Det var en af det 20. århundredes mest uforglemmelige scener: To unge drenge, to prinser, der gik bag deres mors kiste, mens verden så til i sorg – og rædsel. Da Diana, prinsessen af Wales, blev begravet, undrede millioner af mennesker sig over, hvad prinserne mon tænkte og følte – og hvordan deres liv ville forme sig fremover. Her kommer endelig Harrys historie.

Som mange andre sikkert tænkte, da Prins Harrys bog Spare udkom, så tænkte jeg, at hvis han og hans kone Meghan virkelig er så træt af at være i medierne, så skulle de måske lade være med hele tiden at gøre så voldsomt opmærksom på sig selv. Men efter at have læst Spare eller Reserven, som den hedder på dansk, så forstår jeg godt behovet for at få sat tingene på plads.

Det er virkelig noget af en øjenåbner det her. Prins Harry fortæller åbenhjertigt om sin opvækst, hvoraf en del er blevet brugt på forskellige kostskoler langt væk hjemmefra. Selv efter hans mors pludselig død er det her han skal bearbejde sin sorg for den engelske måde at håndtere den slags på læner sig op af frasen “keep calm and carry on”. Og hvor vi andre lever vores liv udenfor mediernes bevågenhed så er det ikke en luksus Harry har haft. Og som vi andre har set det, så holdt mediernes løfter om at droppe papparazzifotografer efter Prinsesse Dianas tragiske død kun ganske kortvarigt. Siden da er det kun blevet værre og Reserven tager os ind i midten af det helvede.

Harry fortæller også om livet bag de kongelige mure. Om forholdet til nu afdøde Dronning Elizabeth, Harrys bror Kronprins William og ikke mindst hans far Charles, der nu er Storbritaniens konge. Harry fortæller åbent om sin tid i militæret og de forskellige kærester han har haft. Helt tæt kommer vi også på hans møde med Meghan Markle og deres forhold. Det er til tider brutalt, hylende morsomt, hjerteknusende, smukt og rørende.

Hvis man kan læse denne bog uden at få enorm sympati for det Prins Harry har været igennem, så fejler man helt ærlig noget.

Wat?   Zelfportret (1615-1618), Het vertrek van een hoogwaardigheidsbekleder uit Middelburg (1615), De winter (1614), De winter (1625) met detail, Boerenvastenavond (ca. 1625) met detail, De Schilder-winckel (1623), Zeeuwsche Nachtegael (1623), Frederik V, keurvorst van de palts, koning van Bohemen, en zijn echtgenote Elizabeth Stuart te paard (1626) en ‘Wat maeckme[n] al om gelt!’ (1631) door Adriaen van de velde

Waar?   Tentoonstelling De omgekeerde wereld van Adriaen van de Venne in het Zeeuws Museum, Middelburg

Wanneer?   27 december 2023

Adriaen van de Venne (1590-1662) is voor veel mensen een onbekende kunstenaar. Zelf kende ik voor het zien van de tentoonstelling in het Zeeuws museum één werk van hem: De zielenvisserij. In dat schilderij wordt weergegeven hoe protestanten en katholieken proberen de meeste zieltjes op te vissen. Dit schilderij ontbreekt helaas op deze expositie, maar wat er wél hangt is ook zeker de moeite waard en laat zien hoe veelzijdige Van de Venne was. Hij was schilder, dichter en ontwerper van prenten en boekillustraties.

Het vertrek van een hoogwaardigheidsbekleder uit Middelburg toont waarschijnlijk het vertrek van de graaf van Nothingham, Charles Howard, opperbevelhebber van de Engelse vloot tegen de Spaanse Armada. Ook de Zeeuws-Hollandse vloot had aan deze strijd deelgenomen. Op de achtergrond zien we een fraai panorama van de stad Middelburg met onder meer het stadhuis en de Nieuwe Kerk.

Van de Venne schilderde vaak de seizoenen in de vorm van landschappen. Soms als tweetal van alleen zomer en winter, soms als serie van alle vier seizoenen. Niet zozeer de seizoensgebonden activiteiten staan bij Van de Venne centraal, maar aanvankelijk vooral het vermaak van de elite en later met name de onhebbelijkheden van het gewone volk.  De titel van de Middelburgse expositie is ontleend aan het feit dat de kunstenaar in veel van zijn werk laat zien hoe het niet hoort.

Op Boerenvastenavond trekt een carnavaleske optocht door het dorp. Rechts op de voorgrond gaan een aantal dorpsbewoners met elkaar op de vuist. Zowel Boerenvastenavond als Winter tonen een poepende man, met op enige afstand een hond die hetzelfde zit te doen. Het gedrag van de mens lijkt niet veel beter dan dat van een simpel dier.

Vanaf 1618 gaat Adriaen nauwer samenwerken met zijn broer Jan, die zich als prentverkoper in Middelburg heeft gevestigd. In 1618 vestigt Jan een uitgeverij, drukkerij en kunsthandel aan de Korte Burg, die bekend wordt onder de naam Schildery-winckel. De meeste ontwerpen voor prenten en boekillustraties worden door Adriaen aangeleverd. In 1623 neemt Jan een drukpers in gebruik, met als eerste publicatie de dichtbundel Zeeuwsche Nachtegaal. Deze bundel is een samenwerking tussen Zeeuwse dichters met als doel Zeeland cultureel op de kaart te zetten. Naast alle illustraties levert Adriaen ook een gedicht waarin de innige relatie tussen schilder- en dichtkunst centraal staat.

Na zijn vertrek naar Den Haag gaat Adriaen van de Venne zich specialiseren in het gebruik van de grisailletechniek: het schilderen in nuances van één kleur. Zelden is deze techniek eerder gebruikt voor op zichzelf staande schilderijen. Van de Venne doet dit wel, bijvoorbeeld in het portret van Frederik V en Elizabeth Stuart te paard. Maar hij maakt ook veel ‘grauwtjes’, zoals de grisailles genoemd worden, met als hoofdonderwerp boeren of bedelaars, die zich niet gedragen zoals het hoort. Op ‘Wat maeckme[n] al om gelt!’ zien we een boer die op het punt staat een bordeel binnen te gaan. Het opschrift slaat op de vrouw achter het venster, die zichzelf verkoopt voor geld. In het bordeel zal de boer beroofd worden van zijn geld, zodat hij al het geld dat hij met zijn waren in de stad heeft verdiend, weer verliest. Moraal: hou je seksuele lusten in bedwang.

6 Aralık 2023 Perfumerias Avenida ÇBK Mersin Maçı

*Wurzburg Şehir Salonu'nda saat 22:30'da başlayacak olan Kadınlar EuroLeague Normal Sezon B Grubu 8. maçı. Grubun ikinci yarısına kritik ve zorlu İspanya deplasmanında başlıyoruz. Yeniden ikinci sıra için kazanalım inşallah. Yürekten başarılar dileriz Mersin'e.

*Kadınlar EuroLeague YouTube kanalından naklen yayınlanacak olan maç.

*İlk periyodun sonunda ev sahibi ekip 14-8 önde. Tutuk bir başlangıç geldi. Avenida da bunu kullanarak 6 sayılık farkı yakaladı.

*Devreyi 30-24 geride bitiriyoruz. Tablo çok daha vahim olabilirdi. Ev sahibi ekip 30-13 ile 17 sayılık fark yakalamıştı. Ardından temsilcimiz 11 sayılık müthiş seriyle bu dilimi noktaladı ve farkı da 6'ya indirdi. Keşke hiç soğumasak ama umalım ki bu rüzgarı koruyabiliriz.

*Üçüncü çeyrek 46-34 onların lehine. 16-10 çeyrek sonucu ile yanıtsız kaldık ve hep geriden takip ettik. Son bölüm öncesi işler zorlaştı.

*67-56 kaybettik. Yine çözümsüz kaldık ve bir türlü olduramadığımız bu geceyi noktaladık. 3. yenilgimiz oldu ve Avenida iki maçı da aldığı için ikili averajı garantileyerek üstümüze yükseldi. Tabi bitiş çizgisine daha var ve takılmalarını bekleyeceğiz. Perfumerias Avenida'da Sika Kone 19 sayı - 10 ribaund ile ikili çifte katkısı verdi. Laura Gil 13 sayı kaydetti. ÇBK Mersin'de ise Elizabeth Williams'ın 15 sayı - 11 ribaundluk ikili çiftesi yetmedi. Asena Yalçın 13 sayı üretti.

Why didn't the dutch King wear his uniform during the funeral of Queen Elizabeth?

Because he is not allowed to.

In contrary to many other nations, the Dutch King is not in the military, nor does he hold any rank. Dutch law prohibits the Head of State or any member of the Government from holding a military rank or function.

But why do I see the king in uniform then sometimes? you may ask. Well, for ceremonial military things, he gets an exemption (I think the minister has to give it every time). But it's just for looks. If you look carefully, he doesn't wear any rank symbols.

They created a separate symbol for him, it's the royal sword, scepter and orb. see for more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_insignia

So the Dutch King didn't wear a uniform because it was not a Dutch military ceremonial event for which he had gotten permission to wear a uniform for.

Could he have asked anyway, and gotten permission? maybe. I do not know what the instructions on the invitation from the Brits were regarding dress and/or uniform.

Luca Yupanqui - Conversations - remixes of that infamous baby-in-utero album

Last year Sacred Bones released the groundbreaking album "Sounds of the Unborn,'' created by Psychic Ills bassist Elizabeth Hart and Lee Scratch Perry collaborator Iván Diaz Mathé by connecting biosonic MIDI technology to Elizabeth ́s then pregnant body. The soundscapes that emerged from this recording technique tell the story of an unexplored territory, a land of unveiled harmonies. The album received widespread attention and was featured in NPR, the Guardian and Audiofemme among others. Conversations is an album featuring remixes participants including electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani, new age legend Laraaji, fan favorites Peaking Lights, landscape innovator Hiro Kone and up and coming harpist Nailah Hunter, among others.

A couple of work in progress sketchbook pages.

Juxtaposing the work of John Singer Sargent, Emma Hopkins is a modern portrait artist, fascinated by the themes of Atonomy, psychology and mortality. She uses many materials, creating multiple interpretations of her sitters in order to paint them “from the inside out”. Her artwork progresses from abstract, surrealist pieces to sculptural and detailed oil paintings. I particularly love Hopkins ability to balance hyper-realism with expressive abstract elements, producing a sense of freedom and expression which is able to convey narrative. Similarly, Hopkins’ intelligent use of colour allows the viewer to be drawn into her pieces and set the tone for each painting, varying from bold, vibrant reds, to monochromatic works which convey a more somber sentiment. Moving forward with this project, I am particularly excited to begin experimenting with a more expressive style and to create a plan for my first photo shoot which will form the basis of many of these experimental and final pieces.

The second double page spread is based on my investigation of the Seven Deadly Sins, exploring its depiction in art through time and its Christian roots. Heronymous Bosch is one of the earliest painters to work with the idea of the sins, dating back to 1500. His painting used real life scenes in order to represent them: portraying drunkards, dogs fighting over a bone, a crooked judge and flirtatious daughters, to name a few. He also incorporated 4 outer circles which represent hell. August’s Rodin’s sculpture ‘The Kiss’, created in 1882 was based on Francia De Rimini, damned to hell after commuting adultery. The modern artist Elizabeth Koning, staged a photograph depicting envy. Her work appears more poetic and subtle than the earlier examples, yet entirely visible through the sickly green tint of the image and the steady gaze and ethereal ambience of the main figure. In addition to researching this idea, I began to create a preliminary plan for my photo shoot, deciding to focus on the sin(s) that my subject feels most guilty of. I am particularly interested in incorporating Hopkins’ use of colour which may reinforce the idea of the separate colours associated with each sin, this presents an opportunity to create some interesting and unique images.

After researching different photographers from Europe, three stood out to me. Zuzu Valla is a European photographer from Slovakia, but lived in England with her family. Her work consists mostly of photos of women with them being the subject. They all consist of a close up composition of a woman, sometimes two women, that fills the majority of the frame. The use of light in each photograph is intentional to emphasize the beauty of the woman in the picture. With some photos, there is just enough light to see the outline of the woman’s facial features for the viewer to be able to recognize that a person is there, while with others, the light brings out the red lipstick the woman might be wearing or it emphasizes the side of the woman’s face a strip of bright light. A collection that stood out to me is her “In the Bath” collection that is full of photos of women in murky bath water with flowers surrounding them. With each of the photos, it is evident the emotion that each subject portrays and how raw and real each is. It draws the viewer in to wonder “why?” with so many of the photos.

Elizabeth Koning is a photographer who traveled all around Europe and used her photography to take the viewer on a journey and to retell the stories of art history. In her “La Pappilion” collection, I found it interesting that she used a woman as the subject but did not use the light to her advantage to emphasize the features of the woman. In the last three photos of the collection, Koning must have used photoshop to place multiple butterflies onto the photos, and at times over the face of the subject. After seeing those pictures for the first time, I was confused as to why she would take a beautiful picture of a woman sitting on the beach with a basket and put butterflies to cover it and distract the viewer from the subject, but obviously Konging had some intention with doing so.

Guillaume d´Hubert is a photographer who focuses more on black and white photography. A collection of his that immediately drew my eye was his “Black Crop” collection. It looks as though he took black and white photographs that used one human subject per picture and placed circles over different parts of their bodies and made some circles a slightly underexposed black and white, while some other circles were very overexposed and mostly white with just enough dark grey for the viewer to see the silhouette of the subject. His use of the circles in this collection made each picture more interesting for the viewer. While each subject is doing a abstract pose, the use of the circles draws the viewer’s eyes all over the photograph. I looked through this collection for a long time and every time I would go back to look at it again, I would see something I didn’t see before.

Overall, with photographing this week, I found it interesting to adjust all the setting with the shutter speed and ISO in order to get the type of photograph I was picturing in my mind. I went into the city with a few friends and it was fun to find spots where the light was light enough for the pictures of to develop the right way and to get a good composition with some parts of the photo being still and the others moving (i.e. cars going by). Some difficulties I had were getting the right settings on my camera. I am definitely still learning when it comes to manually changing the settings to the right thing for what I’m shooting at, but it has slowly gotten easier. When photographing this time, I found myself much more aware of the composition of the photo and was more particular with what should be in each frame.
