Kay: She Goes Furher Than Anybody Else

Diane Keaton in the Godfather

Like all other female characters in the movie, Kay never attempts to have power in the family. She could only protest. The only power she has is over her body which includes her baby.

However, despite her beautiful and innocent face, Kay is the one which acts most violently in the whole Godfather series by killing her own baby to prevent giving birth to a monster; a boy who would grow up to be like his father.

The Fourth Plinth/ Rachel Whiteread

"What more delight then to encounter "The Monument." This sculpture is a cheerfully deadpan, proportionally serious, optically inflected object cast in clear resin that stands the classic pedestal on its head — literally."
Kevin Matthews with Don Barker, Postcard from London, Architecture Week @ http://www.architectureweek.com/2001/1114/culture_2-1.html

The Fourth Plinth/ Mark Wallinger

The Fourth Plinth

Today I've participated in a very interesting seminar on Public Art orginized by British Council and Garanti Platform. The Fourth Plinth Project presented by Julie Lomax [ Head of Visual Arts Organisation, Arts Council England, London] and Teresa Gleadowe [independent writer, editor and curator, London] was really exciting.
The Fourth Plinth was an empty plinth in the Trafalgar Square which has not been realized for a long time. It has recently been transformed into a public art project.

Mark Wallinger's Ecce Homo is one of the commisions that refunctionalized the plinth as a pedestal. The sculpture which represents Jesus is situated not in the middle of the pedestal but on the edge. Therefore it seems like the figure is watching over the crowd. He looks concerned. You can't see here but his hands are tied at the back. Absolutely stunning!

"Çok Eskiden Rastlaşacaktık"

Halil and Sabiha from the 1968 Lütfi Akad movie "Vesikalı Yarim": a tragic and unforgettable encounter between a reliable family man and a B-Girl during a legendery time in Istanbul when people were still made of flesh and bone; when men had the guts and women the pride.
