It happens that the deities of information technology are not benevolent, and indeed, as I reported in post previous, a serious problem with the computer motherboard had left us stranded. Unfortunately the replacement could not be found, and after some failed attempts to repair it we decided to carry out a revamping of the car, an update of thehardware essentially, replacing the card, processor and memories. Certo, we would have done it sooner by buying a new PC, but our nature always pushes us towards recovery, and this computer is also a kind of patchwork electronic, without forgetting the advantage of having spent less than a third of what we would have had to leave at the checkout of a computer store.

Bene, let's move on to the narrative of our expedition to Moravia.
Actually no, we stop first in Vienna. Continua a leggere →

One More Time

Via, via, via!

Vienna, Prague, Brno, three experiences, three sensations, three characters, and three times three is nine, nine days during which we hiked, watched, discovery, encountered, traveled, eaten and, ça va sans dire, bevuto, nine days in search of memories and hopes, nine days that broke that cage of sadness that had imprisoned me for a couple of years.
Rossana who left at dawn on a gray Tuesday, she returned after a week and a half with a considerable store of memories but lighter in spirit.
At this point one of the gianographies written by mine is good sherpa / tourist agency / pusher / photographer / ecc., and it's called "GOODBYE".
The traveler knows no return. Starting is one, another person returns. If the same one returns, it is as if he had never left. Continua a leggere →

Good News

For twelve years I have not missed the appointment with Prague, obviously for the patchwork exhibition, and for everything there is to visit in Bohemia. Then in the 2020 the Wuhan plague came to upset our lives, and so for two years I had to give up that brief escape into an ancient and renewed world, far and very close, foreign and familiar. It still went well for me since I'm still here to write this post…
Today I found out that the Prague Patchwork Meeting is back, ma non solo, it finally does so in a venue worthy of a major international exhibition: il BVV, Trade fairs Brno.
This is the link of the PPM QUILT SHOW BRNO.
Although I may be missing some aspects of Prague, of the corners that I know too well, I could take advantage of the opportunity to visit Moravia, its castles, and Brno, with the Spielberg, la Villa Tugendhat, the Villa Löw-Beer and more. I have to study it a little’ his.
Meanwhile, I told you, that then getting Brno by public transport is not too difficult, just go through Vienna, and from there there are enough buses and trains to reach your destination in a couple of hours.

Ahoj.

 

Prague 2019

It could be my last article on Prague Patchwork Meeting.
Please note, It is not to be disappointed by the show, tutt’altro. The works were appreciated, arranged with taste and criterion, varied in style and perfectly enjoyable, in short, all good as ever.
But it is precisely that "as always" put me in crisis.
Even before I left I was afraid of being in front of the usual script, fine as long as you want, but too often replicated.
So here is the usual route, with the usual sidewalk and the usual two manholes without lids that if we end up with your foot inside you make off the ankle (to be optimistic). Here are the usual steep metal staircase style "The Hill", climbing which sooner or later some will feel bad. Here in the hall the usual themed exhibition arranged on the usual stands of 2011. That's the usual flawless available, but canonical, the works, so everything looks but nothing emerges. That's the usual textile creations, certain admirable workmanship and composition, however pleasant, But never imprudent or impudent. Here again, for good measure, the usual (and unexplained) absence of signs in Prague, affixes, leaflets, or even small signs that mention the Meeting.
Ci tengo a precisare che and John Štěrbová (Deus ex machina della mostra) It goes all my admiration, for its artistic figure in primis, but also to be able to manage for so many years this event patchwork. I remain convinced that the person can hold together and put together a group of quilter It can safely be nominated as President General of the United Nations.
Having said that I would have hoped that, in a moment of courage or madness, she decides to get out of the slide rails of the guaranteed success and risked relations and reputation for beating paths still unexplored.
Perhaps the fault is mine alone instead. Too many things I've seen, and too high now I place the bar of my consideration. Sono un po’ like the traveler who has traveled half the world and it is difficult to prove even wonder, So here I confess my guilt, that of being become insatiable and sofistica, in una parola: flawed.
That said, now you tell you something of the exhibition, a show that still should go to see, at least once. Maybe I advise you to go there with more amenities than I did, because I do not know if all the aficionade del patchwork They are able to hold twelve hours to go and come back twelve hours of night bus; maybe I would be able to suggest the most comfortable transfers.

Ci sarebbero il cavallo di Troia, il dipinto di 1040m², l’orologio che va al contrario, the scale model 1:420 the city as it was in 1830, the royal road with negredo, albedo the e rubedo, the Devil's Column, the Faust House, the green front, the tomb of a buried alive, the camel passing through the eye of a needle, the endless column of books, il castello di Adele Bloch-Bauer, the elevator Paternoster, not to mention all the rest you already know, and then give me a good reason, just one, why I should not go to Prague for Patchwork Meeting.
