Glenn Gould as Karlheinz Klopweisser (left) and as Sir Nigel Twitt-Thornwaite (right), 1980 -by Robert C. Ragsdale [+]
Gould loved hamming and enjoyed assuming the parts of a fictitious “dean of British conductors”, Sir Nigel Twitt-Thornwaite; a German critic, Dr. Herbert von Hochmeister; and a New York cab driver, Theodore Slutz of Brooklyn Heights. Other alter egos were Dr. Karlheinz Klopweisser, a German composer and critic; Sir Humphrey Price-Davies, a “BBC-type pedagogue”; Duncan Haig-Guinness, a Canadian radio producer; and two psychiatrists, S.F. Lemming, M.D., and Wolfgang von Krankmeister. Gould enjoyed these creations, making tapes for which he spoke “in character”, writing fictitious interviews, and even publishing certain articles under the name “Herbert von Hochmeister”. These affectations permitted him to combine “his enthusiasm for the literary craft, the musician’s ear for intricate cadences; and the ham’s desire for a good laugh.”
— Richard Kostelanetz, ‘Glenn Gould: Bach in the Electronic Age’ - in John McGreevey (ed.), ‘Glenn Gould Variations’ (Doubleday, Toronto, 1983)
Important works of art are active. They provoke different reactions depending on the viewer and they elude answers. On a practical level the work is an answer to a question that the artist has posed to himself, but it will only be a relevant answer if, on a fundamental level, the answer becomes a new question.

![Alejandra Pizarnik at her parents’ home, Buenos Aires, nd -by Sara Facio [+]
She came to my studio to get acquainted. She wanted me to take photographs of her, but she wished at first to know how I was… rather unusual, but I had already been warned that she was a different person. She spoke with a Russian accent, pronouncing the words very slowly.After a few minutes of conversation, the doorbell rang, and here was Silvina Ocampo. It was not necessary to make the presentations. Immediately, Alejandra was transformed; leaving the character she was impersonating so far.She told me afterwards that to know her [Ocampo] was what she had wished the most in the world.Of course, we did not make any photos that evening. We postponed the session for the following week. We met at her parents’ home, located in a very modest district, where she lived temporarily.— Sara Facio, in ‘Foto De Escritor 1963/1973’ (Art Books International, 1998) [my poor translation, see the original text and more here…]

A message received from the author of this interesting tumblr:
See my illustrations and drawings on my Blog. Maybe you will like them. I am having difficulty to find other blogs or sites where I can publish-promote my kind-type of architectural drawings. I am looking for more architectural orientated Blogs and not just general illustration blogs. I am aiming to more architectural visitors. Do you have any suggestion? That would help me a lot. Thank you for help. Aleksandar
Not knowing many “architectural orientated Blogs”, I suggested Aleksandar to contact the team of ARTchipel.
May be some will have more specific suggestions…
James Joyce, Dublin 1904 -by Constantine P. Curran
Dublin, 1904. The summer Joyce met Nora, friend and fellow University College student Constantine P. Curran took this photograph of James sporting the same yachting cap he was wearing when he met his future wife on 10 June 1904. She thought the handsome young James might be a “sailor.” When later asked what James was thinking about while being photographed, he replied, “I was wondering would he lend me five shillings.”
