Back to Cambridge, MA
A year ago, I came to Cambridge. Only for a week-end. I saw the Strata Center and walk around Boston and a little in the MIT Campus. Well I’m back again.
I thought I might look at Harvard campus this time and try to find some nice art galleries. Part of this process is to continue my personal “art studies” which I felt I set aside since Paris. I’ve been experimenting but it’s good to go back to the basis. I’m not looking for great “masters” of art, but to be touch again and to understand new things.
So I went to the Carpenter Center of art in the Harvard Campus which is the only Le Corbusier building in the US..(!!). Well besides the fact that the concrete of the building made great pictures, I wasn’t very impressed by the design. I found an interesting exhibition of senior thesis students in the lobby though. Some of them are extremely original or complete weirdo. I guess that’s what makes art special. I haven’t note anything special in there.
I then went just beside this building which is the Fog Art Museum. Basically, a Harvard own museum. What I note there :
Y’a quelque hose de personnel dans la peinture. L’artiste mis à nu. Chaque tache de peinture est un geste relié à l’artiste. Quiconque regarde les détails d’une oeuvre peut s’imaginer l’artiste devant sa toile au moment même où il appliquait la couleur. Je me demande comment atteindre ce niveau intime avec l’art numérique?
Autre pensée : Beaucoup d’artistes atteignent leur style vers la trentaine, même si les années avant démontrent un talent, l’apogée c’est reconnaître la personne à travers son art.

Metro in Israel
(photo from Reut C from flickr)I wasn’t looking from more metro design but here is another one that I found pretty original because it’s build over a moutain, it goes up and down…

Metro Art in Stokholm

I found this amazing picture of a Stockholm’s subway station. It looks so much like the sixites style of the ones in Montreal.

UT, t-shirts, interesting web site and future store
UT will open in 4 days on the web and a new store will open in Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan. The website is really simple for the moment, put it works so well, so many images gives you a good idea how much stock they have produced. OK, it’s only t-shirts, but hey, they are creative.
