As you probably know, the second edition of the CAN REON festival is fast approaching. This year it will be a two-days event that will happen on 27 and 28 September in the hills of Tiana (10 km from Barcelona). In my last newsletter, I talked about the musical interventions that you will experience. Today, I am excited to tell you about the other arts. The CAN REON festival is a synergy of various specializations, all related to nature. It is fascinating to curate a show that moves beyond the walls of a white cube, putting works that speak about nature into a natural environment.
Into nature
When you visit the festival, you will notice the mesmerizing short films of Dutch artist Jacco Olivier floating in the air, hanging in the trees and laying on the grass. The multi-screen video installation of Dutch artist Jan Robert Leegte is going to overwhelm you with the force of a simulated landscape. A storm sweeping through trees and the roar of the ocean can be heard, an intriguing feature in a landscape that usually is calm and peaceful.
What a contrast with the Silence Meal performance by Finnish artist Nina Backman, a seated lunch in another part of the CAN REON grounds: you are not supposed to talk during the meal. Sit down in silence, enjoy the surrounding nature, hear the birds singing and enjoy the wild food, foraged and prepared by award winning Finnish chef Sami Tallberg.
Old sheds
Heart of the festival is the 600 years old wine farm and its adjacent sheds which will be used for the presentations of art works. The Homo Refugus, a surrealistic creature by Dutch artist Margriet van Breevoort, is residing in the former pig house, the film ‘I will show you fear in a handful of dust’ by Dutch artist Desiree Dolron can be enjoyed by peeking through a hole in the door of dusty half-decayed shelter. In one of the other old buildings Spanish artist Cristina Lucas presents her explorative video ‘Cobalt’. Cobalt blue, a cherished and meaningful color in art history, is also an essential element for the human body and indispensable in the current trajectory of the energy transition.
Art and Play
In this festival full of intermixture, we should not forget the kites of Dutch artists Bertjan Pot and Maurice Scheltens who combine art and play. Their amazing kites will be exhibited but if it is windy Pot and Scheltens will also fly them.
And finally, Panama Pictures, the dance group I encountered in a breathtaking performance in Museum Voorlinden. In two different dance performances, the dancers and acrobats of Panama Pictures will push the boundaries of what is possible.
I wish you a summer full of sunshine and hope you to see you in September on the festival.

MBBS in Germany is an interesting option for students because of its strong medical education system and relatively low tuition costs at many public universities. However, it's important to understand the language requirements, admission process, and licensing pathway before making a decision. If anyone has firsthand experience studying medicine in Germany, I'd love to hear your insights.

I love how the festival will feature Jacco Olivier's films hanging in the trees and laying on the grass, and it's inspired me to play with some pixel art using Twitch emote resizer. It really shows how powerful it can be when you take art out of the gallery and put it into nature itself.
Among the different articles I explored, this one was one of the easiest to understand because of its clear writing style. The writer gradually introduced the topic before discussing Diu Win, making the transition smooth and natural. Every section added useful information that improved the overall discussion instead of revisiting previous points. Later in the article, Diu Win appeared again with additional context that reinforced the earlier explanation and helped summarize the topic. The writing style remained consistent throughout, providing readers with an informative and comfortable reading experience from start to finish.
