Pablo Picasso, La femme qui pleure I, 1937. Drypoint, aquatint, etching and scraper printed on Montval, laid paper 73.6 × 53.34 cm. © Succession Picasso/VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn. PARIS.- Entitled Timeless Innovation – Innovation Intemporelle, Beck & Eggeling International Fine Art and Priska Pasquer Paris will present their latest exhibition in Paris featuring works by Pablo Picasso in dialogue with four contemporary artists: Leiko Ikemura, Radenko Milak, Aljoscha, and Zohar Fraiman. The exhibition will take place from October 12 to November 10, 2024, in the Marais, close to the Picasso Museum. The concept of timelessness in art is both elusive and powerful. It refers to works that transcend their epoch, addressing universal truths and emotions that resonate across generations. The exhibition Timeless Innovation – Innovation Intemporelle approaches this idea by presenting the works of Pablo Picasso and juxtaposing them with those of Leiko Ikemura, Aljoscha, Radenko Milak, and Zohar Fraiman, each of whom challenge the conventions of their time and redefine the boundaries of contemporary art in their own unique ways. The exhibition offers an exciting opportunity to experience Picasso’s works alongside the work of contemporary artists, discovering the diversity and richness of various artist generations. The premises are located at 6 rue des Coutures Saint-Gervais in the Marais district of Paris, right next to the Picasso Museum.

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

Roman crucifixion was not only a method of execution but also a powerful deterrent used by the Romans. This brutal punishment was reserved for slaves, pirates, and enemies of the state. It symbolized ultimate disgrace and deterrence, showcasing the might of Roman law and order. Crucifixion involved nailing or binding the victim's hands and feet to a large wooden cross, leaving them to hang until death, which could take days. This form of capital punishment was designed to be as slow, painful, and humiliating as possible. Understanding these 15 facts about Roman crucifixion offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of ancient justice systems and the lengths to which authorities would go to maintain control and instill fear among the populace.

BREMEN.- Banu Çiçek Tülü uses sound as both a medium and a method to make things perceptible that often elude our ears, or for which hearing and listening are not are not always considered as reliable sources. As an artist and electronic music producer, Tülü concerns herself with the relationship between sounds and memories, in addition to the significance of sounds in the city, and in relation to our orientation. What environments would emerge if we started with sounds? What could we perceive when we listen with our entire body? Tülü focuses on the relationship between inside and outside, asking to what extent does one’s body become a non-human object as a result of a medical operation, and how do they interact in different rhythms through sound?
