I'm very serious about this race between education and catastrophe. I'm very serious about the connection between critical thinking and consciousness. I'm very serious about dim sum and laughter and not taking this whole thing so very seriously.

I finally took time to stop and read this poem; part of an art installation by Marlene Dumas. It hangs in a cultureless corridor filled with art, that I’d passed dozens of times on the way to my office. I wonder if I’m the only person whose stopped to read it, and if any others did whether they too shivered at the realisation of the vacuum surrounding them.

Peter Elungat uses thick oil paint straight from the tube in this painting of Angelina – a mystical figure of the magical and spiritual world.

In 1945 collaboration began between the ubergenius Salvador Dalí and Walt Disney to produce an animated Dali- almost a tautology in itself. Financial woes intervened and all that was released was a precious 18 seconds of footage. In 1999, Walt Disney’s nephew, Roy Disney, unearthed the dormant project and with a team of 25 animators deciphered the storyboards and finished the timeless masterpiece.

I was blessed in early 2005 to see the full six-minute production and a collection of stills from the work- right here in the Netherlands. It was, and is, the most beautiful film I have ever seen. An animated Dali has a fourth dimension of fluidity- a dimension that is hinted at in every painting, but finally, here in these six delicate minutes, is brought to it’s ultimate creation.

And before I forget here is something very, very nice.

A little Dali for mothersday. A salute to all those who have born, raised, let go of and rediscovered their children.
