Carmen Cirillo watercolours
Carmen Cirillo has brought a new series of her work entitled “Assonanze Marine” to show in Barga this week at the Galleria Comunale in Barga Vecchia. Her strong connection with the sea is evident in the choice of the images on the walls of the gallery, slightly more hidden is the musical connection but with the help of the titles of each watercolour that too becomes more easily discernible.
Water colours can often fall into trap where any artistic statement or intent gets lost in the technique but not these. Some very strong images from this artist who last exhibited her work of a very different kind here in Barga back in 2004.
Interesting to see as well one of the images from the sea bed of a fossil, aside from the mathematical conundrum of the Fibonacci Spiral … now where have we seen that image before in Barga ? hmmmm …. here and here in the red marble floor of the Duomo.
From the barganews archives; 2004 - Carmen Cirillo has brought to Barga a small selection of a larger series of watercolours about Pinocchio. These were previously shown at the birthplace of Pinocchio and there we are already in hot water…… as Pinocchio, of course does not exist…. but she makes us forget that. A series of images of Pinocchio through modern times. A space walk, playing with the Beatles and images of classic objects such as the FIAT 500, Moto Guzzi motorbikes and Vespas all appear in her work. source here

- Viviano : Bill Sheets and I reached a stunning conclusion this evening: At approximately $800 billion, the U.S. financial bail-out is equal to the cost of 250 glasses of wine at Aristdemo's Caffe for every man, woman and child on Earth. Bill agreed with me that Marino will need to hire at least one more barista to handle the crowd. We arrived at these figures over a glass of wine, needless to say. But I checked them on my calculator when I got home, and they add up.

- everyone : you will be sorely missed.
- W. Shakespeare : Lear? Not at all! Those words are lifted from Macbeth's soliloquy:"....L ife's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."
- Quentin Compson : Yes, Ma'am. It would be King Lear I believe, an allusion to the fool (and to Lear himself). But there is a more recent connection between Yokapatawpha and the Coldfields with a Biblical reference -- Absalom -- rather than the Shakespearean one to which you allude.
- poetry : Miss Coldfield, considered poetess laureate of Yoknapatawpha County, may simply be quoting Shakespeare, I do believe.
- Quentin Compson : Rosa: Stay in your own novel, please. You have no business in The Sound and the Fury, although I appear in both.
- Quentin Compson : Doggy, May I refer you to three sources on the Action-Theory dialectic? Albert Camus: "To do is to be." Jean-Paul Sartre: "To be is to do." Francis Albert Sinatra; "Do be do be doo." That should answer your question.
