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....Madame Baguette Rome
As its name indicates, its speciality is the preparation of sophisticated dishes with the already internationalized French bread, the baguette, as a base.
Pier Paolo Pasolini, the second Italian neorealism
Pier Paolo Pasolini was born in Bologna in 1922. He began writing his first poems when he was 7, inspired by the beauty of Casarsa, the town where he lived at that age. The symbolist Rimbaud was perhaps one of his early influences. Due to the fact that he devoted his life to literature, journalism and filmmaking, Pasolini was a difficult-to-catalog, as well as too versatile artist. In his life, he was involved with the Communist Party, despite disagreements with its various factions; he compared the official Marxism with Catholicism, calling them the “two churches.” No doubt his political ideals, his intellectual stereotype of anti-consumerist and anti-clerical, together with his extremely high subversive potential and his open homosexuality linked with certain minor scandals, had led many detractors and enemies. In 1943 he is called to the army. In 1945, his brother Guido, with whom he had a very strong bond, is murdered by anti-fascists. This murder is used to put him on the cover of certain newspapers, which rapidly spread the news: the brother of a communist assassinated by Communists. After a few minor scandals, Pasolini with his mother left the region of Friuli to travel to Rome. His first years there were hardness, poor and loneliness. Among his writings in poetry stands out, “Gramsci´s Ashes”, “The religion of my time,” “The Nightingale of the Catholic Church”, “Poetry as a Rose.” In rehearsal, “Teorema”, “Passion and Ideology”, “About the dialectical poetry.” And among his novels “A violent life”, “Women in Rome”, “Orgy”, “Calderón” and “Boys in the street.” He started being a film director and screenwriter in 1961 with...Alexander Platz Club Rome
