An irregular, unpredictable, incoherent, unfocused set of mind-sparks that got me thinking. Handpicked, no robots. Minimalism in curation. Enjoy!

Enjoy!

There is a new edition of Petervan’s Delicacies. Number 124. An irregular, unpredictable, incoherent, unfocused set of mind-sparks that got me thinking.
As an appetizer, the last one on this edition is about Nakatomi Space, the tower that McClane explores in Die Hard via elevator shafts and air ducts, crashing through windows from the outside-in and shooting open the locks of rooftop doorways.
This is about “A ghostlike military fantasy world of boundless fluidity, in which the space of the city becomes as navigable as an ocean.” The physical walking-through-walls is a strong metaphor for radical innovation
Check-out issue #124 here. And if you like it, subscribe to future (unplanned, unguaranteed, unfocused) edition here.
This is a supplement to my post about the end-of-year assignment Art and Culture at the Academy of Visual Arts in Ghent.

Dear Fiorella,
Your lessons were always fun for me. You speak in poetic and philosophical words and sentences. I have written them all down and someday I will publish an anthology of them. Chris and Inge advised me to use them as inspirations for my paintwork.
Here are a few examples of sentences and statements that flow from your mouth:
THE CHESSBOARD IS EMOTIONLESS
A GOOD ARTWORK DOES NOT GIVE ANSWERS
THE INTENSITY OF SLOWNESS
BEING BROKEN IS A STATE OF BEING
WORKING WITH CLAY DOESN’T MAKE NOISE
WE CAN ONLY SEE EMPTYNESS WHEN WE FILL IT
THERE SHE LIES IN ALL HER GREATNESS
LYING IN DEATH
360 POSSIBLE VIEWS
IN RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ENVIRONMENT
AND KEEPING TRACK OF THEM IN OUR HEAD
“THE PARCOURS”
CREATION OF THE POSSIBILITIES
TO LET THE IMAGE EMERGE
BLOCKING OF THE VISUAL BRAIN
WHEN IS SOMETHING BECOMING TIRING?
WHEN YOU CANNOT DETERMINE YOUR OWN TEMPO
YOU CAN TAKE A SMALL STEP
TAKING A HUGE SPACE AT THE SAME TIME
THE BRAIN IS LIKE AN OFFICE
A HOUSE WITH ROOMS
SOMETIMES YOU NEED OTHER KEYS
With gratefulness,
