Renwick Gallery Is Overtaken With 60 Miles Of Rainbow Hand Weaved by Gabriel Dawe

Contemporary artist Gabriel Dawe is delighting visitors at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery with his masterpiece “Plexus A1” - rainbows woven with 60 miles of thread that create a magical visual experience. It’s part of a major exhibition titled “Wonder” where several artists transform their location specific installations into a larger than life installation.

The Mexican artist combines the architecture of the historical museum and fashions a hand-threaded spectrum of rainbow yarn individually from floor to ceiling; replicating an enchanting experience for spectators as they walk through the corridors and hallways to be confronted by monumental rainbows sweeping from the ceiling to the floor.  Dawe has meticulously worked with 60 miles of thread for 10 days, composed of 15 colors of the spectrum, and single handedly blanketed the Renwick’s 19-foot tall ceilings with thousands of strands of polyester string. Mistaken for fleeting rays of light, the piece is an iridescent exhibition. Each layer is carefully constructed, to assure that the hues shift with light in a specific gradient mimicking a true rainbow.

Gabriel Dawe’s Plexus A1 is a resurrection of his memories from his childhood in Mexico city.

For people learning French and wanting to speak it like a native, I’ll give you some tips, the things native people say (so you can sound less formal when you speak it).

“Je suis” is often shortened to “j’suis” and if we say it fast, it becomes “chuis”

“Tu es” and basically every verb with “tu” that starts with a vowel, we contract it and make it “t’es”, “t’arrives”, etc.

“il y a”, “il y avait” are most of the time shortened to (oral speech and when writing to a friend) “ya”, “y avait”

To make a question, it’s rare that we use the “est-ce que” form, we just take the affirmative sentence and put a question mark at the end : tu veux manger? (instead of : veux-tu manger?, est-ce que tu veux manger?)

Some abbreviations we often use :

bcp (beaucoup), mtn (maintenant), pk (pourquoi), tlm (tout le monde), mm (même), ptn (putain)

I know this post is probably useless but if you have any questions about french, ill be happy to answer them!

App Recommendation: Hemingway Editor

Hello guys!

I have another App Recommendation: The Hemingway Editor. 

This is a web app that helps you with the structure of your text. I used it for my paper on police brutality but you can also use it for fictional texts etc.

The features of the app can help you structure your text by highlighting:

sentences that are very / hard to read

phrases which have simpler alternatives

adverbs

passive voice

Using short and simple sentences helped me with structuring and creating a clearer course of my arguments. 

I hope this helps you guys.

Happy Writing!

Indigenous people of Brazil trying to prevent their eviction from an old indigenous museum which they have been living in for the past 7 years.

On March 22nd all of the inhabitants and their supporters were forcibly removed or arrested.

The building is being destroyed to make a parking lot :(

I just heard this woman say “you procrastinate because you are afraid of rejection. It’s a defense mechanism, you are trying to protect yourself without even trying.” and I think I just realized what was wrong with me.

Just worked out I have over 150 books in my bookshelves that I haven’t read yet…crap.

and dare i decide that your laugh is forevermore a companion to my ears

all the times ive caught you looking at me

were those eyes full of admiration, so endearingly- just like how mine does to yours

or was it just another caught up moment, like you and me are just friends, nothing more and nothing less

and this struggled beating heart whenever you make an appearance

Guys, I’m trying out a new method of studying that seems to be really effective so far. Instead of writing with your hands, place a staedtler pen between your first two toes and use your other foot to hold down a page on your moleskine. Writing with your feet stops your hands from getting tired too quickly so you can use your hands for more important stuff! Happy studying!!!!!!!

and another hour wasted thinking of you, dear darling - dyngenights

i have been watching you from at the back fo your friends head this infatuation seems to be reliving of moment where our eyes met and when you didnt acknowledge my feelings for you

you stood before my eyes and i still dont see what i need

they said, let bygones be bygones

but how can I

when this feelings were already written down on a thrown stone

The Performance of a Male Coastal Peacock Spider hoping to appeal to a Female mate.

Although other species of spider are known to perform mating rituals similar to this one, the legwork used as well as symmetry and colours of the clown faced abdomen is very unique.

A cannibalistic nature of the female; which is common in certain spider species, is also observed in this type. 

A female may witness the dance, but could already be carrying eggs or is uninterested. The perturbed female usually attacks the male; and although the male has superior jumping ability helping its escape, if it is not quick enough it is killed and devoured. 

It is also common that even if the female is interested, she can still devour the male after mating.

Raise your hand if you started off as an overachiever and now you’re fighting off crippling anxiety and depression as you watch people catch up and surpass you while you watch your own grades slowly slip

Even Kendall Jenner’s stomach has rolls when she bends over Candice Swanepoel has stretch marks and Nicki Minaj has scars. Selena Gomez has cellulite and Gisele Bundchen gets bloated sometimes. Adriana Lima doesn’t wake up with perfect hair, Gigi Hadid has bad breath, Beyonce cries, and even Kim Kardashian needs alone time. Jennifer Lawrence loses her temper, Rihanna lies, Kylie Jenner gets jealous and Taylor Swift feels hopeless. The point: Everyone is human and everyone does normal humanly things. Let’s stop trying to be so ‘super'human and take more time to focus on things that matter more than our appearances.
