Rêv’en pages fête la Sant Jordi
Depuis le Moyen Âge, cette offrande de la rose a été perpétuée, surtout en terre catalane. Le mouvement littéraire de la Renaissance, pendant la deuxième moitié du xixe siècle, fait de Sant Jordi le symbole de l’identité catalane. En 1926, l’écrivain et éditeur espagnol Vicent Clavel i Andrés, directeur d’Editorial Cervantes, proposa aux libraires barcelonais d’instituer une fête pour soutenir et diffuser les livres. La date retenue fut d’abord le 7 octobre, avant d’être modifiée au 23 avril, afin de rendre hommage à l’écrivain le plus célèbre du pays, inhumé le 23 avril 1616, Miguel de Cervantes. Peu à peu, il est également devenu courant d’offrir également des livres à ses proches ce jour-là.
À l’occasion de la journée mondiale du livre et du droit d’auteur, 450 libraires indépendants de France et de Belgique francophone créeront une fois de plus l’événement le samedi 27 avril prochain. En réinterprétant librement la tradition catalane de la Sant Jordi, ils offriront ce jour-là à leurs clients un livre spécialement édité pour l’occasion.
Qu’on se le lise !

RED HOOK ? NEW YORK ? read this email sent by KENTLER INTERNATIONAL DRAWING SPACE Robert Aitchison STATE OF EMERGENCY: PORTRAITS FROM THE PANDEMIC November 6 - December 12, 2021 Join us for the Opening Reception: Saturday, November 6, 4-6pm Artist's Talk: December 5, 4pm (Proof of Vaccine & Masks Required, observing pandemic precautions) Kentler International Drawing Space is pleased to present State of Emergency: Portraits from the Pandemic, a solo exhibition of new work on paper by Brooklyn-based artist Robert Aitchison. This body of work explores complex notions of presence, engagement and isolation in the era of Covid.

His subjects are jarringly foregrounded and many present with duplicate or askew facial features. These distortions mirror the glitchy, interrupted and delayed experienc...
