2012 VENICE BIENNALE: LISBON GROUND

The city of Lisbon is the focus of this exhibition that represented Portugal at the 13th International Architecture Exhibition- La Bienale di Venezia until last November. The city is conceived as a common territory shared by a group of thinkers and artists, and reveals 24 years of intervention. Do not miss the selection of texts by Antonio Tabucchi, or the photographs by Duarte Belo.

THE CRUELLEST MONTH

The cruellest month begins with A, right; but as winter crawls in, nostalgia seems to settle in for the good old days when I wouldn't know certain details about T.S. Eliot. Worth checking out at Letras Libres, Dec. 2011. Great José Emilio Pacheco focuses on treason, while recieved opinion insists that there is not such thing as treason. Hmm...

BLACK MIRROR

I would encourage everyone to watch Black Mirror, Channel 4. It is  a neo-Victorian dystopia in three chapters that will leave you breathless. El primero le hubiera encantado al Welles de Sed de Mal por su arranque. El segundo es berlusconiano. El tercero es casi Paprika de Tsusui + Philip K. Dick. En la línea de Huxley y Orwell. Muy darwincotidiano.
