Barcelona Tattoo Expo 2011
Over the 30th of September, and the 1st and 2nd of October 2011, the 14th edition of the Tattoo Expo takes place in Barcelona, at the Farga in Hospitalet de Llobregat. This year, the program is full of new additions and exclusives; “street” zone, competitions, piercings, art, dance, fashion, seminars and much more will be transforming the Barcelona venue over the three days. Pin-ups, professionals, and anyone who loves tattoos; acclaimed tattoo artists, tourists, young people and older ones are all welcome to the international festival of tattoo. Talking about tattoos is also to talk about music, fashion styles and trends, graffiti, sports, performance, accessories and endless other things. Knowing that countries like the United States, Greece, Tahiti, Brazil, Japan, China, Mexico and Germany will all be represented at the fair with a number of experts, a variety of differing styles and influences – it cannot fail to be a success. When I think of the word tattoo, I remember the works of Belgium artist Wim Delvoye, the medical laser procedures to remove the ink, the day that a Spanish friend showed me her forearm, with the phrase “Music moves the soul” tattooed in German, and with a Lucida Handwriting style typeface – and I think about the two blue points my step-father got done on his wrist whilst in the army. Nothing to do with the sophisticated stuff people put on their skin every day. During the Barcelona Tattoo Expo, body art is always like a competition which is ongoing – the visitors are invited to participate in the free categories, or be a part of the jury....Dry Martini Bar Barcelona

Joan Colom in Barcelona
Until 29th October the Colectania Foundation in Barcelona displays the works of one of the most influential Catalan photographers of the ´50s and ´60s, Joan Colom. The photos were bought by the Colectania Foundation in 2004 from the gallery owner and art critic Joseph Maria Casademontwas. No doubt, pphotography is one of the most effective ways of recording historical eventsa as well as everyday life through fashion, objects, postural positions, landscapes etc.,. This is one of et main reasons why the photographic archives are so appreciated both by the historians and art lovers. Colom’s pictures reflect a peculiar time of the Barcelona neighborhood Raval, known as Barrio Chino. Colom was a master in capturing everyday life of marginal part of society. He managed to carry out a true social chronicle of a neighbourhood then famous only for its prostitution. The pictures stand out for an unbelievable realism. This is quite impressive if we consider that Colom took the picture in a very discrete way and that most of the times he had to hide the camera. Even though he was able to portrait the Raval’s society and transmit through the pictures the both the misery of an era as well as a poetical innocence reflected in children’s portraits Hi spictures are also poetic and able to provoke oa nostalgia of a disappeared Barcelona, with streets and architecture that do not exist anymore, and a small-town beauty that is only in the individual memory and in these amazing photographs. Joan Colom was born in Barcelona in 1921. He studied accounts and began in a self-taught photography in the 50´s. In...Heliogábal Barcelona
