"Katerina Jebb Concocts Seven Products You Cannot Live Without This Fall<br />
For years artist Katerina Jebb has been collaborating with good friend Tilda Swinton in making satirical shorts. When gallery owner Gloria Maria Cappelletti happened upon one of these parody advertisments last year, she encouraged Jebb to expand on the series, and the result is Simulacrum and Hyperbole. Opening on Thursday at the Gloria Maria Gallery in Milan, the show features an installation that includes a television set playing Jebb's imaginary channel Lucid TV and seven cheeky films about consumerism and the beauty industry, with a little help from the artist’s famous friends. Here’s a rundown of the imaginary products they're selling."<br />

Civilization is a video installation we created with artist/director Marco Brambilla for the elevators Standard Hotel in NYC. It's comprised of over 400 video clips and it takes elevator passengers on a trip from hell to heaven as they go up or from heaven to hell as they go down.

GHOST is a study of model Natasha Poly. An investigation into the obsessive behavior of the public eye and it's lingering effects on those chased and caught by it. The piece utilizes multiple shots, all presented head-on, giving the audience an opportunity to experience the deconstruction of an icon as it strips the beauty out of fashion.MARIA Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18354454820937313175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453920.post-22881839946422559782010-08-05T22:39:00.001-05:002010-08-05T22:39:12.656-05:00vogue paris<div style="text-align: left; padding: 3px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maquisin/4864577991/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4095/4864577991_262cc8dd66.jpg" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maquisin/4864577991/">vogueparisdariaviktorrolfcqc</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/maquisin/">parallel entity</a>.</span></div><p></p>MARIA Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18354454820937313175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453920.post-32906529314885644672010-08-05T20:33:00.001-05:002010-08-05T20:33:15.406-05:00begotten Susan Sontag called it "one of the 10 most important films of

A woman, Mother Earth, emerges from his remains, arouses the body, and impregnates herself with his semen. Becoming pregnant, she wanders off into a vast and barren landscape. The pregnancy manifests in a fully grown convulsing man whom she leaves to his own devices.<br /><br />The "Son of Earth" meets a group of faceless nomads who seize him with what is either a very long umbilical cord or a rope. The Son of Earth vomits organic pieces, and the nomads excitedly accept these as gifts. The nomads finally bring the man to a fire and burn him.<br /><br />"Mother Earth" encounters the resurrected man and comforts him. She seizes the man with a similar umbilical cord. The nomads appear and proceed to rape her. Son of Earth is left to mourn over the lifeless body. A group of characters appears, carry her off and dismember her, later returning for Son of Earth. After he, too, is dismembered, the group buries the remains, planting the parts into the crust of the earth. The burial site becomes lush with flowers. In a final coda, "Mother Earth" and "Son of Earth" are shown again, this time wandering away through a forest.<br /><br />While the movie is not easily approached—lacking both dialogue and discernible cultural symbols—it does contain references to various religious and pagan myths. Christian elements are present in the impregnation of Mother Earth by God, akin to the impregnation of Mary by the Holy Spirit. The same myth is partly present in ancient Egyptian mythology, where Isis impregnates herself with the penis of the killed god Osiris and gives birth to Horus.<br />[edit] Critical Reception<br /><br />The critical reception of Begotten was very positive. It holds a rating of 67% at Rotten Tomatoes[2] . Phil Hall of Wired.Com says: "Few motion pictures have the power to jolt an audience with the fury, imagination, and artistic violence of Begotten[3] Susan Sontag called it "one of the 10 most important films of modern times"</p>MARIA Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18354454820937313175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453920.post-36859141137941181502010-08-03T18:02:00.002-05:002010-08-03T18:02:24.843-05:00Flamenco Dance by Joaquín Cortés<object height="505" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K2ALh2nXHRM&hl=en_US&fs=1?color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K2ALh2nXHRM&hl=en_US&fs=1?color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object>MARIA Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18354454820937313175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453920.post-91242452320892359212010-07-30T15:37:00.002-05:002010-07-30T15:37:57.755-05:00<b><span style="font-size: large;">“I often wonder, sometimes I think the people who buy our clothes live in a parallel universe.
