William Butler Yeats: The Mask

 

The Mask

‘Put off that mask of burning gold
With emerald eyes.’
‘O no, my dear, you make so bold
To find if hearts be wild and wise,
And yet not cold.’

‘I would but find what’s there to find,
Love or deceit.’
‘It was the mask engaged your mind,
And after set your heart to beat,
Not what’s behind.’

‘But lest you are my enemy,
I must enquire.’
‘O no, my dear, let all that be;
What matter, so there is but fire
In you, in me?’

William Butler Yeats
(1865-1939)

“Tenir sa langue”, roman de Polina Panassenko

« Ce que je veux moi, c’est porter le prénom que j’ai reçu à la naissance. Sans le cacher, sans le maquiller, sans le modifier. Sans en avoir peur. »

Elle est née Polina, en France elle devient Pauline. Quelques lettres et tout change.

À son arrivée, enfant, à Saint-Étienne, au lendemain de la chute de l’URSS, elle se dédouble : Polina à la maison, Pauline à l’école.

Vingt ans plus tard, elle vit à Montreuil. Elle a rendez-vous au tribunal de Bobigny pour tenter de récupérer son prénom.

Ce premier roman est construit autour d’une vie entre deux langues et deux pays.

D’un côté, la Russie de l’enfance, celle de la datcha, de l’appartement communautaire où les générations se mélangent, celle des grands-parents inoubliables et de Tiotia Nina.

De l’autre, la France, celle de la materneltchik, des mots qu’il faut conquérir et des Minikeums.

Drôle, tendre, frondeur, Tenir sa langue révèle une voix hors du commun.

Kunst en vliegwerk, in het spoor van Panamarenko. Nog t/m 15 januari 2023 in Oss

Van de uitvinding van het wiel tot de raket: al van oudsher zoekt de mens manieren om de wereld om ons heen een beetje mooier of efficiënter te maken. Minstens zo interessant is de zoektocht die hieraan voorafgaat. Hier schuilt namelijk de verbeeldingskracht en is er nog volop ruimte om te dromen.

Beeldend kunstenaar Panamarenko (1940-2019) was op dit gebied een absolute grootmeester. Zijn krabbels, constructies en machines getuigen van een ontembare vindingrijkheid. Niet gericht op het resultaat, maar op de intentie. Met extra aandacht voor de schoonheid van de mislukking.

Het is een missie die nog altijd velen aanspreekt. Ook Johannes Langkamp (1985), Fillip Studios (Roos Meerman, 1991 en Tom Kortbeek, 1987), Stan Wannet (1977), Romy Joya Kuldip Singh (1993) en Wim Warrink (1983) zijn geïntrigeerd door het functioneren – of niet-functioneren – van de wereld om ons heen.

Wat zijn andere mogelijkheden van menselijke uitvindingen, als we verder kijken dan hun gebruikelijke toepassingen? En wanneer gaat de machine zijn eigen leven leiden?

Zo creëert Stan Wannet een ateliersetting waarin een mannetje (de kunstenaar zelf?) allerhande spullen ordent en er een levende figuur mee opbouwt. Wim Warrink zet de monumentale vloer uit 1888 op het spel: houden flinterdunne draadjes het gewicht van een enorme stempel?

In Kunst en vliegwerk vormt het gedachtengoed van Panamarenko het uitgangspunt voor een actuele groepstentoonstelling waarin de zwaartekracht wordt getart, dansende pennen een geheimschrift vastleggen, tandwielen dieren in beweging zetten en machines de museale villa tot leven laten komen. In De Gastenkamer presenteert de Osse Francisco Gomez de la Cruz zijn puzzelkistjes.

O! there are spirits of the air by Percy Bysshe Shelley

O! there are spirits of the air

O! there are spirits of the air
 And genii of the evening breeze,
And gentle ghosts, with eyes as fair
 As star-beams among twilight trees:—
Such lovely ministers to meet
Oft hast thou turned from men thy lonely feet.

With mountain winds, and babbling springs,
 And moonlight seas, that are the voice
Of these inexplicable things
Thou didst hold commune, and rejoice
When they did answer thee; but they
Cast, like a worthless boon, thy love away.

And thou hast sought in starry eyes
 Beams that were never meant for thine
Another’s wealth:—tame sacrifice
 To a fond faith I still dost thou pine!
Still dost thou hope that greeting hands,
Voice, looks, or lips, may answer thy demands!

Ah! wherefore didst thou build thine hope
 On the false earth’s inconstancy!
Did thine own, mind afford no scope
 Of love, or moving thoughts to thee!
That natural scenes or human smiles
Could steal the power to wind thee in their wiles.

Yes, all the faithless smiles are fled
 Whose falsehood left thee broken-hearted;
The glory of the moon is dead;
 Night’s ghosts and dreams have now departed;
Thine own soul still is true to thee,
But changed to a foul fiend through misery.

This fiend, whose ghastly presence ever
 Beside thee like thy shadow hangs,
Dream not to chase;—the mad endeavour
 Would scourge thee to severer pangs.
Be as thou art. Thy settled fate,
Dark as it is, all change would aggravate.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
(1792 – 1822)
O! there are spirits of the air

A Book of Days by Patti Smith

A deeply moving and brilliantly idiosyncratic visual book of days by the National Book Award–winning author of Just Kids and M Train, featuring more than 365 images and reflections that chart Smith’s singular aesthetic—inspired by her wildly popular Instagram.

In 2018, without any plan or agenda for what might happen next, Patti Smith posted her first Instagram photo: her hand with the simple message “Hello Everybody!” Known for shooting with her beloved Land Camera 250, Smith started posting images from her phone including portraits of her kids, her radiator, her boots, and her Abyssinian cat, Cairo.

Followers felt an immediate affinity with these miniature windows into Smith’s world, photographs of her daily coffee, the books she’s reading, the graves of beloved heroes —William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Simone Weil, Albert Camus. Over time, a coherent story of a life devoted to art took shape, and more than a million followers responded to Smith’s unique aesthetic in images that chart her passions, devotions, obsessions, and whims.

Original to this book are vintage photographs: anniversary pearls, a mother’s keychain, and a husband’s Mosrite guitar. Here, too, are photos from Smith’s archives of life on and off the road, train stations, obscure cafés, a notebook always nearby. In wide-ranging yet intimate daily notations, Smith shares dispatches from her travels around the world.

With over 365 photographs taking you through a single year, A Book of Days is a new way to experience the expansive mind of the visionary poet, writer, and performer. Hopeful, elegiac, playful—and complete with an introduction by Smith that explores her documentary process—A Book of Days is a timeless offering for deeply uncertain times, an inspirational map of an artist’s life.

Patti Smith is a writer, performer, and visual artist. She gained recognition in the 1970s for her revolutionary merging of poetry and rock. She has released twelve albums, including Horses, which has been hailed as one of the top one hundred debut albums of all time by Rolling Stone.

Smith had her first exhibit of drawings at the Gotham Book Mart in 1973 and has been represented by the Robert Miller Gallery since 1978. Her books include Just Kids, winner of the National Book Award in 2010, Wītt, Babel, Woolgathering, The Coral Sea, and Auguries of Innocence.

Niki de Saint Phalle exhibition in Zürich and Frankfurt

Her sensual Nanas—buxom, colorful female figures— laid the foundation for her international success beyond the art world: Niki de Saint Phalle.

But the self-taught artist’s creative spectrum is much broader, and her unconventional oeuvre, ranging from painting and drawing to assemblages, performances, theater, film, and architecture, is more subversive and critical of society than is widely assumed.

Based on her efforts to process her own feelings, she addressed social and political issues, critically questioning institutions and role models in ways that are as relevant today as they have ever been.

The exhibition and the publication shed new light on the artist’s exceptional personality and uncover the wide-ranging oeuvre of the popular outsider—that is always surprising and eccentric, emotional, dark and brutal, humorous and cheerful.

NIKI DE SAINT PHALLE (1930–2002) is one of the most important artists and sculptors of her generation. Growing up in Paris and New York, she returned to Paris in the 1950s, where she began her artistic career with her legendary Tirs, her “shooting” series, created during provocative performances.

Delphine Lecompte: De dieren in mij. Dichtbundel over de tweestrijd van de mens

Ongekend ontroerend, dat is De dieren in mij, de eerste dichtbundel van Delphine Lecompte. Ze kreeg er de C. Buddingh’-prijs voor.

Hier toonde iemand zich even strijdbaar als kwetsbaar met gedichten die een diepe indruk achterlaten. Zo anders van toon dan haar gevierde, exuberante recente werk. De dieren in mij is een bundel die een plaats afdwingt in de kast en het hart van iedere poëzieliefhebber. Het is Lecompte zonder opsmuk. Ook dan is haar werk beeldschoon.

Delphine Lecompte (1978) debuteerde in 2004 in het Engels met de roman Kittens in the Boiler, daarna schakelde ze over naar gedichten in haar moedertaal. Voor haar debuutbundel De dieren in mij (2009) ontving ze de C. Buddingh’-prijs en de Prijs voor Letterkunde van de Provincie West-Vlaanderen. In 2015 verscheen Dichter, bokser, koningsdochter, dat genomineerd werd voor de VSB Poëzieprijs. Voor The Best of Delphine Lecompte (2018) selecteerde ze zelf de greatest hits uit haar rijke oeuvre, dat met Vrolijke verwoesting (2019) negen dichtbundels omvat. In 2020 maakte Lecompte haar debuut als prozaïste met Beschermvrouwe van de verschoppelingen. In oktober 2021 verscheen Beschermvrouwe van de verschoppelingen II, waarin de waanzin andermaal welig tiert en dat naar eigen zeggen dubbel zo goed is. In 2022 verscheen het derde deel.
