Pipilotti Rist makes me smile, again

I am so happy I had a second visit to Pipilotti Rist exhibition at the Hayward Gallery. I saw more things that I didn't see the first time like this hole in the wall where you can see this lovely video-sculpture made of underware from her family members.
There were more surprises and effects that I have not noticed. She remind me of my childhood years and made me conscious of how I play sometimes with light, shadow and my hands in the mornings when I don't want to stand up from bed.
Until 8th of January 2012.

Haroon Mirza makes music

Nice art afternoon with Michiel Morel and Marion de Bruin at Camden Arts Centre. I took this photo at Haroon Mirza's exhibition briefly before we were prohibited to take photos as it is in most art galleries and museums in London.

Gustav Metzger talking at Cubitt

The artist Gustav Metzger (born 1926) could have not agreed better with TJ Demos at Cubitt Gallery London last week. Interesting discussion on Project Stockholm, energy, ecology and religion. 
When an artist have always known what he wants, that in huge contrast with his fragile appearance.

One year later, Marisela Escobedo

I painted this portrait of activist Marisela Escobedo at the beginning of 2011. Today one year after being killed there is news that her killer has been found.
I thought then that the press and people's attention and indignation was going to help stop the killings. But no, human right activists are now even a bigger target than one year ago. Let's not forget.
