I want to live inside his paintings ♥ Lawrence Alma-Tadema (Dutch, 1836-1912)

This church looks short and squat from the outside and sits uncomfortably in it's little square, bulging, an ugly duckling! The exterior fails to suggest any majesty compared to Vienna's other large palaces of worship such as Stephandom & Karlskirche, but then you go inside! The baroque interior is so busy and heavy with detail that it is impossible to take in what you are seeing. You need to take a picture so that you can study it later and decipher the church's mysteries... or alternatively sit through a very long service!

Comme les éditions précédentes, le Monumenta 2011 - au grand Palais de Paris - a tenu toutes ses promesses. Si on aime le monumentalisme dans l'art, alors on ne peut qu'être en extase devant le Leviathan d'Anish Kapoor. L'artiste Britannique d'origine Indienne a conçu un énorme ventre rouge qui fait de la gigantesque verrière du Grand Palais un écrin presque trop petit pour les trois sphères de plastique thermo-soudé rouge sang qui la remplissent. De l'extérieur, on se croirait dans un hangar à dirigeable mais qui aurait été construit autour du ballon de sorte que celui-ci ne puisse s'en échapper. La couleur rouge-grenat fait penser au sang coagulé de toutes les victimes avalées par le monstre. Car c'est bien d'un monstre qu'il s'agit. Anish Kapoor l'a nommé Leviathan en référence au monstre gueule ouverte symbolisant dans certaines cultures l'entrée des Enfers. À l'intérieur, il fait chaud, la pression qui bouche les oreilles donne l'impression d'être en altitude et le rouge qui donne sa transparence à la sculpture peut faire penser au ventre originel de toute humanité. La verrière qui s'y projète en ombre chinoise prend des formes accentuant ses courbes harmonieuses et le public baigné dans cette lumière n'est plus lui aussi qu'ombres fantomatiques. Bref, comme le dit l'artiste : "L'expérimentation d'un monochrome qui englobe tout, dans lequel on est plongé comme en immersion fait comme si elle trempait le spectateur jusqu'aux os." À voir jusqu'au 23 juin 2011. Le site de l'évènement : www.monumenta.com/
