Tacita Dean

BIOGRAPHY

Tacita Dean was born the year 1965 in Canterbury, England. It is a visual artist.

From 1985 to 1988 went to the Falmouth School of Art. He had a Greek government scholarship to the School of Fine Arts Athens Supreme in1989 to 1990. In the period 1990 to 1992 attended the Slade School of Fine Arts in London. Initially trained as a painter, but later was dedicated to video, work for which he is known. Used, however, a wide variety of media including drawing, photography and sound. He has also published several books, whose subjects supplementing their visual work. His most recent work does not include comments, but some of his texts are part of the videos. It is one of the Young British Artists.

Actually she lives and works in Berlin. She is famous for her work in the film 16 mm, despite she uses a variety of media including drawings, photos and sound. her films often use the camera angle long shots and constant to create a contemplative atmosphere. She works with the capture of the natural light or subtle changes in the movement. With her static positions of the camera she wants to make the events take place slowly.Many of her works show that the architecture can be transformed by the camera lents.

The films, drawings and other works by Tacita Dean are extremely original. Her recent film portraits express something that neither painting nor photography can capture. They are purely film. And while Dean can appreciate the past, her art avoids any kind of academic approach. Dean‘s art is carried by a sense of history, time and place, light quality and the essence of the film itself. The focus of her subtle but ambitious work is the truth of the moment, the film as a medium and the sensibilities of the individual.

THE FILM

FILM is an 11-minute silent 35mm film projected onto a gigantic white monolith standing 13 metres tall at the end of a darkened Turbine Hall. It is the first work in The Unilever Series devoted to the moving image, and celebrates the masterful techniques of analogue film-making as opposed to digital. The film feels like a surreal visual poem, including images from the natural world among others, with the epic wall of the Turbine Hall showing through, in a montage of black and white, colour, and hand-tinted film.

Exhibition of Russian Ballet and biography of Diaghilev

On 30th November we went to the CaixaForum in Barcelona to see an exhibition called "The Russian Ballet of Diaghilev". The exhibition had many works and many pictures of the dancers and the costumes that they used. What I like most and caught my attention were the clothes that were exposed there and their descriptions.
Serguéi Pávlovich Diaghilev was born on 31st March, 1872 in Sélischi, Russia. He was a russian businessman and a founder of the Russian Ballet, a company of which came many famous dancers and choreographers. He was born into a wealthy family and he studied law at university. When he was a child, he lived in the city of Perm, where his father worked. Today, in a house where he lived with his family, there is a school with his name.
In 1905, he organized an exhibition of russian portraits in St. Petersburg. He also commissioned ballet music by composers like Claude Debusy, Richard Strauss or Manuel de Falla, with the "Three Cornered Hat". Diaghilev worked in connection with the artistic director of the Russian Ballet, Leon Bakst. Maybe the most important composer who colaborated with Diaghilev was Igor Stavinsky. Diaghilev produced "The Sleeping Beauty" in London, in 1921. It had a good reception by the public, but it was not a financial success.
Diaghilev was openly homosexual. He had relationships with several men, but the best known was with Vaslav Nijinski. He died at the Grand Hotel des Bains de Mer of Venice, in 1929. Three weeks later, his brother was excecuted in the first Soviet concentration camp.

El Sant Sopar

Autors: Magda González, Ramon Lamarca, Xavier Vilageliu, Jaume Serras, Josep Eloi Ontiveros, Albert Granado, Francesc Sastre, Joan Ventura, Vicenç Viaplana Joan Martínez, Paco Merino i Joan Illa Morell

Organització: CIT (Centro Iniciativas y Turismo. Comarca del Vallés)

L'any 1973

ESTIL: Fotografía

Un grup d'artistes de Granollers va ocupar la plaça dels Porcs, actual plaça de perpinyà, recreant amb 12 artístes, 12 apòstols, i al centre una dona, en representació de Jesús

El fet, de que només hi hagui una dona en l'obra, i que aquesta estigui situada en mitg, opino que pot expressar i criticar, la suposada inferioritat de la dona fa uns anys. A més, l'obra representa clarament de manera original, el sant sopar dels 12 apòstols i Jesús.

Aquesta peça artística, està feta en plena guerra civil, l'any 1937. En aquesta època, qualsevol obra d'art amb temàtica política o religiosa, era suprimida.
