Open Indoor Basketball In Nj

School celebrates five years and is celebrating in style. It was.

BlankPaper is much more than a group of young photographers and a photography school. Blank Paper is a concept, a microworld, a meeting point and 'conspiracy' pursuing a noble goal as complicated: create, enhance and interlink talent.

The celebration their fifth birthday, on Saturday 19 February, was the culmination of this effort. Students, teachers, professionals and shared a curious open day which has been around a bit.

The day started with the viewing of portfolios and presentation of 'Western China', the book of Carlos Spottorno on the westernmost region of China. It is one of the most arid and inhospitable planet, where the Chinese government carried out a ruthless crackdown on the Muslim minority on par with dedicated hard the exploitation of natural resources like oil.

Carlos is a very fine photographer spinning, which has brought the book out thanks to their stubbornness and enthusiasm at a time. It is also a very affordable, featuring his exploits with humility and closeness. And yes, we have dedicated the book to which we order. He looked happy, nobody is bitter sweet.

The afternoon started with the presentation of the models of students and alumni. Many and varied, representing a shows creativity and a good dose of dreams. There was something for everyone: about Shanghai, Footbath, the end of a decade of living with friends, pets and their owners, the remoteness and distance, a vital stage in Argentina or the very teens.

always welcome to talk with the author of a project and ask for everything and more ... the open day meant just that, creating a space for dialogue among students. And he has.


Then the book market Dalpine ( www.dalpine.com ). The library photography more interesting than now exists on the network. With a wonderful selection of independent or self-published books include Joan Fontcuberta, David Jimenez, Yann Gross, Rimaldas Viksraitis, Tomas Manek, Takuma Nakahira, Virxilio Vieira, and Ricardo Cases.

Another important moment of the day was the presentation of 'The Shadow in the grass', by Inigo Aragon, which exposes their creative collages at the headquarters of the school. Inigo became a visual journey through the different stages of collage and explained how they work. Has bought a couple of boxes of family photos, and divided into two: where on the one hand, and the other characters. The characters, or character pieces (hands, legs, heads ...) lie in a box waiting to be relocated to a new creation that emphasizes Inigo, is unique and unrepeatable.

More than a photo-creation has pulled out loud. And is that Inigo has explained that the collage aims to reach the most emotional and irrational the viewer. The exaggeration of the forms, the contextualization of the situations, the fragmentation of the human body ... all that seeks to promote confusion and curiosity, and create a dialogue with the viewer. Inigo, in short, is a crack and who still has not seen his presentation, are invited to spend some of your time. Worthwhile.

There were also 'shindig merendil', of course, the body needs the same or even more than the spirit. Cheese, sausage and wine, like a village fair. And after the tribute to the primary senses (no orgies, no, I'm talking about grub) reached them, the media. These teacher-student-alumni, above have good photos, models, exhibitions, grants and its own discourse, have the 'projection with music. " The language of this new century, some say. It is true that the photos of Fosi Vegue with a background mambo earn even more. And what about the video where we see a guest of the Florida Park dancing and humming to the beat of "Italiano vero". Epic moments for those who appreciate the irony and kitsch sound mass. There

projections good, entertaining, even surprising. If you've seen a demo and then you see a projection, you glimpse the extent that the language of photography can be when delivered to the new technologies. 'Paloma air', the work of Ricardo Cases, has ventured into other territory, that of meta-projection.

Let's translate it to cyber-clumsy (Like me) and lay the 2.0. At the beginning of the projection, the photographers chose music and paired with your choice of photos.

Then came José Bautista, founder of Kansei Sounds and the creator of a concept as novel as powerful. José is defined as visual musician and "a very sensitive person." And so, yes it is. How do you define it? He is a composer, yes sir, a person who dominates both classical music that is able to compose entire symphonies for orchestras. But it is very sensitive to the above is a photographer and also thoroughly knows the great contemporary photographers. And here comes the most curious of the case.

The boy in Alcalá de Henares has a humor about how they contacted Karl de Keyzer (no less!) To make a symphony to your photos. The result is indescribable. The amount of music composed by a higher mind (admittedly!) + Original + surround sound delicious sensitivity = original artwork, which perforate our retinas and our subconscious. Great photographers like Shen Wei, Georgi Pinkhassov or Pep Bonet has been submitted to the genius of the lamp.

In the case of 'Paloma air', intelligence marries humor ( http://goo.gl/Dcz6M ) and that the perfectionists still talk about change it, improve it, metabolize it ...

The BlankPaper Birthday Party School was a success, an ode to the talent and the exchange of talent (Spottorno jumped literally on top of Jose Bautista to end the projection ... and is that talent attracts talent.)
who missed it, take note and not miss the next.
