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.

Orozco at the Tate

My only photo of the exhibition.

This is the photo I have of Gabriel Orozo's exhibition at the Tate Modern. It is not allowed to take photographs at the museum. It is always frustrating not been able to take some pics home. 
The work that impressed me the most is the one with the intriguing obituaries taken from the newspaper. The exhibition has a few more weeks to go.

Temporary (empty) museum

Stedelijk Museum 

The Temporary Stedelijk until 9 January 2011.

Interesting works mixed with empty rooms, probably to make us feel "the space" of the renovated museum. Well, I don't now if I need that. I feel I know the museum well, the changes are not so radical on how it was, and all that waiting... Just go ahead and open it, have exhibitions and let us visit it.

Yael Bartana

Vintage posters, normally they were next to the cafe.

Karel Appel, the cafe is probably the biggest change of all.

Lawrence Weiner

Cleaning the finger prints.

Ooops, even with the guards next to it there was an accident.

Roman Ondak,

I thought I could be a part of the work, but I was not allowed to mark my height and name, so I only took the photo.

The perspective of David Schnell

David Schnell exhibition at Gem in The Hague until 7/11/2010

I was probably expecting more by looking at the big advertisement outside the museum. When I finally saw the exhibition I was a bit disappointed, the magnificence of that work was only present in a few more paintings of the exhibition. The other works were less related to perspective and straight lines and more nature and melodic combination of colors. And sorry, I didn't photograph those works.


The first and last photograph come from Arts in America.

Porcelain cat walk.

Quiet (Still)
Exhibition of the Anne-Marie van Sprang's small sculptures at Museum Beelden aan Zee.
It is in all ways a fragile show, and it only attracts each visitor more to do the prohibited: to touch the 15 cm tall, thin and super white human porcelain figures.
I wonder, why is the exhibition described as "installation"?

Eye contact.

The artist Anne-Marie van Sprang.

The opening seemed to me longer than normal, especially when you don't have a chair or you have little time to visit it as it was my case. There were many more visitors than space.

Even with a chair it seemed a long wait for this gentleman.

The tenth Jan Six

Wim Pijbes attracted again hundreds of people to the Rijksmuseum just to see one painting:
The portrait of Jan Six by Rembrant. This warm portrait, still in hands of the original Six family , is on loan for 12 weeks at the very reduced but very popular national museum in Amsterdam.

Always a good reason to visit the museum.

Soulages's black.

I don't know if it the museum of Mexico City spent a lot of money on advertisement together with the renovation of the museum itself (which is by the way one of the oldest houses in the city), or is one of the best exhibitions in Mexico City now but it seems that everybody knows about the exhibition of the French, all black paintings', artist Pierre Soulages at the Museo de la Ciudad de Mexico.

When I was there there was a lot of public and it seemed they were enjoying it fully in some kind of religiously way. The work was curated perfectly, fitting the very old and large white walls of the building originally known as Palacio de los Condes de Santiago de Calimaya.

I can not show you how well it was hanging as it was strictly prohibited to take pictures. Am I going to steel his black?

The second patio.

There were other exhibitions like Drawn, with 'street' drawing.


and the museum's collection with nostalgic images of the city with its old channels and no high buildings:

Poor art in Mexico

For the first time in Mexico quite a large and rich exhibition of Arte povera in Muac.
Until 30 October 2010, later to travel to other countries.
