Review

I really think that if God actually exists he must be Catalan and didn't
know that just one hour and twenty minutes away from here there was such an
amazing place as Barcelona!

We (Daniele and I) got there last friday and spent all day hanging around
las ramblas and the area of Barceloneta, just next to the beach. In the
evening met up with our friend Pablo who had just arrived from Madrid and
reached Ana's place (Pablo's girlfriend) where we met her beautiful sister
Cristina.

Saturday afternoon; Daniele and I visiting Gaudė palaces and apartments and
the Sagrada Familia...any comment wouldn't be give justice to this Catalan
genius!!! Whilst walking in the main shopping streets of the city centre and
getting completely dizzy at the sight of two tango dancers performing a
nostalgic milonga...get the news from Pablo that they has reserved a table
in a nice restaurant in Barceloneta and that the group would be further
enriched by the presence of another girl (Cristina's friend) called by the
name of Monica.

8.30 pm: Full of excitement and eager to making the acquaitance of the new
girl who would later join the Catalan banquet, we get to Ana's place and
there she is...Monica...with her silk curly hair hanging down both sides of
her forhead, her intriguous eyes always ready to catch any single movement
around her, her stunning body housed in a smashing dark dress, her
lips...and, least, her way of speaking, quite slowly and with an accent
which is a mix of castellano and catalan..waooooo....!

11.30 pm, At a time when in Italy people are watching silly shows on TV and
in England are crawling back home after another alchoolic night at the local
pub, we get to this restaurant called "El Salero"...nice athmosphere, light
only shading from candles...! At the beginning things are still a bit odd
with all of us trying to find the right way to relate to each other but then
with the help of delicious food and sweet rosado wine we all feel more at
ease.

1.00 am; The decision is "let's go for some cubatas". We slowly move through
the narrow streets of this old barrio, the girls walking a bit ahead and the
three of us commenting and exchanging impressions on what could happen next.
The bar we choose is tipically Spanish and rum and wiskey mixed to coke and
lemonade lead to the complete release of our inhibitions which in fact pave
the way to more intimate, suggestive and allusive conversations.

2.30 am; All of a sudden Ana and Pablo leave, suppose they can make without
our company and the remaining four of us decide to continue our idiliac
exploration (well, at least for Dino and I) of Barcelona night life in some
discos by the old Port. After a long walk during which intimity and carefree
seem to be mounting, we think we're better off taking a taxi. Daniele sits
at the front, Cristina, Monica and I at the back. You see, this is the sort
of chance that only happens once in while, sitting next to an incredibly
gorgiuos girl whom you met just a few hours before...All sorts of thoughts
cross your mind, you find yourself in total confusion and suddenly
everything gets misty and foggy..."shall I secretly reach for her hand or
discretely touch it as if it was by chance?" Well this is the sort of
dilemma I was going through then and without indulging any further, there is
my hand in hers...ehm... "sure, she is gonna politely but firmly pull it
off" I think to myself but...."I can't believe it, we are actually holding
hands, no...I'm not dreaming, I'm well awake and, to my complete desbilief,
this Catalan wonder next to me fancies me holding her hand!!!".

4.15 am; Unfortunately our taxi journey has come to an end, it is time to
get out the car and find a nice place to spend the rest of the night. For
some reason we have silently entered into a mutual agreement whereby we
won't disclose anything to Daniele and Cristina and our hands separate. The
disco we find is ok with a nice little terrace overlooking the sandy beach.
Fueled by more alchool we have great time dancing all together and from time
to time, whenever possible and out of anyone else sight, mine and Monica's
hands get together and I get ever more convinced that God is Catalan or at
least has Catalan origins.

6.00 am; We are all exhausted and lying by the sea sounds the best idea! As
far as I remember, I was 20 when I spent my last night out till dawn...it
must have been during my holidays in Greece, yet 8 years ago!! We keep
holding hands as we also do when, at 8 am, we are heading to the car. To
speak the truth, at this point I don't know whether Daniele and Cristina are
just knowingly pretending not to pay attention to our continous reaching for
each other hands or if we have done so well that they haven't actually
noticed.

2.00 pm; After a four hour sleep I see her again and she is just as
beautiful as ever despite the hangover...there is no time now... she has to
get ready to go back home and we also have to rush if we wanna go for a last
look of the city before taking our plane back to Rome. We have run out of
time and perhaps our night out in Barcelona was just a dream after an
alchoolic night!

chris ofili

Date: 02 July 2002

Review
In the upper floor ofili is showing repeated paintings with slight
variations. repeated paintings linking ideas such as Warhol and what the
market wants, Spanish language, hence a Spanish Caribbean too, i read (i
always felt an incredible lack of communication around the world between the
Hispanic Caribbean -and its Diaspora- and the English speaking one, although
so many features of the culture are common) also ofili maintains his
religious interests and character, for whoever is interested. Great
paintings, in the end, and that is a truth flying far over any meanings and
readings. Downstairs, just the fact of playing with the three
colours -charged of meanings and history- of the beautiful pan African flag
in invite, painting palette and lighting for the party is an excellent move
of painter looking for challenges. New challenges giving future to ofili's
work for who thought he could be joining young British shooting stars
falling -in painting the fall is not as fast, the rise may be fast but soon
slows down- seriality as a challenge, reduction of palette as another one,
and sales levels to be kept up as another one

why chris ofili is  a bad painter

From: rs
Category: Exhibitions
Date: 04 July 2002

Review
1: Because the paintings are ugly like art school overworkThe dung 2: They
are overdecorated objects and have none of the space or freedom of beautiful
paintings. 3: The dung is boring 4: The endless markmaking means that you
are not allowed to enjoy anything but colured in motifs,obvious colour
juxtapositions, and aesthetic overload. Ofili does not trust himself or the
viewer to like painting. 5: Painting is art. Art is painting. Decoration is
for rich people, mosques, and churches. 6: The upstairs paintings are more
ugly than the downsatirs ones becuase of their crass selfimportance. They
might be ok if they are meant to be funny. 7: The paintings are made to a
formula which means they cannot surprise you.
