London, Paris - March 2024

Just back from a fantastic art viewing adventure in the old world which featured stops at the Tate Modern and Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art in London, and the Musée d’Orsay, the Foundation Louis Vuitton and the Bourse de Commerce in Paris. The four-day trip was on the back end of a stay in the 13th century hilltop village of Petritoli, located in Le Marche, where local churches and those in the neighboring towns displayed marvelous medieval and renaissance style treasures. In the big cities, however, the focus was more on contemporary offerings. The whole made for a fascinating journey through an exciting part of art history.

London

An attempt to see the Yoko Ono exhibit at the Tate Modern was stymied by sold out crowds. The serendipity in poor planning however resulted in an opportunistic visit to the museum’s permanent collection, more specifically the magical second floor featuring modern masters and post war stalwarts. With entire rooms dedicated to the likes of Joan Mitchell and Gerhard Richter, among others, the walk-through played out like a greatest hits tour where around every corner an even more marvelous sensory treat was served up. Highlights of the visit included: Georges Braque’s early cubist masterpiece “Clarinet and Bottle of Rum on Mantlepiece”, 1911, oil on canvas (31.9 x 23.6 in.); Giorgio Griffa’s painterly “Tre linee con arabesco n.111”, 1991, acrylic on unstretched and unbleached canvas (114.4 x 76.4 in.); and Agnes Martin’s contemplative grid patterned renderings “On a Clear Day”, 1973, thirty screenprints on paper (each 12 x 12 in.), edition 32 of 50.

On the other side of town on the campus of one of the world’s most renowned art schools, a Matt Connors exhibit, Finding Aid, opened its doors at the Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art. Featuring new and older works by the American abstract artist, the expansive grouping of paintings, sculptures and drawings cleverly paired Connors’ soft geometric abstraction and minimalist marking styles.  Showstoppers included: the large-scale bold vertical diptychs “Mural for a Gay Household I” and “Mural for a Gay Household II”, 2018-2020, acrylic on canvas; the vibrant “Red Top (deployed hatch)”, 2015, acrylic on canvas; and the sparse “Echo Implies Room (Orange/unprimed)”, 2012, acrylic and colored pencil on canvas.

Paris

Forty-eight hours later, the Eurostar abetted transition to Paris was speedy and eventless. Even under cloudy skies, the City of Light was totally sublime and uniquely picturesque. The art stops along the way were knockout shows in beautiful venues which in and of themselves were artistic and architectural marvels. At the Musée d’Orsay, the magnificently repurposed train station was the setting for the Paris 1874: Inventing Impressionism exhibit. The show celebrates the 150th anniversary of the inaugural exhibit of the then avant-garde movement and chronicles the transition from staid and traditional realism to hazier and freer interpretations of subject matter capturing a moment in time, an impression, so to speak. The cast of characters that led the way included MVPs in the annals of art history - Monet, Renoir, Degas and Cézanne, among others, all of whom figure prominently in the exhibit. The highlights included: Auguste Renoir’s “La Loge”, 1874, oil on canvas (31.5 x 24.8 in.); Claude Monet’s “Impression, soliel levant”, 1872, oil on canvas (19.63 x 25.63 in.); and Edgar Degas’ “Classe de danse”, circa 1870, oil on wood (7.75 x 10.63 in.).

The next visit on the journey was the futuristic Frank Gehry-designed Foundation Louis Vuitton and the Mark Rothko retrospective. The comprehensive exhibit brought together 115 or so works of the powerhouse American abstract artist and presented a chronology of the evolution of his early figurative renderings to mystical and surreal style paintings and finally, to his entrancing iconic floating forms. The highlights included: the early representational scene “Contemplation”, 1937-1938, oil on canvas; the surrealist masterpiece “Slow Swirl at the Edge of the Sea”,1944, oil on canvas; and dozens upon dozens of mesmerizing large format colour abstractions, including, “Orange and Red on Red”, 1957, oil on canvas (68.8 x 66 in.) and “No. 14”, 1960, oil on canvas (114 x 105 in.).

The last planned stop in Paris was the Pinault Collection at the impressively remodelled Bourse de Commerce. Spiralling up the majestic rotunda, works by contemporary art rockstars were prominently displayed. Among these were: Peter Doig’s haunting “Pelican (Stag)”, 2003-2004, oil on canvas; Maurizio Cattelan’s poignant “Him”, 2001, wax, human hair, suit, polyester resin and pigment; and a monumental installation by Sturtevant replicating the mythical room staged by Marcel Duchamp at the 1938 International Surrealist Exhibition in Paris.

Closing off the trip and reaching back in the art history timeline, a truly memorable work was discovered by happenstance during an unplanned visit to Eglise Saint-Séverin. Dating back to the 13th century, the gothic style place of worship housed numerous elaborate chapels which were all built around altars and adored by art of the time. A particular work stood out as it was presented alone hung high on a huge wall under a circular stained-glass window surrounded by nothing else but the serenity of the immediate environment. It totally radiated under the spotlight that illuminated a depicted religious figure sitting at a table who perhaps was Saint Séverin, a devout 6th century hermit and the church’s namesake.

Meanwhile, in the new world, there was a lot more commotion as Hogtown’s Jurassic Park was hit with an asteroid of epic proportions that essentially wiped out all remnants of a recent championship team.  The Dinos were dissected and dismantled. Gone are Crazy Eyes and OG-Won Kenobi, and team leader Scottie B and the much-maligned Austrian Big succumbed to season ending injuries. All the while, the newly minted Raptors including RJ the Prodigal Son Barrett and Immanuel La Squig Quickley struggled to stay healthy and make their mark. The result has been a team that is nowhere near relevant in the standings nor the hearts of fans. With the prospect of a lengthy and bumpy rebuilding process ahead, Dino fans can perhaps take some solace in rooting for the success of Raptor expats applying their trade elsewhere or maybe even Canadian hoopsters playing for true championship contenders. It’s all a lot rosier than the current state of affairs in Jurassic Park.

For more information on any of the venues, artists or works mentioned, or the sad sack Dinos, “Just Google It”.

There you have it sportsfans,

De peperbus van nonkel Miele (54): tussen geopolitiek en het volk

De vrijheid van de volkeren, en hun democratische toekomst, hangt onmiskenbaar af van de mate van soevereiniteit die de naties over hun toekomst hebben, in dialoog en door verdragen met andere volkeren. De belangrijkste parameters om het gehalte van volkssoevereiniteit te beoordelen zijn: de geopolitieke machtsverhoudingen en de interne machtsverhoudingen tussen de klassen in de naties. Continue…

Iberica hahni

Iberica was a genus of multituberculate mammal from the Early Cretaceous Period. Its type and only species is I. hahni. Known specimens were found in the El Castellar Formation in Galve, Spain. While the fossils assigned to Iberica have been known since the 1960s, they were not officially named until 2011.

The name Iberica comes from the fossil's location on the Iberian Peninsula. The specific name hahni was named in honor of Gerhard and Renate Hahn for their research on Iberian Peninsula multituberculates.

Known fossils of I. hahni include seven P1/3s (premolars), which are the type specimen, as well as the referred material of a P4 fragment (premolar) and two M2s (molars). Its autapomorphies include the four cusps on its premolars, as compared to three cusps from related genera, as well as cuspules on the mesial and distal margins.

The material assigned to I. hahni, especially the referred P4 and M2s, cannot be certainly assigned to either Eobaataridae or Plagiaulacidae. The type premolars are similar to that of Parabolodon elongatus and Eobaatar? pajaronensis. The P4 fragment is also very similar to that of Cheruscodon balvensis. The tentative assignment to Eobaataridae seems somewhat unlikely.

Classic German Children's Songs

Maybe you're learning German, maybe you're doing research for god knows what, but here is a list of some classic German children's songs and nursery rhymes

Alle meine Entchen

Alle Vögel sind schon da

Auf der Mauer, auf der Lauer

Brüderchen komm tanz mit mir

Das Wandern ist des Müllers Lust (for hiking/rambling)

Der Kuckuck und der Esel

Der Mond ist aufgegangen

Ein Männlein steht im Walde

Ein Vogel wollte Hochzeit machen

Es klappert die Mühle am rauschenden Bach

Fuchs du hast die Gans gestohlen

Grün sind alle meine Kleider

Guten Abend Gute Nacht

Hänschen Klein

Hejo, spann den Wagen an

Ich geh mit meiner Laterne ( for St Martin's Day)

Im Frühtau zu Berge (for hiking/rambling)

Kein schöner Land

Laterne, Laterne (for St Martin's Day)

Matten, Matten Meeren (for St Martin's Day)

Was müssen das für Bäume sein

Weißt du wieviel Sternlein stehen

Wer will fleißige Handwerker sehn

Bonus: for modern classics check out Rolf Zuckowsi and Gerhard Schöne

[chussyracing]

what has been happening in the world of motorsports?

(2.0 electric boogaloo edition)

Mohammed Ben Sulayem is under internal investigation for pushing officials not to certify Las Vegas gp as safe for racing and also for trying to interfere over Fernando Alonso getting a penalty in Jeddah 2023 race (he got a 10 second post race penalty which promoted... George i think? but later the penalty was overturned and he reclaimed the p3 and got his trophy back the next gp), apparently he also asked Max Verstappen to publicly defend/support/back Christian Horner as a way to calm down the situation where everyone talked about nothing but his workplace bahaviour (I suppose Max refused so that's kudos to him for doing the correct thing)

Aston Martin Vantage Safety Car will debut in Saudi Arabia (and will be back in British green)

there are loads of rumours about Red Bull and Horner currently, some are about him attempting to buy the RBR team, some are about Jos Verstappen being intimate with the same woman that accused Horner of inappropriate workplace behaviour, so he is personally interested in the case, after pictures and videos of Jos Verstappen and Toto Wolff appeared online, new rumours about Max Verstappen potentially going to Mercedes in fear of Red Bull falling appart with Ford looking for a way out of 2026 deal appeared too and Marko and Newey hypothetically following him there, after his comments Jos Verstappen is told not to be attending Saudi Arabia gp which may also be a part of solution they tried to find yesterday in Dubai where Max Verstappen's representatives apparently met with Horner (side note: this is another plea not to share any details about the victim which goes both for her pictures and her name, please don't make it harder as it undeniably already is)

Heikki Kovalainen has been forbidden from rally driving by his doctor in fear of his medical condition getting worse with the sport

Alpine announced new workers (after they fired basically everyone and the rest left on their own): Joe Burnell as engineering technical director, David Wheater as technical director of aero, and Ciaron Pilbeam as performance technical director

Mohammed Ben Sulayem spent some time in Turkey this week to talk to the president about a potential return of Turkish gp (probably as a part of a new rotation programme I mentioned in previous round up)

Abbi Pulling will be racing in British F4 Championship besides F1 Academy this year

Gerhard Berger's long lost Ferrari car was returned to him after police located it late last year

last week's Bahrain GP was the first time in history where all 20 cars finished the opening race of the season (speaking of Bahrain, Charles, Lewis and George were losing around 5/6 tenths per lap due to their car issues, Carlos, Logan and Alex also experienced smaller gap in pace because of their issues)

Williams announced their fanzone locations for 2024 season (Australia, Japan, Miami, Canada, Spain, Great Britain, Singapore, Austin, Las Vegas)

Spanish king Juan Carlos was at Bahrain GP and before you ask yourself, yes he took a picture with Carlos Sainz sr and Carlos Sainz jr (also fun fact he was involved in money-laundering case with Saudi Arabia but Swiss prosecutor had to drop the case due to lack of evidence)

Saudi Arabia showed plans for Qiddiya track to host gp from 2027 onwards designed by Tilke which features a turn 20 stories above ground level which could replace Jeddah in the future (did they heard us complaining about jeddah being dangerous and decided to make it even more dangerous?)

Red Bull Racing scored a record breaking new multiple-year partnership deal with Castore worth about 200m dollars

Otmar Szafnauer teamed up with Soft Pauer to make an app which is meant to help F1 teams with travel plans and Hitech is already a client of his while he claims Alpine also downloaded it

Pato O'Ward agreen on multi-year IndyCar contract extension with McLaren

From fan's point of view:

please be prepared for pr wars this year at multiple places: between Yuki and Daniel (recently due to highly controversial team order call), Charles and Carlos (recently due to false media narrative about car issues), Lewis and George (recently about effectivity of different race set ups)

we have press conference for tomorrow made up by: Lance, Charles, Nico, George, Yuki and Val (we also have one for team principals made of Bruno Famin from Alpine, Mike Krack from Aston Martin, Christian Horner from Red Bull Racing and James Vowles from Williams)

C2 challenges are back for this year with first of their quickfire challenges being already posted

little rant about the "F1 pundits" not checking their sources, because you might have seen the discourse but not get the background: Lawrence Baretto posted his usual section "Losers and Winners" of Bahrain gp and posted Charles in the section category (which would be correct considering he lost out on P2 because of brake issues), but he clearly went off with what Carlos said in the media and claimed that both drivers had the same issues - a fact that Charles, Xavi, and Fred himself disputed

more drivers did photo dumps: Alex, Yuki, Carlos

some drivers were modelling, particularly Charles, Carlos and Daniel

Max Verstappen made some championship predictions (Verstappen, Hamilton, Leclerc) and there has been a lot of talk about him not mentioning Perez so just a PSA

reminder that this week the gp is on Saturday because of Ramadan and besides F1, you can also look forward to F2, F1 Academy and Indycar races

Olga Secerov

I am a fine art photographer based in Kent, United Kingdom. I graduated in 1995 with a degree in Fine Art at Middlesex University. I then studied Communication and Design at Central St Martins in London.

My work explores the notion of which I call the emergent image. The image that appears out of the mist, that comes through as if from another place, as if from nowhere.

Sometimes, I work deliberately without content. A pair of boots on an old carpet, whose boots? What went on? The story is interpreted by the viewer who fills in the context or what might or what might have not happened.

My work is influenced by Peter Doig, Luc Tuymans, and Gerhard[ Richer. I'm also influenced by psychoanalysis, particularly Freud's concept of The Uncanny. The disease, the not feeling at home. The other scene of exile, dereliction, and abandonment.

My medium mainly works with 35mm, medium format, and Polaroid film. There are times when it is necessary to switch to Digital.

Martin Schneider - a life for music 🕯

Martin Schneider, was a Opera director, professor and father of Constanze (costume designer) and Christoph (Rammstein drummer)

Martin passed away in 2021, and Tagesspiegel posted an obituary for him, which i thought you might like to read 🌺

Obituary for Martin Schneider: Felsenstein says yes

He always returned from trips to the west. Not because of the country. Because of the family and the opera.

Sometimes  it all begins with an urgent wish, the origin of which remains a mystery, but which sets the course for a whole life: Martin Schneider, whose life has been about classical music, opera and, to a large extent, everything subtle, wanted a violin at the age of seven. His parents, his mother a housewife and his father an accountant, fulfilled his wish in Merseburg, Saxony-Anhalt. His cot and his mother's zither were exchanged for it, and with a briquette in one hand and the violin in the other, the boy went to the violin teacher, the piece of coal being part of the fee.

He later became a member of the "Schäfer Choir" and many years later played Bach's Double Concerto in the Cathedral of Merseburg with Gerhard Schäfer, his choirmaster for 13 years. So the direction was set, and the young Schneider continued to follow it consistently: He studied music education, German and musicology at the Martin Luther University in Halle, graduated with a diploma, and when, in the summer of 1961, after all his studying, he went on vacation to the Feldberg Lakes in the Uckermark, he learned about the construction of the Wall in Berlin and also about his first job in the music department of the Berlin Radio. Berlin, the big city that was still unknown to him, in which he had only once seen “The Good Man by Sezuan” with the young Käthe Reichel at the Berliner Ensemble, would from now on be his new home, but would also from now on be divided.

The leaders and steerers get involved

He started the journey with great excitement. And then noticed that he was expected to be an editor on children's radio. He had thought more of editing for serious music, but that didn't help, he accepted the challenge. But he soon looked elsewhere: he was far too annoyed that the socialist leaders and steerers themselves interfered in the selection of children's songs. He had experienced that often; he remembered this time best: he appeared in the editorial office and all his colleagues looked at him in horror. Nobody said "How could you!", but it was clearly evident in their eyes. What happened? He had put the song "Now we're driving across the lake, across the lake" into the program on the very day a republic refugee paddled across the Baltic Sea in the direction of freedom. An unintentional coincidence, but he was accused of bad intention. This is how it could go in the socialist cultural apparatus.

Such experiences made him keep an eye out, he wanted to work creatively, maybe even use his own voice, but unfortunately it wasn't suitable, as the voice coach at the Komische Oper confirmed. She advised him to apply there as a dramaturge or assistant director, for him, as he will later say, "a sign from heaven". The rest is quickly told. Director Walter Felsenstein says yes, Martin Schneider starts with a trainee salary in September 1962: 450 marks gross. The salary increases in the coming years, as does the reputation of the new employee. He stays with the company for twelve years, succeeds and becomes a producer. Collaborates on Rigoletto, Don Carlos, Eugen Onegin. And Felsenstein makes many things possible, even the young father's move from a backyard dwelling with an outside toilet to a two-room apartment with hot running water. Daughter and son are born, Constanze becomes costume creator and designer, Christoph drummer for the rock band Rammstein. Their music is not really the father's taste, but he is happy that the son decided to go into music.

29 years "Bluebeard"

Martin Schneider always returns to the GDR from guest performances in western countries. Staying away is not an option, the connection to the family and to the opera is too important. In 1974 he moved to the Halle Opera House, became first director and took over the post of director in 1978. Felsenstein persuades him the promise to continue to supervise the "Blaubart" at the Berlin Komische Oper as evening director with a guest contract. He does this until 1992. In 29 years, the play has had 369 performances.

Another departure in 1980: Martin Schneider decides to become a freelancer. He works as a director and university teacher with teaching assignments at the Leipzig Music Academy. He becomes a professor at the Hanns Eisler Music Academy in Berlin.

A life for music, but also for many other things. For friends, good conversations, the Baltic Sea again and again and also for a new love. His first wife Brigitte does not return from a visit to the West in 1987, the marriage ends.��On the beach at Ückeritz he meets Antje, who is eight years younger, comes from Cottbus and was a music dealer there. She now lives in Berlin. Even in Cottbus, friends had raved about him, she absolutely should get to know this Schneider, he was directing at the Cottbus Theater, a great guy. But there is no meeting, only many years later their time on Usedom.

Two aesthetes come together here, enjoying each other's clever minds. They even make a program out of it, with which they will go on a tour through the whole country from 2000, a literary-musical reading tour, 1400 times in 20 years! They absorb literature that was not accessible to them in the GDR and pass it on to a grateful audience.

And they also travel a lot privately, to Rome, to Prague and again and again to the Baltic Sea. At home they invite you to song recitals, Schubert's "Winterreise" is on Martin Schneider's mind until the end. On March 1, 2020 he sings it one last time.

With a good friend, he oracles over a beer as to who will be on cloud seven or eight first. It almost becomes a bet. Martin Schneider would have lost now. He dies on January 22, losing to the cancer that has bothered him for eight years. He wanted his son to play a drum solo for his funeral service. And "The Song of the Moldau" by Brecht and Eisler. He had wanted to record it himself, but he didn't manage anymore.

Who is your least favorite driver?

fuck nikita Mazepin and FUCK nelson piquet 📢📢📢

Do you pull for drivers or do you like teams as well?

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a mclaren simp like my father before me. Mclaren always first. Even though right now isnt really a good time politically for them... 💀But all my memories bonding with my dad as a baby were watching mclaren race, i have to support them.....

If you like teams, what teams do you pull for?

Mclaren, BUT, I am slowly beginning to support aston martin too. Thats mostly Alonso's doing

How long have you been into F1?

Do you enjoy fanfic/RPF?

I live for Yaoi and Yuri. I have 60K in prosenna fanfiction and a 7 year old AO3 account to prove it.

My dad is, and my best friend's step dad also loves it and used to be a huge Nigel fan in the 80's! I'm very lucky because he lets me look through all his photos, and he even let me keep an Ayrton print. F1 has also helped me make alot of online friends, one of which I went on holiday with last year and every six months we'll fly across Europe to see each other. Yaoi brings people together people.

Als CDU-Granden einmal die ARD aus den Angeln heben wollten

Da der Spitzenkandidat der AfD in Thüringen angekündigt hat, im Fall einer Wahl zum Ministerpräsidenten den MDR-Staatsvertrag zu kündigen, bietet sich ein historischer Exkurs an: Vor rund viereinhalb Jahrzehnten kündigten schon einmal Ministerpräsidenten einen Sender-Staatsvertrag. Betroffen damals: der NDR. Für das Medienmagazin „journalist“ (Ausgabe 12/20) habe ich einen Text geschrieben, in dem es u.a. um diese Staatsvertragskündidung ging. Aus aktuellem Anlass republiziere ich hier die entsprechende Passage (mit leichten Änderungen).

Ende der 1970er, Anfang der 1980er Jahre drohte die Aufspaltung des NDR in einen Zwei-Länder-Sender und einen Sender für Hamburg. Es war „die dramatischste Situation, die es in der bundesdeutschen Rundfunkpolitik je gegeben hat“ , sagt der langjährige NDR-Intendant Jobst Plog, der seine Karriere beim Sender 1977 als Justiziar begann.

Die dramatischen Ereignisse begannen, nachdem das NDR Fernsehen 1977 die ersten Folgen einer Reihe mit dem nüchternen Titel „Der Betriebsrat“ ausgestrahlt hatte. Die Sendung hatte den Anspruch, Arbeitnehmern das Betriebsverfassungsgesetz nahezubringen. Der damals aus norddeutschen Ministern und vergleichbar hochrangigen Parteivertretern zusammengesetzte Verwaltungsrat des NDR forderte den Sender daraufhin auf, die Reihe „Der Betriebsrat“ abzusetzen – ohne die ausgestrahlten Filme überhaupt gesehen zu haben, wie Plog heute bemerkt. 

Als sich die Senderspitze weigerte, den Befehl der Parteienvertreter umzusetzen, kündigte Gerhard Stoltenberg, der damalige christdemokratische Ministerpräsident Schleswig-Holsteins, 1978 den Staatsvertrag. Niedersachsens Ministerpräsident Albrecht (CDU) kündigte den Vertrag einige Zeit später ebenfalls - und beantragte beim Bundesverwaltungsgericht die Feststellung, dass es sich um eine Auflösung des NDR handele. „Wir werden über den NDR das ganze Rundfunkwesen in Deutschland verändern“, proklamierte Albrecht.

Die beiden damaligen Ministerpräsidenten Schleswig-Holsteins und Niedersachsens hätten die „Axt an die Wurzel“ gelegt, sagt Plog. Im Februar 1980 unterzeichneten Stoltenberg und Albrecht einen Zwei-Länder-Staatsvertrag, den der damalige NDR-Intendant Martin  Neuffer als Ausdruck eines „etatistischen Denkens“ bezeichnete. Dass „ein unabhängiger kritischer Journalismus Leitziel der Programmgestaltung“ sei, lasse dieser Staatsvertrag nicht erkennen. Der damalige nordrhein-westfälische Innenminister Burkhard Hirsch (FDP) war der Ansicht, Albrecht und Stoltenberg wollten einen „Staatsrundfunk“ etablieren.

Im Mai 1980 war der Spuk vorbei, als das Bundesverwaltungsgericht im Sinne des NDR entschied. Innerhalb relativ kurzer Zeit einigten sich Hamburg, Niedersachsen und Schleswig-Holstein auf einen neuen gemeinsamen Staatsvertrag.
