Frank … want us to get our head around theme/topic “rest”. My life should be full of it because took my retirement at 61 … today I don’t have a clue how I had time to work before April 2009.
But I’m going outside that box … and share some awesome art with you …. you don’t have to like clowns to enjoy an exhibition like this
I ‘m not a fan of clowns as such … more than the ones that work on hospital wards with sick children, they truly make a difference every day … and of course, the sophisticated ones that come with Cirque du Soleil.

but twice as fast.”

Swizz artist Ugo Rondinone’s exhibition. Vocabulary Of Solitude, at Arken Museum of Modern Art, Ishøj in Denmark – which I visit in May 2018. One of the most amazing art exhibitions I ever been to.

take your pain and play with it!”

“Vocabulary of solitude” is a portrait of a single person’s day represented in 45 acts. They are individually titled in the present tense: be. breathe. sleep. dream. wake. rise. sit. hear. look. think. stand. walk. pee. shower. dress. drink. fart. shit. read. laugh. cook. smell. taste. eat. clean. write. daydream. remember. cry. nap. touch. feel. moan. enjoy. float. love. hope. wish. sing. dance. fall. curse. yawn. undress. lie. 
Each passive clown is a stand-in for one of these actions. Together they form an endless 24-hour loop.
“A clown sees life simply,
without complications.”
George Bishop
I don’t really like clowns but this exhibit seems interesting. And good one for the challenge.
Thank you so much … I like some clowns, but they have to be a bit sophisticated – and I love the clowns that work on hospitals with sick children – what a difference they make (I will add that to my post -THANKS). It was an amazing show.
Yes, that’s true, maybe those horror movies with clowns just kinda stuck in my head. Haha and yes kudos to those helping out in children’s hospitals, they are really doing a great job. Thanks for the comment.
Could … be *laughing … then you’re not going to watch “Joker”??? I don’t watch horror movies, never done … so that is maybe I can expect them. But they can be scary.
No not watching that 🙄
Neither will I *smile
What a wonderful exhibition and very nice photos!
Tatiana, thank you so much … it was a great exhibition … hard to make it justice.
