los abrazos rotos

here is the father complex, all the antiarchitypes of fathers. a son being gay is cast out from his father, although he is also gay.the lover of this father gets involved with the second father who does not know that he also is a father. so his son also grows up thinking he does not know his father although he spends every day with him.And there is the loved father who is suffering a deadly cancer, the only father being close to an architype - at least he has a daughter who even goes back to being a prostitute to help him.

another story with all the apparent features of almodovar, however is not satisfactory as his old movies.

Grizzly Bear

Grizzly Bear goes down to fun corners of small experimentalization with its 3rd Album Veckatimest. Although, Two Weeks reminds me of a car commercial showing a sporty shiny car gradually going by the cliffs and although it made me check whether the song is used in a car commercial or not, it does have a moving sound with jumping piano chords and contemplating vocals.

The album stands a step ahead of others in adding a bit of crisp electro beats and genre mixtures to it. Definitely makes their music more tasteful..

François and the Atlas Mountains

françois. discovered the "one voice in the noise". the progressive piano melodies supported by Arcade Fire-like rhythms. definitely one to watch for.

Chagall in Pera

Chagall stands out with his imagination and the love he genuinely spreads onto his each canvas. He refuses to join any movement in particular, especially not to the Surrealist, not totally abondoning them either. Therefore his work shows realistic scenes with surrealist touches. Technically, he enjoyed the mixture of many tools; oil, ink, water.. all join to make up the bright and colorful paintings. He says himself that he "works in whatever medium likes (him) at the moment." He is not bounded by only paintings but has many works in book illustrations,such as for LaFontaine, and church glassworks as well.As seen from this painting, he is fond of using symbols such as a rooster, a sign of fertility.

The exhibition in Pera is not satisfying fully as textures in black ink make up most of the space. Only a small number of his colorful works are on display.

"In our life there is a single color which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love" he says and he makes this emotion clear with his pretty faces he draws and the colors he uses.

how to incorporate art into every day life of every walking citizen. how to lower the barrier of art and offer an alternative to the mediocrity.

dada

'you are always looking for already-felt emotions, just as you liketo get an old pair of trousers back from the cleaners, which seem new when you dont look too closely. Artists are cleaners, dont let yourself be taken in by them.True modern works of art are made not by artists but quite simply by men.' Picabia wrote in his letter, marking the beginning of Dada.
