- Nikola Tesla

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

Naša talentovana slikarka savremene umetnosti, Gordana Tomić, održala je samostalnu izložbu pod nazivom “Za Beograd pre Njujorka”, u galeriji Singidunum od 6. do 14. marta 2014. godine. Svoja dela ova umetnica predstavila je prvo beogradskoj publici nakon čega sledi izložba u Njujorku, od 5 – 25. jula ove godine. Samostalna izložba u galeriji Singidunum je i svojevrsna najava izložbe u Njujorku, a upravo je ova činjenica postala lajtmotiv izložbe „Za Beograd pre Njujorka“. Radovi slikarke Gordane Tomić, koju na svetskoj sceni savremene umetnosti zastupa njujorška galerija “Agora”, obuhvataju tri ciklusa: ciklus apstrakcija „Tragovi složenih iskušenja“, ciklus apstraktnih aktova „Osvajajući potreti u strasti“ i ciklus apstraktnih pejzaža „Chicago“. Domaća javnost imala je priliku da se na izložbi, u galeriji Singidunum, upozna sa delom opusa iz ciklusa apstrakcija pod nazivom “Tragovi složenih iskušenja”. Na svečanosti povodom otvaranja izložbe, o njenom značaju za savremenu srpsku umetnost, govorio je Zdravko Vučinić, naš istaknuti kritičar i istoričar umetnosti – recenzent kataloga izložbe „Tragovi složenih iskušenja“, Maja Škaljac Stanošević, kustos galerije Singidunum i Tijana Trbović, zamenik umetničkog direktora galerije Prima.

Nakon izložbe u Beogradu, slikarka će svojim radovima na izložbi u galeriji “Agora” na Menhetnu, simbolično preneti duh Beograda u autentičnu globalnu metropolu, Njujork. Galerija “Agora” se nalazi na respektabilnom šestom mestu globalne mape galerija specijalizovanih za savremenu umetnost i biće zvanični zastupnik Gordane Tomić na medjunarodnoj sceni do kraja 2015. godine. Vredi zabeležiti da će Gordana Tomić biti prva slikaraka sa naših prostora koja će održati izložbu u ovoj galeriji. "Za ovog umetnika lepota umetnosti je izražena u fizici, emocijama i u življenju sada-i-ovde. Kroz jarke boje i često elementarne i amorfne konstrukcije, Tomićeva grabi izvanredne, smislene momente koji definišu njen utisak sveta. Njene slike proširuju naš pogled na svet naglašavajući stalno menjanje pejzaža iskustava u nama." - Citat kriticara Joyce Asper, New York.

Izložba u Njujorku pod nazivom "Cadences of Color", biće svečano otvorena 10. jula od 6 - 8 pm, i trajaće do 25. jula 2014.

Man and the God-Man

by Archimandrite Justin Popovich

"Father Justin Popovich, pan-orthodox witness to the God-revealed and Christ-given Eternal Truth, whose testimony can be even seen within this collection of his articles - that "the mystery of Truth is not in material things, not in ideas, not in symbols, but in Personhood, namely the Theanthropic Person of the Lord Christ, Who said: I am the Truth (John 14:6), Truth perfect, never diminished, always one and the same in its complete fullness - yesterday, today, and forever (Heb.13:8)."

The treasure to be found in this anthology of neopatristic syntheses consists of: "Perfect God and perfect man" - Nativity Epistle, where Fr Justin boldly exclaim that "man is only a true man when he is completely united with God, only and solely in God is man a man, true man, perfect man, a man in whom all the fullness of Godhead lives."; "The God-man" - The foundation of the Truth of Orthodoxy - Ava Justinian language of love in Christ-centered reflections of Truth; "The Supreme Value and Infallible Criterion"- contemporary philosophical reflections on visible and invisible realities; "Sentenced to Immortality" - a homily on the Resurrection or Our Lord Jesus Christ; "Humanistic and Theanthropic Culture"-criticism of European anti-Christian culture; "Humanistic and Theanthropic Education" - indicative pondering of consequences of education without God.. ; "The Theory of Knowledge of Saint Isaac the Syrian" - Faith, prayer, love, humility, grace and freedom, the purification of the intellect, mystery of knowledge; "A Deer in a Lost Paradise" - Ava's renowned poetic essay, a confession, and deepest longing for all-sweetest Jesus...
