Onomatopoeia stained glass windows, Palais de Tokyo by Christian Marclay

Christian Marclay – Seven Windows, Palais de TokyoAs part of the reopening of Palais De Tokyo, Christian Marclay has designed a series of glass windows overlooking the Avenue du Président-Wilson. The Swiss and American artist, whose work explores the connections between sound and visual art, uses onomatopoeias taken from comic books as graphic expressions of noise. Seven Windows encapsulates sound through glass. The result is a beautiful, colorful series that works to tell a story through the sequential panes of glass that mimic the organization of a comic strip.

Posting from my mobile so the pic resolution might be a tad 'off'. I'm off to another Northern Soul night soon and wanted a new outfit that I could comfortably dance in. I can't dance in pencil skirts (chub rub hell) and Fred Perry polo shirts are well out of my price range (even second hand!). The t-shirt arrived earlier, so I'm all set!

A movie that glorifies the death of Muslims and another that glorifies the abuse of women are Hollywood’s biggest and most anticipated movies of 2015. We got a problem.

In addition to being a regular fixture at peaceful protests, [Rosa May] Billinghurst was drawn to militant action and demonstrations. In 1910, she participated in Black Friday, leading the police to try to subdue her by knocking her out of her tricycle, pushing it down a side street, removing the valves from the tyres, and restraining her arms. Never easily deterred, she was back a few days later for the next protest, only this time she came prepared to use her tricycle as a battering ram to get through police lines.

If you didn’t catch that, there absolutely of course there were no doubt about it disabled women actively, physically, vocally, powerfully participating and being leaders in the women’s suffrage movement in the US and England.
