González-Torres was trained as a photographer and his oeuvre incorporates this medium in varying ways, he is well known for works that transform commonplace materials into installations that foster meaningful responses from audiences, as well as works with which audiences can choose to physically interact, and works that may be manifested anew and can change each time they are exhibited.

(1991)įélix González-Torres or Felix Gonzalez-Torres (Novem– January 9, 1996) was a Cuban-born American visual artist. and Elena are part of an intellectual class who are astute enough to understand that they don't belong here, and yet they treat the local population and environment - the very things they claim to embrace to free themselves from their past lives - with contempt."Untitled" (Go-Go Dancing Platform) (1991) What makes the characters so recognizable, so uncomfortable and so relevant, particularly in today's hipster-dominated culture, is how their intent to live consciously is thwarted by an utter lack of self-awareness. While J., whose fate drives the novel, feels anxiety and sorrow over the choices that eventually lead to the destruction of the environment, Elena is intolerable, accusing staff of breaking her sewing machine, swearing for no reason at the placid locals, and cordoning off the beach where she swims so the locals don't stare at her like "some sort of exotic animal." Although the characters are clearly stand-ins for capitalism and colonialism, whose insidious presence gradually overtakes the narrative, the opacity of the couple's thoughts and actions makes it difficult for readers to access their point of view. and Elena rarely express vulnerability or insight. But it's difficult to escape such malaise when they've brought it with them. thinks after a contested timber shipment sells for less money than he had hoped.

Beyond the plantation, the coastline is "curved into a pair of claws to create a sweeping natural harbour," and everywhere the couple goes there are mangoes, papayas, melons and guanábanas.Ī poor financial investment quickly requires J. By contrast, the finca's surroundings, richly and sensuously rendered by González and Spanish-language translator Frank Wynne, burst with images of fecundity. When the couple arrives at the estate, or finca, however, the house, although a "wooden mansion," is run-down, filled with junk and without running water. ![]() ![]() ![]() Windows 11 and Windows 10 users can install Photoshop Express.

After all, each of these is a finite event in sequence, so it makes sense to do so.Īdditionally, if a shorter action is complete, use the preferite.įor a quick way to remember this, remember that the imperfect is not complete, i.e. If someone is describing a series of events in the past, then the preterite is the tense to use. In short, for those who really want to know Spanish well, the preterite is a fact of life, and a vital simple past tense.Īlso, there are two other times where the preterite is especially useful. However, while native speakers will be sympathetic to anyone trying to speak, it sounds a bit like someone who forms the future tense in English by saying ‘he is going + infinitive’ all the time without understanding how to use the word ‘will.’ Sure, it gets the point across, but there’s a better way. In that case, it may come down to simply having been exposed to enough of the language to know what is going on.įor example, one may use the preterite to express having gone to summer camp once, but will use the imperfect to describe the action of going canoeing every day while at summer camp.įor many Spanish learners, there is a temptation to rely more on the imperfect, because it is the easier simple past tense to form. Obviously, there can be some overlap here. Likewise, his childhood would likely be referred to in the imperfect, but the act of having a first day of school is definitely spoken about in the preterite. ![]() One may have ‘used to gone’ to school, but she likely only graduated once. However, if one needs a Spanish past tense that describes an occurrence where something was shorter or more finite, then the preterite is called upon. ![]() something that they ‘used to do,’ then the imperfect is the tense to use. If someone is trying to express a thought that refers to a past habitual action, i.e. The imperfect is the Spanish past tense best thought of as the ‘used to do’ case. one word) Spanish past tenses, the preterite and the imperfect. In Spanish, one has to be precise as to if the action happened throughout the past or at a relatively finite moment. In English, context is normally provided to address this, but it is easy to see how this could cause some misunderstandings. The reader or listener, unless other information is provided, does not know whether she studied Spanish one day and then never again, or she studied the language for quite some time. However, there’s some incomplete information in that sentence. If one were to say that she learned Spanish, the verb ‘learn’ has an -ed at the end. In English, the past tense is normally indicated by -ed at the end of a word. Even the idea of a stem-changing verb makes sense after all, languages have to preserve sound, not spelling.Īnd then, just when one thinks that they were absolutely correct in not taking French or Chinese or German, there comes the two past tenses - the preterite and the imperfect.įiguring out the usage of each, as well as how to confidently use the preterite, is one of the crucial steps that will help take a learner from beginning to intermediate Spanish, while also setting them up for understanding just how important verbs are to the entire language. There’s no new alphabet, and other than a few pronunciation differences, speaking isn’t all that hard. For many Spanish learners, the first few weeks are easy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for The Recording Academy)Ĭlinton, the founder of Rock and Roll Hall of Famer group Parliament-Funkadelic, has been going through his own long-time fight for his masters and publishing, particularly important given how many hip-hop artists have sampled his work.īack in 2005, a federal judge granted Clinton full copyright ownership of four Funkadelic albums, One Nation Under A Groove, Uncle Jam Wants You, Hardcore Jollies and The Electric Spanking of War Babies, per Billboard.Įarlier this month, Clinton was victorious in a defamation suit against him by music publisher Armen Boladian, as announced by his law firm Nolan Heimann, LLP.
