Jeff Koons at the Beyeler Foundation

The Fondation Beyeler presents, until 02 September, the first exhibition dedicated to Jeff Koons who needs no introduction. It is curated by Theodora Vischer.
The show focuses on three central series of works – The New, Banality and Celebration – which represent crucial stages in Koons’s development and lead to the nucleus of his thinking and creative activity. The New comprises the ready-made-like cleaning appliances of his early period, symbols of newness and purity. Banality includes those traditionally crafted sculptures in porcelain and wood which have since become (post-)modern icons. Finally, in the Celebration series, on which Koons has been working for almost twenty years, appear high-gloss steel sculptures of unique material perfection, and large-format paintings in which the artist celebrates childhood in a veritably baroque way. Koons’s equally spectacular and subtle works are repeatedly concerned with themes such as innocence, beauty, sexuality and happiness. These reflect his conception of an art that is accessible to every viewer.

[ROMANIZATION]
Beautiful… Beautiful…
Mou kimi shika aisenai yo
Kono omoi kesenai yo
Boku dake o mite
Kirai ni sasete kure boku kara deteitte
Isshou omoikiri kidzutsukete mou ii
Nureta kuroi hitomi yawaraka na kuchibiru
Damesa oroka na yubisaki ga hoho ni nobiru yo
Beautiful.. Beautiful…
Mou kimi shika aisenai yo
Atsui omoi kesenai yo boku dake o mite
Beautiful… Beautiful..
Kono inochi ga kieushinasete mou
Ikutsu namida afurete mo dakishimeru darou
Nee kissu tomenai de warawanai de okure
Suki ja oitsukanai yo haritsukesou
Doushitara futari hitotsu ni nareru no ka
Ase wa taiyou dake no sei janai aseru yo
Beautiful… Beautiful…
Mou kimi shika aisenai yo
Mou nanimoka mou eien sa zutto daitette
Beautiful… Beautiful…
Haru mo natsu mou aki mou fuyu mou
Tojikometai kono mune ni Oh zenbu ga hoshii
Ima arata na bouken shite iru you na shougeki
Kimi wo mite motometari toki ni wa shitto
Shite kodomo no nakigoto mou ichido
Ittete kizuita ima made kitto
Daremo kokoro wo toowase nakatta but I say you are my babe
Okubyou na kako wo kaeta kimi no sonzai dake de aruite iku keep on

Kono omoi kesenai yo boku dake o mite
Beautiful… Beautiful…
Kono inochi ga kieushinasete mou
Ikutsu namida afurete mou dakishimeru darou
[ENG TRANSLATION]
Beautiful… Beautiful…
I just can’t love you anymore
Our memory is hard to be forgotten
Just look at me
Let me hate you, get out of me
My whole life is torn apart and hurt
Your dark eyes and soft lips are wet
I grew on a painting and silly drawings
Beautiful Beautiful mou kimi shika aisenai yo
Atsui omoi kesenai yo boku dake o mite
Beautiful… Beautiful…
This life is about to disappear allowing me to die
Even some tears that flow will also embrace
Even some tears flow to embrace
I can’t keep it up
How I do to make up two different people
Not only because of the sun I will sweat and fade
Beautiful… Beautiful…
I just can’t love you anymore
There’s nothing that lasts forever
Beautiful… Beautiful…
Spring, summer, fall, and winter
My heart is trapped Oh I need a way out
This has been a new shocking experience of love
You tried to find a fake story out of jealousy
The children once are whining
How far you said it for sure
I can no longer bear this story in my heart but I say you are my babe
Cowardly I change the past of your presence, I will go walk keep on
Colorful life, you are no longer sparkling wildly in time any more
The life you have made is unforgettable and we gonna make it you know
thank you, love you, for me it’s you
Why I can’t only love you, if you don’t know yet, because I will wait until you feel it
Until you feel me
I love you… I love you…
I just can’t love you anymore…
I think this story I look for is unforgettable
Beautiful.. Beautiful…
This life is about to disappear allowing me to die
Even some tears that flow will also embrace

Artist Jeremy Deller selected to represent Great Britain at 2013 Venice Biennale
I was recently reporting on the interesting and fun artwork of Jeremy Deller at the Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts (http://tinyurl.com/6tsxuoy ) and guess what? He's so good that he's been selected to represent Great Britain at the 55th Venice Biennale which will take place next year.
He will present a solo exhibition in the British Pavilion, which will run from June to November 2013. Born in London in 1966, Deller is an artist of a different stripe from most of his contemporaries. Often working in collaboration with others (among them artists, makers, musicians and other members of the public), he brings together elements from traditional and contemporary culture to create new types of work: films, installations, performances and events which are often humorous, but which don't seek to satirise the people or subjects involved. His works display an engagement with all sorts of communities that exist in today's society, and whose interests are brought to our attention by Deller with wit and clarity.
Well done !

This is an interesting video, the way Google knows to do, to promote the internet giant's project. I really liked it so I thought I would share it with you.
Hope you like it.

English Translation
I’m finally able to let go
From kind of long entangled feelings
Within love there’s no such thing as betrayal or betraying
I’m tired of betrayal so I decide to leave
I still could bear it
Even regretting this romance
A part of my heart is folding
At least I find the answer for my life
Disappointment and difficulties are arranged intentionally
To see how capable my hopes are
Don’t afraid of failure, you’re unbeatable
Pain will get you understand the worthy of love
Even if you fail believe that your love is unbeatable
I am loving to understand why I am exist
Wo oh oh oh oh wo ohwo oh oh oh
Forever, waiting for true love
Wo oh oh oh oh wo oh wo oh oh oh
Love is a trouble like a chocolate makes people give it up constantly
Sweet trace of bitter emotion is how I give my heart to not be hurt
I’ll never give up on love tend to last even I lost feeling to get along
Even feeling to get separated we have to hold on
Wo oh oh oh oh wo oh wo oh oh oh
Forever, waiting for the true love for me
Oh oh oh oh wo oh wo oh oh oh
Forever, my true love
