<p align="justify"> <b> Manhattan, N.Y.</b>, je velik umetniški projekt, ki povezuje
12 znanih slovenskih umetnikov in ustvarjalcev: Miha Boljka, Jakov Brdar, Romi
Bukovec, Dalaj Eegol, Klementina Golija, Marjeta Grošelj, Vida Klenovšek, Leonard
Rubins, Miranda Rumina, Huberto Široka, Klavdij Tutta, Petra Varl. Vsak od njih
je za projekt odstopil 19 slik iz svojega umetniškega opusa. Te slike so reproducirane
na kamnite bloke - nebotičnike in velike zgradbe - ki skupaj z objekti iz stekla,
brona in voska ustvarijo fantazijski <b>Manhattan</b>. Razstava bo s svečano
otvoritvijo <b>25. 5. 2005</b> ob 19.30 združila dve izolski točki - <b>Galerijo
Kerubin</b> in novo <b>Internetno kavarno KT1</b> - ki bosta povezani tudi z
napisi ulic Manhattana na Ljubljanski ulici. V galeriji Kerubin bodo razstavljena
platna, ki prikazujejo resnični Manhattan - zemljevidi, fotografije, besedilo
pesmi Leonarda Cohena <b>First We Take Manhattan, Then We Take Berlin</b> (ki
dobro ponazori bistvo poetike projekta) ... V Internetni kavarni KT1 pa bodo
v line nameščeni prej omenjeni objekti. Na multimediji s tremi velikimi in šestimi
malimi projekcijami bo premierno predstavljena obširna videoprodukcija z umetniškim
opusom sodelujočih. <br>
Razstava se bo po zaključku v Izoli najprej preselila v avlo <b>Eurocentra</b>
v Ljubljani, nato bo projekt predstavljen v <b>New Yorku</b>. Umetniki bodo
s svojimi stvaritvami predstavljeni tudi v dvojezični knjigi in na DVD-ju.<br>
Projekt so do sedaj podprli JSKD, Marmor Hotavlje, Porsche Slovenija, Pax, Kamnoseštvo
Granit, Pizzeria Gušt.</p>

Cohen: FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN</b><br>
(album I'M YOUR MAN) </p>
<p>They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom<br>
For trying to change the system from within<br>
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them<br>
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin</p>
<p> I'm guided by a signal in the heavens<br>
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin<br>
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons<br>
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin</p>
<p> I'd really like to live beside you, baby<br>

I love your body and your spirit and your clothes<br>
But you see that line there moving through the station?<br>
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those</p>
<p> Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win<br>
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline<br>
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin<br>
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin</p>
<p> I don't like your fashion business mister<br>
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin<br>
I don't like what happened to my sister<br>
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin</p>
<p> <b></b>I'd really like to live beside you, baby ...</p>

<p> And I thank you for those items that you sent me<br>
The monkey and the plywood violin<br>
I practiced every night, now I'm ready<br>
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin</p>
<p> I am guided</p>
<p> Ah, remember me, I used to live for music<br>
Remember me, I brought your groceries in<br>
Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded<br>
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin<br>
