INTERNATIONAL OPEN CALL

Island2IslandArt 2021 Exhibition

LIMINAL TIES UNVEILED


Applications to Island2IslandArt 2021 can be submitted from the 15th February 2021 to the 30th April 2021, midnight (BST).

The second edition of Island2IslandArt will take place in an ever-changing cultural and artistic environment highly affected by the 2020 pandemic.
In a spirit of optimism and anticipation for a return to normality and face-to-face encounters, we are calling all artists, British and international, for a selection of artworks to be displayed in our planned exhibitions taking place in the summer in Coventry, and in London in autumn. A hybrid format (physical-virtual) is planned if restrictions are still in place.
The original aim of our event, to deepen the cultural awareness of Sardinian art and culture, continues to be fundamental to our brief, particularly in this post-brexit times. With our new exhibitions, we are extending the discourse of remoteness and bridging gaps to include all islands in the world.
The objective is to open up a space for artistic connections in celebration of each other's heritage, cultural diversity and human connections.
Sardinia is one of the largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea and one of the most geologically ancient bodies of land in Europe. Its strategic position fostered a constant influx of populations and exchange of cultural traditions which are still present in contemporary life and found to be similar in other islands in the world.
Artists of any discipline are challenged to explore such connections and are invited to submit their proposals inspired by these cultural traditions with a direct or indirect relation amongst collective or individual experiences.
Themes might include: communalities and contrasts of culture and heritage; immigration/emigration; urbanism versus rural; environmental issues; isolation and ways of networking.
A jury panel will select the submissions which best reflect the spirit of the brief.
The selection will culminate in a group exhibition of up to 50 shortlisted artworks to take place in two separate locations: Coventry, UK City of Culture 2021, and London.
The event might move to virtual mode should the Covid19 situation carry onto September.

Ogni cosa è collegata: Gabriella Greison a Sant'Antioco il 24 giugno (e non è un caso)

Immagine
Sabato 24 giugno  Gabriella Greison sarà a Sant'Antioco  (aula consiliare, con inizio alle 19:00) dove avrò il piacere e l'onore di presentarla al pubblico.  Sarà un piacere perché (come sapete bene se seguite questo blog) adoro quando la fisica (e la scienza in generale) sale sul palcoscenico.  Sarà un onore perché il percorso professionale di Gabriella Greison è davvero straordinario e pieno di successi: nessuna o nessuno prima di lei ha mai portato la fisica (e la scienza) al grande pubblico (in Italia e non solo) in questo modo. Sinceramente, dopo averla vista sul palco del Cagliari FestivalScienza 2018 , questo successo non mi stupisce per niente: per me era già chiaro come il sole che non sarebbe stata una breve avventura.  Infatti Gabriella Greison ha proseguito a scrivere e portare in scena opere, a scrivere e pubblicare libri e tanto altro. Io questa la chiamo, con grande ammirazione, avventura. Perché dentro ci vedo forza, caparbietà, curiosità, fantasia. Ma anche un

La tavoletta di Dispilio. Quel testo del 5260 a.C. che attende di essere decifrato

Immagine
Una tavoletta di legno con alcune incisioni tuttora incomprensibili. Un mistero scientifico ancora tutto da scoprire: è la Tavoletta di Dispilio, portata alla luce dall'archeologo George Hourmouziadis in Grecia nel 1993. La datazione al carbonio-14 la colloca nel 5260 a.C. quindi il reperto sarebbe molto più antico rispetto ai primi testi di epoca sumera e 4.000 anni più vecchio rispetto ai tipi di scrittura cretese-micenea (Lineare B) . Il ritrovamento avvenne all'interno di un sito archeologico situato nei pressi del villaggio di Dispilio sul lago Kastoria (Prefettura di Kastoria) che sembra essere stato occupato dal Neolitico medio (5600 a.C.) al neolitico finale (3000 a.C.). La tavoletta di Dispilio fa parte dei 10 codici e testi non ancora decifrati .

Solar system genealogy revealed by extinct short-lived radionuclides in meteorites. Astronomy & Astrophysics, Volume 545, September 2012.

Immagine
The stellar environment of the Solar System at its birth is not yet fully known , as it has accomplished 20 revolutions around the galactic centre since its formation 4.5 billion years ago.  Matthieu Gounelle (Laboratoire de Minéralogie et Cosmochimie du Muséum National d'Histoire naturelle/CNRS) and Georges Meynet (Observatoire de Genève) established the Solar System genealogy thanx to a radioactive element, 26Al, which was present in the nascent Solar System.  Their results are published this week in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. The authors of this paper show that the parent massive star (name proposed: Coatlicue, from the Sun's mother in the Aztec cosmogony) and which is roughly 30 times more massive than our Sun, they was born with roughly 2000 stars. The star Coatlicue died in a supernova explosion. The authors show that the parent massive star, which they propose to call Coatlicue (the Sun's mother in the Aztec cosmogony), and which is ro
