Souvenirs

10 September 2009 By Vera Ciria 2 In Exhibitions

Hands up whoever has bought a souvenir while on holidays. Maybe an ugly one, maybe a kitschy one, maybe something that you thought looked kinda cool in the shop and then looked awful once you got home. What attracts us to buying mementos of our holidays? Is it to remind us of the good time that we had? To remember a specific place, moment or country? To smile every time that we look at the object because there’s life outside of the usual grind of going to work everyday?

Banksy invades Bristol

09 September 2009 By Vera Ciria 8 In Exhibitions

Street artist Banksy converts breaking the rules into an art form. Last October 2008, the director of Bristol Museum, Kate Brindley, was contacted by Banksy’s agents, with the idea to offer up a “remix” of the museum’s collection by adding up to 100 pieces of original work. Banksy wanted to give something back to the city where he grew up and where his first art stencils appeared.

Are they pulling our leg here? Life in Vienna

07 September 2009 By Vera Ciria 5 In Life outside Barcelona

I was able to get away to Vienna this August for holidays to visit some friends who have a great theatre company since 2007: Not Found Yet Theatre. It’s always great to go to a new city for the first time, the anticipation and excitement of discovering fresh places and sensations. It’s even better if you have friends living at your chosen destination as you get a broader view of the country.
