Lady Chatterley’s Lover by David Herbert Lawrence

Mónica Boixeda Florentine, Only-Be

“Lady Chatterley´s Lover” is an exquisite work of erotic literature of the Modern Age, which was written by the English author David Herbert (D.H.) Lawrence during the last few years of his life. It caused a great commotion when it was published for the first time in 1928 privately in the city of Florence. But Lawrence consecrated himself as a renown author a few years after his death (1885-1930) when in 1960 they published this novel around the world and, especially, in his native England. From then on, the works of Lawrence were incorporated to the literary lectures as an example of novelty and enthusiasm for art. Although he never stopped being a controverted author, various writers from that time gave him supports, such as Aldous Huxley, who contributed to the publishing of his works. But also, many others loathed his works, such as the feminist Virginia Woolf, who accused Lawrence of being a misogynist. Today, the novel “Lady Chatterley´s Lover” is one of the most important pieces of erotic literature and it still remains in force after all these years. It´s about a young and beautiful woman, Constanza, who is married to a aristocratic, paraplegic, multimillionaire. Her, thirsty for new sensations, explores her sexuality by the hand of an employee of her husband, the forester. With him, she lives the most magnificent sexual acts that anyone could imagine and it´s all described to the very last detail, which makes it very interesting and exciting for the readers. d.b The story happens in the Italian city of Florence, because that´s where the author lived for a few years and... read more

Mónica Boixeda Only-Be, Venetian

Until November 24th the exhibition Tra- Edge of Becoming presents itself in the Palazzo Fortuny, organized by the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia and the Axel Vervoordt Foundation, which is about the legacy of Mariano Fortuny, which will be represented in the work of 13 artists and over 300 works which belong to the museum. Just like the three previous exhibitions, this one takes the legacy of the Spanish designer, photographer and inventor Mariano Fortuny, the wabi-inspired experiences of the art collector Axel Vervoordt, added to the thoughts of the economist and writer of the book The Future of Money, Bernard Lietaer, as well as those of the scientist Eddie Wolf, to create a total experience that puts aesthetics, science and thought together, so that the spectator can see the world through the pleasure of art and the knowledge of sciences. The commissioners of the exhibition, Rose Martínez, Daniela Ferretti, Axel Vervoordt and Francisco Poli, built a whole conceptual architecture to give its name to the exhibition, playing with the inverse reading of ART: TRA, which corresponds to the concept of the design of the exhibition. Tra- Edge of Becoming explores the existing relationships between place and history and how the affect the creative heritage of universal wisdom. Among the exhibitors here there is the Serbian artist Marina Abramovic, the Japanese conceptual artist Kazuo Shiraga, Eduardo Chillida and Fernand Léger. Among the artists that prepared a work which is exclusive to this exhibition there is: Massimo Bartolini, Jannis Kounellis, Maurizio Donzelli, Giulio Paolini, Kim Soo-Ja, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Günther Uecker. The Serbian conceptual artist Marina Abramovic,... read more
