Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor is an Indian-born British installation artist, a sculptor.
Born in 1954 in Bombay, India, Kapoor was raised with an Indian education.
He gained international acclaim because he represented Britain in 1990 and with exhibits at venues such as the Tate Gallery and Hayward Gallery in London, Kunsthalle Basel, Haus der Kunst Munich, Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin, Reina Sofia in Madrid, MAK Vienna, and the ICA Boston. He represented Britain in the XLIV Venice Biennale in 1990, when he was awarded the Premio Duemila Prize. In 1991 he received the Turner Prize. Notable public sculptures include Cloud Gate, Millennium Park, Chicago, and Sky Mirror at the Rockefeller Center, New York. Anish Kapoor is a Royal Academician and was made a Commander of the British Empire in 2003.

In my opinion Anish Kapoor pieces are frequently simple, with curved forms, usually monochromatic and brightly coloured. I think that his intention is to engage the viewer, producing fear through their size and simple beauty, evoking sometimes mystery through the works dark cavities. Early works have some points of pigment to cover the works and the floor around them and his intention is to catch the attention of the viewer. Colored temples and markets of India inspired him. His later works are made of solid, stone, many of which have carved apertures and cavities, often alluding to dualities (earth-sky, matter-spirit, lightness-darkness, visible-invisible, conscious-unconscious, male-female and body-mind). His most recent works are mirror-like, reflecting or distorting the viewer and surroundings. The use of red wax is also part of his current repertoire, evocative of flesh, blood and transfiguration.

Gilbert Proesch (San Martin de Tor, Italy, 17 September 1943) and George Passmore (Plymouth, United Kingdom, 8 January 1942) are two contemporary artists that work together. I think that they have a special style that causes some polemic in British. Confusing, ironic and explicit with Gilbert and Georg have a large scale of photo works. First they work many times with the style black or with and later they use red and yellow touches. In 2008 Gilbert & George were awarded an Honorary Doctorate by London Metropolitan University.

Damien Steven Hirst (born 7 June 1965)
• English artist;
• Known as Young British Artists;
• Internationally renowned;
• Death is a central theme in Hirst's works.
• We can say that now we have the Hirst style spread by other artists.

MUSEUM GUIDE

I was born in 1988 and I think that was a decade of great innovation.

1. I chose start to show some things that we use to buy in our child wood (lool). I remember now the chewing gum “gorilla” and “petezetas”.

2. Around 1995 I have my first console…it was amazing…the “Sega mega drive”. Now we have things like the new playstation.

3. I have to put in my museum also my collection of “burago cars”.

4. Before the cd´s and mp3 we have the famous walkmans.

5. Now I show here one of the most exciting films that I’ve seen when I was child. The famous “lion king”.

6. One of my favorite cartoons are “Pokémon”. I used to see every day´s.

7. I came from Switzerland when I’ve six years old and I entered for Primary school. There was my primary school.

8. My first mobile phone….it seems like a “brick”.

9. I also have to show the place where we played football…

10. When I’ve completed 8 years old my father gave me my first motorcycle some years later I bought another.

The "Mockers"

The "mockers"...
We have created one subculture....me and my group we have created the "mockers" that are a group of people that like go to parties, have fun but they are not normal,they take every kind of drugs...and i think that there aren´t to much people that have that culture "mocker"....they want to get allucinated,they always dress black clothes...with big boots...they love psytrance,etc...:P

The Ravers

Raver is a word that has been used since the 1960s to describe people who are enthusiastic attendees of parties. For this purpose, the term is most common in the UK.

A "raver" is one who goes to raves. Contrary to popular belief, there are many different types of ravers.

1. Candy Ravers that are the ones you see running around shouting things like "PLUR!" or "Want a hug/sucker/glow stick/massage?" They are identifiable by their brightly colored clothing (phat pants being a must...if they're made of fun fur, all the better), enough Candy (brightly colored bead bracelets) to sink the Titanic, oodles of children's toys, as well as a few glow sticks and pacifiers.
2. "Goth" ravers. They're quite easy to spot because they will be dressed in all black like the goths. The more there are the better. They will not socialize outside of the group they came with, and they will never under any circumstances dance. They're too goth for that - dancing equates to happiness and celebration, and that's just not cool.
3. Hoochies These are those well-dressed, snooty people that really shouldn't even be at a rave. The only reason they're at the party is to pick up on some 15 year old e-tard. Well, maybe not, but they certainly are only at the party to get a piece of ass. They will be dressed in whatever is "trendy" and do not know how to dance.
4. Junglists. Junglists are often viewed as being "agro". They listen primarily to Jungle/RnB music, and are partial to camo, hoodies, and clothing in dark colors. Popular junglist hairstyles are dreads (m+f), short hair (m+f), or short with two long bits in the front (f). Quite a few junglists are ex-candy ravers. They may also be "old-skool" or "jaded.
5. Old-skoolers are ravers who have been in the scene since "way back in the day". No matter how good the party is, the music/DJs/parties/drugs/people/anything else about the scene was WAY better when they first started raving. A jaded raver is not nessicarily old skool, but shares the same views as the old skooler.
