In Paul
Simon's legendary album Graceland, you can easily feel the interactions
from Simon's elapse time in South Africa and the discoveries he did there.
Under African Skies, which documents Simon's comeback to South Africa
to celebrate Graceland's 25th anniversary, is not only about
the Paul Simon gig in the country. It also includes some worthy footage from old
archives as well as the political backdrop in South Africa from the time the
album was recorded.
Giacometti worked nonstop on his sculptures, either from nature or from memory, trying to capture the universal facial expressions.
It was a quiet night in the dessert. Even the mice weren’t around. A few LEDs blinked in the dark, and the sound of a fan filled the infinite void. The conversation cutting the silence seemed to go nowhere.
The exhibition “Look At Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection” examined portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos shaped a labyrinth of gazes that invite spectators to reflect themselves in the social mirror of portraits.
