мне кажется, я уже писал где-то о проекте Марины Абрамович “The Artist Is Present”:
From March 14 to May 31, 2010, the Museum of Modern Art held a major retrospective and performance recreation of Abramović’s work, the biggest exhibition of performance art in Moma’s history. During the run of the exhibition, Abramović performed “The Artist is Present,” a 736-hour and 30-minute static, silent piece, in which she sat immobile in the museum’s atrium, while spectators were invited to take turns sitting opposite her. A support group for the “sitters,” “Sitting with Marina,” was established on Facebook
но сейчас опять пересматривал снимки — удивительные все же без меры, чарующие своей простотой, но и отражением всего мира в глазах:
No motion, no noise, just the ultimate staring game. Intense.
<...>
That’s hundreds upon hundreds of viewers who stared directly into the face of an iconographic artist, but still a woman they did not know and would never speak to. And Marina acknowledged and started back into each and every one of their faces in return.
You can’t help but wonder: What would I think about? What would Marina think about me? What expression would I make? How long would I last? What would I gain from an experience like that?
увижу ли я другой мир? и увидит ли он меня?

а вот то, что вызвало Эдипины слезы:
In Mexico City they somehow wandered into an exhibition of paintings by the beautiful Spanish exile Remedies Varo: in the central painting of a triptych, titled “Bordando el Manto Terrestre,” were a number of frail girls with heart-shaped faces, huge eyes, spun-gold hair, prisoners in the top room of a circular tower, embroidering a kind of tapestry which spilled out the slit windows and into a void, seeking hopelessly to fill the void: for all the other buildings and creatures, all the waves, ships and forests of the earth were contained in this tapestry, and the tapestry was the world. Oedipa, perverse, had stood in front of the painting and cried. <...> She had looked down at her feet and known, then, because of a painting, that what she stood on had only been woven together a couple thousand miles away in her own tower, was only by accident known as Mexico, and so Pierce had taken her away from nothing, there’d been no escape. What did she so desire escape from? Such a captive maiden, having plenty of time to think, soon realizes that her tower, its height and architecture, are like her ego only incidental: that what really keeps her where she is is magic, anonymous and malignant, visited on her from outside and for no reason at all. <...> If the tower is everywhere and the knight of deliverance no proof against its magic, what else?
очень важная цитата, к слову сказать.

мне всегда казалось, что Джейсон Тилки постоянно изображает тебя одну — распятую пересечением дорог и домов:
Jason Thielke’s art focuses on urban landscapes and their inhabitants. A strong emotional connection to the built environment and its inevitable rise and fall provide the foundation for his work. Thielke’s aesthetic encompasses both contemporary and traditional techniques much like modern architecture; his process of drawing, composing, and transferring images mirrors the planning, deconstruction and reconstruction phases of urban gentrification. The architectural style in his work is applied to his interpretation of the human form, which comfortably contrasts hard lines with soft features and mixed emotions.
мне нравится.

стая слов:
All Sorts is a collection of collective nouns that may or may not have found their way into the Oxford English Dictionary. If you think that a charismatic collective is far superior to a dullard ‘bunch’ or ‘flock’ then this is the place for you.
там же и прекрасные иллюстрации: 1 + 2 + 3 + …
