Marina Abramovic & Ulay - Dramatic and emotional reunion.

During the 70s and 80s performance artist Marina Abramovic engaged in an intense artistic and romantic relationship with fellow performance artist Ulay (Frank Uwe Laysiepen). In 1988 they ended their relationship with a performance art piece in which they met in the middle of the Great Wall of China and said goodbye. They have rarely seen each other since.

In 2010 the MOMA in New York City held a retrospective of the Abramovic’s work. As part of the exhibition, Abramovic sat silently at a table and allowed members of the public to sit across from her. She sat for hours and expressed no emotion - the two people literally just stared at each other. On the opening day of the exhibition, Ulay surprised her with a visit to the The Artist is Present and this is what happened.



Marina Abramovic y Ulay tuvieron una intensa relación amorosa durante los años 70. Cuando vieron que ésta se venía abajo decidieron terminar su relación con una performance en donde ellos recorrían a pie la Muralla China, comenzando cada uno desde un extremo, para encontrarse en el centro, darse un fuerte abrazo y no volverse a ver. Muchos años después ella expuso en el MoMA 'The Artist is Present' (El Artista está Presente), un minuto de silencio mirando a los ojos de quien quisiera sentarse enfrente. El vídeo muestra lo que ocurrió cuando él llegó al museo.

The Ostrich

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?" "I'll have the same," says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will be $9.40 please." The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "A hamburger, fries and a coke." The ostrich says, "I'll have the same." Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change. This becomes routine until the two enter again. "The usual asks the waitress?" "No, this is F...

The 5 Step 'Aha Moment' Process

Immersion – learn, study and practice your domain as much as possible. Incubation – take breaks, have recreational time, find a balance between work and play. ‘Aha Moment’ – a natural by product of first two steps. Deliberation – be honest about your ideas.

Freedom

Once upon a time, there was this little girl; she had blue hair and white eyes. People just called her The Girl. She loved to pour water over a big ants farm. Almost all the ants hated when this happen, except one young ant called Freedom. He loved to ride the waves created by the pouring water of The Girl. All the friends of Freedom told him that this was pretty dangerous, that he was too impulsive and needed to stop doing it before it was too late. The time passed by and Freedom disappeared from the farm. His friends started a search. One day, freedom’s girlfriend went to his favorite place to ride, hoping to find her boy. She saw a old ant sitting down in a rock and asked him if he know something about Freedom. He told her “There was once an ant called Freedom that became unstuck in the world. He took the wind for a map. He took the sky for a clock and set off with no destination. He was never lost.” They never look for him anymore.
