The Toilet An unspoken History (comment)

 comment

A very important topic .  I wonder why we don't celebrate this place of rest . The information about the toilets in Japan (as shown in all it's technological glory)  is interesting and perhaps i could suggest that it should be taken further.  In my mind the toilet should be artistic, and full of art work to inspire  (people usually have magazines of all sorts there to inspire them with trivial thoughts). It should give people information about social goings on.  It is where you find you are part of  the human race and you are a part of nature . This is a thought which is lingering in our minds every time we have "the need".  A lot of people now a days are given the chance to take refuge in the comforting concept that they are not responsible for nature because it is the governments that are thinking about organizing the bigger picture. The toilet in the place for the individuals anarchy .... you are alone here as you are like when you were born from a woman's rear.  That is why the communal toilets you find  in China are against nature (and the ones in Roman times as shown in the documentary too  ...  A lack of privacy indicates mediocraty and  little of respect for the individual creative mind.) 

I would write in a toilet feminist slogans, "you were all born from a woman's vagina, remember what you owe your mother who is a women"!

Article from The Guardian: "The Super Rich: Six Things to Know "

    America's super rich: six things to know Our new series, Big Money , is investigating the social and political clout of the super-rich. Natalie Jones and Alastair Gee in San Francisco, California I s America an oligarchy? That was the conclusion of a 2014 study by two prominent US political scientists , who argued that the influence of economic elites and big business far outstrips that of ordinary citizens. In their view, America is less a bastion of representative democracy than a nation trammeled by the desires of the hyper-wealthy. Others have suggested that their vision is too bleak. But the outsize economic, social and political clout of the super-wealthy in America is beyond debate - and ripe for scrutiny. That’s why we’ve launched our newest series, Big Money. Radical inequality The three richest people in the US - Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffet - own more than the bottom half of the country combined. ...

" Un Temps Pour Les Rêveurs Et Les Créateurs" A translation in French by Nathalie Diss; On Kindle in French

A Time For Dreamers Written by Nilofar Mehrin   Translated by Nathalie Diss 1998 Via Fiesolana , Florence ----------------------------------------   Je parlais avec William W. un ami   qui a enseigné dans une université américaine à Florence. Il était un concepteur de sites Web et avait créé de nombreux sites Web pour des artistes qu’il connaissait. Il avait vu mon studio et mes cartes1 et avait dit: «Pourquoi n'écrivez-vous pas une histoire pour aller avec vos cartes?»   J'ai toujours voulu écrire une telle histoire, mais j'ai fini par écrire un poème intitulé "là-bas » en angais.    Puis en 2009 j'ai fait une animation de quatre minute.

Transavanguardia italiana

Transavanguardia italiana Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera. Jump to navigation Jump to search Francesco Clemente fotografato a San Francisco nel 1991 con il proprio Autoritratto La transavanguardia italiana è un movimento artistico italiano nato verso la seconda metà degli anni settanta del XX secolo su progetto del critico Achille Bonito Oliva (a cui si deve il neologismo stesso) sulla scia della crisi economica che caratterizzò questo decennio e che ridimensionò l' ottimismo produttivo e culturale dell' Italia . Questa crisi economica ebbe conseguenze anche sull'arte, dato che smorzò l'ottimismo sperimentale delle avanguardie [1] . Contestualizzata, a posteriori, come una delle correnti del postmodernismo , la transavanguardia, grazie alla natura anticipatoria [2] dei movimenti che hanno caratterizzato l'attraversamento dell' arte concettuale , ha continuato, in Italia, ad essere protagonista di ulterio...
