#WeekendArtMarketplace

Here is the latest and greatest version of the Weekend Art Marketplace circle. It's about time to share this again with 19 people joining the last weekend alone. (And 2 people who's behavior is a bit on the spammy side and are not included here). This includes all those sharing in the regular #WeekendArtMarketplace and those joining the Weekend Art Marketplace community.

More shares of this circle will bring greater visibility to all artists involved. Please consider sharing!

I'm sharing you!

Here are the RULES

1– Go to your best shot in the lightbox and copy the link in the address bar and put it in the comments here. if the link you've gathered ends in "posts" it will go directly to your profile stream, NOT the image and I won't be able to share your best shot. I won'tspe... more »

Welcome to the Weekend Art Marketplace 2.0

This weekend, there's a new addition to the Weekend Art Marketplace. The Weekend Art Marketplace community. Find it here... https://plus.google.com/communities/108576140930670449434

If you find change confusing, here's a reminder that the Weekend Art Marketplace works exactly as it did before. The new additions and changes will hopefully push the marketplace forward to become bigger and better.

Now, not all ideas will work. I'm not sure yet how the community will fit into the larger picture for the Weekend Art Marketplace. But if we don't try new things, we remain standing still. And if we stand still, we risk falling behind.

For example, we're clearly attracting attention with the Weekend Art Marketplace as it stands. And we're attracting a wider G+ audiencebeyond sel... more »

Their Instruments May Be Garbage, but the Music Will Bring Tears to Your Eyes

Close your eyes and listen to Juan Manuel Chavez launch into the Prelude of Bach's Cello Suite No. 1, and you would never guess that, instead of spruce and maple, his instrument is crafted from an old oil can, a beef tenderizing tool, and a discarded pasta making device—all of it scavenged from the landfill that surrounds his home in Paraguay.

Chavez is a cellist in the Landfill Harmonic Orchestra in Cateura, an Asunción slum where bottle caps, door keys, and paint cans have been given new purpose. Under the supervision of local musician Favio Chávez, these utterly impoverished kids make beautiful music on instruments constructed almost entirely out of materials reclaimed from the dump.

Filmmaker and Asunción native Alejandra Nash first heard about the phenomenon back in 2009, anddeci... more »

The Human Side of Russian Dashboard Cameras

Many Russian cars are outfitted with dashboard cameras to protect drivers against insurance fraud. These cameras have caught all sorts of crazy happenings -- car accidents, low-flying jets, insurance scam attempts, meteors, and plane crashes -- leading many to believe that Russia is a place where crazy shit pretty much happens constantly.

But Russia's dash cams have also captured many more tender moments -- people hopping out of their cars to help old ladies across the street, looking after little kids who wandered into the street, pushing cars out of snowbanks, etc.

In the Shadow of Chernobyl

On the 27th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster...

I guess you could say that I've been living in the shadow of Chernobyl for the last 8 years, since its about 110 km or bit over 70 miles from Kiev. Before moving here, I spent a good deal of time pondering the question “is living this close to Chernobyl a good idea”? I pondered this question even though there have been more than 2 million people living within the this 110 km radius every day for the last 27 years. In the end, I decided that I would join the 2.8 million people that call Kiev home.

But while I was figuratively “in the shadow of Chernobyl,” I had not literally been “in the shadow of Chernobyl.” That changed last year with a 2 day visit to the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

I opted for a two-day visit instead of the usual one day because the one-day visitto me seem ... more »

The Pool at Pripyat - by Matt Shalvatis

Pripyat was built from the ground up as a Soviet "model city," and as such had attractions and amenities that many cities it's size just did not have. This indoor recreation center was one such amenity.

Prometheus at Chernobyl - by Matt Shalvatis

In the Western classical tradition, Prometheus became a figure who represented human striving, particularly the quest for scientific knowledge, and the risk of overreaching or unintended consequences. In particular, he was regarded in the Romantic era as embodying the lone genius whose efforts to improve human existence could also result in tragedy: Mary Shelley, for instance, gave The Modern Prometheus as the subtitle to her novel Frankenstein (1818). - - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus

The "Russian Woodpecker"

The Chernobyl area has other sites of interest besides the Chernobyl reactor and the abandoned city of Pripyat. The Chernobyl region was also host to a sophisticated over-the-horizon radar system, part of Soviet anti-ballistic missile defense systems. This system was known under various monikers: Chernobyl 2 (not to be confused with the Chernobyl #2 reactor), Duga-3, the Russian Woodpecker, and the Steel Yard.
