| | | Danica Dakic: Role Taking, Role-Making
Gandy Gallery, Bratislava, CZ Czech Republic 'Role-taking, Role-making' reflects attitudes to cultural role behaviour within a Europe that is being shaped by political change and fierce collisions between differing cultural codes. At the same time, it involves a variety of media - video, film, theatre and photography - at the interface between documentation and performance. The project focuses on 'gipsy images', which are used to probe the possibilities and impossibilities of 'Role-taking - Role-making' within an intercultural context. Role-taking-Role-making encompasses a series of photos, video works and a film. Each part is a separate work in itself, but diverse levels of reflection and the shifting of motifs and actors mean that they are also condensed into a kaleidoscopic synthesis of the arts. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

On that day we were looking for fennel..
Rita Monaco (February 10, 2006)
Piero appeared early in the morning with fresh sardines, so "I will make Pasta con le sarde!" I blurted out. My cousin Silvia was very happy because she had been to my mother house in Sicily and loved the dish. "all we need is fennel" she said. "surely we can find fennel in the fields around here". And so we went Silvia, my daughter Francesca and I, in search of fennel. The countryside around Pisa ( San Martino Ulmiano) is really not fennel country but we were hoping to come across a bush or two in some back garden, a few pots here and there hidden among the geraniums and artichokes. We were looking for wild fennel, the kind that grows everywere in Spring in the south of Italy. That's the kind needed to make pasta with sardines, an ancient dish which includes, apart with sardines and wild fennel, also currants, pine nuts, saffron, onion and anchovies. A dish where oriental spices marry with the flavours of the Mediterranean. And so we went, looking for fennel. We found in th! e place portrayed below and the owner, a nice old lady, told us we could get as much as we wanted and also told us the story of her life, which I don't remember but I know that she was happy to tell and we were happy to listen. Tuscany is not fennel country and that fennel was a bit tough and stringy, but the morning was lovely and we gathered wild flowers on the way back. Rita Monaco Artist Portfolio
