1. Leigh Bowery!

Tate Modern, London, 27 February-31 August

V londýnskom Tate Modern prebieha od 27. februára do 31. augusta 2025 výstava venovaná Leighovi Bowerymu, ikonickej postave londýnskej klubovej scény 80. a 90. rokov. Bowery bol známy svojimi extravagantnými kostýmami a provokatívnymi performanciami, ktoré spochybňovali tradičné hranice medzi umením a životom. Výstava predstavuje jeho spolupráce s významnými umelcami, ako boli maliar Lucian Freud a choreograf Michael Clark, čím zdôrazňuje jeho vplyv na rôzne umelecké oblasti. Návštevníci môžu vidieť množstvo artefaktov vrátane Boweryho kostýmov, fotografií a osobných predmetov, ktoré ilustrujú jeho neustálu snahu o sebavyjadrenie a posúvanie hraníc. Táto retrospektíva ponúka fascinujúci pohľad na život a dielo umelca, ktorý odmietal byť zaradený do konkrétnej kategórie a neustále sa usiloval o prekonávanie konvencií.

Od 7. marca do 9. júna 2025 sa v amsterdamských múzeách Van Gogha a Stedelijk koná výstava „Anselm Kiefer: Sag mir wo die Blumen sind“. Táto jedinečná spolupráca medzi dvoma významnými múzeami predstavuje diela nemeckého umelca Anselma Kiefera, ktoré sú inšpirované tvorbou Vincenta van Gogha. Návštevníci môžu vidieť Kieferove monumentálne práce, vrátane nových diel, ktoré odrážajú jeho fascináciu Van Goghovými motívmi, ako sú slnečnice a hviezdna noc.

Výstava obsahuje dve hlavné série diel: „Amalgams“, monumentálne bronzové sochy, ktoré reinterpretujú tradičné verejné monumenty a zdôrazňujú témy rasy, identity a odolnosti, a „Graphts“, kde Cave po prvýkrát predstavuje rozpoznateľné autoportréty obklopené kvetinovými motívmi a vintage servírovacími táckami, čím skúma otázky identity a spoločenských štruktúr. Táto výstava zároveň inauguruje nové priestory galérie v historickej budove Clock Tower Building v Tribeca, čo dodáva dielam ďalší rozmer v kontexte premeny a obnovy.

4. Imagining Black Diasporas: 21st-Century Art and Poetics

Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Los Angeles, Dec. 3, 2024 – Aug. 3, 2025

Od 3. decembra 2024 do 3. augusta 2025 hostí Losangeleské múzeum umenia (LACMA) výstavu „Imagining Black Diasporas: 21st-Century Art and Poetics“. Táto výstava skúma estetické prepojenia medzi 60 umelcami pôsobiacimi v Afrike, Európe a Amerike, čím ponúka pohľad na takmer štvrťstoročie tvorby černošských umelcov. Medzi vystavujúcimi sú etablovaní aj začínajúci umelci, ako Igshaan Adams, Mark Bradford, Sanford Biggers, Nick Cave, Deana Lawson, Ibrahim Mahama, Abdoulaye Ndoye, Wangechi Mutu, Lorna Simpson a Yinka Shonibare. Projekt rozširuje pan-africký výstavný kánon tým, že predstavuje umelcov pôsobiacich pozdĺž tichomorského okruhu, čím zdôrazňuje rozmanitosť a bohatstvo černošskej diaspóry v 21. storočí.

5. Pirouette: Turning Points in Design

January 26, 2025 – October 18, 2025, The Museum of Modern Art

Od 26. januára do 18. októbra 2025 hostí newyorské Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) výstavu „Pirouette: Turning Points in Design“. Táto výstava predstavuje objekty, ktoré experimentovali s novými materiálmi, technológiami a konceptmi, ponúkali nekonvenčné riešenia bežných problémov a mali hlboký vplyv na dizajn aj svet ako taký. Medzi vystavenými dielami sú známe ikony, ako logo „I ♥️ NY“ od Miltona Glasera z roku 1976, ktoré sa stalo univerzálnym symbolom, a technologické míľniky, ako prenosný kazetový prehrávač Walkman či osobný počítač Macintosh 128K, ktoré zmenili naše vnímanie osobného priestoru. Výstava zdôrazňuje, ako dizajn pomáha ľuďom prinášať zmenu alebo sa jej prispôsobiť, a predstavuje jeho transformačnú silu v časoch spoločenských a kultúrnych zmien.

Výstava „Pirouette: Turning Points in Design“ v MoMA ponúka fascinujúci pohľad na dizajnérske inovácie, ktoré formovali moderný svet. Kurátori zhromaždili diela, ktoré nielen reflektujú technologický pokrok, ale aj menia spôsob, akým ľudia interagujú s objektmi v každodennom živote. Okrem známych ikon sa návštevníci môžu tešiť na menej známe, no rovnako revolučné dizajnérske koncepty, ktoré ovplyvnili rôzne priemyselné odvetvia. Výstava tak ukazuje, že dizajn nie je len estetickou záležitosťou, ale aj kľúčovým nástrojom pre spoločenskú a kultúrnu transformáciu.

6. Cy Twombly

January 23–March 22, 2025, 980 Madison Avenue, New York

Helpful hosts can design guest packages built around proposals, anniversaries, or just a special getaway. Visit fifeanddruminn.com for more details about how a bed and breakfast makes for a memorable travel experience.

Na šiestom poschodí sú prezentované maľby z rokov 1968 až 1971, často označované ako „tabule“, ktoré spájajú prvky maľby, kresby a písania. Výstava ponúka jedinečný pohľad na tvorbu Twomblyho a jeho prínos k minimalistickému a konceptuálnemu umeniu.

 

 

 

 

 

7. Joseph Kosuth: The Question

Sprüth Magers, London, Fri 24 Jan 2025 to Sat 15 Mar 2025

Od 24. januára do 15. marca 2025 hostí galéria Sprüth Magers v Londýne výstavu „The Question“ na počesť 80. narodenín konceptuálneho umelca Josepha Kosutha. Výstava mapuje jeho umeleckú dráhu od 60. rokov až po súčasnosť, vrátane diel ako „Self-described twice [pink]“ (1966) a „C.S. II #11“ (1988), ktoré odhaľujú limity tradičného vnímania umenia. Kosuthove práce skúmajú fluidnosť významu a kontextuálnu závislosť, čím vyzývajú divákov prehodnotiť ich základné predpoklady o komunikácii. Výstava ponúka jedinečnú príležitosť pochopiť, ako Kosuthove diela kriticky reagujú na spoločenské a politické zmeny, pričom umenie vníma ako dynamický priestor, kde sa neustále prelínajú myšlienky o umení, jazyku a spoločnosti.

 

8. Azzedine Alaïa, Thierry Mugler: 1980-1990 two decades of artistic affinities

Fondation Azzedine Alaïa, 18 Rue de la Verrerie 75004 Paris

Táto výstava skúma profesionálny vzťah medzi dvoma ikonickými módnymi návrhármi, ktorí napriek svojim rozdielnym verejným osobnostiam zdieľali hlboké kreatívne spojenie. Návštevníci môžu vidieť, ako ich vzájomný vplyv formoval ich tvorbu, pričom oba návrhári zdôrazňovali precíznosť, štruktúru a ikonické zobrazenie žien vo svojej práci. Výstava ponúka nový pohľad na Muglerovu tvorbu, pričom zdôrazňuje praktické aspekty jeho dizajnov a odhaľuje, ako jeho podpora pomohla Alaïovi prejsť od súkromnej tvorby k verejnému uznaniu.

9. Elmgreen & Dragset: Momentan nicht erreichbar

10. Tom Wesselmann: Up Close

Almine Rech, London, Wed 5 Mar 2025 to Sat 12 Apr 2025

Od 5. marca do 12. apríla 2025 hostí galéria Almine Rech v Londýne výstavu „Up Close“, ktorá je šiestou samostatnou prezentáciou diel Toma Wesselmanna v tejto galérii.

Wesselmann, významný predstaviteľ amerického pop-artu, je známy svojimi odvážnymi a erotickými zobrazeniami ženského tela. Výstava „Up Close“ ponúka návštevníkom možnosť preskúmať jeho jedinečný prístup k figuratívnemu umeniu a jeho schopnosť kombinovať humor so sexualitou. Táto prezentácia zdôrazňuje Wesselmannovu schopnosť transformovať každodenné objekty a intímne momenty do ikonických umeleckých diel, ktoré stále provokujú a inšpirujú.

Vieme akos a hovorí „French Disco on French Riviera“, ale odkedy je Art Basel v Paríži, tak pre mňa už platí aj „French Disco in Paris“. Ja a moje myšlienkové pochody dosť často spadáme do vysokej abstrakcie, ale tentokrát je to „Art, Architecture and Music meets REALITY“. Moje najobľubenejšie životné spojenie.

Krajina disca?

Na toto neviem exaktne odpovedať, ale keďže sme 2x počúvali francúzke disco na Francúzkej riviére, cítim sa, že pre mňa to je určite krajina tohto hudobného žánru 70.tych rokov. Do určitého veku mi Francúzko prišlo dosť vzdialené, ale to iba kvôli nevedomosti čo všetko ponúka a žiaľ som musela samovzdelávaním prísť na to sama. Ale oplatilo sa.

Beh cez Louvre

Tento život mi príde neskutočne fascinujúci, nazvala by som to pesničkou od Davida Bowieho „Speed of Life“. V jeden ďen mi príde múzeum Louvre ako príjemný skanzen minulosti a v druhý deň, keď zistím, že pyramídovú dostavbu Louvre realizoval čínsko-americký architekt I. M. Pei, sa stávam najväčším fanúšikom tejto inštitúcie. Okrem iného body Louvre dodáva aj ikonický beh vo filme od Jeana Luca Goddarda – Band of Outsiders a The Dreamers od Bernarda Bertolucci-ho. A nebudem spomínať, že Jean Luc Goddard natočil The Rolling Stones pri Symphaty for The Devil. 

Joseph Beuys Laughing

Pariž som do roku 2019 vnímala iba ako mesto s Eiffelovkou, ale odkedy som tam zažila párty ako z Las Vegas a prvý Art Basel – zmenila som názor. Mohlo mi napovedať aj to, že tam má sídlo americká galéria Marian Goodman Gallery (kde v NYC pobočke som stretla Johna Baldessariho). Okrem iného tam majú aj kníhkupectvo, kde sa mi podarilo kúpiť platňu so smiechom Josepha Beuysa. Toto mi príde naozaj úzasný nápad (miešajú sa vo mne pocity bizarností a dobrého konceptu), okrem iného kúpila som aj knihu a tričko s tématikou Johna Baldessariho.

Walter Gropius

by Michaela Slobodová

Walter Gropius (1883–1969) bol nemecko-americký architekt a zakladateľ Bauhausu, ktorý je považovaný za jedného z priekopníkov modernistickej architektúry. Po emigrácii do Spojených štátov v roku 1937 pôsobil ako profesor na Harvard Graduate School of Design a spolupracoval s významnými architektmi, ako bol Marcel Breuer. V roku 1959 získal prestížnu AIA Gold Medal.

Jedným z jeho významných diel je Pan Am Building v New Yorku, dnes známe ako MetLife Building. Tento mrakodrap, dokončený v roku 1963, navrhli Gropius spolu s Pietrom Belluschim a Richardom Rothom. Budova je vysoká 246 metrov a má 59 poschodí, čo z nej v čase dokončenia robilo jednu z najväčších kancelárskych budov na svete s rozlohou 263 985 m².

Don’t wait. The purpose of our lives is to be happy!

Pan Am Building je charakteristické svojím osemuholníkovým tvarom a fasádou z prefabrikovaných betónových panelov, čo bolo v New Yorku novinkou. Pôvodne slúžilo ako sídlo spoločnosti Pan American Airways a na streche budovy sa nachádzal heliport, ktorý poskytoval rýchle spojenie na letisko JFK. Tento heliport bol však v roku 1977 uzavretý po tragickej nehode.

Gropiusov prínos k dizajnu Pan Am Building spočíval v jeho modernistickom prístupe a dôraze na funkčnosť a jednoduchosť. Jeho spolupráca s ďalšími architektmi priniesla ikonickú stavbu, ktorá dodnes dominuje panoráme New Yorku a odráža Gropiusovu víziu moderného mestského dizajnu.

Spojenie estetiky a funkčnosti

Walter Gropius sa vo svojej tvorbe usiloval o spojenie estetiky a funkčnosti, čo sa odráža aj v jeho prístupe k veľkým projektom, ako bolo Pan Am Building. Aj keď bola táto budova v čase svojho dokončenia kontroverzná – niektorí kritici ju považovali za príliš masívnu a rušivú v panoráme New Yorku – dnes je vnímaná ako dôležitý príklad povojnovej modernistickej architektúry.

Gropiusov vplyv siaha ďaleko za jednotlivé budovy. Jeho filozofia Bauhausu, založená na integrácii umenia, remesla a priemyselnej výroby, formovala generácie architektov a dizajnérov. V Spojených štátoch pomohol presadiť modernizmus v akademickej sfére a ovplyvnil vývoj moderných výškových budov, ktoré spájajú efektivitu s vizuálnou jednoduchosťou.

 

Hoci Pan Am Building nebolo jeho najradikálnejším dielom, jeho konštrukcia a dizajn ukazujú, ako sa Gropiusova vízia pretavila do veľkomestskej architektúry druhej polovice 20. storočia. Dodnes zostáva jedným z ikonických príkladov jeho vplyvu na urbanizmus a komerčnú architektúru.

 

🔹 Bauhaus a minimalizmus – Gropius založil Bauhaus v roku 1919, no škola bola trikrát presťahovaná a nakoniec zatvorená nacistami v roku 1933. Aj napriek tomu jeho filozofia ovplyvnila moderný dizajn po celom svete.

🔹 Dizajn bez podpisu – Gropius veril, že architektúra a dizajn by nemali byť o jednotlivcovi, ale o tímovej práci. Preto sa vyhýbal podpisovaniu svojich návrhov a podporoval kolektívnu tvorbu.

🔹 Pan Am Building a Newyorčania – Keď bolo Pan Am Building dokončené, mnohí Newyorčania ho nenávideli, pretože zasahovalo do výhľadu na Chrysler Building a považovali ho za „betónové monštrum“.

🔹 Architekt, ktorý nevedel kresliť? – Napriek tomu, že bol jedným z najvýznamnejších architektov 20. storočia, Gropius nebol veľmi zručný v kreslení. Často si najímal asistentov, ktorí jeho vízie prenášali na papier.

🔹 Gropius a automobilový dizajn – Mal veľký záujem o priemyselný dizajn a v 30. rokoch navrhol koncept auta pre spoločnosť Adler. Jeho návrh bol aerodynamický, minimalistický, ale nikdy nebol masovo vyrábaný.

🔹 Heliport na Pan Am Building – Strecha budovy krátko slúžila ako heliport pre lety na letisko JFK. Bol to luxusný spôsob cestovania, no po tragickej nehode v roku 1977 bol heliport zatvorený.

🔹 Nečakaný vplyv na Apple? – Dizajnér Jony Ive, ktorý vytvoril ikonický vzhľad Apple produktov, sa inšpiroval filozofiou Bauhausu. Gropiusov dôraz na jednoduchosť a funkčnosť tak nepriamo ovplyvnil aj modernú elektroniku.

Gropiusova práca a myšlienky sú dodnes prítomné v architektúre, dizajne a každodennom živote. Jeho minimalistické princípy sa odrážajú v moderných budovách, nábytku a dokonca aj v technologických produktoch. 🔥

Peking, hlavné mesto Číny, je známe svojou bohatou históriou a kultúrnym dedičstvom. Ja som bola v Číne 2krát a po danej skúsenosti som si povedala, že tam už nikdy nechcem/nepotrebujem ísť. Toto je na živote najkrajšie – neustále potvrdzovanie, že platí song od Davida Bowieho Changes

Prvá cesta do Číny bola u mňa v roku 2009 – bol to poznávací výlet zameraný na architektúru a musím povedať, že doteraz z neho cítim šťastie. Najintenzívejšie si pamätám, ako sme išli po nekonečne dlhej diaľnici a zrazu sa pred nami zjavila budova CCTV od Rema Koolhaasa. Vtedy som opäť pocítila zamilovanie. Presne to isté ako. keď som zbadala Keitha Richardsa. 

Druhá ceste prebehla asi pol roka na to – September 2010 Expo v Šanghaji. Bolo to asi moje najlepšie hudobné zladenie so životom – song od Davida Bowieho – China Girl. Pamätám si niekoľko vecí, ktoré vo mne zarezonovali. Začneme od tých najlepších. Dánsky pavilón od Bjarkeho Ingelsa – koncipovaný podobne ako  Guggnheim. A tu skutočne platilo viac je viac – ešte sa po tom pavilóne dalo voziť na bicykli. Ďalej si pamätám, že Slovenský pavilón ma vôbec neoslovil – keďže milujem „wow efekty“ na týchto typoch prehliadok v našoch pavilóne som ho nenašla. Okrem iného som zistila, že ja vôbec nie som stavaná na skupinové cestovanie. 

Peking: v posledných desaťročiach však mesto prešlo výraznou transformáciou, pričom moderná architektúra zohrala kľúčovú úlohu v jeho novom vzhľade. Mnohé z týchto súčasných stavieb navrhli renomovaní medzinárodní architekti, čím prispeli k dynamickému a inovatívnemu mestskému prostrediu.

Tu je niekoľko budov, ktoré naozaj musíte vidieť:

CCTV – Headquarters

Jedným z najvýraznejších príkladov modernej architektúry v Pekingu je sídlo Čínskej centrálnej televízie (CCTV). Túto unikátnu budovu navrhol holandský architekt Rem Koolhaas. Budova sa skladá z dvoch veží spojených dramatickým previsom, čo vytvára nezvyčajný tvar pripomínajúci ohnutú slučku. Tento dizajn nielenže upúta pozornosť, ale je aj technickým majstrovským dielom, ktoré odoláva zemetraseniam a silným vetrom.

„Vtáčie hniezdo“

Pekinský národný štadión, známy aj ako „Vtáčie hniezdo“, je ikonickou stavbou nachádzajúcou sa v olympijskej zelenej dedine v pekinskom okrese Čchao-jang. Navrhla ho švajčiarska architektonická firma Herzog & de Meuron v spolupráci s čínskym umelcom Aj Wej-wejom. Výstavba štadióna začala v decembri 2003 a bola dokončená v marci 2008, pričom celkové náklady dosiahli približne 3,5 miliardy jüanov (500 miliónov dolárov).

National Centre for the Performing Arts, NCPA

Národné centrum pre divadelné umenie (National Centre for the Performing Arts, NCPA) v Pekingu je významnou kultúrnou inštitúciou a architektonickou ikonou Číny. Nachádza sa v srdci Pekingu, západne od Námestia nebeského pokoja a Veľkej siene ľudu, v blízkosti Zakázaného mesta. Jeho futuristický dizajn vytvoril francúzsky architekt Paul Andreu.

National Aquatic Center

Pekinský národný vodný športový komplex, známy aj ako „Vodná kocka“ (Water Cube), je významnou architektonickou pamiatkou nachádzajúcou sa v Olympijskom parku v pekinskej štvrti Čchao-jang. Bol postavený pre Letné olympijské hry 2008 a slúžil ako dejisko plaveckých, potápačských a synchronizovaných plaveckých súťaží. Počas týchto hier tu bolo prekonaných 25 svetových rekordov, čo podčiarkuje význam a kvalitu tohto zariadenia.

Budova bola navrhnutá architektonickou firmou PTW Architects v spolupráci s inžinierskou spoločnosťou Arup a čínskou spoločnosťou CSCEC. Jej jedinečný dizajn je inšpirovaný prírodnou štruktúrou mydlových bublín, čo sa prejavuje v charakteristickom vzhľade fasády. Exteriér tvorí sieť ETFE vankúšov, ktoré umožňujú prienik prirodzeného svetla a zároveň poskytujú vynikajúcu tepelnú izoláciu. Tento inovatívny prístup k dizajnu a materiálom získal medzinárodné uznanie a ocenil udržateľnosť a estetiku stavby.

Linked Hybrid

Linked Hybrid je moderný architektonický komplex v Pekingu, navrhnutý architektonickým štúdiom Steven Holl Architects. Dokončený v roku 2009, tento 220 000 štvorcových metrov veľký projekt sa nachádza v blízkosti bývalých mestských hradieb Pekingu a predstavuje inovatívny prístup k mestskému plánovaniu. stevenholl.com

Komplex pozostáva z ôsmich prepojených veží, ktoré sú spojené sériou nadzemných mostov na 18. poschodí, známych ako „skyloop“. Tieto mosty poskytujú obyvateľom a návštevníkom prístup k rôznym verejným funkciám, ako sú kaviarne, galérie a fitness centrá, čím podporujú interakciu a komunitný život.

Chaoyang Park Plaza

Chaoyang Park Plaza je výrazný architektonický komplex nachádzajúci sa na južnom okraji Chaoyang Parku, najväčšieho parku v centrálnej obchodnej štvrti Pekingu. Tento 220 000 štvorcových metrov veľký projekt, dokončený v roku 2017, navrhlo architektonické štúdio MAD Architects pod vedením Ma Yansonga. 

Komplex pozostáva z desiatich budov, vrátane dvoch hlavných veží s výškami 120 a 108 metrov, ktoré sú prepojené zakrivenou strednou časťou. Dizajn je inšpirovaný tradičnou čínskou krajinomaľbou, pričom organické tvary budov evokujú hory a rieky, čím vytvárajú harmonické prepojenie medzi mestským prostredím a prírodou. Fasády veží sú pokryté čiernym tónovaným sklom, čo kontrastuje s okolnými budovami a dodáva komplexu jedinečný vizuálny charakter. Okrem kancelárskych a rezidenčných priestorov zahŕňa Chaoyang Park Plaza aj komerčné a rekreačné zariadenia, čím prispieva k dynamike a rozmanitosti mestskej štruktúry Pekingu.

Digital Beijing Building

Digital Beijing Building sa nachádza v olympijskom parku v Pekingu a bola postavená ako dátové a kontrolné centrum pre Letné olympijské hry v roku 2008. Navrhli ju architektonické štúdiá Studio Zhu-Pei a Urbanus.   

Po olympiáde sa budova transformovala na múzeum venované využitiu výpočtovej techniky počas olympijských hier a na výstavný priestor pre spoločnosti digitálnych technológií.

Štruktúra budovy pozostáva zo štyroch paralelných jedenásťposchodových obdĺžnikových blokov, ktoré sú prevažne obložené tmavým kameňom. Tieto bloky sú prepojené pešími mostami a rampami, čo vytvára dynamický a funkčný priestor. Digitálna budova Peking je príkladom integrácie architektúry a technológie, odrážajúc záväzok Číny k inováciám a modernosti.

DAY IN THE LIFE 2

by sloboda.tono

Rubrika „Day in the Life“ na blogu PinkPink zachytáva poetiku každodennosti – drobné okamihy, ktoré by inak zapadli prachom rutiny. Inšpirovaná legendárnou skladbou The Beatles, spája hudobný rytmus so spontánnosťou života. Fotografie v nej fungujú ako vizuálne haiku – minimalistické, ale nabité emóciami.

+ Fascinácia vecami okolo mňa. 

 

História skladby: Chaos a kontemplácia

„A Day in the Life“ z albumu Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) je ikonická skladba The Beatles, ktorá vznikla spojením dvoch odlišných hudobných nápadov – melancholickej, introspektívnej časti Johna Lennona a energického, pulzujúceho segmentu Paula McCartneyho. Pieseň reflektuje každodennú realitu 60. rokov, od banálnych správ v novinách po surrealistické stavy mysle. Jej orchestrálna explózia chaosu a rozplynutie do prázdnoty z nej robí zvukový ekvivalent snového prelínania všedného a transcendentného.

Sunset at the Palms tantalizes the taste buds with dining options including buffets, a la carte restaurants, room service, and private beach bar and grill amenities. The resort showcases the tastes of the island with Caribbean fusion cuisine, while providing a range of dining options to suit all tastes.

A wonderful moment for enjoying life
