where the wild things are

Enquanto espero pela estreia do “Where the wild things are“, resolvi procurar uma curta de animação de 1973 acerca do mesmo livro. Acabei por encontrar algumas coisas engraçadas.

While waiting for the premiere of the movie “where the wild things are“, I went looking for an 1973 animation movie, based on the same book. In the end, I’ve found out some interesting stuff.

Hoje fui dar uma vista de olhos no novo museu de Design e Moda na Baixa de Lisboa, o MUDE e admito que não fiquei particularmente convencido com o que vi.


A exposição no r/c não surpreende, até porque algumas peças já tinham sido vistas no CCB, e o espaço também não é particularmente generoso.
No 1º andar a exposição actual acerca de posters políticos é bastante interessante e vem mesmo a propósito deste ano eleitoral. Faz pensar nos cartazes que já vimos este ano para as eleições europeias. Nenhum dos partidos quer ser de esquerda ou de direita, e o resultado são cartazes genéricos o suficiente para abranger toda a gente.


“Voltando” ao museu, estou curioso para ver qual o caminho que vai tomar. Espero que não se transforme num museu apenas para turistas e que pelo menos as exposições temporárias sejam interessantes.

Today I’ve visited the new Design and Fashion Musem in Lisbon’s downtown. The museum is called MUDE wich also means “change” in portuguese. The museum is still in construction but they decided to present the exhibitions anyway, wich gives the museum a cool suburban look, although you’re in the middle of a 18th century area.


They seem to have a permanent exhibition with important design pieces on the ground floor. The exhibition is not particularly brilliant, but has some interesting objects.


On the first floor there’s a very interesting temporary exhibition about political posters, from Lenine to Obama, from Che Guevara to Salazar, Berlusconi, Reagan… that makes you think, where did all the creativity go? Even in the Obama campaign, as you can see here.


Looking forward to see it finished.

I really don’t get this. Seat is using this Shepard Fairey’s Obama poster style, in their new campaign for Seat Leon, in Portugal, with Tiago Monteiro. Ok, the resemblances are obvious, and almost everybody knows the poster, so they can’t be trying to fool anyone, right? But what’s the point? Where’s the connection?
On the website there’s a punchline saying “Só para eleitos” (meaning: only for the elected/chosen ones), but… come on… and it’s only on the website. Nothing on the outdoors. I don’t get it. Was it done on the Obamicon?
As it wasn’t enough all the fuss about the copyright of the original poster.
