Casi Desnudo de Federico Patán

-



Today I received this book... I was very happy because this is the first time that a writer has chosen one of my paintings for his book. OK, some of my paintings have already appeared in a literature book, in fact they appeared in "Percorsi Labirintici" an Italian book of poetry, but this is the first time that I appear on a cover :)
Welcome April!

Enhorabuena por la portada, Odette. El cuadro me lo guardo en la retina. Subyugante.

Stein,

:))))


Fmesmenota,

Y creerás que cuando fuí a recoger los libros a la UNAM ví un poster enorme de María Zambrano? Y al preguntar por ella, me regalaron un libro que se llama "Lo Sagrado en el pensamiento de María Zambrano"!

Felicitaciones Odette! Debe ser indescriptible la sensación de ver tu propio trabajo en la tapa de un libreo. Bellísima esa pintura, tienes un estilo propio, algo así como tu sello. Besos

De Lirium,

Oh sí es una sensación grande que te llena... de por sí las librerias son de mis lugares favoritos, y ver una imágen mia en un libro ... no sé no hay palabras.

Darth,
It is a novel, and the author is Federico Patán, I was told he is a very good writer, he has won the Xavier Villaurrutia Prize. I haven't read his novel yet...but later I will tell you...

Felicidades Odette! sí, entiendo l oque dices, yo también creo que estar en un libro es algo especial, como un encuentro mágico entre dos tipos de obras muy diferentes y que se enriquecen mutuamente, (a mi los libros me encantan como objetos, me gusta vivir entre ellos, tocarlos, abrirlos...)
la portada está preciosa y tu dibujo es imporesionante,

ese cuerpo casi-desnudo efectivamente, porque está recubierto por una especie de sangre, venas, de trama colorista y aguada,

bastante espectacular, muy buen criterio del editor, bravo!

Pizarr,
Concuerdo contigo...son como las jugueterías para los niños...nos engolosinamos, cierto?

El objeto a,
Sí estoy encantada, era uno de mis sueños, aparecer en un libro y la pintura también me dió ese regalo!
V, anoche soñé contigo...curioso, no?

Michel Rojkind and Victor Legorreta at the RA

This weekend I went twice to the Royal Academy of Arts to the talks of Mexican Architects.  The first talk on Saturday was by architect Michel Rojkind. It was amazing, I liked very much the friendly and social approach to all of his projects, they are quite innovative and he thinks of people.  He is an excellent story teller and all the public was captured by his talk. He is a people person, and he reflects that in his architecture... the project that impact me the most was the on-site extension of la Cineteca Nacional. I loved this place since I was very young and used to live in Satélite; as I am a film lover remember driving every weekend there. Later I was lucky enough to live in Coyoacan so I travelled there by bike.  I was very impressed by the fact that Rojkind's project involves the whole area of the Cineteca, he includes the Archives in his plan and leaves the old Cineteca building untouched, giving tribute to the history of this old buildi...

A leap of faith

  13 years ago I took a leap of faith and came with my family to London.  I thought it was going to be easy. It was not. I thought that because during my youth I lived in another country, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. That other country was Germany, and since then I longed for Europe, well I confess I still do… because you should know, England is not Europe. Of course this is my very personal view. I was born in Mexico City, a vibrant and chaotic city. Mexico is a surreal beautiful country. When you are abroad you worth it even more. You might wondered then, why did we decide to leave Mexico?  Well, we decided to leave Mexico because my country was becoming very insecure. It was during president Calderon’s failed drug war. Mexico was so violent that we decided to migrate for the sake of our family.  I have been very lucky to be able to travel a lot during my lifetime. When I was a kid, I was two months in China. It was the China of Mao ...
