Green is the color of hope. Green
is the color of Islam. And green was the symbol of recognition among the
supporters of presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who became the
symbolic figure of the Green Revolution. The presidential elections on June
12th, 2009 were supposed to bring about a change, but contrary to all
expectations the ultra-conservative populist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was confirmed
in office. As clear as was the result, as loud and justified were the
accusations of vote-rigging. The on-going “Where is my vote?” protest
demonstrations were again and again worn down and broken up with brutal attacks
by government militia. Images taken from private persons with their cell phones
or cameras bear witness to this excessive violence: people were beaten, stabbed,
shot dead, arrested, kidnapped, some of them disappearing without trace. What
remains is the countless number of dead or injured people and victims of
torture, and another deep wound in the hearts of the Iranians.

Frida Kahlo was born on July 6, 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico. Exactly 47 years from now, before she died in the same city and her beloved Mexico, many things would happen; she’d meet Diego Rivera, become a world-renowned artist, and allow many of her fans to dress like her on Halloween.
Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
Between 1963 and 1966 Andy Warhol worked at making film portraits of all sorts of characters linked to New York art circles. Famous people and anonymous people were filmed by Andy Warhol’s 16 mm camera, for almost four minutes, without any instructions other than ‘to get in front of the camera’.
