WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS – OR AT LEAST SHE WILL

I think 2023 may be the year the art world falls madly in love with. Paris. I understand! How can you not be seduced by the City of Lights, with all its magnificent architecture, its rich cuisine and, operationally, its very richer art collectors. If the surrounding energy Paris+ this year was an indicator, I’d say gay Paree is now THE happening place. Fresh paint can confirm this, because the wheels are now in motion for many new Yorkthe most faithful pillars to cross the pond.

This is certainly the case for Anton Kernthe director Brigitte Mulholland. “I can’t count the number of times someone asked me when I was going to open a gallery in Paris,” she told me on the phone from an ultra-chic restaurant. +33 Postal code. After nearly two decades working in New York, she has officially moved and will open her own gallery in New York. Swamp This April. “People know how much I love Paris! Everyone saw this coming for me and it stuck with me.

Mulholland said she will slowly roll out her roster of artists over the course of the year as she transitions out of her position at Kern. Wet Paint can confirm that artists whose solo exhibitions it has already planned next fall include Ryan Wilde And Sarah Dwyerand that she will kick off her programming with two back-to-back group shows with some heavy hitters in the mix, including Julie Curtiss, Hamish Chapman, Liz Glaessner, Andrew Sim, Sean FaderAnd Jessica Stoller. “It’s going to be full,” she said of her approach to her list. “I will work with emerging artists, established artists.”

So, did Mulholland’s choice come from enthusiasm for Paris or boredom in New York? Seems like it’s a bit of both. In his own words: “I’ve lived in New York for about 17 years and I feel like I’ve done everything I wanted to there. Paris has always called me. It was something I thought I could never do, then suddenly I realized I could!

Personally, I completely identify with being a Francophile and look forward to the day when I can write my gossip column. Freiche painting from my pied-à-terre with a Serge Gainsbourg disc playing softly in the background. Until then, I look forward to seeing the gallery scene heat up as well as global collector interest in reinvigorating the city as an art destination. Mulholland’s space is on the Rue de Turennewhich sits in a hub alongside other galleries such as David Zwirner,

I also admire Mulholland for her awareness that an American Girl in Paris must pay her dues before becoming a full-fledged Parisienne. “ My goal is that I want give something in Paris, I don’t want to bring it back,” she said. “I love this place, I love the culture. I want to contribute and contribute to the gallery scene here.

Formidable!

PRESENTING THE WET PAINT WTF AWARD FOR WEIRDEST PR BLAST

Behold: A peak inside the Academy of Contemporary Art’s inaugural gala and awards ceremony. Photo courtesy of BFA.

Last week I introduced my beloved readers to the most photographed art world socialite of the year, a completely official award that went to the charming and frustratingly photogenic gallerist. Hannah Traore. However, calculating who went furthest where was not the only research I conducted, and this week I would like to inaugurate another official and important distinction: the WTF Wet Paint Price for the most mind-blowing PR blast I’ve received this year.

For the record, I estimate that I receive between twenty and thirty art-related press releases per working day, which, if you do that math, means that I travel 8,000 of these things sent to my inbox this year (which actually seems a little small? But I assure you that’s not how I feel when I sit down to pick my way through the thickets at the machete). The one that stopped me in my tracks actually happened this month:

“ A Peak Inside The Academy of Contemporary Art Inaugural Gala and Awards Ceremony,” read the subject line, which is the most remarkably vague name for a gala I’ve ever seen, complete with a winking namesake typo. eyes and you might miss it. to launch it. what would I tell you The Academy of Contemporary Art it is, but their website is just a link to an info@ email address and nothing else. Anyway, the prestigious academy threw a party at Miami this year at Paris Theaterand judging by the B.F.A. Picturesit was a kind of Oscarsstyle event for some quite random members of the art world.

According to their press release, the founder and producer of the event Grégoire Vogelsang said the following: “This evening, we celebrate the creation of the Academy of Contemporary Art. We will pay tribute to the artists. We’ll celebrate the professionals working behind the scenes in contemporary art, including curators, art restorers, lighting, design, installation and more. All these professionals who contribute to the evolution of contemporary art.

I know not everyone is a writer by trade, but I would put a lot of money on this speech being generated by AI. Anyway, according to the press release, the awards will be annual, so I will prepare my speech for next year. I would like to thank the Academy!

Why there was a music festival two kilometers from the most conflictive border in the world: Gaza


For weeks, Israeli electronic music fans eagerly awaited the Supernova trance festival, which was taking place in the Negev desert in southern Israel, approximately 5 km from the Gaza border. It just so happened that it coincided with the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, so the anticipation and desire to party were at its highest: “The time has come when the whole family is about to get together again. It’s going to be a lot of fun,” the organizers wrote on the networks before the event.

Nobody imagined then the nightmare which was going to take place at the concert venue.

A few hours later, those optimistic posters on networks became a message board of people trying to find their missing loved ones, after Palestinian militants stormed the festival by surprise and opened fire on attendees. According to the Zaka rescue agency, they have recovered more than 260 corpses of the place.

Tribe of Nova (that’s what the festival is called), had three stages, a camping area and a bar and food area. It was near Kibbutz Re’imm, next to the Gaza Strip, from where Hamas fighters crossed at dawn to launch their attack, they infiltrated in small towns and took dozens of people hostage.

The question that many people are asking right now is the same: why would an event like this be held so few kilometers from the most conflictive border in the world. But the truth is that the choice of location was coincidental. According to the organizer, the festival was going to be held elsewhere but for organizational reasons they decided move it two days before the massacre.

In fact, attendee Adam Barel told Haaretz that everyone at the rave had some concern that it was the case that missiles were fired in the area, but that armed Palestinians arrived and shot them at point-blank range, no one expected it.

The first sign that something was wrong was when a siren sounded at dawn warning of missiles. A voice boomed from the speakers above the stages and the rest area: “Guys, we have a red alert,” he warned. Some witnesses saw several rockets and then heard gunshots. “They cut off the electricity and suddenly, out of nowhere, they came in, opening fire in all directions,” said one on Israel’s Channel 12.

At least 50 terrorists broke into the area in vans, dressed in military uniforms and then the images that we have seen repeatedly on social networks occurred: dozens of people trying to flee, running through the sand of the desert, getting into cars to escape or crawling on all fours to take cover as best they could from the gunshots.

Those attending this electronics rave had been asked not to bring anything that could cause any type of damage, of course (sharp objects, weapons, glass bottles). Not only were they tired and helplessbut they were trapped in an area in the middle of the desert, open countryside and offering little to no hiding place.

“Normal” in the Gaza Strip

As we said before, the attendees had not known the exact location of the festival until a few hours before before it started. “The event will take place in a powerful natural location full of trees, impressive in its beauty and organized for your convenience, approximately an hour and a quarter south of Tel Aviv,” those who had already purchased tickets were told.

In this region, an area of ​​land of barely 360 square kilometers, live no less than two million people, making it one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Almost every day you can hear the noise of airplanes and, if not that, the sirens harmonize the atmosphere. The United Nations Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) defines the place as “uninhabitable.” Others describe life there as similar to being in an open-air prison, or even worse.

Not only are there high concentrations of poverty and extreme overcrowding, but the region is experiencing a state of continuous pseudo-war, with border controls everywhere and chained states of alarm. However, on the Israeli side, this type of permanent “alert” allows people to live their lives relatively calmly despite the missiles.

And the decision to move the festival had been made because life on both sides of the Gaza Strip border had begun to return to normal in May after an Egyptian-brokered truce ended several days of attacks. between Israel and Hamas, in which 34 Palestinians and an Israeli woman died.

In fact, Israel had reopened its commercial and merchandise border crossings, allowing the supply of fuel to the blocked area. Shops and public offices had also reopened their doors and people were walking again through the streets that had been deserted for weeks.

Both sides confirmed the ceasefire but gave different versions of the conditions, including whether Israel would stop attacking key Palestinian militants. A senior jihadist official who negotiated the truce said in a statement that the group was willing to stop missile launches in exchange for Israel agreeing to stop attack homes of civilians and militiamen. “We are committed to the calm agreement as long as the enemy complies with it,” he said.

However, Israel denied that it had committed to this and simply said that it would not fire as long as there was no threat. For the Israeli forces they had “successfully concluded five days of fighting against the terrorist group.” They did not mention the truce at any time.

LoL: this is how the income of skins around the world is…


Many fans look forward to world skins every year to celebrate their favorite players. But how do these players benefit from your purchase? We’ll take a look!

Many players buy the world skin every year in hopes of supporting their favorite players, or just because they are generally really awesome.

LoL: How does global skin revenue work?

X/Twitter user Kevin Kim shared some information on this topic.

How Worlds skin revenue is distributed:

“(Share) 25% of revenue earned from skin sales in the launch year of each set of Team Championship skins directly with the players who inspired them, their team and their league (because it takes a village to make a champion). » pic.twitter.com/FSF5rzuG1U

– Kevin Kim (@KevinKim0_0) November 27, 2023

25% of revenue generated from skin sales during the launch year of each set of Team Championship skins is donated to the players who inspired them. Plus, the money goes to the entire team and the entire league.

Riot started doing this in 2017, but also paid the teams that won Season 6. There’s no information on how much money players make after this initial release year ends, but we assume that it is 0.

Kevin Kim bases his information on a Riot Games article from 7 years ago which should still be accurate. He talks about LoL Esports as a whole and its future. This provides valuable insight into how Riot has planned to shape esports in the past.

Recently, T1 won the world championship and only some of their players confirmed their chosen skin. What would you like to see?

Translation and lyrics of the song Piyala from AIGEL, which is tearing up the world Apple Music charts. What is it about?

In the wake of the popularity of the acclaimed series “The Boy’s Word. Blood on the asphalt,” a track by the group AIGEL – Pyala, which plays in almost every episode, literally breaks the world charts.

Right now the song is number one on the list of the most streamed tracks on Apple Music and number two on the Spotify global chart (UPD: the track was in this position last weekend). That is, poems in the Tatar language accompanied by trance music are heard in the headphones of millions of people around the world, and this is great. This is true multiculturalism.

The more interesting is the history of the track, and most importantly, the translation. After all, few people know what Aigel Gaisina sings about, and in general, how is the word “Pyala” translated into Russian?

But now I’ll tell you.

The track was recorded for another project, but never made it into it

Duet AIGEL: Aigel Gaisina and Ilya Baramia.

The duet of electronic musician Ilya Baramia and poetess Aigel Gaisina released this song in the Tatar language back in 2020, as part of the soundtrack to a completely different series.

Surely you even know him – at one time “Swamp”, filmed by director Vladimir Mirzoev from a script by Dmitry Glukhovsky, did well at the domestic box office thanks to its plot with a strong admixture of mysticism.

Pyyala was supposed to play in this series.

So for this series, the AIGEL group recorded a strange-sounding track that could fit perfectly into that project.

But the creators of the series abandoned the song and the musicians released the song as a simple single.

As a result, the track was moderately popular, but did not gain much fame. In addition, the group had a much more famous “banger” called Tatarin, released back in 2017.

A mixture of Russian and Tatar recitative plus an atmospheric video reached a large number of listeners far beyond the borders of Tatarstan. The video currently has over 108 million views.

And in 2023, Pyala’s track ends up in Zhora Kryzhovnikov’s project and becomes the main song in the saga about the boys of the late 80s. Moreover, it is an unofficial song, because neither the performer nor the title of the track is indicated in the credits of the series.

Perhaps that’s why “Pyyala” rose to the top of the streaming services: people simply “shazam” the track, and the algorithms of Spotify and other services register these requests and raise the song to the charts.

Nevertheless, the song is mega-popular, people sing the words, but most have no idea what the song “Pyala” is about or even how the word itself is translated from Tatar.

Well, here is the full translation of the AIGEL track:

What is Pyala and what is this song about?

Pyyala means “glass” in Tatar. The song is about a girl who is disappointed in her lover. He breaks the glass of love, looking straight into her eyes.

In fact, the chorus phrases “eye to eye” and “hand to hand” are repeated countless times and are the main lyrics of the track. And there is only one verse in the song, it is simply repeated twice.

AIGEL – Pyala in the original language:

Mahәbbәt piyalasyn
atasyn – karasyn
Chyn bәkhet piyalasyn
bәrәsen, vatasyn,
Kuzdә kүz (2 times)

kүzә kүz (4 times)
kulda kul (4 times)
kүzә kүz (4 times)
kulda kul (4 times)
kүzә kүz (25 times)

Translation of the song AIGEL – Pyala:

(Verse)

You throw glass of love – let him look
You break the glass of true happiness, breaking it into fragments
Eye to eye, eye to eye, eye to eye, the world is ashamed of my eyes
Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand, glass shard in hand

(Chorus)

Eye to eye, eye to eye, eye to eye, eye to eye
Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand
Eye to eye, eye to eye, eye to eye, eye to eye
Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand

This simple text, sung in the Tatar language, conquers the world charts. Today it’s Shazam’s turn – Piyala is in first place in the world chart.

The track is truly atmospheric, and the series in which “Pyala” plays is excellent. Be sure to check it out.

We have already watched all the episodes released to date and are looking forward to the remaining ones. It will be very interesting how the creators will end the story.

To the point: I watched the hype series “The Boy’s Word.” Roskomnadzor has already become interested in him, but for what?

World of Tanks: The tanks are now rolling on PS5 and Xbox Series X / S

  • World of Tanks is now also playable on the next-gen consoles
  • This brings optimized graphics and faster loading times into play
  • Comparative screenshots show improved textures on the PS5 and Xbox Series X / S

As Wargaming confirms, the free online action game World of Tanks Console is now also available for the PS5 and the Xbox Series X / S thanks to backward compatibility. The version for the two new platforms is now available for free download.

The game does not have any major new features on the next-gen devices, but it runs at least faster and nicer, in better resolution, with higher frame rates and faster loading times. The action game now also manages 4K with 60fps and how the MMO looks optically on the new consoles, compared to before, you can see here in two screenshots:

At the next-gen, this first impression shows at least more detailed textures, especially with regard to the plants in the area, and more realistic contrasts of light and shadow, especially on the metal of the vehicle. If you change the game platform in World of Tanks, your own achievements and purchases will also move.

World of Tanks is team-based online multiplayer action with a focus on tank combat – as the name might suggest. You can compete against each other 15 against 15 in the huge, rolling machines. In addition to the next-gen, you can also play World of Tanks Console on PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One and Xbox One X.

A somewhat unusual season is currently running in World of Tanks, which includes a somewhat weird crossover with Hot Wheels. Also in the “normal” World of Tanks, the PC version, the 3rd season is currently running again and that until December 8th, 2020 – with a corresponding Battle Pass.

Order World of Tanks from Amazon
