I love art, especially sculpture. I love the great modernist pieces, and also pieces from the sixties and seventies and up until now, like Alexander Calder, Antony Caro, Donald Judd and Anish Kapoor. To name a few... A couple of years ago, when I visited Chicago, I went to see the Alexander Calder Flamingo sculpture (1973) on Federal plaza. It's an amazing piece of art. Flanked by the gorgeous and serene black glass and steel buildings by Mies van der Rohe (another great favorite), the sculpture is like a rebellion, a giant bright red explosion in the middle of the plaza. Calder gave the stabile its color, which has come to be called "Calder red", to offset it from the black and steel surroundings. The stabile is an art form which Calder pioneered. It is an abstract structure that is completely stationary, as opposed to a mobile, which can move with air currents. You've probably seen his mobiles? If you haven't, check them out, they're great. Calder was commissioned to design the sculpture because the space, surrounded by rectangular modern buildings, needed the kind of arching forms and dynamic surfaces that a large-scale Calder stabile could provide. Calder unveiled the model for Flamingo on April 23, 1973 at the Art Institute of Chicago, the sculpture was presented to the public for the first time on October 25, 1974, at the same time that his Universe mobile was unveiled at what was then known as the Sears Tower. Calder's structure is a prominent example of the constructivist movement, first popularized in Russia in the early 20th century. Constructivism refers to sculpture that is made from smaller pieces which are joined together. Finally a great picture of Calder in his studio, (from the book Calder by Jacob Baal- Teshuva) surrounded by his amazing mobiles and stabiles. What a guy!

Meine Jungs interessieren sich seit jeher für Tiere. Das größte Interesse gilt den einheimische Vögel und allen erdenklichen Insekten. Doch eine Tiergruppe hat es den beiden wirklich ganz besonders angetan, die Meeresbewohner. Und dabei sind meine Kinder selbst wie kleine Tiefsee- Schwämme, die jede Information mit großer Neugier aufsaugen. Unzählige Male haben wir uns verschiedene Dokumentarfilme zum Thema Tiefsee angeschaut, das Aquarium kennen wir mittlerweile auswendig und auch das Stralsunder Ozeaneum haben wir immerhin schon zwei mal besucht. Die Riesen der Meere sind ihre absoluten Lieblinge. Und weil wir, seit unserem Ausflug immernoch voll im Thema sind und mich diese wunderbaren Lebewesen auch schon immer fasziniert haben, schmücken sie nun auch unser Badezimmerfenster. Für das Wal Mobile habe ich verschiedenfarbiges Origamipapier genommen, es nach dieser Viedeoanleitung zu kleinen Walen gefaltet und sie anschließend mit Wasserfarben gestaltet. Es hat ein wenig gedauert und auch mehrer Anläufe gebraucht, bis ich eine einfache und schnelle Anleitung gefunden habe, aber diese hier ist wirklich easy und vorallem machbar. Ich muss gestehen, dass die hohe Kunst des Origamis und ich schon lange auf Kriegsfuß standen, doch diese kleine Bastelei ist wirklich hübsch anzusehnen und irgendwie beruhigt die Papierfalterei doch ungemein ;) Die Kids finden die neue Deko im Bad klasse und konnten auch sofort erkennen, welche Walarten ich darzustellen versuchte (Pottwale und einen Buckelwal). Nun wünschen sie sich noch ein paar Manta-Rochen...die Anleitung habe ich schon mal rausgesucht... Unsere Riesen der Meere schwimmen nun noch schnell zum Creadienstag und ich wünsche euch eine wundervolle Woche. Allerliebste Grüße, Kama
