May 27) ›Having a Smoke (with the art work)‹…

…this is called (another contribution to the Biennale at Home)…

…since I have been observing that this work of art is not only a particularly popular ›checking my e-mails stop‹, but also a particularly popular ›smoke break art work‹ (also, I guess, a good spot for private investigators, only pretending to have ›a smoke with the art work‹).

May 14) My Contribution to the Biennale (at Home):

Some actors on stage had been puzzled at first that only plants had come to their performance…

…but after a while they got used to it, and after the performance, while the plants were applauding (well, some of them)
one actor even did take a picture of the unusual audience.
Realizing then, but only then, at home, that the plants had not come all alone at all, since now he could also spot (but only now)…
a bird-house that also had been following, with its inhabitants, the rather flawed performance (had there been other prompters he had not even been aware of?).

April 17) Our Attempt to Re-enact a Painting

…was rather destined to fail, due to the bad weather. Still we might learn something about the spatial organization of one of the lovliest Van Gogh paintings, namely Tree Trunks in the Grass (kept at Otterlo), with its mighty trunks, the dandelions, the meadow, and the pathway in the background (or in our case: tramway tracks), equally important as to the composition as the trunks are. And of course the paths of color, contributing also to the organization of this little, and ever threatened paradise, inspiring gracious flights of the mind, with our eyes being led by the colors like an insect might be drawn to its feed crop.

January 31, 2015) Bright Blue

What if the grey of winter turns to be almost unbearable? Why not, actually, turn to the 2012 Miami novel Back to Blood by journalist/writer Tom Wolfe? The author, known for being obsessed with all kinds of phenomena that have to do with status (including all kind of lights, especially also artificial lights), does speak much of light in this very novel, and of all kinds of light, and of the Miami sky. And on page 323 I find him speaking of a »bright blue sky«.
The German translation, interestingly, makes of »bright blue« »grellblau«, and this is an interesting and not all too often used designation of color, to be found rather in association with clothes, and especially with ties. ›Grellblau‹ is about the intensity of light, and one might wonder, in days of all too grey winter: how to represent color intensity, how to represent bright blue, in painting, but also on our screens (picture above: sentrymedicalgroup.org) And how bright do we get to appear our color blue, not to forget our bright blue tie, on screen?
