From the site ZENIT:

"For the first time since 1929, L'Osservatore Romano also will be printed outside the Vatican. This was revealed its director, Giovanni Maria Vian, in an article appeared on the first page of this newspaper Wednesday.

the Church of the Blessed Botta

This is the parish church dedicated to the Blessed Odorico, in my small town.

The site of the Diocese inform: "The project architect Mario Botta Lugano has interpreted the liturgical and pastoral needs today, as the desire of the city, which has recently become the capital of the province, to have structures, including religious, artistic value and architectural "(the ambiguity of that" as "it seems to me revealing).

It is known that the project was originally refused by a diocese Swiss: evidently, in the homeland of the Supreme Architect, had not liturgical and pastoral needs avvedute as ours. Nemo propheta at home, for precisely.

It seems that the parish priest, a task completed, has not fought just to get inginocchiatoi and stations of the Way of the Cross. But "are not provided for in the church of Botta, was the refusal of the Superintendence.

the three days of the Po reporter

I am not a great reader of fiction, let alone of contemporary fiction. Want to need, either out of habit, things I read are mostly classic texts or essays (the last two, just to give an idea of the degree of alienation, are this and this). In short, usually arriving at a maximum of Graham Greene or Flannery O'Connor, and not step beyond. It is my limit? Probably yes, but register with care all the exceptions to the rule: how this novel Valter Binaghi, who accompanies me since yesterday evening and that I find formidable (to cover part…).

live without deceit

A beautiful reflection of Hadrian Dell'Asta on Avvenire Today:

"In the last issue of the magazine" New Europe "(1, 2008), appears an interesting essay by Ljudmila Saraskina, scholar of literature, author of a monumental biography of Solzenicyn of impending exit in Russia. The essay recreates the story of the famous Living without appeal lies, that the Russian writer wanted was made public on February 13, 1974, the day of his arrest and then just before what became his expulsion, but that could also be a conviction harsh prison (if not already condemned to death as someone asked).

The appeal, the fate disinteressandosi staff of the author, his freedom and his own life, was the invocation of a fight without quarter against falsehood, "which is not registered with my help! … This is our way: no support under any circumstances knowingly falsehood. "

As well Saraskina, it was not proclaims a political, philosophical or religious, but appeal to "a thorough review of his life and his own conscience", was an invocation all'inquietudine of conscience. For Solzenicyn Indeed, the fundamental problem of a totalitarian regime like the one Soviet, even before the terror with which he had made millions of victims, was that of lies that had poisoned the soul and risked it disappears as a species Food, a lie onnipervasiva who had led a famous Soviet writer, the Nobel Prize Solochov, to say: "We write as we called the heart, but our heart belongs to the party."

The story of Solzenicyn and his fortune literary show the rest perfectly this centrality of the clash between truth and falsehood. When the magazine published Novyj Mir A day of Ivan Denisovic, the number went immediately steals, people are looking forward to it as a precious object, not understanding almost anything for fear of not being able to find it, as recalled Sergei Averincev, a of the largest Russian intellectuals of the twentieth century: "I'll never forget a man a little 'strampalato, who could not say the name of Novyj Mir and asked the giornalaia:' But yes, but yes, that where there is written the whole truth! '. And she understood that what was talking about his interlocutor. " It was another world that had the Soviet Union broke the post-Stalinism.

And yet another world were the reactions of world literary Journal, which attacked Solzenicyn even before the power to do so, with a verbal violence which authorized then the same power to the campaign which led the expulsion of the author uncomfortable. Solzenicyn was branded as a "class enemy", a "dangerous mental patient", "full of venom and contempt."

They could still continue long unless you were to remember that even in Italy the reactions of this kind were the majority and also characterized writers of value, not acted on fear, subordination policy, interest or whatever else will think of those who Solzenicyn called "a retore declamatore not worthless as a writer," an anonymous writer to which "a provincial correspondent writes better", but also think a substantial part of the world political, not a Communist or in some cases even anticommunist, that looked with annoyance dissent and the writers of dissent because they could disturb the process of what then was called détente.

It was really a clash of two worlds, which were not defined only by a geographical location or un'appartenenza politics and even from legitimate diversity assessment of the value of a work of art, as mentions the Saraskina the end of his article, even today , And even when the artistic value of Solzenicyn is no longer under discussion, the reactions to his work still have the same characteristic of a time: it seems to speak of two worlds and two different realities.

There seems to be so light a fundamental problem of the totalitarian system and deceit that forms the heart, a problem that has already been revealed in Russian literature of this century or even some commentators in the West (as Alain Besancon, for example ), But which has not yet reflected enough: the lie that Solzenicyn called for combat is not the classic one, whose mind knowing that lie.

We have here two words or two interpretations to say a single reality, and we have a word that says two realities: Solzenicyn says freedom of the artist that belongs exclusively to art and its irreducible mystery, Solochov speaks of freedom of the party to whom it belongs to the Schiavo made the heart of the artist. But then when we have different positions, the contrast is no longer between two interpretations, between two words, and the reality that contradicts my word or my judgement should not be reinterpreted, or discussed included, it should be simply deleted.

The terror here (or a certain exercise of power in democratic societies) is the corollary of lies: not mind to hide the terror, but terrifies to maintain the lie. Of course, in democratic societies, this does not become the power system and remains a mentality: a weak nihilism and well educated, but a nihilism unleashed and devoid of good manners will not make any effort to sweep away.

Solzenicyn called precisely to oppose this deceit, falsehood that the interpretation is more important than reality, the more important reality that we can expect to replace it and that we no longer verify whether the match and if not has created instead a new reality that no longer has anything to do with the good: it was said "labour camps correzionale" and, while men were dying there to millions, some, rather than simply as an instrument sopportarli unfair but "necessary" Them esaltavano as the paradise he was created the new socialist man. "

Un Piano per Los Angeles: il Broad contemporary art museum

LA GALLERY

Di Manuela Grassi

La scala mobile sale lentamente lungo la facciata, fino al tetto del Broad contemporary art museum, un nuovo stupefacente spazio dedicato all’arte, creato da Renzo Piano e fortemente voluto da Eli Broad, il “Lorenzo de’ Medici” della California. “L’ascesi prepara alla contemplazione” spiega l’architetto. E non solo. Una volta entrati dal terzo e ultimo piano si può cedere al gioco e scendere “come palline da flipper” per le due scale laterali esterne, segni grafici rosso fuoco disegnati sulle pareti di travertino. Non si può non pensare alla scala mobile del Beaubourg. Certo il panorama è molto diverso, al posto dei tetti di Parigi ci sono i ciuffi ondeggianti di palme altissime, le ville con giardino, i boulevard trafficati della sterminata Los Angeles.
L’edificio è il primo dei quattro previsti nel progetto di ampliamento del Los Angeles County museum of art (Lacma) ed è l’esordio di Piano nella città californiana. L’intera operazione è stata battezzata Transformation: metamorfosi del luogo ma anche idea di un’architettura viva, mobile, sensibile all’aria e alla luce.
“Quando ho visto per la prima volta Hancock park, l’area su cui erano stati costruiti negli anni i vari edifici del Lacma, ho avuto l’impressione di un caos disastroso ma anche di una popolazione felice ea proprio agio in un posto che le appartiene” racconta l’architetto ligure, ormai cittadino del mondo, nell’aereo studio serra del Renzo Piano Building work-shop a Punta Nave, Genova.
Los Angeles è la città dell’arte contemporanea: “Il Paul Getty di Richard Meier è come l’Acropoli, domina dall’alto, il Moca di Irata Isozaki è stretto in mezzo ai grattacieli, il Lacma è il museo della città”. Nel 2001 l’architetto olandese Rem Koolhaus firma un masterplan che prevede di demolire quasi tutti gli edifici. Il progetto da 300 milioni di dollari non supera il referendum indetto dal comune. Entra allora in scena Broad, consigliere fiduciario del museo, collezionista di arte moderna e contemporanea (circa 2 mila opere): coinvolge Piano di cui è grande ammiratore.
“Ho accettato a patto di poter ragionare sull’insieme” ricorda l’architetto. Broad conserva una lettera di Piano: “Caro Eli, come ti ho già detto, è molto frustrante eseguire un buon brano con un quartetto ad archi nel mezzo di tre brutti concerti rock”. Il colpo di grazia per Broad arriva con la metafora delle tre bambole russe. “Renzo mi disse: “Questa bambola molto piccola è il Bcam ( Broad contemporary art museum, ndr ), quest’altra è il resto del Lacma, e la più grande è il posto intero, compreso Hancock park, fino al Page museum ( scienze naturali, ndr )””.

È finita che Broad ha sborsato 50 milioni di dollari per la costruzione del Bcam, più 10 per l’acquisizione di nuove opere, il resto è stato coperto da altri sponsor e dal comune (finora 200 milioni di dollari).
L’arte di Piano si fonda sulla conoscenza dei luoghi: “Conoscere significa entrare nei ritmi climatici, temere il caldo soffocante della piana di Los Angeles, apprezzare l’Indian summer di San Francisco, capire che anche una città diffusa su un territorio vasto, dove tutti vivono in automobile, ha i suoi riti, la sua anima”.
Il progetto è già nel genius loci: “Bisogna solo prestargli attenzione”. Il posto dove sorge il Lacma ha la vocazione del parco: “Può diventare un piccolo Golden Gate park, come quello di San Francisco, o un piccolo Central park come quello di New York”.
Su quest’idea ha lavorato. Tolto il parcheggio all’aperto, che è stato interrato e verrà coperto dal verde, Piano non ha esitato a eliminare la strada che tagliava il parco in due, Ogden street (vincendo le resistenze del comune). È stata creata una “spina” pedonale che collega i diversi edifici, creando una vera e propria cittadella.
“Una misura che corrisponde all’incirca a quella di San Gimignano” spiega l’architetto. “Ed è questa l’immagine che ho usato, perché con gli angelenos, abituati a percorrere lunghe distanze in automobile, si fa fatica a capirsi sulla “scala pedonale””.
Dal Lacma west, una costruzione storica degli anni 30 che ospitava un grande magazzino e ora sarà la sede delle attività culturali, si arriva al Bcam e da lì, attraverso una piazza coperta che è il nuovo ingresso del Lacma, ai vecchi edifici che ospitano le collezioni storiche del museo, più di 100 mila pezzi.
Los Angeles è l’Oriente: “La differenza culturale tra East coast e West coast è la stessa che c’è tra Occidente e Oriente. La California condivide la cultura del Pacific rim, delle terre sismiche bagnate dall’Oceano Pacifico: Giappone, Australia, Nuova Caledonia. Tutti paesi segnati dall’effimero, dove le cose sopravvivono grazie alla loro leggerezza. Non è un canone estetico, ma il sublimarsi attraverso i secoli di una necessità”.
Piano ha progettato l’aeroporto giapponese di Kansai, uscito indenne dal terremoto di Kobe del 1992, l’Opera House e Aurora Place di Sydney e il Centro culturale Jean-Marie Tjibaou a Nouméa, in Nuova Caledonia, usando il bambù insieme a tecnologie sofisticatissime, un capolavoro insuperato di relazione poetica tra l’edificio e l’ambiente.
L’architettura occidentale al contrario ha sempre privilegiato la pietra, fino agli esiti estremi: per gli architetti di Adolf Hitler che progettavano edifici monumentali ampi 17 volte la cattedrale di San Pietro il materiale di costruzione doveva sfidare il tempo e la storia. “Ma la pietra non è eterna, può andare in pezzi, eterno è al contrario il gesto che si ripete immutabile, come quello che permette agli artigiani giapponesi di ricostruire i loro templi ogni vent’anni” chiosa l’architetto.
Naturalmente Eli Broad pensava al marmo e alla pietra per il suo museo, che doveva avere le stigmate del monumento (le opere d’arte tuttavia restano di proprietà della sua fondazione e vengono “prestate” al Lacma). Dopo qualche discussione è stato scelto travertino di Tivoli, lavorato a Massa Carrara. “Anche per creare una connessione con l’edificio Lacma West, che purtroppo è costruito con una pietra bruttissima”. Ma il travertino è grezzo, cangiante, una pietra viva. Il tetto, di cui Piano è piuttosto orgoglioso, è un capolavoro di tecnologia e trasparenza. “L’idea è di avere tre grandi stanze per lato, ampie e alte come dei loft, senza colonne. Il terzo piano è inondato di luce naturale dall’alto”. Sofisticati schermi solari deviano i raggi del sole, che penetrano nell’edificio sempre da nord.
Michael Govan, il direttore del Lacma, sottolinea la versatilità del museo: “Al primo livello si possono esporre le opere di grandi dimensioni”. E infatti fino a pochi giorni prima dell’inaugurazione, l’8 febbraio, Richard Serra stava installando due sue enormi sculture in acciao tra imprecazioni coloritissime.
All’ultimo piano, con la bella luce naturale, le opere più classiche. Al piano di mezzo, con illuminazione artificiale, video arte e progetti. Il simbolo di questa idea di rotazione è l’ascensore, una vera e propria stanza in movimento: 6 metri per 3, può portare fino a 40 persone o trasportare opere d’arte; insieme alla scala mobile esteriore dipinta di rosso squillante e battezzata “spider”, ragno, sottolinea la natura dinamica dell’edificio.
Il museo è stato concepito anche in stretta collaborazione con un gruppo di artisti. Robert Irwin, che ha disegnato il giardino monumentale del Getty Center a Los Angeles, ha piantato 400 palme “washingtonian” (alte fino a 25 metri) che dondolano al vento, dopo averle cercate una per una. Sulla facciata sud del Bcam freme l’opera di John Baldessarri, enormi teli blu in tessuto da vela, su cui è riprodotta la sua mano che con un cellulare fotografa le palme.
“Si tirano su come si tira su un fiocco” precisa Piano, appassionato velista. Poi, quando Baldessarri dovrà far posto a un altro artista, le tele verranno arrotolate, magari per essere riscoperte tra cent’anni.
Chris Burden ha installato 200 lampioni vintage della Los Angeles storica, che ha accuratamente restaurato. Jeff Koons, che espone un’opera nell’Entrance Pavillon, ha disegnato una grande installazione (per ora un progetto) in cui un vagone ferroviario del 1940 sta appeso a testa in giù a un argano gigante. E ogni tanto sbuffa vapore.
L’ adesione di Piano alla cultura californiana, leggera, effimera, attenta alla natura, ha ispirato anche il suo lavoro a San Francisco, dove ha realizzato l’ampliamento della California academy of sciences, l’edificio più ecologico degli Stati Uniti. Il nuovo Planetario, la Rainforest Exhibit e l’ingresso dello Steinhart aquarium sono ricoperti da un tetto dalla superficie ondulata, sul quale sono stati piantati 4 milioni di graminacee: “Un tetto che nasce, muore, rinasce, più effimero di così”.

[businessportal24] Il 14 febbraio, alle ore 19, nella suggestiva Torretta Valadier, (Ponte dei Lucchetti), celebrato nel libro di Federico Moccia, avrà luogo la premiazione delle frasi d’amore più belle e originali da inviare con un SMS, appositamente scelte da una commissione composta da Iva Zanicchi ed esponenti della giunta del XX Municipio di Roma, Massimiliano Fasoli, Presidente, Marco Perina Assessore alla Cultura, Gianni Giacomini Assessore alle Scuole, Umberto Sacerdote Assessore alle Attività Produttive, Marco Clarke Assessore ai Lavori Pubblici) e da personaggi del mondo della cultura e dello spettacolo.

Quest’anno la scelta della madrina è caduta su Loriana Lana.
