Tate Modern

Is it a gun? Is it a camera?
It is amazing to have Street Art in the entrance of the Tate Modern.
We may be able to communicate a message across to people just with Art. Art is very personal, the artist expresses a collective awareness through an unique perspective.

Writing For Images

A writing composition - Creative Writing
- A place where I´ve never been and I´ve always wanted to go

In - Ink

An explosion of colour and codes of emotions from behind anothers’ skin.

Ink.

Secrets concealed before an impulse,
within a hidden heart.
Where tales become fixed into reality and reality becomes fantastical and with it
new worlds abound,
magic spirits spill out.

It is a hangman with an uncovered face,

a poet,
a writer,
a journalist

a love note
a suicide
a child’s first line

Its life is like the stage,
never knowing which character it will be forced to perform.

as each morning dawns
the lightness of day embraces its calligraphy,
makes its stream glisten brighter than shattered diamonds
for its value is greater than all the worlds wealth combined.

It transmits.

Peoples’ ideas get carved with the point of a finger.
It performs this task for them.
They smile at it, get so attached to it,
it can feel their thoughts,
it can.
It really can.
Sometimes agreeing,
Sometimes disagreeing,
It longs to make them aware,
“you are wrong, you don’t mean it like that, try again,”
and then,
they might scribble it frantically across the spoiled page for a new explosion of feelings to flow and
“Yes!”.
They are attached to it again.

Like a best friend
It is a box of benevolence to all of them.
It serves them dutifully
Sometimes feeling good.
Sometimes feeling bad
spelling out feelings it cannot understand
because

It transmits.

But yet sometimes it knows
when they are lying,
when they are loving,
when they are working,
when they are joking,
­It does,
It really does,
It is so aware,
simply because they get so attached.

With their fingertips rubbing its cloak/clothing,
It starts to sense the thinking they are trying to express and as they sweep it softly once again across the page

It receives.

The amazing about this photo is that the camels are the white line!!

Rebecca Horn (1944-Germany/Alemania) Poetry

Rebecca is a German installation artist, but she also writes poetry. Her typographic work is amazing! Like a paint, her installations are a place where you can quiet simply relax and enjoy the trip! It could be described as a projected tale.

Rebecca es una artista conceptual alemana, pero tambien es una poeta. Su trabajo es impresionante! Al igual que una pintura, sus installations son un lugar donde simplemente puedes relajarte y disfrutar del viaje! Podria describirlo como un cuento projectado.

Light imprisoned in the belly of the whale


Horizontal roots,
ramifications of gill/wings
suckled on cold blood
Endlessly alone in slippery corridors,
shapes of air, shapes of moon,
in all this floating where to hold on?
Rubbing the body to create a fire
in the hotel of unborn words,
Bessie Love in Pris, 1928.

In the night words are wandering
like shadows inside the head,
gliding across the marble of water.
A golden rod interrupts the flow
writing in reverse upon black water,
redeems sentences through waves,
kindles a turmoil of signs
in mirrored transparency.
Trembling words search for a new order,
asking the moon for orientation
in the dome of interwoven wods.

Escape from the belly of ramified echoes,
whirling around the heart/pulse of the whale.
My shadow invents its fever,
clasps the cold throb,
sending flames of light
in the centyer of the heart.
Uncertain if love contains deliverance within the fire.

The grain of seed in the word,
nourished in darkness,
unable to fasten the heart/knot,
is light and shadow at once,
floating in the sphere.
A drop of air and water takes shape within the whale
as a scream.
Birth of words,
resounding across the waves,
gliding towards the sun

Mi is the tale of your life, you designe it & you create it. Mi is quite simply the showcase of the snapshots of your life engraved with the almost forgotten essence of ink on paper so it can be shared forever.

U8 Magazine

I´m currently envolved with a live project, U8
Let me introduce you to U8:
is an National student magazine with one year of life, edited by students from Cambridge University and elsewhere. The U8 magazine is one of the largest student magazines in the world, showcasing articles on international development written by students from around the globe.
The magazine will be over 80 sides long and 12,000 hard copies will be distributed around the world to participating university campuses, as well as to IGOs, NGOs, private companies and governments.
We are a group of 4 graphic designers in our 2nd year at Cambridge School of Art, working and making decisions from typeface to layout, grid, colours, continuity...everything! A very exciting project to be involve with.
My section is Middle East, other articles from a different section are on its way

Work on going:

Witty in Grand Central

Unbelievable!!

And, do you need computers, materials or anything to create art? In my opinion, the whole project carried out in New York´s Grand Central station is a piece of Art, Art from the 21st Century.

Perhaps we can experiment with it....in London?...

The Real Work Experience

Today, I have come across a maginificent project from ThinkPublic, called The Real Work Experience.


The real work experience aims to open design graduates eyes to the opportunities of using their skills beyond the usual design roles and the possibility of working in the public sector. Concurrently, the programme aims to educate public sector bodies on the skills and value designers can bring to their organisations.
