      Interesting links between Venice and Australia: a Biennial, the love (and the concern) for the sea, the openness to the new, a (sort of) vaporetto, the islands. In this case, Cockatoo Island, an island in the middle of Sydney Harbour, home of the 17th Sydney Biennial...

      [it] Interessanti link tra Venezia e Australia: una Biennale, l'amore (e la preoccupazione) per il mare, l'apertura verso il nuovo, un vaporetto, isole. In questo caso Cockatoo Island, in mezzo alla baia di Sidney, sede della 17th Sidney Biennale...

      Distance allows us to be ourselves, despite the many capacities we share. We are all the same, but different, and it is our differences that make us – according to the circumstances – beautiful, terrifying, attractive, boring, sexy, unsettling, fascinating, challenging, funny, stimulating, horrific, or even many of these all at once. All this is underlaid by our essential similarity to each other, often much greater than many care to acknowledge. More importantly, the idea of distance expresses the condition of art itself, which is to be of life, run parallel to life and sometimes to be about life. But for art to be art, it must maintain a distance from life because without this it has no authority. Art can reflect the sweetest or strongest of emotions and also represent the most threatening or traumatic events but, unlike in life, nobody gets hurt. And we do live at a time when our capacity for the destruction of both ourselves and nature seems to be unsurpassed.

      Jónsi of Sigur Rós has released his solo album, Go. It happens sometimes to find a musician, an album, a song and think: wonderful! And the video is magic, like Iceland. [it] Succede ogni tanto di trovare un musicista, un disco, una canzone e di pensare: stupendo! Era un pezzo che non mi capitava. E il video è magico, come l'Islanda. link: jonsi.com/go video: Jónsi - Go Do Official video to first single from Go. [vimeo http://vimeo.com/9289064]

      Bisogna arrendersi al viaggio

      txt: Scrivere di viaggio significa aprirsi a luoghi e persone - Paolo Rumiz - www.ilgiornaledivicenza.it
      Lei ha detto "bisogna arrendersi al viaggio" che cosa significa? Bisogna rinunciare a modificare il viaggio a tua immagine. Il viaggio deve modificare te. Fatta salva la meta che è irrinunciabile, poi devi poter cambiare itinerario a seconda dei luoghi e delle persone che incontri , solo allora si compie quel deragliamento che rende possibile gli eventi provvidenziali . Se ti lasci portare dal viaggio, allora ti accorgi che non serve cercare da mangiare, da riposare o gli scorci più interessanti . Allora vivi la provvidenza, l'accettazione totale dei cortocircuiti provocati dallo spostamento fisico. E il lasciarsi portare influenza anche la scrittura e il modo di esprimerti.

      Don't wait the volcano: go with the flow

      txt: Stranded by the volcano, a traveler learns to go with the flow - www.washingtonpost.com
      After visiting the Amarone producer, I had another sunny lunch at a restaurant facing Lago di Garda. This is the same region D.H. Lawrence wrote about in his classic 1916 travel book, "Twilight in Italy." Lawrence uses the slow peasant existence around Lago di Garda as a metaphor for all that is good and pure in the world, setting it against what he calls the "purpose stinking in it all, the mechanising, the perfect mechanising of human life." "Yet what should become of the world?" he writes. "The industrial countries spreading like a blackness over all the world, horrible, in the end destructive. And the Garda was so lovely under the sky of sunshine, it was intolerable."

      This video was prepared by the UK branch of Dorling Kindersley Books and produced by Khaki Films. Originally meant solely for a DK sales conference, the video was such a hit internally that it is now being shared externally. We hope you enjoy it (and make sure you watch it up to at least the halfway point, there's a surprise!). Read an interview with the creator of the video on the Penguin Blog: The clip was inspired by a video created by an Argentinian agency, Savaglio/TBWA entitled Truth
