Collages by Deborah Stevenson

Deborah Stevenson born in Washington, DC and grew up in Tokyo. She got her BA from Sarah Lawrence College in New York.

I began composing collage pieces in earnest 5 years ago, working with material in magazines and books. My influences include the pioneer collage/surreal artists: Braque, Ernst, Hannah Hoch, Joseph Cornell, Magritte, to name a few, as well as the German Expressionists in all media. A life-long interest in Eastern philosophy and Jungian psychology have contributed to my fascination with allegory and symbology. Themes that recur in my work express metaphorically my exploration of concepts of power, beauty, the Feminine, and mysterious archetypal conjunctions.

Spyros Verykios - I don’t want to dream Exhibition from May 5th... crss



Spyros Verykios - I don’t want to dream

Exhibition from May 5th to May 25th Tuesday – Thursday 14.00 – 18.00

Opening on Friday, 5th of May 2017 17.00 – 22.00

The exhibition is organized by CBK, with the support of Malmö Kulturstöd, in cooperation with ABF Malmö.

The Hybriden Art Space in conjuction with CBK, Malmö Kulturstöd and ABF Malmö is pleased to present a series of paintings by Greek artist Spyros Verykios on May 5. Completed in two years, the work involves painting that were created for his 43 pages comic book “ I don’t want to dream” entirely painted in oil.

“I don’t want to dream” is a metaphysical horror story about how an experiment with mindexpanding drugs has unexpected consequences – or is it something else entirely? The borders between what is dream, reality and bedtime story are blurred sometimes.

The whole story will be included in the international comic art magazine

CBA vol 36|37, along with three other stories, by Akab [IT], Elena Guidolin [IT] and Serena Schinaia [IT]. Cover by Radovan Popović [RS].

The theme for this volume isIn the pits of madness.

Let’s plunge together into the pits of madness. Let’s watch the dissolution of reality, let’s dance with clear heads and see where it takes us. Let’s travel the river hiding in the desert sands until the wind rises and we reach the final collapse. Let’s look deep into the eye of the tiger. And see afterwards if we dare to dream.The exhibition opening is also the release party for CBA vol 36|37

Paintings by Martine Johanna

Martine Johanna, an artist from Amsterdam, Netherlands is mostly known for her vivid paintings with both figurative and abstract elements. Her autobiographic works, seemingly light-hearted, explore the duality between youthful naivety and anxiety-riddled adulthood. The often female figures, fierce but fragile, crowd the compositions and occupy the majority of the space gazing distractedly into the beyond. Follow her on Instagram.

Her new solo exhibition - “Something’s Wrong”, opening Thursday, May 4th, 2017 at Massey Lyuben Gallery in NYC.

Eat For Healthier Bones! A list of Calcium Rich food You Need!

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body.

Though its most known for strengthening teeth and bones, it is also vital for maintaining healthy cells , hormone secretion, blood coagulation, as well as playing an important role in muscle contraction and relaxation.
In short, the body needs calcium to function.

As such there are a range of problems and health risks that can arise from having insufficient calcium. Calcium deficiency is surprisingly common and is considered by some to be a global public health problem, as such it is important to consider your own calcium intake.

Some problems are extremely serious, not only are you at a higher risk of developing diseases like Osteoporosis, but you can develop weak nails, hair loss, and even seizures.

The Warning signs of Calcium deficiency:

  • Lethargy or being overly fatigued
    If you find yourself usually tired during the day when there is no cause for it, this could be warning sign.
  • Tooth Decay
    If you find that your teeth are often aching , or feeling unusually sensitive, or even that there are visible holes in your teeth, this could be a sign of tooth decay, and with it, that you they are not being maintained through calcium intake.
  • Muscle weakness
    If you find you find yourself becoming strangely weaker. This could be a symptom that they aren’t being maintained through calcium.

If any of these sound familiar, its worth considering boosting your calcium with calcium rich foods (there is a list of such foods below), talking to your doctor, or cutting down on food which affect calcium absorption.

Foods which affect Calcium absorption

Surprisingly, improving Calcium levels in the body is not just about consuming Calcium rich foods, but also slightly decreasing your intake of foods which affect the way Calcium is absorbed into the body.
As such consuming them can negatively affect the calcium levels in the human body.
The following foods, nutrients, and minerals have this effect.

  • Sodium.
    Sodium is common in a great many food types (not just kinds which contain high levels of salt). In particular pre-packaged or pre-prepared meals, and canned foods and sauces are rich in Sodium.
    Sodium affects Calcium in your body by increasing the amount of Calcium excreted through your urine. So if you are consuming calcium rich foods and Sodium rich foods, some of the calcium consumed could be totally wasted by the Sodium.
  • Caffeine
    Caffeine has a small affect on both the levels of Calcium the body takes in, and the levels the body excretes. For example a cup of coffee causes a loss of roughly 3 milligrams of Calcium.
  • Alcohol
    Alcohol has been shown to negatively affect the way Calcium is absorbed into the body. However exactly how much is lost, and how much alcohol is required is as of yet unknown.

Top 10 Calcium Rich Foods That You Can Add To Your Diet

Its recommended that you consume and absorb 1000 – 1,500 milligrams of Calcium per day, what should you consume to best reach this number? Here are top 10 Calcium rich foods that you need for a boost!

Milk


Though there has been some doubt cast about how good milk is as a source of Calcium due to its high levels of fat and protein. I feel the math speaks for itself One glass of milk contains roughly 300 milligrams of Calcium. Less than half of this amount (131 milligrams) will be lost in the processing of the protein. As such you’ll gain 169 milligrams of Calcium.

Cheese

All dairy products are sensational sources of Calcium. One ounce of Cheese contains a staggering 224 milligrams of Calcium. However, like milk, cheese is quite fatty and thus I recommend it be consumed in moderation.

Cheese is of course, incredibly versatile, if used in conjunction with a meal featuring one or more of the foods on this list, you’ll get a great amount of Calcium quite easily.

Broccoli 

Broccoli is a pretty miraculous vegetable.
A handful of Broccoli can contain more than 86 milligrams of Calcium. What’s more, surprisingly Broccoli contain more Vitamin C than an Orange , so an increase in Broccoli in your diet is very much recommended.

Kale

Like Broccoli, Kale is incredibly nutritious. A 13 grams of cooked Kale will provide you at least 93 of milligrams of Calcium as well as being a fantastic source of Vitamin C and Vitamin K.

I recommend stir fried Kale and Broccoli as a good, easy, and calcium rich recipe to try.

Figs


Figs are a delicious, calcium rich fruit. In fact, 8 dry figs contain as much as 107 milligrams of Calcium, 10% of your daily recommended intake.
As they are great by themselves, they make an easy, uncomplicated snack. However Fig Jam is also a great source of Calcium.

Oranges


Oranges, as you well know are a rich source of Vitamin C, but also, a single orange can contain more than 65 milligrams of Calcium. Like Figs, they are delicious by themselves. However I think they are best enjoyed in a class of (fresh, not from concentrate) orange juice.

Tofu

Tofu is most known as a vegetarian meat/protein substitute, however it is also a fantastic and rich source of Calcium. Half a cup of Tofu can contain almost half of your daily recommended Calcium intake. Its important to note that the amount of Calcium in Tofu is dependent on the agent used to prepare the Tofu before packaging and selling. There should be an indication of the levels of Calcium in each packet of Tofu.

As it is a staple of Vegetarian and Vegan Cooking, it is extremely versatile. It takes the taste of whatever it is cooked with.
For a calcium and protein rich breakfast, I recommend Tofu Breakfast Tacos

Almonds 


Almonds are a nutritional powerhouse, containing a healthy amount of protein, Vitamin E, and Potassium. Though they contain fat, the fat contained is monounsaturated fat, which lowers cholesterol levels.
One ounce of Almonds contains as much as 75 milligrams of Calcium.

Like Figs and Oranges, they can be enjoyed by themselves as a healthy snack.

White Beans


Raw or cooked, these little beans pack a powerful amount of Calcium. 80 Grams raw, or 200 grams cooked white beans will give you 132 milligrams of Calcium. Also white beans are a great source of fiber, protein, and Iron. Making them a great addition to your diet

A delicious recipe using white beans has got to be Ravioli With Tomatoes, White Beans, and Escarole a meal that is quick to prepare, and one that contains 270 milligrams of Calcium per serving.

Sardines


Sardines, while salty, are an extremely nutritious fish. An ordinary tin or can of Sardines, will be packed with Calcium (for example: 60 grams of Sardines amounts to as much as 351 milligrams of Calcium.
But that’s not all, Sardines are also an extremely rich source of Vitamin D, an essential vitamin that is somewhat rare in food.

A fancy Sardines recipe comes from Jamie Oliver, Harissa sardines with couscous salad
