...o olho que olha a aranha, a aranha que espreita os homens, os homens que correm em labirintos de ferro, o ferro que faz a cor, a cor que pinta o olho...

Hey Foam!

yes I think it is Louise Bourgeois's spider maman and some installation of Dominique Gonzales-Foerster.

"TH.2058 by Dominique Gonzales-Foerster
OCTOBER 2058 - TATE MODERN - LONDON
It rains incessantly in London – not a day, not an hour without rain, a deluge that has now lasted for years and changed the way people travel, their clothes, leisure activities, imagination and desires. They dream about infinitely dry deserts.

This continual watering has had a strange effect on urban sculptures. As well as erosion and rust, they have started to grow like giant, thirsty tropical plants, to become even more monumental. In order to hold this organic growth in check, it has been decided to store them in the Turbine Hall, surrounded by hundreds of bunks that shelter – day and night – refugees from the rain.

A giant screen shows a strange film, which seems to be as much experimental cinema as science fiction. Fragments of Solaris, Fahrenheit 451 and Planet of the Apes are mixed with more abstract sequences such as Johanna Vaude's L'Oeil Sauvage but also images from Chris Marker's La Jetée. Could this possibly be the last film?

On the beds are books saved from the damp and treated to prevent the pages going mouldy and disintegrating. On every bunk there is at least one book, such as JG Ballard's The Drowned World, Jeff Noon's Vurt, Philip K Dick's The Man in the High Castle, but also Jorge Luis Borges's Ficciones and Roberto Bolaño's 2666.

On one of the beds, hidden among the giant sculptures, a lonely radio plays what sounds like distressed 1958 bossa nova. The mass bedding, the books, images, works of art and music produce a strange effect reminiscent of a Jean-Luc Godard film, a culture of quotation in a context of catastrophe.

In the shelter, the prone figures are reminiscent of Henry Moore's 'shelter drawings', while his sculpture for sheep stands next to a giant apple core by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. Museums have been closed for years because of water seepages and the high level of humidity. In the huge collective shelter that the Turbine Hall has become, a fantastical and heterogeneous montage develops, including sculpture, literature, music, cinema, sleeping figures and drops of rain."

Dear Me! I've never seen that Spider before and it's amazingness is only matched by it's awesome giant red metal brother standing next to it.

The eye and the skeleton freak me out :) Cool!

The itsy, bitsy spider, climbed up the water spout. / Down came the rain and washed the spider out. / Out came the sun and dried up all the rain, / So the itsy, bitsy spider went up the spout again.

Essa não é "itsy bitsy", mas é, definitivamente, uma "spider" impressionante...

beijo*
