In Bergamo (the town where i live) there is this abandoned wall full of very beautiful artworks.
Yesterday i shooted al the wall before they demolish it and decide to build another (Another?) mall!!
On the project name list an important message is at the end... It says 344 folks have participated in this project... isn't that just awesome...
It looks like Account Number is "mandatory" based on the error message, but the help text on the field says Recommended.
I had entered a Destination Country, but when the page reloads with the error, the field is blanked.
And what's a Reference?
I thought this was brilliant.....As I was taking a photo of some graffiti that caught my eye, I discovered that next to the work there was a comment left in small writing for the artist.
The message reads:
I am a 68 year old man who came here for blackberries to make wine. I saw your artwork. Thank you. Your art is beautiful. You bring beauty to a forgotten zone. If only more people could see this truth. You do no harm. God bless you. Ronnie
Messages like this one are painted on all of the houses in the village. They remind people about the importance of safe sex, HIV/AIDs protection, pregnancy, etc.
St. Paul's Basilica posted Cardinal Thomas Collins message on COVID-19 on its door and closed the church.
We Monks do have a taste for kitsch and for "found objects" and ephemera. We even have a set of pictures on Flickr with that name, and when we stumbled upon the current Pascale Marthine Tayou show at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, in Hyde Park London, we both responded positively.
Confirming Monk philosophy, we dare speculate that Pascale has found and offered beauty and joy and relevance in everyday colourful bulk issue fast food plastic straws, pipes and bags and bottles.
The theme of the show is artfully “suggested” and not hammered home; allowing the meaning and the connections between each motif to sink-in without fuss or pretension.
Those art lovers who lined up to see and pay to see Damien Hirst’s diamond skull in order to find the meaning of life, should consider staying away.
Pascale’s Visitors will not be required to pay for that privilege and will not fail to register his polemic before they find the exit.
Joy indulged, message delivered.
Pascale describes his installation as "deceitful";
I would add, knowingly so.
A pleasure to be had...... the politics of ....
OIL
STRAW
CHOCOLATE
WATER
And the means by which it is distributed.
