#Venus van Willendorf

[k00321662]

More artist research- Body

Before in my mindmap i simply researched Jan Stefan Van Calcar and his beautiful and intricate work on the human body in a very literal sense. his work was quite scientific and logical.

Now I wanted to look at a different perspective, the female perspective, even. As I was listening to the blindboy podcast as I was drawing, it discussed and looked at two pieces, both ancient, one Irish and the other European- or more specifically- Austrian. Both portray the female body, but in very different ways and with different meanings.

Venus of Willendorf was a beautiful carving which, in common belief was thought by historians to be a sexual object. one that was carved by man. depicting a woman with a large and curvaceous form, with thick thighs, a large stomach and heavy breasts. She was thought of as a depiction of fertility and sexuality, carved by a man. However, the more recent thought- that blindboy brought up- and i personally also subscribe to is that she was carved by a woman. she is not a goddess of fertility, merely a regular woman. its thought that this woman, who did not have a mirror wished to see how she looked like so as she sculpted, she looked down at herself and sculpted from what she saw.

The second piece is the Irish icons of the Sheela Na Gigs. these are littered all across Ireland. they are sculptures- often on buildings- of women holding open their legs and labia open. these labia are incredibly exaggerated and almost cartoonish on design. many historians have thought of this woman, holding herself agape, as a depiction of fertility and longing for offspring. many believed people prayed as these for luck conceiving. however, another interpretation is that these were carved as a hope to have safety in childbearing and childbirth. especially with the high death rate during childbirth of both mother and child.

I hope to have this inspire me in some of my pieces.

Een schooldirecteur in Florida moest afgelopen week ontslag nemen omdat ze het in de les had over de David van Michelangelo. Zoals bekend liet Michelangelo het geslachtsdeel van David onbedekt. Reden voor de katholieke kerk om er in de Middeleeuwen een metalen vijgenblad voor te hangen. Ooit zag ik de David van Michelangelo in Florence, en hij viel me wat tegen. Zo letterlijk.

Woede-uitbarstingen over prehistorische vruchtbaarheidsbeeldjes van curvy vrouwen kwam ik nog niet tegen. Zo´n 25.000 jaar geleden werd in Oostenrijk de Venus van Willendorf gevonden. Archeologen stellen dat het beeldje onmogelijk ter plekke vervaardigd kan zijn. Wellicht beeldt het een zwangere vrouw uit. Misschien kwam ze uit een welgestelde familie. Er is debat over de vraag waarom de Venus geen herkenbaar gezicht heeft.

I think all my poems are circling around the same topic. Maybe I’ll perfect it eventually. Maybe all poems are inevitably about the same thing.

Ideeën veranderen: God was een (stevige) vrouw

Ideeën veranderen: God was een (stevige) vrouw

De weelderige vrouw van Fernando Botero. De moedergodin die gevonden werd in het Turkse Çatalhöyük bij opgravingen van een nederzetting die ruim 7000 jaar voor Christus gedateerd is. De Venus van Willendorf, één van de oudste Europese bewijzen van een moedergodin. In de christelijk-joodse ideeënwereld waarin ik ben opgegroeid was er één god en die was man. Dat is een idee. En ideeën veranderen.…

What would YOU wear to the Met Gala? Money is not an issue ;)

So there are two difficulties I have lol. 1) this is a really hard year, the theme is so abstract 2) gowns are usually custom so I can’t really identify one they’ve already made that I could wear. 

I had two main concepts when I thought of the word time. The first is about how fashion is the visual end point of hundreds of hours of work and exposing that in the final piece so perhaps a simple silhouette with embroidery on it marking how many hours or minutes were spent on each part of the gown. Something like this Dior:

The second idea I had was around the way the ideal of female beauty has changed over time. I thought something more avant garde, inspired by the Venus of Willendorf. Thom Browne did some pieces inspired by the statue and I also think Iris Van Herpen could do great things with this (I love her and really just want to wear her stuff)

Actually speaking of Iris I think she could do a really interesting take on the futurist art movement. Pieces by someone like Georges Braque take images and break them down and put them back together in deconstructed ways so it’s almost like the picture is moving, like there are multiple moments of time laid on top of one another. This is a Duchamp painting showing a nude woman walking down a stair case:

The Class Of Stone Sculpture- It Will Make A Difference To Your Home

How we decorate our homes, reflects our taste in art. Of course, you have to be excessively fiscally-endowed to be able to own a Picasso or Van Gogh and prints don't make for as striking an impression. Art is a vital part of home and outside decor, to break the dreariness and monotony of bare spaces, be they walls or the room - having a stone sculpture properly exhibited and appropriately lit, speaks volumes about its owners taste in art and gives a unique feel and character to the area where it is placed.

Stone sculptures have great physical presence and look much pricier than what they actually cost. Stone sculptures are available in all sizes and it is easy to find one that meets your budget. A good stone sculpture will cost far less than a medium sized painting and will add far more beauty to the home than a painting, which are more commonplace and do not immediately attract attention.

Stone sculpture normally ranges in prices from extremely low to the more expensive ones. You can actually get a stone sculpture for as less as $200 dollars. Even though making a stone sculpture is a time consuming process, chipping away stone is far more difficult than putting paint on canvas, the beauty of the stone sculpture lies in its natural beauty.

Stones are beautiful and no two stones are alike. They are a natural formation and have their own individual patterns and color. Furthermore, they could be thousands of years old, making it feel like you are brining a piece of civilization into your home.

Stone sculpture has the added advantage of being three-dimensional and it is perhaps one of the oldest art forms known to mankind. It is an art activity that is older than civilization itself and thousands of statues have been unearthed in excavations that give credence to this truth. Earlier the only tools that were used were a chisel and a hammer, whereas now sculptors have the luxury of using modern implements like pneumatic hammers, drills and similar devices, but for the finer portions, chisels and hammers are still used.

Stone sculptures are ideal, for both your interiors and exteriors. When putting them in your garden, put them on a tree stump, or on specially constructed pedestal in locations of your choice. Of course, when you put them outside, unless they are really heavy, make sure that they are secure and safe from thieves, who know that they will fetch a good price in the market. Outside sculptures do not require lighting, but interior sculptures most certainly do - good lighting enhances the appearance of the piece and gives it a vivid and remarkable look that catches the eye faster.

With stone sculptures you are actually living with art and your sculpture could actually appreciate in value over time. Who knows that your stone sculpture could one day be recognized for its worth and value just as the four most well known sculptures known to mankind, Venus of Willendorf, the Giant Buddha and the greatest of them all Michelangelo's Pieta, where Jesus is lying on the lap of his mother Mary and the statue of David, made by the Renaissance great, perhaps the greatest stone sculpture artist ever, 500 hundred years ago.

Weense musea maken account aan op pornovriendelijk Onlyfans: ‘Abonneer je om de naaktfoto’s te zien’

De toeristische dienst in de Oostenrijkse hoofdstad heeft de buik vol van internetcensuur op naakt bij kunstwerken en heeft een bijzondere oplossing gevonden dankzij Onlyfans, een adult only-platform dat zelfs pornobeelden toelaat.

Wegens de half zichtbare welving van een vrouwelijke borst in het werk van de Japanse fotograaf Nobuyoshi Araki werd het Albertina museum van Wenen in juli van Tiktok gegooid en kon het museum helemaal opnieuw beginnen met het verzamelen van volgers. Anderhalf jaar geleden verloor het museum ook al zijn Instagram-account omdat een schilderij van Peter Paul Rubens ‘te veel ongewenst naakt toonde’. Een foto van de Venus van Willendorf, een 25.000 jaar oud beeldje, kostte het Naturhistorisches museum in Wenen nog een jaar eerder dan weer heel zijn Facebook-account, want Facebook oordeelde ook na een verklarend antwoord van het museum dat het ‘duidelijk om pornografische content ging’. En zo kan het nog even doorgaan met voorbeelden.

De toeristische dienst van Wenen lette daarom de afgelopen jaren zeer goed op met welke beelden (on)geschikt zijn voor de socialemediaplatforms. Enkel de minst naakte delen van kunstwerken en expo’s werden op Facebook, Instagram en Tiktok geplaatst. En als er teaservideo’s werden gemaakt, probeerde de dienst toerisme rond de tepels en penissen te fietsen. Maar dat verarmt en beperkt het aanbod te sterk, vindt de dienst nu, die onlangs een teaservideo waar het schilderij Liebespaar van Koloman Moser eventjes in te zien was, verwijderd zagen door Facebook en Instagram wegens ‘mogelijk pornografisch’.

Weense musea maken account aan op pornovriendelijk Onlyfans: ... - De Standaard 

Er werd op de Tiktok account van het Albertina museum van Wenen een video geplaatst met het werk van de Japanse fotograaf Nobuyoshi Araki. Op de foto stond er een vrouw halfnaakt aan het pauzeren. Enkel de half welving van haar borst was op de foto zichtbaar. Door dat foto werd de Tiktok account van Albertina museum van Wenen volledig verwijderd, waardoor ze helemaal opnieuw moesten beginnen bij het verzamelen van volgers. Dit soort incident is al een aantal keren gebeurd. De toeristische dienst van Wenen lette heel goed op, op wat ze op social media plaatsten. Er is tegenwoordig veel porno op social media. Het is daarom dat zo’n foto’s automatisch geassocieerd worden aan porno en ze dan verwijderd worden. Daar kunnen de kunstenaars en musea niets aan doen. Ze kunnen enkel goed opletten op wat ze op social media plaatsen om zo’n problemen niet meer mee te maken.

#cuadrosdentrodecuadros "La venus de barro" Tiene años ésta pintura y un estilo muy propio de alargar los cuerpos tipo El Grecco, aunque es mucho más joven que el marco de mi hermoso espejo. Siempre me gustó la mujer representada como la Afrodita/Venus y como al pasar los años los canones van cambiando desde la Venus de willendorf, pasando por la Venus de Milo y también el nacimiento de Venus de Boticcelli, La Emperatriz en las cartas del Tarot. Hacedoras de mitos y magia, de belleza etérea, de crear vida en su cuerpo y también en su alma! De hacer y rehacer, de amar y odiar con una pasión infinita, de morir y renacer, volver a morir y nacer de vuelta! Eso representa la Venus para mi, la escencia misma de la mujer. . . . . . #Venus #acrilico #acrylicpainting #acrylic #painting #pintura #art #arte #arte #contemporanyart #artecontemporaneo #artista #cultura #culture 🥰❤💕 (en Monserrat, Distrito Federal, Argentina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Osz70AWJa/?igshid=1ql8ogcaiiyhr

I'm going to send that Venus of Willendorf paper to my art history teacher because that like made so many lights in my brain go off and it made so much sense. And also I'm becoming friends with him and it's nice to meet someone else who just genuinely loves all kinds of art and who respects me as someone who really wants to learn and know more about art. Because even other people who take and care about art history don't Really care about it...they just like Van Gogh or something and want to just seem more cultured without actually caring about the subject matter ....

Also I just LOVE the Venus of Willendorf (and all of the other Venus figurines)...they're my mothers and my sisters

INSTANTANEA DE LA CONCURRENCIA

Arquitecto José Luis Solei: Arquitecto y docente, y de larga trayectoria en el arte. Fue reconocido en numerosas ocasiones y obtuvo varios premios adquisiciones. Realizó  muestras individuales y colectivas a nivel nacional y el exterior.

Una notable iniciativa del #ECU, que integra múltiples disciplinas y abordajes desde distintas concepciones y confrontaciones visuales y estéticas, aunando voluntades del arte, proveyendo así a Rosario de un evento de jerarquía multidisciplinar.

  Manual para una crítica en la época de la posverdad

1 – Su nombre no necesariamente debe figurar dentro de los personajes con un grado considerable de influencia en el medio artístico. No es un requisito que su voz esté autorizada,como tampoco lo es tener una hoja de vida hiperextensa para presentar sus ideas a una audiencia.

2 – Mantenga una posición relativamente independiente de las instituciones. Si bien es difícil hablar sobre cualquier tema sin estar inmerso en el mismo, al hacer crítica, es preferible que la posición que usted ocupa no interfiera con el libre desarrollo y publicación de sus ideas. Eso no quiere decir que al tener vínculos con instituciones se deba renunciar a la crítica, por el contrario, es una razón para que sus argumentos se desarrollen con una mayor consciencia y responsabilidad con la audiencia.

3 – Encuentre una plataforma de divulgación con la que usted esté cómodo. Desde la típica publicación impresa que puede hacer circular entre sus amigos pasando por las páginas web, blogs y foros de discusión hasta las nuevas redes como Facebook, Twitter o Instagram. Cualquiera es válida en esta actualidad hiperglobalizada donde cualquier opinión es capaz de transgredir los límites geográficos en cuestión de segundos. Tenga en cuenta que todo lo que diga puede ser usado en su contra, pero tranquilo, las polémicas en la época de la posverdad no suelen durar más de un día especialmente en Twitter. Una vez haya seleccionado su medio, escriba -o twitteé- ideas valiosas que hagan al público reflexionar así sea durante dos segundos de su vida.

4- Elija con sabiduría. Probablemente no sea la mejor idea hablar sobre esa exposición de ese artista que no soporta. Hacer crítica y hablar mal de algo o alguien no son sinónimos. En últimas, llamar la atención resaltando lo menos virtuoso de una situación resulta fácil -se llama amarillismo- pero mantener el interés de su público al exaltar las bondades de la obra a la vez que se intenta transmitir la experiencia que tuvo al estar all��, presenciándola, es lo que cualquier crítico debería proponerse: un reto. Elija con sabiduría. Plantéese retos.

  5 – Evite la codicia, no se puede tener todo como tampoco se puede hablar de todo. Al asumir un rol de crítico debe entender que tiene limitaciones (humanas específicamente), por lo que, le va a ser imposible salir de una inauguración en el centro de la ciudad para ir al lanzamiento de cierta publicación en el norte a la misma hora. Siga su intuición y seleccione aquellas situaciones que le parezcan valiosas. Acepte que no todos los eventos van a ser increíbles y que muy probablemente habrá semanas -tal vez meses- en los que ninguna obra o artista moverán las fibras más internas de su ser para motivarlo a escribir de manera obsesiva sobre ello.

  6 – No hable de más. En esta práctica menos es más. No necesita una introducción de tres párrafos para hablar de ese detalle ínfimo que captó su atención durante toda la visita. Ocúpese de lo más importante -de su idea principal- de entrada. No le enrede la vida al lector que ya bastante tiene con no entender el arte per se.

  7 – Humildad ante todo. Un crítico es una persona pensando y escribiendo, que puede cometer errores o cambiar de opinión. Entienda que, así como usted tiene el valor de publicar sus ideas sobre una situación en específico, también debe tenerlo a la hora de haber cometido un error y pedir públicamente disculpas. No dé las cosas por hecho, permítase dudar y dé lugar a la duda en sus textos. Hacer crítica no es un absoluto, es un inicio a las múltiples lecturas que el arte permite.

  8 – Escribir es saber escoger palabras. El lenguaje es un arma de doble filo. Así como puede facilitar la tarea el seleccionar las palabras adecuadas también puede ser el fin de sus días como crítico el uso de términos incomprensibles e irrespetuosos. Haga uso de un lenguaje que atraiga, que quiera ser leído y no de uno que imponga una barrera entre usted y su audiencia. No se trata llenar sus textos de ornamentos lingüísticos, pero sí de hacer amena la lectura a la vez que se presenten ideas claras, concisas y con un estilo ojalá propio.

  9 – Autoedítese.

  10 – Disfrúteselo. Disfrute su ida al museo que no visita hace diez años o a la galería de un colega, el performance que lo pone nervioso, la instalación que lo invita a acercarse, el juego de palabras que usa el artista, ese color sienna que siempre le ha gustado y no se explica el porqué, las tertulias que se forman alrededor del evento, los sentimientos que cada cosa le generan. Disfrútelo, experiméntelo, organícelo, escríbalo y publíquelo.

A Timeline of Science, Art, and Culture References

For funsies, I decided to compile a timeline of events that are referred to in Western American cultural heritage. This is so I could get a grip on questions like “could Shakespeare have seen the ‘Mona Lisa’?“ or “could have Martin Luther’s thesis been set in Helvetica?” or “were ninjas concurrent with Caribbean pirates or the discovery of America?” I know not everything is included, and I left out many contributions that were significant, but I tried to make a point by including what I did. Especially with the scientific advancements. Some things are trivial, but rather interesting (sperm whale oil use, I’m looking at you). Other things, I just liked. I also left off most of the 20th & 21st century, because it’s mostly living memory.

In other words, don’t shoot the messenger if your favorite thing isn’t included.

With that said, here is what I have so far. Enjoy!:

personne n’est prophète en son pays, mais c’est pas la France où je serai prophète

[HU]

A metróból láttam egy termékenység istennőt, egy tavasztündért, néger volt, és olyan testalkata volt, mint egy kicsit elhízott willendorfi vénusznak, talpig sárgába volt öltözve, és a fején egy kb 15 centi hosszú sugarakkal ellátott fehér korona volt, a kezében meg bevásárló szatyor, sajnos a metró pont elhúzott a megállóból pedig annyi kérdésem lett volna.

Eltelt egy hónap amióta itt vagyok, hát már nem játszhatom be a megszeppent idegen lány kártyát, és szeretném, ha nem kéne bejátszanom sem a “nem szeretnek a franciák, hát én sem fogom szeretni őket” kártyát, bár ez a második valamivel nehezebb. Blazírtak, mondja rájuk a lakótársam, és kénytelen vagyok hinni neki, mert ő több ideje itt van, és még franciául is beszél, míg én franciául csak hallgatok. Minden esetre, még az angolul tudó franciákkal is úgy beszélünk el egymás mellett, mint a gyorsvonatok, és már csak nagyon kis reményt táplálok az iránt, hogy egyszercsak azt mondhatom valakire, hogy “Ez itt az én franciám!”, mint Izidor a Gadjo Dilo-ban.

Jelentem, hogy egy hónap elég ahhoz, hogy a sajt mindennapossá váljon, a croissant-okkal és bagettekkel meg nem is sikerült igazi barátságot kötnöm, mindazok bánatára, akik ezt olvasva legszivesebben egy croissant-okból vetett ágyba feküdnének este. (És hol vannak még a libamájpástétomok, mon Dieu!) Két hete még csak meg sem látogattam semmit, az vesse rám az első követ, aki nem érzett már heti ötven óra munka után ellenállhatatlan késztetést arra, hogy hétvégéit áldott semmittevéssel töltse otthon pizsamában. No lám.

Az iskola viszont továbbra is elegendő izgalmat nyújt, újabbnál újabb szakmai kihívások elé állít,  az említett gyorsvonat jelenségnek köszönhetően meg gyakran kell újracsináljam azt, amit így is alig sikerült kisajtolni magamból. A kezdeti merevségből lassan átváltok egy közbülső fásultságba, de szellemi izmaim intenzív edzésre találnak a kiköpült vajba vetett hitem megőrzésében.

  [RO] 

Din metrou am văzut o zeiță a fertilității, o zână a primăverii, era negresă, avea fizicul unei Venus de Willendorf puțin îngrășate, era îmbrăcată în galben din cap până-n picioare, in cap avea o coroană albă cu raze de de câte 15 cm, și în mână o plasă de cumpărături. Din păcate metroul tocmai pleca din stație când și-a făcut apariția, și am rămas plină de întrebări.

A trecut o lună de când mă aflu la Paris, deci nu-mi mai pot asuma justificat rolul de fată nou-venită și dezorientată, iar rolul de “nu mă plac francezii, deci nu-i plac nici eu pe ei” nu vreau să mi-l asum, deși ar fi tare la îndemână. Sunt prea blasé, spune Viviane despre francezi, și sunt nevoită s-o cred pe cuvânt, pentru că locuiește aici de mai multă vreme, și vorbește și franceză, în timp ce eu doar tac franceză. În orice caz, până și cu francezii vorbitori de engleză îmi deraiază conversațiile în stil mare, și foarte puțină speranță mi-a mai rămas că o sa pot spune și eu despre cineva: „Ăsta-i francezu’ mieu!” á la Izidor în Gadjo Dilo.

Țin să vă anunț că o lună-i destul ca brânzeturile să devină o banalitate, iar cu croissantele și baghetele nici n-am reușit să leg o prietenie profundă, spre marea tristețe a tuturor celor care, citind aceste rânduri, s-ar culca în seara asta într-un pat așternut din croissante. (Și încă unde-s pateurile de gâscă, mon Dieu!) Ultimele două săptămâni nici măcar n-am vizitat nimic, să arunce prima piatră cel care n-a simțit după o săptămână de muncă de 50 de ore  dorința irezistibilă de a-și petrece weekendurile făcând nimic, acasă, în pijamale. Ia să văd.

Școala îmi oferă în continuare destule emoții, mă confruntă cu provocări din ce în ce mai elaborate, iar mulțumită deraiajului în stil mare amintit mai sus, de multe ori trebuie să refac ce abia am reușit să fac și la prima încercare. Din înțepeneala de la început trec acum într-o amorțeală de mijloc, dar mușchii spiritului mi-i supun unui antrenament riguros sub forma menținerii credinței în ideea că da, untul va fi bătut.
