The ‘Aire de Lyon’ exposition in P.R.O.A. as a retake of the 11th bienale of Lyon, although somewhat smaller (only 35 of the 78 artists show their work here).

Continue reading →: What is Eurovision?
Checking my Twitter account yesterday I realised I had missed it, the Eurovision Song contest. I received numerous tweets from different papers and tv stations, the most interesting was probably the one on CNNI : “What is Eurovision?”. This struck me as a surprise, as it seems unreal to me…

From far he looked exactly like him, but from close (and on this picture) you can clearly see he does not look like him at all. I suppose there can only be one real Jack Sparrow! This one misses the naughty, funny, cute look in his eyes, that makes him…

The Palo Borracho’s (drunken sticks) are all blooming now. This Ceiba Speciosa is a tropical tree native to South America and often seen in the streets of Buenos Aires. Just like the Jacarandas announce the beginning of spring, the Silk Floss tree, as it is also called, announces autumn. It…
