My painting of Buildings are The Metropolis built now ! Winston Sterzel's vision of Chinse cities !

my Comment;

My paintings of the future metropolis are actually happening today in big cities in China ......and other countries in the world )as seen in Serpentza;

The U tube films about China called Serpentza are made by Winston  Sterzel.  This is a very interesting series all about the country which we know so little about.  China is stepping out into the real modern wolrd.  Just like the USA we know from Hollywood films and American  TV Series  I  get the impressions i need about this country.  I appreciate these series very much ....  and with his films i feel that i am travelling with him amd his friend on those streets and roads in a less mysterious land.  There are some Chinese viewers who are not taking well to this production thinking that Winston is trying to criticize their country and their way of life. But they are wrong because Winston is actually doing positive publicity for what he knows and what he loves.  I think what he and his friend C. Milk  are doing with these films is bringing us a human picture of how the Chinese live today .... as a viewer i am less ignorant and much closer to the people and the culture.

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.

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...
