On What's Trending, New York City and Chicago are in a virtual spat after the Empire State Building's official X account threw shade at Chicago's iconic Cloud Gate, also known as the Bean. This sparked mixed reactions among users, with some finding humor in the "feud". Also, a painting described as a masterpiece which was found in a plastic bag after being stolen has sold for almost £18m at auction. Called Rest On The Flight Into Egypt, it was painted by Venetian master Titian when he was aged just 20 in 1510. The work was stolen from the drawing room of stately home Longleat in Wiltshire in 1995, but was found seven years later  in a plastic carrier bag in London.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Federico Leoni"Metafisica dello specchio"Anish Kapoor e la poesia delle superficiMarsilio Artewww.marsilioeditori.itArtista del non-oggetto, poeta della dualità, autore di opere sospese tra materiale e immateriale, Anish Kapoor esplora la soglia che divide e riunisce luce e ombra, maschile e femminile, concavità e convessità, in un incessante andirivieni di pieni e vuoti. I suoi oggetti sono dotati di una presenza incisiva e sottrattiva insieme: massimamente consistenti, capaci di imporsi con forza irrefutabile, allo stesso tempo e per lo stesso motivo possiedono una qualità evanescente, illocalizzabile, fantasmatica. Sembrano essere nel mondo, ma anche disegnare un passaggio in cui il mondo è destinato a riversarsi per scomparire o da cui sembra dover risorgere.Grazie a opere come Sky Mirror, Cloud Gate, Dirty Corner, l'inesauribile ricerca condotta dal maestro degli opposti ci consegna «la più chiara esperienza di noi stessi, il nostro ritratto più ovvio, più quotidiano». In un tempo in cui tutto è «crosta delle cose», in cui oggetti e persone parlano di sé attraverso la pelle, lo specchio riporta in superficie la profondità, quella forma scura, quel buco nero che racchiude le domande fondamentali sull'Essere.Federico Leoni(1974) insegna Antropologia filosofica all'Università di Verona, dove dirige, insieme a Riccardo Panattoni, il Centro di ricerca «Tiresia» per la filosofia e la psicoanalisi.È coordinatore scientifico del festival Kum! di Pesaro. Scrive su «aut aut», «Alias», «doppiozero» e su varie riviste italiane e straniere.

What is the role of public art in our communities? And how has it changed across the timespan of human history? From the mysterious construction of Stonehenge in Scotland to Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate (affectionately called ‘The Bean') in Chicago, public art has always served a purpose.

Voltamos com mais um episódio do Escuta Essa, podcast semanal em que Denis e Danilo trocam histórias de cair o queixo e de explodir os miolos. Neste episódio temos duas histórias sobre tinta: primeiro Danilo conta como a tinta verde já foi mortal e pode ter levado Napoleão à morte, e depois Denis fala da tinta mais preta do mundo e como isso criou rancores dentro do mundo da arte. Não deixe de mandar os episódios para aquela pessoa com quem você também gosta de compartilhar histórias e aproveite para compartilhar com a gente seus comentários e perguntas no Spotify, nas redes sociais @escutaessapod, ou no e-mail escutaessa@aded.studio ... NESTE EPISÓDIO Primeira História - A história sobre como a cor verde pode ter matado Napoleão Bonaparte é uma das muitas contidas no livro "Quando deixamos de entender o mundo", de Benjamin Labatut. - Através de descobertas feitas com luz ultravioleta é possível ver as cores originais de diversas estátuas da Grécia Antiga em exposição no Museum of Modern Art em Nova Iorque. - Carl Scheele, nascido em 1742, é o responsável pela criação do "Verde Scheele", que continha altos nível de arsênico e pode ter contribuído com sua morte aos 43 anos de idade. - O "Verde Scheele" começou a ser abandonado ainda no século XIX graças à sua toxicidade, mas seguiu até 1930 sendo usado como inseticida. - Marie Curie, pioneira nas pesquisas sobre radioatividade, morreu aos 66 anos vítima de uma anemia rara causada pela exposição prolongada à radiação. - Sabin Arnold Von Sochocky criou a primeira tinta do mundo que brilhava no escuro, chamada "Undark". Morreu aos 45 anos também vítima de anemia causada por radiação. - Tanto Claude Monet quanto Paul Cézanne tiveram problemas de visão: o primeiro por conta de uma catarata, o segundo por conta de diabetes. É impossível comprovar, mas é possível que os dois tenham sofrido suas condições por interferência do "Verde Paris", que também era tóxico e foi usado como inseticida até o final do século XIX. - A gasolina passou a conter chumbo em 1922 e em 1970 toda a gasolina do mundo já continha o metal. Sua proibição ocorreu na década de 1980, mas chumbo só parou de ser utilizado na gasolina do mundo inteiro em 2021. - A produção artesanal de panelas no México passou a conter chumbo depois da invasão dos europeus e, mesmo com o chumbo proibido no país desde 1993, várias comunidades tradicionais seguem produzindo artesanalmente panelas usando o metal como esmalte. Estima-se que duas de cada dez crianças do país estejam seriamente contaminadas. - O gás presente nas geladeiras era o clorofluorcarbono, banido mundialmente em 1987 quando provou-se que era o maior responsável pela destruição de nossa camada de ozônio. Segunda História - A tinta Vantablack, produzida pela empresa Surrey Nanosystems, pode ser vista no próprio site da companhia em diversas fotos e vídeos. - Sua versão em spray, mais acessível, chama-se Vantablack S-VIS e custa cerca de 6 mil dólares a unidade. - Anish Kapoor é o artista responsável por obras como o "Cloud Gate" (ou "O Feijão") em Chicago, o "Sky Mirror" em Nottingham, na Inglaterra, e o "The Void" (ou "O Vazio"). - A matéria no site Wired citada pelo Denis pode ser lida aqui. - O rosa mais rosa do mundo, criado por Stuart Semple, pode ser comprado no site do artista - desde que você não seja Anish Kapoor, claro. - Estudos mostram que a resolução 4K em algumas circunstâncias supera a capacidade do olho humano. - Anish Kapoor riu por último. - O azul chamado "IKB" ("International Klein Blue") foi registrado em 1960 por Yves Klein. - A única obra de Anish Kapoor que utiliza a tinta Vantablack é um relógio - na verdade, uma série de dez relógios, e cada um pode ser comprado pela bagatela de 95 mil dólares. ...

Why do we connect emotionally with some places and not others? Why does that matter? What does loving the place you live in have to do with healing the partisan divide? We explore these questions and hear about solutions from author, researcher and speaker Peter Kageyama.This shared episode is an edited version of a podcast released earlier this year by "Village Squarecast". Our show includes extracts from a speech delivered at a special meeting of The Village Square in Tallahassee, Florida.Peter Kageyama is the author of For the Love of Cities: The Love Affair Between People and Their Places, the follow up, Love Where You Live: Creating Emotionally Engaging Places and his latest, The Emotional Infrastructure of Places. He loves cities and is the former President of Creative Tampa Bay, a grassroots community change organization and the co-founder of the Creative Cities Summit, an interdisciplinary conference that brings citizens and practitioners together around the big idea of ‘the city.'"The mutual love affair between people and their place is one of the most powerful influences in our lives, yet rarely thought of in terms of a relationship," says Peter. "As cities begin thinking of themselves as engaged in a relationship with their citizens, and citizens begin to consider their emotional connections with their places, we open up new possibilities in community, social and economic development by including the most powerful of motivators—the human heart—in our toolkit of city-making." In this episode we learn about the importance of "high touch" local entrepreneurs and local innovators who send "love notes" to the places where they live.Peter shares creative initiatives and speaks of the work of local innovators and public artists. Examples mentioned here include the transformation of Times Square's public space in New York City, The Bean (Cloud Gate) in Chicago, and the Grand Rapids Lip Dub.A warm thankyou to Liz Joyner, President and CEO of The Village Square for giving us permission to share this episode. Village Square is a non-profit organization based in Tallahassee, Florida. It "builds community in our hometown across the ideological, racial, ethnic and religious divisions that have deepened so dramatically in our nation and that have prevented us from addressing the challenges we face together. Hometowns with strong and deep relationships are communities that thrive." Learn more here. Additional InformationThe Democracy Group listener surveyHow Do We Fix It?

A beautiful day in the Windy City. They arrived early for this episode before recording yet another show for their side project The Storytellers Studio at Newsradio 780 WBBM just a block away. It felt to be a stone's throw from Cloud Gate in Millennium Park in Chicago, Illinois. Tim and Liz met folks from El Paso, Texas; Turkey; Austria; Naperville, Illinois and England. They became impromptu tour agents and chatted about unexpected items in the mail, a haunted house tour, being grateful, a cartoon book with pigeons on the cover and Tim's (not Liz's) favorite relative. They became part of a high school video project inspired by the book Humans. Also, would you rather write for Hallmark cards or fortune cookies?

An icon whose spectacular works occupy a liminal space between sculpture, engineering and architecture, Anish Kapoor is one of the world's most ambitious living artists. The first living artist to take over the Royal Academy with a record-breaking blockbuster exhibition, the recipient of a Turner Prize, a knighthood, the LennonOno Prize for Peace, the $1 million Genesis Prize, an Oxford doctorate and the Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian honour, Anish Kapoor holds the rare status of an artist both revered by critics and overwhelmingly loved by the public. From Chicago's Cloud Gate to the London Olympic Park's Orbit, the Rockefeller Center's Sky Mirror to Paris's Leviathan, Kapoor's sculptures resonate with mythic significance, belonging to a tradition and a way of thinking that extends back to the great wonders of the world.

The Sherman & Tingle Show - WDRV-FM Chicago

In the latest episode of Real Estate for Breakfast, host Phil Coover is joined by living Chicago real estate legend Bob Wislow. Phil and Bob discuss the properties managed and developed by Parkside Realty throughout Chicago, including the ground-up development of Fulton East – a 12 story commercial building including 5,000 square feet of retail, 3 levels of enclosed parking and 8 stories of office space. The top is crowned with an 8,000 square feet outdoor space. Fulton East is the nation’s first office building designed to deliver health-focused operating solutions for the post-COVID-19 business environment, and is receiving national publicity and attention. Each of the 10,605 square foot floor plans enable flexible, custom planning options to accommodate safe social distancing. State-of-the-art wellness features include a hands-free elevator system and air and surface disinfection systems housed within a beautiful glass and steel grid exterior design that fits the historic district where the property is located. Bob Wislow is chairman and CEO of Parkside Realty, Inc. In 1978, Bob Wislow and Camille Julmy founded U.S. Equities Realty which they, together with Nancy Pacher, grew to be Chicago’s largest, privately-owned commercial real estate services firm. U.S. Equities has been responsible for a number of major projects including the development of the Harold Washington Library Center, Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies, Center For Care & Discovery and Comer Children’s Hospital at the University of Chicago, Poetry Foundation and John Stroger Hospital for Cook County; co-development of One Financial Place , Grand Plaza and The Cook County Hospital Headquarters and Clinic Building; and the redevelopments of the John Hancock Center, Willis Tower, 20 North Michigan, and 840 N. Michigan in Chicago; as well as overseeing the development of Compuware’s Headquarters in Detroit, Bank Boston’s Headquarters in both Argentina and Brazil, 618 S. Main in Ann Arbor, and in partnership with Clayco Centene’s Headquarters in St. Louis.In Spring 1999, U.S. Equities was retained by Millennium Park Inc., (the group representing the Park’s private donors) to oversee the design, engineering, fabrication and construction of Frank Gehry's Pritzker Pavilion and BP Bridge, Anish Kapoor’s monumental Cloud Gate sculpture and Jaume Plensa’s Crown Fountain. In addition to development and project management services the firm provided tenant representation, asset and property management, leasing, real estate consulting, and financial and investment services. Its Chicago headquarters, directly across from Millennium Park, housed original works of art, including paintings, prints and sculpture by over 150 artists. Through its annual Artist in Residence program, the company commissioned artists to create original, limited edition books related to the cities where the firm did projects. After nearly four decades of success in Chicago, Wislow and his partners merged their firm into CBRE, the world's largest commercial real estate services firm, in the summer of 2014. At the time, U.S. Equities leased and managed 17 million square feet of Chicago property, including Willis Tower, 2.5 million square feet of office and retail space along Michigan Avenue, Union Station, Metra Market, and six Illinois tollway oases. The successfully merger brought more than 400 U.S. Equities employees under the CBRE flag. In August 2019, after five successful years with CBRE, that includes projects like the World’s largest Starbucks Roastery on Michigan Avenue, Wislow and Julmy formed a new, boutique real estate venture called Parkside Realty Inc. The real estate veterans will maintain their portfolio and develop new projects, such as Fulton East, a 12-story, 90,000-square-foot office and retail building under construction at 215 N. Peoria Street, in the heart of Chicago’s Fulton Market.A native Chicagoan, Wislow is known by friends as a dedicated heli-skier, road biker and fly fisherman, an avid arts supporter and longtime dedicated steward for civic engagement in Chicago. He has, or is serving, on the boards of many organizations and institutions, including the Chicago Public Library Foundation, Rush University Medical Center, Civic Committee, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Civic Consulting Alliance, CHICAGO Symphony Orchestra, Columbia College, North Central College and the Chicago Chamber of Commerce. Wislow has been honored with the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Lifetime Achievement Award, the NAIOP Chicago Award for Excellence, and the Chicago Architecture Foundation (CAF) Legacy Award.

From selling slippers on the streets of Taipei as a child to running a world class dance company, we meet the new artistic director of Cloud Gate. Choreographer Cheng Tsung-lung tells us how he transformed his childhood experiences into a sensory explosion of sound, neon light and spectacular movement on stage in the latest production 13 Tongues. Two dancers on a mission to replace caricature with character. Georgina Pazcoguin and Phil Chan of the campaign group Final Bow for Yellowface tell us why they're working to eliminate offensive stereotypes of East Asians on our stages. It's been called Georgia's first LGBTQ+ film, has been critically acclaimed but has also attracted controversy. The actor and dancer Levan Gelbakhiani shares the story of making the new drama “And then We Danced.” Presented by Tina Daheley Image: A dancer on stage in 13 Tongues Image credit: Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan

Edra Soto is a Puerto Rico born, Chicago based, interdisciplinary artist, educator and curator whose architectural projects connect with communities. Soto's temporary modular SCREENHOUSE pavilions are evocative symbols of her cultural assimilation that we can enter and share. Each free-standing structure functions as both sculptural object and social gathering place. Couched in beauty, her ongoing OPEN 24 HOURS project offers a different visceral encounter — with evidence of displacement and want. The aesthetic display of cast-off liquor bottles culled from steadily accumulating detritus in the historically Black neighborhood she now calls home suggests that we consider the personal and communal impact of poverty and racism. During a studio visit with the artist in Northwest Chicago, we talk about recent iterations of these projects. In concert with the 2019 Chicago Architecture Biennial, the Millennium Park Foundation commissioned the artist to produce a temporary gathering place in one of the park’s outdoor galleries. Only steps from Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate, she worked with a team to construct SCREENHOUSE. The 10-foot high pavilion made of 400 charcoal-hued, 12-inch cast concrete blocks is part of an ongoing project, an architectural series inspired by iron grills and decorative concrete screen blocks found throughout the Caribbean and the American South. New versions of OPEN 24 HOURS are on view in two 2020 exhibitions. One appears in Open House: Domestic Thresholds at the Albright-Knox Museum, in Buffalo, New York. Cognac bottles carefully arranged on shelves with decorative panels reveal the artist’s connection to two places she calls home. More liquor bottles command attention in the three-part installation she designed for State of the Art 2020. Featuring work by artists from across the United States, the exhibition celebrates the opening of The Momentary, a new contemporary art space at the Crystal Bridges Museum, in Bentonville, Arkansas.

She is invested in creating and providing visual and educational models propelled by empathy and generosity. Her recent projects, which are motivated by civic and social actions, focus on fostering relationships with a wide range of communities.  Recent venues presenting Soto’s work include Chicago Cultural Center (IL), Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art (KS), Pérez Art Museum Miami (FL), Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (PR), Hunter EastHarlem Gallery (NY), UIC Gallery 400 (IL), Smart Museum (IL), Bemis Center for Contemporary Art (NE), DePaul Art Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chicago (IL). Soto was awarded the Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellowship, the DCASE for Individual Artist Grant from the City of Chicago, the 3Arts Make A Wave award, and 3Arts Projects grants, and the Illinois Arts Council grant.  Soto holds an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and a Bachelor of Arts from Escuela de Artes Plásticas de Puerto Rico. She teaches Introduction to Social Engagement at University of Illinois in Chicago and is a lecturer at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  About SCREENHOUSE: Decorative screens, known as rejas and quiebrasoles, are ubiquitous in Soto’s birthplace in Puerto Rico. In her SCREENHOUSE series, Soto transforms the quiebrasol form from a planar screen that divides public from private into a nearly fully enclosed, free-standing structure that functions as both sculptural object and social gathering place. About OPEN 24 HOURS: Witnessing the excessive accumulation of litter and detritus in the historic African American neighborhood of East Garfield Park where she lives motivated Edra Soto to initiate this ongoing project. Since December 2016, Soto has been collecting, cleaning and classifying cast-off liquor bottles to create installations that display the impact of racism and poverty on this marginalized community in Chicago. Bourbon Empire, the book quoted below, recounts the historic connection between African Americans and cognac from its genesis in the 1930s to contemporary repercussions instigated by hip-hop and rap culture. “Cognac’s relationship with African American consumers started later, when black soldiers stationed in southwest France were introduced to it during both world wars. The connection between cognac producers and black consumers was likely bolstered by the arrival of black artists and musicians... France appreciated these distinctive art forms before the U.S. did, continuing a French tradition dating back to Alexis de Tocqueville of understanding aspects of American culture better than Americans did. For African Americans, the elegant cognac of a country that celebrated their culture instead of marginalizing it must have tasted sweet ... During the 1990s, cognac sales were slow, and the industry was battling an image populated by fusty geriatrics. Then references to cognac began surfacing in rap lyrics, a phenomenon that peaked in 2001 with Busta Rhymes and P. Diddy’s hit “Pass the Courvoisier,” causing sales of the brand to jump 30 percent. During the next five years, other rappers teamed up with brands, and increased overall sales of cognac in the U.S. by a similar percentage, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States.” —Reid Mitenbuler, author of Bourbon Empire: The Past and Future of America’s Whiskey

Eric is the guitarist and de facto bandleader of Au Revoir, a post-rock (and by turns post-metal) band with members converging in New Jersey from far-flung corners of the US. You might know them as the band who climbed on each others' shoulders and stuck a huge dildo way up on Cloud Gate (aka The Bean) in Chicago, but you may also know them by their highly ambitious tour schedule, so we talked about going intercontinental, using your band's van as your daily driver and the oversaturation of DIY resources.

安尼施·卡普尔当代雕塑艺术家，一位获得极大国际声誉的艺术家。 1954年出生于印度孟买。70年代初他到了伦敦，开始学习艺术，后来就在伦敦工作和生活。因为这样的经历，他的作品被视为是印度和西方精神的结合。Kapoor的作品往往以简洁弧线的方式出现。配以简单，鲜明的色彩。他早期的作品常常以彩色粉末的方式出现，这些粉末以不同的造型出现，这种做法的灵感来自于印度市场和寺庙里常出现的彩色粉末推出的小丘。卡普尔早期的颜料雕塑，比如他1982年完成的作品“白色的沙，红色的谷粒，和很多花”就是这一类型创作的体现。Kapoor随后的作品开始更多的运用固体，石头类雕塑作品上往往有孔径和腔的体现，往往暗示物质与精神，光与黑暗，肉体和身心，男性和女性等双重意味。他创作过不锈钢反射雕塑，以反映或扭曲观众和周围环境镜子的形式出现。 比如他创作的一系列命名为“非物体”的不锈钢作品，“非物体（门）”，“非物体（杆）”，和“晕眩”等作品都是在08年创作的。Kapoor愿意称呼自己的雕塑为“非物体”，他希望自己的作品体现出一种超常的状态，这个非物体的功能是Kapoor对另外一个层次的空间和观念进行延伸的途径。Kapoor最知名的作品是大型雕塑，这些雕塑往往以简单的曲线结合凹洞和凹陷的方式出现。Kapoor用简单的造型和庞大的尺寸营造出一种让人凝神的氛围，作品凹处所营造的黑暗地带唤起了观众的神秘感受。带有触感的表面像是一种邀请，反射所营造的魅力也是无穷的。他在芝加哥千年公园和Cloud Gate的作品很好的体现了这些特点。“Cloud Gate”位于芝加哥世纪公园的“Cloud Gate（云门）”是Kapoor的一件代表性作品。芝加哥人把它称之为“豆子”，因为它的外形酷似一颗豆子，这颗豆子是由多块不锈钢板高度抛光焊接而成的，整个雕塑高达33英尺，重量为110吨。“豆子”的姿态柔和简约，让人看了之后唤起了内心的温和情感，芝加哥的城市景观投射到这颗豆子上，豆子的弧度，凹凸，和图像的反射将人的感受引领到另外一个层次。豆子具有的柔和幅度在与周围景象兼收并蓄之后，产生出了一种超然的力量。在这件作品里，Kapoor强调作品和周围空间达成一种交流和氛围，而不仅仅是“豆子”本身。这件作品充分的体现了Kapoor对作品营造出来精神空间，和空间进行交流的意图。天镜（Sky Mirror）是和Cloud Gate创作意图类似的作品， 一个直径为35英尺的凹面镜悬挂在纽约的洛克菲勒中心，它把城市里的景观尽收其中，像是这个城市的一只眼睛，这是Kapoor在 2006年完成的作品，也是他的代表作之一。“记忆”（Memory）是Kapoor的另外一件代表作品， 一个大型的橄榄球状物体在不同的房间里以不同的方式出现，铁锈的球体符合人们心中记忆的样式，但观众却无法在一个房间里看到这个球体的全部，这让观看者们充满了好奇心，想知道这件物体在屋子之外是怎样的一幅样子，这让人联想到边界的问题，记“Memory”忆有边界吗？是开放式的还是被分隔在一个一个的房间里？我们走出了一个房间的边界，又进入了另外一个有边界的房间，或者我们在精神领域的探索就是这样的一个景况，从一个房间走出，又进入了另外一个房间。突破和重新被界定永远是相伴相生的。Kapoor的作品常常出现鲜红色，红色对他有特别的感受，Kapoor说： “红色具有某种含蓄和主动的性征，这让我着迷，我总是想用红色创作作品”。在所有运用红色的作品中，“Svayambh”是其中极具代表性的。"Svayambh“是Kapoor在2007年推出的作品，作品主体是一个1.5米的巨大红色蜡块，蜡块像车厢一样被安放在一个红色移动轨道上，这个红色蜡块以一种几乎感觉不到的速度移动。”Svayambh“的外观让人是让人联想到火车车厢，Kapoor一直迷恋Andrei Konchalovsky的电影“逃亡火车”，在火车上，两名越狱的罪犯登上一列开往阿拉斯加的火车，结果他们就要成功的时候，火车车长病逝，车上只剩下一位女助手，他们被困在火车上，火车没有刹车，也没有人驾驶，三人在彼此身份透露之后，决定同舟共济，渡过难关，但追捕的警察赶到，这辆火车只能走向一个车毁人亡的前方。"Svayambh”在梵语里是自我生成或者自动生成的意思。这个红色蜡烛块像是那面墙上产生出的一个1.5米高的裂块，一个自我生成的创伤。这个作品打开了一个另外的精神反射空间，用简单有力的方式实现了一种极具震撼的感觉，Kapoor说，“一个真实的物体往往能导致一个非物质的感受”， “Svayambh”营造出来的景象超出了眼见的范畴，进入了另外一个精神层面，这是现象和精神之间进行的对话。“没有镀金的战士：肢解圣女贞德”是另外一件Kapoor运用了大量红色的作品。在Kapoor的这件作品里，贞德不再是一个完美无暇的战士，她所有剩下的就是两堆红色的废墟和一个凹陷下去的红色土坑，还有两条被肢解的腿。那两个红色小丘可以视为她的乳房，而圆形的土坑则象征着子宫。在Kapoor看来，贞德是一个具有强烈母性意味的生育图腾，她的“没有镀金的战士：肢解圣女贞德”身体是可供人栖息的一个洞穴。红色运用在这里，蕴含有“

"Meant to celebrate the city and her famous skyline, and elevate the visitor — hence the name Cloud Gate — it has become a major tourist destination and is, in my opinion, one of the most perfect pieces of public art ever created. And anyway, it’s in the shape of a kidney bean, so what do you want, Anish Kapoor? It’s the Bean!" Artipoeus visits Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate in Millennium Park in Chicago, USA.

Duration: 21 minutes Dance practitioners and educators Stephanie Burridge and Susan Sentler discuss Cloud Gate 2‘s A Triple Bill, including the interplay of music and choreography, references to Martha Graham’s aesthetics, and the many ways bodies can “carve the architecture...

TIPS FOR VISITING CHICAGO WITH KIDS Traveling in Chicago you need a lot of time to see everything. If you are just looking in to see the ‘main attractions’, a long weekend would be good. Though it is not possible for everyone; try to allow for three days, so you can hit the big attractions as well as getting into some of the neighborhoods. Staying in downtown Chicago is closest to the main sights, transit and offers a range of hotels to stay at that will fit almost everyone's budgets from chain to small boutique hotels. Some of Chicago’s Neighborhoods to visit include: Little India is the Asian/Indian community and has excellent restaurants Andersonville which is a big Swedish neighborhood Lincoln Square is a Historical German neighborhood that has a few German Restaurants and a lot of places to go in walking distance Little Italy has changed but is a more trendy neighborhood with a lot of great restaurants and has the Italian American Sports Hall of Fame Pilsen was originally settled by czech republic but is now a large Latin community and has great Mexican food. This is also become a hotspot for artist Wrigleyville holds a lot of the younger crowd with all the bars and shops The Field Museum, The Shedd Aquarium, The Adler Planetarium are all located in the Museum Campus. Not far from there is the Millennium Park that has ‘The Bean’ also known as The Cloud Gate. Eataly is an Italian grocery store/market that is a cultural experience. It has a Nutella bar that kids love, as well as for the adults a wine bar and a brewery on site. Inside there is a restaurants that have great Italian food. The Architectural Boat tour is a must do. Chicago is legendary for its architecture! BEST PLACE TO TAKE FAMILY PHOTO Most families like to take their pictures by The Bean. It is a memorable place that showcases that you are in Chicago. But this is a hard place to get a photo without other people in it. The Lincoln Park Conservatory is also a great place that has a few scenic spot to take some shots. FAVORITE TRAVEL GEAR Francesca likes to wear dark colors along with Calvin Klein Active Pants and tops. She can just roll them up in a ball to put in her bag and when she takes them out they are not wrinkled at all. She also loves her Merrell shoes. They are very comfortable and hold up with a lot of walking.

安尼施·卡普尔当代雕塑艺术家，一位获得极大国际声誉的艺术家。 1954年出生于印度孟买。70年代初他到了伦敦，开始学习艺术，后来就在伦敦工作和生活。因为这样的经历，他的作品被视为是印度和西方精神的结合。Kapoor的作品往往以简洁弧线的方式出现。配以简单，鲜明的色彩。他早期的作品常常以彩色粉末的方式出现，这些粉末以不同的造型出现，这种做法的灵感来自于印度市场和寺庙里常出现的彩色粉末推出的小丘。卡普尔早期的颜料雕塑，比如他1982年完成的作品“白色的沙，红色的谷粒，和很多花”就是这一类型创作的体现。Kapoor随后的作品开始更多的运用固体，石头类雕塑作品上往往有孔径和腔的体现，往往暗示物质与精神，光与黑暗，肉体和身心，男性和女性等双重意味。他创作过不锈钢反射雕塑，以反映或扭曲观众和周围环境镜子的形式出现。 比如他创作的一系列命名为“非物体”的不锈钢作品，“非物体（门）”，“非物体（杆）”，和“晕眩”等作品都是在08年创作的。Kapoor愿意称呼自己的雕塑为“非物体”，他希望自己的作品体现出一种超常的状态，这个非物体的功能是Kapoor对另外一个层次的空间和观念进行延伸的途径。Kapoor最知名的作品是大型雕塑，这些雕塑往往以简单的曲线结合凹洞和凹陷的方式出现。Kapoor用简单的造型和庞大的尺寸营造出一种让人凝神的氛围，作品凹处所营造的黑暗地带唤起了观众的神秘感受。带有触感的表面像是一种邀请，反射所营造的魅力也是无穷的。他在芝加哥千年公园和Cloud Gate的作品很好的体现了这些特点。“Cloud Gate”位于芝加哥世纪公园的“Cloud Gate（云门）”是Kapoor的一件代表性作品。芝加哥人把它称之为“豆子”，因为它的外形酷似一颗豆子，这颗豆子是由多块不锈钢板高度抛光焊接而成的，整个雕塑高达33英尺，重量为110吨。“豆子”的姿态柔和简约，让人看了之后唤起了内心的温和情感，芝加哥的城市景观投射到这颗豆子上，豆子的弧度，凹凸，和图像的反射将人的感受引领到另外一个层次。豆子具有的柔和幅度在与周围景象兼收并蓄之后，产生出了一种超然的力量。在这件作品里，Kapoor强调作品和周围空间达成一种交流和氛围，而不仅仅是“豆子”本身。这件作品充分的体现了Kapoor对作品营造出来精神空间，和空间进行交流的意图。天镜（Sky Mirror）是和Cloud Gate创作意图类似的作品， 一个直径为35英尺的凹面镜悬挂在纽约的洛克菲勒中心，它把城市里的景观尽收其中，像是这个城市的一只眼睛，这是Kapoor在 2006年完成的作品，也是他的代表作之一。“记忆”（Memory）是Kapoor的另外一件代表作品， 一个大型的橄榄球状物体在不同的房间里以不同的方式出现，铁锈的球体符合人们心中记忆的样式，但观众却无法在一个房间里看到这个球体的全部，这让观看者们充满了好奇心，想知道这件物体在屋子之外是怎样的一幅样子，这让人联想到边界的问题，记“Memory”忆有边界吗？是开放式的还是被分隔在一个一个的房间里？我们走出了一个房间的边界，又进入了另外一个有边界的房间，或者我们在精神领域的探索就是这样的一个景况，从一个房间走出，又进入了另外一个房间。突破和重新被界定永远是相伴相生的。Kapoor的作品常常出现鲜红色，红色对他有特别的感受，Kapoor说： “红色具有某种含蓄和主动的性征，这让我着迷，我总是想用红色创作作品”。在所有运用红色的作品中，“Svayambh”是其中极具代表性的。"Svayambh“是Kapoor在2007年推出的作品，作品主体是一个1.5米的巨大红色蜡块，蜡块像车厢一样被安放在一个红色移动轨道上，这个红色蜡块以一种几乎感觉不到的速度移动。”Svayambh“的外观让人是让人联想到火车车厢，Kapoor一直迷恋Andrei Konchalovsky的电影“逃亡火车”，在火车上，两名越狱的罪犯登上一列开往阿拉斯加的火车，结果他们就要成功的时候，火车车长病逝，车上只剩下一位女助手，他们被困在火车上，火车没有刹车，也没有人驾驶，三人在彼此身份透露之后，决定同舟共济，渡过难关，但追捕的警察赶到，这辆火车只能走向一个车毁人亡的前方。"Svayambh”在梵语里是自我生成或者自动生成的意思。这个红色蜡烛块像是那面墙上产生出的一个1.5米高的裂块，一个自我生成的创伤。这个作品打开了一个另外的精神反射空间，用简单有力的方式实现了一种极具震撼的感觉，Kapoor说，“一个真实的物体往往能导致一个非物质的感受”， “Svayambh”营造出来的景象超出了眼见的范畴，进入了另外一个精神层面，这是现象和精神之间进行的对话。“没有镀金的战士：肢解圣女贞德”是另外一件Kapoor运用了大量红色的作品。在Kapoor的这件作品里，贞德不再是一个完美无暇的战士，她所有剩下的就是两堆红色的废墟和一个凹陷下去的红色土坑，还有两条被肢解的腿。那两个红色小丘可以视为她的乳房，而圆形的土坑则象征着子宫。在Kapoor看来，贞德是一个具有强烈母性意味的生育图腾，她的“没有镀金的战士：肢解圣女贞德”身体是可供人栖息的一个洞穴。红色运用在这里，蕴含有“向内”容纳庇护的柔韧和“向外”积极争取，热情释放的母性意味。这确实是别的颜色所不具备的一种特质，Kapoor在感觉到这一点同时，用作品把他对红色的理解也表现了出来，毫无疑问，这是一种非常有力的表达。肢解圣女贞德”是2009年Anish Kapoor为了布莱顿艺术节特别创作的作品， Kapoor做为布莱顿艺术节的第一位客座艺术总监，他在这次艺术节上还呈现了其他4个装置作品： 天镜 Sky Mirror，C-弧线， Blood Relations血缘关系（和Salman Rushdie合作），和1000 Names。布莱顿市民对Kapoor的这些作品反应非常热烈，由于这些作品太受欢迎， 布莱顿的警察不得不在作品周围改道交通，并实施了人流量的控制。Kapoor作品受到观众如此的欢迎，有记者问Kapoor，是否“与人接触”和“作品摆放地点”是公共艺术的成功关键，对此，卡普尔回答说：“我思考那些像神话一样的世界建筑奇迹，比如巴比伦的空中花园和通天塔。似乎一个集体意志的东西总是会和个体产生共振，这感觉类似于神话。我把这个模式纳入了自己的思考方式。艺术可以实践那样的景况，我想占领一个领域，这个领域是一个由想法和思维方式贯穿起来而产生的一个对象。”“升华”他的创作像是在这个世界找到一条缝隙，他总是试图进入这样一个未知的缝隙，占据这个领域。进入这个未知神秘领域的方式包括明暗，凹凸，反射，颜色等各种手段带来的暗示。比如他在常青画廊里展览的作品“升华”，观众们先从一个黑暗的甬道里进入，走过黑暗之后，突然进入了一个光明的地带，旋转幽暗的建筑通道尽头一掠青烟从地下升起，被上面的涡炉吸入，这时候占据人们的感觉是扩张和向上升腾的意外境界。Kapoor说，我一直在做的是表现这个世界里并不在场的一面，是一个幻想的空间，它来自于心智和灵魂的一面，用雕塑把感知到的这一面表达出来，这就是我一直试图在做的。

 Kelly is camping in her newly painted trailer known as "The Clubhouse." It is a 10.5 foot, 1967 trailer that has been decorated in a San Francisco Giants theme.  They have camped in The Clubhouse for 3 summers, but this is the first trip after it got the new paint job, had some water damage repaired, and had the interior re-paneled. This episode includes an audio field trip to the Mt. Madonna Campground in the Santa Cruz Mountains between Watsonville and Gilroy. It is a beautiful "on location" recording studio!     In the background you may hear Steller's Jays and Acorn Woodpeckers. The Acorn Woodpeckers make holes in trees and store their acorns in them like a winter pantry. They often take one tree and completely cover it with holes. On the visit here last November all the holes in the trees near the restroom were filled with acorns from the Tan Bark Oaks. On this trip all the holes were empty.     While on the camping trip, Kelly is knitting on two projects: the Dorthelia tank by Corrina Ferguson from the book that the Two Ewes reviewed last episode and the Featherweight Cardigan pattern by Hannah Fettig. The tank top is knit from red Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy yarn and the Featherweight is being knit with three cones of thread (two linen, one cotton) in blue, cream and mint green. Progress on the tank is fast, progress on the cardigan is slow!     The cardigan is a project from Kelly's rescued stash of coned weaving yarn. This project started with swatching during the Yarniacs Q1 Love the Yarn You Own challenge. (Link to Yarniacs episode 92.)  It was supposed to be finished in Q2, but that didn't happen. A couple of other stash projects that were more portable got in the way. This cardigan will be finished in Q3. Also started during the Q1 challenge are a set of dishtowels with turquoise as the main warp color and a Herbert Niebling doily in the Frosted Ferns pattern. (The name in English is not very accurate since the pattern is actually oak leaves and acorns.)   Both of these projects hit the rocks with mistakes, but have been righted and are now in full swing again for Q3. The challenge has been a great way to focus on using the stash of coned yarns that Kelly was itching to find a use for!     In our last episode Marsha was blocking her Blue Juno Cardigan by yellowcosmo made with Blue Moon Fiber Arts Silky Victoria. The fit is perfect! Marsha highly recommends the pattern and the yarn. Marsha continues to work on the Wispy Willow Cardigan by Cheryl Beckenrich made with HiKoo CoBaSi.   She cast on for a cardigan called Lanata by Amy Christoffers using StahlSche Wolle Limbo Superwash that was a destash yarn from a friend. The cardigan has raglan sleeves and is knit from the bottom up featuring lace panels that look like vines trailing up the front and back of the sweater.   Marsha talks about washing some of the Shetland fleece she bought last month at the Black Sheep Gathering. Since recording the episode she bought hand carders and has carded and started spinning the Shetland.   Marsha had an "advent-ewe" to Chicago the home of "Cloud Gate," or as the locals call it, "The Bean."     She had time to visit a few yarn shops and did a little stash enhancing. She saw:     A lovely shop named Loopy Yarns. She bought a skein of HPKY Regina Louise Lace in Shamrock.   An unusual shop called We'll Keep You in Stitches   A terrific shop named Windy Knitty Marsha bought a skein of Knitwhits Freia Fine Handpaints Ombre Lace and and Fleur de Fibers Acadian fingering in the color way "Puppet Bike" inspired by the Puppet Bike.   A super cute shop called Sifu Design Studio. Marsha bought a skein of Dragonfly Fibers Pixie Fingering "Zombie Apocalypse".   Her last stop was a crazy shop called Chicago Fabric Yarn and Button.   The Chicago Yarn Crawl will take place from August 1-9. If you're in the area be sure to check it out!     Marsha loves old houses and had time to visit three. She highly recommends visiting:   The Driehaus Museum   Henry B. Clarke House   John J. Glessner House Museum

Welecome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 234 Over the past seven years at the end of every interview I have asked "what two issues would you fix and why" or some close variant of that question.  In that question each of my interviewees has left thier own mark on how I think about software process and measurement.  This week I am continuing with a walk down memory lane with three of the most popular segments from 2011 SPaMCAST 136 - Ginger Levin and LeRoy Ward, Program Management ComplexitySPaMCAST 158 - Peter Taylor, The Lazy Project ManagerSPaMCAST 138 - Jo Ann Sweeney, Communication I have also included an entry from the Daily Process Thoughts titled "Perception."   Daily Process Thoughts: Perception, January 25, 2013 A few months ago I arrived at a conference in Chicago a few hours early and spent the afternoon wandering around the downtown area.  I love Chicago!  There are always new things to see and do.  Regardless of my mission, I always try to make time to see the Cloud Gate (the metal bean); rain or shine, hot or cold).  Why?  Cloud Gate reminds me that regardless of how I try to see things from different angles there are always different ways to see and experience the world around me. Seth Godin, the marketing guru, counsels us to have a bias toward action; to  have the guts deliver our products, ideas and processes to market. The advice is sound because without delivering there is no possibility of feedback. Incorporating techniques such as diverse, cross functional teams, short development cycles, incremental deliveries and constant feedback loops into how you deliver process improvements will let you deliver and then gather feedback. In other words use techniques from agile and lean development to change how you improve your processes. Deliver and then stand under your own Cloud Gate and watch, listen and gather feedback from all of the possible perspectives then deliver again. The Daily Process Thoughts is my project designed to deliver a quick daily idea, thought or simple smile to help you become a better change agent. Each day you will get piece of thought provoking text and a picture or hand drawn chart to illustrate the idea being presented. The goal is to deliver every day; rain or shine, in sickness or in health or for better or worse!
