MODERN ART… I DON’T LIVE IN THE RIGHT TIME
Posted March 20, 2009 by ClocloCategories: Everyday life, Welcome in my brain ahaha
One of my friends recently wrote to me:
“We went as a school to the Tate Modern art museum in London yesterday, which was very interesting. I must admit, I left feeling quite unartistic. How someone can call a stack of bricks or a canvas painted gray (with ONE white dot!) art is beyond me. This is why I write, I suppose. “
Piece of wisdom to which I replied:
“I TOTALLY agreed when i read your description about the modern art museum… I myself went to such a museum when I was but a little girl. I remember staring at a guy who gave us a conference about a white canvas with a red dot in the center… at that moment, I decided that either I could after all become an artist and make a lot of money with but a dust of imagination… or I should divorce with modern art once and for all… which I did straight away and never went in such a place again
HOW CAN A CORPSE BE EXQUISITE?

I’m asking you. And yet, “exquisite corpse” or “cadavre exquis” in French, is the name of a technique which was invented by Surrealists in 1925. It is based on an old parlour game in which players write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution. But the best is to come. Hear this! This technique can be -and has been- applied to countless other forms of art like painting, drawing, collage, photography, writing books or even cinematography. Needless to say, a wide horizon of possibilities is open to us!
Here are a few examples:

Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor were unforgettable in this movie, weren’t they? Here is a part of the script when Don Lockwood practises his speech with a teacher.
Sinful Caesar sipped his snifter,
seized his knees and sneezed.
-Marvelous.
-Wonderful.
Here is a good one.
”Chester chooses chestnuts,
cheddar cheese with chewy chives.
He chews them and he chooses them.
He chooses them and he chews them. . .
. . .those chestnuts, cheddar cheese
and chives in cheery, charming chunks. ”
-Wonderful! Do another one.
-Thank you.
”Moses supposes his toeses
are roses. . .
. . .but Moses supposes erroneously.
Moses, he knowses
his toeses aren’t roses. . .
. . .as Moses supposes his toeses to be. ”
”Moses supposes his toeses are roses,
but Moses supposes erroneously. ”
But Moses, he knowses
his toes aren’t roses. . .
. . .as Moses supposes his toeses to be.
Moses supposes his toeses are roses,
but Moses supposes erroneously.
A mose is a mose.
A rose is a rose.
A toes is a toes.

LETTER TO UNCLE SAM AND OUR AMERICAN COUSINS
Posted January 24, 2009 by ClocloCategories: Everyday life, Welcome in my brain ahaha
Tags: elections, obama, president, usa

It’s been a little while I’ve wanted to write to you about these elections, forgive me for not doing so earlier.
A little while ago, the American people, this colorful melting-pot of various languages and cultures, have elected their president. Once again, one could see what an influence the USA have on the world as every nations had their eyes turned toward the event. It was literally on every tongue, and I was amazed to discover that polls were held on internet to feel the general opinion toward the next american president. Rarely before has a political event caused so much enthusiasm. John Kennedy himself is forgotten. I even frowned in surprise at the radio speaker’s comment that everybody seemed to find himself in Obama. Interesting… My family and I have followed the American elections as much as possible with the information that we get in France, which is not much nor very reliable. But every evening saw us praying for the future of a government and a country which has so much influence in the world. I remember many of you voicing to me their concerns about the candidates or how to make the right choice and select the man who would carry on God’s plans… Well I just wanted to tell you that we prayed along with you; and as I remember your questions, I just felt that whatever man was chosen, the world was really in God’s hands. He did know which man was going to be elected didn’t he? Sometimes, we hate the fact that people say one thing, yet have different motives. People who pay ridiculous amounts of money to make TV spots which stain the reputation of the other. How can we chose or know or trust in that case??? But I think asking God to hold everything in his hands and trusting him for the future is really an answer and enables him to take control of things. I’ve seen him in my life but I know it’s true for way bigger things
So well, keep being an example and a blessing for the rest of the nations
WHY ? WHY ? WHY ?
