I don’t believe in maturity. There is always room for the next mistake. -

FRANCESCO CLEMENTE

Kiss

Clemente’s paintings deal with the self, a self defined by one’s sexual desires and the yearning for harmony, security and protection.

Glenn Gould - Shostakovich , Piano Quintet G min Op. 57 - I

The Spectacular Difference

In the morning I mused

It won't return, the magic of life

it won't return

.

Suddenly in my house the sun

became alive for me

and the table with bread on it

gold

and the flower on the table

and the glasses

gold

And what happened to the sadness

In the sadness too, radiance.

Inverted World

As we’ve all learned in school, 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, only 30% is solid ground. What if everything was reversed? What if every land mass was a body of water, and vice versa? This map explores that question, and it is fantastic in at least three definitions of that word: fanciful, implausible and marvelous. The interior of China is marked by a spouting whale, a sailboat ploughs the waves of the Brazilian Ocean, a school of fish traverse the watery wastes of Siberia, large cities dominate places rarely frequented by people in this universe… The oceans in this inverted world are the Great Asian Ocean (the world’s largest), the African, Brazilian, United and Antarctica Oceans.

Belle - ILE

Dominique Spiessert by Dominique Spiessert

The technology of silence

The rituals, etiquette

.

the blurring of terms

silence not absence

.

of words or music or even

raw sounds

.

Silence can be a plan

rigorously executed

.

the blueprint of a life

. It is a presence

it has a history a form

.

Do not confuse it

with any kind of absence

.

- Adrienne Rich

We live unsettled lives

and stay in a place

only long enough to find

we don't belong.

Even the clouds, forming

noiselessly overhead,

are cloudy without

resembling us, and, storming

the vacant air,

don't take into account

our present loneliness.

And yet, why should we care?

Already we are walking off

as if to say,

we are not here,

we've always been away.

- Mark Strand
