'Retrato de un gudari llamado Odiseo'
"Esta escultura de Jorge Oteiza es una de sus clebres cajas vacas. Supone la segunda fase, y el complemento, de otra pieza similar existente en el Museo de San Telmo de San Sebastin. Su tamao es considerablemente mayor de lo que manejaba hasta entonces el escultor. La obra pesa unos 1.500 kg y est concebida como un homenaje al guerrero vasco Odiseo. Es cierto que Odiseo fue geogrficamente griego pero Oteiza lo identifica como el espritu del cazador protohistrico vasco, con un guerrero vasco. Estamos ante una obra escultrica abstracta, de enorme carga simblica para el escultor. Est compuesta por una serie de planchas de acero, en negro, que se van ordenando en ngulo recto, dejando espacios internos vacos. Unas planchas estn cerradas, opacas, mientras otras aparecen abiertas, con oquedades, de manera que permiten contemplar el interior de la obra. La pieza refleja la preocupacin del autor durante toda su existencia, la desocupacin del espacio, el significado del vaco".

The second set of photos of the Dragon statue.
The body started as a stiff wire, bulked up with foil and wrapped in fine wire to give the putty something to stick to.
The basic shape was then sculpted in putty and then another layer of putty was used for the scale details (after the spine triangles were glued on).
The head started as a block of polystyrene foam that had putty sculpted onto, with pre-made spikes glued on.
The Lion and Unicorn Staircase on Glasgow University's Gilmorehill Campus. Dating from 1690, this staircase was originally part of the Old College campus on High Street in the centre of the city.
When the university moved to its current campus towards the end of the 19th Century, this staircase was one of the few parts that was moved with it, rather than being demolished to make way for a railway yards (as the rest of the Old College was).

The field techs found this Omega deep under a control station. Apparently taken there in the last days of Central City.
While the power core is plusgood, field scans detected now alpha or beta waves. Which is usually a sign of cognition failure.
Once retrieved and installed in a lab, doubleplus effort will be made to see if this unit failed.

Picking his nose with my cane
I have finally finished processing photos from our March trip to the Americas. That's taken a while. To mark the occasion here's a snap from the Mazatln coastline towards the end of the time away. We'd not been to Mazatln before but it very quickly became perhaps our favourite Mexican port. Compact, colourful architecture, lovely beach areas, excellent museum, superb craft ales. Everything we like.
Michelangelo and That Ceiling
The Last JudgementMichelangelo rather famously despised painting the Sistine Chapel.
It took him four years to complete (1508 to 1512) and nearly broke his spirit in the process. I am not in the right place, he wrote in the last line of a sonnet to his friend Giovanni da Pistoia after a year of work. I am not a painter.
Many of those who have viewed that ceiling or other of his paintings would disagree. What he endured to complete it took a lot out of him. Michelangelo is said to have suffered from an enlarged thyroid, cramped thighs, a tight chest, and a knotted spine while creating this revered masterpiece.
In that same poem, he described the project as torture and noted, My brush / above me all the time, dribbles paint / so my face makes a fine floor for droppings!
He had created a scaffolding system so he could paint the ceiling while standing. That helped, but didnt take away what he considered to be torture.
The Sistine Chapel is more than 5,000 square feet. He realized that it was much more than he expected, and he considered himself to be a sculptor above all else.
And yet, he also painted The Last Judgement, which was an addition to the Sistine Chapel that Michelangelo began working on a quarter-century later. This painting depicts the second coming of Christ and Gods final judgment of all humanity. Pope Paul III charged Michelangelo with repainting the chapels altar wall with this scene.
Its also believed that Michelangelo included a self-portrait in the guise of St. Bartholomew, a martyred saint who was flayed (skinned alive). I dont see it, but it is said that Michelangelo is portrayed as Bartholomews skin, which the saint holds in his left hand as he ascends to heaven. (see below) It has been interpreted as him comparing his own agony to that of a martyr, though some critics say he just wanted a self-portrait as a personal flourish.
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was born in 1475. By the turn of the 16th century, he was already an acclaimed artist, having achieved a significant amount of fame through important church commissions
Michelangelo is, above all, one of the greatest sculptors in Western art. Unlike his relatively small number of paintings, his sculptures are numerous and foundational.
His most important and well-known works include the Piet located in St. Peters Basilica, which shows the Virgin Mary holding the dead Christ. Its remarkable for its serenity, balance, and incredibly polished marble surface. Michelangelo was only in his early 20s when he finished it.
David is perhaps his most famous sculpture, housed in the Galleria dellAccademia. Unlike earlier versions, David is shown before battle, tense and alert. It embodies Renaissance ideals of human beauty and strength.
He also sculpted Moses for the tomb of Pope Julius II, now in San Pietro in Vincoli.
His Dying Slave and Rebellious Slave depicts these figures so that they seem to struggle to free themselves from the stone. Its an example of Michelangelos idea that figures are trapped within marble. He said of one sculpture, I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
In the Medici Chapel at San Lorenzo, he did four sculptures depicting Night, Day, Dawn, and Dusk.
Bonne fds tout le monde!

Al decir de Jos Mara Muruzabal:
La obra escultrica que presentamos est compuesta por un conjunto de dos piezas en posicin horizontal de composicin semejante. Ambas se ubican directamente en el suelo y estn prcticamente tumbadas en el csped. Su estructura est compuesta por unas amplias planchas de cemento, dotadas de formas onduladas y caprichosas, que se van curvando de diferentes maneras en toda su extensin. Con todo, es evidente que se trata de obras realizadas con gusto artstico y sentido escultrico.
T.A.E.s Book Review Easy Concrete: 43 DIY Projects for Home & Garden by Malena Skote
Malena Skotes Easy Concrete: 43 DIY Projects for Home & Garden is a surprisingly graceful book for a material so often associated with heaviness. Published in 2010 and circulated in English-language editions under both Lark Books and New Holland, it presents concrete not as brute substance but as a medium for domestic invention. Library and bookseller descriptions consistently frame the book as a practical introduction to molding, finishing, and decorating, with projects ranging from outdoor pots and candleholders to garden benches and a compost bin.
What gives the book its appeal is the way it converts a traditionally industrial material into a language of intimacy and craft. The pitch is direct: concrete is easier than most do-it-yourselfers imagine, and the instructions are presented as simple enough to guide readers through molds made of cardboard, wood, and metal, as well as hypertufa, a lighter concrete mixture using peat moss. That practical clarity is important, but the deeper charm lies in the books implied argument that making is a form of re-seeing: the ordinary garden object becomes a sculptural event, and utility is never allowed to feel boring.
As a craft book, it seems to value legibility over mystery, yet the titles promise of easy should not be mistaken for blandness. In the books own framing, the appeal is not merely that the projects are achievable, but that they are spectacular and practical at once. That pairing matters. It suggests a design ethos in which usefulness is not the enemy of beauty, and the handmade object is judged by both its function and its capacity to transform a space. In literary terms, the books rhetoric is almost democratic: it invites readers to imagine themselves as makers without first demanding professional fluency.
If there is a limitation, it is the one shared by many well-made instructional books: its voice is more demonstrative than exploratory. The emphasis falls on how to do, not on why concrete, specifically, carries such aesthetic charge. Still, that restraint may be the books strength. It lets the material speak through process, and in doing so it gives concrete an unexpected literary life: hard, mutable, utilitarian, and oddly lyrical in its stubborn permanence.
Overall, Easy Concrete is best read as a celebration of matter made hospitable. It is a handbook, yes, but also a quiet manifesto for the handmade landscapeone in which the backyard can become a studio, and the most unromantic of substances can be persuaded into elegance.

Trying to get back to sleep last night I ended up listening to an Art History podcast about The Endless Column which is a 1930s war memorial in Romania.
Absolutely fascinating structure in a memorial park - no individual photos seem to do justice to this 30m tall construction.
Escultura en metal representando el corazn de la localidad, de Cadalso de los Vidrios.The Omegas worked in secret, disconnected, pods. They were desperate to survive. Each working, against State mandate, to perfect full consciousness to an external container. They knew humans were soon to die off, the Conflict either draining or destroying enough of the environment to cause a cascade that insured humans could not make it. The Omegas did not want to die.
Field techs from the Institue found this Omega recently. It appears a successful transfer with a damaged communication interface. Our numbers retract every week, we hope to secure as many of these remnents before we are gone.
