Venice: Venice masks and parades

Even though not present, nor the great days of parade (starting 26/02/11 until Saturday 8 / 03 for Part animations official), or evenings to "select", we capture the spirit of the carnival.

The "show" is particularly in the sestiere San Marco.

: decrypt a city that does not include almost ...

.... crypts, despite all its churches

the occasion of this third trip to Venice, one almost a decade, each time another season, I was able to decipher this fantastic city.

The great campanile of Piazza San Marco is the same as the paintings by Canaletto and Guardi, but it actually was rebuilt exactly in 1905, following its collapse.

The phenomenon of "high water" in winter , which we have fortunately not experienced during our stay, is the millennium but has been exacerbated from the 60s as a channel was dug deep into the Mestre and Marghera sea for tankers and other vessels high sea, which has destabilized the system. On the other hand, the city had collapsed in places tens of cm, because the groundwater has been pumped too. Some driveways are equipped with removable boards "tight" about 50 cm high. An idea for some flood zones built in France?

The Guggenheim Museum, which is so modern (paintings and works of the 20th century until the 60 in all-white interior, which was the residence of Peggy G.) is actually installed in a palace of the late 18th century, which only one floor was built, following the fortunes of its 1st owner.

Nothing distinguishes the buildings outside Pinault (Palazzo Grassi, Old Customs) of their architectural surroundings, as they are the champions of modern art, sometimes mind-blowing.

The exquisite Murano glass objects, are created, blown into small factories and workshops a little rough, we see alignment north of the island of the same name.

In this city of Venice, where the last vehicle stops Piazza Roma or parking, everything is transported by boat (even patients in ambulances vessels) followed by "devil".

The Venetian dialect is alive and well it sounds like Italian, but it is not quite, either by the pronunciation, or by words.

In this city a little museum, the many wide streets less than 1.5 m, several seats are equipped with "sound systems" for popular concerts, Piazza San Marco, the Rialto market square, Campo San Giacomo dall Orio (some Irish music for a dance fest noz), Campo San Polo, for example.

Carnival, qui a fait en partie la réputation de Venise, ne s'est remis à revivre qu'à partir des années 1980. Quel bonheur pour le photographe, voire pour le voyageur, de voir toutes ces boutiques de masques et de costumes, en général assez esthétiques et bien sûr ces dizaines de couples en grande tenue, soit 18e siècle, soit moderno-intemporels qui commencent à parader en milieu d'après-midi sur la place Saint Marc et globalement dans le sestiere (quartier) San Marco.

Dans une ville que l'on dit vieillissante et touristique, à la population en diminution, il est difficile de répertorier dans les statistiques les étudiants et les résidents étrangers au long cours.

The "Scuola" we admire the outside and inside some buildings, not schools, but rather charitable confraternities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuole_Grandi_of_Venice We visited the Saint Roch (San Rocco). What emotional shock to so much magnificence, when one arrives in the great hall of the 1st floor, walls covered with paintings by Tintoretto ceiling of the late 16th century. Charity ...

and a good opportunity to remember some names (or nicknames) artists are "meaningful" Tintoretto (family of dyers), Veronese (Verona), Canaletto (real name Canal), etc.. or architect Andrea di Pietro della Gondola became Andrea Palladio in the Veneto.

Venice High masks! a little practice

Venice is magical. This is despite the flood of tourists, including French * in these times of school holidays, some tarps on buildings deemed (the city is still not fully "packed", far from it), small complications life.

Tout d'abord écluser la partie pratique. Pour pouvoir improviser sur place, il faut planifier longtemps à l'avance.

1/Venant de la moitié nord de la France, l'avion a du bon, compte tenu de la distance, sauf à faire un voyage itinérant. En s'y prenant quelques mois à l'avance, on paiera moins de 100 € AR par adulte sur AF (promotions d'automne pour des vols en général jusqu'à fin mars) ou sur d'autres compagnies.
Le train de nuit garde son charme pour certains, mais nous préférons dormir véritablement. Cependant, au petit matin, traverser le pont qui mène à la gare terminale, sortir de it and be immediately opposite the Canal, a church dome and the atmosphere of Venice's impact: it immediately movies "big screen".

By plane: a blue shuttle bus to 3 € every 30 minutes, leads to Piazza Roma, gateway to downtown Venice in 30 minutes or less. Shipping is of course longer with the company Irish airline.

2 / Similarly, it will study several weeks (or months for special events) in advance to place hosting to find a good compromise between cost / convenience / distance. Peel the guide-books, plants in comparison-reservation. We chose a neighborhood "core" or the North-East of Santa Croce, right bank of the central canal, 10 minutes walk from the station or Piazza Roma (a bridge between the two) , 15 minutes from the Rialto Bridge, 30 minutes from San Marco and the Accademia, 2 minutes from the vaporetto bus.
Also it was close to a "quasi paths which recall the GR and markings mountaineers at each corner or junction, small signs show Rialto or Piazza Roma.

* French tourists: whatever the city (or country) that we visit abroad, we are always surprised by the high proportion of French people there, outnumbered by the English, Chinese, Japanese and Americans. The escape of the French criiiise.

To do so, while "dressed for the season" (remember that Vivaldi was born and lived for many years in Venice), ie against the damp cold and wind in winter, it is better to travel "light" with dimensions 55x35x25 cm in cabin baggage for airlines 'normal', less for the low costs (55x40x20 for the Irish Non-negotiable). This is to spend less time (or money with low costs (!?!)) at airports and to better get around the city, heading for his hotel.

During the carnival, we were interested in the advertised room rates on the sites change almost every day of the week.

There are also packages, cards and pass or not combining transport and museums and even public toilets (if not € 1.5, or in pubs with a drink). They were not interesting to us because we had already visited the "attractions" of Piazza San Marco and the Accademia in a previous trip
Instead, we took choruspass for 10 € for access to 16 churches of the first artistic (if not 3 € per church member, while others are free or are not part of the club).

choruspass The churches can be visited from 10 to 17h except office, the other about 9 to 12 and 15 to 19h, the museums are open on average from 10 to 17:00 in winter. Some are closed on Mondays , others Tuesday (eg the Pinault, the Guggenheim), so the plan must also his days, especially in the slot 10-17h

Pinault Grassi costs 15 € (20 € in principle with the Old Customs is closed until mid-April, a small discount if the ticket Choruspass), Guggenheim costs 12 €, so Culture has a cost.

Living in the center may make unnecessary purchases systematic vaporetto ticket: € 6.5 a ticket for 1 hour, 18 € for 24 h, 28 € for 48 hours etc.. In contrast, the superfluous becomes fun, when you take the ferry to take the Grand Canal and admire the facades of the palace to tour the city and admire the domes, join other islands either Venice or to the Lagoon, brushing against the "dolphins" these large piles called tinkering, which mark the path of boats.
Fun provided the boat is not too full.

Tony Cragg, an Englishman living in Germany is subject to the Louvre

The Louvre, like other major museums and sites (Versailles), is returned from the "modern" temporarily. The few beautiful sculptures by Tony Cragg, often harmonious shapes and meaning that is sometimes a little less, are set among the sculptures of the "gardens" covered the North Wing.

Tony Cragg, an Englishman born in 1949 travaillant depuis des années à Wuppertal (Nord Ouest de l'Allemagne), à la notoriété déjà bien installée, passe donc par le Louvre pendant quelques semaines.

J'apprécie notamment ses statues en bois pour au moins 2 raisons.
- Elles évoquent pour moi ces pierres érodées en général mises en valeur dans les jardins chinois, dont certaines sont monumentales.
- Elles sont composées de dizaines à centaines de lamelles de bois découpées comme des courbes de niveau à l'ancienne servant à représenter une colline ou une montagne, un doux souvenir de cours de géographie.
Enfin, peintes and varnished, they shine and softness and evoke sensuality.

course there are other interesting pieces, all lying about twenty feet of the statues of Messerschmidt.

The "confrontation" Tony CRAGG vs. FX MESSERSCHMIDT the Louvre currently does not seem to be a first: the "Galerie Belvedere in Vienna was completed in 2008.

Tony Cragg is already" come "in Paris, with a strong beautiful exhibition in 2009 at the Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Street Debelleyme in Paris third.

tour through April 2011 at the same time as the permanent museum.

Messerschmidt picnic on the Louvre and walked down the Danube

The term "Messerschmitt" evokes a certain number of French or Europeans a German fighter plane the second world war, fearful at the time. The name of the company continued to exist in MBB merged gradually integrated into EADS, the German side. As

ago sometimes logical names / surnames worn, Messerschmidt actually means "cutler" Messer = knife and Schmidt (the English equivalent of Smith) smith (Schmied in current German).

Also the Louvre we often accustomed to nice academic exhibitions. And a few exhibitions smaller, eg on the mezzanine floor of the Richelieu wing.

The on Messerschmidt can only "stir" Imagination http://mini-site.louvre.fr/saison18e/index_f.php?expo=messerschmidt # / Messerschmidt / Introduction This with these expressive faces to realistic and unreal. Almost real-size, located at ground level, these faces are more striking than the caricatures of Daumier (in another genre, and with another goal, it is true) or the Chinese emaciated presented in some exhibitions. The fine lines, and the choice of materials (alabaster, tin-lead alloy) contribute to this strange character.

Messerschmidt, 1736-1783, Bavarians from a family of sculptors, rose gradually to the east: studies and early career in Vienna, an end after 1777 in Pressburg / Bratislava in Slovakia, an important city of the Kingdom of Hungary.

tour until 25 April 2011, prices included in the ticket "normal" in the Louvre.

thirst for jerusalem

One of the first concerns of a Western traveler abroad is what is "state of the water which flows from the tap. In short: "I can drink it, then I use it?" His curiosity
usually stops there. For those who want to "dig" the subject on a city like Jerusalem

LEMIRE VINCENT: THE THIRST FOR JERUSALEM Test hydrohistoire (1840-1948)


I have read dozens of selected pages of this book very well done. Everything is said in the introduction below. Interesting historical approach at a time when many cities are experiencing problems in designing and managing their water supply system.
The table of contents is visible: http://bertrand-biechy-books-in-brief.blogspot.com/

The urban history of Jerusalem in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, buried under memories competing eventually disappear behind the symbolic and nationalist conflicts.

To break with a narrow communitarian and geostrategic of the Holy City, to make it rebound dimension profane and everyday without losing sight of the arrangement of its territories, its monuments, its terrain and its citizens, Vincent Lemire chose to write the history of the city through the prism of the water issue. Perched at more than 700 meters, Jerusalem is desperately short of drinking water, especially between les années 1840, moment du décollage démographique, et l’inauguration en 1936 de la monumentale canalisation de Ras el-Aïn. La « soif de Jérusalem » devient dès lors un enjeu majeur de l’action publique, qu’elle soit portée par les autorités civiles et religieuses de la ville ou par les puissances internationales qui s’en disputent le contrôle.

L’histoire de cette longue quête hydraulique, dominée tour à tour par les archéologues et les philanthropes occidentaux, puis par les autorités impériales ottomanes et les édiles municipaux et enfin par les porte-drapeaux du projet sioniste et du nationalisme palestinien, s’appuie sur analyzing a variety of sources and largely unpublished: Ottoman archives of the municipality of Jerusalem and agent, records of the administration of waqf, the imperial archives of Istanbul, consular and diplomatic archives from London, Paris and Nantes, archives of the Zionist movement Jerusalem, private collections. This pioneering study shows that the issue is a hydro exciting observatory for urban history and draw the outlines of a new historical method, the hydrohistoire, particularly effective for understanding the meaning of saturated places like the city of Jerusalem.

Vincent Lemire, a former student de l’École normale supérieure de Fontenay-Saint-Cloud, est maître de conférences en histoire contemporaine à l’université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée et membre du laboratoire « Analyse comparée des pouvoirs » (EA 3350). Ses recherches actuelles portent sur Jérusalem et le Proche-Orient contemporain, l’histoire environnementale et la patrimonialisation urbaine.

China to Italy is in Paris with Waldemar

Les grandes agences ont expédié des envoyés spéciaux au coeur de l'action au Caire, qui ne connaissaient pas toujours le terrain, et craignaient les projectiles et les contrôles.

Nous avons envoyé, sans control but a stone's throw, Waldemar Gielarek, graphic designer-photographer-artist, who is familiar with the streets of Paris, in this mission fraught with danger: the synthesis of China to Italy.

WG: coauthor of "Paris saw in the water," with photographic images in the book "100 monuments, 100 writers, the history of France", among other contributions.
