Hello and welcome my Steemian friends to a new episode of "The Cartuja Monastery in Seville" !!!!!
Infrequently individuals have enormous dreams and they develop a working to house their fantasies. Draw up plans, sort out blocks and mortar, work away to rise the dividers. Put persistence and invest push to make this house the ideal home for their thoughts.
Be that as it may, at that point, in the end, dreams blur away. Or, on the other hand they end up noticeably out of date. Long overlooked.
With your fantasies spent and over, what do you do when the building that was intended to house your fantasies is never again required? Do you dispose of it, tear it down, destruct it to prepare for another building? Or, on the other hand do you essentially leave, abandon the house, and surrender it over to others to populate the space with their own particular dreams
From Monastery to Art Centre:-
When I as of late went to the Monastery of Our Lady of the Caves, otherwise called the Cartuja Monastery of Seville, I was spooky by precisely these considerations. Situated on an island in the Guadalquivir River, this building complex used to be a place of dreams that was disposed of and repurposed.
It was once raised as a cloister, however the fantasies of venerating and serving God have long gone. The religious communities in Spain were disbanded in the nineteenth century, the structures forsook and left to fill different needs.
For around 140 years after the last Carthusian priests had betrayed the building, the cloister served to satisfy someone else's fantasy: it turned into a pottery production line. Also, when this fantasy finished too in 1984, the complex was procured by the province of Andalusia and changed into a gallery of contemporary workmanship. From religious community to a manufacturing plant and now an exhibition hall.
Which is the reason when you visit the Monastery of Our Lady of the Caves today, you will locate an inquisitive blend of things: The old, the new, and the extremely current.
A Day-Trip Destination Not Just For Art Fans:-
This inquisitive blend of styles, inconspicuous indications of the past, and astonishing subtle elements of long-overlooked dreams make this National Monument an advantageous day-trip goal for guests to Seville. It isn't too far from different sights in the focal point of the city, and if its all the same to you strolling it's only a stroll over an extension and to the opposite side of the stream. On the other hand, transport courses C1 and C2 will take you there as well.
Moving toward the religious community, nothing insights at the contemporary craftsmanship that is covered up inside. Just when you advance through the gatehouse and into the inward yard, and pivot, you will be shocked to see a mammoth hand and a face jabbing through two of the windows. Surprising craftsmanship is all over the place: windows in the trees, and fabulously molded melodic instruments in an angled walkway. Words, composed on a divider close to the bistro.
A Repurposed Monastery That Still Hints at its Glorious Past:-
However, the first magnificence of the devout structures of Seville's Cartuja Monastery, the staggering round window of the congregation with the blue coated tiles around it, is justified regardless of a moment look.
Inside the congregation, in the groups, the refectory, the varied blend of old and new proceeds. Blurred improving examples effortlessness the dividers. Specialties that used to hold statues, show up strangely lost, without their unique situation. Vivid tiles with geometrical examples cover bring down parts of the dividers, with colossal holes between.
A particular gathering of hints of the past, of times when priests would feast together, rest together, ask together.
The structures have been precisely revamped to uncover these clues of medieval craftsmanship by standing out them from clean whiteness. Present day workmanship, photographs, publications, establishments, involving these white zones, not hindering the perspectives of the old parts, but rather remaining alongside them one next to the other, similar to unruly accomplices.
Monastery, Ceramics Factory, Art Centre:-
Outside, we proceed with our investigation. In the garden, we stop before an expansive Ombu tree, entranced. It's not really a tree but rather a huge grass, a specialist in monitoring water, huge fit as a fiddle and size. Legend has it that this Ombu had been planted by the child of Christopher Columbus.
In the sun-prepared yard behind the congregation, we discover stays of the old artistic ovens. Observers of the Industrial Revolution, basically molded yet with an elegant swing in their methodical structures. Like pot-bellied stacks, these furnaces look strangely lost in the shade of the devout structures. However in the meantime, they have a specific interest – they enhance the place by their peculiarity and odd symmetry.
However, our most loved part is the curve that used to prompt the laymen quarters. Canvassed in brilliant tiles through and through, it is stunningly excellent. What's more, it turns out to be certain that style are to be sure ageless, since we can't work out whether the tiles are contemporary of the period (they are for sure medieval).
Cartuja Monastery, an Apt Canvas For Dreams Big And Small:-
The Monastery of Our Lady of the Caves is an unusual place. With its juxtaposition of styles and thoughts, unfulfilled dreams and mechanical desire, it works like the ideal canvas for contemporary workmanship.
What's more, this is the thing that I learned en route: You don't have to develop a working to house your fantasies. On the off chance that there is a superbly fine shell accessible, you can repurpose a current house, make it your own.
Or, on the other hand you can do as we did: Simply visit a house that moves you. Investigate a place that influences your brain to meander for a little time to come up with your own particular dreams. Also, not only this: Take these new thoughts home, reflect on them over, dream greater.
The Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo is open day by day aside from Mondays. Section expenses are insignificant yet in the event that you need to spare, visit in the nights after 7pm or on a Saturday.
