Welcome to English in my Lunchbox 2017 blog
Here I will post some of the material we use in our lessons. And like in any blog, you are all welcome to comment (in English of course!).
English in my Lunchbox was conceived as a space to refresh, polish and learn English at school, while we grab a snack or lunch in between lessons or work. It's been going on for many years now...Can't actually remember how many...

ResponderBorrarOF COURSE YOU DID IT! BECAUSE YOU ARE AMAZING
ResponderBorrari want to share with all of you my visit at Mamba and my impressions of i saw there.
ResponderBorrarLast week , I visited The Museum of Modern art of Bs As (MAMBA) where I saw the most amazing and sttrange Conceptual exhibition in many years It belongs to Tomas Saraceno. Tomas Saraceno is an Argentine architect, originally from Tucuman province that is now living and working in Berlin. The artist presents an installation project with the result of hundred spiders work.
The first time I go to know these artist was in 90s, when I visited the private museum of Conceptual art of Verjez family . In this amazing museum I saw one of the first installations he made:” A lamp attached to the corner of a simple table and near the top of the lamp a nail floating above, only attached to a thread at the opposite end of the table. The nail was maintained by the attraction of the magnet inside the top of the lamp.”
This simple work was the beginning of the search where the energy and the idea of floating things was always present in following works . He performed a series where the public participation is the main idea, with “ Hughes habitable plastic structures” where visitors climb the soft structures and look around the world from above. His performances, under the architecture influence understand art as a “whole”. He includes multi- disciplinary areas in his research like engineering, biology, physics, and institutions. The current exhibition in MAMBA is called “ How to entangle the universe in a spider web” and the NASA helped him with his investigations. He has been working in this project for over 10 years and researched the relationship between Macro and Micro Universe. He imagines the connection between galaxies, planets in the universe and spider webs. For this reason he began to explore the spider world, traveled to collect different species of spiders around the world.
For this exhibition he collected seven thousand (7000) spiders from twenty five different species from Santiago del Estero and Corrientes province. These spices of spiders live in big colonies and work collaboratively, sleep next to each other, weave and sometimes share their prey. The spiders were working inside the museum during the last six months before the exhibition. Saraceno is interested in studying spiders’ community habits and lifestyle.
There are two spiders’ installations at the museum. The big one is the final result of the beautiful webs spiders that was working in community.
Another installation is called “The comic dust spider web orchestra” and has only one enormous spider in his web sitting at one end of the room. At the other side of the room there’s a large scale projection ( increased more than four thousand times ) of the dust floating in the room, that represents another micro universe. The most incredible is the magnified sounds that represent the collision and movement of the floating dust.
Saraceno explore the natural elements and how they transform and at the same time invites you to experiment the creation of a new artistic universe
