I always wanted to make myself a better person,
because I was not educated.
But that was my dream – to have class.

I visited CAC Málaga * Centro de Arte Contemporáneo
on the last day they had Vik Muniz‘s art there…
It was a very inspiring exhibition!
You find CAC Málaga in Calle Alemania
“Vicente José de Oliveira Muniz, known as Vik Muniz born 1961,
São Paulo, Brazil, is a visual artist living in New York City and Rio de Janeiro.
Muniz specializes in remaking famous artworks with materials other than paint, and then photographing them.”
Double Mona Lisa made of peanut butter and jelly, 1999
and here’s a detail of that huge work…
Got the idea what the work is about…
Now two detail first – of ripped magazines…
If you google Gustave Caillebotte you’ll find the model for this work…
I recognized original Richter’s work which I saw in Berlin….
Muniz’s work is done of those pieces of paper…
Hay dos maneras de vivir su vida: una como si nada es un milagro,
la otra es como si todo es un milagro.

For me it’s still autumn here in Málaga, not as cold as in Finland but not summer warm either…
When the sun is smiling it’s really nice and warm – if the wind is not too hard…
My future home. You are all welcome for a (short) visit!
