Face à l’eau

Face à l’eau è un’opera di arte pubblica permanente prodotta per la seconda edizione di SUD-Salon Urbain de Douala, all’interno dei Liquid projects; è stata commissionata da doual’art e prodotta nel quartiere di Bonamouti a Douala. L’opera è composta da una scala realizzata con pneumatici di automobile e cemento, e da una serie di cinque pannelli verticali realizzati in legno, metallo e plastica colorata ed è collocata di fronte al fiume Wouri. I pannelli più alti raggiungono tre metri e settanta di altezza e sono disposti in modo tale che da lontano diano l’impressione di essere un unico paravento. La realizzazione dell’opera è stata avviata con la produzione di un prototipo ed è stata accompagnata da una serie di laboratori di arte e grafica realizzati nel quartiere di Bonamouti e dedicati a una ventina di giovani partecipanti che hanno accompagnato l’artista nella scelta delle forme utilizzate nel plexiglas dei pannelli. Il luogo dove è collocata l’opera è un accesso al fiume, dove i pescatori si recano per lavarsi dopo aver ritirato le pagode.

Juanita Jordan’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Juanita Jordan net worth: Juanita Jordan is a former model most famous for being the ex-wife of NBA star Michael Jordan. As of this writing, Juanita Jordan has a net worth of $200 million. In 2006 Juanita received what was then the largest celebrity divorce settlement of all time. We’ll detail the settlement terms later in this article. Juanita Vanoy was born in Chicago, Illinois on June 13, 1959. She worked as a model and secretary for many years. She was working as a loan officer while also earning a degree when she met Michael Jordan at a Chicago restaurant in 1985. Michael was an NBA rookie heading into his second season with the Bulls. They were set-up through mutual friends and instantly hit it off. The pair began dating, and became engaged in 1987, but subsequently broke off the engagement. They eventually married in 1989 at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. At the time of their wedding they already had their first child, Jeffrey. Michael initially did not believe that he was the father of Jeffrey and Juanita had to go so far as to serve him with a legal paternity claim before Michael relented and the couple reconciled. Juanita and Michael went on to have three children, two sons and a daughter; Jeffrey Michael Jordan (born 1988), Marcus James Jordan (born 1990) and Jasmine Mickael Jordan (born 1992). Both sons would go on to play college basketball but did not pursue the NBA. Today Jeffrey works for the Jordan Brand on the digital team. Marcus is the founder of a boutique store called the Trophy Room. Jasmine worked for a time for the Charlotte Hornets (her dad owns the team). Today she is an executive at Nike. Juanita was famously pictured by Michael’s side when he made his second NBA retirement announcement in 1998 after 13 seasons and six NBA titles: Divorce Settlement: Juanita filed for divorce in 2002. She withdrew the petition a month later. In 2006 the couple jointly announced they were splitting for good. Legal filings would later reveal that Michael paid Juanita a divorce settlement worth $168 million. The settlement included a mix of property and assets. Michael retained ownership of their lavish custom-built 56,000 square-foot Chicago-suburbs home. Years later Michael would try to sell the home for $30 million. He eventually cut the price to $14 million but has still not found a buyer. Michael and Juanita set the record for the largest celebrity divorce settlement ever at the time, though it has since been eclipsed. After the divorce, Juanita largely retreated from the public eye to focus on their children and philanthropy. She collects art, focusing on African American artists. She serves on the board of Reel Beauty Inc. A Chicago non-profit that mentors young girls. Juanita Jordan was featured in the TV series ESPN SportsCentury in 2000 and E! True Hollywood Story in 2006.
