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.

Bath Pillow For Straight Back Tub

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.

Borderline Personality Disorder Famous Sufferers

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.

Exoticism and the meeting are on our doorstep.


In France, the year ahead is the Rabbit while in other countries, the animal chosen is chatting (year of the cat).


Is the Prince of Groland who marries during the celebration of Chinese New Year: cat or rabbit?
Some French have taken the place of the Companies Republican to celebrate the occasion (see below)

EGYPT CAIRO ? Moving on up? and forums

One of us had visited Egypt emptied of tourists in the first Gulf War. We took off from Sharm el Sheikh one week before a plane, with mostly French tourists, crashed in the Red Sea shortly after takeoff. We also had time to unpack this time our bags ...

Some images seen on TV since returning surprise me a bit. Others we are easier to analyze.

Firstly there is no camel tassel at the Centre of Cairo, or horses decked. The small cavalry charge shown on TV could come of "benefit tourism" Giza, completely idle since the "closure" of the great pyramids of Cairo suburb, and eventually paid for expressing their opposition to the opposition.

Most women interviewed live are bareheaded, while over 90% of Egyptian women cover their hair with a veil. Interpretation?

The Egyptian Museum is very close to the heart of the action. The room lighting is mostly natural and overhead (large glass panels in the ceiling), where a certain risk with incendiary bombs.

In a city normally so checkered and police guardians of all kinds, their absence should make a big void.

With all the rubble stored on the flat roofs of buildings (for not paying their removal, according to an innkeeper), it is important enough to set up barricades, which would not stop the tanks, but other vehicles Certainly.

The events should not be further insurgency: one of the presidential palace is located 2 km from the square, moderately well defended (just large grids), the Assembly and a number of ministries are at 1 km (ditto).

Where to spend the tens of thousands of vehicles that pass by every day this neighborhood, with traffic jams? What is the life of other neighborhoods in this city of 18-22 million people? A camera lens "focus".

A source of information, as appropriate evidence, in other emotionally charged enough, is to find forums on travel, which of course http://www.routard.com/ .
forum, usually a "mine" quite personal, both for the practical detail and / or reinsurance on the quality of a service, but also for the lazy or / is said to want to leave 10-15 days in a country and expects that it replaces a guide-book or a travel agency, without even looking at comparable previous posts on this topic ... behavior "consumer" quite interesting.
