Disastrous sale sends Sotheby's shares falling by 37% in one day Ed Pilkington in New York Friday November 9, 2007 The Guardian Photograph: AP The auction house Sotheby's suffered an almost 40% slump in its share price yesterday in the wake of a disappointing sale of Impressionist and modern art, prompting speculation that the art market bubble is starting to burst. After 11 years of steep growth in the value of fine art, the drop in Sotheby's stock by about 37% in the course of one day sounded alarm bells. Analysts were particularly struck by the fact that Vincent van Gogh's landscape, Wheat Fields, possibly his last finished work, painted in 1890 two weeks before he committed suicide, was left unsold; Sotheby's had valued it at up to $35m (£17.5m).

Medieval Lives - Host Terry Jones

Famous for lampooning the medieval world in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Terry Jones has a real passion for and detailed knowledge of the Middle Ages. In Terry Jones' Medieval Lives, his mission is to rescue the Middle Ages from moth-eaten cliches and well-worn platitudes. Behind the stereotypes of "damsels in distress" and "knights in shining armor," there are wonderfully human stories that bring the period to life. Terry will start with the medieval archetypes—the Knight, Peasant, Damsel, Monk, Outlaw, King, Merchant, and Physician—and in the course of unravelling their role and function will introduce a host of colorful real-life characters, recreating their world by visiting key locations.

PETER ELLIOT NAKED

I am almost finished the basic structure for my new traditionally oriented Gorilla Men website and spent some time today working on a few remaining bios. Most of my attention is usually focused on gorilla men of old but I was stunned by a video clip that I came across in my web travels this afternoon. Performer Peter Elliot has spent over twenty years acting in gorilla suits and also choreographing simian appearances on film. His first major film GREYSTOKE may not be the greatest Tarzan outing but it was distinguished by incredible costuming by Rick Baker. Peter had not appeared on screen a la ape previous to his audition but he made such an impression that he was given the lead role in assembling the ape man's troop. According to his site, the films' production was postponed to allow him time to engage in research and development. I thought it sounded somewhat pretentious but the video below eliminated any doubt that he must have impressed studio execs. The clip originates from footage shot by a English Visual Arts post-grad student Tiago Carneiro da Cunha who entitled it Low Attention Span / High Curiosity Rate (portrait of Peter Elliot). The film maker explains on her blog that the title "refers to how Elliot defines his 'state of perception' while performing."
Elliot's nuanced performance is disturbing in that it quickly convinces you that you are watching a Mountain Gorilla, not a short British man with hand stilts. Bloody good stuff - proof a true gorilla man needs no suit. I recently caught the film BUDDY where he plays the titular role opposite Rene Russo. Another exceptional role for this Brit and reason enough to seek out his other films.

Assassinos no poder

Ação de grupos de extermínio dá lucro à contravenção e favorece a ascensão de políticos ligados ao crime na Baixada Fluminense

José Cláudio Souza Alves

A Baixada Fluminense é um imenso campo de concentração sem arame farpado. Ali, 2.500 pessoas são assassinadas por ano, à razão de cinco a seis por dia. A média – 76 assassinatos por 100 mil habitantes – é bem superior ao número de homicídios (50 por 100 mil habitantes) que caracteriza, conforme os padrões da ONU, regiões conflagradas pela guerra. A Baixada se situa a oeste da cidade do Rio de Janeiro e é formada por oito municípios: Duque de Caxias, Belford Roxo, Mesquita, São João de Meriti, Nilópolis, Nova Iguaçu, Queimados e Japeri. Sua população tem sofrido, de forma crônica, com a violência desmedida, sem esperança de que a matança chegue um dia ao fim. (cont)
