I am fascinated by the Photo Project Dancers Among Us. Since 2009, photographer Jordan Matter creates pictures of professional dancers in everyday situations everywhere around America. The images are not digital manipulated, but a result of hard training. In 2013 the work will also be published as a book. Look at the control of the […]
When I had to decide for a topic in this weeks Arts and Books category, my first thought was, „That’s too tough a decision to make. There were just too many great Artists in the 1920s.“ But then I realised that it is really simple because a great number of them were members of the

„Fromm is the Hesse among the philosophers.“ (M.) During the last weeks, I heard a lot impressive statements about psychologist and social philosopher Erich Fromm (1900-1980). These and the ever discuss-worthy questions about love in general (and in very specific cases) made me curious enough to finally read Fromms most prominent work „The Art of

I told you before that I don’t have many idols when it is about music. Talking about Art, the contrary is the case. I am smitten by a bunch of graphic designers, fascinated by not just a few painters and please, don’t let me start with photographers… Or maybe it is time to start now.
Today only a short Arts post – I found these pictures with people either doing or looking at Art through Miss Moss‘ pinterest pinboard. They are fascinating, don’t you think? Like always: All credits appear after clicking the links.

Here are my mini-reviews (alphabetical order): Delirium by Lauren Oliver: What happens if everyone thinks that love is a disease…I wrote already about it and can’t wait for the follow-up book Pandemonium in March 2012. Die Kunst kein Egoist zu sein by

I planned to prepare this post about the clear trend in Arts I just realised to use thread, but the Jealous Curator obviously was faster than me. Nevertheless, I still wanted to show you a few examples here. I really like this development since it gives the pictures/installations this certain unexpected twist… Have fun! Amanda
It took me a few weeks to read „The Corrections“ by american writer Jonathan Franzen (published in 2001), a novel about five Midwestern anxiety-ridden family members set in the late 1990th. There are the parents, Enid (an obsessive wife and mother) and Alfred (the stern patriarch battling Parkinson’s‘ induced dementia) as well as their three

There’s a trend in photography I just realised when I revisited my bookmarks labeled „art“. Obviously, it is really fun to remake old photos, album covers (…ok, with CATS!) or paintings. I think it’s really inspirational. So, what should I recycle by photography? Give me your ideas – the best one I promise to realise
