Пандемия дала Национальной галерее США возможность провести расследование. На пресс-конференции Национальная галерея США поделилась выводом о том, что междисциплинарная группа кураторов, реставраторов и ученых определила, что картина была создана «подмастерьем Вермеера, а не самим голландским художником».

We are in the midst of a sudden “bifurcation” in the evolutionary trajectory of a complex dynamic system. Bifurcation creates crisis, and crisis, as we know, is both danger and opportunity. Either way, it is a prelude to change. The challenge is to choose the change that leads to a sane and flourishing world. This is a real but non-recurring opportunity. Failing to seize it means returning to where we have been: facing the prospect of our collective demise.

Благодаря искусству каждый может рассказать свою историю. Остается только выбрать инструмент или несколько. Истории людей или свою личную можно рассказать при помощи фотографии. Маргарита Ланцман решила совместить подходы и сделала проект «В стране кудрявых людей», исследуя свою историю через людей, которых она встретила в Израиле. Работы Маргариты — это психологические портреты людей, которых объединяют кудрявые волосы. За каждым человеком стоит своя история жизни с причудливыми завитками.

At the dawn of the third decade of the 21st century, the existence of humankind has become highly perilous. We are cutting down our forests, exhausting our fresh water aquifers, and losing our vital top soils. We are stripping the life from our oceans and replacing it with hundreds of millions of tons of plastic waste. We are flooding our environment with toxic industrial chemicals.

«Увидеть свои руки» стала дебютным выставочным проектом ДК Арт — новой площадки Дворца Культуры имени Кирова на Васильевском острове в Петербурге. В двух залах конструктивистского здания с огромными окнами, неоклассическими колоннами и пилястрами в интерьере и советским паркетом «елочка» разместились — довольно гармонично — более 40 работ Маши Неверовой [1].

T. Dunaeva, 2021 | “Opposites attract” Can we do anything without writing in our daily life? Words, letters, inscriptions… all this surrounds us everywhere, touches us, affects us in the most direct way. But what is it for us? Just a communication tool? Or something bigger? Today I would like to tell you about a person for whom the “Letter” is more than a stingy translator of information. This is Art, an opportunity to realize her feelings, emotions, knowledge and skills!

We are all members of humanity, and we all belong to the global biosphere. We are members of oikos, the house of earth, which is the Greek root of the word ‘ecology’, and as such we should behave as the other members of the house behave — the plants, animals and microorganisms that form the vast network of relationships that we call the web of life. The outstanding characteristic of the biosphere is her inherent ability to sustain life.

I am part of nature, and nature is part of me. I am what I am in my communication and communion with all living things. I am an irreducible and coherent whole with the web of life on the planet. Nature, the human community and the universe is connected with the Cosmos. We recognize the deep truth that I am the other. This expresses the concept from contemporary physics of “entanglement”, which is a quantum phenomenon.

We live in a time of cosmic bifurcation, we live in a time of unprecedented existential threats to life on Earth, including climate change, deforestation, food insecurity, and wildlife numbers in free fall, human overpopulation. the society is in turmoil. There is more and more violence. There’s more and more conflict. We are acting as if we are unconnected to our own nature, to our environment, our own world and we produce high entropy and non-coherence.

Embracing our oneness with nature be key to our survival. The unity is the invisible Intelligence and is embedded in the rhythms and relationships that observed in nature, We are the work of this cosmic intelligence. What is good for the whole system? On Earth, to the web of life on the planet, what is good for the whole system is good for us all. However, what may be good for a few of us in the short term is not necessarily good for the whole system.
