ARTMOVESNYC: The City Heart is Pumping

I discover ArtMovesNyc between a coffee industry presentation and a Portuguese class and the concept presented really amazed me. A kiosk, in Lisbon, Paris,Milan or Vienna  sells Newspapers, Magazines in New York is where most of the old-timers, downsized by tech freaks spend their money on subcultural habits like buying Sunday newspapers and Magazines,occasionally on a pack of cigarettes.Those habits withdraw me from my fellow New Yorkers with their Ipad's and Ibook's that I so much enjoy to see in my permanent leisure but this time was different the Kiosk was full of Art Work that attracts my attention, I mean this Artists, besides the alternative way of presenting their work they feel the city pumping heart.

How came a positive massage can be provocative?

Provocative is not always a good feedback but talent,  and non institutionalized creativity with a positive therapeutic message is a gift.

A Shrink can not do so much for you like this fantastic new art concept that synchronizes and merges "...the phenomena of earth made and man made between layers of color, texture, image and mark contained within or unraveling across the frame of a canvas". Andrew Cotton and James Goldcrown introduced me to the a new art business concept -the mobile gallery.  This New York-based artist who have spent the last ten years building a diverse portfolio of paintings,photography sculptures and mixed media work works with clients like Bliss Spa, W Hotel, Def Jam, Vogue, MTV and The Economist.

This work has been showcased at art galleries in New York, London and Milan.

Great atmosphere at Uptown Manhattan!

Robert Fernandez Fiction an Objective and Actual View That Connects With Public Emotions

Robert Fernandez tremendous short movie "Una Calle sin Salida" is about violence in and drug cartels, is also a tribute to rap music as an instigator of violence and also as a scream of revolt to a situation that has no end. Robert is objective showing the reality, in an alternative economy that has his lobbies, the subjective message is: No Hope and  Fear in a business that enslaves people. Robert made a real profile of the drug scenarios that are the same everywhere and the inoperative corrupt Authorities and hopeless, trouble-minded dealers. The Director is a realistic by all standards he also has a clear view of reality. Sometimes we doubt his fiction world and think, because even when he is ficctioning he does it in a way frequently using news gadgets as away of relate to the storie telling, that is almost a documentary of a reality felt in some way by everybody. This cold objectivistic fiction appeals abruptly to the public because the action runs so fast that our subjectivism actively reconnects to a reality we sadly experience on a daily basis on our imaginary, made by the news, or in real life in our neighbourhoods.
The recognition came as the way the award winning Director connects emphaticly.

Grounding: The Last Days of Swissair tells the story of Swiss air's manager Mario A. Corti. Part in Black and White format that fluids naturally to the darkest minds of white collar crime and in a way that can be related to our recent past. Robert is not provocative but he shows reality,cruelty and greed in common sense approach. We all experience the abnormal systems in our society and we all have cold, discomfort feelings. That makes an empathy with the audience. This connection with the public, this permanent discomfort and disturbing way of show corruption and a certain decay that is global. Robert Fernandez more than a promise he is surely a establish name showing a rotten and less than perfect society.

O Fado Símbolo Máximo da Nação e Outros Símbolos

Surpreende-me e confesso que desconhecia que o Fado não era património cultural da Humanidade mas percebo de certa forma a razão de só agora o ser. Durante anos era quase provinciano gostar de fado ( e de qualquer tipo de musica portuguesa) associando a este tipo de musica a coisas que nunca percebi e de certa forma encapotadamente ridicularizado o mais universal, aquilo porque somos apreciados (em estreita relação com o Clima e a Gastronomia e não só).

A forma como os Brasileiros apreciam a cultura Brasileira, não só ao nível da musica mas também do cinema e de outras formas de arte e de louvar.

De há uns anos para cá comecei a sentir que algo parecido estava a acontecer em Portugal. E foi com surpresa que vi aparece nomes grandes do fado e projectos com grande aceitação em todas as faixas etárias.

E bom que assim seja pois grande parte da musica Nacional tem grande qualidade. E sem surpresa que por exemplo consigo encontrar paralelismos entre a banda The Cramps e o Quim Barreiros assim como consigo ver algo de Poison Ivy em Rosinha( instrumentos a parte).

E que como o Fado a nossa musica étnica- que considero ser o Folclore Tradicional -seja também única no mundo e mais antiga que o Condado Portucalense.

Portugal culturalmente e um dos países mais desenvolvidos da Europa e gosto quando alguém vai a Portugal e diz muitas pessoas falam Inglês, francês, alemão e vem nostalgicamente com vontade de aprender a nossa língua e isso deve-se não só ao bem receber mas também a nossa Cultura, Historia, as nossas boas salas de espetaculos e a nossa identidade que foi construída pelo Fado, pela Boémia,pela Literatura, pela Gastronomia, pelo Cinema onde somos pioneiros em diversos sentidos. Ninguém filma como Oliveira, ninguém ousou tanto como César Monteiro, ninguém consegue definir Jacinto Lucas Pires ou Pedro Paixão, ninguém canta da forma apaixonada de Marco Paulo e Tony Carreira, ninguém tem o ecletismo de Jorge Ferreira que canta desde Desgarradas, musica Pop ou Rock.

Assim como Amália, Marceneiro, Carlos Paredes também Marisa, Carlos do Carmo, Ana Moura, entre outros e também com esforços para que estes fenómeno acontecesse, talento só não chega e também necessário um ambiente politico, social e (já mencionado) cultural que promova e dignifique a cultura.
Quanto ao ambiente económico, creio ser nos períodos de crise que a cultura se reafirma e a curta metragem, Comando talvez seja disso o melhor exemplo (com um orçamento de 20 Euros).

Such an Almost Perfect Chromatic combination, Harmony and Texture Excecionais lead to a cyclonic Market Entry

Taisa de Barros e Silva Storace Nasser was born in Sao Paulo in July 1953. She graduated in Architecture from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo in 1976. “The military dictatorship was a particularly difficult time, Belonging to a liberal
family , limitations on freedom of expression and the imposition of dogma and ideological control of the family private life it was a periud of struggle and anguish” said the artist
curator-the aclamed art critic, journalist,writer….jakob Klintowitz.
Taisa libertarian chose a liberal profession, architecture. And she was always close to artists, intellectuals and the search for the meaning of existence. According to the jacob "The painters has always been linked to the process of creation. First as an architect planner, when he thought,
planned and related integrated systems of living, being and development. Was responsible
for creating as a team, and by performing great projects. And always was in close contact with philosophy, visual arts and literature. " In this personal journey, from architectural planning to construction and finally to painting, the artist walked inside, to the inner-self, to discover himself and his innermost desire. More than a necessity, perhaps, is the sense of an obligation, to encode and transmit an extraordinary experience in the field of sensitivity and awareness of what drove Taisa to this encounter with the painting. In addition to presenting their works to market she is a
collector and has formed a collection of works by masters such as Di Cavalcanti, Antonio Gomide, Djanira, Iannelli, Antonio Henrique Amaral, among others.
Taisa Nasser's painting has a harmony, a classical structure and a symmetry that reveals a mastery of the chromatic combination only possible to the great masters. An extraordinary texture and surface where there is a dialogue between the plane and the third dimension. The
birth of a new being in the larger body color. A sort of hidden world, apparent that in questions. There is here a particular system of unification of the whole. Individuality and immersion in the set.
The universe is unified in paintings such as the artist.
The appearance and reality are one the same. The surface
colors with establishes a profound dialogue between the plane and the third dimension.
They showed us that it is possible simultaneity: individuality and immersion in all ... “an harmony subsists
in this work ... and life ... Nasser works in the record on a superior planning.
In main lines, in search of synthesis and harmony. And the harmony in its
etymological and mythical, is precisely the coexistence of different
"thus explaining the reconciliation of the various components of life-Taisa Architecture, Painting and business”
The light and the fog makes some
paintings mysterious. There is a delicacy of execution, a subtlety a savoir
faire. The dramatic action of the painter's painter dizzying, the speed and certainty of
execution, the formal coherence of her work have imposed an immediate consideration to the art circuit as a possible
renewal of Brazilian history to Expressionism, so strong in this country. But
Jacob and the artist refuse labels or look traditional artistic connotations preferring other
approaches "... ... is an objective picture of a subtle energy,
spiritual"said Jacob
There is a consistency in paintings such Nasser that helps
explain the interest aroused by his work. Both the previous phase, lyrical, sensitive, as is
currently the color contrast, reveals a new Comprehension of art as expression, as a
psychic message ..., a desire for transcendence.
Nasser is an ideologically uncompromising artist, but has a clear vision of the
world, want to share emotions and desires although there
is not a desire to convince or change the public which makes contact with the art there is an
exciting in the search for meaning
depths of existence.
The words of the artist has a mystical or spiritual
nature that curiously does not depend on the position of the artist from the
ideological spectrum. The greatest painter of religious art, Candido Portinari was
an atheist and a communist. Livio Abramo, who discovered the lights
visually african-Brazilian rituals, such as Candomblé and Macumba, was too leftist. In Brazilian art, the connection to the
spiritual world is deeply rooted showing sometimes explicitly, sometimes
through the symbolism of shape.
The artist not only brought the graphical experience, but
also knowledge of Zen Buddhism as an expansion of consciousness. Ego noticed
the presence of the soul. ... The process was accompanied by his master Alencastro Luiz Gasparetto. "Their ability to soak in the process and its visible unity with the action and its identification for the purpose. Taisa Nasser is fundamentally a painter. I do not see in other artist like her. A clear sensitivity to the perception of the unknown, to uncover the occult, to become visible. It is a pictorial expression, therefore, spiritual. For now, his work converges for us to meet us, to “asks” for a possible dialogue, a discussion of evidence, insights and surprises, I would add speed and certainty of execution that are visible, the formal coherence to her paintings made the art circuit avveptance of her work almost cyclonic, her strong cultural background is
definetely a plus. Taisa Nasser has several exhibitions scheduled in Europe, United States Brazil.
In addition to architecture and fine arts such, she is an integral member of the industry as a shareholder of several companies.

Taisa has a permenent exhinition at the Monsserat Contemporany Arts Gallery and in November she's going to be u New york City with an exhibition at Bank of Brazil.

Jean-Marc Laroche and An Original View of Life After Death

French Sculptor Jean-Marc Laroche in The Museum of Sex Shows An Author’s Vision Live After
Death - In an Allegorical Manner This is The Artist Idea of Heaven

The work of French sculptor, Jean-Marc Laroche is Extraordinary! Includes two human-sized sculptures made of varnished resin and jointed with an invisible steel framework - an effect which resembles real bones. With regards to the "Lovers from the Hereafter" sculptures,
Jean-Marc said, "They themselves quite joyful and they thumb their
noses at death and present the afterlife as a roll in the hay."
The one month long installation at the Museum of Sex is sponsored by The Evolution Store in SoHo. Bill Stevens, Owner of The Evolution store said, "The Evolution Store is
always on the lookout for items that encapsulate our passion for science and
art and partnering with the Museum of Sex is a wonderful opportunity to
showcase Jean-Marc Laroche's work and our unique take on the role of natural
history in the modern world.” The work of the French sculpture it’s an Uncomfortable Powerful look at death Born in Paris in 1959, Jean-Marc Laroche start his career building Fantasy Knives free rein to his imagination in his creative work. Over the course of participation in
international trade shows, Jean-Marc Laroche met his best clients and sponsors,
some of whom still follow his work today.These knives had success not only in
Europe but also in Latin America (specially Brazil) and in United States very
much marked by the world of cinemato and Comics, he has exhibited at the
Avoriaz and Brussels Fantasy Film Festivals several times, where his work has
met with great public success and caught the attention of Hollywood Directors
and Producers and also worldwide.


The installation will
be on view at the Museum of Sex from October 5, 2011 and ending after Halloween
on November 4, 2011 These sculpturese
"kind of represent orgasm as a litle death" – Borges definition-
there’s another life after death. An onoristic life. Everybody fears death but
the author concept is “there’s a big party after…that’s a desmistified,
desdramatized view…and includes an own, very original paradise. What’s better
in life than sex? asks the sculptor smiling-“there’s a big party
death”-concludes.

On The Evolution Store
the artist carries the Fantastical World of Fritz Lang-Metropolis in the Bronze
scuptures and has created several erotic, sensual works. Jean’s sculptures are
Masterpieces putting Skeletons in sexual/erotic positions. EROS as the
mischievous God of love are sintetysed with Thanatos personification of death..

“His work is a unique
and powerful synthesis of life, death and raw power. I am in awe!” Guillermo
del Toro – Director/Producer

I highly suggest seeing
exhibition “Lovers from the Hereafter” on the the Museum of Sex in New York and
The Evolution Store. The death as a moment of eternal pleasure, an eternal big
orgy resin articulated on a steel frame invisible, were created by the
sculptor, in a provocative almost grotesque way they immortalized romantic
postures. The artist's vision "fantasy of eternal life".
The sculptures embodies sexual power. In an
allegorical manner this is the artist idea of heaven.

Laroche desire is not
on the skin. His work is a powerful synthesis of life and death

.“By showcasing the
artistry of the human skeleton we are able to think about sex from a whole new
perspective.” Sarah Forbes – Museum of Sex curator
