A high-contrast, turquoise-on-black stylized portrait of a person wearing round goggles and a headband with two antenna-like rods ending in spheres. They wear a jacket with three stripes on the sleeves and hold a hand over their chest, where a small pixelated heart shape appears. The background is completely black, giving the figure a graphic, neon silhouette look.

Kiasma, Helsinki ~ with Igor @intima.bsky.social
A man and a woman take a selfie outside the Kiasma museum in Helsinki. Both wear winter jackets and colorful tinted glasses. The man has a bald head and turquoise lenses, and the woman wears a pink knit hat, a pastel plaid scarf, and pink lenses. Behind them, two large exhibition banners hang on the museum’s facade, one for Essi Kuokkanen and one for Sarah Lucas, in bright orange and yellow. The sky is clear and blue.

A woman's library, filled with men's words: the paradox of the Duchess Anna Amalia Library in Weimar / Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek.

📕 📘 📗 📙 📚 📓 📒
View of the historic Rococo Hall inside the Duchess Anna Amalia Library in Weimar. The room is grand and oval-shaped, lined with floor-to-ceiling shelves filled with antique books in faded leather bindings. The walls are painted pale blue with white stucco ornamentation and gilded gold accents on the railings, columns, and cornices. A curved upper gallery wraps around the room, supported by arches and balustrades decorated with intricate gold leaf. Marble busts of scholars and historical figures stand at intervals along the balcony. Above, a richly decorated ceiling features an oval skylight with painted artwork and sculpted flourishes. Soft natural light shines through tall arched windows, supplemented by hanging lantern-style lamps that add a warm glow. The overall atmosphere is solemn, elegant, and reverent — a sanctuary of knowledge preserved in exquisite 18th-century style.

Two people are sitting on the floor and working together on a large white cloth spread out in front of them. The cloth is covered with hand-stitched colorful lines and circles that resemble a map or network diagram, stitched in blue, orange, green, and red thread. The person on the left, wearing a white T-shirt and black shorts, has several tattoos on their arms and legs and is kneeling while carefully placing something on the fabric. The person on the right, in a light blue T-shirt and denim shorts, is also focused on attaching items to the cloth. Around them, several small white objects with blue straps are placed on the map.

Spent a few days in Hamburg for the festival at Kampnagel. Felt so good to be back home again.
Evening scene at the Kampnagel International Summer Festival in Hamburg.

With doctoral students after the lecture. 🌬️ Early spring in Venice just hits different – a bit of winter's chill still hanging around, but you can already feel the promise of new beginnings in the air.
A group of eleven people is gathered in an outdoor courtyard with stone pavement. They are standing in front of a rustic pink building with tall windows, framed by two leafless trees. The group is diverse in age and style, wearing a mix of casual and stylish clothing, with some donning scarves, hats, and jackets. Many are smiling and posing closely together, reflecting a warm and friendly atmosphere. One person is crouching in the front while others stand behind them. The yellow tote bag and bright blue skirt add pops of color to the otherwise muted background. A narrow Venetian canal winds through historic buildings with warm-toned facades and green shutters. Small boats, some covered with blue tarps, line the canal. A red fire hydrant stands on the right side of the stone walkway. In the distance, a small arched bridge crosses the canal. The calm water reflects the architecture and the soft overcast sky, creating a serene and picturesque scene. Venetian canal winds through buildings with warm-toned facades.

The church of Santa Maria della Vittoria was just around the corner from my hotel, so I popped in to say hi to Teresa of Ávila, just to check if she's still in ecstasy. 💥

And thanks to everyone who came to my book event in Rome yesterday, it was such a good time!
phd.uniroma1.it/web/artist-a...
The sculpture over the altar shows Saint Teresa of Ávila, a Spanish Carmelite nun (1515–1582), swooning in a state of religious ecstasy, while an angel holding a spear stands over her, following her own account of a vision she had. A marble sculpture of an angel and a reclining woman, set against a dramatic backdrop of golden rays. The angel, with flowing hair and large wings, holds a golden arrow and looks down tenderly at the woman. The woman, draped in flowing robes, tilts her head back with an expression of ecstasy or surrender. The golden rays fan out behind them, creating a heavenly atmosphere. The detailed carving of the figures' faces, clothing, and posture captures a sense of movement and emotion. Location: The church of Santa Maria della Vittoria, Rome, Italy. Sculpture: Ecstasy of Saint Teresa by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, High Roman Baroque, 1652.

Ἐγρήγορει, ὦ τέχνη! ~ The Epidaurus Theater at the Sanctuary of Asklepios
A woman with shoulder-length dark hair, wearing black sunglasses, a dark green sweater, and black pants, stands in the center of the ancient Epidaurus Theater at the Sanctuary of Asklepios in Greece. She has both arms raised towards the sky, with an expression of triumph or theatrical performance. The sun shines brightly behind her, casting a dramatic shadow on the gravel ground, which resembles the silhouette of a bird with outstretched wings. The massive stone seating of the theater rises behind her, partially filled with visitors scattered throughout. The sky is a mix of bright blue and fluffy white clouds, adding depth and contrast to the scene. A low stone railing separates the person from the seating area, and a narrow path leads directly to where they are standing.

A group of people are participating in an interactive art installation or workshop in a spacious indoor setting with a modern, curved ceiling and a mezzanine with metal railings. The floor is light gray, and the walls are mostly white. Participants are engaged in various creative activities, sitting or standing on the floor, surrounded by an intricate web of strings, yarn, and paper materials. The strings crisscross the entire room, connecting people and objects, creating a chaotic but structured network. In the foreground, a woman with dark hair tied back is sitting cross-legged, wearing a black T-shirt with white text that reads "IN BLACK." She is weaving or manipulating the strings and papers around her. Next to her, another woman with long, wavy brown hair, wearing a dark green sweater and black pants, is also working with the materials, seated on the floor. There are magazines and newspapers scattered around them, with visible colorful images and text, though the specific words are not fully readable. To the right, a woman in a white T-shirt and blue jeans sits with her back to the camera, working on a project. Beside her, another person in black clothes is kneeling on the floor, using a wooden board, possibly for crafting. Dried flowers and small objects are connected to the strings. In the background, more participants are engaged in similar activities. A woman in a black tank top and jeans is standing near a stage-like area, twisting pieces of paper or fabric into the network of strings. Another woman with blonde hair, wearing a black vest, is also attaching materials to the structure. A man dressed in black stands near the staircase, observing the scene. The atmosphere suggests an artistic or community-based project focusing on connection and collaboration, with participants actively creating something together using unconventional materials.

www.mg-lj.si/en/exhibitio...

Curator: Igor Španjol
The image shows an art installation in a gallery, where a large textile artwork is hung on a white wall. The textile piece is an embroidered map, likely representing a city or region, with roads and rivers stitched onto a cream-colored fabric. The roads are embroidered in shades of brown and orange, while the rivers and water bodies are in blue. Various labels and annotations in red thread mark specific locations, streets, or landmarks. A small group of people is gathered around, observing the artwork. One woman in a camel-colored coat, carrying a black bag, stands in the foreground with her back to the camera. Another woman in dark clothing is engaged in conversation with a man, who has a short beard and is also dressed in dark clothing. On the right side of the artwork, there are two small white placards with text, likely providing information about the piece or the artist, though the text is too small to read in the image. The gallery space is minimalist, with white walls and wooden flooring, allowing the artwork to stand out prominently. A security camera is mounted on the ceiling, monitoring the exhibition space. The textile map is affixed to the wall with small black clips along the top edge.

Two people with light skin and medium-length hair are installing a large fabric artwork in a gallery space with white walls and a wooden floor. One person, wearing a black hoodie and dark pants, stands on a yellow wooden ladder, holding the fabric near the top. The other person, wearing a navy blue vest over a brown long-sleeved shirt and green cargo pants, stands on the floor, attaching or adjusting the fabric. The artwork is an off-white textile piece with embroidered and appliquéd designs resembling a map. The map features curving and intersecting lines in orange, green, blue, and red, forming a network of paths or roads. Some lines are solid, while others are dashed or zigzagged. Red embroidered text is scattered across the fabric, following the paths. The visible text includes "MAPPA" and other smaller inscriptions in red along various lines. Several fabric strips with red text hang from parts of the artwork. The background consists of a minimalist white gallery wall, and the floor is made of light wood. The composition of the image captures the two individuals engaged in their work, focusing on the details of the textile map installation.
