The Beauty of Failure / The Failure of Beauty

La Belleza del Fracaso / El Fracaso de la Belleza

Temporary exhibition in Foundation Joan Miro in Montjuich Barcelona

This exhibition does not not celebrate art in its pure state. Since artists were set free – after the French Revolution and the German Romantic Movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries – they had to be God. And the same applies to all the claims of utopias that failed to materialise. The exhibition attempts to visualise this dilemma under several headings.

This photo was taken in Room 12 (the last one) : Hell without artists by Toumin and the failure of beauty using Michael Jackson as an example.

The Lesson : Listen to yourselves, your bodies and the artists.

Para las personas que hablan espanol, la nota esta traducida en espanol, para leerla, basta con utilizar el link "French". Es un poco raro pero no encontré otra solucion ya que el site TL no existe en version espanola.

« Better to reign in Hell, than to serve in Heaven » En partant, les infos relatives aux expositions, musées etc. en Espagne sont normalement en quelles langues, espagnol et anglais? - C'est Michael Jackson qui doit être content!!! Quelle 'failure' en effet, mais au moins sur la photo il a encore son bout de nez tombé depuis. Ta photo est bien équilibrée, comme divisée en deux parties par l'angle du mur. Bien joué, tout comme pour la lumière. - J'essaie de bien appliquer la leçon. Merci Sylvie.

J'aime bien, ta photo, il y a plein de choses à voir, d'abord le grand mur à droite (belle couleur), les gens "attentifs", le visage de Mickael (très bien mis en scène) et enfin la porte avec la lumière du jour.
Pour la compo, il y a une petite agitation en haut dans le coin qui m'ennuie un peu. Mais bon, c'est une belle ambiance tellement différente du Tate.
féliciations

ps) sans le contexte judiciaire de l'affaire Mickael, on aurait pu donner le titre suivant "la beauté du diable"

Sylive,

For me this is not only has interesting content (the exhibit itself, and in particular the quote) but also reminds me of the wonderful feeling of going to a really good exhibit at a gallery (large or small, government-funded or private). It's not your most "artistic" photo, but it evokes the artistic spirit that you obviously have yourself and value in others.

My personal favourite show, by the way (so far at least; you never know what will come along later) was one called Ultrabaroque, which focused on what it called "post-Latin American" art. Some utterly FANTASTIC artists, from scultptors to painters and photographers. You can find a small web page here, and please notice that there's a link at the bottom where you can buy the program from the show. Whatever they're charging for it now, it's worth it. And pretty well anyone who was part of this show is well worth checking out.

Regards,
Lee
