A walk between art and a very special room.

in Wednesday Walk23 days ago

That a walk allows one to be transported to another world, even if only for a few moments and the journey is mental, is great, because the imagination explores freely.

I often go on walks that end in visits to places where there is art, and sometimes the whole walk is full of it.

This walk or journey, partly mental and imaginative, started in a shipyard, looking at pictures and photographs of constructions in harbours, many of those photographs were old and in black and white or practically without much colour. I like these areas of the city or walking through them either in reality or through art.

It was a very small room of a semi-permanent exhibition with very varied art, from photographs, sculptures, surrealism and as you will see much more, even a trip to a small house, but that goes further on in my walk.

It is a sample of how the human being changes landscapes, spaces in this case within the city. With every step that human beings take, they modify the environment that surrounds them in one way or another, be it in the city or in the countryside, in life in general.

These modifications generate consequences of all kinds, social, economic, cultural, and I have been able to appreciate several works where the artists show these consequences and these ways of human beings interacting with the environment that surrounds them.

In the next room I was able to see several of these works, and also in very varied forms such as photographs of businesses like a pharmacy.

When I saw this giant boot, I wondered who could wear such a long boot, perhaps a giant. I tend to wonder about the works, mental questions I ask myself. Then I read the name on the sign and the work is called "Big Boot Lying Down", 1965 by the artist Jim Dine. I wondered if the boot was too tired and needed to rest.

Andrea Branzi exhibited this work, Competition for the Tokyo International Forum in 1989. It is a black monolith with a metal casing.

When I saw this work I didn't even know what to think, I saw a shelf and a dry tree in the middle and that's exactly what it was. I thought of nature passing through the work of man. This work belongs to the same artist as the previous work and they are so different.


20250216_170339.jpg


In a corner of the room, like something forgotten, was this representation, whose artist is Gabriel Kuri. A corner with random objects, symbolising part of the real life we encounter in our daily lives. What object would you incorporate into this block, one that represents you? That's what the artist asks.

This work really made me laugh, to see a pair of trousers hanging with branches inside the pockets is not something normal and the work is called "Pocket that itches". The author Mircea Cantor. Reading the posters I realised that the play is about Romanian immigrants in Italy, and the lack of money.


20250216_170506.jpg


At the other end of the room I could already see oil paintings with human figures and how human beings influence the space in which they find themselves.


20250216_170532.jpg


I was also able to find various posters explaining the different rooms and what the works in them referred to, as in this case the theme of public space and its use according to the rules. I really like the fact that the exhibitions have the right references to understand the artists' work. But that doesn't mean that I don't have my own impressions when I look at them.

The walk was like a kind of labyrinth between works that many would call amparte, because in reality it is a mixture of things from real life and also paintings, photographs and even representations with their due histories and explanations, as in the case of these chairs hanging on the wall.


20250216_171424.jpg


That little tour inside a labyrinth finally led me to a large room, which when I entered seemed to me to be in a completely different museum.

The things I saw reminded me of my childhood or the childhood of many children with didactic games and although the room was also made up of large paintings, they matched perfectly with the place, with bright colours and cool shapes.


20250216_171301.jpg


I felt as if I were small, but not in age but in size in front of the huge works I saw, everything was done on a large scale.

A small toy-like house invited you to look inside, but it seems that you didn't have the right pass, only a select few could enter.

In one sector, pieces with different geometric shapes reminded me of childhood games, the kind that help develop children's intellect, creativity and imagination. Those that are often forgotten nowadays.


20250216_171040.jpg


What do you think this giant work looks like? You have no idea how tall it is. It looks like sheep's wool twisted into sticks, very original.


20250216_171248.jpg


This room and its works are called "Recomposing dreams and realities" and I really liked everything I saw, a gigantic, shadowy world, full of colour. Or at least that's what I perceived or what it conveyed to me.


20250216_171312.jpg


The room was beautiful, like a kindergarten classroom, with giant games, beautiful works with lots of colours.

Look at these super giant chairs, surely here lives a giant who at that moment was taking a walk like me. Thank goodness I didn't run into him.

In each picture I could see more paths to explore full of imagination and creativity, I love that. They invite you to dream, to fly, to immerse yourself in other worlds through each brushstroke.

After that walk I went to the upper floor because you can have a panorama of the same room, but from another height and it was magical. Every corner of this museum is marvellous, to be visited several times.

Thank you very much for joining me on this Wednesday walk, I send you all a big hello. See you next time.

Thank you so much @indiaunited and @steemflow 🤗

I love it when you incorporate art into your walks. I love the work of Romanian immigrants in Italy. It's truly creative.

I appreciate you sharing these beautiful shots.

Have a lovely Wednesday afternoon of walking.

I love the walks and even more if there is art in any form, thank you very much for always being there!🤗

Hello @avdesing

Your photographs are beautiful, as are all the works. The giant works are magical.

What a beautiful walk!

Thank you so so much @miprimerconcurso 🤗

Wow, that's a lot of experimental pieces. The great thing about these extreme examples is that they reveal the boundaries between art, design, and technology.

It has been an amazing tour and I really enjoyed every how, this one especially is eye catching, thank you!!!!

There are several works that caught my attention. One is the shelves with the tree. What came to my mind is how little we think about what the things we buy and use are made of. The pants, after reading the explanation also made sense to me. And those big sticks with wool also caught my eye, although I don't know what to say. They remind me of some very very childish scene.

Thank you very much for these walks, and for sharing them. A hug @avdesing.

The truth is that I was surprised by everything... I always like to see paintings and when I see things like that I say to myself... what is that? hahaha but it was nice to see that art, even though I don't know why. Thank you!

There is not always why. You liked it, you shared it and the rest of us appreciate it.

That's right! I wanted to enter the house.... I couldn't hahaha

Un relato nuevo para ZDE?

No no.. eso es casa 15 días jajaja alterno con Lifestyle jajaja

🤣 y lo conseguiste?

I wondered if the boot was too tired and needed to rest.

It was Gulliver's boot. As he was resting, so the boot was resting too 😂

Wow, the "Recomposing dreams and realities" works are so cool!!

He told you that he left his boot there? What an outrage I didn't see him to say hello!

I loved that area, I wanted to enter the house and they didn't let me....😌

Of course he told me, you know he rests in Valencia in one park

That's a pity. The same as I can't take the piano bench home 😂

I responded this accidentally on my comment and not on your as I wanted 😂. Me siento como con fiebre, pero todo bien, es solo la reacción normal después de una cosa que tuve hoy

Calm down... as long as you're well, the rest is unimportant. Have a rest! I'm not feeling well today either, but that's normal for women haha.

Las mejores caminatas las experimentas tu, definitivamente 😍 Esta exposición de arte está genial, sobre todo las sillas gigantes, me encanta.

Ver esas sillas fue genial!!! Me sentí una enana jajaja muchas gracias!!

What object would you incorporate into this block, one that represents you?

My old camera

I liked very much this art-filled walk and the questions you ask yourself. It's lovely to have the freedom you have to express everything you think and feel.

When I saw the giant chairs I thought of the chair I first saw in front of Pabexpo, a place for fairs and exhibitions here in Havana. Well, specifically it was at the entrance of El Palenque, a shopping centre and restaurant with ranchones next door.

Then they installed it in Santiago de Cuba, a city in the far east of Cuba, and I have the photo of the chair among my photos of one of the times I was there, but now I'm too lazy to look for it hahaha.... https://www.swissinfo.ch/spa/instalan-una-silla-de-8-5-metros-de-altura-en-santiago-de-cuba/46703034

A hug, Avecilla.

I think the chair you are talking about is much bigger than these!!! Amazing!!! I'm glad you put your camera there, I'd put my paint palette there, important things for us!!!! Thank you!

Your walk always has a second purpose, and end up discovering something new or surprising. Hehee, that boot indeed is for giant, it's already past the knee of a normal human being ... The artwork with branch reminds me of some houses with concrete fences, but they still take into consideration the old tree, so they construct the fence such that the tree is not harmed. The trousers with the leaves, made me laugh too. Oh well, in the countryside, when we hang our clothes outside, they are next to the plants, similar idea perhaps. Some of these art ideas are beyond my imagination.

Thank you very much for mentioning those works that stood out for you, I'm delighted you did, it's always nice to do tours like this, thank you!
