In 1968 there was a group of us sharing an apartment somewhere near Cala Des Moro. If anyone remembers me I would love to hear from you.

Hi, I just read some nonsense here about the so called daughter of Marilyn Monroe on Ibiza ??? pretending to be engaged to Lord Sydney Ling...well, to be honest knowing Lord Sydney who I have known since the late seventies and is a great person would never get engaged to anyone as he is known to be on his own. He mayhave his grilfriends but would never get engaged as the vague annoucement I just saw on this site...que tonteria...es la leche...I am sure he would laugh at this as well.;)

Hello.I am searching for information about a painter named Clara Algudo who was painting in Ibiza in the Fifties and Sixties. She had work in an exhibition in the church. The painting she did was bought by my uncle in 57 and shows a girl with green beads. Anyone know where Clara is now? Thanks for any info.Mary

Mary Williams (Market Drayton, Uk)
Hola.I am trying to find information about a painter called Algudo, Clara (I assume Clara is her first name) who had some paintings in an exhibition in a church on Ibiza in 1956 or 1957. My uncle bought a painting there of a girl wearing green beads while he was on his honeymoon in Ibiza all those years ago and has asked me to research it. He's quite frail and depressed right now, so I'd like to help him in any way I can. Does the name ring any bells for anyone?Many thanksMary

I am trying to trace a painter who was working in Ibiza in the Fifties. The name on the painting is Algudo, Clara. The painting is of a girl with a green necklace, and it was exhibited in the main church in Ibiza town.Any help would be appreciated - I'm enquiring on behalf of an uncle who honeymooned in Ibiza and bought the painting always intending to find out more about the artist, who may well be a woman from the name given.Thanks

Hola,My husband and I met and fell in love on Costa del Sol 9yrs ago. We were looking to return with our four children next year. However since spending a week on Ibiza we now wish to relocate here. I have been searching online for property but all I come across are extravagant properties. Can anyone point me in the direction of simple property.Our initial plan was to purchase some land and site a couple of caravans, to live simply and peacefully. If we are able to do this in Ibiza, great. Am open to everything really.Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I lived in Palma in the late 50s and befriended the writer Steve Seley who lived in Ibiza and who visited Mallorca often. Your recent post was not admiring of his novel, "The End of Mercy," but let me say a few words about it and Steve who I suspect is no longer with us.He was a handsome man, maybe 5';10', who had long been an expat. He'd lived in Paris and had a long on-again-off-again affair with a lovely Parisien, Claire Lichtenstein. He had a helluva temper, talked too much, but was kind and ebullient and, as I think of him now, a character out of the 20s and 30s. Claire, married, wanted and didn't want to live with him. She had the security and boredom of a French husband; she and Steve were a floating drama of longing and lost opportunity. He was not easy to take for more than an hour. I was in my mid-20s and he was close to fifty but we had in common fathers who were attorneys in Newark, NJ. His father was much admired by colleagues, I learned, when I returned in '59, and retained hope his son could establish himself as a novelist.Steve was typical of the literary types of his time--he was nuts about Joyce.The influence was clear in "Mercy" which he sent to me in NYC in '69 where I had acquired a wife and a baby girl. I read it, enjoyed it, and believe I gave it away in the mid-90s. I regret I never sent him a note thanking him for the book and telling him truthfully that I liked it very much. Another artist from Ibiza whom I met casually in Mallorca and knew better in NYC was the painter Carlos Sansegundo whose work I found interesting. He subsequently married the former mistress of Jackson Pollack, not a pleasant woman, and sometime after the 70s left NY; I believe he is back in Ibiza.And the third resident of Ibiza who made an impression on me was the hero of my youth, Erroll Flynn. I met him in the summer of '58 on his yacht anchored off Palma and he was a shadow of his former robust, electric self. A year later, he was dead at 49 at party in Oregon or Washington. A very talented man, too gifted for the Hollywood junk peddlers, he left a good book, "My Wicked Wicked Ways."FW

I just came across Timotheus Freytag's post regarding the deadly virus affecting the Aloe Vera. Recently, I've had 3 plants that turned black and I have seen more in the garden that seem to suffer from this virus. Is there still no cure for this illness? Or perhaps somebody knows more about this weird virus.

Would someone please let me know if the sculptor Antonio Tur Gabrielet is still living and, if so, his email or postal address. He lived on Formentera in the mid-1970's but may have moved back to Ibiza. Among his many friends were Jose Ramon Torres and Rodrigo del Val Hernando. I would like to order one of his "sunburst" frescoes for our home. Thanks for your help. Sandy McMath

Dear Ibiza Wild Cactus Lovers,A mysterious but serious disease or virus is taking out a common variety of Ibiza cactuses of the Aloe Vera family. This killer infests and darkens the leaves making them suffer a reddish to deadly black dead looking color a no good color. Eiviss Gardens on the right as we drive into Ibiza Town from the Santa Eulalia road told me it's a virus. And there is nothing one can do for the plants effected it is deadly and kills.Professional plant people on the Eivissa Conseile level ought to take a closer look at this problem and offer an island wide solution to remedie the problem.I have eight big plants like this effected on my property.Anyone else have any such problems to report?All the best and in hope for an island wide cure,Timotheus Freytag

UEBERblick (PANORÁMICA) … una exposición en Alemania.Montaje de fotografías de José F. Tauste y Holger E. DunckelDel 6 de diciembre del 2009 hasta Semana Santa del 2010En el mirador de la Torre de Televisión de Schwerin(Capital de la comunidad autónoma de Mecklenburgo)Desde el gran éxito de la “foto-instalación” PANORAMA-GIRLS durante este verano, el director del Centre Cultural en Sant Joan de Labritja – Holger E. Dunckel –se encarga también del programa cultural en la torre de televisión de Schwerin. Esta previsto convertir este sitio en un centro para la fotografía contemporánea.Para el pasado mes de octubre estaba previsto inaugurar la actual exposición, con la participación de Pepe Tauste, y como celebración del segundo aniversario del ELASTICISMO. Pero se recuerdan, José F. Tauste falleció en el mes de agosto, y entonces hemos cambiado las fechas. El montaje fotográfico muestra una serie de 12 colages digitales de Tauste. WOODY ALLEN y MIA FARROW contemplando el panorama del Central Park en Nueva York, desde uno de los típicos bancos de parque. Pero en el fondo aparecen imágenes de otras películas como King-Kong, Mr. Marshall, Odisea en el Espacio y otras. Los protagonistas se encuentran de espaldas a los espectadores, y a las vistas panorámicas, que ofrece el mirador de la torre. Estas imágenes están contrastadas con 14 fotografías de H.E.Dunckel, que representan impresiones de los alrededores del lugar de la exposición, en su mayoría indicando la dirección donde se encuentra el escenario en realidad. Se puede contemplar paisajes y rincones del norte de Alemania, y por su puesto en fragmentos algo surrealistas. En total se ofrece 4 conjuntos de diferentes dimensiones.Comentario de Holger E. Dunckel: Contrario a muchos artistas, buscando un prestigio evidentemente dudoso en las salas “mainstream”, me gusta exponer en espacios públicos, aunque a veces a los administradores de estos lugares les falta algo de sensibilidad para el arte. No obstante, la obra es accesible a un gran numero de espectadores, y casi siempre de sorpresa. Las PANORAMA-GIRLS han tenido cerca de 100.000 visitas durante el verano. La realidad cultural en Ibiza muestra un panorama bastante más triste.Hace por lo menos tres décadas, que las muestras de arte han salido de sus círculos cerrados, abriéndose a un público más amplio. Hoy deciden tres componentes sobre el éxito del artista y su obra: el contexto (siempre internacional), la resonancia (de los espectadores contemporáneos) y la inversión (en las correspondientes presentaciones). De este modo, hasta los museos en todo el mundo se han convertido cada vez más en espacios públicos, donde no sólo un “meollo de enterados” se hace pasar por conocedores de arte. La ampliación de los conceptos del arte, también ha creado otros conceptos de recepción, y de muy buena influencia. Estamos hablando de la creatividad de los seres en general.(se puede visitar la anterior exposición y el lugar en la web:http://buga2009.elasticismo.net/index.htm )www.hedunckel.info www.tauste.net

Is Antonio Tur Gabrielet still living and working in Formentera/Ibiza? If so, please tell him hello for "El Cid, El Loco de Little Rock." Also Jose Ramon Torres and Rodrigo del Val Hernando, if they are still around. We were friends back in 1972-1976 and helped Toni throw some great fiestas at his finca out on La Mola.
