The cube

In geometry, a cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex.

The cube can also be called a regular hexahedron and is one of the five Platonic solids. It is a special kind of square prism, of rectangular parallelepiped and of trigonal trapezohedron.

 

 

The cube is dual to the octahedron. It has cubical symmetry (also called octahedral symmetry). It is special by being a cuboid and a rhombohedron.

Harris Lambrakis Quartet

 

The Harris Lambrakis Quartet was established in 2006 and since then has participated in a lot of concerts and music festivals in Athens and the rest of Greece.

The Centerpiece of the music is the modal jazz, drawing their main influences from John Coltrane, the world music and improvised music. With references to the East, the quartet is inspired by jazz harmonies, rhythms and melodies that remind the 1960′s and 1970′s.

Ghost Song

While I'm asleep

My spirit crawls out

Of my belly button

And goes down to the sea

 

To gather the wind

The wires and the shore

To wander the hills

Like a day gone before

When beauty was in season

Oh! Beauty in season!

Endangered by reason

Great love with no law

Today I woke

And my spirit was gone

Still on the shore

Where he truly belongs

So I call

For him

Across

The wind

Lieven Deconinck, Gaëtan Begerem and Robin De Vooght

Collective since 2000

Born in Ghent, Belgium

Live and work in Ghent, Belgium

Leo GABIN have worked as a collective since the early 2000's in a variety of media including video, painting, drawing and sculpture. Leo GABIN teaches as a collective at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent, where they received their Fine Art degrees.

Leo GABIN take inspiration from the internet's proliferation of media images, particularly the wealth of information that uncomfortably straddles the private and public realm, and harvest content from this never ending morass.

 

 

The work and methodology implicitly explores the transience and capriciousness that underpins youth culture. References to sex, violence and celebrity, nestle among a canny social critique that manifests through an aesthetic which combines the influence of the street art they were exposed to as teens with a consciousness of art world trends.

Monster on the Moon

This photo tribute is about Richard Kalinovski’s play Monster on the Moon, starring Dimitris Tarlow and Tamila Koulieva

Richard Kalinoski has been internationally acclaimed as the author of Beast on the Moon, an intimate drama about an Armenian immigrant couple in Milwaukee whose marriage is haunted by the 1915 genocide.

Essentially, Beast is a standard memory play with a theme of redemption through hope and a willingness to move forward instead of bitterly and obsessively clinging to the past. The narrator, an old man known only as Gentleman who turns out to be more than a bystander or witness to their life, adds to the viewer's sense of flipping through an old photo album and watching a page here and a page there spring to life.

Although not of Armenian heritage himself, Kalinoski was married to an Armenian woman for seven years.

The play has been translated into 12 languages, produced in 17 countries around the world, and showered with awards.

Don't loose your head

The heart your building out of rock

Is turning into sand

Cause you never took the time to think

What it means to be a man

You act like you got the answer

When the question's never asked

I've been to where your coming from

But the postcards weren't so bad

The knife I carry has been sharpened

On the mouths that won't keep shut

I'll stab at you in the darkness

Cause I'm trying to she'd some light

Your point of view is so meaningless

If you ever had one at all

All you seem to care about

Is who's gonna take the fall

Who's gonna take the fall for you

Don't loose your head

Now I can't do the time for you

Don't loose your head

Can you pay the price

INXS

King of the dogs

I got a piece of meat

In between my teeth

I'll bite your throat

If you move on me

I'm sovereign

Cause I'm the king of the dogs.

 

Though I'd like to thrill you

With an answer

I don't even own a pair of pants

I'm a dancer, baby!

I'm deadly

Cause I'm the king of the dogs.

 

I'm hanging out

Where the spirits dwell

I smell the things

That you cannot smell

I'm deadly

I'm the king of the dogs.

Far Away

Far Away / Mantalina Psoma

Rebecca Camhi gallery is pleased to present the third solo show of Mantalina Psoma entitled ‘’Far Away’’. Psoma was born in Athens in 1967 and studied painting at the Berlin School of Fine Arts.

 

While her work is based on painting she borrows elements from photography and film, capturing moments and emphasizing the atmosphere of the surroundings and the psyche of the depicted figures.

In her new work Mantalina Psoma presents mostly small paintings, which have a dual nature, they might be read independently and as part of a continuous variable story in space and time in which the viewer can revive their own memories and emotions.

 

Until: December 4, 2011

Better Together

 

Too many things I have to do

But if all of these dreams might find their way

Into my day to day scene

I'd be under the impression

I was somewhere in between

With only two

Just me and you

Not so many things we got to do

Or places we got to be

We'll sit beneath the mango tree now

 

I believe in memories

They look so, so pretty when I sleep

Hey now, and when I wake up,

You look so pretty sleeping next to me

But there is not enough time,

And there is no, no song I could sing

And there is no combination of words I could say

But I will still tell you one thing

We're better together.

You Already Know

The moment we forgot we were just good friends

I moved my arm her face went red again

One more bus home

Another silent weekend

 

Said love was painted gold

Like all things growing old

The paint peels and slowly falls

You already know

 

Looking out the glass

Always sit together

We both know we could be someone better

Not with our heads like London weather

 

Said love was painted gold

Like all things growing old

The paint peels and slowly falls

You already know

Bombay Bicycle Club

A prison of your own device

Dry The Rain

 

 

This is the definition of my life

Lying in bed in the sunrise

Choking on a vitamin tablet the doctor gave

In the hope of saving me

Mott's in the corner of the room

Junkyard fool with eyes of gloom

I asked him time again,

Take me in and dry the rain

 

Dusty brown boots in the corner by the ironing board

Spray-on dust is the greatest thing

Sure is the greatest thing

Since the light

Mott's in the corner of the room

Junkyard fool with eyes of gloom

I asked him time again

Take me in and dry the rain

I asked him time again,

Take me in and dry the rain

The rain, my rain now

 

 

If there's something inside that you wanna say

You can say it alright it'll be okay

I will be your light

How's It Gonna End ?

He had 3 whole dollars

A worn out car

And a wife who was

Leaving for good

LIfe's made of trouble

Worry pain and struggle

She wrote good bye in

The dust on the hood

They found a a map of Missouri

Lipstick on the glass

They must of left

In the middle of the nite

And I want to know

The same thing

Everyone wants to know

How it going to end?

Behind a smoke colored

Curtain, the girl

Disappeared, the found out

The ring was a fake

A tree born crooked

Will never grow straight

She sunk like a hammer in to the lake

A long lost letter and

And old leaky boat

Promises are never meant

To keep

And I want to know

The same thing

Everyone wants to know

How it going to end?

The barn leaned over

The vultures dried their wings

The moon climbed up an empty sky

The sun sank down behind the tree

On the hill

There's a killer and he's coming

Thru the rye

But maybe he's the Father

Of that lost little girl

It's hard to tell in this light

And I want to know

The same thing

Everyone wants to know

How it going to end?

[...]

THe sirens are snaking their

Way up the hill

It's last call somewhere in

The wordl

The reptiles blend in with the

Color of the street

Life is sweet at the edge

Of a razor

And down in the front row of

An old picture show

The old man is asleep

As the credits start to roll

And I want to know

The same thing

Everyone wants to know

How it going to end?

Tom Waits
