Casa Navàs, Reus, Tarragona (Spain), is one of the most important modernist buildings in Europe, the work of architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. It was built between 1901 and 1908 and is preserved practically as it was when it was first opened.

There's an art series called Froid'Art in Kingston, Canada that is basically an outdoor exhibition of acrylic paintings frozen directly into ice. The exhibition is on from 'now until the snow melts'. And there's something so ephemeral and fleeting and in the moment about art that has this variable deadline on it: when the air warms up and your knees aren't knocking in the cold, will you be happy to feel a warm breeze or sad to watch a beautiful painting melt?

Anyway, it sounds like a great idea, I'm going to show you a few pictures from their websites and socials.

The idea of the exhibition was to give people 'a reason to go outside for a walk' and to embrace winter. They etched with markers and acrylic paints onto transparent plastic mylar sheets, imagined everything from warm, summery scenes to Canada's most beloved band (and Kingston locals) The Tragically Hip, and froze them into 300 lb blocks of clear ice.

"There is a depth and beauty to the finished work that we could not have envisioned. There, suspended, embedded, enshrined within this perfect ice, was our work. A frame of embracing cold that somehow could make you feel warm. The work took on new dimensions. It gained a holographic quality, it gleamed!", writes one of the artists, Lori Kallay.

Cultural Heritage of Kharkiv

Boyko House

The House for I. Boyko, architects S. Timoshenko and P. Shirshov was built in 1912

The building was initially two-story. The mansion belonged to entrepreneur Boyko and included three apartments. The hall with a marble staircase was illuminated through a glass roof. In 1914, the vestibule and staircase walls were painted by artist Mykola Samokish. The hall was also adorned with a panel by Sergiy Vasylkivsky. In 1930, the building was transferred to the nkvd department, and the mansion was converted into an apartment building by adding two floors, but the original roof and tower were dismantled. The walls with paintings were half-painted over and then whitewashed, and Vasylkivsky's panel was discarded.

Later, artists cleaned the paintings from the paint.

The entrance was decorated with a floral ornament.

On the northern side, there was also a picturesque panel by Sergei Vasylkivsky, but it was completely lost.

In 1970, the whitewash was removed.

Already in 2006, a professor from the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, together with students, conducted a comprehensive study of the painting. They examined the ornament under ultraviolet light and a microscope and involved a chemistry expert. They then developed a restoration methodology. Over the course of two months, they restored two fragments. These fragments had seven layers of paint of different compositions from different periods.

Rise of Bali island

Rise of Bali Island

listen to flashbacks from the island of Bali. Bali is a small fragment of the island of Java, which before being separated was the eastern tip of the island of Java.

In the 8th century, one of the holy Hindu priests came to Panjang Island, namely Bali at that time, bringing revelations he had received in his meditation on Mount Raung, East Java. namely to establish a new settlement at the tip of the island of Java.

The separation of the islands of Bali and Java is just like a canal

with around 600 followers began to visit the island of Bali and established settlements in Bali. In the place where he first came and established a settlement at that time.

Taro village can be seen traces of its history in the form of a temple that was founded in accordance with the temple where he received this revelation, called the Gunung Raung Temple. However, he and his followers could not survive long in Taro. 

At that time, many of his followers died from nature and wild animals, including disease outbreaks, until his followers decreased drastically. 

Because of the special power on this island. He returned to Mount Raung to avoid more casualties. then he meditated to get further guidance in establishing a new settlement in a place with this special power.

He also received instructions, namely that he had to plant the 5 elements in the highest place in the area, because this area contains very strong energy which must be neutralized with these 5 elements. He left after receiving the instructions by only inviting 200 of his followers to avoid more victims if something dangerous happened.He returned to his original camp and from here he opened the road to Mount Agung, the highest mountain. The holy data collector was named: Rsi Markandya, one of the Rsi from India who lived in East Java.

 He and his followers succeeded in reaching this mountain and planting these 5 elements. and established settlements around this area. Since these 5 elements were planted, the Balinese population began to be created. Click here to include culture in your tour itineraries or travel plan 

The priest also told his followers to make offerings to neutralize the power in Bali. Since then, Balinese culture has begun to emerge, where his followers use East Javanese culture with language and so on, but this language has developed so that it has a slightly different language structure. 

The island they lived on because it prioritized offerings to neutralize the terrible power within it, this island has since been called Bali from the word WALI...

Many of his followers developed in the Bali area at that time. After the islands of Bali and Java were separated, many Javanese people came to Bali so many clans came. Many residents who first came to Bali are now called ancient traditional Balinese villages.
