“Hello?” is what I heard when I woke up.  The man sitting near me was rough looking with a dark beard, he was very tall and had a strong composure, he also spoke in a very strong Russian accent.  My head hurt.  The last thing I remember was being hit in the head by a rifle.  We were losing the war.  No one really knew what the war was about, we juts knew if you see someone that doesn't look, or walk like you, they were considered an enemy and they were to be killed immediately.  I had killed 194 people.  Men,women,children, you name it, I've probably killed it, just for not looking or walking like me.  I have seen things you could never imagine.  I've seen children being burned alive by the fires of Hell we would reign onto the random designated towns we were assigned.  The terrible things I have done.  I'm not sure how anyone could forgive me.  My memory was very vague and it seemed that I  suffered from amnesia.  I can never remember what I have done exactly.  I can remember in fragments of what I've done.  I asked the man what his name was.

“Vladimr, I was caught for walking the street past the curfew, what is your name?”

I couldn't remember because of the amnesia I was suffering from at the time.  I had realized I was wet, soaking in some very thick material.  It was blood.  I had a very hard time breathing after realizing this, my throat was cut from ear to ear.  I guess the people that caught me thought I was going to bleed out and die like some dog because of the wound I had received from them.  Vladimr seemed to realize I felt the blood.

“I got the same thing you did.”  He lifted his head up to show the same scar that I had.  A long cut, ear to ear, except he seemed to have been here for a much longer time than I had been here, since it was just a scar.  I tried to remember, but I couldn't.  I didn't even know what I was trying to remember.  Vladimr was looking at me oddly, almost devilishly.  He asked me when how I was going to die.  I was confused.  I had never thought about how I would die, just when.  I thought about how I was going to die.  My mind wondered.  Not knowing if I would die here, being caged like an animal or be set free in the hopefully near future and continue the war, but end up being killed that way.  Either way, I knew I wasn't going to get to go back to my home.

I had finally answered.

“I don't know.”

This was the first thing I had said to Vlad.  I had a very hard time talking because of my throat being cut.  I didn't know what else to say to him.  I couldn't remember his name.  The amnesia would wipe my memory.

“What is your name,” I had asked him again.

“Vladimr, I already told you twice now, I'm not going to say it again or I'll beat my name into you.”

It seemed Vladimr was very short tempered.  Even though I had done many bad things to the people in the towns, I was frightened by him.  He was very muscular.  It seemed like he might be able to lift an entire ship out of the water, but there was no water around to test that argument.  I got up and tried to walk around, but my legs hurt like someone ran my legs over with a train.  I pulled up my dark green camouflaged pants to see my legs broken with bone breaking through the skin.  I don't know how I hadn't felt this until I stood up.

As I looked at Vladimr again he had a different look on his face, one I hadn't seen since I had been home which was a very long time.  It had to be at least seven and a half years.  I could recognize the facial expression Vlad had now.  He had the same look that my wife had when she was sad.  Was I imagining things?  How could I recognize this look, but still have amnesia?  Maybe I was imagining Vladimr completely.  Maybe I tried to kill myself by jumping off of a bridge and broke my legs.  This didn't make sense though.  What about the memory of me being hit in the head with a rifle.  I tried to look at Vlad again and he was gone.  I didn't know where he had gone.  I didn't know where he was from, how old he was, if he had family...this list goes on.  I kept searching for him by looking around the room.  I think I was going crazy.  A random man locked in a cage with another man named Vlad.  The funny thing is, is I just blacked out because of the blood loss and had woken back up.  I think I had waited for at least two hours for him to return.  No one did.  Then another two, and then four.  I had waited what seemed like eternity for someone to return.

Until suddenly I hear a gate open close, Vlad was back in the cell alongside me once again.   I fell asleep almost instantly.  I was not sure how long I had slept, but Vladimr was still with me, so I felt somewhat safe, except for the bad temper he seemed to have.

“Where did you go?” I had asked him.

“You didn't know?” he replied.

“Know what?” I had said back to him.

“The people here, they are not like us, they are savages.  When the people are captured, they cut their throat to see who lives.  If you live, you are strong and you made to fight for your life in an arena.”  Vladimr had a very distraught look on his face because of this.  That is where he must have been, he must have been in the fight.

“When will they make me fight?”  I had asked him.

“When you stop bleeding, they can watch and know when you stop bleeding.  Which you have, so they will be in here for you within the next two days to stitch your throat back together and make you fight.” Vladimr said back to me.

It didn't even feel like it was one minute later and someone came to get me.  They shined a bright light into my eyes so it blinded me and I couldn't see and they put a bag over my head.

I shook the blanket off of my body, I was in a cold sweat and I had realized it was all a dream.
“Hello?”, is what I heard immediately after I woke up.  The man sitting near me was rough looking with a dark beard, he was very tall and had a strong composure, he also spoke in a very strong Russian accent.  My head hurt.  I think I have amnesia.

text:
It had been a little over a year since he had disappeared, and she was the only witness.  My loyal companion for the last eleven years, her eyes peered over her graying muzzle and gazed intently into mine, as if she was trying to read my mind.  She’d done this since she was a puppy.  Despite her age, she was still an active dog; she loved to run.  For the last year, though, she hadn’t been quite right.  Something had happened the day he disappeared that had changed her, and she was the only one who could say what it was.  Maybe she wasn’t trying to read my mind anymore, maybe she was desperately wishing I could read hers.

I had unlocked our front door that evening, after a long day of work, expecting him to be there.  Instead I found the kitchen sink running, and her backed into a corner, barking like mad.   His shoes were oddly placed in the middle of the floor, a stride apart, as though they had fallen off while he was mid-step.  She wouldn’t take her eyes off those shoes.  There wasn’t much room to hide in our one-bedroom apartment, so it quickly became clear that he wasn’t there.  His car was still in the parking lot, his keys and wallet still on the mantle.  And the sink.  Running.  I tried describing to my closest friends and family the feeling of dread and panic I felt the moment I stepped into my home that day, like a fugue before a seizure, or a nauseating déjà vu, but they couldn’t hear me, had no idea what I was trying to say.  “Of course something bad happened, he’s missing,” they’d say.  What I was trying to tell them was that it wasn’t just the usual “bad” that happened there, a kidnapping, an assault, horrible but normal things that you hear about every day.  He had been in our home, on a normal, sunny day, and something truly abnormal, something not right, had happened to him.  I could feel it.  And I could feel that he was still out there, existing somewhere, and suffering, and this knowledge was more than I could bear.

The weeks and months that followed were a dark, anxiety-soaked blur.  The police went through the process of ruling me out as a suspect pretty quickly; I had been at work.  I wasn’t strong enough or big enough to move his body.  There was no evidence of a struggle.  The dog and I slept on the couch every night – I hadn’t allowed her up there in years.  She was the only one with whom I could share my numbness, my horror and despair.  I had nightmares.   Worse, I would dream that he had come back to me, that I would wake up in bed and he was next to me smiling widely, and it was a normal workday, only to awaken on the couch and have my reality flood in on me again.  No funeral, no casket, no closure.  Only a year of nights on the couch, in the apartment we used to share, knowing in my bones that he needed help, knowing I would never find him.  A few acquaintances had recommended that I go to a medium, or a pet psychic, to find out what happened.  I thanked them but knew there was no way in hell I was doing that.  Others began to point out that he had been missing for so long that it was probably time to move on.

On the one-year anniversary of his disappearance, I received a letter.  When I first read it, I assumed it was a tasteless joke, and threw it in the trash.  But then I got the phone call.  A researcher, a neurologist, on the other side of the country was in the initial stages of testing a method to download information directly from brain matter.  They hadn’t opened the testing up to human tissue, but they had been working with monkeys, cats… and dogs.  The researcher explained that this was an opportunity for us to help each other.  He could find out what the dog knew while simultaneously proving the worth of his research in a way that would guarantee future funding - “would you like to know what happened to your partner?”

The catch?  It might not work, and because of her age, she might die.  I wrestled with the decision for two weeks.  I had lost one piece of me, was it worth it to potentially lose another?  Forever?  But she was an old dog, and what if it worked?  What if she died, but I still found out what happened, could end his suffering?  Get some closure?  Maybe even get him back?  Would her quiet, painless death justify the end to his possible torment?  I didn’t tell anyone, not my friends, coworkers, or family members, about the decision I was faced with.  I took her for long walks, I let her run off-leash, I fed her table scraps as my decision began to cement in my mind.  It didn’t feel ethical, to betray my loyal dog in this way, but I had to try.  We flew across the country, to this lab in the basement of a university building, where I’m holding her face for what may be the last time, and her trusting gaze is more than I can take.  I hate myself, and I’m so empty that there’s plenty of room for my self-loathing.  I tell her I love her.  I tell her I’ll see her soon.  I leave.

It’s six hours since I said good-bye to my dog, my friend for the last 11 years.  The researcher’s graduate students are telling me that she went peacefully, that she just never woke up after she went under.    They tell me that the researcher is downloading the data now to see if the procedure worked, that it may take a moment, that the data may have gotten scrambled in the process, we have to wait and see.  I sit numbly, holding her collar in my hands.  My sadness is bottomless, it seeps into my bones.  I barely hear them talk.  I feel truly alone.  I hate myself, I wish that I had just been satisfied with the despair I felt after losing him.  Why did I decide to risk her life for such a long shot?  I sit on a tall metal stool, hunched, expressionless, while we wait the endless fifteen minutes it takes for the researcher to finish his task.  I realize that, whatever the result, I’ll never get my life back the way it was before, before he disappeared, when it was perfect, and this thought kills me.  The door to the procedure room opens, and the researcher walks out…

A year later, the dog undergoes an experimental procedure to download its memories directly from its brain to find out what happened that night. The dog does not survive the procedure.

answer: The narrator's dog has been their companion for the past eleven years. She is starting to gray, but she is still an active dog. She is the only witness to the narrator's partner's disappearance. The narrator takes the dog to undergo a risky, experimental procedure to try to access her memories of the disappearance, and she dies during the procedure. It is left unresolved whether the procedure was successful.

answer: The narrator's dog is a loyal companion who the narrator had for the last 11 years. She's a large dog, and gets along great with her owner, who loves her more than anything. The dog was traumatized when the narrator's husband mysteriously disappeared, and started showing abnormal behavior. The dog slept on the couch instead of her usual spot for the past year. She also ate table scraps because she was so upset over what happened. The narrator flies to the research lab because he's been researching brain uploading in order to download data from his dog's brain and desperate to find her husband. The narrator will do anything to find the husband and get some closure, even though the dog may die.

The narrator will do anything to find the husband and get some closure, even though the dog may die. The dog does not survive the procedure.

answer: The narrator's dog is her loyal companion who has helped her cope with the disappearance of her partner. She is ten years old and could face possible death during an experimental procedure to learn more about the partner's disappearance. Still, the narrator decides to go through with the procedure for the hope of closure.

answer: The narrator's dog is her loyal companion who has been changed by her partner's disappearance. The dog has gone through an ordeal that has deeply impacted her and the only way the narrator can find closure is to attempt to find out what happened to her partner. The dog willingly has agreed to participate in an experimental procedure in order to find closure for both of them. The dog has passed away peacefully during the procedure and the outcome remains unclear. The dog was compassionate and trusting in helping the narrator try to find closure.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about what happened to the narrator's partner?

answer: The narrator came home one day and found the kitchen sink running, and their dog was backed into a corner barking. Their partner's shoes were in the middle of the floor, a stride apart, as if they had fallen off mid-step. His car was still in the parking lot, and his keys and wallet were still on the mantle. The narrator has a strong feeling that something abnormal happened to him, and that he is still out there somewhere and suffering.

text: The answer should mention that the partner went missing.

refinement: The narrator came home one day and found the kitchen sink running, and their dog was backed into a corner barking. Their partner's shoes were in the middle of the floor, a stride apart, as if they had fallen off mid-step. His car was still in the parking lot, and his keys and wallet were still on the mantle. He was nowhere to be found. The narrator has a strong feeling that something abnormal happened to him, and that he is still out there somewhere and suffering.

answer: At least one year ago, the narrator's partner disappeared without explanation. Although the police ruled the narrator out as a suspect, there was no evidence of a struggle and his belongings were still in the apartment. The dog has not been herself since that day, and the narrator is now considering participating in a procedure that would download information from her brain. The research indicates the procedure may have been successful, but the narrator is conflicted. In the end, the dog went peacefully and the researcher has arrived to report the procedure was successful.

text: The details about the dog are unnecessary.

refinement: At least one year ago, the narrator's partner disappeared without explanation. Although the police ruled the narrator out as a suspect, there was no evidence of a struggle and his belongings were still in the apartment.

answer: The text indicates that the narrator's partner disappeared without any explanation; the only evidence left behind was his shoes and the running sink. Another researcher has approached the narrator with an offer to find out what happened to the partner using a brain downloading procedure on the partner's dog. The narrator weighed the pros and cons of this process, eventually deciding to go through with it despite concerns about the dog's safety. The researcher's graduate students report that the dog died in the procedure, though the data of what happened is still being analyzed.

answer: That is not stated directly. The narrator hypothesizes that the reason they're looking into a dog to find out what happened to the human is due to their theory that experiments gone badly sometimes result in a human disappearing. And since many humans are cured of major things in their brains such as stroke, it is reasonable to assume it is possible to download the information from one into a dog, provided the person was already dead first.

answer: The story focuses on the disappearance and what the dog did after the disappearance. The dog was looking for the narrator's partner and indicated that something abnormal had happened. The dog started to murmur and moan around the narrator after the partner's disappearance.

_BARTRAMIA NOTHOSTRICTA_ is a species of mosses in the family Bertramiaceae and is endemic to the south-east of Australia. It grows in small colonies in moist places, and is recognised by its leaves which look like a shaving brush and by its bright green, spherical, lollipop-like capsules.

Description

_Bartramia nothostricta_ moss plants are tall and form dense clusters or “turfs” which are bright green above and brownish below. The stems have a fairly large central strand and there are only a few, dark red-brown rhizoids at the base. The leaves are erect around the stem, standing like the hairs on a shaving brush. The leaves are narrow lance-shaped, long, about wide, have small teeth on the edge and are constructed of two cell layers. The costa or “nerve” is strong, and more or less prominent on the lower side. The capsules are almost spherical, bright green and sit on top of a red stalk. The peristome has short yellowish teeth.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

_Bartramia nothostricta_ was first formally described in 1987 by David Catcheside and the description was published in _Memoirs of the New York Botanic Garden_.[3] The specific epithet (_nothostricta_) is derived from the Ancient Greek word _nothos_ meaning “spurious”, “bastard” or “false”'[4] and the Latin word _stricta_ meaning “straight” or “tight”.[5]

Distribution and habitat

This moss species occurs in the Flinders Ranges and Southern Lofty botanical regions of South Australia and in Victoria where it grows on earth banks and near streams.[6][7][8]

refinement: Bartramia nothostricta moss plants are tall and form dense clusters or "turfs" which are bright green above and brownish below. The stems have a fairly large central strand and there are only a few, dark red-brown rhizoids at the base. The leaves are erect around the stem, standing like the hairs on a shaving brush. The leaves are narrowly lance-shaped, long, about wide, have small teeth on the edge, and are constructed of two cell layers. The costa or "nerve" is strong, and more or less prominent on the lower side. The capsules are almost spherical, bright green, and sit on top of a red stalk. The peristome has short yellowish teeth.

_The Matcha Sundae and Matcha Sparklers, our favorites at Shuhari Matcha Cafe (Photo by Jean Trinh/LAist)_

A Japanese green tea-obsessed cafe with roots across the Pacific just landed in Venice—and they're making a splash with their sparkling matcha sodas and sliders drizzled with tart _ume_-mayo.

At first glance, the minimalist Shuhari Matcha Cafe looks very modern, with its sleek, white-tiled walls and muted, wooden accents. But once you dive into the tiny cafe on Abbot Kinney, you'll come to realize that the team behind it is trying to meld the old school with the new.

Their drink menu is a doozy, with over 40 green tea beverages, some of which have modern twists like matcha lattes laced with nutty _kinako_ powder and _kuromitsu_—a molasses-like syrup. And then there are all the bubbly matcha sparklers (which could very well become the _it_ drink of the summer) that are refreshing and heightened with flavors like freshly squeezed lemon juice, yuzu, pineapple and mint. Just like getting a drink at a bar, these sparklers are mixed together in cocktail shakers behind the counter. Trust us, get one.

If you're a purist, you can order green tea brewed the right way—and get to watch the meticulous process in action behind the counter that's decorated with rows of Japanese tea pots. Marc Chapman, Shuhari's manager, told LAist, "Each different tea is made properly, from the temperature to the steeping time to the water and what not."

If you couldn't tell already, these guys are serious about their green teas. Their jade-tinged tea leaves are sourced straight from the tea fields in Japan and curated by an expert who works with the tea farmers. If you want to expand your knowledge of green teas, they have a wall lined with bags of different varieties that you can buy and take home.

We were invited to check out Shuhari's grand opening on Thursday, and found glass cases full of Japanese grab-and-go pastries—like red-bean buns and curry bread—that hail from Cream Pan, a Japanese bakery in Tustin. The rest of the food comes from the mind of chef Michael Bower Johnston, who lived in Japan for 20 years and previously ran Wolfgang Puck's restaurants in the Land of the Rising Sun. He's a big supporter of making texture the star in his small bites, and it's evident in the dishes.

Take, for instance, his sundaes. The signature matcha sundae is a tornado of matcha ice cream swirled with red bean and _kuromitsu_ syrup, and then gorgeously topped with crunchy cornflakes, lightly sour dehydrated raspberries and dusted with matcha and _kinako_ powders. It's a balanced dessert that isn't overly sweet and chock full of texture, just like Johnston intended.

[shuhari-onigiri.jpg]

Their grab-and-go _onigiratzu_ is an popular trend imported straight from Japan. This one is similar to the _onigiri_ rice balls, but instead of molding the rice balls by hand (which relates to the meaning of the word _onigiri_), the _onigiratzu_ is sandwiched between layers of seaweed and rice. The fillings for the _onigartzu_ are a "modern twist on the concept" and a "marriage of East-meets-West," Chapman said. Inside you'll find shredded chicken topped with a flavorful _umeboshi_-mayo, or a yuzu-pepper sauce. Other fillings consist of pork loin stewed in a ginger sauce, and a creamy, wasabi-tinged tuna salad paired with hearts of palm.

[shuhari-sliders.jpg]

These fillings also make up some of Shuhari's sliders, which come out stuffed in the pillow-like, toasted bread rolls, and are paired with a crunchy slaw mixture of cabbage, shiso leaves and pickled shallots. You'll find other gourmet options like miso walnut pumpkin salad, and yuzu miso avocado on the menu. And if you're looking for something sweet, they'll even fill those rolls with house-made matcha butter or a strawberry balsamic glaze.

This is just the start for Shuhari Matcha Cafe. The company is planning on expanding their shops "hopefully to the rest of America and the world," Chapman said. Maybe they could be the next Starbucks?

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh told victims of gun violence to "stop blaming police," urging them to instead "man up" and cooperate with investigators.

Walsh gave a heated interview to reporters following a violent July Fourth that left one man dead and another four injured in Dorchester. Gun fire broke out just steps from a party where children were playing in a bouncy house.

_NECN Twitter_

In an NECN video posted Thursday, Walsh demanded victims of gun violence start talking to police.

"Last night, I think we had four or five people shot," Walsh said. "The thing that's frustrating about it, not one of them are talking. No one wants to say anything. You didn't see anything? You got shot and you didn't see anything?

"The people that got shot ... you need to step up and talk about who shot you and stop blaming the police and blaming the community and blaming society," he said. "If you got shot by a gun and you know who it is, then you need to help us out."

Walsh later posted a statement to Twitter after his comments drew some outcry.

Officers were called to 85 Fayston St. in Dorchester at about 7 p.m. on July Fourth after a fight at a party spilled out into the streets. Four men were shot, one suffering critical injuries, according to police.

The victims range in age from 22 years old to one man in his late 40s, according to police.

Hours later, police returned to the neighborhood. Officers were called to Brookford and Dacia Streets - less than a mile from the first scene - where they found a man who had been shot and killed. Late Tuesday night 31-year-old  Luis Martin Pinales-Perez was shot and killed on Crawford Street in Roxbury, police said.

Both Walsh and Boston Police Commissioner William Evans have expressed frustration over a lack of information in these and other shootings. This is a persistent problem - data published in

showed that 96 percent of gunmen involved in non-fatal shootings are never arrested.

At a press conference in May, Evans said police would focus on kids shooting other kids during the summer months. The city has seen an increase in fatal shootings this year - with 21 people dead, according to Boston police data. This is a 50 percent increase from the 14 shooting deaths in Boston at this time in 2017.

As of July 5, there had been 83 total shootings in Boston, down from 101 at this time in 2017. Stabbing deaths have also risen, according to the data.

In the Thursday interview, Walsh said he was frustrated.

"You are going to hurt somebody else," he said. "If you want to kill each other - it's a horrible thing, and I don't want to stand here as mayor and say, you know, we're justifying that - you kill each other. But what happens is you kill an innocent person and you disrupt a whole community, and you send the wrong message to young people and you send the wrong message to children in the neighborhood who want to enjoy the fireworks."

"It's time for the kids that are active in the game out in the neighborhood to step up, man up, and start to take responsibility for who they are and nevermind this coward's way out of shooting each other and not telling anybody," Walsh continued. "If somebody shoots you, you gotta talk about who shot you, if you can, unless you're dead, and then if you're dead you can't say who shot you because you're not here to talk about it, and then that's a real problem."

Walsh's language has been criticized as 'victim blaming" by some in the city. Some argue police are not building strong enough relationships with community members involved in gun violence - making the victims afraid to talk.

Mayor Walsh later responded through a statement issued on Twitter late Friday afternoon.

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why did Walsh say he was frustrated in the Thursday interview?

answer: Walsh was frustrated because victims of gun violence were not cooperating with law enforcement in investigations.

[Mighty No, 9]

 Spiritual successor to "Megaman," "Mighty No.9." (via https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9?ref=card)

The “Mighty No. 9” backer exclusive demo has been officially released recently. The much awaited spiritual sequel to the “Megaman” series, “Mighty No. 9,” has been on the receiving end of negative criticisms lately as its demo has been delayed numerous times by the developer. However, new reports claim that the final game will get another release date.

The new release date for “Mighty No. 9” is confirmed to be on Feb. 9 in North America. The game will come to other regions exactly three days after the North American release. The update was revealed on the Kickstarter page of the game developer, Comcept. The delay was caused by a few kinks in the game’s multiplayer mode, which Comcept and its partners needed to fix first.

“Comcept and our partners at Inti Creates and Deep Silver have been hard at work clearing up any remaining issues with the online modes included in Mighty No. 9. As a result of their progress, we are now able to officially announce our release date,” the developer said.

The announcement of the game’s delay was first seen at a NeoGaf post by one of Comcept’s developers. It said that the game will be pushed through the first quarter of 2016, and the developer looks to deliver the promise with the new release date.

Although the complete game was delayed, the exclusive demo for Kickstarter backers has gone live over the weekend. Comcept was apologetic for the delay in the release of the demo, but they reiterated that the delay was necessary for it to run smoothly.

The game will be out in February with physical copies for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Wii U. It will also have a digital version for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. A digital version is in the works for the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS as well.

NATHALIE DJURBERG (born 1978 in Lysekil) is a Swedish video artist who lives and works in Berlin.

Life and work

Djurberg is best known for producing claymation short films that are faux-naïve, but graphically violent and erotic.[1] Their main characters, as described by The New York Times, “are girls or young women engaged in various kinds of vileness: from mild deception, friendly torture and oddly benign bestiality to murder and mayhem.”[2] The films are accompanied by music by Hans Berg. She began making her own unique style of Claymation in 2001 and in 2004 she worked closely together with Berg to make narratives rich with symbolism that also often had humorous aspects to it.[3]

Natalie Djurberg's artistic animations introduce the viewer into a world of miniaturized, disfigured, mutilated and often grotesque animals. The human beings are transformed into caricatured figures. Some of Djurberg's notable works are: _New Movements in Fashion_ (2006), _The natural Selection_ (2006), _Turn into Me_ (2008), _I Found Myself Alone_ (2008) and _Hungry, Hungry Hippoes_ (2007).[4]

Djurberg's works have been shown at Performa 2007, at Tate Britain (2007), at the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in New York (2006) and at the Berlin Biennial of Contemporary Art (2006). They were also featured at solo shows at the Kunsthalle Wien (2007) and at Färgfabriken in Stockholm (2006). In 2008, she exhibited both installations and films at the Fondazione Prada in Milan.[5] Djurberg was awarded the Silver Lion for a Promising New Artist at the Venice Biennale in 2009.[6] In 2011, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis organized and exhibited _The Parade: Nathalie Djurberg with Music by Hans Berg_, which traveled to the New Museum in New York (2012) and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco (2012–2013).[7][8]

In 2012 at the new museum Djurberg’s installation included life-size sculptures of over eighty birds: pelicans, flamingos, turkeys, eagles, a dodo, and a snowy owl. These large pieces were made of wire, foam, silicone, painted fabric, and clay. The birds were depicted raising their wings, twisted their necks, and groomed each other. Many of them opened their mouths ferociously.[9] In 2020, her “Crocodile, egg, man”, created together with Berg, sold for 16,3 million SEK, a record sum for a contemporary Swedish work of art.[10]

Nathalie Djurberg is represented by Giò Marconi and Lisson Gallery.

Education

From 1994 to 1995, Djurberg received a Basic Art Education from the Folkuniversitetet in Göteborg. She attended the Hovedskous Art School in Göteborg from 1995 to 1997. During Djurberg’s schooling in Hovedskous she primarily focused on painting. Her painting skills are proven with the way her plasticine figures are modeled – her prowess gives her figures gestural expressionism.[11] Djurberg received her Master's degree from Malmö Art Academy in 2002.
