Franco Brambilla – “Insomnia” & “Un Piccolo Dubbio” (Artwork)

“Insomnia”

Insomnia

Non sogno mai nessuno.
Eccetto Te.
Vorrei sognare di più,
vorrei sognare di meno.

Poem by Simonetta Roncaglia

“Un Piccolo Dubbio”

“Un Piccolo Dubbio” means “Little Doubt”

“Un Piccolo Dubbio”

Amore o luna park? Non lo so dire.
A giostra ferma rimane qualcosa?
Non faccio nessun calcolo affrettato.
Sento puzza di zucchero filato.

Poem by Simonetta Roncaglia

FAT speaks with Kehinde Wiley

Beautiful Dreamer // Kehinde Wiley from Arcade44.tv on Vimeo.

You have to love the wonderful culture clash that is NYC. On any weeknight, it’s a veritable collision course of mediums, personalities and styles. This was the energy FAT discovered when he visited the Deitch Projects opening of PUMA and artist Kehinde Wiley’s new collaboration. The Legends of Unity portraits celebrate three of the superstars of African football who will all be wearing PUMA’s Unity Kit at the 2010 World Cup. The gallery also hosted the short film Of the Same Earth, depicting the making of the portraits.

With his trusty Flip in tow, FAT ran down to the SoHo gallery on the afternoon before the opening and spoke to Wiley about the project that seamlessly melds the worlds of sports, art, and fashion. As the Deitch crew finished last-minute preparations, Wiley revealed the personal side of a project that celebrates the über-event that is the World Cup. “You’ll see the global industrial trade of sports, marketing, dreams, desires,” promised Wiley, “but you’ll also see the engagement of art.”

Having already hit Berlin, London, and Paris, Legends of Unity had a 3-day stint at Deitch Projects, and is en route to Beijing and Milan. The exhibition concludes in South Africa in June for World Cup.

International Warrant for Lingerie Model who was moving it like Rappers…say they are…

On the run, the lingerie model who heads an all-women cocaine-smuggling cartel
By Mail Foreign Service

A lingerie model is believed to be the mastermind behind an all-women drug gang that smuggles cocaine into Britain.

An international arrest warrant has been issued for Angie Sanselmente Valencia, 30, who is said to only hire glamour models to transport the drugs from South America to Europe.

It’s believed that Colombian-born Valencia had been seeing a Mexican drug lord known as ‘The Monster’ but split with him at the end of last year to form her own cocaine-smuggling gang.

Wanted: Angie Sanselmente Valencia, who was crowned Colombia’s ‘Queen Of Coffee’ in 2000, left modelling and moved to Argentina late last year to establish her drugs network



She is said to describe the women working for her as ‘unsuspicious, beautiful angels’. The women are told to be ‘nice, but not flashy’.

Valencia, who was crowned Colombia’s ‘Queen Of Coffee’ in 2000, left modelling and moved to Argentina late last year to establish her network.

Her ‘angels’ were paid £3,200 for each trip they made and one of her gang is believed to have boarded a flight every 24 hours with the packages of cocaine.

From Argentina they would fly up to the Mexican Caribbean resort of Cancun and from there they would smuggle them into Europe.

However her network began to unravel several weeks ago when one of her ‘drug mules’ was caught at Argentina’s Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires carrying 55kg of cocaine.

The 21-year-old woman began to talk and within 12 hours police investigators had arrested a further three people.

The drug mule had made no attempt to hide the cocaine in her suitcase because she’d been told no one would stop her at the airport, according to Argentine newspaper La Nacion.

Police are now investigating the gang’s links to people working at the airport.

Following the arrests Valencia promptly disappeared from a four-star hotel in Buenos Aires but is still believed to be in the South American country.

She’d arrived from Mexico last December with her beloved pet Pomeranian dog. Investigators tried to trace her through the address to which the animal was registered but it only led them to an abandoned warehouse.

Thanks Ye ! Way to get back in the line up ! I look forward to the creativity on display at his site. I’m glad he is using his name, instead of kanyeuniversecity. I think it’s best to use his name/domain to add a sense of personal connection with the fans. Makes you forget about the ghost blogging issues and stuff that doesn’t really matter, it’s just about spreading creativity.
