June 06 Mythic Imagination Institute - Mythic Passages, the Magazine of ImaginationImagination is the root of empathy, innovation, problem solving, art, and science. Our way toward imagination cultivates the ground from which it springs: the observation and understanding of nature and human nature. This understanding exists universally in myths, folktales, sacred stories, and wisdom stories. It exists within the structure of story itself. It speaks through the images within the stories. Mythic Imagination Institute - Mythic Passages, the Magazine of Imagination May 31 BBC NEWS | UK Magazine | Bowing to a higher authorityBowing to a higher authority - Clive James ..... the minimal definition of democracy that was devised in New Zealand by the exiled philosopher Karl Popper during Word War II still holds: it's a democracy if the government can be changed at the people's whim. The French writer Albert Camus added a valuable nuance when he said that democracy was the form of society devised and maintained by those who know they don't know everything.

April 25 BBC NEWS | Programmes | From Our Own Correspondent | From 'palazzo' to pastures newAs correspondent David Willey leaves his apartment in the 1,000-roomed palazzo in the centre of Rome where he has lived and worked for the past two decades, he reflects on the microcosm of daily life in one of the few remaining privately-owned homes of the former Roman and papal nobility.
David Willey has been the BBC's Rome correspondent since 1971 I have been privileged to spend almost a third of my life in this Roman palace. Now the moment has come to move out of the palazzo, I am realising how attached I have grown to my princely, yet alas now sadly polluted, urban surroundings, which I have chosen to exchange for the cleaner air of the countryside.

BBC NEWS | Programmes | From Our Own Correspondent | From 'palazzo' to pastures new March 28 G20 protesters go on the marchThe stream of thousands of people marching through London to protest ahead of the forthcoming G20 summit was an unusual beast. Although there were pockets of noise, and chanting, live brass bands and booming sounds played over loudspeakers, the mood was often a little subdued. But individually people were islands of anger, disappointment and concern over the global economy, the conduct of bankers, governments and financiers. By the sheer scale of things, it was clear that the dismay felt by many in society by what has been dubbed either the "credit crunch" or "economic downturn" has upset enough to make them come and pace the streets of the capital. Among the thousands who turned up was Milton McKenzie, 73, from Essex. He said he was on the march because of "the injustices that happen in the world" ....
March 14 Daria Martin: Minotaur :: NewMuseum.orgMinotaur is a new 16 mm film created by Daria Martin depicting a duet choreographed by the legendary dance and movement pioneer Anna Halprin based on the 1886 sculpture Minotaur by sculptor Auguste Rodin. Martin has carefully edited the film to juxtapose the movements of the two dancers with close-up views of Rodin's sculpture, images of the sculpture in a book, views of the wooded exterior of Halprin’s Northern California studio where the dance takes place, and shots of Halprin herself. In doing so, she creates a complex and multilayered synthesis of various art forms—film, dance, and sculpture—while simultaneously meditating on the process through which art is made, and the shifting sexual dynamics between men and women as embodied in both the sculpture and Halprin's performative re-imagination of it. NEW COMMISSIONSDaria Martin: Minotaur :: NewMuseum.org March 07 Giant Horse in Kent UKCosting £2m, Mark Wallinger’s giant white horse is approximately 164ft (50m) tall - twice as big as its counterpart, the Angel of the North, which was designed by Antony Gormley and completed in 1998. According to Sandra Soder, the secretary of the Gravesend Historical Society, Wallinger's horse has aroused diverse local opinion, with the loudest voice coming from those most opposed, but the general feeling is that the promoters had deemed the people of north Kent "too culturally inept" to have a deciding view on the form Britain's biggest work of art should take. In the words of one Northfleet man, nobody had asked whether or not "they wanted to wake up every morning looking into a giant horse's arse".
