When I saw first time these fantastic Calatrava’s creations, my imagination immediately transformed these buildings into the helmets of two gigantic knights hiding under water and guarding this beautiful city – Valencia… It was not twilight time but it was dark atmosphere around and I called them The Twilight Knights… After that I saw them many times by different conditions but my first impression was the strongest… Actually the names of these two buildings are El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía and L’ Hemisfèric… / In 1989, the president of the Valencian Generality, Joan Lerma, assumed the idea of José María López Piñero, professor of history of the science of the University of Valencia, to build a scientific museum in the lands of the Garden of the Turia river that bordered the road with the mulberry trees. Lerma entrusted the creation of a team that articulated the project and that visited spaces of similar characteristics in Munich, Canada and London to devise a project of evident pedagogical appearance: an atom would serve of guide to the visitor to show him all the facets of the nature. / In May of 1991, the council approved the transfer of lands; four months later presented the project designed by Santiago Calatrava and at the end of that year gave the green light to the constitution of a public business, who served as the constructors of the bridge. The projects were initiated by the end of 1994. The team that had designed the museum did not see eye to eye with the form in which Santiago Calatrava conceived the building. Therefore, a couple changes were made. In April of 1998 the complex opened its doors to the public with L’ Hemisfèric. Eleven months later, the president Eduardo Zaplana inaugurated the Museum of the Sciences Prince Felipe, although the works were not finished. The museum was opened to the public twenty months later. December 12, 2002, was the opening of L’ Oceanographic, the largest aquarium built in Europe. And October 8, 2005 the El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía was opened, but it lost its initial condition of headquarters of the Valencian film Library to be become the opera house of Valencia. All complex of many buildings and bridges named The City of the Arts and the Sciences (in Valencian: Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències). It’s a cultural, architectural complex of entertainment for the city of Valencia and probably is the best architectural creation of our time.

“Wee Willie Winkie on Xmas Eve” / oil on canvas – 6”x8” / animal art My version of Wee Willie Winkie with his Teddy on Xmas eve. Did you know the origin of the Wee Willie Winkie? / The explanation of the words to Wee Willie Winkie was to teach children to associate every day tasks with their own lives. Before the days of the wireless, television and the Internet great reliance was put upon the Town Crier to pass on the latest news and information. ‘Wee Willie Winkie’ was the children’s version of the Town Crier! The author of the poem was William Miller (1810 – 1872) and the first publication date of the words to Wee Willie Winkie was in 1841. / /
Through the chain link fence… RedBubble Art Feature – “Buyers Club”
Location: Houston, Texas
the in-between is a place where you showcase your break from the tradition and work in the spaces in the middle. we welcome work that is artistically “in-between” (realism vs. abstration, photo vs. drawing, collage vs painting, etc) to that which is conceptually in-between (reality vs. dream, science vs. religion, living vs. dead, etc).
show us how you walk the middle-road.
we want to see your works that are not 100% of one genre and ones with some concrete and creative concept showing evidently.. no straight portraits (painting or photo)... no straight landscapes… no straight still life… they need to be altered if they are photos… not quite this or quite that and a bit of this and a bit of that…
please limit uploads to no more that 2 per day.
we will also accept writing but please do not add journals.
thanks!
in-between is just one of 1710 creative groups powered by RedBubble.
RedBubble is the place to share your creative genius with the world through art, photography, design and writing.
