It was a happy coincidence that his important birthday coincided with the opening on May 1 of the new Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg which was marked with a thrilling gala which was as much celebration as performance. In fact, the party went on for three days with Mariinsky Director Gergiev, who, with his designer-stubble looks as if he has been up all night anyway, at the centre of a whirl of activity.
Talking, making music, talking, making music. He met the press, conducted the gala, joined a post-opening party that went on until dawn. More applause; more happy birthdays. London is on the rise. Almost buildings of 20 or more stories are being built or planned for the city and its suburbs. Recently, a fresh tranche of planned developments were announced for Canary Wharf and in to the east, including a several skyscrapers - one 58 stories.

Here the director Milan's Pinoteca de Brera says who he thinks about the demorialising effect of the blockbuster. And has one or two other opinions to share as well. Frustratingly the FT keeps its works to itself very sensible of them so the story appear in the blog. Most years Brazilian gallerist Juliana Cintra would have promoted her artists and their work at the key international art fairs such as Frieze New York and Arco Madrid. We have a political crisis, the president may well be impeached, the economy is weak and the dollar is too strong.
Then there is the situation in Paris and Brussels with terrorism and the confusion in Europe. Add to this the rising cost of the Olympic Games opening in Rio this August - now at Art is something that people buy when they are happy. Read more in the FT. Terrific show at the Estorick in north London about the drink that had an art movement doing its marketing. This appeared in the brilliant New European which relies more on the physical world ie news print than than the digital. All the better for it. We intend to destroy museums, libraries, academies Whether he toasted his manifesto with a Campari and soda history does not say, but it would have been entirely fitting because many of his followers found time amidst all the feverish struggle to design posters advertising that most Italian of drinks.
Music rings out again in New Orleans
There was a logic to it. The Futurists embraced all that was industrial and dynamic but, above all, new and innovative and were attracted to advertising as something modern, something that took bourgeois art off the walls and into the streets. Perhaps it was inevitable. Many might match it for iconic status - the Michelin man, a bottle of Tabasco, Rolls Royce or Coca Cola - but only Campari is associated with an art movement. It has no title, just the name: No need to say any more. The pouring of the Cordial, a sweet version of the drink designed to appeal to the ladies, is almost hidden behind elegant frocks but the message is clear; this drink is for the refined, for those with good taste.
Post World War One the posters become more overtly advertorial, particularly those by Macello Nizzoli, artist, architect, chief designer for Olivetti typewriters and a designer of handbags. The ruby red of the Campari bottle, the blue of the soda syphon, the fizz of the soda, his series of posters are distinctly Cubist, simple, direct, but entirely evocative of a sophisticated night out in Milan in s. His thesis rather faltered when he was photographed tucking into a huge bowl of spaghetti. It becomes more fun in the s.
Leonetto Cappiello depicted a cheery girl hanging from a lamp post. Throughout the s he produced a vast quantity of posters and newspaper advertisements including a series of highly stylised, graphical images, bold, witty and geometric, which were nonetheless quirky and surreal. Perhaps nothing epitomised that exhilaration more than the drawings he made which were used to inspire the classic conical Campari Soda bottle which was launched in with its ready to drink mix - just add ice and a slice of orange.
After World War Two, perhaps lifted by post conflict optimism, there was something of a return to the glamour and sophistication that characterised the posters of the s. Many by Franz Marangolo epitomised the spirit of the Swinging Sixties with pastel shades, full of zest and humour. The women - always women - look like a Sophia Loren or an Audrey Hepburn.
His posters of the little bottle portrayed as a long legged model with a coquettish wink, looked at objectively are rather strange - a conical container as a mannequin?
The image with its slogan: Nothing bettered those billboards. In a nod to more recent times the exhibition has one poster from by Ugo Nespolo, made to celebrate Italy hosting the World Cup. While his predecessors understood that less is more this is a confused jumble of conflicting images made from a jig saw of lacquered wood. Inevitably, perhaps, the posters were replaced by TV commercials. He leers, she pouts. Perfection at last, the commercial seems to say. But the imagery is confusing and a bit creepy. Above all it misses the simple message of Campari campaigns over the years which is all about fun, sophistication, verve.
More than 52 feet of dark, claustrophobic, passageway, eight feet high, filled with the infernal racket of whizzing shells, the rat-a-tat of machine guns, the roar of planes. Shamsia Hassani patrols the dusty, often dangerous streets of Kabul, with a weapon in her hand.

She is a graffiti artist, possibly the first in Afghanistan, and her work - spectral women in blue burqas outlined on war-damaged buildings, the dirty, dusty walls and corners of the city - invokes praise and hostility - but mostly hostility. It is graffiti but only in my mind. It is not real. Read more about Shamsia Hassan. A woman stares enigmatically at the camera, She wears a tight green jumper and jeans. In her left hand she holds an arm, covered in freckles and wearing a wrist watch.
It is stretched across her body. It is her prosthetic arm. This is one of the unnerving images that make up one of the most compelling exhibitions held in the UK in the year of the th anniversary of the World War One - The Sensory War, at Manchester Art Gallery. It examines the art of war from the outbreak of hostilities in the summer of to Afghanistan by demonstrating the relationship between the senses reacting to the violence of conflict to the work of the artists.

How does New Zealand always win the rugby with when the country has barely enough people to make up a team? For Croatia it is because it has a very, very, intense tradition to preserve and clearly it impacts positively on the culture and society in terms of national pride, shape and cohesion. The hand to eye and physical coordination, is that genuinely something we should worry about losing? It is to Greenhalgh. Some are thinking, some not. The debate was polarised in the 19th century with the setting up of the Special Committee of the Government School of Design to define the arts.
Some, it was decided, originated wholly in the mind - predominantly, painting, bronze and stone sculpture - while others came about through technical, mechanical ingenuity and were to do with skills. It is absurd to attribute categories of significance in an entirely arbitrary way to different medium. It certainly exists in European Gothic architecture and the even in Modernism. Charles Rennie Mackintosh and many of the greatest artists have not just dallied but been intensely involved with stained glass.
It helped them advance their radical views of the world - Mondrian, de Kooning, Max Ernst, Le Corbusier, Matisse - stained glass has been some of their greatest works. He argues that painting, architecture, glass, all the arts, should be considered as a whole. To put it clumsily, the space is the work. His early enthusiasm for architecture has been enhanced by years working with the likes of the late Zaha Hadid and Norman Foster, who designed the Centre.
Clarke has worked with the architect on major projects, such as the wall of glass, 81 metres wide by 24 metres high depicting desert scenes, for his Al Faisaliah skyscraper in Riyadh and the apex of the Pyramid of Peace in Kazakhstan.
Wide Awake
He has brought art and architecture together in shopping malls and airports, churches, mosques and synagogues. Born in Oldham, Lancashire, in his interest was piqued when he saw a stained glass window being installed in a local church and further inspired by a visit to York Minster with its monumental array of Mediaeval stained glass. He studied at Oldham School of Arts and Crafts and now, 50 or so years on, finds improved technology has made the medium flexible enough for him to express any idea that interests him. The result is a range of styles and improbable themes which challenge the preconceptions of anyone who supposed modern glass work to be anything other than a pretty decoration.
Instead skulls are are picked out in scribbles of molten lead in a sort of macabre graffiti on sheets of forbidding matt black lead.

When he does introduce a splash of glass it serves to accentuate the darkness. Such diversity makes him hard to categorise, which is exactly what he and the gallery intended. Lit up by the sun shining through the window which is the width and height of the entire building, the colours dance off a striding Giacometti or a sculpture of the Papuan hornbill and mingle with pieces from Mesopotamia, sculptures by Henry Moore and a Cycladic vase from 2, BC.
Nonetheless, as Greenhalgh laments: These are works that simultaneously well out of a grand tradition and stridently move into the contemporary world. They stretch our understanding of what it is art can do. Like Croatia they prove the importance of valuing skills. That was , and Mr. Like many other artists of my generation, it accompanied me throughout my entire career.
It held very important shows to promote young artists, and without the museum it would have taken me much longer to be where I am right now. In addition, there are plans for a culture center to house the city orchestra and ballet company. To find out more, go to Wall Street Journal. Their gravy-drenched prodigality belies their origins as hand outs to starving workers during a street car strike in the Twenties. Buy one and feed the whole family. Maybe a bowl of gumbo, a broth of seafood or meat seasoned in file acute or how about a mound of debris, the shavings from the roast joint left floating in the gravy?

How are they on Louisiana cuisine at the Palace? It is hard to find a food more likely to disappoint Her Majesty than the tasteless sludge of ground corn. Even with the reviving tincture of Tabasco, this is alien culinary territory - almost as alien as the bayous of Louisiana, where skeletal trees are laden with eerie curtains of Spanish Moss, where egrets stalk and alligators nose through the green algae. But deep in the bayous of this, the least American of states, is the headquarters of this, the most American of brands.
The story goes that he was given a handful of seeds by a Confederate soldier who had fled to Mexico after the war. McIlhenny planted them and was delighted when half a dozen bushes sprang up. He experimented with mashing the peppers, adding vinegar and salt, to make a sauce which he bottled in old cologne bottles. He was better placed than most culinary adventurers.
Avery Island is, in fact, the dome of one of the biggest salt mines in America. The following year he produced bottles. By production reached 41, bottles.
