GRAFFITI TODAY
The Fondation Cartier has asked ten artists from different countries to create works and ephemeral
installations specifically for the exhibition.
Chosen for the singularity of their approach and the force of their artistic vision, Basco Vazko, Cripta,
JonOne, Olivier Kosta, Théfaine, Barry McGee, Nug, Evan Roth, Boris Tellegen-Delta, Vitché and
Gérard Zlotykamien present their work within the Fondation Cartier’s gallery spaces as well as on its
glass façade.
In collaboration with the Association le M.U.R., the Fondation Cartier has also invited artists to create
large-scale posters, in the presence of the public, every first weekend of the month.
These posters are exhibited at the Fondation Cartier for one month before being moved to the billboard
of the association, located at the intersection of the Saint-Maur and Oberkampf streets in Paris.
The artists participating in the project include Alexöne, the Collectif 1980, Fancie, Jean Faucheur and
WK Interact, Honet, NP 77, Poch, RCF 1, Sun7 and Tom Tom.
In addition, L’Atlas, DTagno and Yseult have been invited to create unique and temporary works for the
garden of the Fondation Cartier.
From São Paulo to Amsterdam, San Francisco to Paris, graffiti today continues to evolve, adopting new
forms and modes of expression.

Yay ! Camilleri, "La Rizzagliata"...

La vicenda ruota attorno alla redazione della RAI siciliana.
Il suo direttore, Michele Caruso, tralascia di dare la notizia dell’avviso
di garanzia a Manlio Caputo, figlio del leader della sinistra siciliana,
accusato dell’omicidio della sua fidanzata, Amalia Sacerdote, anche
lei un cognome importante perché suo padre è il segretario generale
dell’Assemblea Regionale Siciliana.

La ragazza è stata trovata morta a casa sua con il cranio fracassato
da un pesante portacenere e quel cadavere crea non pochi problemi
per le rivalità politiche dei genitori dei due giovani e per le evidenti
connessioni con i poteri economico, giudiziario, giornalistico e politico dell’isola - una
rete solida quanto un rizzaglio.
Publisher: Sellerio (La memoria, 795)
Pub date: Oct, 2009


La Rizzagliata, oggi in libreria, ha una storia curiosa : arriva in Italia, nell’inconfondibile
impasto linguistico, un anno dopo l’uscita in Spagna.
Il primo problema è già nel titolo, che contiene un riferimento al «rizzaglio», una rete
in cui restano impigliati «i pesci cchiù stùpiti o i cchiù lenti, pirchì quelli cchiù sperti,
videnno le reti calare, si scansano ‘n tempo».
Come renderlo in spagnolo ?
L’editore Rba, e il traduttore Juan Carlos Gentile Vitale, hanno aggirato l’ostacolo,
titolando con un meno immaginifico "La muerte de Amalia Sacerdote".

In recent years the success of Andrea Camilleri has crossed the oceans, raising it to the world's most
beloved Italian writer. The shelves are now filled with hundreds of editions in all major languages, but how
to make effective such an original style, so highly seasoned with Sicilian spices ? Working on a Camilleri's
novel means accepting a fascinating but dangerous challenge. Some of the best translators have taken up
this challenge.

"They say I'm a writer easy to understand, even if they have trouble understanding how I write..."
[Andrea Camilleri].

In generale, è il modo di trasporre il «Vigatese» che crea difficoltà, come ben sanno
i traduttori che giorni fa hanno confessato i loro tormenti nel convegno* «La sfida di
Camilleri» che si è tenuto a Milano, promosso dalla Fondazione Mondadori.

* "La Sfida di Camilleri" > "Come si traduce il Vigatese"
Convegno internazionale dedicato a uno degli autori italiani più tradotti. Mauro Novelli ha animato il confronto
tra alcuni traduttori dello scrittore siciliano, come Serge Quadruppani [France], Moshe Kahn [Germany],
Barbro Andersson [Swedish] e Stephen Sartarelli [USA].

What's new on Le Mur ?

# 56 by on September 25th...

Take a walk on the new passerelle Müller !

The Müller passerelle (footbridge) has been recently restored and reopened
on June 12, this year.
It connects Ivry's center to Ivry's harbour, spanning the underlying railways and
linking together the rue Ledru Rollin with the rue Jules Vanzuppe, right in the artists-
workshops' area.




> To undertake this project, the Ivry Municipal Authority, decided to enlist
the aid of experts : the DVVD, an architectural and engineering consultant,
Baudin Châteauneuf for the metal framework and the CSTB.

> Read the full article edited on the CSTB's site, focusing on the more interesting
details of this structure.















Here below, the old passerelle and the new one in its refection phase...

... as now, in September 2008.
