gertrude stein

na banheira com gertrude stein

gertrude stein tem um bundão chega pra lá gertude stein e quando ela chega pra lá faz um barulhão como se alguém passasse um pano molhado na vidraça enorme de um edifício público

gertrude stein daqui pra cá é você o paninho de lavar atrás da orelha é todo seu daqui pra cá sou eu o patinho de borracha é meu e assim ficamos satisfeitas

mas gertrude stein é cabotina acha graça em soltar pum debaixo d'água eu hein gertrude stein? não é possível que alguém goste tanto de fazer bolha

e aí como a banheira é dela ela puxa a rolha e me rouba a toalha

e sai correndo pelada a bunda enorme descendo a escada e ganhando as ruas de st.germain-de-près

Le Saut dans le vide, Yves Klein

Did you know that Domenico Modugno was inspired by Yves Klein's "Le Saut dans le vide" and his exhibition "Proposition Monochrome; Blue Epoch" to compose the song "Nel blu dipinto di blu"? I'll never look at any of those pieces the same way again, and that just made my day.

Blue Monochrome, Yves Klein

the little black book

My friend who went to India took with him a little black book. On the first page, he wrote instructions on what to do with it: leave a mark, take it somewhere and pass it on. He also left the URL of a blog and a physical address where the it should be returned to once all the pages are filled. Little black book should be somewhere in Germany now. We're hoping whoever comes in contact with it will visit the blog and leave a comment. That's the story of how "traveling with black book" was born.

anycoloryoulike

"TRASH: anycoloryoulike is a vivid art intervention for urban beautification and environmental awareness. The project consists of select city blocks in which new artist-created bags transform standard piles of trash into vivid sculptures of color through the participation of local business owners and residents. Each TRASH bag is 100% biodegradable and naturally scented to repel insects and vermin."
