Art in a Can
A blogging site based in Madrid, Spain is calling on artists to use discarded drinking cans to create mini-masterpieces.
The site encourages artists to "Use the can as a blank canvas, express yourself on it, and send it to us. Just follow the specification: Keep the “easy open” for hanging it. The perimeter of the can is the limit. Do not use filled cans, it must be crushed."
Any individual or any group from anywhere in the world can be part of the project. The painted cans will be placed in a digital gallery on paintingcans.com and sold, displayed in a show in Madrid, and also published in a book.
The project is to support the use of mediums such as aluminum cans which are only limited to the brief time of their consumption and then not used again, and to encourage independent art. Whether its green, innovative, or just art; it is different.

Il calcio si impone anche sul sesso. Le ottime prestazioni e la conquista della finale di Euro 2008 da parte della nazionale spagnola, ha giocato un brutto scherzo agli organizzatori del Festival del Cinema Erotico (Ficeb) che si è chiuso all'alba di lunedì a Madrid. «Il calcio è una delle poche cose con le quali il sesso non può competere», ha riconosciuto Juli Simòn, direttore del Ficeb, al momento di tracciare un bilancio del festival con un deludente numero di visitatori, appena 15.000.

tens of thousands of Spanish truck drivers went on strike to protest high fuel pri...
Nearly half of the gasoline stations in the northern province of Catalonia were out of fuel Tuesday morning, and the regional government sent an emergency convoy of 20 trucks to replenish their tanks.
Three automotive plants - one each operated by Nissan, Mercedes Benz and SEAT - said they were suspending operations because of a lack of spare parts. Vendors warned of shortages in fruit, vegetables and meat at the sprawling wholesale market in Madrid - Mercamadrid - if the strike continued.
Around major cities Tuesday, traffic continued to crawl behind the so-called "snail protests" of slow-moving trucks.
Television news reports showed ships in the Balearic Islands marooned in port for lack of fuel and cargo. In the northern province of Galicia and southern ports of Andalucía, the truckers' strike, coupled with a fishing strike, left docks and fish stalls barren. Wholesale markets were surrounded by protesters. And shoppers were hoarding staples.
So far the administration of Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has offered a package of measures to ease the impact of higher fuel prices on small businesses, including lower social security contributions and subsidies of €55 million, or $87 million, to older truckers who choose to abandon the industry. But Somoza said the truckers considered those measures insufficient. They are seeking government regulations guaranteeing a minimum price for their services, above fuel costs.
The picture is not supposed to go with this link. Sorry about that.
