La Roux - Bulletproof
I've found a really cool and artsy video on YouTube (yes, YT is not only crap!) of the British electropop-band La Roux. The song is called Bulletproof and this week it possesses the 3rd position of the BBC Radio1 charts. I love the colours and the whole appearance of the video, so it's worth to be seen!

Luigi Russolo - The Revolt 1911Drawing upon elements of Divisionism and Cubism, the Futurists created a new style that broke with old traditions and expressed the dynamism, energy and movement of their modern life.
This exhibition both showcases the work of key Futurists such as Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni and Gino Severini and explores art movements reacting to Futurism. Highlights include Boccioni's dynamic bronze Unique Forms of Continuity in Space 1913 and Picasso's Head of a Woman (Fernande) 1909 as well as major works by artists such as Braque, Malevich and Duchamp.

StreetArtAttack!
Vienna StreetArt
Here are some nice shots from Vienna, I've made them last week as I was walking through the city centre and the museumsquarter (MQ). I think the MQ is one of the coolest places to be in Vienna because you can chill out, meet new mates, visit the MuMoK, which is the Museum of Modern Arts and there are also some fancy design stores, cocktail bars and bookshops. Although I'm still of the opinion that Vienna isn't really a hotspot of contemporary art or culture, when I go to the MQ, I feel like I would be in a temple of modernArt.
Some pics from the MQ: Space Invaders, ElevatorArt, funny creatures on the wall and something more simple, but decorative. If you are in Vienna and you'd like to see modernArt, you should definitely go to the MQ!

Cy Twombly visits Vienna
Cy Twombly @ MuMoK
Sensations of the Moment
04/06/09 - 11/10/09
The American artist Cy Twombly (born in 1928) is regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Starting off from abstract expressionism he developed his own original style using writing-like signs which he exaggerated in size into monumental, large-format canvases. The presentation in the MUMOK—the first in Austria—brings together works from all periods of his oeuvre and presents a new cycle of works specially created for the show. In Twombly’s pictures and sculptures the ancient myths of the Mediterranean world are evoked though it is the incidental and underlying that is the focal point. The alternation between sensitivity and vulgarity, filigree technique and expressivity constitute the enormous tension in the works. The exhibition, presented as a retrospective, brings together genres that, up till now, have generally been shown separately – sculpture, painting, drawing, graphic works and photographs. The works will be presented in such a way that the mutual reflection, influence and enrichment of the individual mediums will become clear and the aesthetic and conceptual guiding principles in Twombly’s art will become visible: the establishment of the colour white, the use of writing, the significance of the principles of collage and the aesthetic means of expression such as the melancholic down flow of heavily pastose pigment. Up till now it has not been widely known that ever since his time at Black Mountain College in the 1950s, Twombly has been continually occupied with photography. In the Vienna exhibition this wealth of photographic works will be integrated into the depiction of Twombly’s work for the first time.

Robert Capa in Budapest
Robert Capa @ LUMU
03/7/09 - 11/10/09
Don't miss the wonderful exhibition of Robert Capa's photos at the LUMU in Budapest (H).
One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century, Robert Capa was born in Budapest, on October 22, 1913, as Endre Ernő Friedmann. He started to work as a photographer in the 1930s, first as a correspondent of Dephot, a Berlin-based agency. In 1933 he moved to Paris, where he befriended André Kertész, Henri Cartier-Bresson and David Seymour (Chim), and met with the great love of his life, Gerda Taro, also a photographer. He changed his name to Robert Capa in 1935, and his pictures of the 1936-1937 Spanish civil war were already published under this nom de plume. He immigrated to the US in 1939. Between 1941 and 1945, he worked on the European scenes of the war for Life magazine. He was one of the founders of the Magnum Photos agency. He died in May 1954, when he stepped on a landmine in Vietnam.

Rovinj's centre
I discovered a wonderful, picturesque ArtCity: Rovinj (HR). There are many art galleries and museums, this small city at the Adria is a real paradise for art lovers. Some art schools and universities have courses here because of the inspireing site of Rovinj. If you don't know where to go this summer, visit Rovinj. (nearest airports: Trieste (I) and Pula (HR))
