The end of an odyssey

16.10.2009

A limestone bust of Queen Nefertiti has returned to its home in a rebuilt Berlin museum severely damaged during World War II. The bust, which dates back to 1350 BC, was hidden for protection in a Thuringian salt mine at the height of the war. In the following decades Nefertiti went on an odyssey, moving from museum to museum in Berlin until British architect David Chipperfield led the reconstruction of Nefertiti's former and future home at the Neues Museum in Germany's capital.

5. Who Was Robin Hood?

The historical search for the legendary thief Robin Hood has turned up masses of possible names. One candidate includes the Yorkshire fugitive Robert Hod, also known as Hobbehod or Robert Hood of Wakefield. The large number of suspects is complicated further as the name Robin Hood became a common term for an outlaw. As literature began to add new characters to the tale such as Prince John and Richard the Lionheart the trail became more obscure. To this day no one knows who this criminal really was. svasta smo citali a i gledali o njemu

Feniks
Mitski feniks je najpoznatija ptica u Feng Shuiju i često je u paru sa zmajem kao Feng Shui simbol bračne sreće. Kada je sam, feniks ima Yang energiju, a kada je u paru sa zmajem, simbolizira Yin, žensku energiju.

Feniks simbolizira energiju velike snage, otpornosti i transformacije, jer je u stanju da se izdigne iz pepela u visine.

Feng Shui element povezan s feniksom je vatra, a Feng Shui strana je jug. U tradicionalnim/pejzažnim Feng Shui školama, feniks je božanska životinja koja čuva ulaz ili prednji dio kuće, jer su uzorne Feng Shui kuće u Kini bile one koje su bile okrenute prema jugu.

Pijetao
Pijetao se često koristi u Feng Shuiju u svrhu unaprjeđenja karijere, jer se kineska riječ «zvaničnik» koristi i za pijetlovu krijestu. Bez obzira iz koje kulture dolazite, ako posmatrate pijetlove primijetit ćete da oni vole šefovati, zar ne?

Pijetao nas veoma rano budi i objavljuje svitanje novog dana/kraj tame i mračnih sila, tako da pijetao može simbolizirati sposobnost odbrane od zlih duhova.

Svraka
U Feng Shuiju, svraka je povezana s radošću, slavljem i srećom. Također simbolizira težnju ka gnijezdu, tako da je slika svrake tradicionalni Feng Shui lijek koji se preporučuje onima koji se žele skrasiti i «ugnijezditi».

Svrake se povezuju i s brakom, djecom i sretnim domaćinstvima. U antičkoj Kini, dolazak svraka smatran je znakom novih prilika, bez obzira da li se radi o novom poslu ili novoj ljubavi. Simbol svrake se često koristi kao tradicionalno Feng Shui pomagalo za otklanjanje ili ublažavanje prepreka u karijeri ili ljubavnom životu.

Golubice
Mir je univerzalna energija golubica, bez obzira iz koje kulture se dolazi. U Feng Shuiju, golubice se nekad koriste i kao ljubavni lijek za podstrek dugom i mirnom braku. Jedna od kineskih legendi potvrđuje da su golubice bile favorizirane na carevom dvoru zbog smirujućeg efekta njihovog gukanja.

Bez obzira da li se radi o slici ili maloj skulpturi u vašem dnevnom boravku, energija ptca će unijeti lakoću, inspiraciju, i sreću vaš dom.

Mandarinske patke
Ove poznate patke su «ptice ljubavi» u Feng Shuiju, jer su one najpopularniji Feng Shui simbol za ljubav i romantiku.

S obzirom da one imaju jednog partnera cijelog života, mandarinske patke simboliziraju odanost, vjernost i ljubav za cijeli život. Mandarinske patke se uvijek koriste u parovima i smještaju se u spavaću sobu.

Ptice kao Feng Shui simboli



U klasičnim Feng Shui primjenama, ptice simboliziraju inspiraciju i obnovu.U tradicionalnim, ptice se smatraju simbolima novih prilika. Ptice mogu simbolizirati ljubav i odanost (kao u slučaju mandarinskih patki), ili izobilje i sreću (kao u slučaju pauna).

Ptice kao simboli, isto kao i cvijeće, imaju neku unutarnju univerzalnu energiju koju nije potrebno prevoditi.

Ljudi su u pticama uvijek tražili inspiraciju, osjećaj slobode i težnje za ujedinjenjem s božanskim.

Sposobnost letenja visoko u nebo se u Feng Shuiju blisko povezuje s mogućnošću da se bude blizu raja, kao i sposobnošću ptica da služe kao glasnici s neba.

Naravno, svaka ptica ima svoje karateristike. Paun je drugačiji od golubice, na primjer, ili svrake.

Kada birate slike ptica kao Feng Shui simbola, prvenstveno se vodite vlastitim instinktima, ili vašim vlastitim shvatanjem energije ptice koja vas privlači.

Slijede opisi ptica koje se najčešće koriste kao simboli u Feng Shuiju.

Skulpture od ..putera..

Skulpture od putera
September 25, 2008



Inovativni vajar Jim Victor poznat je po svojim skulpturama koje pravi od putera. Njegovi aktovi često su rađeni u prirodnoj veličini, a umetnik naglašava da je za izradu figura od ovakvog materijala neophodna niska temperatura.

Tako u njegovom ateljeu temperatura nikada ne prelazi 13 stepeni, kako se skulpture ne bi istopile.

“Puter je materijal koji je lako oblikovati ali temperatura u radnom prostoru mora biti niska”, rekao je vajar, dodajući da je idealna temperatura 13 stepeni jer se tada puter ponaša kao glina.

Za oblikovanje Victor koristi dleto od drveta koje je sam napravio, a kaže da mu je potrebno desetak dana za izradu jedne skulpture, iako komplikovana dela ponekad zahtevaju i čitav mesec.

Puter nije jedini materijal u kmome Victor vaja, a koristio je i sir, čokoladu, voće i povrće.

Njegova najpoznatija dela su su skulpture konjanika, dece koja se voze školskim autobusom i krava prikazanih kao čirlidersice.

LONDON - Jedan od najmaštovitijih kuvara na svetu vaja umetnička dela od putera, a medju njegovim najpoznatijim skulpturama je model luksuznog automobila rols-rojs. Vipula Atukorale (46) je jedan od najboljih kuvara na svetu, ali je podjednako uspešan i kao skulptor. Svoju umešnost dokazao je najrazličitijim reprodukcijama u puteru, od rols-rojsa do jedne čuvene scene iz romana "Pinokio". Dela koja stvara zahtevaju ogromnu preciznost i sate i sate rada. Samo za realizaciju rols-rojsa bilo mu je potrebno 90 sati rada. On ne radi sa klasičnim puterom već koristi poslastičarski koji se sporije topi. Dok oblikuje skuplture, Atukorale je primoran da zadržava dah i često pere ruke ledenom vodom da bi izbegao njihovo topljenje. Kako prenose britanski mediji, na prošlonedeljnom salonu kulinarstva u Londonu slavnom kuvaru uručene su dve zlatne i jedna srebrna medalja. (Tanjug)

Back in Sanssouci

Workers at the Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam near Berlin prepare two statues that are to return to their original place on the façade of the orangery.

Iconic leap to freedom

12.06.2009

A worker in Berlin sets up a statue depicting an East German guard's leap to freedom in Berlin on Friday. The figure, captured in an iconic photograph, was unveiled as the country celebrates the 20th anniversary of reunification. Made of hard foam painted silver, the statue depicts 19-year-old Conrad Schumann. Schumann was caught on film by photographer Peter Leibling as he sprang over barbed wire into the West in 1961 as the Berlin Wall was being built. He was the first East German soldier to flee, and the photograph of his leap, head bowed and arms spread, became one of the best-known images of the Cold War.
