200 chili, a cui siamo rimasti incatenati fino alla sera dopo, quando ci hanno trasferiti al locale centro di detenzione.

 

Entrare nel centro di detenzione è stato come precipitare in una sorta di inferno. Gli agenti penitenziari mi costringevano a infilare insieme lampadine colorate. Inizialmente dovevo infilarne seimila al giorno, ma poi la quantità è aumentata ogni giorno fino ad arrivare a dodicimila. In conseguenza di questo eccessivo carico di lavoro quotidiano, le dita mi si erano assottigliate fino all’osso, eppure non riuscivo comunque a portare a termine il mio compito. Non avevo altra scelta che continuare a infilarle per tutta la notte. Talvolta non ce la facevo proprio più e volevo fare un pisolino, ma non appena se ne accorgevano mi bastonavano brutalmente. Gli agenti penitenziari incitavano perfino i bulli del carcere dicendo ad alta voce: “Se questi detenuti non fanno il lavoro o non lo fanno bene, dategli un paio di dosi di ‘penicillina’”. Ciò che intendevano con una dose di “penicillina” era affibbiare al detenuto una ginocchiata all’inguine, poi una forte gomitata a metà schiena mentre lui si piegava per il dolore e quindi col tallone pestargli il piede. Questo metodo brutale talvolta faceva svenire lì per lì il detenuto e poteva perfino lasciarlo storpio per tutta la vita. In quel carcere diabolico io svolgevo ogni giorno un lavoro durissimo e per di più dovevo subire pestaggi crudeli. Come se non bastasse, i tre pasti che ci fornivano ogni giorno non erano adatti nemmeno ai cani o ai maiali: le pietanze che mangiavamo erano foglie di ravanello e spinaci d’acqua senza condimento (spesso mescolati a foglie e radici marce, sabbia e fango), oltre a circa 150 grammi di riso e un bicchiere dell’acqua che era stata usata per lavare il riso. Tutto il giorno avevo così fame che lo stomaco mi brontolava di continuo. In un ambiente del genere potevo affidarmi soltanto a Dio Onnipotente; ogni volta che subivo un pestaggio, pregavo con fervore, implorando Dio di darmi fede e forza per poter vincere le tentazioni di Satana. Dopo oltre venti giorni di angherie e tormenti, il mio corpo era così emaciato da essere irriconoscibile: non avevo forza nelle braccia e nelle gambe, non riuscivo a stare in piedi dritto e non avevo nemmeno la forza di stendere le braccia. Ciò nonostante, quelle guardie squilibrate non solo erano indifferenti alla mia situazione, ma si impadronivano anche delle poche centinaia di yuan che mi inviavano i miei familiari. Col passare del tempo le mie condizioni fisiche sono peggiorate sempre più; mi sono indebolito al punto che non ho potuto fare a meno di lamentarmi fra me: “Perché, in questo Paese, una persona che crede in Dio deve subire tante sofferenze? Il motivo per cui diffondo il Vangelo non è forse portare le persone al cospetto di Dio perché ricevano la Sua salvezza? E non ho nemmeno commesso alcun reato…” Più pensavo così, più mi era difficile sopportare e più mi sentivo trattato ingiustamente. Non potevo fare altro che pregare continuamente Dio e implorarLo di avere pietà di me e salvarmi. Nel pieno della mia disperazione e del mio smarrimento, Dio mi ha fatto ricordare un inno dei Suoi discorsi: “[…] 2. Forse vi ricordate tutti di queste parole: ‘Perché la nostra momentanea, leggera afflizione ci produce un sempre più grande, smisurato peso eterno di gloria’. Esse sono ciò che Dio compirà negli ultimi giorni, e saranno adempiute in coloro che sono crudelmente attaccati dal gran dragone rosso, nella terra in cui si trova. Il gran dragone rosso perseguita Dio ed è nemico di Dio, così in questa terra, coloro che credono in Dio sono sottoposti all’umiliazione e alla persecuzione. Ecco perché queste parole diventeranno realtà nel vostro gruppo di persone. 3. È estremamente arduo per Dio portare a termine la Sua opera nella terra del gran dragone rosso, ma è attraverso tale difficoltà che Dio compie una fase della Sua opera per manifestare la Sua saggezza e le Sue meravigliose opere. Dio coglie questa opportunità per rendere completo questo gruppo di persone. A causa della sofferenza delle persone, della loro levatura e di tutta l’indole satanica delle persone in questa terra immonda, Dio svolge la Sua opera di purificazione e di conquista in modo che, attraverso ciò, possa ottenere la gloria e guadagnare coloro che testimoniano le Sue opere. Questo è il significato completo di tutti i sacrifici che Dio ha fatto per questo gruppo di persone” (“Voi siete coloro che riceveranno l’eredità di Dio” in “Seguire l’Agnello e cantare dei canti nuovi”). Le parole di Dio mi hanno trasmesso grande conforto e incoraggiamento e mi hanno consentito di capire la Sua volontà. Poiché noi crediamo in Dio in un Paese ateo, siamo destinati a subire la coercizione e la persecuzione del demone Satana; però il fatto che noi subiamo questo tormento è permesso da Dio, perciò questa sofferenza ha un valore e un significato. È proprio tramite questa persecuzione e questa sofferenza che Dio semina in noi la verità, rendendoci in tal modo meritevoli di ricevere la Sua promessa. Questa “sofferenza” è una benedizione di Dio, e riuscire a rimanerGli fedeli durante tale sofferenza è una testimonianza della vittoria di Dio su Satana ed è anche una prova convincente del fatto che io sia stato conquistato da Dio. “Oggi”, ho pensato, “poiché seguo Dio, subisco questa persecuzione per mano dei demoni del Partito Comunista Cinese, e questo è Dio che mi dimostra uno speciale favore, perciò dovrei sottomettermi alla Sua orchestrazione e affrontarla e accoglierla felicemente con ferma tranquillità d’animo”. Mi sono rammentato un altro discorso di Dio, pronunciato nell’Età della Grazia: “Beati i perseguitati per motivo di giustizia, perché di loro è il Regno dei Cieli” (Matteo 5:10). In quel momento ho trovato fede e forza in misura ancora maggiore: per quanto Satana e i suoi demoni potessero torturarmi, io ero deciso a non cedere, e ho giurato che sarei rimasto saldo nella testimonianza e avrei soddisfatto Dio! Dotate di autorità e potenza, le parole di Dio avevano dissipato la desolazione e lo smarrimento che provavo dentro di me e alleviato la rovinosa sofferenza fisica a cui ero assoggettato. Mi hanno consentito di vedere la luce nel buio, e il mio spirito si è fatto più forte e ostinato.

 

Poi, malgrado la totale assenza di prove, il governo cinese mi ha inflitto una sentenza di un anno di rieducazione attraverso il lavoro. Quando la polizia mi ha trasportato al campo di lavoro, le guardie carcerarie hanno visto che ero ormai ridotto pelle e ossa e quasi non avevo più nemmeno un aspetto umano. Temendo che morissi, non hanno osato accettarmi, così i poliziotti non hanno avuto altra scelta che riportarmi al centro di detenzione. Ormai ero stato torturato da quei malvagi poliziotti al punto che non riuscivo più a mangiare, eppure non mi hanno prestato cure mediche, dicendo perfino che stavo fingendo. Quando hanno visto che non riuscivo a inghiottire il cibo, hanno incaricato qualcuno di aprirmi la bocca e di ficcarmelo dentro a forza, e poiché avevo difficoltà a deglutire, mi hanno picchiato. Sono stato alimentato a forza e picchiato come una bambola di pezza tre volte in tutto. Una volta constatato che non riuscivano più ad alimentarmi, non hanno avuto altra scelta che portarmi all’ospedale. Dagli esami è risultato che le vene mi si erano indurite; il sangue era diventato pastoso e nero e non circolava adeguatamente. Il medico ha detto: “Se quest’uomo rimane ancora in carcere, di sicuro morirà”. Ciò nonostante quei poliziotti odiosi e malvagi non volevano lasciarmi andare. Poi, con la mia vita appesa a un filo, ho sentito gli altri detenuti dire che ero senza speranza e ormai finito. A quel punto ho provato un’angoscia estrema; a mio parere, essendo ancora così giovane e avendo accolto solo di recente l’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni, avevo ancora tanto di cui gioire e ancora non avevo visto il giorno della gloria di Dio. Davvero non ero rassegnato a essere torturato a morte dal governo cinese. Disprezzavo totalmente questo branco di poliziotti malvagi e spietati, e provavo un odio ancora maggiore per questo regime perverso, satanico, malvagio e opposto al Cielo che è il governo cinese. Mi aveva privato della libertà di seguire il vero Dio, mi aveva condotto sull’orlo della morte e non mi consentiva di adorare il vero Dio. Il Partito Comunista si oppone con tutte le forze a Dio, perseguita crudelmente i cristiani e intende sterminare tutti coloro che credono in Dio, per fare della Cina un Paese ateo. Questo malvagio demone Satana è effettivamente il nemico che si oppone a Dio in maniera inconciliabile e, per di più, è il nemico che io non potrò mai perdonare. Ho giurato che, se anche fossi stato torturato a morte quel giorno stesso, assolutamente non sarei sceso a compromessi e non mi sarei arreso a Satana! In preda al dolore e all’indignazione, mi sono rammentato una cosa che aveva detto Dio: “Migliaia di anni di odio sono concentrati nel cuore, millenni di peccaminosità sono incisi nel cuore – come potrebbe ciò non ispirare ripugnanza? Vendicare Dio, estinguere completamente il Suo nemico, non permettere a costui di dilagare ulteriormente, e non permettergli di continuare a creare problemi a proprio piacimento! Adesso è il momento: l’uomo da tempo è andato raccogliendo tutte le sue forze, e ha dedicato tutti i propri sforzi, pagato ogni prezzo per questo, per fare a brandelli l’odioso volto di questo demone e permettere alle persone, che sono state accecate e hanno patito ogni genere di sofferenza e di difficoltà, di risollevarsi dalle loro sofferenze e voltare le spalle a questo antico diavolo malvagio” (“Lavoro e ingresso (8)” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Dopo avere riflettuto sulle parole di Dio, ho visto ancora più chiaramente il volto malvagio e demoniaco del governo cinese e ho constatato che proprio in quel momento stavo affrontando una battaglia spirituale fra la vita e la morte, fra il bene e il male. Lo scopo del governo cinese nel distruggermi in questo modo era costringermi ad abbandonare Dio e a tradirLo, ma Dio mi aveva rammentato e incoraggiato a rimanere forte, a liberarmi della presa che aveva su di me la morte e a renderGli una testimonianza vittoriosa. Non potevo ritirarmi nella negatività; dovevo collaborare diligentemente con Dio e sottomettermi alle Sue orchestrazioni e disposizioni. Come Pietro, dovevo sottomettermi fino alla morte e, nel mio ultimo momento di vita, rendere a Dio una testimonianza salda e risonante e confortare il Suo cuore. La mia vita era nelle mani di Dio e, sebbene Satana potesse ferirmi e massacrarmi il corpo fisico, non poteva distruggermi l’anima, tanto meno fare qualcosa per ostacolare la mia determinazione a credere in Dio e a ricercare la verità. Che sopravvivessi o no quel giorno, il mio unico desiderio era affidare la mia vita a Dio e accettare le Sue orchestrazioni; anche se fossi stato menomato fino a morirne, assolutamente non mi sarei arreso a Satana! Quando mi sono detto disposto a sacrificare la vita e ho deciso di rendere testimonianza a Dio, Egli mi ha dischiuso una via d’uscita inducendo gli altri detenuti a farmi mangiare. Quando è successo quest0, mi sono sentito colmo di entusiasmo; nel profondo sapevo che Dio era al mio fianco ed era stato sempre con me. Per tutto il tempo aveva vegliato su di me e mi aveva protetto, avendo compassione per la mia debolezza e predisponendo tutto per me. In quel tenebroso covo di diavoli, anche se il mio corpo era distrutto, nel cuore non provavo più tanto dolore e tanta disperazione. Dopo quel momento, i malvagi poliziotti mi hanno tenuto in carcere ancora per quindici giorni, ma vedendo che la mia vita era appesa a un filo e che potevo morire da un momento all’altro, alla fine non hanno avuto altra scelta che scarcerarmi. In origine pesavo più di 50 chili, ma nei quasi due mesi di carcere sono stato tormentato fino a ridurmi pelle e ossa: pesavo appena 25 o 30 chili ed ero in pericolo di vita. Ciò nonostante, questo branco di mostri voleva ancora multarmi di diecimila yuan. Alla fine, vedendo che la mia famiglia non aveva alcun modo di reperire una simile somma di denaro, hanno chiesto seicento yuan per pagare le spese per la mia alimentazione, e solo quando l’importo è stato versato mi hanno lasciato andare.

 

Subire questa tortura disumana e questo trattamento crudele per mano del governo cinese mi ha lasciato la sensazione di essere sfuggito per un pelo alle porte dell’inferno. Che ne fossi uscito vivo era dovuto unicamente alla cura e alla protezione di Dio; Egli mi stava mostrando la Sua grandiosa salvezza. Pensando all’amore di Dio, mi sono sentito doppiamente commosso, e ho imparato ad apprezzare ancora più a fondo la preziosità delle Sue parole. Così, ho preso a leggere ogni giorno avidamente i Suoi discorsi e pregavo spesso Dio. A poco a poco ho capito sempre meglio l’opera che Dio stava compiendo per salvare l’umanità negli ultimi giorni. Dopo un po’, con la cura di Dio, il mio corpo si è ripreso a poco a poco e io ho ricominciato a diffondere il Vangelo e a testimoniare l’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni. Eppure, finché quel regime satanico rimarrà in piedi, non smetterà mai di cercare di sconvolgere e distruggere l’opera di Dio. In seguito ho di nuovo subìto una caccia frenetica e un arresto da parte della polizia del governo cinese.

 

Un giorno di novembre del 2004, soffiava un vento gelido e nell’aria turbinavano grossi fiocchi di neve. Durante la nostra opera di diffusione del Vangelo, io e alcuni fratelli e sorelle siamo stati seguiti di nascosto dalla polizia del PCC. Alle otto di sera eravamo nel bel mezzo di una riunione quando abbiamo udito un improvviso picchiare e gridare alla porta: “Aprite! Aprite la porta! Siamo dell’Ufficio di Pubblica Sicurezza! Se non aprite subito questa porta, la sfondiamo!” Senza aver tempo di pensare, ci siamo affrettati a nascondere i lettori VCD, i libri e altro materiale. Un attimo dopo, cinque o sei poliziotti hanno sfondato la porta, irrompendo come un branco di banditi o rapinatori. Uno di loro ha gridato: “Fermi tutti! Mettete le mani sulla testa e accovacciatevi accanto al muro!” Immediatamente alcuni poliziotti sono entrati in ogni stanza mettendo a soqquadro l’intera l’abitazione. Hanno confiscato quattro lettori VCD portatili e alcuni libri sulla fede in Dio. Subito dopo ci hanno costretti a salire nelle auto della polizia e ci hanno condotti alla stazione di polizia locale. Durante il tragitto mi sono tornate alla memoria una dopo l’altra le scene delle orrende torture inflittemi l’anno prima da quei malvagi poliziotti e inevitabilmente mi sono sentito piuttosto nervoso, non sapendo che altro avrebbero potuto inventarsi questa volta per tormentarmi. Temendo di non riuscire a sopportare la loro crudeltà e di finire col tradire Dio, in silenzio ho pregato Dio con fervore. All’improvviso mi sono rammentato alcune Sue parole che avevamo letto durante una riunione alcuni giorni prima: “Io sono colmo di speranza per i Miei fratelli e le Mie sorelle, credo che non siate né desolati né scoraggiati, e che a prescindere da ciò che Dio compie voi siate come un braciere acceso: non siete mai tiepidi e sapete persistere sino in fondo, finché l’opera di Dio sarà stata pienamente rivelata […]” (“Il cammino… (8)” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). “Tutti noi possiamo giurare davanti a Dio: ‘Operare uniti! Devozione fino alla fine! Non separarsi mai, per essere sempre insieme!’. Possiate voi, Miei fratelli e sorelle, prendere questa decisione davanti a Dio, in modo che i nostri cuori non si allontanino e le nostre volontà siano incrollabili!” (“Il cammino… (5)” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Le parole di Dio mi hanno scosso nel profondo. Ho pensato a come Dio fosse disceso dal cielo in terra e avesse subìto tante prove e tribolazioni durante la Sua opera per offrire salvezza all’umanità. La Sua speranza è che le persone rimangano saldamente fedeli a Lui sino alla fine, per quanto grave sia la loro situazione. Essendo stato prescelto da Dio e avendo gioito del nutrimento dei Suoi discorsi, era giusto che mi offrissi interamente a Lui. “Per quanto io possa soffrire o essere tormentato”, ho pensato, “il mio cuore deve rimanere colmo di fede; i miei sentimenti verso Dio non devono mutare, la mia volontà non deve vacillare. Devo rendere a Dio una testimonianza risonante e non devo assolutamente arrendermi né cedere a Satana. Inoltre non devo tradirLo per andare poi a trascinare avanti un’esistenza ignobile e priva di significato. Dio è Colui dal quale io dipendo e, oltre a questo, è il mio sostegno fidato. Purché io collabori sinceramente con Lui, di certo Egli mi guiderà alla vittoria su Satana”. Così in silenzio ho comunicato la mia decisione a Dio: “O Dio! Anche se devo sacrificare la vita, Ti renderò testimonianza. Qualunque sofferenza io debba sopportare, mi atterrò alla vera via. Mi rifiuto assolutamente di arrendermi a Satana!” Rinvigorita dalle parole di Dio, la mia fede è sbocciata cento volte di più e io ho trovato la fede e la determinazione per sacrificare tutto allo scopo di rimanere saldo nella testimonianza a Dio.

 

N0n appena siamo arrivati alla stazione di polizia, gli agenti sono corsi a riscaldarsi vicino alla stufa. Tutti mi fissavano, e con le sopracciglia aggrottate e gli occhi infuocati mi interrogavano con voce severa: “Parla! Come ti chiami? A quante persone hai comunicato il Vangelo? Con chi sei stato in contatto? Chi è il capo della tua Chiesa?” Vedendo che ero deciso a rimanere in silenzio, uno dei malvagi poliziotti ha rivelato la sua natura brutale avventandosi su di me e afferrandomi furiosamente per il collo. Mi ha poi sbattuto la testa contro il muro, ripetutamente, fino a stordirmi e a farmi fischiare le orecchie. Poi ha alzato il pugno e mi ha colpito ferocemente al viso e alla testa, gridando: “Sei tu il maledetto capo, vero? Parla! Se no ti appendo in cima all’edificio e ti faccio morire congelato!” Quei malvagi poliziotti mi hanno picchiato brutalmente per una buona mezz’ora o più, fino a farmi vedere le stelle, col sangue che mi colava dal naso. Vedendo che non ottenevano le risposte volute, mi hanno condotto all’Ufficio di Pubblica Sicurezza. Lungo la strada, pensavo al folle pestaggio che avevo appena subìto da parte di quei malvagi poliziotti e sono stato pervaso da un’involontaria ondata di paura. Ho pensato: “Visto che hanno avuto la mano pesante con me appena giunto alla stazione di polizia, a che genere di crudeltà si spingeranno i poliziotti dell’Ufficio di Pubblica Sicurezza per torturarmi? Per me le cose si mettono male. Questa volta forse non ne uscirò vivo…” Mentre rimuginavo tutto questo, il cuore mi si colmava di un senso indescrivibile di disperazione e tristezza. Nel pieno dell’angoscia e dello smarrimento, all’improvviso mi sono ricordato di come Dio mi avesse consentito di sopravvivere miracolosamente l’anno prima, quando i malvagi poliziotti mi avevano torturato fino a pormi in pericolo di vita. Mi sono subito rasserenato, pensando: “Il fatto che io viva oppure muoia è nelle mani di Dio, no? Senza il permesso di Dio, Satana non può riuscire a uccidermi, per quanto ci provi. Ho visto nel passato gli atti meravigliosi di Dio, come posso essermene dimenticato? Come posso essere così privo di fede?” In quel momento ho visto che la mia levatura era ancora troppo immatura: di fronte alla prova della morte imminente, non ero ancora capace di rimanere accanto a Dio. Non ho potuto fare a meno di rammentare uno dei Suoi discorsi: “Ma vivere nella tua mente significa essere preso da Satana e questo è un vicolo cieco. È molto semplice: consideraMi con il tuo cuore e il tuo spirito diventerà immediatamente forte, avrai un cammino da praticare e Io guiderò ogni tuo passo. La Mia parola ti sarà rivelata in ogni momento e in ogni luogo. A prescindere da dove e quando, o da quanto l’ambiente sia avverso, Mi mostrerò a te chiaramente e il Mio cuore ti sarà rivelato se ti rivolgi a Me con il tuo cuore; in questo modo percorrerai la strada di fronte a te e non la perderai mai” (Capitolo 13 di “Discorsi di Cristo al principio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Le parole di Dio erano un faro che indicava la via, fornendomi una sempre maggiore lucidità di mente. Mi sono reso conto che Dio voleva usare questo ambiente ostile per purificarmi, in modo che nei momenti di crisi io abbandonassi i concetti e le fantasie e le mie preoccupazioni riguardo alla carne e andassi avanti affidandomi unicamente a Dio e dipendendo dalle Sue parole. Questo era un momento cruciale in cui Dio mi guidava a sperimentare la Sua opera, e ho capito che assolutamente non dovevo tirarmi indietro. Dovevo mettere la mia vita e la mia morte interamente nelle mani di Dio e affidarmi solamente a Lui, lottando sino alla fine contro Satana!

 

Quando siamo arrivati all’Ufficio di Pubblica Sicurezza, di nuovo i poliziotti ci hanno separati e interrogati singolarmente. Mentre cercavano continuamente di costringermi a parlare di questioni concernenti la mia fede in Dio, uno dei malvagi poliziotti, vedendo che insistevo a tenere la bocca chiusa, si è infuriato: “Pensi davvero di cavartela facendo il muto con noi. Ho finito la pazienza!” Così dicendo, mi ha afferrato per il colletto con entrambe le mani e mi ha scaraventato a terra come un sacchetto di sabbia. Poi gli altri malvagi poliziotti sono accorsi e hanno cominciato a prendermi a calci e a pestarmi dappertutto, fino a farmi rotolare sul pavimento per il dolore. Dopo di che mi hanno messo i piedi sulla testa e hanno premuto forte, sfregando avanti e indietro… Ancora non mi ero del tutto ripreso dalle torture selvagge che avevo sopportato l’anno prima, così dopo essere stato picchiato tanto brutalmente ho provato subito stordimento e nausea. Dolorante dalla testa ai piedi, mi sono raggomitolato. Poi il malvagio poliziotto mi ha strappato via le scarpe e i calzini e mi ha costretto a stare in piedi scalzo. Faceva un tale freddo che involontariamente battevo i denti e i piedi mi si sono intorpiditi. Mi sembrava di non farcela più, di stare per crollare a terra da un momento all’altro. Di fronte ai tormenti crudeli di questi malevoli poliziotti, non ho potuto fare a meno di provare un ardente senso di collera e indignazione. Disprezzavo questi scagnozzi del demonio, di una malvagità assoluta, e aborrivo il vile e reazionario governo cinese, che si oppone al Cielo ed è nemico di Dio, e per costringermi a tradire Dio e a rifiutarLo mi stava devastando e torturando, deciso a tutti i costi a mettermi a morte. Di fronte alla brutalità e alla crudeltà di Satana, ho pensato ancor più all’amore di Dio, soffermandomi sul fatto che per portare la salvezza all’umanità, e a beneficio della nostra futura esistenza, Egli aveva sopportato un’umiliazione estrema quando è venuto di persona fra noi per compiere la Sua opera. Aveva dato la vita per noi e adesso esprimeva con pazienza e sollecitudine le Sue parole per condurci lungo il cammino della ricerca della verità allo scopo di conseguire la salvezza… Valutando quel prezzo scrupolosamente pagato da Dio per la salvezza dell’umanità, mi sono reso conto di come nessuno mi amasse più di Dio; Egli teneva alla mia vita più di chiunque altro. Satana poteva soltanto ferirmi, o divorarmi e uccidermi. In quel momento ho sentito sbocciare nel cuore ancora più affetto e adorazione per Dio e non ho potuto fare a meno di pregarLo in silenzio: “Dio, grazie perché mi guidi e mi salvi in questo modo. Per quanto Satana possa torturarmi oggi, io sicuramente mi impegnerò a fondo per collaborare con Te. Lo giuro, non mi arrenderò e non cederò al demonio!” Con l’incoraggiamento dell’amore di Dio, anche se il mio corpo fisico era debole e fiacco per il tormento, il mio cuore era saldo e forte e io non mi sono arreso nemmeno una volta a quei malvagi poliziotti. Hanno continuato a torturarmi fino all’una di notte, quando, vedendo che non riuscivano proprio a ottenere risposte da me, non hanno avuto altra scelta che condurmi al centro di detenzione.

 

All’arrivo al centro di detenzione, di nuovo quei malvagi poliziotti hanno incitato i bulli del carcere a escogitare dei metodi per punirmi. Ormai ero stato tormentato a tal punto che avevo il corpo ricoperto di tagli e lividi; ero completamente stremato e appena entrato in cella sono crollato sul pavimento gelido. Vedendomi così, senza dire una parola, i bulli del carcere mi hanno tirato su e mi hanno preso a pugni in testa. Mi hanno picchiato fino a darmi le vertigini, e di nuovo sono caduto pesantemente a terra. Dopo di che i detenuti sono arrivati tutti a tormentarmi, costringendomi a premere una mano sul pavimento e l’altra sull’orecchio e poi a roteare in cerchio come una bussola. Vedendomi stordito a terra prima di avere portato a termine un paio di giri, mi hanno di nuovo preso a calci e picchiato. Uno dei detenuti mi ha perfino assestato un colpo feroce all’addome, facendomi perdere i sensi all’istante. Dopo di che gli agenti penitenziari hanno dato istruzioni ai detenuti di torturarmi e picchiarmi in maniera diversa ogni giorno e di farmi fare tutti i lavori sporchi quotidiani, come lavare i piatti, pulire le latrine e così via. Ero perfino costretto a fare docce fredde nelle giornate di neve. Inoltre, ogni volta che facevo la doccia, tutti mi costringevano a insaponarmi dalla testa ai piedi e poi mi facevano colare lentamente l’acqua gelida su tutto il corpo. Dopo quasi mezz’ora di doccia, avevo così freddo che ero viola dappertutto e tremavo. Di fronte a queste torture e crudeltà disumane, pregavo continuamente Dio, terrorizzato al pensiero che, se Lo avessi abbandonato, sarei diventato completamente prigioniero di Satana. Attraverso la preghiera, le parole di Dio risuonavano continuamente in me e mi guidavano: “Coloro che Dio definisce vincitori sono quelli che possono ancora testimoniare, conservare la fiducia e la propria devozione a Lui quando sono influenzati e assediati da Satana, ossia quando si trovano nelle forze dell’oscurità. Se sei ancora capace di conservare un cuore puro e un amore sincero per Dio a prescindere da tutto, sei testimone innanzi a Lui, e questo è ciò che Egli definisce essere un vincitore” (“Dovresti preservare la tua devozione per Dio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Le parole di Dio erano una luce che mi illuminava e mi calmava i pensieri. Sapevo che proprio quando ero assediato da Satana era il momento in cui dovevo avere lealtà e amore per Dio. Anche se questo ambiente disgraziato aveva causato sofferenze e tormenti al mio corpo fisico, dietro tutto questo si celavano il grande amore e le benedizioni di Dio. Era Dio ad avermi dato l’occasione di renderGli testimonianza davanti a Satana e di umiliare totalmente e sconfiggere Satana. Pertanto, mentre subivo queste sofferenze, rammentavo a me stesso ripetutamente che dovevo essere paziente sino alla fine, rimanere saldo nella testimonianza a Dio affidandomi alla Sua guida in questo tenebroso covo di demoni e sforzarmi di essere un vincitore. Guidato dalle parole di Dio, il mio cuore si è fatto saldo e forte. Malgrado la debolezza e il tormento che mi devastavano il corpo fisico, ero fiducioso di poter sopportare tutto allo scopo di avviare una battaglia per la vita o per la morte contro Satana e, col mio ultimo respiro, testimoniare Dio.

 

Dopo oltre venti giorni di carcere, mi sono preso una grave infreddatura. Avevo tutti e quattro gli arti doloranti e flosci, ero completamente privo di forze e avevo la mente confusa. Col peggioramento delle mie condizioni e con gli spietati pestaggi e torture degli altri detenuti, mi sentivo incapace di resistere ancora. Nel cuore ero particolarmente debole e depresso e pensavo: “Quando finiranno questo tormento e questa crudeltà quotidiani? A quanto pare stavolta verrò condannato, perciò non vi è molta speranza per me di uscire vivo da qui…” Non appena ho pensato così, mi è sembrato che il cuore fosse precipitato in un abisso, e sono sprofondato in una disperazione e un dolore così profondi che non trovavo più la via d’uscita. Nel momento più disperato, mi sono rammentato un inno delle parole di Dio: “Io non voglio che tu sia capace di pronunciare molte parole toccanti, o di raccontare tante storie entusiasmanti; piuttosto, ti chiedo di essere in grado di renderMi una bella testimonianza, e di entrare pienamente e profondamente nella realtà. […] Non pensate più alle vostre prospettive, e agite come avete stabilito davanti a Me, di sottomettervi alle orchestrazioni di Dio in tutte le cose. Tutti quelli che si trovano nella Mia casa dovrebbero fare il possibile; tu dovresti offrire il lato migliore di te stesso all’ultima parte della Mia opera sulla terra. Sei realmente disposto a mettere in pratica queste cose?” (“Siete realmente disposti a sottomettervi alle orchestrazioni di Dio?” in “Seguire l’Agnello e cantare dei canti nuovi”). Riga per riga, le parole di Dio mi hanno percosso il cuore, facendomi provare una profonda vergogna. Ho pensato a tutte le volte in cui avevo versato lacrime amare e mi sono deciso a dedicarmi a Dio in tutte le cose e sottomettermi alle Sue orchestrazioni e disposizioni. Inoltre ho pensato a come, quando le parole di Dio mi avevano guidato mentre sopportavo sofferenze e torture, avessi giurato sulla mia vita davanti a Lui che sarei rimasto saldo nella testimonianza, ma poi, quando a Dio veramente serviva che io pagassi un prezzo per soddisfarLo, mi aggrappavo invece vilmente alla vita e temevo la morte, preoccupandomi soltanto di quel che sarebbe successo al mio corpo fisico. Avevo completamente ignorato la volontà di Dio e pensavo solo a sottrarmi alla mia situazione e a mettermi in salvo il più presto possibile. Ho capito quanto fossi meschino e indegno; non avevo sufficiente fede in Dio ed ero colmo di intenzioni ingannevoli. Non ero in grado di rivolgere a Dio una vera devozione e non avevo in corpo nemmeno un osso davvero obbediente. In quel momento ho capito che nell’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni ciò che Egli vuole sono il vero amore e la vera lealtà da parte dell’umanità; queste sono le ultime richieste di Dio e gli ultimi compiti da Lui assegnati all’umanità. “In quanto persona che crede in Dio”, pensavo, “dovrei mettermi completamente nelle Sue mani. Poiché la vita mi è stata data da Dio, Egli ha l’ultima parola sul fatto che io viva o muoia. Dato che ho scelto Dio, devo offrirmi a Lui e sottomettermi alle Sue orchestrazioni; per quante sofferenze e umiliazioni io possa subire, devo dedicarmi a Dio con le mie azioni. Non devo avere scelte o esigenze mie; questo è il mio dovere, nonché il senno che dovrei avere. Il fatto che io potessi ancora respirare e fossi vivo era dovuto unicamente alla protezione e alla cura di Dio; questa era la Sua provvista di vita; altrimenti non sarei stato già da tempo distrutto e ucciso dal diavolo? Quando per la prima volta avevo subìto sofferenze e patimenti così intensi, Dio mi aveva guidato a superarli. Che motivo avevo adesso di perdere fiducia in Lui? Come potevo essere negativo e debole, ritirarmi e desiderare di fuggire?” Quando mi è venuto questo pensiero, in silenzio ho confessato a Dio la mia colpa: “Dio Onnipotente! Sono davvero egoista e avido; ho solo voluto gioire del Tuo amore e delle Tue benedizioni, ma non sono stato disposto a dedicarmi sinceramente a Te. Quando penso di dover sopportare la sofferenza di lunghi anni di carcere, desidero soltanto uscire di qui per evitarla. Ho davvero urtato terribilmente i tuoi sentimenti. O Dio! Non voglio continuare a sprofondare ancora; desidero soltanto sottomettermi alle Tue orchestrazioni e disposizioni e accettare la Tua guida. Anche se muoio in carcere, voglio ugualmente renderTi salda testimonianza. Anche se sarò torturato a morte, Ti rimarrò fedele sino alla fine!” Dopo avere pregato, mi sono sentito doppiamente commosso. Anche se provavo dolore come prima, nel cuore sentivo di avere fede e determinazione a non arrendermi finché non avessi onorato il mio giuramento di soddisfare Dio. Non appena mi sono sentito deciso e fiducioso di poter restare saldo nella testimonianza a Dio fino alla morte, è successa una cosa miracolosa. Una mattina presto mi sono alzato dal letto e ho scoperto di non avere più la sensibilità ai piedi. Non riuscivo affatto a sostenermi, tanto meno a camminare. Inizialmente quei malvagi poliziotti non mi hanno creduto; supponendo che io fingessi, hanno cercato di costringermi a stare in piedi. Tuttavia, per quanto ci provassi, non ci riuscivo, Sono ritornati il giorno seguente a esaminarmi. Notando che avevo entrambi i piedi gelidi e del tutto privi di circolazione sanguigna, si sono convinti che ero davvero paralizzato. Dopo di che hanno comunicato ai miei familiari che potevano riportarmi a casa. Il giorno in cui sono arrivato a casa, miracolosamente mi è ritornata la sensibilità ai piedi e non ho avuto alcuna difficoltà a camminare! So nel profondo che tutto questo è dovuto a Dio Onnipotente, che ha mostrato compassione per la mia debolezza. Egli Stesso mi ha dischiuso una via d’uscita, consentendomi di andarmene libero e senza intoppi dal covo di Satana dopo essere stato detenuto illegalmente per un mese dal governo cinese.

 

Dopo essere stato due volte detenuto e sottoposto alle torture crudeli e disumane del governo cinese, anche se fisicamente avevo sofferto ed ero stato perfino prossimo alla morte, queste due esperienze straordinarie in realtà hanno costituito un solido fondamento per il mio cammino verso la fede in Dio. Nel pieno delle mie sofferenze e tribolazioni, Dio Onnipotente mi ha offerto la più concreta possibilità di dissetarmi con la verità e la Sua provvista di vita, non solo consentendomi di capire a fondo le intenzioni del governo cinese, il suo odio per la verità, la sua inimicizia verso Dio e il suo volto demoniaco, e di venire a conoscenza dei crimini efferati con cui si oppone a Dio e perseguita i Suoi fedeli, ma anche offrendomi la capacità di apprezzare la potenza e l’autorità delle parole di Dio. Il fatto che io sia riuscito a sottrarre per due volte la mia vita alle malvagie grinfie del Partito Comunista Cinese è stato unicamente il risultato della cura e della misericordia di Dio. Inoltre, in tal modo si è concretata e confermata la straordinaria forza vitale di Dio. Adesso mi rendo conto profondamente che in ogni momento e in ogni luogo Dio Onnipotente è sempre stato il mio unico sostegno e la mia salvezza! In questa vita, per quanti pericoli o patimenti io possa subire, sono deciso a perseverare nel mio impegno a seguire Dio Onnipotente, diffondendo attivamente la Sua parola e rendendo testimonianza al nome di Dio, ripagando il Suo amore con la mia autentica devozione!

I can't believe that it has already been two weeks with Maggie and I also can't believe that it has only been two weeks with Maggie. I feel like she's been with us no time at all and forever.

 

Scott has nicknamed her, "Sleeping Beauty" due to all the sleep this child gets. One day we are going to look back on this and miss the sleepy days. We saw the lacation consultant again this week (I sense that we're going to be seeing them for a bit) and she gave me so much hope. She thinks Maggie will outgrown her latch problems and said that my side of Team Boob was in good shape. It's funny, with Molly, all the breastfeeding issues were on my side. Molly was an excellent breastfeeding partner. This time around, Maggie has the challenges but I'm hopeful that she'll get past them. The LC has assured me that she will.

 

We went out for sushi lunch today. Maggie slept through lunch while Molly chowed down on avocado rolls. It was nice getting out of the house even if it required massive coordination and organization. We started getting ready to go out at 8 a.m. for an 11:30 a.m. lunch.

 

This week has been a bit of a groundhog's dog. It's a 24 hour cycle of try to breastfeed (sometimes we have success!), feed Maggie and pump. Then I have about 30 minutes to eat, shower, clean up, etc. before starting the cycle all over again. Luckily since Maggie is such a good sleeper, I have a longer stretches at night. I'm still having to set my alarm to wake her up to eat so I'm taking advantage of the situation and getting a 3 hour stretch and a 4 hour stretch of sleep. The first few weeks are always so hard but so important to getting the breastfeeding relationship on track. I also know that this too shall pass and soon Maggie will be bigger and I'll miss the squishy little Maggie I have now.

Himno de la palabra de Dios "Sólo Dios tiene el camino de vida''

 

www.kingdomsalvation.org/es/videos/only-god-has-the-way-o...

 

I

El camino de vida no es algo que cualquiera posea;

no es algo fácil de obtener.

Pues la vida viene sólo de Dios,

sólo Dios tiene la esencia de vida,

sólo Dios tiene el camino de vida,

y sólo Dios es la fuente de vida,

y el manantial inagotable de agua viva.

Desde que al mundo creó, Dios ha hecho mucha obra

que implica la vitalidad de la vida, que da vida al hombre;

ha pagado un gran precio para que el hombre gane vida.

Pues Dios mismo es vida eterna;

es el camino para la resurrección del hombre.

II

Dios nunca ha estado ausente del corazón del hombre,

siempre vive entre los hombres.

Él es la fuerza que impulsa su vida,

y la base de su existencia;

es un rico depósito para que el hombre vive.

Él hace renacer al hombre,

y le hace vivir con fortaleza en sus diferentes roles.

Sólo Dios tiene la esencia de vida,

sólo Dios tiene el camino de vida,

y sólo Dios es la fuente de vida,

y el manantial inagotable de agua viva.

Por Su poder e inagotable fuerza de vida,

el hombre ha vivido generación tras generación.

El poder de la vida de Dios lo sostiene siempre;

Dios ha pagado un precio que ningún hombre común ha pagado alguna vez.

III

La fuerza de vida de Dios prevalece sobre todo poder; y lo supera.

Su vida es eterna y Su poder es extraordinario.

Ningún ser creado o enemigo puede aplastar Su fuerza de vida,

que existe y da luz radiante

en cualquier momento o lugar, en cualquier momento o lugar.

Sólo Dios tiene la esencia de vida,

sólo Dios tiene el camino de vida,

y sólo Dios es la fuente de vida,

y el manantial inagotable de agua viva.

El cielo y la tierra pueden cambiar, la vida de Dios, nunca.

Las cosas pasan, pero la vida de Dios permanece,

pues Dios es la fuente y la raíz de la existencia de todo,

pues Dios mismo es vida eterna.

IV

La vida humana viene de Dios, el cielo existe debido a Dios,

y la tierra existe por el poder de la vida de Dios.

Ningún objeto con vitalidad puede superar Su soberanía,

y nada con vigor puede evadir el ámbito de la autoridad de Dios.

Sólo Dios tiene la esencia de vida,

sólo Dios tiene el camino de vida,

y sólo Dios es la fuente de vida,

y el manantial inagotable de agua viva.

Así que, no importa quiénes sean,

toda la humanidad debe someterse, debe someterse al dominio de Dios,

vivir bajo Su mando.

Nadie puede escapar, nadie puede escapar, escapar de Su control.

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]

documenta fifteen18 June 2022 – 25 September 2022 in Kasselruangrupa[22]

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

What a Beautiful Voice

Dong Jingxin is a preacher in a house church in China. She's believed in the Lord for thirty years, and loves the truth; she frequently reads the Lord's words and is driven by them. She expends herself for the Lord with enthusiasm. Because of her preaching work, she was arrested by the police of the Chinese Communist government and sent to prison where she endured cruelty and torture. It was the words of the Lord that guided her through enduring seven years of inhuman prison life. After getting out, her co-worker Chenguang comes to see her and reads to her from the words of Almighty God, bearing witness that God has appeared and is working in the last days . She also gives her a copy of The Word Appears in the Flesh. After reading quite a bit of the words of Almighty God, Dong Jingxin feels that they are authoritative and that they have come from God. She develops a heart of longing to seek. Dong Jingxin and her husband hungrily devour the words of Almighty God and discover that they are all the truth, and that they are the voice of God. They determine that Almighty God really is the return of the Lord Jesus they have been awaiting for years! Just as the two of them are awash in the joy of welcoming the return of the Lord, the chief of police pays them a visit to warn them against attending any gatherings or doing any preaching. He warns them that they particularly must report anyone who preaches Eastern Lightning , giving rise to anxiety in Dong Jingxin. After that, once their pastor finds out that Dong Jingxin is leading brothers and sisters to look into the work of God in the last days, he also interferes with and blocks them. Faced with confusion and disruption from the forces of Satan, Dong Jingxin is able to clearly see the true face of the pastors and elders of the religious world through prayer, seeking, and fellowship. She does not back down, but continues to lead brothers and sisters to investigate the true way, and she invites people from the Church of Almighty God to give fellowship and bear witness to the work of Almighty God in the last days. In the end, everyone acknowledges that the words uttered by Almighty God really are the voice of God, and that He is the appearance of God. Everyone is deeply moved: What a beautiful voice the words of Almighty God are!

Description :The Bengali Language Movement: and in Bangali Trnslation to ভাষা আন্দোলন

  

The Bengali Language Movement: Can read In Bangoli here]ভাষা আন্দোলন, also known as the Language Movement (Bengali: ভাষা আন্দোলন; Bhasha Andolon), was a political effort in Bangladesh (then known as East Pakistan), advocating the recognition of the Bengali language as an official language ofPakistan. Such recognition would allow Bengali to be used in government affairs.When the state of Pakistan was formed in 1947, its two regions, East Pakistan (also called East Bengal) and West Pakistan, were split along cultural, geographical, and linguistic lines. In 1948, the Government of Pakistan ordained Urdu as the sole national language, sparking extensive protests among the Bengali-speaking majority of East Pakistan. Facing rising sectarian tensions and mass discontent with the new law, the government outlawed public meetings and rallies. The students of the University of Dhaka and other political activists defied the law and organised a protest on 21 February 1952. The movement reached its climax when police killed student demonstrators on that day. The deaths provoked widespread civil unrest led by the Awami Muslim League, later renamed the Awami League. After years of conflict, the central government relented and granted official status to the Bengali language in 1956. In 2000,UNESCO declared 21 February International Mother Language Day for the whole world to celebrate[1], in tribute to the Language Movement and the ethno-linguistic rights of people around the world.The Language Movement catalysed the assertion of Bengali national identity in Pakistan, and became a forerunner to Bengali nationalist movements, including the 6-point movement and subsequently the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. In Bangladesh, 21 February is observed as Language Movement Day, a national holiday. The Shaheed Minar monument was constructed near Dhaka Medical College in memory of the movement and its victims

 

Background

 

The present nations of Pakistan and Bangladesh were part of undivided India during the British colonial rule. From the mid-19th century, the Urdu language had been promoted as thelingua franca of Indian Muslims by political and religious leaders such as Sir Khwaja Salimullah, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Nawab Viqar-ul-Mulk and Maulvi Abdul Haq.[2][3] Urdu is an Indo-Aryan language of the Indo-Iranian branch, belonging to the Indo-European family of languages. It developed under Persian, Arabic and Turkic influence on apabhramshas (last linguistic stage of the medieval Indian Aryan language Pali-Prakrit)[4] in South Asia during the Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire.[5] With its Perso-Arabic script, the language was considered a vital element of the Islamic culture for Indian Muslims; Hindi and the Devanagari script were seen as fundamentals of Hindu culture.[2]While the use of Urdu grew common with Muslims in northern India, the Muslims of Bengal (a province in the eastern part of British Indian sub-continent) primarily used the Bengali language. Bengali is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language that arose from the eastern Middle Indic languages around 1000 CE[6] and developed considerably during the Bengal Renaissance. As early as the late 19th century, social activists such as the Muslim feminist Roquia Sakhawat Hussain were choosing to write in Bengali to reach out to the people and develop it as a modern literary language. Supporters of Bengali opposed Urdu even before the partition of India, when delegates from Bengal rejected the idea of making Urdu the lingua franca of Muslim India in the 1937 Lucknow session of the Muslim League. The Muslim League was a British Indian political party that became the driving force behind the creation of Pakistan as a Muslim state separate from British India.[7]

The Willows at Willow Grove Day Camp is a camp for 3 and 4 year old children. This unique camp experience offers your child an early opportunity to learn and socialize with children their own age.

 

During the first week of camp, lots of fun was had as the children and counselors got to know each other. “Sun and Surf” was our first week theme. The children really enjoyed decorating their bucket and shovel memo pads during Arts and Crafts. Along with this activity, the Polar Bears and Penguins enthusiastically participated in Nature, Gymnastics, Dance, Tennis and Soccer. We are looking forward to the next seven weeks of fun-filled activities.

 

Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas.

I made this piece after seeing photos of Jimmy John Liautaud, founder of Jimmy John's, killing endangered animals on Safari in Africa.  I was enraged and disgusted!  I'm happy I've never eaten at a Jimmy Johns and after this I never will.  Thanks for bringing my attention to this Lisa.  The company that is responsible for these killing "adventures" is Johan Calitz Safaris.  I can't stand to look at those pictures, they're just vial. 

My mother's family was from a rural part of Vietnam.  My grandfather was a hunter and both my mom and grandmother have done their share of slaughtering chickens, fish and I think pigs and goats.  I'm an omnivore so I don't want to step on a soapbox and pass judgment on the killing of animals.  But I'm 100% against animal cruelty and senseless acts like this.  It's just a pure ego stroke, lacking in any compassion or consideration.  You want to shoot something get a camera!

1. Ogni parola di Dio è un’espressione della Sua indole

 

Hu Ke Città di Dezhou, Provincia dello Shandong

 

Ogniqualvolta vedevo queste parole pronunciate da Dio mi sentivo ansiosa: “In ogni frase che ho pronunciato è contenuta l’indole di Dio. Fareste bene a ponderare attentamente le Mie parole, e ne trarrete di certo grande profitto” (“È molto importante comprendere l’indole di Dio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Mi sentivo ansiosa perché capire l’indole di Dio è fondamentale per l’uomo, sia per la sua comprensione di Dio, sia nel suo cercare di amarLo e soddisfarLo. Ma quando mangiavo e bevevo delle parole di Dio, avevo sempre la sensazione che la Sua indole fosse troppo astratta e io non sapessi come comprenderla. Successivamente, attraverso la condivisione da parte del mio leader, ho appreso che avrei dovuto capire ciò che piace a Dio e ciò che Egli odia dalle Sue parole, e in tal modo arrivare a comprendere la Sua indole. Di conseguenza, ho provato a metterlo in pratica per qualche tempo e ho visto dei risultati. Tuttavia ero ancora perplessa riguardo alle parole di Dio, “In ogni frase che ho pronunciato è contenuta l’indole di Dio” e non avevo idea di come intenderle esattamente.

 

Un giorno ho letto queste parole in un sermone: “L’indole di Dio contiene molti aspetti. Essa contiene ciò che Dio ha ed è, le Sue riflessioni, le Sue idee, il Suo pensiero e la Sua saggezza. Essa contiene l’atteggiamento di Dio verso ogni genere di persona, come il Suo sentimento di misericordia e di premura, e ancor più la Sua ira verso la ribellione e la resistenza del genere umano. Poiché ognuna delle frasi di Dio contiene il Suo pensiero, la Sua saggezza e le Sue idee, poiché tutte contengono il contesto e la fonte delle Sue parole, poiché esse esprimono tutte naturalmente l’atteggiamento di Dio verso l’umanità, e non c’è una sola frase che sia priva di fondamento, per questo è un fatto molto naturale che ogni frase contenga l’indole di Dio. Ogni parola che gli esseri umani dicono esprime la loro indole della vita, dunque ogni parola di Dio non conterrà a maggior ragione la Sua indole? Ciò è facile da comprendere, ma come scoprirlo e conoscerlo non è così semplice come si possa immaginare. Se, quando si leggono le parole di Dio, non si cerca di ponderarle a sufficienza, non ci si sforza abbastanza o non si ha esperienza sufficiente, allora l’indole di Dio non sarà facile da percepire, e ancor meno da capire. Ciò che è necessario, quindi, è che l’uomo si plachi davanti a Dio, che metta interamente il suo cuore nelle Sue parole e che la lettura e il tentativo di ponderarle avvengano durante la preghiera

; allora tu giungerai lentamente a scoprire l’ordine di idee che sta dietro le parole di Dio. Questo è l’inizio dell’ingresso” (La condivisione del Fratello). Quando ho letto questa condivisione tutto mi è diventato chiaro. Mi sono resa conto che l’indole di Dio contiene molte cose: contiene ciò che Egli ha ed è, le Sue riflessioni e le Sue idee, il Suo pensiero e la Sua saggezza, così come il Suo atteggiamento verso ogni genere di persona, e così via. Inoltre, ciascuna delle frasi di Dio contiene il contesto e la fonte di ogni Sua parola, e non c’è una sola frase che sia priva di fondamento, e ogni singola cosa che Dio fa e ogni frase che Egli pronuncia sono una naturale espressione di tutto ciò che Egli è nella vita. La mia comprensione dell’indole di Dio, d’altro canto, era limitata solo a ciò che Egli ama e a ciò che Egli odia. Questo tipo di comprensione era troppo unilaterale e dunque non era in grado di raggiungere una conoscenza dell’indole di Dio partendo da ogni Sua singola frase. Oltre a questo ho capito anche che, se volevo comprendere l’indole di Dio da ogni Sua frase, dovevo placarmi dinanzi a Lui e compiere uno sforzo molto più grande per cercare di capire a fondo le Sue parole. Inoltre, avevo bisogno di pregare e di cercare la guida dinanzi a Dio, focalizzandomi sulla comprensione dello stato d’animo dietro alle parole che Egli aveva pronunciato, così come sul contesto e sulla fonte dietro alle Sue azioni.

 

Ringrazio Dio per l’illuminazione e la rivelazione che mi hanno permesso di rendermi conto di queste cose e, quindi, in seguito, ho iniziato a focalizzarmi sulla pratica e l’ingresso in questo aspetto. Un giorno ho letto un brano delle parole di Dio: “Se quest’opera sia importante o meno, dipende dai bisogni del genere umano, dalla realtà della sua depravazione, dalla gravità della disobbedienza di Satana e dal suo disturbo dell’opera. Il giusto, cioè colui che è all’altezza del compito, è stabilito in base alla natura della propria opera e all’importanza di quest’opera. Quando si tratta dell’importanza di quest’opera, in termini di quale metodo di lavoro adottare − opera compiuta direttamente dallo Spirito di Dio, opera compiuta dal Dio incarnato

, o opera compiuta attraverso l’uomo − la prima ad essere eliminata è l’opera compiuta attraverso l’uomo e, in base alla natura dell’opera e alla natura dell’opera dello Spirito rispetto a quella della carne, è infine stato stabilito che l’opera compiuta dalla carne è più benefica all’uomo dell’opera compiuta direttamente dallo Spirito, e offre più vantaggi. Questo è il pensiero di Dio, al momento di decidere se l’opera debba essere compiuta dallo Spirito o dalla carne” (“L’umanità corrotta ha maggiormente bisogno della salvezza del Dio incarnato” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Quando ho cercato con attenzione di comprendere questo brano, ho sentito di aver scoperto un grande dono. Le parole di Dio mostrano lo sviluppo del Suo pensiero in quel momento, mentre rifletteva su quale metodo utilizzare per l’opera degli ultimi giorni. Durante il corso del Suo pensiero, la prima cosa che Dio ha considerato è stata quale metodo usare che fosse di maggiore beneficio per l’uomo in quest’opera, quale fosse il modo migliore per raggiungere l’esito della salvezza dell’uomo e cosa fare per portare Satana ad accettare la sconfitta, vincendolo in tal modo e portando alla salvezza completa le persone che sono state così profondamente danneggiate. Durante l’intero processo di pensiero, Dio ha costantemente tenuto in considerazione l’uomo e mai i Propri interessi o la Propria incolumità. Dio sapeva chiaramente che la Sua incarnazione avrebbe patito molta sofferenza, ma ciò non è stato preso in esame quando si è trattato di salvare l’umanità. Invece, Egli ha scelto comunque il metodo del Dio che Si fa carne per compiere l’opera degli ultimi giorni, basandosi sulle necessità dell’umanità e sulla realtà della depravazione del genere umano. Egli corre un grande pericolo addentrandosi nella tana della tigre; Egli subisce la persecuzione selvaggia e la caccia del gran dragone rosso, sopporta gli abusi e la blasfemia delle varie religioni e confessioni e tollera la resistenza, la ribellione e l’incomprensione di quelli di noi che le seguono. Le ferite e gli attacchi inflitti al cuore di Dio e l’umiliazione che Egli sopporta sono veramente cose che nessuno può comprendere. Tutto ciò che Dio esprime e rivela è tutto quello che Egli è nella vita: la Sua dedizione disinteressata all’umanità e il Suo pagare il prezzo per essa. La grandezza di Dio e il Suo altruismo sono rivelati naturalmente nella Sua opera e in ogni Sua frase, e queste esprimono anche la grande misericordia e l’amore disinteressato di Dio. Il Suo amore per l’umanità non è solo parole vuote, ma un prezzo concreto che Egli paga. In quel momento, ho avuto una vivida percezione che Dio è davvero così grande e così amabile! Quindi, sebbene avessi letto queste parole di Dio in precedenza, non avevo mai capito il contesto dietro le parole che Cristo

aveva pronunciato o tutto ciò che esse rivelavano, né l’amore di Cristo per l’umanità. Solo in quel momento ho avuto un’autentica comprensione di queste parole di Dio: “In ogni frase che ho pronunciato è contenuta l’indole di Dio”.

 

Prima, poiché non avevo mai quietato il mio cuore o provato seriamente a capire le parole di Dio, avevo perso tante buone opportunità di comprenderLo, al punto che persino oggi ho ancora tante nozioni e fraintendimenti verso di Lui e sono ancora estraniata da Lui. Solo ora comprendo che, se desidero capire l’indole di Dio, devo provare seriamente a capire e a cercare la verità all’interno di ogni Sua frase. In questo modo trarrò certamente un grande beneficio. Da oggi in poi desidero concentrarmi sul porre più impegno nelle Sue parole, e cercare di diventare presto una persona che ha una certa comprensione di Dio.

We have just finished our third week of camp. The Willows campers have been kept very busy these past three weeks. The days have been flying by way too quickly. It was very exciting to have all our Willows family members join us for an outstanding visiting day. The children were extremely excited to share their activities with their parents, while the parents had fun pretending to be campers. We hope you had as much fun as we did and lunch together was terrific.

 

The children enjoyed this weeks theme of “I Spy”. They had fun decorating binoculars in Camper Creations. In Ceramics, each child enjoyed making their favorite food out of clay with the help of their parents. Their ceramic projects will be sent home shortly. To end our wonderful week, The Willows campers joined the rest of camp at Waterworld. The children drove

water boats and joined in other great water activities. A terrific time was had by all!

 

Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas.

“Is this the right place?” I asked my friend as we arrived at the quiet, nondescript building on the eastern side of Jeju City. “I think so,” she replied unconvincingly as we descended the dimly lit stairs. We had just finished an excellent dinner, and I was reluctant to let such a great evening end early. I wanted to go somewhere a little different and had heard about a popular tea house called Namu Mulggogi.

 

As we opened the well-worn, wooden doors, a warm, golden light from the room flooded over us. Entering the room I was struck by a multitude of sights and sounds. A variety of colorful wind chimes, dolls, and a mini waterfall made out of vertically stacked cups sat like an oasis in the center of the room. Beautiful clay tea pots, bowls and cups of all sizes and shapes adorned the shelves lining the back wall. Soft music played in the background, completing the tranquil scene before us.

 

Approaching the front counter, we were greeted by a pleasant young woman who quietly led us to our table. She left us alone to take in the peaceful atmosphere only to return a short time later to place a pot of steaming green tea and a colorful array of snacks on the table.

 

The tea, grown locally, was freshly made, had perfect texture and a wonderfully mild flavor. The snacks were equally fantastic. Sun-flower seeds wrapped in dried persimmon. Dried radish stuffed with sesame seeds. Broiled dates. Dried carrots that tasted like jellied candy. It was all delicious!

 

While we were drinking our tea, we were joined by the owner, Won Jong-ae. She explained she had opened the tea house about six years ago out of a love for tea and people and a desire to preserve a little piece of Korean culture. She told us she has even opened a class on the second floor that teaches the art of the Korean tea ceremony, including pouring etiquette, a tradition that dates back nearly 1,400 years.

 

“All foreigners are welcome to take part in the class,” she exclaimed enthusiastically.

 

As we walked home that night, we passed a popular coffee shop. Its big, glass front window glistened under the glare of its bright lights. I looked inside and could see the same stainless steel stools, overstuffed sofas, and plastic chairs you can find in dozens of other coffee shops around Jeju City. A counter sat at the back, cluttered with the usual generic cookies and cakes. Pop music blared in the background. It made me pine for my next visit to Namu Mulggogi.

Maritime Early Detection Systems (M.E.D's) for Oil Rigs, Semi-Submersibles and Jack-Ups!

 

Ninety percent of the world’s trade moves in containers and nearly half of all incoming U.S. trade moves by ship. The current situation is bleak at best, Maritime attacks are on the increase. Pirates are more aggressive. The financial impact is significant and increasing. Military solutions are weak– they can’t be everywhere at the same time and private sector solutions are non–existent.

 

Don't leave port without it!

 

• Integrated systems designed to specific threat levels, pier side, at anchor and under way

 

• Any ship can be easily refit to any level of ability

 

• Crew assistance with installations cut costs

 

• System operates with no user interface

 

• System can provide off vessel reporting and monitoring

 

• Integrated system designed to give advance warning prior to boarding, giving crew time to take evasive action

 

A Closer Look at Maritime Early Detection Systems (M.E.D's) Onboard

 

With day/night and infrared gyro-stabilized cameras and motion detection equipment strategically placed, crews are alerted to the presence of an approaching threat. Bearing and speed data are provided through a radar interface.

 

This is integrated into a security network on board with custom control panels and alert devices placed throughout the vessel. Custom control and monitoring can be satellite linked to corporate security offices, central monitoring and law enforcement personnel.

 

Monitor Systems is the United Kingdom distributor for Radio Zeeland DMP’s highly effective, maritime security system. We supply, install and commission the Maritime Early Detection System (M.E.D.S) which offers a comprehensive layered security approach with onboard advance warning for ships, boats, rigs, platforms and pipelines against acts of terrorism, hijacking, piracy and other violations of security wherever a vessel is operating.

 

M.E.D.S delivers a military grade solution in a commercial format combining unique cutting edge technology integrated in design and function with a user-friendly interface. Utilising a customised perimeter sensor monitoring network and sophisticated infra-red tracking day/night vision cameras and onboard radar equipment, this state of the art system generates a secure perimeter network extending outwards from the vessel, divided into three zones – Red, Orange and Yellow. Each zone represents a secured area in relation to its proximity to the vessel to provide maximum levels of detection able to detect intruders from all quadrants in advance.

 

M.E.D.S. can be expanded and integrated with other options and systems and can be installed whilst the vessel is in service thereby eliminating costly downtime.

Maritime Early Detection System (M.E.D.S)

Overview: Maritime Early Detection Systems (MEDS™) is a combination of unique integrated state of the art technologies. By equipping maritime assets with these advanced detection systems we can dramatically decrease the potential of a hostile takeover of ships /rigs in port or at sea. The worldwide threat of terrorism and piracy in international waters is increasing exponentially and the need for a solution is becoming paramount.

 

Option 1 uses a proximity sensor network with built in motion sensing which provides short range detection capabilities that allow a ship’s crew enough time to take the necessary measures to successfully avoid attacks before assailants are in the pilot house and have control of the vessel.

   

Maritime Early Detection System (M.E.D.S)

 

Short Range Detection

MEDS™ Perimeter Sensor Network provides a 180 degree laser grid of protection that is proven to work in extreme temperature and weather conditions. Each sensor is mounted into the side frame of the vessel and equipped with a remote enclosure with internal battery back up and redundant wired and emergency wireless communications via armored cable and cyclonic secure encryption respectively.

 

Each sensor ties into a wired data hub and reports its status continuously. If hard wired communication fails or is lost to any one unit the wireless communication feature will query as a back up. If this query is not returned it will report a failure of sensor locally to the monitoring system and control panels, as well as triggering an audible alarm.

MEDS™ Sensors

Photo of typical sensor system installation provides 180 degree continuous protection for the vessel, cargo and crew. Added green ½ spheres illustrate the sensor overlapping downward facing protection. Sensors are in NEMA 4x weatherproof enclosures with lighted alarm and klaxon for local indication of perimeter breach or sensor failure. Each sensor has a built in lens heater and remote back up power supply to ensure optimal operation under even the most extreme conditions and scenarios.

System Redundancy and Protective Measures

 

The complete MEDS package is designed with multiple redundant integrated communication systems that ensure that upon failure or destruction of one part of the system another system will come online to compensate for the failure. Upon loss of any component in the system even down to the smallest communication error, the crew or port security personnel is alerted via the monitoring control system and control of the issue giving a real time diagnostic of the overall health of the system. This feature ensures that no matter what is attempted to bring down the system for intrusion purposes the system will continue to function to do what is required … PROTECT AND REPORT.

System Expandability and Customisation

One key feature that stands out with the MEDS™ solution over any other devices currently on the market is the ability of the system to be integrated with other options and systems that the end user wishes to include. The system is based off of standard Ethernet Protocol which allows us to program Ethernet based modules to allow time and/or event delayed operation of external components. For example if minutes after a confirmed perimeter breach the owner wanted all cargo holds and the pilot house of the vessel to lock down until released from inside the pilot house via a secure code command MEDS™ allows that possibility. Or maybe a more aggressive approach is desired while still remaining non‐lethal in design. If the owner wanted motion activated debilitating sonic devices enabled at all doors when a confirmed breach is detected after the lock down of all doors this can be accomplished as well. Anything that you can think of when it comes to protecting your vessel and investment.

Overview: Maritime Security.

Maritime security is concerned with the prevention of intentional damage through sabotage, subversion, or terrorism. Maritime security is one of the three basic roles of the United States Coast Guard has gradually developed in response to a series of catastrophic events, which began in 1917.

 

There are three main maritime security activities conducted by the Coast Guard: Port Security / Vessel Security and Facility Security.

Port Security

 

The Port Security requirements found in the MTSA requires security measures for U.S. ports in order to reduce the risks and to mitigate the results of an act that threatens the security of personnel, facilities, vessels, and the public. The regulations draw together assets within port boundaries to provide a framework to communicate, identify risks, and coordinate resources to mitigate threats and consequences. The COTP must ensure that the total port security posture is accurately assessed, and that security resources are appropriate to meet these programs. The COTP must identify critical assets within a port, develop a prioritized list of those most susceptible to acts of sabotage, and plan for adequate security measures to meet specific needs.

Vessel Security

 

Both MTSA and the ISPS Code regulate vessel security. The regulations within these two documents require the owners or operators of vessels to designate security officers for vessels, develop security plans based on security assessments, implement security measures specific to the vessel’s operation, and comply with current Marine Security levels.

Facility Security

 

A facility is defined as: any structure or facility of any kind located in, on, under, or adjacent to any waters subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. and used, operated, or maintained by a public or private entity, including any contiguous or adjoining property under common ownership or operation. Some examples of facilities are:

Barge fleeting facilities.

Container terminals.

Oil storage facilities.

Passenger vessel terminals.

 

Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Facilities are generally offshore fixed platforms in water depths ranging up to 1,000 feet deep whose primary purpose is the exploration, development, and/or product of offshore petroleum reserves. This definition also includes novel floating design such as:

Tension Leg Platforms (TLP).

Floating Production Facilities (converted MODUs).

Floating Production Storage Offloading units (FPSO).

 

Both MTSA and the ISPS Code regulate facility security. The regulations within these two documents require the owners or operators of facilities to designate security officers for facilities, develop security plans based on security assessments, implement security measures specific to the facility’s operation, and comply with current Marine Security levels. Those facilities designated as Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) facilities must meet the same security requirements as those designated as waterfront facilities.

 

When US Navy merchant vessels are in dangerous waters, security detachments are posted on the vessel. Security forces have helped deter piracy as well as terrorist attacks, such as the Maersk Alabama and the USS Cole. US Navy merchant vessels normally train the deck department in firearms training, but the added Navy security detail provides for extra security. Additionally, Navy escorts might sometimes accompany the vessels, such as traveling through the Straights of Gibraltar.

We have just finished our third week of camp. The Willows campers have been kept very busy these past three weeks. The days have been flying by way too quickly. It was very exciting to have all our Willows family members join us for an outstanding visiting day. The children were extremely excited to share their activities with their parents, while the parents had fun pretending to be campers. We hope you had as much fun as we did and lunch together was terrific.

 

The children enjoyed this weeks theme of “I Spy”. They had fun decorating binoculars in Camper Creations. In Ceramics, each child enjoyed making their favorite food out of clay with the help of their parents. Their ceramic projects will be sent home shortly. To end our wonderful week, The Willows campers joined the rest of camp at Waterworld. The children drove

water boats and joined in other great water activities. A terrific time was had by all!

 

Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas. For more information on Willow Grove Day Camp and the services they provide please visit: willowgrovedaycamp.com/willows.html

A SLAVE NO MORE

Two Men Who Escaped to Freedom, Including Their Own Narratives of Emancipation

By David W. Blight

 

NEW YORK TIMES

Freedom Just Ahead: The War Within the Civil War

By WILLIAM GRIMES, Published: December 5, 2007

 

The chaos of Civil War meant only one thing to America’s four million slaves: hope. With armies on the march, and the old social order crumbling, men like John Washington and Wallace Turnage seized the moment and made a break for freedom, issuing their own emancipation proclamations before the fact. They were “quiet heroes of a war within the war to destroy slavery,” as David W. Blight puts it in “A Slave No More.”

 

Both Washington and Turnage, near contemporaries, wrote vivid accounts of their lives as slaves and the bold bids for freedom that took them across Confederate lines and into the waiting arms of Union soldiers. Recently discovered, both texts have been reproduced by Mr. Blight as written, with misspellings and grammatical errors intact.

 

Mr. Blight, a professor of American history at Yale and the author of “Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory,” has also provided an extended preface that provides historical context, fills in biographical gaps and extends the life stories of both men past the Civil War, when their manuscripts break off abruptly, to their deaths in the early 20th century. Two remarkable lives, previously lost, emerge with startling clarity, largely through the words of the principal actors themselves.

 

Washington, born in 1838, grew up in Fredericksburg, Va., and stayed there, in servitude to the widow of his master, after being separated from his mother and four younger siblings at 12. Unlike Turnage, who labored on an Alabama plantation and suffered constant whippings, Washington lived a town life, running errands or enduring hours of enforced idleness and staring longingly out the window.

 

In 1861 he was hired out to a tobacco factory in Richmond and got his first glimpse of Confederate troops, so many, he wrote, “that it appeard to be an impossiability, to us, colored people, that they could ever be conquord.” Soon, though, he began hearing of slaves making their way to the Union lines and freedom. Once back in Fredericksburg, where he worked as a hotel steward and barkeep, he decided to join their number.

 

Washington’s narrative captures both turmoil and nervous excitement as Union forces closed in on Fredericksburg, bayonets glinting across the Rappahannock River, their movements eagerly watched by black residents. Washington, in a characteristically sardonic aside, notes: “No one could be seen on the street but the colored people. and every one of them seemed to be in the best of humors.”

 

In the confusion Washington escaped to the Union lines. “I told them I was most happy to see them all that I had been looking for them for a long time,” he writes. When a Union soldier asks if he wants to be free, Washington answers simply, “by all means.”

 

In Alabama, Turnage met his oppressors with open defiance. He fought with bullwhip-wielding overseers, suffered repeated whippings and beatings and lit out for freedom repeatedly. Running for miles across creeks and through fields, cleverly talking his way out of tight spots and, more than once, fighting off enraged dogs, Turnage, a mere teenager, evaded pursuers for weeks at a time, enduring extreme deprivation.

 

“I went as long as four days without anything to eat but one hickery nut that the squirrels did not get,” he writes of one escapade.

 

Among other things, Turnage’s testimony sheds light on the support network among slaves, nearly all more than willing to feed or conceal a runaway, or provide information on how to evade capture on the road ahead. “They gloried in my spunk,” Turnage writes of a group of slaves who hid him at one plantation.

 

His final flight, from Mobile to the Union ships anchored offshore, caps his thrilling tale. After nonchalantly walking straight through a Confederate camp and wading barefoot through snake-infested swamps, he reaches an impasse, with Confederate pickets behind him and a broad expanse of water ahead of him.

 

“It was death to go back and it was death to stay there and freedom was before me,” he writes. He pressed forward and, by luck, found a rickety little boat on the shore.

 

“I Now dreaded the gun, and handcuffs and pistols no more,” he writes of his moment of deliverance, when Yankee sailors plucked him from Mobile Bay. “Nor the blewing of horns and the running of hounds; nor the threats of death from the rebel’s authority. I could now speak my opinion to men of all grades and colors, and no one to question my right to speak.”

 

Washington made his way to Washington, where he and his wife, whom he took from Fredericksburg, rose to middle-class prosperity. He died in 1918.

 

Turnage worked, at various times, as a janitor, sign painter, watchman and glass blower in New York. Eventually he moved to Jersey City, where he died in 1916.

 

By that time, slavery and the war were distant memories. In their all-too-brief narratives, Washington and Turnage, as Mr. Blight notes, offer a precious commodity: “unfiltered access to the process and the moment of emancipation.”

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

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

www.rafaelguizar.org/

 

Infancia y Educación

 

Rafael Guízar y Valencia nació en Cotija (Michoacán) el 26 de abril de 1878. Aprendió sus primeras letras en la escuela parroquial de su tierra natal y más tarde en un colegio jesuita en la Hacienda de San Simón de Cotija. Inició sus estudios eclesiásticos en el seminario de la diócesis de Zamora en 1894 y en junio de 1901 fue ordenado sacerdote en la catedral de Zamora.

 

Vida sacerdotal

 

Al poco tiempo de ser ordenado presbítero, acompañó al entonces obispo de Zamora, Mons. José María Cázares en las visitas pastorales a las poblaciones de su diócesis.

 

Durante las batallas de la Revolución mexicana, disfrazado de vendedor, actuó, de manera oculta, como sacerdote ayudando a los soldados moribundos y dándoles los auxilios espirituales de la Iglesia.

 

Luego de ser Director Espiritual y catedrático del Seminario de Zamora y canónigo de la Catedral, sufrió varios destierros por causa de la persecución religiosa que había en esos tiempos, y entre 1913 y 1919 viajó misionando a Cuba, Guatemala, Colombia y el Sur de los Estados Unidos.

 

Episcopado

 

Estando desterrado en Cuba, en agosto de 1919 fue preconizado 5º obispo de Veracruz por el Papa Benedicto XV, y el 30 de noviembre del mismo año recibió en la Habana, Cuba, la consagración episcopal.

 

Tomó posesión de su diócesis el 9 de enero de 1920 en la ciudad de Xalapa.

 

Durante su episcopado realizó varias misiones a prácticamente todas las parroquias de su territorio y luchó por su seminario, el cual mantuvo abierto, aún en contra de las leyes persecutorias.

 

Debido a dichas leyes, sufrío persecución y destierro ya siendo obispo, particularmente durante el conflicto de 1926 a 1929

 

Enfermedad y muerte

Afectado por diversas enfermedades (diabetes, flebitis, insuficiencia cardiaca y otros padecimientos) y estando desterrado de su diócesis, el 6 de junio de 1938 murió en la ciudad de México y su cuerpo trasladado a Xalapa, Veracruz, donde recibió sepultura. Al ser exhumado en 1950 se encontró su cadáver incorrupto y fue conducido a la Catedral de esa ciudad.

 

Beatificación

Beatificado en 1995 por el Papa Juan Pablo II, en sus imágenes figura con vestimenta e insignias episcopales.

 

En Roma, el padre Rafael González, vicepostulador de la causa, y los padres de Rafael de Jesús Barroso, el niño del milagro, asistieron a su beatificación.

 

Canonización

El domingo 15 de octubre del 2006 en la Ciudad del Vaticano fue canonizado por el papa Benedicto XVI el beato Rafael Guízar y Valencia, quien ha sido el primer obispo mexicano en ser declarado santo.

 

El Sumo Pontífice encabezó el rito mediante el cual se declaró nuevo santo al quinto obispo del estado de Veracruz, México, quien se convirtió en el santo número 30 de México, el país de hispanohablante con más católicos en Latinoamérica y que cuenta con 25 beatos (Beatos de México).

 

Rafael Guízar, junto a otros tres beatos, fueron elevados al honor de los altares

 

Se trata de Filippo Smaldone (1848-1923), presbítero y fundador de la Congregación de las Hermanas Salesianas de los Sagrados Corazones y Rosa Venerini (1656-1728), fundadora de la Congregación de las Maestras Pías Venerinas.

 

También la francesa Theodore Guérin (1798-1856), virgen y fundadora de la Congregación de las Hermanas de la Providencia de Santa María de los Bosques en Indiana, Estados Unidos, donde pasó gran parte de su vida.

 

El milagro por el cual fue canonizado Rafaél Guízar y Valencia ocurrió en el año 2002, cuando a la señora Valentina Santiago se le detectó, a través de un ultrasonido, una malformación en su embarazo.

 

Al conocer la noticia, la mujer pidió la intervención del santo mexicano. Tiempo después, el niño Rafael de Jesús Barroso nació sano y sin ninguna complicación.

 

La Comisión Médica, el 18 de mayo de 2005, comprobó la cura milagrosa del labio leporino que padecía el feto desde el seno materno a las 31 semanas de su gestación, y que no apareció en el niño recién nacido.

 

El congreso de los Teólogos Consultores, aprobó el milagro el 15 de noviembre de 2005, por lo que concedió el juicio resolutivo de curación completa y milagrosa, inexplicable científicamente.

 

Durante la ceremonia litúrgica 10 peregrinos mexicanos recibieron la comunión de manos del Papa Benedicto XVI. En la canonización también estuvieron presentes algunos obispos mexicanos, entre ellos los cardenales Norberto Rivera Carrera y Juan Sandoval Iñiguez. Y en la Ciudad de México, en la Basilica de Guadalupe Amelia Cristina Guízar sobrina nieta, asistió con el Coro Suizo de la Ciudad de México a compañar la misa. La noche del sábado 14 de octubre de 2006, en el zócalo de Xalapa y frente a la catedral donde yacieron los restos del santo, comenzó una vigilia de oración y verbena popular esperando la transmisión directa de la ceremonia desde Ciudad del Vaticano, que fue dada el domingo 15 de octubre de 2006.

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
