I found this figure when I received a haircut in Kims hairstudio, it was placed on a canvas.
That’s exactly the mood I’d like to be in most of the time. Just don’t give a fuck! Do I?

a not very smart attack at the end of october. But I got the bastard before he got me!

If you insert certain tags into the googlesearch you get a thousands
of surveillancecams worldwide. The owners just didn’t protect their
networks. So you find cams in universities, on public places or even
in offices. There are so many and some are not working. But just check
it out yourself. These are the tags:

The founder of the boingboing blog, Cory Doctorow has written a new book.
It’s science fiction and called »Down and out in the magic kingdom«.
I haven’t read it yet, but I think it is about downloading the human psyche.
Very interesting! By the way, the German version is called »back up«.
I myself prefer reading real books, but this one you can download for free.

This was the opening of the exhibition of Anish Kapoor in the House of Art in Munich. He called it »svayambh«, what means something like »created by itself« in Sanskrit. Anish Kapoor was born in Bombay 1954 and doesn’t make any descriptions of his work. »Everybody has to find an own interpretation of the objects« is his message. Nice!

The big, red chump weighs a 40 tons and moves very slow through the hall. It is a little bit bigger than the passages, so it leaves material (wax, colour and vaseline) on the walls. Weird! In the description about the artist there was an interpretation of it. My question: Who wrote that? Something like: »In this work architecture and sculpture act as link between Geology and Biology. The red chump is body and blood as well as the geological movement through space.« Alright!

Anyway, it was fun. Kapoor created some really great pieces there. I liked the mirror-works most. Some really contortious, deforming distortions, which show you the world not only upside down, but fluently. But that’s only my interpretation.

I turned this photo 180°, look at the weird guy in the middle.

Watch it from the 18th October 07 to the 20th of January 2008, It’s worth it!

These are photos by Svetlana Krivonozhkina nicknamed Claire, a young photo-artist from Moscow. By the way, the top left, that’s her… and underneath is her beautiful friend Irene in Salzburg.

On Sunday I coincidentally went into a exhibition at the »heat plant art« in Munich.
That’s an old building of the Municipal Utilities Munich, which is abandoned right now.
They presented work from 19 artists on six floors. I passed through there in half an hour.
It was Guggenheim-like: Start from the top and walk your way down. Even if it looked
slightly empty, there still was a lot to see. So I can only present a few impressions here:

the view from the sixth floor was nice…

EmergeMc and anakondakanzler shaking hands in front of a weird picture…

a generating plant-like installation with the sound of electromagnetic influence…

light installation »leuchtende Vorbilder« by Vollrad Kutscher…

well painted pictures…

photographs of people in tubes…

whatever that is, I didn’t see Britney or Paris…

EmergeMc and paperwork in the elevator-hall…

and of course… art has to be protected!

highlight of the day, a spontaneous installation by the fluctibus corporation…

The German news-magazine Der Spiegel wrote in its last issue on the titelpage
“Forget about London and Paris!” and was claiming that the new trendy cities are
Barcelona, Dublin, Copenhagen, Tallinn and Hamburg. They might be right about
that. I’m myself sure about, that Copenhagen is going to be a big place for culture
and creativity. At least in the Summer. Because I’ve just spent a weekend there
lately and the atmosphere was splendid. But how so ever…

… don’t forget about London!

Check the Spaceinvaders

I just had the pleasure spending a week there. And believe me, it still is one of the
most vital places in Europe. Many things did change since I lived there ten years ago.
For example Soho is not the ultimate district anymore. Most of the cool record- and
clothing-stores are gone, but the old flair it is still there. The beautiful old italianstyle
cafe-houses are still opened and you got nice, weird and dodgy people running around,
just like in the old days.

Just chilling in Soho

Aha! The birthplace of William Blake, which appears not to be there…

Sclater Street corner Brick Lane

But the new stylee quarter of London is of course, Brick Lane, a street in the East End
of London, although called Banglatown, because of the Bangladeshi community witch has
located itself there. But it was as well used to be the heart of the Jewish an the Huguenot
communities. And since the 1990s it is a good area for clubbing, shopping and watching
street-art. Artists like Banksy and Dface are supposed to have a lot of work done there lately.
Unfortunately I did not find much of it. Anyway artists like Gilbert & George even live there.
Most of the Clubs and Galleries are located in and around the Old Truman Brewery. Over all
I like Brick Lane, because of its fucked up and completely graffiti bombed sights. Great!

More street-art in Brick Lane. Maybe a Banksy?
