Eugenics in the art
 |
| Gert Germeraad shows his last portraits. |
"On Racial Biology" (Eugenics) are based upon pictures from the Swedish Institute of Racial Biology in Uppsala (1921-1958) - we see a number of portraits of people who were victims of Herman Lundborg and other eugenicists. Germeraad's work is a way to restore the dignity and identity of these people.

Nelson's ship
Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle by Yinka Shonibare. A huge 'poetic' translation for the 4th plinth on Trafalgar Square.
Absurd. On this photograph also on Trafalgar Square, 8 photographers excluding me, taking a snap of two pigeons as if they were film stars. They were not a group but rather one person started attracting the other photographer ans so on.

30 works in 30 days
Demián Ortega takes The Curve of the Barbican by surprise. 30 works made on a selection of news in the month September 2010. He selected and reacted to the newspaper news with one installation or sculpture per day.
The chairs photo comes from the facebook page of the Barbican as half way the exhibition I was asked not to take photographs. Why not?

| Wim Delvoye |
 |
| Betsabeé Romero |
Without doubt Betsabee Romero has been working for far longer with the engraved tires than Wim Delvoye, but still none of them steal my heart. They both work also with tattoos so: does it makes them at least 'art soul mates'?

On the female
Hans Bellmer vs Louise Bourgeois at Gemeente Museum in The Hague.
Until 16 januari 2011
I went to the Gemeente Museum open to change my perception on Louise Bourgeois' art. I tried but I still do not feel it in my heart. I can not see what other people see in her work. I tried and I failed. The metal sculpture from the invitation and the one here above are those I liked.
On the other hand I found Hans Bellmer's work more intriguing and suggestive.
I think it was good idea to show both artists together but I wonder if theoretically they had common grounds.

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.
