César Manrique knew how to bathe

Artist and architect César Manrique was born in Lanzarote and left his traces all over the island. He lived in volcanic bubbles under the ground and among others he designed a cactus garden, a mirador, a restaurant that uses volcanic heat to cook, a concert venue and pool in volcanic caves and tubes etcetera.
More green (and lava rocks) in our bathrooms, I say!

"Recently there has been much written about minimal art, but I have not discovered anyone who admits to doing this kind of thing. There are other art forms around called primary structures, reductive, ejective, cool, and mini-art. No artist I know will own up to any of these either.  Therefore I conclude that it is part of a secret language that art critics use when communicating with each other through the medium of art magazines. Mini-art is best because it reminds one of miniskirts and long-legged girls.  It must refer to very small works of art. This is a very good idea. Perhaps  “mini-art” shows could be sent around the country in matchboxes. Or maybe the mini-artist is a very small person; say less than five feet tall. If so, much good work will be found in the primary schools (primary school primary structures)."
