¿Osama death or alive?

Today the most waited news from the USA people becomes a reality, Osama Bin Laden has been killed in Pakistan.
Obama announced it today, day 2/5/2011. But there is a problem. Osama’s body hasn’t been seen and there isn’t proof this news is real. Why hasn’t the body gone to UUEE? Why aren’t there any photos? And where is the video? Is all this story true? Or is it just a plan of USA because the Islam war is becoming bigger and they can actue the military. Because remember that USA needs war to hold his economy, and with this new they can gain a lot of things like oil, money, weapons and a lot of power in the Arabian world.

The Pritzker Architecture Prize:

Announcing the 2011 Laureate: Eduardo Souto de Moura (Portugal)

If you don’t know what the Pritzker prize is I will tell you that it’s the Nobel Prize of Architecture. People like: Oscar Niemeyer (1988), Tadao Ando (1995), Norman Foster (1999), Zaha Hadid (2004) or Jean Nouvel (2008) have won it. But this year the prize goes to Portugal, with Eduardo Souto de Moura.
Eduardo de Moura was born on Porto (Portugal) on July 25, 1952 and at 58 years of age he has won this prize, the biggest honor that an architect can have.
He has worked mainly in his native country, Portugal, basically in private house projects. All of us know about him since he designed the stadium of the Braga in 2004.
His architecture has a strong feeling with the forms and the context of the space. He used to play with wood, aluminium, and ceiling. All of it with minimalism style, because he always thinks that people will live in his buildings.

Nobel Prize: LIU XIAOBO

This year the winner of the Nobel piece price was Liu Xiaobo, but the biggest news come from the situation of Liu. He has been in captivity with a sentence of 11 years in prison by the Chinese government because Liu Xiaobo fought for the human rights in a country with a dictatorship (in December 2008 Liu read his manifest “charter 08” that suggested a new political reform).

Now Liu Xiaobo is in prison, and he didn’t know that he was the winner of this prize for a long time. Only a month later his wife talked with him about this when she visited him in prison.
More problems come with the ceremony because China didn’t accept that Liu could go there to receive the prize, almost saying that the countries that were in favour of the nomination of Xiaobo would be considered China’s enemies.

FREE LIU XIAOBO!!!!

271 unknown painting by Pablo Picasso

Two news in one:



New works of Pablo Picasso under question
&
Picasso’s 271 items discovered in France


271 unknown painting by Pablo Picasso were discovered by an electrician in France (Pierre Le Guennec, 71 years old).
Pierre wrote to Picasso’s son, Clude Picasso asking him to authenticate the works of the notebook, 9 cubist collages and some paintings. This work cost about 60 million Euros.

Pierre Le Guennec had these paintings because they were a gift from Pablo Picasso in 1970, but the police confiscated the paintings because Claude Picasso said that his father never gave paintings as a present, and that Le Guennec had stolen the painting from his father.

I hope that all these paintings go to a museum!!!
