VIENNA REVIEW

Uploading some impressions from sunny Vienna to AGDO was on my agenda all the time! Now I'm glad to announce that these pics are finally online ...

See you there ...

ART IN THE CITY

When you stroll through the Hafencity these days you will suddenly discover some large stacks of rusty containers – irregularly arranged and beautifully lit. A faint smell of a hearty BBQ will be in the air as well as some subwoofers will be pumping low. Finally you will learn that you are on subvision art festival.

For one week a good bunch of young artists are showcasing their work on 33.1 m³ each at this special site right next to the Elbe. Some works are really inspiring and it rather should be fun to meet up some friends having a small chat ...

RAP IN THE CITY

While Jule is listening to a lot of Jazz recently I decided to have a closer look on Hip-Hop music again.

Since I wanted to see whether there is some progress in some artists careers I bought amongst others the latest records by Mos Def and B-Real two artists I used to listen to all my younger days.

I learned that they indeed were undergoing a certain development. But even though they for sure came up with two nicely-mixed records – to me their music is not that thrilling any longer.

Or is it that I simply like the older records so much more because they trip me down a dim memory lane ;o)

Make your mind up yourself – this is just if you like to ...

JAZZ IN THE CITY

CONGRAT'S EVERYBODY!

22 August 2008 – the day we started this!

Thank you all for bringing this forth with all your contributions, ideas, shouts and love! It has been so much fun to me!

Looking forward to our next anniversary,

N.

... AND EVEN MORE!

Ok, then here's another post on graffity! It's a piece I found when we stayed in the Netherlands a few month ago. A piece – which even though it seems to be a commercial work – I pretty much like!

This dutch guy also has a quite nice portfolio ...

Enjoy ...

MINT DESIGN

Here is coming a nice designblog for us girlies out there ;o)

WALKING ON SUNSHINE ... OOOOOH

Ooooh... a real grand day out!

HOW TO ...

... survive cooking (trying strange experiments that maybe can't be called recipes ...):
Pizzelette (summer version): cook a regular omelette and place it open on the dish, add the other ingredients on top, (i.e.: vegetables, cream-cheese, ham, whatever you have at hand that is eatable) eat it like a pizza ...! It's better in summer because it gets cold quite fast... so ya better chop the ingredients at the start...

I AM ...

Mato, you're almost right.

I'm a green, nice thing.
But I didn't grow all the time.
Only when it's sunny and there are friendly people around ;o)

I'm loving to live in group and network systems and to raise a smile on your face...

I'm a Birthday-Sunflower... ;o)

HEY MR. DIDGERIDOO-MAN ...

... play a song for me! In bi, ba, boring Mönkebergstrasse and I'll come singin' with you!

Unfortunately you can't listen to all these strange sounds coming out of some old plastic drainpipes but one thing you can tell: This weirdo just rocks!

¡Hasta luego!

DON'T GET LLLLOST ...

... better be ffffound!

HIDE AND SEEK – PRESERVE MORE ART!

Sometimes, when they tear down old houses, you can discover great pieces of art. Art from which exhistance you hardly didn't even know about. The sad thing is that nobody preserves these old masterpieces of hand-painted advertisements.

Just picture yourself in one of these luxury appartments that soon will be standing in that place, looking through a thick window pane on some softly illuminated cracked paint on this very brick wall ... !? Would be nice, wouldn't it?

No – probably you never will be able to do so and that's why these kind of advertisements slowly but steadly are disappearing from our city scape ;o(

However and just in case you like this kind of paintings too follow this inspiring link here ...

Please enjoy!
