Tauba Auerbach part 2




Initially commissioned as one of a series of artists' games for Wallpaper* magazine, Field Of Vision favourite Tauba Auerbach's idiosyncratic playing cards have now been refined and produced in a deluxe limited edition by DZEK, a New York-based publisher of art and design editions.
Further exploring her fascination with language and mathematics, Auerbach has produced two different decks: the Functions Deck and the Shapes Deck. The Functions Deck replaces the standard suits with the mathematical symbols +, -, x, and ÷, and half the deck is black, half white. For the Shapes Deck the suits are represented by geometric shapes, and the picture cards show platonic solids instead of the usual 'royal family'.
There is a long history of artists designing playing cards - Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish, Dali and Alberto Vargas to name a few - but Auerbach has put such thought into her deck, she has almost invented her own playing system with all the added mathematical elements.
The two decks are beautifully produced and come in hand-numbered debossed linen boxes, each limited to a run of 250.

  4. Putlocker may be a seamless portal for television, series, movies, songs, etc. for free. it's not mainly for any film or language, from Hollywood to Bollywood, one can have access to each possible movie. In fact, unlike other portals who operate completely illegally, Putlocker has an official site named Putlocker.com that a broad base of individuals is mad.

    For the official content recorded, over 1.6 million people worldwide made access to it portal on a per-day basis. because of the piracy issues, it faced a report by motion picture Association of America, which led to its pack up by the united kingdom court Order. it had been considered together of the highest 250 sites visited by the people worldwide. Although, thanks to its massive fan base, Putlockers remains operated under different proxy websites.

  6. The Ayodhya Ram Mandir represents more than just a place of worship; it symbolizes the unity in diversity that defines India. The construction of the temple is viewed by many as a moment of reconciliation and healing after years of communal tension. The Ayodhya dispute, while rooted in historical and religious differences, also highlighted the need for dialogue and understanding among diverse communities.
