Dirty Yoga en Taipei
Mis blogs son en español, sin embargo, me resultó interesante editar este tema (my blogs are Spanish only but I read this article and considered it really interesting to be added):
The theme of the fifth Taipei Biennial opening on November 4 this year is "Dirty Yoga". The biennial attempts to use a currently popular pursuit as a symbol to explore, within the context of globalization, the conflicts that exist among different extreme values, and the various possibilities that may arise from them.
Since the 1960s, people have gradually turned from radical politics and ideology to a preoccupation with the approach to living, as manifested in the satisfaction of "desire¨ in our daily lives. Desire has replaced science and ethics as the primary social motivation for progress, while its essence and symbols undergo constant change. This highlights the increasingly important role played by consumerism and marketing mechanisms. This expression of desire is also a manifestation of energy. Increased desire leads to greater fear of loss. People today are afraid of losing their health, their beauty, their youth and their wealth. To counter their fear of facing this reality, they invent different spectacular spaces and collective activities. Gradually, these spaces and activities are replacing abstract religion and turning into a universal belief.
As these broad social changes unfold, the underlying structure of rational thought is also changing. Rational binary logic has long transcended the status of mental tool and become a modality of thought itself. Our largely dormant capacity to imagine productive thought occurring outside of binary dualisms subtly governs our way of perceiving and interacting with the outside world. With Western civilization slowly loosening its hegemonic grip on the rest of the planet, the power of the binary over our shared humanity shows corresponding signs of crumbling. Enemies and allies, good and evil, beautiful and ugly, rich and poor¡Ktoday they shift about on unstable supports, more relativized with each rhetorical effort to incorporate the outmoded codes into the new meta-language of fear and desire. In recent years, artists everywhere have begun to pay attention to and promote a ¡Third way! of understanding the world not according to the direct opposition of a conservative social establishment and an anti-establishment, but beginning with a synthesis of the many, and leading to consensus and other forms of non-oppositional resolution.
The artists invited to this Taipei Biennial will participate in different forms in a discourse of "between-ness" that produces hybrid, mutated, nomadic meanings that are always contingent, and often subject to multiple interpretations, just as the noun "between-ness¨ suggests a state of possessing two meanings and neither of those meanings at the same time. While the state of "between-ness¨, like a utopia, may never be realized, it often leads to the possibility of understanding and recognition through some kind of confrontation, like that implied by the meanings of the words "restricted¨ and "dirty" in our daily lives.

Arte en movimiento...
Tuvieron que repetirlo 606 veces para que saliera perfecto. Los primeros 605 tenían que volverlo a montar todo y empezar de nuevo. Llevó tres meses, seis millones de dólares filmarlo y mucha paciencia. Es el anuncio más descargado de Internet en su historia. Todas las piezas son de dos coches Honda Accord. Los limpiaparabrisas que se ponen en marcha al contacto con el líquido son del modelo nuevo que tienen sensores automáticos para detectar agua.
Me gusta el diseño de este video... Disfrutálo.

¡Vernissage..!
La apertura de Expo Artistas 2006 tuvo su calor. Mucho público se acercó para compartir la inauguración de las actividades de la feria; los primeros resultados estuvieron a la vista con gran cantidad de ventas y reservas inmediatas de trabajos muy logrados; un público maduro que enriqueció la inauguración de esta etapa.
Excelente presentación de los colegas.
Comparto espacio circundándome con las técnicas mixtas de Stella Maris Alday, los óleos de Graciela Guadalupe Barco y los intaglios de María Vera.

Una obra de Peñalver
"Este es un cuadro que explora una línea diferente en mi trabajo. Es el retrato de Elva Fuertes, una pintora que me ha influenciado mucho, intentando pintar una y otra vez su retrato intentando negar la terminación de lo que había debajo. Pertenece a la serie de "cuadros de musas" que ya iré subiendo poco a poco. A ver que os parece. He pasado por fases con ella. A veces me parece un poco pretenciosa, muy gráfica, tipo comic, como sin acabar. Muchas veces me he planteado si están acabadas las manos. La vió un pintor amigo mio Angulo, que yo creo que es muy bueno y le gustó. A mi galerista no le gustan, porque piensa que es una obra a la que no está acostumbrada mi público. Aunque ahora le gustan más después de haberla visto en la exposición de los Alcazares. Estoy subjetivado, porque es el retrato de una amiga que me inspira bastante me gusta por eso. La obra está poco menos que arrumbada en algun rincón de la galeria Babel. Hubo tentativas por mi parte de presentarla al concurso de pintura de Fuente Álamo, que aquí en Murcia tiene un buen nivel...Para mí la obra tiene un punto de maldición por todo lo que cuento. Quizás también por eso me gusta tanto. Mi amigo Agustin dijo de ella:"De las obras malditas: aquellas que se inician pero ¿cuando terminan? Me atrapa la "seducción indiferente de una musa multiplicada": temo-deseo: alejarse o caer en sus brazos: qué hará de mi destino? Espero no la des nunca por finalizada y que siga en un cajón". Termino con este largo texto pero me gusta tanto esta obra que no quería exhibirla sin decir esto."
