. 17 The Asclepius of Milos It was made from three pieces, only two of which are extant. Around the head are drill holes and lead pegs for a now missing gold wreath that once crowned the statue. The serene expression on the deity's face is typical of #Hellenistic sculpture from this period. #asclepius #milos #greece #blacascollection #instagram #rodofasclepius (at British Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuRV5SCnTvI/?igshid=aoiegknttyuv

- 29 . I think weaving is the most ancient form of computations, it must have came to human race very naturally, as a latter part of calculation. Throwback to one of favourite exhibition from last year. This exhibition illuminates Anni Albers creative process and engagement with art, architecture and design. The body of work exhibited here was so huge, it took me a complete day to have a look at all, even when I was just running around, from exquisite small-scale ‘pictorial weavings’ to large wall-hangings and the textiles she designed for mass production, as well as her later prints and drawings. #annialbers #annialbersretrospective #weaving #bauhaus #blackmountaincollege #modernart #josephalbers #textiles #spaces #design (at Tate Modern) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0IYOesnjoQ/?igshid=1hfkggxg63pv4

- 34 . Babel (2001) by Cildo Meireles #Babel explores information overload and failed communication. Cildo Meireles refers to Babel as a ‘tower of incomprehension’. Comprising hundreds of radios, each tuned to a different station, the sculpture relates to the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, a tower tall enough to reach the heavens. God was offended by this structure, and caused the builders to speak in different languages. No longer able to understand one another, they became divided and scattered across the earth, and so began all mankind’s conflicts. Babel consists of analogue #radios of varying ages, from large valve radios dating from the 1920s, which make up the bottom tiers of the tower, to the smaller mass-produced electronic radios of more recent years, which form its summit. By using radios of decreasing size from the floor to the ceiling, Meireles enhances the sense of the tower’s height. #cildomeireles #museum #towerofincomprehension #offtune https://www.instagram.com/p/B0sQtiPHvg-/?igshid=11p4ns9ndlx2i

- 33 . George Orwell resigned from the BBC in 1943. "I am tendering my resignation because for some time past I have been conscious that I was wasting my own time and the public money on doing work that produces no result. I believe that in the present political situation the broadcasting of British propaganda to India is an almost hopeless task. Whether these broadcasts should be continued at all is for others to judge, but I myself prefer not to spend my time on them when I could be occupying myself with journalism which does produce some measureable effect. I feel that by going back to the normal work of writing and journalism I could be more useful than I am at present" he wrote in his resignation letter. A statue of George Orwell by the British sculptor Martin Jennings was unveiled in November 2017 outside Broadcasting House, the headquarters of the BBC in London. The wall behind the statue is inscribed with Orwell's words - "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear" #georgeorwell #BBC #martinjennings #statue #hayvanciftligi #1984 (at BBC Broadcasting House) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0logC9HTYd/?igshid=7j2wzoeeitkz

-35 Sea-Roses (Yellow Nirwana) - Monet wrote daily instructions to his gardener, precise designs and layouts for plantings, and invoices for his floral purchases and his collection of botany books. As Monet's wealth grew, his garden evolved. He remained its architect, even after he hired seven gardeners. Monet purchased additional land with a water meadow. In 1893 he began a vast landscaping project which included lily ponds that would become the subjects of his best-known works. White water lilies local to France were planted along with imported cultivars from South America and Egypt, resulting in a range of colours including yellow, blue and white lilies that turned pink with age. In 1899 he began painting the water lilies, first in vertical views with a Japanese bridge as a central feature, and later in the series of large-scale paintings that was to occupy him continuously for the next 20 years of his life. This scenery, with its alternating light and mirror-like reflections, became an integral part of his work. #monet #claudemonet #waterlilies #searoses #yellownirvana #impressionist https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ytbRbHH0B/?igshid=f4e8xiwns37c

~45~ It must be a difficult task to integrate a water body in architectural design. One must understand the nature of water as an element. Think through its all forms, in various stages across all seasons. It's not just a pond, but a complete ecosystem and culture comes with it. Just by looking at this we can imagine all the things that must have been taken into consideration before building this simple pond and the temple complex around it. Understanding the topography, fresh water supply, easy access to people, reserve of water to sustain through summers, outlets to take out extra water in monsoon, connecting it to nearby water sources, safety walls, viewing galleries across the pond etc. #Padmatheertham was supplied with a fresh supply of water from Killi River. #architecture #waterbodies #thiruvananthapuram #travancore #kerala #southernindia #india https://www.instagram.com/p/B1_rKByH2b5/?igshid=1wxcv7pxw0i7w
