Yeah, the sirens. Just like mermaids only less safe for work because of the bottom part.

	For some, Hieronymus Bosch is the original heavy-metal artist. For others, he was member of a secret, heretical sect of nudists. For Leonardo DiCaprio, Bosch was the perfect gift for Pope Francis, presenting His Holiness with TASCHEN’s Hieronymus Bosch monograph at a private audience at the Vatican on January 28.

For some, Hieronymus Bosch is the original heavy-metal artist. For others, he was member of a secret, heretical sect of nudists. For Leonardo DiCaprio, Bosch was the perfect gift for Pope Francis, presenting His Holiness with TASCHEN’s Hieronymus Bosch monograph at a private audience at the Vatican on January 28.

This fresh edition, based on the XL version gifted by DiCaprio, presents the complete oeuvre of this mysterious medieval artist who left almost no traces of his own life but in his pictorial world holds viewers in timeless thrall.

Coinciding with a major exhibit at the Het Noordbrabants Museum in the Netherlands, the book explores Bosch’s staggering compositional scope and most bizarre and intricate inventions through full-page reproductions, abundant details, and a fold-out spread drawn from The Last Judgement.

With guidance from art historian and Bosch expert Stefan Fischer, we uncover the many compelling elements that populate each painting, from hybrid creatures of man and beast to a pictorial use of proverbs and idioms. Particular attention is given to Bosch’s most famous work, the mesmerizing, terrifying triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights.

From the
sublime to
the surreal

Inventive Polish-born artist challenges the ways naked body is depicted and perceived in contemporary photography. Her sexually charged series invite the viewer to the world of expression, passion and sensuality.

Do you think the spread of porn imagery has changed the way people perceive nudes in art?

There is a big difference between art and pornography. Pornography has no artistic merit and the focus is uninvolving. It portrays sexual subject matter for the purpose of sexual arousal to provide instant gratification. Unlike pornography, sex in art stirs other emotions and can carry meanings and messages that are often not about sex itself. I do feel that the adult industries, which are now so highly available to any viewer, can numb the perception of intimacy.

How elaborate is the preparation for the shoot?

There isn’t much preparation other than picking the location for the shoot and packing the equipment. Most of my images I envision in my mind. I sometimes gather some inspiration imagery of poses cut from different sources to make it more-simple for my models to visualize and achieve the pose. I shoot very fast and I often use one to two polaroids per image. If it’s an outdoor shoot then the majority of time is spent getting to locations and back. It always feels like a day trip rather than a photo shoot.

How do your models react when you approach them with ideas for the photograph?

My models are my artist friends. They are enthusiastic about my work so they are eager to be a part of my vision.

Have you ever exhibited in Poland? If yes, what was the reaction to your nudes?

I don’t think of my work as nudes. I don’t ever hear of Lucian Freud’s work being categorized in this restrained matter. It seems like a sluggish description. My work was only exhibited few times in Poland. The reaction I got was very complementary.

Do you think your work is best understood in a museum setting or in privacy? In other words would you, like Fragonard, choose for the images to glimmer in the boudoir rather then shine at the Academy?

My work has a place in both venues. It is great to be able to view the same artwork in different spaces and see how perhaps different it might feel. No reason to limit yourself.

Pussy Riot Parodies Russian Law Enforcement in New Anti-Corruption Music Video

Still from Pussy Riot’s CHAIKA, 2016.

Simon Shuster reports at Time that the Russian collective Pussy Riot have released a new music video today in collaboration with David Sitek of the American band TV on the Radio, addressing corruption in President Vladimir Putin’s government. The video was shot in and around Moscow in locations such as a Soviet-era banquet hall where one of the group’s co-founders, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, and a crew of back-up dancers are dressed up in the blue uniforms of Russian prosecutors, which fooled the landlords of the venue into believing that a law enforcement convention was in progress. Their suspicions about the group’s intentions were raised, though, by a scene’s incorporation of a golden loaf of bread, which was a symbol of corruption in the former Soviet Union. The group also shot torture scenes in a former jail often used as a set for TV dramas.
A primary target of the video is prosecutor general Yuri Chaika, for whom the song is named, and who has faced controversy and ridicule in the past few months after Russia’s anti-corruption campaigner, Alexei Navalny, published an investigation accusing Chaika and his two sons of financially benefiting through personal ties with a notorious Russsian criminal gang. Tolokonnikova, addressing Chaika, says in the song “Be humble, learn to obey… You wanna get away with murder? Be loyal to your boss,” as a large portrait of Putin hangs behind her and the golden loaf sits on a desk in front of her.

Rotterdam Museum Will Begin Renting Public Space to Private Collectors

Adicionar legenda

A rendering of the Public Art Depot's interior space.

Rotterdam’s Museum Boijmans van Beuningen will rent out 10 percent of its new Public Art Depot—an open art storage facility—to private collectors. The Rotterdam City Council voted in favor of constructing the reflective, bowl-shaped depot in the fall of 2015. Designed by architecture firm MVRDV, the almost $60 million facility is expected to open in 2018.

According to the Art Newspaper’s Gareth Harris, the director of the museum, Sjarel Ex, said he has already spoken to more than sixty European collectors, and six are on board. To be considered, all collectors must be approved by the museum staff and commit to storing their work in the space for a minimum of five years.

Storage space at the depot will be priced between $400 and $450 per square meter, but the museum is offering more amenities. At an extra cost, the museum will provide collection management services including the facilitation of loans and generation of condition reports. Upon the individual collector’s approval, visitors to the storage facility will be allowed to view their works.

Besides viewing private collections, Ex said “for the first time, anywhere in the world, a museum’s entire collection will be accessible to the public.” Currently, the museum’s galleries are only capable of displaying 7 percent of its collection at one time. The new depot will also possibly feature a freeport.

Twenty-two million dollars of funding for the project is coming from the social investment fund Stichting De Verre Bergen while another almost $3 million will be provided by the city and the rest will come from admission and the collector’s rental fees.

Music video for Pussy Riot’s Chaika, 2016

yes it looks like number one but...

Agora que nos fartamos de descobrir pinturas debaixo de outras pinturas (graças às novas tecnologias) achamos que seria interessante ver como estão as paredes do armazém do novo espaço, tendo em conta que o teto tem manchas no local... e no chão também há humidade.

O facto de haver nas boas galerias de arte madeira a forrar as paredes é prático para as mudanças de exposições... os pregos entram na madeira sem grande problema.

Mas esta madeira pode estar a esconder os problemas de infiltrações de água... por isso abrimos uma secção da madeira e deparamos com esta bela instalação/pintura/alto relevo/cultivo de musgos!

Só falta assinar e colocar no mercado secundário para ficarmos ricos!! Viva!

Quem dá mais?!
