Michelangelo Buonarroti, La Cappella Sistina, Musei Vaticani, Roma, 1508-1512

Named after Pope Sixtus IV, the Sistine Chapel is perhaps the most famous chapel in the world. It is renowned both for its function as the Papal Conclave and for its incredible artwork. The ceiling and western wall of the Sistine Chapel are adorned with some of the most astonishing paintings in the world created by the famous artist. The middle section depicts nine stories from the Book of Genesis, including the renowned ‘Creation of Adam’ where the hand of God is seen reaching to Adam to instill him with life. Despite being one of the most celebrated works of art in history, Michelangelo was originally hesitant to paint the ceiling of the chapel for he considered himself as more of a sculptor than a painter.

 Claude Monet, Impression, Sunrise

This work was painted at Le Havre in 1873. It was one of the nine works that he showed at the First Impressionist Exhibition of 1874. Of all those displayed there, this is probably the most famous picture, not so much because of any crucial status within Monet’s oeuvre, but rather for the criticism it attracted from the reviewers, which gave rise to the name of the movement.

Ivana Kobilica, Oton Župančič, 1922

O, da mi je priti do svoje podobe! / Da bi jo zagledal jasno pred seboj! // Mračna je znotraj v meni mračnem, / vsega prešinja me, vsega prebada, / razprezajoča se v svojo rast… / In navznoter jo tipljem, / z vsem bitjem, slepec, tipaje, / in rastem ž njeno rastjó, / ž njo vred tavaje, / kam, sam ne vem… // O, da mi je priti do svoje podobe! / Da bi jo zagledal pred seboj! // Glej: Ali ni človek kakor drevo, ki bi raslo iz svojega semena, iz svoje srede na štiri strani… / pa ga bije vihar / in mu veje kodrá in krivenči, / da izgreši svoje štiri smeri / in ne more do svoje podobe? … // O, da mi je priti do svoje podobe! / Da bi jo zagledal pred seboj! // Je: kdor je šel od konca s smerjó, / kdor sméri ostàl je do kraja zvest // in ves se pognàl je v samo rast: / tak, kadar nazadnje razpnè roké / kot mož, ki se pretegne v dan, / merèč tkanino večnih sanj, / pokaže nam svojo podobo: križ… // O, da nam je priti do svoje podobe, / i meni i tebi, narod moj!

Nina Lindgren, Cardboard Heaven

“I use almost exclusively used cardboard. I collect it from the recycling center in my apartment building, from stores and sometimes I find it on the street. I really appreciate the sustainable, earth friendly aspect of reusing a recyclable material. Cardboard also has a lot of expressions. It varies in thickness, hue, color, texture. A bunch of cardboard means so many possibilities to me, when it to others may just be rubbish.”                                                                                                                                                                        Interview by The Raw Book

Valoviti karton je matrial, ki mu v resnici ne posvečamo veliko pozornosti. Iz njega je izdelana večina transportne embalaže. Ob nakupu kateregakoli izdelka ovojno embalažo iz kartona običajno zavržemo, ne da bi se zavedali, da gre za izjemno zanimiv material z optimalnimi mehanskimi lastnostmi, ki je večinoma 100% recikliran. Valoviti karton je trajnostni material prihodnosti z majhnim ogljičnim odtisom.

Studio Zimoun

“The components used in Zimoun’s work are simple, functional and raw, whereas only aesthetically high-level and purposefully chosen elements and materials are used in minimalist fashion. Through radical reduction, Zimoun creates works of art which allow for a plethora of associations without being pinned down to a specific direction. Radical abstraction functions rather like a code in the background of things, thus elegantly avoiding an insinuation of direct, concrete attribution.” – Amanda Neumann

Montraker

29. međunarodna studentska kiparska škola

Podno gradića Vrsara na zapadnoj obali Istre smjestio se ljupki poluotok Montraker, a na njemu i stari kamenolom istog imena. Kamenolom, odavno napušten, danas odiše posebnom atmosferom Mediterana i prošlih vremena, a svakog ljeta iznova oživi dinamikom umjetničke kreacije.

Giuseppe Penone, Spazio di Luce /Space of Light (2012)

“La concezione del tempo che ha una farfalla, un fiore, un albero, un animale un uomo, una pietra, una montagna, un fiume, un mare, un continente, un atomo, produce la varietà infinita del pensiero e delle forme dell’universo.”

“The conception of time that has a butterfly, a flower, a tree, an animal, a man, a stone, a mountain, a river, an ocean, a continent, an atom, produces the infinite variety of thought and forms of the universe.”

Metka Krašovec, akvarel, februar, 2009

»Metka Krašovec premore v svojih predalih obilico malih akvarelov, ki nastajajo že leta in so v resnici intimne meditacije na temo. Mali utrinki, pomisleki ali samo vprašanja, ki jih Metka zapisuje na papir. To so hitri zapisi, včasih že kar podzavestni. Človeške figure delujejo skoraj kot grafični znaki, ki plešejo nenavadno koreografijo v breztežnostnem stanju. A vsaka podoba ima svojo jasno likovno sporočilo. Enostavnost potez, s katerimi so upodobljene figure, zapleta govorica teles. Ta je tisti fokus slik, ki jih dela nenavadne in gledalcu zastavlja fine “uganke”. Mogoče celo avtorici sami. Ali pa so to že nekakšni odgovori, ki jih je treba le še dešifrirati. Lahko pa si to serijo slik razlagamo tudi kot izsek iz dnevnika čustev, nekakšen ples duha,« je zapisal likovni urednik Pavle Učakar.
