Why Gaga Became Gaga

Lady GaGa Reveals Her Musical Inspiration

To this day Lady GaGa said that her ex-lover was the main one who has helped her with the inspiration on most of her music and she gives full credit to him with inspiring her in almost all of her songs. Lady Gaga is known for many hits but the one that almost everyone remembers is “Poker Face” and her most recent hit includes “Telephone”.

Lady GaGa is convinced that the reason why she's able to write like she does is that it's because of her ex boyfriend Luke who was a heavy metal drummer. She said that after the break up she made a vow that she would never love anyone else again. She goes on further to say that she knows she wouldn't be successful without him. She really loved him and hasn't loved anyone like that since nor before him.

Lady GaGa goes on with saying that if she knew everything there was to know about love she feels that she wouldn’t be good at making music and that things happen for a reason. This break up was hard on her but has helped her in a lot of ways such as with music.

THE NUDES OF JEAN CLEMMER

When Parisian photographer Jean Clemmer died in 2001, he left behind a legacy steeped in sexual intrigue and artistic innovation. Clemmer was Salvador Dali’s personal photographer and Jean Cocteau’s friend and muse. He consorted with the elite of the post-war French intellectual circuit and counted among his closest friends the most incendiary figures of the 1950-60s French avant-garde. He was a painter, a violinist, a surrealist, and, most notably, a photographer of rich and erotically charged nudes that were banned in parts of France even as the country was in the throws of a sexual revolution.

Quando o fotógrafo parisiense Jean Clemmer morreu em 2001, deixou atrás de si um legado marcado pela intriga sexual e inovação artística. Clemmer foi o fotógrafo pessoal de Salvador Dali e amigo e musa de Jean Cocteau. Ele conviveu com a elite intelectual francesa do pós-guerra e contou entre os seus amigos íntimos a mais incendiárias figuras da cena avant-garde francesa dos anos 50 e 60. Ele foi pintor, violinista, surrealista, e um fotógrafo de renome de eróticos retratos de nu que foram banidos de França ainda que o país estivesse sob uma revolução sexual.

Until now, precious little of Clemmer’s photographic oeuvre has been made public; most of his prints have languished outside of Paris under the care of his niece, sculptor Hélène Clemmer Heidsieck. Copies of his 1969 book Nues, which documents his collaboration with fashion designer Paco Rabanne, are cult collector’s items. From today, Flash Projects in London will make Clemmer’s nudes, as well as the Clemmer-Rabanne collaboration, available to the public for the first time since its censure in 1969.


Até agora, poucas das preciosas peças fotográficas da obra de Clemmer foram tornadas públicas; A maior parte dos seus mais lânguidos quadros estiveram fora de Paris sob o cuidado de sua sobrinha, a escultora Hélène Clemmer Heidsieck. Cópias do seu livro de 1969 “Nues” que documentaram a sua colaboração com o designer de moda Paco Rabanne são autênticos ícones de culto para coleccionadores. Agora, em Londres, pela primeira vez acessível ao público desde a censura de 1969, os polémicos nus de Clemmer são expostos, incluindo os registos da sua colaboração com Paco Rabanne. Uma exposição a não perder para quem vai a Londres este Natal.

Canned Candies: The Nudes of Jean Clemmer is on view at Flash Projects, 8 Kingly Street, London, from 26 November through 18 December

Francesca Woodman: When Soul Makes the Body a Tragic and Absurd Scenery

If Francesca Woodman had been a poet, she would have been Sylvia Plath!
Se Francesca Woodman tivesse sido uma poetisa, ela teria sido Sylvia Plath!

The Victoria Miro Gallery is showing a largest Francesca Woodman exhibition. Francesca’s work has struck a definite chord with a generation of art lovers, collectors and gallery-goers during the three decades that have followed her death in 1981, and has appeared in collections in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum and MoMA in New York and the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain in Paris, amongst other institutions. The exhibition shows her nakedness, a series of black and white curves and soft focus shadows. Francesca Woodman’s imaginary was taken me to the Kafka’s universe, mainly the Prague writer’s most famous tale, The Metamorphosis. They are pictures that could be described as surrealist, but that have a dark, beating heart that make them a more universal prospect, making her work comparable to that of David Lynch’s gothic aesthetic.  

Está patente na galeria Victoria Miro uma grande exposição de Francesca Woodman, uma das minhas fotógrafas favoritas no dominio da fine art. A fotógrafa americana tem uma legião de fans em todo o mundo com toda uma geração de amantes da arte e da fotografia, coleccionadores e curadores de galerias a admirarem o seu trabalho que realizou até à sua morte precoce aos 22 anos, tendo-se suicidado em 1981. As suas fotografias aparecem em colecções dos mais prestigiados museus e galerias como o Metropolitan Museum of Art, o Whitney Museum, o MoMA em Nova Iorque York e a Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain em Paris. A exposição mostra uma série de fotografias a preto e branco mostram jovens mulheres nuas, desfocadas (devido ao movimento e longos tempos de exposição), fundindo com os seus arredores, ou com os seus rostos velados. O imaginário de Francesca Woodman remetem-me ao universo kafkiano, principalmente à sua novela mais famosa "A Metamorfose" e mais recentemente à estética gótica de David Lynch, nos seus trabalhos mais surrealistas, mas, com um lado negro muito acentuado.

Francesca Woodman runs at the Victoria Miro Gallery until 22 January 2011.

VALENTINO FOR GAP - RUFFLES AND SPORTSWEAR

 

Gap and the House of Valentino have collaborated to create a one-off seven piece capsule collection of classic American sportswear reinvented by Valentino's unique vision of modern unconventional femininity. 

I loved the re-interpretation of the classic parka and the cargo pants of the last picture; This pieces show us how to well use the ruffles and more important that sportswear isn't the opposite of feminine style.  

A icónica marca americana de sportswear e a Casa Valentino colaboraram na criação de uma colecção capsula de 7 peças, em que a visão única de Valentino reinventa o estilo desportivo da GAP.

Adorei a re-interpretação da clássica parka e das calças cargo da última imagem; Estas peças mostram-nos como usar babados de uma maneira cool, e sobretudo esta colaboração mostra-nos que a roupa de estilo desportivo pode ser muito feminina.
