Exhibition "living, perceive, represent the territory," Gallery of the University Jules Verne Beauvais

Our thinking is on the relationship between the artist and the city today through a reflection focused on the question of the place and its ownership rights. This special About out of self, outside world as a homogenous unit - the place, the place-offering a multitude of ways of thinking and questioning. It reveals an extraordinary capacity of human nature to adapt through a curious journey, that of openness towards the Other, in opposition to closing on a unit in itself unchanging. A place is something that is likely to be the link. It is the trace of the man and made sense to him. How the individual practice and place it means the living space? Photography How can it contain the site's history and its inhabitants?

These artistic eyes moving and changing the look that usually focuses on these places, these themes, these views. These works function as a common basis for linking different places. offer peuvres artists who do not claim to produce a response but a debate that seems necessary in the construction of the Self and the Other.

Bearded Dragon Food In Throat

Ephemeral Gardens neighborhood obsolete

Japanese cities include all their slum called Shitamachi (下町). A popular class, often elderly living there, with its outdated stores, its canteens, shopping streets, which gradually became depopulated, often decked out in the name a bit pompous Ginza (银座). They are called "Shutter-gay" (シャッター 街), the streets of shuttered. These gardens, subject to the imagination of their owners, are changing. They are also those neighborhoods because older people are probably dying out. They will be replaced by tall buildings offering apartments comfortable, secure, with parking and terraces which will also cover certainly flower pots, but the atmosphere will be different.
The Shitamachi people are certainly modest, but integrated into society. Crime is virtually nonexistent. It is not uncommon that the doors are ajar on the street, and that traders are absent in the backroom of their store, leaving their shops open. I suspect they sometimes take a nap, especially by the slow afternoons of summer. The atmosphere is quite happy, and we discusses some of its window directly with the neighbors also stayed home time, or the latest gossip of the village. It must be said that the next house is walls and 30 centimeters of neighbors: one could pass the salt from window to window.
These gardens are designed around small spaces. Sometimes it only borders a dozen centimeters wide around houses, and, for the more ambitious, a small patch of five square meters. Some also create a small terrace on the roof of scrap their home. Then it is best to develop, by installing numerous flowerpots, sometimes on the pavement. Sometimes found old baby baths or other containers of plastic originals. The pots are sometimes protected by transparent plastic bottles filled with water are scaring the cats that might otherwise overthrow plants. The inhabitants grow hardy plants such as aloe.
Japanese temple gardens are best known abroad, but these ephemeral creations aisles lower towns are just as touching. They make nice neighborhoods that are often a little stale and isolated. These districts are now the preferred place to walk of "bobos" Japanese, and sometimes also the author of this blog.
After more than two years Uchimizu (打ち水), this article is a good place to explain the meaning of this word in Japanese. This is actually a popular Japanese custom which is still found frequently, especially in slums. It is to throw water on the street in summer, often in late afternoon to cool the atmosphere. If not the effectiveness of a violent air conditioning, the energy required to evaporate the water effectively lowering the temperature a few degrees.

Servis Dryer Over Heating

Throughout my reading ...... (1)



long time, I want to talk about what I read and to share with you, if you like, books that I have more (or not).

This topic will, little by little, through my readings as indicated by the title and I add to it progressively.

It will, for me, too, the opportunity to remember over time which passes and which sometimes affects my memory a bit ..... titles and authors that I particularly loved or simply appreciated but no more.

Do not expect a great literary column!
It will be just a walk through my emotions and my tastes and leisure I like and still teaches me every day something new: reading.

My tastes are very eclectic, but I prefer the prose novels and other forms of literature.
Among the different kinds of novels, those that appreciate the most are those that take place in a historical context and fairly well documented.
I also like the good cops, especially the great ladies of British crime fiction (Agatha Christie, PD . James, Ruth Rendell , Minnie Walters, etc ...)

few biographies and essays are also Part of my choice, but given the time I leave my other daily business, I prefer the novel.

To share with you and maybe inspire you to read them, I'll try one or two sentences to summarize the theme of the work and give you some very brief information about authors.
To indicate my level of pleasure taken in, browse these books, I would note with asterisks (DE1 4 according to my taste).

  • theory of Gaia Maxime Chattam : scary thriller where the tension is constant and the story full of twists. Like all his books, there is an atmosphere heavy and agonizing that keeps you spellbound. The French author's books (despite its name) almost all type of Police laced fantasy.

Very beautiful novel written by a young author (born 1967) and considered one of the best writers speaking of his time. With this book, I learned, let alone understood why this town and this country have suffered so much for centuries. ****

She was born in Burgundy in 1929 and after a more than difficult childhood, abandoned by her parents because she is in deepest France and peasant before the war, being separated from her siblings and tossed several times in Foster often sordid. Despite all the vicissitudes crossed it will become a painter who died in Jerusalem in 2003. It is a wonderful book I have not finished yet, but I recommend it at all. This book is as its title a real rough diamond. The author, through a style for me "lightning" We camped the decor and ambience puts us in three sentences. Moreover, despite a childhood as unhappy, you do not cry, she even managed through a very colorful style and humor in the second degree to make us laugh. Hat the artist. ****
