The artists and documentary crew travel together to different parts of the globe and express through art exhibitions the subject matter of the towns and cultures they visit. <br /><br /><br />The goal of The New Grand Tour in the early 21st Century is to bring together the diversified voices of artists and communities from around the world by bridging cultural divides through art and the moving image as the common grounds for communication, education, discovery, exchange, philanthropy and collaboration.<br /><br /><br />Our mission is to redefine, revive, change and reinvent the old concept of "The Grand Tour" to be more than just an 18th and 19th century privileged trip for the elite. We seek to interact with foreign cultures in an appreciative and organic way rather than as touring voyeurs.<br /><br /><br />The New Grand Tour Group was founded by Rey Parlá, José Parlá, Suitman, Julia F. Kwan and Mark Foster.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaEwmGcPM0CG40WI-mzgK9juUt9awQRSsbH3F9nHu0bd3TLtZqEPvkSYT8dgUqefOXdEVe7wXM_R6_mMuheTIzdjzFyYNOmdLtm3XDMJvoD24QXRL1iBucjL1-CgfmtrNo3QEuheXa6F4/s1600-h/TNGT+entrance+wall.jpg"><img style="display:block;

The construction of the city and the passing of time find their equivalent in the way he attacks a painting, how he sees the need to layer his surfaces the way the city itself is layered.”<br /><br />“As Parlá himself explains in conversation with his brother Rey “I call my works ‘<em>Memory</em> <em><em>Documents</em></em>’ because they become fragments of places I’ve been through. I am not only using paint to create my paintings, but I am also collecting bits of paper from walls, old newspapers, chunks of materials from the street or subway stations to reuse as collage onto my own surfaces and rework them until the colours of mould, rust and deterioration are right for the composition. The process may take weeks or months.” Manon Slome, Curator | The Chelsea Art Museum<br /><br />“In 2005 I had the opportunity to participate in an exhibition by curator Manon Slome of the Chelsea Art Museum and Italian artist Mimmo Rotella. At the museum I installed two paintings – at wall size – both being the sum of 75ft. Together they are titled: <em>Conversations with Rotella.</em> <br /><br />One painting was <em>Tremont Ave</em> and the second <em>Canal Street</em>. Tremont Ave, the painting – was inspired by walls in the Bronx Avenue of the same name. This piece is layered with posters collected from streets in the Bronx covered in names and signatures made in the style of people who have either passed away or are artist I once looked up to while growing up. <br /><br />The idea is to pay homage to their names. Each painting bears the name of the location or experience from which it draws its source.” —José Parlá<br /><br />José Parlá is a Miami native of Cuban descent. Parlá moved to Puerto Rico at a very early age before returning to Miami again when he was nine. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.<br /><br />Parlá’s paintings have been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions: Cityscapes at Art Basel Miami Beach, Pirate Utopias with Futura at Elms Lesters Painting Rooms in London, The Chelsea Art Museum in New York where his work was exhibited with Mimmo Rotella, and most recently in Hong Kong for The New Grand Tour exhibition and video project with artists: Deanne Cheuk, Suitman and Rostarr.<br /><br /><br />A fully illustrated catalogue featuring texts by <br />Francesco Sborgi and Greg Tate will accompany the exhibition.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.iltrifoglionero.com/">Gallery hours : Tuesday – Saturday 14.30-19.30<br />Galleria Il Trifoglio Nero<br />Palazzo Ducale<br />Piazza Matteotti 80-82<br />Genova, 16123, Italy<br />www.iltrifoglionero.com<em></em><em></em></a></p>inveracruzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227576156602356795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555954629910351311.post-74189299229019394542008-01-03T21:58:00.000-08:002013-01-31T23:33:45.493-08:00SPIEGEL WORLD: FEATURING RAPHAELLE BOITEL & FRIENDS<p>Just saw this show the other night; truly magnificent work by all the performers. The entire presentation, atmosphere and scene sketches are superb and a joy to watch. Warning, it is a very interactive show, but definitely not to be missed by all family members and close friends. Don't miss it. The circus like cabaret fun house lasts about two hours and very worth the tickets.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGT7Zuw1pZHn_7RD2ydV9HTeIwzlrpxcpUD2qlLDki1KLm6XRIu3lynmNfxXKtcOIqQ7YydPmbOUrGgtSqMTGiLms19qI97Tgx-uHMa75D9zxqyRoO2H7jhQ3k4Tik8gjHA6E_-X0Q-g4/s1600-h/Raphaelle+Boitel+Spiegel+World+025.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGT7Zuw1pZHn_7RD2ydV9HTeIwzlrpxcpUD2qlLDki1KLm6XRIu3lynmNfxXKtcOIqQ7YydPmbOUrGgtSqMTGiLms19qI97Tgx-uHMa75D9zxqyRoO2H7jhQ3k4Tik8gjHA6E_-X0Q-g4/s400/Raphaelle+Boitel+Spiegel+World+025.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5151668213001868050" /></a><br /><br />Welcome to Spiegelworld… the world's most beautiful travelling venue.<br /><br />With its opulent decor of mirrors and brocade, the intimate 350 seat Spiegeltent is the venue for two of the hottest shows in town, Absinthe and Gazillionaire’s Late Nite Lounge, plus an incredible line-up of live music acts from around the world as you've never seen them before.<br /><br />With breathtaking views, sit back with a cocktail at sunset in our Green Fairy Garden, snuggle up in a booth at The Raleigh Oasis Restaurant, and after the show, dance under the stars with our eclectic DJ sessions, every Tuesday to Sunday night.<br /><br />Spiegelworld's cabaret show, Absinthe, is just steps down the beach at Collins Park.

Profits from the sales will be delivered directly to the school by Suitman himself.<br /><br />11"x17" Ink Jet Prints on Archival Paper/100% cotton/40% polyester+60% cotton.<br /><br />For more information please contact the <strong><em><a href="http://www.elsewherecommunities.blogspot.com/young@suitman.org">Suitman</a></em></strong>.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN1l_eMEqNKtlewuEhXVaXvRnXCOsjVKeuSiDdEUcsDxGY5pMjGMcenoKZm87xJEHrjxK96jYbJPcQWfH_GHyhqp5aGIs2xWdAjog_OaWiiui9N-HfzfJl9LEuQ9Sq2xuK-3DQllgiyXY/s1600-h/Suit+crew.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132390567087508802" style="DISPLAY: block;

Straying from the figurative work for which he is best known—namely large-scale gallery and street installations that have attracted both national and international audiences—Kinsey takes cues from the current cultural climate to examine the intersection between the urban landscape and the human condition. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjWS7wiYlJlkVObUxB50GYz0ncQs1oHT7iwr1dE3v8EaYE-R1H5DR436BbOeMt4q1omHAECqof2zhUTCz-cGEp-NtIqj0By7JaGtdCTrcyuj7Fv8Bg2s6R6j4yNMRsm4NQWtyCFHm46ug/s1600-h/found_and_lost.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjWS7wiYlJlkVObUxB50GYz0ncQs1oHT7iwr1dE3v8EaYE-R1H5DR436BbOeMt4q1omHAECqof2zhUTCz-cGEp-NtIqj0By7JaGtdCTrcyuj7Fv8Bg2s6R6j4yNMRsm4NQWtyCFHm46ug/s400/found_and_lost.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120298297602318498" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.blkmrktgallery.com/"><em><strong>Found and Lost</strong></em></a><br /><br /><br />In this new creative space, he examines the point where the abstract and figurative collide and the visual dialogue informed by that impact emerges. And while this new series of mixed media on canvas could be described as an evolution, traces of his signature visual language, in all its gritty and unvarnished glory, have not been abandoned. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdtvUqrjrD3S1VuJPR2Rn2pT4A81YhglMk4FkRvHWNXGviiGVuhWjojktx9kLIqDZRS-NBGejGTWNNuc-GGmoAznVJqOOLorTgoG4hZCYJz06bp4SpVnf0lXeTY8ohdMaC54qnRG5ANiE/s1600-h/momentum.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdtvUqrjrD3S1VuJPR2Rn2pT4A81YhglMk4FkRvHWNXGviiGVuhWjojktx9kLIqDZRS-NBGejGTWNNuc-GGmoAznVJqOOLorTgoG4hZCYJz06bp4SpVnf0lXeTY8ohdMaC54qnRG5ANiE/s400/momentum.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120299070696431794" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.blkmrktgallery.com/"><em><strong>Momentum</strong></em></a><br /><br /><br />“The broken-up graffiti and abstract letterform references represent modern fingerprints of the urban environment,” Kinsey explains, “fragments and pieces act as a dialogue of conversations, identities, and messages.”<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_8DHbdwOK6_B4OWlJSNaUO3wKESZ4svuHMwY0nuk6kP5eG7RIzzlFPityj6tIHr3sgQZO5jhQ6rzUvEy9WD2GJSOFniVY83rFieyVQTlEnCsblItX3y7z-TEl2D33dEfaQ4brb4lc1-U/s1600-h/or_nothing_at_all.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_8DHbdwOK6_B4OWlJSNaUO3wKESZ4svuHMwY0nuk6kP5eG7RIzzlFPityj6tIHr3sgQZO5jhQ6rzUvEy9WD2GJSOFniVY83rFieyVQTlEnCsblItX3y7z-TEl2D33dEfaQ4brb4lc1-U/s400/or_nothing_at_all.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120299878150283458" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.blkmrktgallery.com/"><em><strong>Or nothing at all</strong></em></a><br /><br /><br />As always, Kinsey’s striking visuals urge audiences to take a closer look at the content of their surroundings; more is being asked of the viewer than to simply recognize that they should not blindly accept the circumstances of their existence. There is urgency in these paintings—a sense of restlessness with the world at large. <br /><br />“Apathy seems increasingly common in modern western culture,” Kinsey observes, “There is a general sense that people feel helpless or don't care to engage in issues that affect their lives and the lives of those around them. Consumerism and even modern technology allows for an easy complacency.” <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX1duYAW9xzV6czm1aFl_LTbBQQgTvR4501P1irginC-S1OtpCqA_YZ6XdQVgkyIEPVHWqobicdEnIz8zugISvIycrj-PqQvgkfR3_KZFNH_Rs7zI7cYgJOa6e3fuqJh2HhOuBwgtdTHo/s1600-h/terminal_solipsism.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX1duYAW9xzV6czm1aFl_LTbBQQgTvR4501P1irginC-S1OtpCqA_YZ6XdQVgkyIEPVHWqobicdEnIz8zugISvIycrj-PqQvgkfR3_KZFNH_Rs7zI7cYgJOa6e3fuqJh2HhOuBwgtdTHo/s400/terminal_solipsism.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120300762913546450" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.blkmrktgallery.com/"><em><strong>Terminal Solipsism</strong></em></a><br /><br /><br />Kinsey attacks these notions with thick swaths of black and red paint in wide gestures of movement that engage and bind the figures being depicted, at once suggesting victimization and complicity. Alluding to a not-so-distant heritage, yellowed pages of a vintage book peek out from behind the face of a troubled man; a lone tree is draped in white stars screened in red, bull rope wrapped tight around its trunk; a pair of aged eyes void of pupils stares past the viewer, tragic and abandoned. <br /><br />In addition to paintings on canvas, there will be a site-specific installation of canvases, backs facing forward, further exploring the notion of disconnect and non-resolution. In all, “Sure, Why Not” is an echo and call to reason. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI7IJCisojvaqcNyxzfscPWTehYdvtepg0cYHXB7E9-EG64eCdwd3DQia52EjTcmGcb_1Wi5t-m7KFO4kZWYG-OATD4Ia7S9cnlJuJO4UA_jUtvKv8ERt14KuzYoi6J3OyIXhf8Lr5Pjs/s1600-h/unintended_consequence.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI7IJCisojvaqcNyxzfscPWTehYdvtepg0cYHXB7E9-EG64eCdwd3DQia52EjTcmGcb_1Wi5t-m7KFO4kZWYG-OATD4Ia7S9cnlJuJO4UA_jUtvKv8ERt14KuzYoi6J3OyIXhf8Lr5Pjs/s400/unintended_consequence.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120301454403281122" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.blkmrktgallery.com/"><em><strong>Unintended Consequence</strong></em></a><br /><br /><br />Receiving both national and international acclaim as a fine artist and designer, and exhibiting in galleries stateside and overseas, Kinsey has been featured in publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The London Times, Blackbook, and BLK/MRKT Two.

At 13, she discovered Courteline, a French novelist, and decided to memorize, interpret and direct his play "Peace at home". The success of the performance rooted her decision to pursue this career. Independently from her studies, Natasha was attending College level theater classes.<br /><br />Natasha lived in London, France, Guatemala, and the USA. This gave her the chance to learn and fluently speak French, Spanish and English, though she prefers silence.<br /><br />Upon arrival in Miami, Natasha studied editing with Mark Boswell at the Art Center of Miami Beach. At 16, she was invited to film and interview Miss World Jacqueline Aguilera Marcano and Miss World Guatemala, Maria Gabriela Rosales. Her documentary was awarded and previewed at the Benefit event of "Nuevos Horizontes" in Antigua.<br /><br />Her early experience inspired her to explore the many facets of Production. From Film, to Theatre, she also tackled the Visual Arts in an original way. Inheriting the talents from her mother, Catherine de Saugy, acclaimed European painter, Natasha created in 1999, a psychedelic hand painted clothing collection presented by renown fashion designer Gerry Kelly.<br /><br />She now uses her artistic skills to illustrate her books, create incredible make-up schemes and conceptualize her work through story boards.<br /><br />She was accepted the same year at one of the nation’s top conservatory: New World School of the Arts and graduated with a BFA in the year 2000.<br /><br />Natasha has now written 12 original works, directed 20 plays including her own and is the lead performer of nationally acclaimed performance troupe Circ X, a voice over artist at the premiere voice over studio: The Kitchen, a member of Octavio Campos' Hybrid Theater Company Camposition, has been working on her one person show "Up Wake" commissioned by Miami Light Project and co-commissioned by the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts since 2002. Up Wake World Premiered in Nov/Dec 2006 at the Carnival Center for the Performing Arts with a successful sold out run.

She will be the first to admit the latter. I met Ms. Tsakos in 2000 when Kokoff was still living out of a suitcase; nothing has changed. Tsakos is a diverse talent who has successfully exploded onto the Miami theater scene with a sold out run of her latest production: Up Wake, presented and commissioned by the Miami Light Project and the new Carnival Center for the Performing Arts. A worldwide tour is now in the works. Dean Jorge Guerra of the New World School of the Arts has commented: “Better than Ionesco….,” and Octavio Roca of the Miami New Times says, “Tsakos is like a female Bill Irwin, or like Marcel Marceau on ecstasy.”<br /><br /><br /><strong>RP: </strong>Where is Kokoff the clown?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> Kokoff is in my closet, with Marceau, my cat. (Kokoff also secretly advises Zero... shhhhhhh... it’s our secret)<br /><br /><strong>RP:</strong> Natasha, your performance world is infinitely at play. Tell us about that explosive chain of moments when you’re on the stage. Is it still a child like game for you to access your imagination or is it different now?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> A child. me </span><span style="color:#33cc00;">hihihihihihihihihihihihihoiahahahahahahahahahaahhohohohhoho</span><span style="color:#33cc00;">Hohohohhhihihihihihhhhhhhhhhhohoihohhhhhhahahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahahahgigglegigglegigglegigglggiglgiglgiglgiglgiglgighihihihihihihihih.... ...yes, more than ever...<br /><br /><strong>RP:</strong> What inspires you?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> Life. Dreams. Beauty. Greatness. And all that exists beyond our wildest dreams.<br /><br /><strong>RP:</strong> How has traveling influenced your creative life?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> The physical travels? Or the mental travels? (I have many reward points for the last ones.)</span> </p><p align="left"><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"><strong>RP:</strong> You studied editing with Mark Boswell. He was also a professor of mine at the Alliance Film & Video Co-op on Lincoln Road – Miami Beach. At the time of my meeting him in 1993 he was preparing to shoot his super 8mm extravaganza: <a href="http://www.novakino.com/novakino/novakinofilms.htm"><strong><em>The Subversion Agency</em></strong></a>.

Any anecdotes?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> My memory works in a strange emo-synthesis process, a sort of consumption-absorption- to-sensation metamorphosis (without the psychological weight). Mark Boswell: Hmmmm.... I remember: gray- hair- spiky- American- cool- far- creative - mission.<br /><br /><strong>RP:</strong> What films were you watching at the time? Any influences there?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> My life was one... still is!<br /><br /><strong>RP:</strong> You made a documentary after your film studies. Is this field a further pursuit of yours? What have been some of your experiences working outside the theater? Filmmaking on your horizon?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> We are currently making a documentary about the making of Up Wake, which consists of 4 years worth of footage, and will be submitting it to Sundance next year. Yes, I am interested in all realms of Human Inventions: Architecture, Science, Physics, Philosophy and the Study of Pink Elephants.<br /><br /><strong>RP:</strong> You are currently preparing for a world tour of UPWAKE. Will this start mainly in the U.S? Tell us about the upcoming schedule and places you’ll visit?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> UP WAKE has been voted Best Performance of the Year by South Florida's Sunpost. After a successful sold out run at the </span><a href="http://www.carnivalcenter.org/"><span style="color:#33cc00;">Carnival Center</span></a><span style="color:#33cc00;"> (2nd largest Performing Arts Center in the Nation) UP WAKE will be touring </span><a href="http://www.fit.gob.mx/2007/inicio.htm"><span style="color:#33cc00;">Mexico</span></a><span style="color:#33cc00;"> in 2 weeks and has been invited to Asia's and India’s Largest Festival of Technology on January 08.

Currently negotiating Europe and my Moon Tour. Of course….<br /><br /><strong>RP:</strong> What is the writing process like for you? Does it start with an abstract idea? Where do you write?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> When I write, I don’t write. The hand, finds the pen, the pen finds the hand, the fingers hold on, on holds the finger, the mind leaves, and all is suddenly better. When I am conscious of what I write, that’s when I know it is not worth writing. Right?<br /><br /><strong>RP:</strong> What are some of the themes you have explored through playwriting and why?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> I love inventing language, re-de-un-structure grammar, tease our sacred orthography<br />and confuse myself immensely. I take great pleasure in sensical nonsenseness. Truth. Absurdity. Fool. Lunacy. These are words I may leave intact in the dictionary.<br /><br /><strong>RP:</strong> Which are your favorite playwrights/writers?<br /><br /><strong>NT: </strong>Edmond Rostand, Eric Emmanuel Schmidt, Christian Bobin, Antoine de Saint Exupery....<br /><br /><strong>RP:</strong> What is storytelling to you?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> ...If you please: Draw me a Sheep.<br /><br /><strong>RP:</strong> The Up Wake journey, what has it been like? Where did ZERO come from?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> Up Wake is still a Journey. Wonderful, Exhilarating and Magical. A great process, with amazing collaborators, deeply moving audience, and a fantastic roofless twilight school of ethics, imagination, spine, value and friendships.<br /><br />ZERO comes from void and infinity. From the need to de-segragate and de-genderize ourselves, Zero is the pure form of a little, simple and vulnerable individual struggling to go from point A to B while an amalgam of frequencies interfere, elevate and distract him. Zero is the Little Prince of the 21st Century, a corporate clown, a simply delightful creature of hope and humanity. The perfect image of you and me.<br /><br /><strong>RP:</strong> Production wise, behind the scenes, who are some of the key talented people on this great show?<br /><br /><strong>NT:</strong> There are 19 people behind the Up Wake 3D curtain! Waow.... where do credits begin? I mean can I include my door who cried one morning, and the minuscule seahorse that rides a unicycle on the electric wire outside my window? Alright...<br /><br />If you insist:<br /><br />Octavio Campos (Co-Director, Choreographer)<br />Nathan Rausch / ZendeN Multimedia (Sound Designer)<br />The Lavoisier X-Perience (Original Tailor-Made Music)<br />Ray Aloy (3D Animator)<br />George Delacadena (3D Animator)<br />Melissa Camic (3D Animator)<br />Oscar Baracaldo (3D Animator)<br />Shattered Images Animation Studio (3D animation studio / Up Wake part II animation)<br />Travis Neff (Lighting Designer / Production Stage Manager)<br />Carolina Pagani (Production Coordinator, Installation Artist, Set Designer, Photographer)<br />Gerry Kelly (Haute Couture Costume Design)<br />Tammy Apóstol (Haute Couture Costume Design)<br />M.

Together we create worlds of wonder, reverie and contemplation.<br /><br />Theater is the listener of my passions, my dreams and my absurdities.<br /><br />Sometimes the Musician of Life takes the simple instrument that I am and composes… At that moment, time is lost and I am found. At that moment, I know that my life is not a notion but a feeling that I experience.<br /><br />Theater is intimate, personal yet universal. It is a mean of communication and we must use it to change and inspire Society.<br /><br />No, theater is not dying. Theater is too comfortable, too rich and too corrupted, that is the truth.<br />As a believer of life, hope and humanity, I will keep questioning. I will keep making you dream. I will keep provoking you, the audience, the reader, so You can also reanimate values lost amongst Mediocrity and save what was one the ultimate of refinement.<br /><br />Should the street be my only stage, so will I make it the best stage, and you, my best listeners.<br /><br />Theater is not show business nor simple entertainment. Theater is poor, ugly, hard, profound and beautiful… I am not looking for fame or money, these elements are superficial, selfish and limited.<br /><br />So I shall continue walking on that path alone, toward the light that justifies the sweat, the tears, the disappointments and the moments of joy, finding great minds and souls and sharing a world of purity.<br /><br /><strong><em><a href="http://www.natashatsakos.com/"><span style="color:#33cc00;">Natasha Tsakos</span></a></em></strong><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5wVN_BwUkY"><span style="color:#33cc00;">Watch Natasha's amazing performance show, UPWAKE on YouTube.</span></a><span style="color:#33cc00;"> </span></p><br /></span><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/E5wVN_BwUkY"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="/web/20080527042331oe_/http://www.youtube.com/v/E5wVN_BwUkY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>inveracruzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11227576156602356795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555954629910351311.post-77960631949115808762007-09-28T15:32:00.000-07:002013-01-31T23:33:45.527-08:00PEOPLE: STEFAN RUIZ<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYa8de2sutuhhyDGZjO7XgoKJP4Bb7uwgdBt3N3Y3D6dI-uXYBfvfP3tMSHLaUwobfFIwPVlllE3A_CgrL58vGunqZKJIEf5PMcfSzbaT7adblTDrVGqHavLHTaIh1bF9CaH3N89rRA2k/s1600-h/%C2%A9+Stefan+Ruiz,+from+the+exhibition+The+Factory+of+Dreams,+2005..jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115327006101183730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYa8de2sutuhhyDGZjO7XgoKJP4Bb7uwgdBt3N3Y3D6dI-uXYBfvfP3tMSHLaUwobfFIwPVlllE3A_CgrL58vGunqZKJIEf5PMcfSzbaT7adblTDrVGqHavLHTaIh1bF9CaH3N89rRA2k/s400/%C2%A9+Stefan+Ruiz,+from+the+exhibition+The+Factory+of+Dreams,+2005..jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><em>Actress, Yadhira Carrillo © Stefan Ruiz, from the exhibition The Factory of Dreams, 2005.</em><br /><br /><br />Stefan Ruiz was born in San Francisco, California. He studied painting and sculpture at UC Santa Cruz and spent one year studying painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, Italy. After graduation, he travelled to West Africa to document Islam’s influence on traditional West African art. As a result, Ruiz began specializing in photography and applied his experience as a painter to his photography. On returning to California, he began showing the photos he had taken while in Africa. This resulted in a grant from The Color Purple Scholarship Foundation to pursue his independent work.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7zX3jXUpsrpJuQiXZOrrff_PL-bE739sGmtaMA3tvFJ2zn2uWJ3Rt9saQ83SSnx9-3hu-Vwh53HzOFT45MU2vgLsacg8dNpJnIsdLHMNt-9BsX_D9IGYF46ZQpJxK-u_TKfKV9qc3kQI/s1600-h/KAZAKH.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115328084137975074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7zX3jXUpsrpJuQiXZOrrff_PL-bE739sGmtaMA3tvFJ2zn2uWJ3Rt9saQ83SSnx9-3hu-Vwh53HzOFT45MU2vgLsacg8dNpJnIsdLHMNt-9BsX_D9IGYF46ZQpJxK-u_TKfKV9qc3kQI/s400/KAZAKH.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><em>Kazakh Portraits</em><br /><br /><br />At this time, he also began seven years of teaching art to the inmates from the main line and on death row at San Quentin State Prison. In addition to teaching, he began shooting portraits for magazines. He has now been photographing professionally for 12 years.

It’s also a portfolio of work by an emerging photographer, with a distinct and original way of seeing the world and of making photographs.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiglvL0VNuKeAbHBU0PnOZR-moVYW0J1bEV1k6xNwe2pBs83ycJLRwpTDCc_SXpQ2SBKToN_Y5z0rJyV-A6fhwNGdQlvvFYe112trZo9G46O2GtzUIaQQMpgwDJH3me3ryvA-L6iXfcRHA/s1600-h/BOOK.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115329741995351378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiglvL0VNuKeAbHBU0PnOZR-moVYW0J1bEV1k6xNwe2pBs83ycJLRwpTDCc_SXpQ2SBKToN_Y5z0rJyV-A6fhwNGdQlvvFYe112trZo9G46O2GtzUIaQQMpgwDJH3me3ryvA-L6iXfcRHA/s400/BOOK.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Bodies of work from diverse places and locations – from a Rwandan refugee camp to Birmingham in Britain’s West Midlands, a Cuban asylum to a dance hall in Mexico City – are sequenced into a single essay, linked by Ruiz’s singular aesthetic point of view, his preoccupations with issues of racial and physical identity, his particular identification with people’s vulnerability, and with details of his own autobiography.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiT3KUsN66Ov0coRxMnX6k_mH83zbcJIOdM_lQCd2Fay59eX7djGcGCe3KakiMkbeUd4qp5lKw4ebu-DoXtCpDsxkxbrApg9pnXwe9oC8JC7mTR2hPfh3AOMzQLOVVBKZ1iLPMgupYbsc/s1600-h/Merv+Griffin.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115332924566117730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiT3KUsN66Ov0coRxMnX6k_mH83zbcJIOdM_lQCd2Fay59eX7djGcGCe3KakiMkbeUd4qp5lKw4ebu-DoXtCpDsxkxbrApg9pnXwe9oC8JC7mTR2hPfh3AOMzQLOVVBKZ1iLPMgupYbsc/s400/Merv+Griffin.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><em>Merv Griffin</em><br /><br />These are raw and edgy photographs in which people reveal themselves. They are often uplifting, certainly beautiful, yet we often feel we are on the edge of madness. It seems clear that Ruiz identifies with his subjects, even when he displays a trace of irony (for instance in his portraits of participants in the Texan Miss Rodeo contest), yet they are never exploitative. His ability to make pictures that show sincere respect, yet that manage to be so revealing, is a central characteristic of his talents. He has conjured a world that is uniquely his own.<br /><br />The book deals with several themes, all rooted in his own story. Born in California of Mexican and Italian parents, he is torn between the perspectives of a Mexican underclass and the classical values of old world Europe. A key figure – even though Ruiz doesn’t tell us much about him – is his grandfather Leo. The first photograph in the book (and the earliest photograph included) is a portrait of Leo, and the last is a portrait of him in his coffin.<br /><br />Stefan Ruiz's pictures reveal the fragility of the "family of man." With photographs of his own family, Mexican soap stars, Cuban mental asylum patients, Texan cowgirls, and Rwandan refugees, among celebrity portraits including Liza Minnelli, James Brown, and Jenna Jameson, this essay is the remarkable first book of a uniquely talented image-maker.<br /><br />Ruiz chooses to shoot on a large format 5”x4” plate camera, which imposes formality and the discipline of carefully composing each shot.

His technical photographic method was to go out almost every morning, walk the city he lived in and take numerous pictures. He then spent almost every afternoon making proof prints of that day's best negatives. Yet, for all his photographic activity, Callahan, at his own estimation, produced no more than half a dozen final images a year.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCKhVUO4npHebWK4OBtsuShxnqWvjpziXOcEOWz0RTO4O1pliHEGGIIaCL_Q66tYeAv854kGS5AL8kW8pXadV3lYGqSN71wj_6M0dxHxQJtr9cxp2c7Ea80i-C3rHYCm0KVDnZrrtUoOc/s1600-h/ATLANTA+1985.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCKhVUO4npHebWK4OBtsuShxnqWvjpziXOcEOWz0RTO4O1pliHEGGIIaCL_Q66tYeAv854kGS5AL8kW8pXadV3lYGqSN71wj_6M0dxHxQJtr9cxp2c7Ea80i-C3rHYCm0KVDnZrrtUoOc/s400/ATLANTA+1985.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114893545116769442" /></a><br /><em>Atlanta 1985</em><br /><br /><br />He photographed his wife, Eleanor, and daughter, Barbara, and the streets, scenes and buildings of cities where he lived, showing a strong sense of line and form, and light and darkness. He also worked with multiple exposures. Callahan's work was a deeply personal response to his own life. He was well known to encourage his students to turn their cameras on their lives, and he led by example. Even as he did this he was not sentimental, romantic or emotional. Callahan illustrated the centrality of Eleanor in his life by his continual return to her over 15 years as his prime subject -- she was subject more than model -- but the images are not about who she was, what she did, what she thought as an individual. Callahan's art was a long meditation on the possibilities of photography as it might be used playfully, but not naively.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji6sxhi5MQ8Te9evEIf2b6bZkmb1C5IzrQsDXAN1NMnkjZ8vE5Ha_Iw5PxVse0JjNs4KLy2PWicafBn1N5ah4OMYBqrZY1JjnZzVhPorehCZ5M0RT485JIe0TTyzlaHLtLnPXpXfLdPFY/s1600-h/UNTITLED%235.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji6sxhi5MQ8Te9evEIf2b6bZkmb1C5IzrQsDXAN1NMnkjZ8vE5Ha_Iw5PxVse0JjNs4KLy2PWicafBn1N5ah4OMYBqrZY1JjnZzVhPorehCZ5M0RT485JIe0TTyzlaHLtLnPXpXfLdPFY/s400/UNTITLED%235.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114894008973237426" /></a><br /><em>Untitled#5</em><br /><br /><br />Eleanor was essential to his art from 1947 to 1960.
