Il Premio Grammy o Grammy Award è uno dei premi più importanti degli Stati Uniti, per i risultati conseguiti nel settore della musica. È generalmente considerato come l’equivalente dei premi Oscar nel mondo del cinema. La 59ª edizione dei Grammy Awards si è svolta il 12 febbraio 2017 allo Staples Center di Los Angeles, in California. Le nomination sono state rese note il 6 dicembre 2016. L’artista che ne ha ricevuto il maggior numero è Beyoncé, con 9 nomination . Il più grande vincitore della serata è Adele, con 5 premi. Perfettamente chic pone l’attenzione sugli outfit dei protagonisti, e non, dei Grammy Awards in quanto faranno tendenza, come per gli outfit dei Golden Globe, per la prossima stagione di moda… idea in più per essere fashionable e trendy.

Joy Villa and her Trump Dress: Liberals Go Full Haters

Joy Villa and her Trump Dress: Liberals Go Full Haters

Until last night, few people had ever heard of Joy Villa. But when she arrived at the Grammy Awards ceremony last night, the liberals pulled the lever on a full-on hatefest. Why? She was wearing a “Make America Great Again” Trump dress created by gay designer Andre Soriano. #JoyVilla stole the show at the #Grammys #MAGA #MakeAmericaPatrioticAgain #USMCNation #GrammyAwards…

Reading the Image: Jose Joya’s Church Silver

Church Silver

1960

Oil on canvas

178cm x 222cm

Gift of Col. Andres Soriano

Church Silver is one of the paintings housed in the Ateneo Art Gallery in the Arete. Before it was in the Arete, my father had actually seen it when he was a student in the 80s in the Old Rizal Library. The painting is the work of Jose Joya, a painter awarded as a National Artist for the Visual Arts back in 2003. Other works of his included in the Ateneo Art Gallery are Granadean Arabesque, The Visayans, and Summer in Detroit.

Jose Joya was born on June 3, 1931 and began sketching at the age of eleven. His introduction to art was Fernando Amorsolo’s work, which started his study of art. Initially learning the works of Amorsolo and Guillermo Tolentino, he gradually became influenced by American abstract work. He graduated with a Fine Arts degree from the University of the Philippines, and continued his studies in Madrid and Michigan. Throughout his career, he became involved in the Philippine Art Gallery, served as president of the Art Association of the Philippines, and as Dean of the UP College of Fine Arts wherein he modernized the curriculum.

Jose Joya’s works are known as abstract pieces inspired by bits of Filipino culture. He is known as one of the pioneers of abstract expressionism in the Philippines. What I’ve noticed from his other works are that oftentimes, they will seem as subject-less and spontaneous, only for subjects to appear once a deeper analysis and bigger picture is seen. Other works of Joya’s are described as vibrant. Church Silver in particular seems duller.

In the work Church Silver, Joya makes use of colors of blue, gray, black, and a little brown. It seems like a bunch of squares and random shapes made with solid color, but a closer look will show the colors outlined with a faint gray and black. These outlines provide the colors with a humanesque shape. The darker colors are more emphasized towards the left of center of the painting, while the outlines remain faint. It creates a crowded and disorderly look. The strong and vibrant colors in the middle give the human figures a clearer shape. The corners are more of a negative space and given less emphasis. When putting the different elements together and looking at the bigger picture, it seems that these humanesque shapes are seen to form an image of a crowd at Church.

Despite it initially seeming crowded and disorderly, the crowd seems to be facing the upper right corner of the painting. Straight diagonal lines sloping down are seen if the upper right corner is seen as the direction the crowd is facing. In churches and cathedrals, seats are arranged in pews in straight lines. I suppose the altar of the church would be located in that upper right direction.

Lines are thicker and more weighted in the area where solid color is darkest, which puts emphasis on the people in that specific area. The painting is pretty consistent in structure except for the color gradient.

A lot of my analysis of the painting comes from being a Catholic who regularly attends Church to celebrate mass . It would be difficult to see the image being presented by Joya if not for my experience of being a person sitting in one of the pews of Church.

It is difficult to find specific meanings to this painting after researching the context of Joya’s time, especially in 1960 when the painting was made. Judging from the title, silver is usually known for being second to gold, and the people in Church are a reminder for us as a community that we are second to God. Another perspective that could be made is the use of silver in the Bible as a symbol of betrayal by Judas to Jesus, meaning it could be corrupt and evil. The Church has faced numerous accusations in history of “profiting” from Churchgoers.

Another meaning that could be obtained especially from the color grading which is most apparent, is that not everyone who attends Church has a clear meaning as to why they attend Church. Their relationship with the Church is either fully formed and clear, seen in the left of center area with darker colors; or vivid and in progress, which is somewhat seen in the unfinished look to the painting and the lighter tones around the darker areas. Either way, it still provides a sense of harmony and community, which is something relatable to Churchgoers.

The painting’s providence in the Ateneo Art Gallery comes from Colonel Andres Soriano, a war hero from the Filipino-American war and a businessman with San Miguel Corporation. While it is stated what year the work was made, the year in which Soriano obtained the work and provided to the Ateneo is unclear. Soriano was a student at the Ateneo de Manila before moving on to serve in MacArthur’s troops. Perhaps he had benefited from the Ateneo in his education so much that he would like to contribute the painting to the Art Gallery. The Ateneo is a Catholic school, after all.

Overall, the painting is a familiar view to those who attend Church. It seems a bit hazy because of the faint parts of the work, showing an unclear presence to it, which is something I personally relate to as a Catholic struggling with my faith as well as paying attention in Church. However, it creates harmony and unity amidst the different colors, shapes, and darkness and clarity of color. It is not representational with clear images of humans, but the disorderly and abstractness of it all creates a mood that the personal spirituality can relate to.

If worldwide attention is what she sought, attention is what she got. Singer Joy Villa hit the Grammy’s Red carpet and unveiled and ode to President Donald Trump in a dress reading “Make America Great Again”

Did you know who Joy Villa was prior to February 12, 2017? most will answer “no”, neither did I. Yet her dress and name has made headlines and she has a new flock of fans. Since her red carpet appearance her EP “I Make The Static” is climbing iTunes and Amazon charts. Put it like this, her 2014 EP has surpassed Lady Gaga’s in less than 24 hours!

Photo: @JoyVilla

Being that she was a relatively unheard of singer Joy had nothing to loose and a lot to gain for supporting Trump in this manner. Unlike singers like Chrisette Michele who received a lot of backlash for signing at his inauguration. Chrisette sat down with Pix 11 news this morning and revealed that although she sang at the inauguration she did not vote for Trump nor does she necessarily agree with his rhetoric, thus she thinks because we live in the same country we got to get together somehow.

Joy Villa’s dress was designed by Andre Soriano and this is what Joy told Fox news:

“I am 100 percent a Trump supporter. I believe in his message, I believe he will run this country like he runs his life, successfully,”. I stand as a proud American and I stand for a unified America that is tolerant of each other no matter who we voted for. I stand behind our President because that’s the American thing to do. I believe in love, above all.

Not one to be a conformist Joy has been rocking outlandish pieces to the Grammy’s for a while check out these looks from the past:

DWCS Season Finale Primer

Joey

August 25th, 2019

Dusko Todorovic vs Teddy Ash Middleweight

Dusko Todorovic 8-0, 25 years old From Serbia Secutor MMA

Fun Factoids:

-Dusko Todorovic already comes into the DWCS with plenty of quality wins on his resume. He has a win over funky Brazilian UFC fighter Michel Pereira (up a weight class for Pereira), DWCS fighter Alexander Poppek (up a weight class for Todorovic), Pride veteran Kazuo Takahashi and then undefeated fighter Toni Merkulev. -Dusko is looking to become the second European born fighter to win a contract on the DWCS. The first one was Croatian fighter and Stipe Miocic training partner Aleksa Camur. -6 of Dusko's 8 wins have been recorded (one fight has no listed methodology for the result) first round stoppages.

Teddy Ash 14-4, 29 years old From Canada Shaved Bears MMA (Home of Tanner Boser)

Fun Factoids:

-Teddy Ash's record is equally loaded with names you'd know. He went 1-1 with former UFC veteran Dominique Steele, has a win over former UFC veteran Seth Baczynski, a win over DWCS veteran Cameron Olson, a loss to UFC signee (released due to PEDs) Adam Hunter AND a win over Bellator vet Viktor Valiamaki.He was also at one point scheduled to go back up to 205 lbs to fight Matt Hammil this year but THANKFULLY that fight fell through. -Teddy Ash has been a pro since 2013 and is an ALASKA FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP veteran. -Since "What do fighters do when they're not fighting?" is always of interest to some people, Teddy Ash works as a welder in the Syncrude Aurora mine.

Kailan Hill vs Impa Kasanganay Middleweights

Kailan Hill 5-0, 24 years old From California, By way of Puerto Rico Blackhouse MMA (Home to Lyoto Machida, Anderson Silva, Pedro Munhoz, Mackenzie Dern)

Fun Factoids:

-Kailan Hill has spent 4 of his 5 pro fights fighting in the LFA cage with stoppage in 3 of those 4 fights. -Hill comes into this fight with a decision win over Jhonoven Pati; Pati's pro losses prior to that? Ryan Spann (in the UFC) and Punahele Soriano (now in the UFC). His other high profile was WW Adam Fuggit, 4-1 with his sole loss coming to Bellator vet Austin Vanderford. -Hill owns two of LFA's most impressive finishes; one by step up knee into a right cross vs Adam Fuggit and the other a spinning backfist KO over 4-1 Andre Walker.

Impa Kasanganay 5-0, 25 years old From North Carolina Gym-O (Home to Scott Holtzman, Bryan Barberena and Justine Kish)

Fun Factoids:

-Impa DEBUTED in 2019. He has less than a full year's worth of experience as a pro even if he has three years of amateur experience. Madness. -Despite his relative lack of experience, Impa has appeared almost entirely for brand name MMA orgs. He's fought twice for Island Fights, once for KOTC and once for LFA. His most accomplished opponent is 4-3 (now 4-4) Devorious Tubbs. -Impa Kasangnay played college football at the university of Western Carolina as a reserve linebacker.

Sang Hoon Yoo vs Peter Barrett Welterweights

Sang Hoon Yoo 5-0, 29 years old From South Korea Busan Team MAD (Home of See Heo Ham, Dongi Yang, Stun Gun Kim and Doo Ho Choi)

Fun Factoids:

-Sang Hoon Yoo's record is truly perplexing. His first official fight on record is against a 15-6 Vitor Toffanlelli. He followed that up by fighting not a single person over .500 from that point on. -Hoon Yoo's fights has made lightweight before but two of his last three fights have been at a 165 lb catchweight so keep an eye on that as it pertains to a fighter making or not making weight. -Yoo is looking to become the first Korean fighter to win a DWCS contract.

Peter Barrett 10-3, 33 years old From Boston Team Sityodong (Home of Kenny Florian, Rob Font, Saul Almeida), Lauzon MMA (Home of Calvin Kattar, Rob Font )

Fun Factoids:

His last win was over longtime MMA veteran Jay Ellis who boasts a rugged 17-75 (!) record. -Barrett was scheduled to compete on a Bellator card in 2018 but his opponent popped for PEDs and the fight was nixed. He never got another opportunity with the organization. -Peter Barrett works as a bartender outside of fighting.

Ben Sosoli vs Dustin Joynson HEAVYWEIGHTS BIG BOI WEIGHT

Ben Sosoli 7-2, 25 years old From Australia Resilience Training Centre

Fun Factoids:

Dustin Joynson 5-0, Age Unknown From Canada Zugec Ultimate MMA (Home to Sarah Kauffman and Ryan Janes)

Fun Factoids:

-Joynson debuted in 2014 and then took three years off, in large part due to the fact that they couldn't find him a fight.
