Regardez: The Gates
Christo and Jean Claude work(s) are visually impressive and often controversial as a result of its scale, the artists have denied that their projects contain any deeper meaning than their immediate asthetics. The Gates a sculptural installation of 7,503 vinyl "gates" along 23 miles of pathways in New York City's iconic 100% man-made Central Park. From each gate hung a panel of deep saffron coloured nylon fabric. The exhibition ran from February 12-27, 2005. The Gates alludes to the tradition of Japanese torii gates, traditionally constructed at the entrance to Shinto shrines. Thousands of vermillion-coloured torii line the paths of the Fushimi Inari shrine in Kyoto Japan. Successful Japanese businessmen traditionally purchase a gate in graditude to Inari, the god of wordly prosperity.

Hip Hop Legends
So on Friday night I saw Whodini, Slick Rick, Doug E Fresh, and Big Daddy Kane Live in concert, while waving my hands in the air and shouting Ola Ola Ola! I realized that Old Skool Hip Hop NEVER Dies. The people who populated the audience shouted ever single word and there eyes lit up as soon as the beat dropped on every song. I have a new found love for Old Skool rap music and as Hip Hop turns 30 this year growing old means that you are still alive.

Happy Thanksgiving
So its that time of year again where we are faced with family, friends and even worse cooking. But I have a great dessert idea that will sweeten up any Turkey Day gathering. One of my best friends from college gave me this recipe for a Lemon Tart Pie.
Ingredients
1 ready-made graham cracker pie crust
1 14-ounce can of low-fat sweetened condensed milk
1 envelope of Kool-Aid (any flavor works but for this use Lemon)
1 small tub Cool Whip, thawed
Instructions
Whisk all ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
Pour into pie crust and refrigerate at least one hour before serving.
Garnish with lemon zests and Serve!
I personally am looking forward to the Thanksgiving Holiday and everything that comes with it, there are many thanks to be given.

Regardez:Interesting Typography
I just find this typography interesting. For me this is not commentary on world issues or anything of the sort.

Regardez Rustic Minimalism: Junquillos Chapel
This remote chapel in the countryside of Southern Chile, by Claudio Baladron and Diego Grass. It is a wooden barn structure over a concrete platform with corrugated metal cladding in the outside and pine boards in the inside.It only contains 100 chairs, lectern, altar, virgin figure and a cross. I find this rustic minimalism to be so beautiful! Mass is once a month, community activities every evening. Both happen in this same space.

Studied architecture at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (2002-2009) and has collaborated with Diego Grass P. since 2008.
