Dear All,
I thought I would share with you some of the exhibitions online that were done between 1999 and 2000 by a now extinct-converted into another name Foundation of which I was cultural consultant. Before the online exhibitions died out, my webmaster saved them to his server that hosts both Ars Cives and Bladesign. Please click here to access the main page. There will soon be another exhibition, but I will update you all in due time. As the internet progresses and we all are active utilizing this virtual citizenship media of communicating, I think that in today's world there is very few untouched territories. By this I want to signify that I continue my belief that everything is linked, everything is part of one entire system, or an organism. While I highly respect specialization (we all become somehow more specialized through our professions) I think that it represents a close-up picture that can be further enriched with a zoom out. Just the other day I was discussing with a dear friend about the intellectual's prejudice about swords and how Museums were not open to contemporary swords, they just view them on a historical context. It was with great joy that my friend replied reminding me of the work of the Guggenheim NY and their past exhibition The Art of the Motorcycle. It just made a spark. In fact analogies are part of the picture. You have this Philippe Charriol's watch ![]() and then you have this cable forged blade ![]() and to me it is exactly the same root. To next post ![]() |
