Be Inspired: The Artist Is Present

a99

Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.

At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, where she shared a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing and this is what happened.

This is her ex-husband and first love… she used to peform with him, soulmate..twin flame kind of bond. They hadn’t spoken for years before this and no one told her that he would be coming into the exhibit or sitting with her.Via zengarage.

Spring & Summer Backyard Style Ideas

I know I have been working on this for a long time now, but I’m almost finished and as spring is here…it’s time to let you see what I came up with! I found this fabulous idea for my backyard. An hanging bed for a relaxing session or do some reading with my little man. Decorating or finding style ideas for your backyard was a bit difficult, because this process requires having special knowledge. Indeed, there are lots of important things to consider to make your backyard attractive, cozy and practical. If you lack experience you should consider hiring a professional landscape designer. Designers know how to improve the appearance of your back yard and make it more attractive. Of course these services may costs a lot, thus if you are pressed for money you should do everything on your own. Check out some of the indoor and outdoor hanging bed styles below.

There are lots of simple ideas you can use for decorating your backyard. The hanging bed is my best way to unwind with my family: swinging on a backyard gigantic bed.
