Questo è un post importante.
It could be my last article on Prague Patchwork Meeting. Please note, It is not to be disappointed by the show, tutt’altro. The works were appreciated, arranged with taste and criterion, varied in style and perfectly enjoyable, in short, all good as ever. But it is precisely that "as always" put me in crisis. Even before I left I was afraid of being in front of the usual script, fine as long as you want, but too often replicated. So here is the usual route, with the usual sidewalk and the usual two manholes without lids that if we end up with your foot inside you make off the ankle (to be optimistic). Here are the usualsteep metal staircasestyle "The Hill", climbing which sooner or later some will feel bad. Here in the hall the usual themed exhibition arranged on the usual stands of 2011. That's the usual flawless available, but canonical, the works, so everything looks but nothing emerges. That's the usual textile creations, certain admirable workmanship and composition, however pleasant, But never imprudent or impudent. Here again, for good measure, the usual (and unexplained) absence of signs in Prague, affixes, leaflets, or even small signs that mention the Meeting. Ci tengo a precisare che and John Štěrbová (Deus ex machina della mostra) It goes all my admiration, for its artistic figure in primis, but also to be able to manage for so many years this event patchwork. I remain convinced that the person can hold together and put together a group of quilter It can safely be nominated as President General of the United Nations. Having said that I would have hoped that, in a moment of courage or madness, she decides to get out of the slide rails of the guaranteed success and risked relations and reputation for beating paths still unexplored. Perhaps the fault is mine alone instead. Too many things I've seen, and too high now I place the bar of my consideration. Sono un po’ like the traveler who has traveled half the world and it is difficult to prove even wonder, So here I confess my guilt, that of being become insatiable and sofistica, in una parola: flawed. That said, now you tell you something of the exhibition, a show that still should go to see, at least once. Maybe I advise you to go there with more amenities than I did, because I do not know if all the aficionade del patchwork They are able to hold twelve hours to go and come back twelve hours of night bus; maybe I would be able to suggest the most comfortable transfers.
Dal 5 al 7 April is the Prague Patchwork Meeting, Hotel Step Prague, ma non solo. In the center (finalmente!) It will also be held on Festival textilu a quiltu, and more precisely in via Koněvova 929/19, in the neighborhood of Žižkov.
I'll be there again this year, this time hoping to see the new exhibition, just a few gust of fresh air that tempt me well for the next editions. Vi farò sapere…
P.S. If they serve suggestions, addresses, opinions, ideas about Prague and Bohemia, you have only to ask. Ahoj
This article is also a warning about how easy and hard to come around with us. Easy, because there are no pre-compiled programs, imposed mandatory targets and route plans march. Difficult, because you go a little’ adventure, adapting to what is due and always sympathetic to the unexpected or the unusual. Easy, because there is nothing to do but get carried away, by a bus, a train, a current, emotion, illusion. Difficult, because it does it with the slow pace dictated by logistical contingencies and our phlegmatic temperament. Wanting to put us over charging eleven you let me remember how much our "travel" style may seem, a ragione, injudicious.Continua a leggere →
Eccomi qua. In ritardo come al solito.
So già cosa vi state aspettando, la mia periodica tiritera su quanto siano affascinanti Praga e la Boemia in generale, tanto più in occasione del Prague Patchwork Meeting. Insomma il solito strazio. Errore. Calma, calma, non si pensi che Praga abbia ormai perso la sua capacità di suggestionarmi, o che, dopo ben undici anni, undici presenze, undici viaggi, io non trovi più ragioni per andare a vedere il patchwork boemo. Non sia mai detto.Continua a leggere →
Bene, siamo finalmente arrivati a Mitrovica, oops, lapsus freudiano, intendevo dire a Bassano del Grappa, questa bellissima cittadina attraversata dal Brenta, e ci siamo per la mostra organizzata dall’associazione Bassano Patchwork.
Anni indietro mi capitava di vedere nello stesso giorno la mostra di Treviso e quella di Bassano, una sorta di Quilting Day molto eccitante, ma pure molto faticoso. Dai e dai, mi sono fatta furba (incredibile, ma vero!), e quest’anno ho deciso di prendermela comoda. Dopo la puntata a Treviso ho preso il treno per Bassano, dove mi aspettava una camera per la notte, così da arrivare alla mostra con occhi riposati, pronti ad accogliere le nuove immagini che mi si sarebbero presentate.
Incidentally, potevo scegliere io un banale hotel, un albergo, un Bed&Breakfast, una pensione, uno chalet? Ovviamente no.
Finora avevo considerato U Malého Vítka, a Český Krumlov, il posto più strano e originale dove avessi dormito, invece il Palazzo Zelosi, un edificio seicentesco sorto dalla trasformazione di un antico convento, è ancor più suggestivo.
Pur essendo la struttura adeguata ai nostri tempi, essa riesce a mantenere un’atmosfera monacale, pur senza essere spartana, quasi in ossequio all’augusto passato. Posso dire di essermi trovata benissimo, in una stanza molto silenziosa, senza (aaah, finalmente) televisore, e assistita da personale gentilissimo. Un bijoux.
Abluzione, vestizione, prima colazione, I'm ready, andiamo. Ovviamente piove. Continua a leggere →
