Temple of Aesculapius

Temple of Aesculapius by Antonio and Mario Asprucci, 1792
Villa Borghese gardens
Rome, May 2019

“The Temple of Aesculapius located in the gardens of the Villa Borghese, in Rome, was built in the ionic style between 1785 and 1792 by Antonio Asprucci and his son Mario Asprucci, with help from Cristoforo Unterperger. The temple was perhaps built in memory of the destroyed ancient temple to the god of Medicine on the Tiber Island. The temple houses a statue of Aesculapius, believed to be originally from the Mausoleum of Augustus. Neglected over the centuries, it was restored by Vincenzo Pacetti and sold to Marcantonio Borghese IV in 1785.” (Temple of Aesculapius, Wikipedia)

Avenida de Brasília
Santa Maria de Belém
Lisbon, April 2019

“Discover one of the most futuristic and remarkable buildings in Lisbon. Facing the river, the Champalimaud Foundation is a Centre of Research into the Unknown. Discover one of the most futuristic and remarkable buildings in Lisbon, facing right onto the Tagus. Between the nationalistic tradition of the Torre de Belém and the symbol of seafaring toil that is the Doca de Pedrouços you’ll find the Champalimaud Foundation. Also known as the Centre of Research into the Unknown, the building is as innovative and important as the biomedical research performed inside. You can visit the gardens and open-air amphitheatre, sit in the magnificent Darwin’s café and appreciate the view as countless scientists and researchers work on neurosciences and cancer research. The building, designed by the architect Charles Correa, seeks to raise architecture to the level of sculpture, sculpture to the level of beauty and beauty to the level of therapy – in order to honour the centre’s work.” (Champalimaud Foundation, Turismo de Lisboa)

‘air gets into everything even nothing & get up girl a sun is running the world’
By Ugo Rondinone, 2007
Battery Place
New York, September 2007

“If you happen to be walking in Battery Park City over the next few months, you might be surprised to see two leafless white trees that look like they were plucked from the enchanted forest in the ‘Wizard of Oz’ and plopped down in Lower Manhattan. Don't be scared, they aren't evil anthropomorphized trees, but rather a new project by Ugo Rondinone, called ‘air gets into everything even nothing & get up girl a sun is running the world,’ presented by Creative Time. Rondinone picked two 2,000-year-old fruit-bearing olive trees in a field near the town where his parents were born and cast them on-site in rubber. Then the 17-foot trees were cast in aluminum; each weighs almost a ton (that is a lot of cans). This project continues the artist's fascination with trees and forests. The placement the trees in an urban setting deals with his preoccupation with ‘themes of time and displacement, and the relationship between natural and artificial environments.’ I can't wait to see how they blend in with the snow, if it ever gets warm enough to snow.” (Ugo Rondinone, Cool Hunting)
