Spain’s May 15th movement is often called the revolution of the indignados, indignant at the failure of elective government to solve the problems that increasingly define the lives of ordinary people. The complaint, succinctly, is that the powers that be are collaborating in a systemic failure to live up to the rigors of a healthy, legitimate social contract.

Tens of thousands of youth protesters are occupying la Puerta del Sol, the central square in Madrid, the capital of Spain. They have been occupying the square for a week, and last night camped overnight, despite a new government ban. The protesters are calling themselves “los Indignados”, the indignant.

The Playing for Change producers’ aim was to “break down boundaries and overcome distances between people”, recognizing that “music has the universal power to transcend and unite us as one human race.” This video brings together musicians from around the world, but also shows many of them playing in the performance-intense streets at the heart of Barcelona’s old city or Casc Antic.

Playing for Change: “The idea for this project arose from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. No matter whether people come from different geographic, political, economic, spiritual or ideological backgrounds, music has the universal power to transcend and unite us as one human race.”

Es un paisaje de relevancias inesperadamente centrales e imprescindibles que he descubierto en volver a pisar este territorio almado, sentido, visceral, es una geología de acontecimientos inmersos en el espíritu, confesiones casi imposibles, miradas que lo explican todo tan abierta como cautelosamente, un oleaje de necesidades que por suerte son también gustos y lujos, intermitencias y alas que nos llevan a algo más duradero…

Superávit (surplus energy) is an exhibit to be organized and hosted in Barcelona, in 2009-2010 to feature painting, photography, books, short film, discussions, regarding ways in which the pace of prevailing lifestyles causes breakdown in our sense of cohesion, morally, economically, and in the visionary sense of one’s own purpose. We are at the focal point of a vast combining and stitching-together of resources and approaches, and the nature of life in the human world is, as a result, now constantly redefined.

‘Clown is failure,’ says Chris Mitchem, co-founder of Barcelona-based theatre company Clownfish. ‘What makes a good clown is the ability to accept failure.’ I hope he’s right. My attempt to attend the first day of Clown Theory, a five-day course run by US-born clown Jango Edwards, is a bit of a disaster. The workshop, Jango says, will make you ‘remember everything you forgot’, and is based on re-learning the innocence we are all born with. Jango, whose past audiences include the Rolling Stones and Salvador Dalí, is convinced anyone can become a clown. He’s had all sorts from taxi drivers to journalists take the course, and even persuaded an Italian policewoman to give it a go while she was giving him a speeding fine. She now directs a show with him called 00Clown, ‘where she plays a cop.’

El modernismo, gran época de la innovación y del diseño, adornos lujosos y caprichosos, entretejidos con estructuras completamente nuevas e insólitas, avances en la ingeniería y poesía infundiendo la mezcla de una vida especial que no tenía par en la época. O, ¿puede que sea una tradición ya pasada de moda que hay que superar para tener una “identidad propia”?

The world is facing a major environmental crisis, with multiple serious battles to fight on various fronts, if we are to avert crippling long-term environmental degradation. One fundamental problem is that post-industrial societies have not sufficiently divorced their economic activity from extreme contaminants like carbon-based fuels, so that special cases of exorbitant economic growth continue [...]

Un poeta trabaja en los rodeos y pertinencias de un universo propio, de unas ansiedades experimentadas y de un ambiente o dado o inventado. Pretende hacer llegar esa constelación de gustos y desgastes, conocimientos y acercamientos, al ámbito humano general. Es, por etimología, “creador” que busca descubrir, sintetizar, ampliar terrenos idiomáticos, expresar fórmulas y significados futuros, a través de una atención elevada, dirigida a los detalles de lo mundano y de los misterios del espíritu.

El artista vive no un vuelo por otros mundos, no un éxtasis arrasador que funda naciones, no un ciclo sinfónico de soles derritiéndose. El artista vive la vida de este mundo, el artificio de las construcciones humanas y la autenticidad de lo que duelen o fascinan sus límites. Vive un océano de contactos y acercamientos, pero como con cualquiera, esos roces y tributos no se alejan más de la distancia de la mano, de los sentidos, y del fenómeno de un individuo que enfrenta el hecho de estar presente, deshilachando el tejido del todavía no.
