MATO'S B-DAY GREETINGS:

¡Te deseo toda la felicidad en este día especial!

¡Salud! J.&N.

THREE YEARS

Time goes by so fast… this blog turns three today. To celebrate, I've picked four pictures thinking of each one of us. Wish you all (including AGDO) a wonderful life!!

... ONCE AGAIN WE MEET ;-)

... and in just a few hours we will know whether we will witness a great soccer match or a thrilling boxing fight ;-)

However this should be just great: Cold beer plus 34°C plus weekend plus a football classic!

So we pretty much hope you will find some decent time to watch the game too!

Good luck, enjoy, cheers, olé oléeeeeeee, trööööööööööööööt (sound of a vuvuzela) ...

THE LIGHTS LOOK LIKE A BIG BANG!

Buenos Aires says: ¡Feliz 2010!
Thanks to you all for 2009 at OSAD! Welcome 2010!, it's also nice to live a somewhat fresh start!, as in a Big Bang.
As you sort of know already I cannot contribute here from now on. As you reckon too, we'll stay in touch!, one way or another we'll share something, on a different way!!.
Let's see what the future brings, let's see what we can make of it, let's see that combination! Wish you all the best!
¡Un abrazo!

CONGRAT'S EVERYBODY!

22 August 2008 – the day we started this!

Thank you all for bringing this forth with all your contributions, ideas, shouts and love! It has been so much fun to me!

Looking forward to our next anniversary,

N.

GRAFFITI... SOME MORE.

Found them around town... the four previous were better...

4 4 N

For N, four artforms found on the street.

TODAY

A star was born...! hope he gets everything he needs, love, friends..., and maybe a house downtown too with a car, and a telephone number so we can call.

4 4 J

For Jule, four air-swimmers from yesterday's sky.

TODAY

Sunrise this morning on my window... looks like it's winter eh!? It's a cold sunny day here.
Today it's a warm nice day in history: it's somebody's birthday, beginning with J... :)

TRAVELLER MUNNY

COMING...

Have a nice weekend!

SHOW ME THE MUNNY

Your munny was intended to travel back, prepared to be constructed and deconstructed several times within the group. But maybe 'cause of trendy and spreading grippe diseases it seemed quite reasonable to keep it around here for a while... so it's coming to OSAD, meet mad-mummy-travelling-munny, monday morning!

PHOTO EXPO

Yesterday was a great (rainy) day to visit an amazin' photo exhibition on photographers such as Gursky, Struth, Hütte, Höfer, and Ruff, on their work on »Urban Spaces« (click for more). Impressive huuuuge montages, suprising perspectives on those spaces, with such clever thinking! and... well, outstanding photography, that says it all!.
It's displayed at a recently redesigned museum on the Buenos Aires district of La Boca, an appropriately modern place for displaying art, even though it seems cold to me when empty. The district around it is a traditional part of town, near the harbour area. Pictures here do not show much of it, but well, I leave something out now so that I have something else for next time!!

SELK'NAM EXPO

I had the chance to visit a photo-documentary exposition on Selk'nam aboriginals, some of the original people living in Fireland, the southernmost tip of this continent, before foreigners came. Fascinating portraits, photos and documents on their culture!. But what always surprises me is seeing how different people see life similarly, in one way or another. No matter how far away in time or space they might live (or they might have lived), the essence remains. So what is foreign really? What is really not? Is there a clear division? No, everything's related. I say. However, this is nothing new, there's something called globalisation, right? Yeap. So. Today, fortunately enough Selk'nam culture survives through the last direct descendants and this kind of exhibits. The display is now over, but if interested, you might still be able to have a glimpse »here«. ¡Saludos!

HMHMHMM!

CYCLE-EATING...

A free and abundant grocery, open 24hs a day... at home. Basil in this case (growing a mandarin orange tree would be great but some property owners might complain...) ¡Saludos!

RECYCLING ON...

An old blue jean that will later become part of a painting (if it should ever be called painting...)

PULSE

This week's search at »panorama« has to do with an object and desire. A love&damage pulse?, maybe. ¡Saludos!

JUST FOR FUN, FOUR

Some long long time ago, I enjoyed looking at the magazine's back cover of World (from Nat Geo's), showing a number of closeup texture images for one to guess what they were...¡saludos!
