    “FIVE WOMEN AND ONE MAN” PRESENTED BY EMMANUELLE G. CONTEMPORARY ART at CONTEXT ART MIAMI 2019 | BOOTH C27 For media information: JC Agid | +1 917 349 8361 | [email protected] All exhibited artworks available online via Artsy Miami – for immediate release – December 3, 2019 : The intricate geometry of femininity and masculinity in space and time resonates through the works of the five women and one-man artists that Emmanuelle G. Contemporary Art presents at Context Art Miami, December 3-8, 2019 (booth C27). “As always when I introduce the newest artworks from the artists I represent at an art fair such as Context Miami, I aim to also curate an exhibition with a leading theme to create a full experience for visitors, whether they are art experts or amateurs,” explains founder of the eponymous gallery Emmanuelle Grelier. “Here, somehow, I have been drawn to painters and sculptors who suggest that we ought to think differently about our positioning within the society and our surroundings,” she adds. “This is an unbalanced—yet diverse gathering—of Five Women and One Man who share what I feel is a contemporary feminine vision of the world.” The artists that Emmanuelle G. Contemporary Art presents in Miami consist of Beatriz Guzman Catena (Argentina), Gigi Mills (United States), Laurence Perratzi (France), Lyndi Sales (South Africa), and Anne de Villeméjane (France). One male artist from the UK, Hormazd Narielwalla, who is famous for his series of paper dolls (including the 2019 sold-out series on Frida Kahlo that was presented last year in Miami by Emmanuelle G.

  • Persrecensie : "Emmanuelle? Niet Te Kloppen"
    Kempen, Mechelen, Metropool Noord, Metropool Zuid, Waasland "Emmanuelle? Niet te kloppen" 31-01-2006 Pag. 57 Het voorbije weekend werd ze tijdens De Nachten in deSingel 'de Anaïs Nin van de Benelux' genoemd, 'de beste softpornoster ever', 'muze', 'cultfiguur' en 'Emmanuelle', maar eigenlijk heet ze Sylvia Kristel (53). De actrice en beeldend kunstenares las in uiterst decent donkergrijs broekpak voor uit de aan haar opgedragen debuutbundel van de Antwerpse Jess De Gruyter. "Ik hou vooral van spannend proza", zegt La Kristel. "Een mysterie waarom al die jonge dichters mij blijven vinden." Sylvia Kristel, 32 jaar later, geeft tips voor opvolgsters nieuwe filmreeks Het mysterie heeft vermoedelijk een naam en wel deze: Emmanuelle. "Tough to beat!", zegt Sylvia Kristel. "Niet te kloppen. Ik ben gebombardeerd tot liefdesicoon door de inmiddels derde generatie! Ik krijg nog steeds mails en brieven, genre: 'Ons huwelijk is gered, dank u!' Ik vind het fijn om opnieuw die oude foto's te zien, van toen ik nog niet in de gaten had dat ik het aanzien waard was." Kent u nog tekst uit het hoofd van de Emmanuelle-films? Je veux te boire. Ik wil je drinken. Liefst 32 jaar na u worden weer tien speelfilms Emmanuelle gepland. Via een reality-show annex talentenjacht zal de nieuwe Emmanuelle worden gezocht. Bent u daarbij betrokken? Ik zou wel willen meewerken, maar achter de schermen dan. Ik heb geen zin om erbij te lopen zoals Tyra Banks en Janis Dickinson bij Top model. Twintig dames en evenveel heren zullen elkaar bekampen in de categorieën erotische scènes, het fonetisch nabootsen van orgasmes, strippen, telefoonseks en worstelen in een nat T-shirt..

Prof. Emmanuelle HELLIER Department of Geography and Spatial Planning Spaces and Societies UMR 6590 CNRS University of Rennes 2, Place Recteur Henri Le Moal, 35043 Rennes, France [email protected] Abstract Over the past fifteen or so years, the principles of ‘full-cost recovery’ and ‘the user pays’ have become prominent in water utility pricing across the EU. At the same time, uniform pricing has been introduced by local authorities to boost equality between users in a given territory.

  • Bereavement: Contemporary Scientific Perspectives for Researchers and Practitioners
    Psychologica Belgica 2010, 50-1&2, 1-6. BEREAVEMENT: CONTEMPORARY SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVES FOR RESEARCHERS AND PRACTITIONERS Emmanuelle ZECH & Margaret STROEBE Université catholique de Louvain & University of Utrecht, The Netherlands The death rate within the European Union is 9.6/1000, which is about the same as it is in North America (8.4 for 2009 in the Unites States of America, see CIA World Factbook, 2010). In concrete terms, this means that about 100,000 of the total population of 10 million Belgian people die each year (in fact, the death rate in Belgium is a bit higher, 10.5/1000). The 2001 the Belgian Health Interview Survey indicated that the relationship or social support network of Belgian citizens is composed of a mean number of 9 per- sons (Gisle, Buziarsist, Van der Heyden, Demarest, Miermans, Sartor et al., 2002). As a consequence, a rough estimation of the number of persons who become bereaved each year in Belgium is 945,000 (i.e., 9.5% of the Belgian population). In fact, the death of a loved one is an experience that occurs some time or other in nearly everyone’s life. Many of us will suffer multiple losses long before we reach old age, when such events occur with increasing frequency. We will lose our grandparents, parents, siblings, or close friends and romantic partners through death. Bereavement is a very frequent phe- nomenon, and as the contributions to this Special Issue will make amply clear, it is a personally impactful life event for most people. Before presenting this Special Issue, it is useful to distinguish and define some basic terms and concepts that pertain to this area of research.

  • Emmanuelle Prest of PWNT: “Drinking Water Must Remain of the Same Quality on Its Way to the Consumers’ Taps”
    40 / INSIGHT INSIGHT / 41 Emmanuelle Prest of PWNT: “Drinking water must remain of the same quality on its way to the consumers’ taps” A researcher at PWNT, Emmanuelle Prest shares her insight in the importance of maintain drinking water standardduring transportation from plant to consumers’ taps. mmanuelle Prest is a scientist at the water technology company, PWNT, in the Netherlands. Her research focuses on drinking water quality during the transport of water from treatment plant to consumers’ tap and its biological stability. In other words, how to prevent Ethe growth of micro-organisms and formation of sediments in the transport and distribution pipelines? Disadvantages of chemical disinfection “It is important for every drinking water producer that the drinking water quality remains the same on its way to the consumers’ tap, especially from a microbiological point of view,” explained Prest. “That is a global requirement and that is the idea behind biological stability. For instance, in the U.S. disinfectant chemicals, such as chlorine or monochloramine, are dosed into the distributed water. They keep the concentration high across the distribution system to prevent bacterial growth and activity. Most countries all over the world use chlorine in their distribution. That is their way to maintain microbiological safety in the water. However, the big disadvantage is that chlorine can react with molecules in the water and form reaction byproducts that affect human health.
