" Arabic Graffiti & Egyptian Street Art in Frankfurt

Graffiti artists from Egypt, Tunisia and Germany will create a street art gallery from 10th of April around the Tutankhamun exhibition hall in Frankfurt. Some of the best known and most active street artists from Egypt will participate, including Aya Tarek, Ammar Abo Bakr and Ganzeer. El Seed, a street artist from Tunisia whose work has influenced graffiti artists around the Arab world, and Andreas von Chrzanowski aka Case from Germany, who recently did murals in Egypt, complete this distinguished line-up.

Since the start of the Arab uprisings the Middle East has seen an unparalleled explosion of graffiti. Many slogans which were later sung by the people on the streets first appeared on walls from Tunisia to Bahrain. Egypt has played a remarkable role in this phenomenon. Even when the army tanks rolled onto Tahrir Square in Cairo, they were immediately adorned with graffiti. Along with people from all walks of life, artists, calligraphers and designers took over the public space. In no time a vital and now globally acclaimed street art scene emerged."

Siempre presente. San MArtin en la Plaza de Azul

"Azul es una ciudad del centro-este de la provincia de Buenos Aires en la República Argentina, cabecera del partido de Azul. Está ubicada a 299 kilómetros al sudoeste de Buenos Aires. Limita con los partidos de Tandil, Rauch, Olavarría, Tapalqué, Benito Juárez, y Las Flores. Es el centro geográfico de la provincia. Su red vial sirve de conexión con diferentes puntos del país. El clima es templado y húmedo. Se cultivan cereales y se crían bovinos.[1]

Fue fundada como un fuerte por el coronel Burgos cumpliendo una orden de Rosas para frenar el avance de los malones. Fue declarada ciudad en 1895. En la actualidad tiene veintinueve barrios. En 1974 un grupo guerrillero intenta tomar por asalto el cuartel del ejército local y en 1986 un experimento de la Organización Mundial de la Salud con vacas terminó en un escándalo.

Entre los lugares de interés se destacan el Teatro Español y la importante colección de obras de Cervantes que alberga la Casa Ronco, lo que le valió el título de Ciudad Cervantina.
De acuerdo con los últimos censos nacionales, la población pasó de 62.271 habitantes (INDEC, 1991) a 62.996 habitantes (INDEC, 2001). Según estimaciones del INDEC, al 30 de junio de 2009 la población del partido alcanzó los 65.562 habitantes; mientras que para el 30 de junio de 2010 alcanzaría los 65.728 habitantes." Fuente: wikipedia

"Azul is the head city of the Azul Partido, located at the center of the Buenos Aires Province in Argentina, 300 km south of Buenos Aires. It has 63,000 inhabitants as per the 2001 census [INDEC] .

Its principal, goods-producing economic activities are agriculture and the raising of cattle for meat exports. Home to a dynamic services sector, over 2,000 commercial businesses are registered in the city.[1]

The town was founded on December 16, 1832, following Governor Juan Manuel de Rosas' orders for the construction of a fort, San Serapio Mártir del Arroyo Azul, to guard against indigenous raids. Subsequent land grants led to the developemt of a stable community, and in 1895, Azul was formally declared a town by provincial authorities. The local cathedral, Nuestra Señora del Rosario, was consecrated in 1906.

The town's cemetery portal and main slaughterhouse were both designed by architect Francisco Salamone, and contain elements of Art Deco style. Built in the late 1930s, these buildings were some of the first examples of modern architecture in rural Argentina. The town was the scene of an attack on outlying Army barracks by the far-left ERP on January 19, 1974, the most violent siege of its type in the country up to that point.

Azul is home to the schools of Agronomy and Law of the National University of Central Buenos Aires. The Teatro Español, founded in the city in 1897, is among the most important of the central pampas area, and in 1992, hosted the Bolshoi Ballet.[2] The Miguel de Cervantes Festival is held there annually since 2007, and Casa Ronco, an antiquarian library and museum, maintains among the country's best collections relating to the noted Spanish writer. Azul was declared Argentina's "City of Cervantes" by UNESCO in 2007"

Fitzpatrick’s ‘Stone Flower’ best of show in Army Arts and Crafts Contest

By Tim Hipps
FMWRC Public Affairs

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Tatiana Fitzpatrick took best-of-show honors in the 2010 Army Arts and Crafts Contest with an elaborate “Stone Flower” necklace that topped the accomplished metals and jewelry category.

Fitzpatrick, who hones her crafts at Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Arts and Crafts facilities at Camps Walker and Henry in Korea, relied on her “Tatiana’s motif” – a combination of embroidery, bead-stringing and braiding cabochon – to simulate “the Stone Flower” from Malachite Mountain that inspired Russian writer Pavel Bazhov’s folk tale.

“I wanted to express the attraction and intangibility of the mythical stone flower, whose living beauty was impossible for Danila, the rock-carving master of the tale, to make out of malachite,” Fitzpatrick said. “In my necklace, you can see the Malachite flower turning into a difficult-to-catch bird or butterfly.”

Fitzpatrick’s use of antique and vintage micro beads make the embroidered piece appear delicate and light. The bottom cabochon is specially made in a unique embroidered frame, which reveals the back of the stone’s beauty, she said.

Fitzpatrick also earned an honorable mention in the Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation-backed contest for her “Set Spring Nascency” necklace and bracelet.

“The idea of this set came to me while I was expecting a baby, and from the experience of spring on the nature of my home city with hills covered in thick snowdrifts sparkling under the sun on the thin crust of ice over the snow with billions of snow ‘diamonds,’” Fitzpatrick said. “And a real miracle – flying real butterflies among all this snow – showed me the exact image of this set.

“It has a deep sense of human’s closeness to nature, combining ideas of expectance by a mother for her child and Mother Nature for spring. I wanted to accent the beauty of the expecting mother and the beauty of the snow-melting time with its clear, thin delicate ice, sparkling snow and joyful spirit.”

Fitzpatrick appropriately spent nine months on that project.

It also took about nine months to inspire Lt. Col. Leon Pennington’s “Midtour” sculpture, which earned third-place honors in accomplished ceramics.

“I sculpted this piece as a gift for my wife to celebrate our mid-tour reunion during my Operation Iraqi Freedom deployment,” said Pennington of Fort Stewart, Ga., who took first place in accomplished wood with “The Fall of David.”

Pennington also earned third-place accomplished metals and jewelry honors with his bronze rendition of “LTC Phil Pugh – A Soldier.”

“This portrait of Lt. Col. (ret.) Phil Pugh was requested by his family in celebration of his distinguished military career,” said Pennington, who has enjoyed an accomplished career in the annual Army Arts and Crafts Contest. “The sculpture was executed in water-based clay then cast as a bronze using the lost-wax process.”

Sgt. Ryan Winch of Yongsan, Korea, took first place in the accomplished mixed media two-dimensional category by using a pencil, black ink pen and Photoshop to provide color and dynamic shading to his “Fixation of an Engineer” drawing.

“It depicts a man tinkering with machines in an attempt to understand them and give them a soul,” Winch said. “In the process, he slowly becomes a machine himself.”

Winch earned honorable mentions in the mixed media two-dimensional category for “The House of Bunglehon” and in the accomplished drawing division for “Tree of Skulls.”

“I’m not usually into the darker images,” he said of the latter. “But this one was fun to do.”

Jennifer Worthington, a Soldier’s wife at Fort Bliss, Texas, won the accomplished ceramics category with “Ekolu,” which is Hawaiian for “three,” so named because of the repetition of threes in the piece. She crafted the winning ceramic at the Army MWR Arts & Crafts Center at Fort Shafter, Hawaii, where she volunteered to help keep the shop vibrant while her husband was stationed at Schofield Barracks and deployed in Iraq.

“I used the arts and crafts center a lot,” she said. “I wish I could have used it more because it’s probably one of the best arts and crafts centers I’ve come across.”

For Worthington, a former Soldier who holds a bachelor of fine arts degree in 3-D design from Mississippi University for Women, crafting is a lifelong thing. Her work earned three first places and one runner-up finish in the past three years of the Army Arts and Crafts Contest.

“I just like the creative process involved in it – being able to express aspects of your personality through your art,” said Worthington, who hopes to own a studio some day. “My husband likes to work on his truck. I like to do art. For me, it’s a stress-reliever – something I can express myself in and feel like I’ve accomplished something.”

Fern Damour, a military Family member at Yongsan, Korea, took first place in the accomplished fibers category with a quilt named “In the Direction of Autumn,” an original design seemingly brought to life by a multi-fabric background with the use of partial piecing.

Carol Smith, a Department of Defense employee at Fort Monmouth, N.Y., won the novice ceramics category with “Wheel Thrown Teapot with Two Tea Cups” and received an honorable mention for “Japanese Style Lantern.”

CW4 Richard Kopitskie of Yongsan won the novice fibers and textiles category with “Halmoni’s Garden.”

“All of the flowers in the picture were grown by my mother in law, which is where the title came from,” said Kopitskie, who used batik, a drawing on cloth painted with melted crayon, crumbled, dyed and ironed.

Kopitskie’s “Razor Blade Rose” landed third place in novice metals and jewelry. The piece features copper wire, 18 single-edge razor blades, more than 50 double-edged razor blades, sewing needles, black silicone adhesive and a rubber ball.

“The barbed-wire stem was made from twisting stripped electrical wire and attaching it to a rubber ball,” he explained. “The rose leaves were made by heating 18 double-edge razor blades with a torch until they glowed red and were then glued to the stems. The torch-heating changed the color of the blades and allowed bending of the razors. The rose pedals were formed by holding 50-plus single-edge razor blades with needle-nose pliers until heated to a cherry red. Each pedal had to be fitted before being glued in place with black RTV.”

Seems perfectly fitting that Kopitskie also took third place in novice water base painting with “Tools of the Trade,” which features various artillery-specific equipment, such as multiple launch rocket systems, high mobility artillery rocket systems and counterfire radar.

Andrew Washington, another Army Arts and Crafts Contest regular who works at U.S. Army Garrison Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, won the accomplished oil base painting category with “Red Couch.”

“This painting started as a sketch and was later sketched onto canvas,” Washington said. “I wanted to create a character sitting and appear to be dancing on a flaming red couch. The challenge was adding shadows and light, focusing on the character and not taking anything away from the red couch.”

Washington, who regularly paints for passersby on the streets of Germany, also took second place in accomplished mixed media two-dimensional with “Mechanical Mind.”

“This piece started as an oil painting,” he explained. “Then I raised the right side of his face by using Impasto Gel for a 2D effect. I painted the right side of his face with acrylic and glued watch parts for a 2D effect. The material used for his collar and the cloth in his right pocket were cut from a handkerchief. His collar and handkerchief were glazed over with Impasto Gel for effect.

“His top pocket was raised with Impasto Gel and his black suit was painted with acrylic and oil. Pen and ink was used to simulate veins in his skull and was lightly painted over with oil. A ceramic button was used for his right eye, and oil was used for his face and background.”

Perhaps it takes creative minds to illustrate what makes mechanical minds tick – such are the stalwarts of the Army Arts and Crafts Contest.

Finger heart (aka the noble art of the fingerbang) [Work in progress]
art studio design ideas
Image by id-iom
I've had a little trouble with this post. The problem is that whenever I come to try and write something about this piece I can't seem to get the notion out of my head that the finger heart is in fact a heraldic emblem for the noble art of fingerbanging. I've been saying to myself 'C'mon son get your head out of the gutter and pull yourself together' but the only other thing I can pull out is the rather prosaic text that follows:

The id-iom muse certainly works in mysterious ways. This piece was originally going to be used as a t-shirt design on another project that never came to be so it's been sat in my designs file ever since - but with an abundance of walls to paint and not much time to do it we thought it was about time it saw the light of day. Once the design was on the wall however this led to an idea for a bigger concept for the rest of the room and even more work for us to do. Just you wait til the final piece is ready...

I can only we hope have enough time to complete our plan to fill our studio building with as much graffiti as possible before the demo squad move in. And a bigger challenge for us will be to get some decent photo's of it all. Perhaps we'll have to call in some professionals...

Cheers
