Psy's Gangnam Style: One Billion Hits Today!


"Psy hits all the symbols of Gangnam (Seoul rich area) opulence, but each turns out to be something 
much more modest, as if suggesting that Gangnam-style wealth is not as fabulous
as it might seem."
From Onsemiro's blog 'My Dear Korea'.

Deeper inside the meaning, now...

THE ATLANTIC wrote: ''The video is rich with subtle references that, along with the song 
itself, suggest a subtext with a surprisingly subversive message about class and wealth 
in contemporary South Korean society''. [MORE]

'Chansons Coquines' at Pascaline Mulliez Gallery...

It was today, in the occasion of the opening of the exhibition dedicated to the painter
Jean-Paul Laixhay's work [Feb. 16 to April 7/2012].

Discovered by Peter Brook in the Tragedy of Carmen at the Bouffes du Nord Paris'
theater,
mezzo-soprano Hélène Delavault allies humour, perfect body language
and
a sharp tongue
well adapted to such a malicious repertoire:
'Couleur Absinthe', Chansons Incorrectes, which means... 'not very correct' songs.

[]
In this video, Hélène performs L'Amour au Passé Défini, Cyrille Lehn is at the piano.
(music Vincent Scotto, lyrics Géo Koger).
If you understand French, advanced French, you'll really enjoy
every single word!
Here are the lyrics.

Eko Nugroho, an Indonesian artist on Le Mur


Le M.U.R. - # 112 - Eko Nugroho - January 7/2012

Eko's Site

[] "FFR" is a collaboration project betwen DGTMB (Eko Nugroho) and Evily Candy Machine (Wedhar Riyadi).
'Fight For Rice' is the first documentary promoting merchandise-artists in Indonesia. It tells about a 'shop
project' in Yogyakarta initiated by Eko Nugroho.

The project was born to assist local artists in distributing their merchandise. Actually, it is not an individual
project, it involves several people from different backgrounds: by using their knowledge and wisdom, the
artists and the community members have created a micro-economy circuit as a strategy to overcome their
limits and survive.

New: a Beate Petersen & Nasseredin Mirza Video

A slice of the history of Persia in the second half of the 18th century in a beautiful and greatly
informative
Beate Petersen's video - a clever montage of animation and Nasser al-Din's
daguerrotypes, depicting the life and some deadly intrigues at the court of the Shah, where
women have had a huge influence. His mother and two favorites among his 84 women, in
particular, have determined the major political turning points of that time.


"In 1842, a Persian delegation visited Queen Victoria,
in England.
When they returned home, they brought
with them a Daguerrotype photographic camera, a gift
from the queen to the 11 year-old heir to the Persian
throne, Nasseredin Mirza.
The young heir fell in love
with the magical contraption.
In the following decades, he documented his life,
revealing to the public eye what the public eye was
never supposed to see..."



ناصرالدین شاه و 84 زن او is the result of a brilliant combination:
the
photographic documentation of Nasser al-Din through
Beate Petersen's magic looking glass
... with the added charm
of Milad
Movahedi
's soundtrack.



Beate Petersen © 2011 - "Nasser al-Din Shah & His 84 Wives"


A few women of the Shah's harem - from private life straight to posterity.

From the 'shah's illness and the calico cat' episode - I couldn't resist to such a cat story.

"After Nasseredin Shah's death, the older and respected women remained in the harem.
The others were sent back to their relatives with yearly pensions or they moved to the holy
cities of Karbala and Najaf. Anis o-Dolch survived her husband by only a few months."

Accountant Patò vanishes in 1890...

But now, in 2010, 120 years later, he is back
as...
'na stampa e 'na figura !

LA SCOMPARSA DI PATÒ [The Vanishing of Patò]
Challenging the allegations of L'Araldo di
Montelusa, edition of Monday 28 April 1890
- one of the precious documents 'unearthed'
by Andrea Camilleri and that constitute the
basis on which the Sicilian writer has been
able to build the imaginary and strange
adventure as well as the possible death of

Mr Pato - a recent survey, carried out in close collaboration between MM Camilleri, Mortelliti
and Nichetti,
gives us back the same man, priciso 'ntifico, in good shape and ready for a new
adventure...
the same adventure, in fact, brought by a movie.


Director of the Trinacria bank of Vigàta and notable of the town, Mr. Antonio Pato usually plays the role of Judas
in the 'Passion of Christ' for the traditional Venerdì Santo performance and each year,
as he commits suicide,
Judas disappears from the scene through a trapdoor disguised under his feet.

But in the year 1890, the accountant disappears once and for all
.
Is Patò dead or is he hiding ?

Murì Patò o s’ammucciò ?
The investigation is set in motion in Vigàta, revealing the usual rivalry between the Reali Carabinieri and the
Pubblica Sicurezza, punctuated by the provincial and local newspaper articles and some anonymous and spicy
commentaries that bloom on the walls of the city.
Rumors and gossip explode, heralds of a scandal that the authorities will suffocate... at the expense of truth.


[Trailer found on iVid.it]

This is the first film adaptation of a historical novel by Camilleri, partly because his detective
series, animated by his Inspector Montalbano is far more popular, at least in Italy, and has
already inspired a television series, rather poor in my opinion and I'm afraid it would require
a bigger talent to bring to the screen a historical novel by Camilleri, without betraying the
essence of his creation.
We can always wait until the movie comes out, no hurry.

LA SCOMPARSA DI PATÒ, Italy, 2010
Director: Rocco Mortelliti
Screenplay: Andrea Camilleri, Rocco Mortelliti, Maurizio Nichetti

Cast: Nino Frassica, Maurizio Casagrande, Neri Marcorè [Patò], Alessandra Mortelliti

Production: 13 Dicembre S.r.l.

Andrea Camilleri [wiki]
- Best of Sicily [a previous PPG post]
- From Montelusa to Vigàta [Sicily tour]
-
The Sage of Sicily,


In a recent interview, the writer points out, with his usual irony, the similarities between
the pressures exerted on the police in his novel, with those we still can find today in the late
Berlusconi's 'affairs'.

Citing Tomasi di Lampedusa in Il Gattopardo, Camilleri notes that even today, in Italy,
everything changes in such a way that nothing changes.

First TEDx Basque Country in Biarritz...

Initiated by Caroline Phillips, TEDster and holder
of the license TEDxBasqueCountry, this exceptional
event will take place at the Biarritz Bellevue-Casino,
on the French Basque coast
.

Don't miss it !



TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events, that bring people together to share a
TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks videos and live speakers combine
to
spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized
events
are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.


[G@tto first introduced Caro to TED Talks (well, sent her the link) but disclaims now any responsibility for
the following events
. Recognizing the scope of TED's formula 'Ideas Worth Spreading', Caroline Phillips
decided to attend TED India.
You certainly understand that this hadn't stopped there]...


[tedxbasquecountry]

- Theme : Dynamics of Peace
The world has never known a lasting peace time between different countries, people,
or neighbors, nor even between members of one family.
Because our world has not
experienced this state that we call peace, we do need to learn tolerance, cooperation
and sharing. In short, it seems we should change our behavior.
- Check out the Program
- and the Speakers...
