Cineplexx's album cover designs on a huge art show.

Happy news for a sunny morning :)
The album designs I made for my beloved Cineplexx are part of a huge retrospective show about Latin American record cover designs!
CasaAmerica-cineplexx
You can attend to the exhibition until October 25th on Casa América (Madrid). More than 450 record covers will take you through a visual selection of Ibero-American music history.

And below I paste three of my favourite cover designs of Latin American music records...

My drawings on a group show this friday...

Months ago, Las Coleccionistas invited me to participate in a group show they are curating. Well, summer has passed so quickly that the vernissage is this friday!
I’m showing 6 drawings that you saw on this very blog time ago, some Gradient Fishes, Faux Mineralis and a Meteorito. They’ll be for sale there and soon there will be more drawings and prints available on a new e-shop I’m working at the moment.
A lot of changes are coming this autumn, I’ll keep you posted. ;)

Must confess I’m particularly excited to share show with Nigel Peake. I love his work!

I’d love to meet you at 7PM this friday at La Sastreria (Bonavista 25) and toast together to new beginnings.
Joyeux rentrée*
^_^

Hace unos meses Las Coleccionistas me escribieron para invitarme a participar en una exposición colectiva que ellas estaban comisariando. Como (casi) siempre, el tiempo ha pasado volando y ya estamos en septiembre! Pasado mañana tenemos la inauguración :)

Participo con seis dibujos que ya habeis visto en este blog con anterioridad, algunos de mis Faux Mineralis, unos Gradient Fishes y un Meteorito -en la imagen de abajo-, todo muy colorido y a precios muy asequibles para ser piezas únicas.
Pronto habrá más obra mia en venta a través de una tiendita online que estoy terminando... muchos cambios se avecinan para este otoño. Ya os iré contando más ;)

He de añadir que estoy especialmente emocionada de compartir expo con Nigel Peake, me encanta su trabajo!

Me encantaría veros este viernes a las 7 de la tarde en La Sastrería (Bonavista 25) y así poder brindar por los nuevos comienzos.
Feliz rentrée*

Healing drawings by Emma Kunz

Since I first saw an Emma Kunz drawing I became instantly captivated. They are soooo my type. Gradients of colours and lines creating spirograph-like shapes, all of them dancing on top of “vintage” grid paper... Gorgeous.
But Kunz’s art went beyond all this. She was a healer, and these new-wave-geometric-mandalas were one of her tools to help people.
There is a monograph book about her in which I’ll invest sooner or later. You can buy it here.

Miranda July's short stories

I'm enjoying so much this book by Miranda July that I wanted to share it with you.

Her short stories have the kind of strange and abstract sense of humour that I like most. Last night was really late when I was reading in bed and I couldn't control myself from laughing out loud with the first part of "Ten True Things".
Hope Ms. July doesn’t get upset as I'll reproduce below the first half page of this story...

~TEN TRUE THINGS~

Some of those women are really good sewers and you wonder, Why are the taking a beginning sewing class? I like to think it's because they have low self-esteem. They seem totally in control and born to make the rest of us feel clumsy, but inside, they have an almost psychotically warped vision of themselves. At least I am in touch with my skill level. I am a really bad sewer. Interestingly, though, I am not the worst in the class; the tiny Asian woman next to me is. I was sure she would be a really good sewer because most of the clothes in the world are made by Asian women, and also, who's going to be better at making a kimono, me or someone who is Chines or Japanese. Boy, did she teach me a thing or two about racial prejudice. Is she even trying to make a kimono-style robe, or does she think we are making dog beds? I used to get incredibly distracted by her; I was just so amazed at her interpretation of the directions. Like the teacher would say, Trim the excess cloth, and the woman would carefully fold here pink flannel in half, pin it, and then sit back, waiting for the next instruction. What happens when you do the exact opposite of everything you are told of? How would she know when she was done? And shy wasn't anyone doing anything about this? Should I do something? What should I do? But then one day the teacher came around and told me to rip out my last five seams and I wanted to yell, My Seams? At least my seams are for bipeds, what about her last five seams? ...

Kyle draws... and very well indeed.

Kyle Field draws and makes music.
Little Wings' "Soft Pow'r" is among my favourite records all time. Beautifully lo-fi. Soulful songs with indie spirit, great at nights.
K Records (the label from other of my favourite persons in the music world -Calvin Johnson-) releases his albums.
Before Little Wings he had a band together with M.Ward called Rodriguez.

Here some of his drawings and videos...

Last week attended to Caixaforum to see their new art exhibitions and one of them was a retrospective show on Lord Richard Rogers and associates architecture.
My boyfriend and I were delighted with the models and the early work pictures, but the thing we liked most is their manifesto and urban statement. AMEN.

Radio tower+temporary city lights

Yesterday attended to the Cildo Meireles exhibition at MACBA and got crazy about Babel (the radio tower you can see below), in the whole exhibition space the only lights were the ones from the transistor radios and the sound was a crazy mix of all the cassettes, radio stations and so on...
BCNsunday-CildoMeireles_Babel

After MACBA went to another museum, but in the middle of the walk I got surprised again by these temporary city lights The Barcelona Council has installed in Ronda Sant Antoni. They are so strange that I can’t even describe them... all kind of materials mixed (concrete, wood, plastic, metal...), they are so not-designed that seem really modern indeed!
