Kvadrat may refer to:
Kvadrat is a 2013 documentary feature film written, co-produced, and directed by Anatoly Ivanov. The film explores the realities of techno DJing, using the example of Russian DJ Andrey Pushkarev. Filmed as a hybrid between a road-movie and a music video, Kvadrat not only illustrates the festive atmosphere of techno night clubs, but also reveals the lesser known side of this profession. Shot in Switzerland, France, Hungary, Romania and Russia, the film omits the typical documentary elements: no interviews, no explanatory voice-over, no facts, no figures. It gives priority to abundantly sounding techno music, leaving the detailed interpretation to the viewer.
Cinematically, Kvadrat is of note for its distinctive color photography, intricate sound design, attention to details and lack of traditional dramatic structure, achieved on a very low budget.
DJ Andrey Pushkarev wakes up in his Moscow apartment, packs his vinyl records into a rolling bag and leaves for Domodedovo airport, to fly to Zurich. Upon arriving, he is greeted by the promoter of the Supermaket club. After falling asleep in the hotel, he is rudely awaken by the alarm, dresses up and leaves for the job in the middle of the night. After finishing his DJ set, he leaves the club to take the train to Geneva. While en route, instead of admiring the Alpine scenery, he sleeps.
Kvadrat is a textile company established in Denmark in 1968 with deep roots in Scandinavia’s design tradition. Kvadrat holds the leading position in Europe’s high-quality textile market and supplies architects, designers and private consumers across the world. Their textiles and textile-related products have been used in some of the world’s most important architectural landmarks.
Kvadrat works to expand the aesthetic, technological and artistic boundaries of the use of textiles, their products reflect commitment to colour, quality, simplicity and innovation.
Kvadrat (Danish for 'square') emerged at the height of 1960's frenzy for all things Scandinavian in design. It was a time of idealism and optimism in Danish design in the light of increasing international success. The company was founded by Poul Byriel and Erling Rasmussen in 1968 in Ebeltoft, Denmark. They worked closely with designers such as Nanna Ditzel, Finn Juhl, Nina Koppel and Gunnar Aagaard Andersen and created a portfolio of furniture textiles. With the force of their modernist heritage behind them these designers were seen as possessing the power to improve everyday life. Kvadrat received official recognition when the company received Møbelprisen 87 for their 'courage and sensibility in modern domestic culture'.
Gaviota Herida - Nana Mouskouri
J. M. Purón
Gaviota herida
Que ocultas en las rocas
Tu blanco cuerpo
Gaviota herida
No entierres en la arena
Todos tus sueños
Algún día
Tenemos que alzar el vuelo
Tú olvidando tu miedo
Yo mis desvelos
Gaviota herida
También tú cada noche
Miras el cielo
Donde tus alas
Tan libres como nubes
Siempre se abrieron
Yo sé que una mañana
Vendrá la vida
A llamar a tu puerta
No la despidas
Gaviota herida
Que yo también de nuevo
Vuelvo a la vida
Extenderé mis brazos
Sobre las olas
Y llenaré mis ojos
De tu alegría
Y dejaré una pena
Oculta entre las rocas
Para seguir tu rumbo
Al nacer el día
Gaviota mia
Gaviota mia
Y olvidaremos juntas
Nuestras heridas
Gaviota herida
Reflejo de una tierra
Que se levanta
Estando viva
Tu corazón de pueblo
Por qué no canta
Despierta la esperanza
Que está dormida
Y llama en mi ventana
Amiga mia
Gaviota herida
Que yo también contigo
Vuelvo a la vida
Extenderé mis brazos
Sobre las olas
Y llenaré mis ojos
Y dejaré una pena
Oculta entre las rocas
Para seguir tu rumbo
Al nacer el día
Gaviota mia
Gaviota mia
Y olvidaremos juntas
Nuestras heridas
