It's an exhibition to see and to listen to the one that from January 14 to February 3, 2012, the Palazzo Reale in Palermo, the Sicilian Parliament building, dedicates to BIOS Vincent, a young artist from Trapani, who lives and works between China and Italy. "The wall sounds", curated by Martina Cavallarin, is BIOS first solo show in Palermo, expected return in his homeland after the recent artistic experiences in China, in Boston and Berlin.
The exhibition is under the patronage of the Sicilian District, the Sicilian Regional Assembly and the Fondazione Federico II, and promoted by Sicilian Association Promotion, with the contribution of Galleria Affiche Milan and Galleria 71 Palermo. Sponsored by URSA Italy SrL.
THE EXHIBITION
BIOS builds for Palazzo Reale a most unusual path, which runs from the lower floor, where the visitors are greeted by video with the artist's performative acts, to the central hall on the upper floor, where a labyrinthine installation consisting of more than 40 works envelops the visitors in large coils of matter by strong colors that take over and lead to the great wall entirely covered by a work of considerable emotional dimensions.
Facing the panels sprinkled with cement, perforated by bullets of various calibers, Magnum, sinkers, Lupara, and the wall installations with numbers, words, letters, signs violated by a specific and targeted use of firearms, the visitors are carried away by the echo of an invisible firearm shot, of answers ever given, of unexpected gifts, a disillusioned hope or an erased memory.
BIOS looks at the world from the hole inflicted by bullets on its surfaces and its art looks like self-taught, but rather is borrowed from a unique cultural journey from ancient manuscripts such as graphics or medieval literature, engravings, sacred art and an imaginary visionary - says exhibition curator Martina Cavallarin.
BIOS has a personal research that investigates the social dimension focusing on topics such as abortion, ecology, oppression, violence, physical and mental barriers through an art that uses performance - in which the hunters shoot virtually on its prey, a metaphor for excellence, or in which the artist portrays the "Pinocchio" and simulated crucifixions - and wall installations, paintings that becomes sculptures welcoming color, scarification, objects surrounded by numbers like logo - as the 194, a figure that evokes the number of abortion law in Italy - or words, letters written.
"Those of Vincent's are the walls of life, telling the story of men who have lived - writes the architect Michele Premoli Silva who designed the exhibition - Walls that, like those of houses in places of combat or conflict, marked by bursts of bullets that have carved their alphabet, remembering that broken lives. BIOS has chosen to tell the life of the world through the wall".
Accompanies the exhibition a prestigious catalog published by Fondazione Federico II Editore in three languages - Italian | English | Chinese - with critical essays by Martina Cavallarin | Micol Di Veroli | Michele Premoli Silva

Story by Allen Silver Media Glitz,Ohio November 22, 2011
Atlanta's urban music producer Lord Hector Diono announces the online debut of his now international clothing line iCON® . Hector, who's real name is Lord Michael Chambers Rosenthorn published the site Friday November 19,2011. After reviewing the clothing line it's safe to say the articles of clothing and design would best be described as classic, chic and truly iconic. Hector was quick to mention that the line was designed to give everyday people a garment that would announce to their prospective communities a new mind state and self awareness that would set off both a national and international trend associated with their new found inner greatness.
The mission statement says it all, and I have to say this, I was taken back a bit when I discovered it while browsing the site, it read [Quote] “iCON® is not just a social status in today's society, but a state of mind. This wardrobe is designed for the go getter, from the greatest celebrities to the single parent that refuses to give up. We believe that any person that contributes to their own self recognized inner greatness is iconic and sets forth a trend for the rest of the world to follow.”
I liked the site and the clothing. I was mostly impressed with the fact that it's not just another T-Shirt shop for his home boys but an actual clothing line that even my girlfriend was able to purchase her first iCON pair of underwear. Lord Hector Diono was defined in the urban dictionary by the associated press in the United Kingdom, London as a Renaissance man, well that just might be as true a statement as it gets. Hector is also an underground rap singer who's music career happens to be managed by Def Jam Universal A&R veteran Michael Goldie Greaux, who also works with Nas, Rihanna,Travis Trent and a host of other artists in the music business. Hector has over 50 independent records released world wide through his independent music production company Dark Town Licensing, a subsidiary to his music label Dark Town Music Group with his most recent record release by island Def Jam Digital Music being an LP entitled “Scarecrow” (The Final Chapter). Hector's camp announced that he also has his own Android smart phone app and free to download.
From where I sit it looks to me as if the moves Lord Hector Diono is making allows for any parent to proud and any friend to be encouraged, I my self used to rap but I work behind a desk for a media company now, but Hector's mission statement on his site help me recognized that I don't have to drive a Rolls Royce to be considered by my peers to be iconic.Story by Allen Silver Media Glitz,OhioStory by Allen Silver Media Glitz,Ohio November 22, 2011
